toymaker Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Is there anything to verify that this is actually backstage at a Rush show? Not to suggest our book-reading, tennis-playing rock stars don't know how to party, but... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disembodied Spirit Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I do not see anything new.I do however see a combination of sets. Maybe 2 or 3 extra songs from the typical ABC setlists.Rush is just too hard a band to try and read, it could be the same set we have seen on the tour, or who knows what.We will be watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bard Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Just read this in another topic: Honestly, there are about a hundred other Rush songs I'd rather hear in LA than Losing It. LOL, I honestly I have no idea why that song is so revered. And I love Signals. It's my fave Rush album. There are at least 5 other Signals tracks I'd rather hear than Losing It. I have heard rumblings that the Forum gig will get an outta the blue shocker one-time-only deep cut. I've even heard what it might be. Hint.

I suspect this board will be pleasantly surprised come Saturday night 1030 pm PST. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christo Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 DEW, RB and TCE all in the one show. Please...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabesCavesOfIce Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 10.30PM PDT, last show, that's when they're on CoS, hmmm. Not NEPs favorite album. So Maybe FBN...But if it's CTTC,(the CP hint) that would be more like 9.00 PDT. They could play Necromancer and FoL, not sure Rush fans would be happy, considering Rush will be 15 minutes from retirement at that time. But that would be EPIC. What a run it has been. What a way to go out, the last five - ten years! From a nebbish band to unquestioned rock royalty. Their concerts will be sorely missed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexMike Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I was thinking "Limelight" as the second MP track would be appropriate. They've done it so much, they probably wouldn't need much rehearsal. Another thought I had was an extra encore of "The Garden" with a reunion of the string section. Or maybe the final song will be drawn from a hat that has every song they've ever recorded in it. "And the last Rush song ever to be played IS.....drum roll, Mr. Peart.....DOG YEARS! 1-2-3-4....". ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 On one hand I think they'll just do what they've been doing and not change anything. But on the other hand, I have a feeling they might do something really wild for the last show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairC45 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Maybe they'll play In The End in the encore ;) But seriously, one of the set-list from this tour plus Losing It with both Ben & Johnathan on violins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 If they play "In The End" I will have a stroke. I just want "Losing It" and I will walk into the "Limelight" Sunset with a jester's tear in my eye and smile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Would love Dog Years.or Kid GlovesEnd on a high note with some High Water, then never play live again. Hahaha! God I love that song. I've been playing the entire "Hold Your Fire" album for three days straight. I can't get enough. The drumming is off the hook. So fun. The last song the will end with in Los Angeles California will obviously be...... "A Farewell To Kings." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Keep an eye out for their families that night. If this is truly THE END, I would think maybe they would fly out for the show. Even Geddy's Mommy. Unless, of course, they are all so thankful it is finally all over, their attitude is more along the lines of Bette Davis' towards Leslie Howard in the old movie Of Human Bondage: "Good riddance to bad rubbish!" :) Neil is going to jump on his bus at exactly 10:52 pm and head home to Montecito.He will be with his beautiful wife and Olivia.He will be a full time husband and father.Rush is only immortal for a limited time. Everything comes to an end. Again my bet is they will play again in Toronto one last time. I will be there. Will you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I think the only "special" thing theyll do is break out Losing It. Otherwise, will be the same rotation. Theyve never been apt to go off script or make much ado over a final show of a tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZumbi Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I don´t believe that this is the last show they do on this tour... They take a long break, and then they going to Europe to play a couple of shows, and then they are going back to the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show on August 1 is not only the last show of the R40 tour, it is THE last Rush show ever. Neil will never tour again and Alex is also ready to retire. Hopefully we'll have a solo album from Geddy in a few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctbadger Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Too bad they don't televise it for the fans. Hopefully some good folks will be scoping it. Looks like a late night for us east coasters. I also hope some quality tapers will be in attendance as well. Maybe they will play "My Way" lol "And now, the end is nearAnd so I face the final curtainMy friend, I'll say it clearI'll state my case, of which I'm certainI've lived a life that's fullI traveled each and every highwayAnd more, much more than this, I did it my way" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
