Crimsonmistymemory Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 3 for me Natural Science, Jacob's Ladder and Xanadu although I did enjoy every song they performed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calirush Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 What was the ONE song this tour that just made you go, "YES!!!!!" more than all the other ones? For me, of course, it was Xanadu. Ten-plus minutes of Xanadu. Epicness to the extreme! I took this at San Jose show. http://youtu.be/RWjUrQhiD6U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcm Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I have to go with Losing it. It was my favorite song off of Signals and I had quoted it often during that time of my life. I have to say if it were not for that song I would have a hard time choosing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I didn't consider this song was because I didn't get to see it live in San Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfrushfan0122 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Opening with The Anarchist was f***ing awesome. This!!! I saw the Tulsa show, so the energy was completely different when they opened with Clockwork Angels instead of The Anarchist... And after the show that night, I thought about how much better it would be if they swapped the two and then two nights later boom... It happened!! Such a kickass opener... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merely Space Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Best part of the show is hard, but Xanadu did it for me every time. Best suprise I'd give the slight edge to Prelude with vocals over WYD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Facsimile Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Having avoided the setlists until my first show of the tour (Columbus), and although I'd heard rumors of a couple of songs being played, actually hearing Jacob's Ladder literally had me tearing up. I think my 15-year-old cousin (who had never seen a live rock show before) looked over and probably thought I was weird for being moved to tears by some random song he'd never heard before. Hemispheres Prelude was absolutely fantastic. In my 3 shows, I never caught setlist C, which in a way was unfortunate because my three favorite RUSH songs are Natural Science, Jacob's Ladder, and Hemispheres (in no particular order), but after stopping and thinking about it, I realized it probably was good I didn't get C because my head probably would have exploded by getting all three favorites right in a row. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirteen Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I never really paid too much attention to Jacob's Ladder before R40, but mein gott Jacob's Ladder live R40 was life-changingly EPIC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFloyd84 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 U.K. Rush fan here, so I didn't see the tour, but I've listened to a few full concerts. As such, I'd have to say Jacob's Ladder, with honorable mentions to Xanadu, Hemispheres: Prelude, Cygnus X-1, Clockwork Angels and What You're Doing. But as always, it's Rush, so it ALL rocked :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 How can I choose? There were so many "best" songs for me. I loved every moment of the show from the beginning to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 The most epic "HOLY SHIT it's really happening!!" moment ever was when Losing It was played the first time. Cygnus X-1 with the drum solo for me was killer! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanMeanPride Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 It has to come down to Xanadu vs. Jacob's Ladder for me. The doubleshot of Hemis and Cygnus was pretty cool as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanMeanPride Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 The most epic "HOLY SHIT it's really happening!!" moment ever was when Losing It was played the first time. Cygnus X-1 with the drum solo for me was killer! Yes! One of my absolute favorite things about this tour was the way the integrated Neil's solo into Cygnus, especially how they go straight back into it with Neil triggering the guitar sample. MAN that was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemispheres4Echo Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I didn't see a show in person but the best songs for me were Losing It, Jacob's Ladder, Hemispheres, Lakeside Park, Anthem and What you're doing. I think it was fantastic that they pulled these six songs out of the vault for this tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatchMaker97 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Jacob's Ladder for me. But How It Is and Losing It were just awesome surprises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shemp Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) My favourites after seeing them live were Jacobs Ladder, Xanadu, TMMB, Cygnus X-1 (especially the last 1.5 min.) and Animate. A special mention to Losing as it sounded great on video. Seeing it live must have been something. Edited August 9, 2015 by Shemp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I was at the July 19 Toronto show, so seeing Losing It with Ben Mink was a real treat. Xanadu was nice to hear again as well, especially with the double necks making a return, but Spirit of Radio is always the tune that is the most fun to see live. All the songs were great, just a well put together show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Tough choice because after RtB there were SO MANY...but I'd have to say Jacob's Ladder, with Lakeside Park a close second...I never thought I'd ever see either of those performed live! Xanadu was totally amazing, with the double necks and all...but I DID see a snippet of it on the R30 tour, which only made the fact that that they did it this tour partially special...so it get's an "honorable mention" But the whole second "set" was a something to be experienced!

g under p Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Jacobs Ladder and Xanadu HOWEVER, I would've given up those two to have heard The Camera Eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
why why zedd Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Jacob's Ladder. Waited since '81 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusGal Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Lakeside Park, hands down. I'd never heard them play Lakeside Park other than on ATWAS and it was *fantastic*! What You're Doing and the Garden Road riff are tied for a close second, but Lakeside Park wins. Sublime beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
