RushIslander Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I've only got ONE complaint, and it's that they dropped the awesome melodic riff in the outro of Xanadu that Geddy played on guitar for the R~40 version...ESPECIALLY because it was not captured on the ESL video, dammit! Other than that, I have nothing to complain about. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexMike Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Well, they could've made all R40 tickets available here first for TRF members after scouring the internet to find their smartest, coolest and most loyal fans. But they didn't. Jerks. :P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Alex was afraid he couldn't do it on account of his fingers being not so deft anymore, so they just left it out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is odd that it's left out - all 15 seconds or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troutman Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 No, 40+ years, I don't care what they do now. When Neil's wife and daughter died, everyone thought it was the end for Rush, and i bet they didn't mind also, it was still a good run. He came back for the fans and still kicking ass. They have done way too much for us and I'm grateful for that. Even with all the pain Alex and Neil have, they still do it for the fans Oh yeah, :goodone: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing that stuck out to me was leaving off the minor chords at the end of Cygnus X-1. I think that was a mistake. As far as Xanadu, I hear what part you're talking about, but maybe they didn't want to add more bells to Neil's kit or something.

Yeah - another 10 seconds or so - those chords are so distinctive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabesCavesOfIce Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 They sample plenty of vocals on their modern tracks live yet Cygnus x1 completely vocal free. A background sampled spinning whirling still descending of the original vocal would have been way awesome. That and more NYC shows over the years ;) Maximum demand meeting maximum supply. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 The more I think about it, I think they gave us plenty by just giving us the music. They didn't really owe us anything else so whatever else we've gotten has just been icing on the cake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I think Rush has done so much for their fans over the years, even above and beyond creating amazing music. As far as this tour, it is perfect. Absolutely perfect. They could not have done it any better. If I hadn't known better I would have thought they read my mind in order to make up large parts of the setlist as well :D Thank you, guys. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, they really did go all out for the fans this tour in terms of what the fans wanted to hear rather than what they wanted to play. I think of all the years before the Internet that I knew very little about them. It's not like today where their faces are plastered all over websites and magazines. Their music stood on its own. Just think how far we've come in the last 40 years. Just to be able to watch a live show on the Internet via Periscope is amazing to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) This tour is their love letter. No doubt for mentheyvhave outdone themselves with this show. This is truly for every Tush fan, young and old. Edited July 25, 2015 by Todem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
