In addition - press releases, reviews, articles, interviews, blogs, vlogs, and clogs from 5 years ago still exist online from the release of Snakes & Arrows, like this one:
https://brucejemcc.blogspot.com/2007/03/new-album-from-rush-snakes-and-arrows.html

...where the writer states "On May 1st, Rush releases their 19th album and it's called Snakes & Arrows".

So...there's that.

Not wanting to waste my votes on songs that don't have a prayer of being played, like The Necromancer and Hemispheres, I voted for:

Middletown Dreams
Open Secrets
Manhattan Project
The Enemy Within
Jacob's Ladder

And I remember it being said a few years back that the band does look at that site and take into it consideration - I believe New World Man was played on the VT tour because it was in the top 10 that year among voters - so this is not necessarily all for naught!

Here's the setlist I wrote that I'd like to see for the CA tour, and I think it's pretty realistic:

Freewill
Workin' Them Angels
Xanadu
Seven Cities Of Gold
Headlong Flight
The Pass
YYZ
Manhattan Project
Prime Mover
Closer To The Heart
Dreamline

Caravan
BU2B
Clockwork Angels
The Anarchist
Carnies
Subdivisions
Limelight
La Villa Strangiato
Middletown Dreams
Halo Effect
Drum Solo
Tom Sawyer
Distant Early Warning
Far Cry
The Spirit Of Radio

Encore:
2112 (full song)

In b4 Kev takes exception to large amount of new material to start the 2nd set.

theseoafs · « **Reply #2631 on:** May 21, 2012, 12:07:19 AM »

I'll hold off on the setlist-creation until I hear the new material.

KevShmev · « **Reply #2632 on:** May 21, 2012, 12:12:02 AM »

The selection of songs looks damn good, and while I hope they don't do it, a run of new songs in the 2nd set like that wouldn't surprise me. But my only beef with that set list is the weird placement for some of the songs.

Xanadu played 3rd in the first set?

2112 as the entire encore (when Geddy's voice will already be worn down from singing for over two hours)?

La Villa Strangianto in the middle of the set?

But like I said, I like the picks; I'd love to see Prime Mover and the Pass come back!

ytserush · « **Reply #2633 on:** May 21, 2012, 12:31:52 AM »

Damn near impossible, but I went with these:

Available Light

Peaceable Kingdom

Jacob's ladder (the obvious choice, duh!)
Middletown dreams
Peaceable Kingdom

Some of these just didn't get the love they deserve...

Hemispheres
Grand Designs
Manhattan Project
Prime Mover
Alien Shore

Lowdz · « **Reply #2638 on:** May 21, 2012, 03:42:32 AM »

Hopeless or not I voted

Necromancer
Fountains
Losing It
Middletown
Jacob's Ladder

In the results so far, who on earth is voting for FBN ahead of all those awesome songs?
If I had 10 votes it wouldn't have been enough for all the songs I want to see.

Zydar · « **Reply #2639 on:** May 21, 2012, 04:46:03 AM »

They're coming to Sweden Rock Festival next year!

In The Mood
Jacob's Ladder

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #2642 on:** May 21, 2012, 07:10:04 AM »

I went with:

The Necromancer
Different Strings (that would be hot to do after the Drum Solo, Acoustic resist style)
Losing it
After Image
Middletown Dreams

No anthem

skydivingninja · « **Reply #2643 on:** May 21, 2012, 07:17:27 AM »

Voted. First three are plausible. Last two probably aren't as much. First three are ranked by preference:

Manhattan Project
Turn the Page
Middletown Dreams
Bravest Face
A Farewell to Kings

EDIT: looking at the results so far. No surprise that Jacob's Ladder and Hemispheres are the top two, but Hemispheres is the longest of long shots. I'm happy to see love for Middletown Dreams, A Farewell to Kings, The Weapon, The Enemy Within, and Manhattan Project though. Its cool to see the deep cut tracks that Rush fans want to see live.

So there you go. We're already off by one, and apparently have been for a while. And I'm not even a hardcore Rush fan; I'm just anal.

Unless of course people would just accept that Feedback was a studio album. Maybe not in their somewhat narrower definition, but it was an album and it was recorded in the studio, so split hairs if you want, but obviously some people count it.

Nick · « **Reply #2645 on:** May 21, 2012, 09:08:09 AM »

And those people are wrong.

Good interview! And for those who don't read it, here's a big question many fans have wondered:

Quote

Have you recorded Clockwork Angels in surround sound for later release?
No we didn`t.

Guess no 5.1 this time around. At least there's vinyl!

-Marc.

Lowdz · « **Reply #2648 on:** May 22, 2012, 03:23:16 AM »

I think the most important part of the interview is where Alex mentions "the next album".

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #2649 on:** May 22, 2012, 03:43:39 AM »

"We`ve been throwing about set lists for the last couple of weeks and the length of the set is creeping up to over 4 hours so we`ll have to reign it in and fine tune it"

I could definitely get down with a 4 hour show, but even after they reign it in, it will be killer.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #2650 on:** May 22, 2012, 05:25:39 AM »

I say this every time an album and tour start but I'm still like a teenager whenever Rush news comes out.

I'll say this: if Alex was correct and Rush do bust out a few tunes they have never played before (not counting new songs), as well as songs they haven't played in a long time, I hope they dig deep into the 80s synth era albums. Consider that since 1991, they have only played:

4 songs from Signals
3 songs from Grace Under Pressure
3 songs from Power Windows
3 songs from Hold Your Fire

Plenty of great songs from all of those albums that haven't seen the light of day in forever, if ever. The fact that Between the Wheels, Mission and Marathon were all resurrected on the last three tours gives me great hope that another deep cut from one of those albums will be played this, or maybe even two.

Nick · « **Reply #2659 on:** May 22, 2012, 01:00:40 PM »

Yeah, as far as never before or little before played stuff the Synth era albums are the obvious place to go. I'd love to hear Lock and Key and Manhattan Project or Middletown or Territories this time around.
