Saw them at the second Toronto show for the first time ever. (I've been a fan for years, it was long overdue to go see them live) What a show! Makes me proud to say I'm a fellow Canadian and live in the same city as most of these guys!

If there is a band out there that can still make god tier set lists ... its fucking rush \m/ Just got back from the Prudential show and holy hell was it amazing. First off what an INCREDIBLE setlist imo. (On my phone cbf to type it all.) Second we were originally about 5 rows from the wall on the veryyyyy top level.. we got upgraded for free to 23rd row from the stage on the floor. It was one hell of a show. Third.... they put on a flawless performance as usual \m/

Awesome, how did you get the upgrade?

Scrub206 · « **Reply #251 on:** October 21, 2012, 09:06:35 AM »

we were walking back to the first floor and my girlfriend saw some people talking to a guy that worked here. she walked up to him, didnt say anything, and he turned to us and was all like "you guys want upgrades?" so obviously we said yes and moved to the floor. it was amazing. My girlfriend was getting hardcore vertigo and couldn't sit where our tickets were so this actually saved the night.

rumborak · « **Reply #257 on:** October 24, 2012, 09:32:00 PM »

Just got back from the Boston show. Good stuff, but I have to be honest, there's a good chance that was my last Rush show. In the end I really just stick it out until they play their old stuff because I don't like their new stuff all that much, and shelling out $100 for songs that I've heard them play numerous times before is just not worth it. Nothing wrong with the guys, the price tag has just exceeded my enjoyment of their music.

Nick · « **Reply #258 on:** October 24, 2012, 09:33:12 PM »

Are you on crack?

I mean if you don't like the new stuff that's obviously going to suck, but aside from that the set was the freshest of the last two decades.

Now this will vary for a "b" night setlist, here is an exceprt from my review: "For those without a penchant for statistics, skip this paragraph! To recap, Rush bookmarked the first set with songs played the last two tours, but other than that, here are the rest of the songs with the last year they were played (in a full tour) in parenthesis. The Big Money (02), Force Ten (04), Grand Designs (86), The Body Electric (84), Territories (88), The Analog Kid (94), Bravado (04), and Where’s My Thing? (92)."

In addition the B setlist had The Pass (02) and Middltown Dreams (86 I think).

King Postwhore · « **Reply #259 on:** October 25, 2012, 05:39:07 AM »

Glad to see the B set last night. First of the tour that they didn't go between A and B. I didn't think they would but because of the Manchester NH show they did two B-sets on a row!! Very happy. I am gassed though. Working on 4 hours of sleep.

Suck it up cupcake! Its Rush, and it is worth it!

I loved the set list!

Dublagent66 · « **Reply #262 on:** October 25, 2012, 06:27:48 PM »

The Garden
BU2B
The Wreckers

Tough choices because this is the best Rush album I've heard in nearly 20 years.

KevShmev · « **Reply #263 on:** October 27, 2012, 11:15:12 AM »

Looks like Rush played Limelight in the Body Electric/Middletown Dreams slot last night in Buffalo. And online Rush fans everywhere bitched...

Also, some great videos from the Chicago show courtesy of a guy with the username Gene Sisson at youtube.

I saw the set list picture they (Rush) posted on FB last night. WTH?!

Looks like they're REALLY mixing it up this year. There was an opening night set list seen with "Limelight" in the encore, after "Tom Sawyer" and before "The Spirit Of Radio", making for a 3-song encore of about the same length as it is now with TS/2112. I guess they REALLY wanted to bring it back, but to replace TBE and MD?! Weird... would've been better to replace TSOR at the end of the 2nd set, maybe? Or replace TS in the encore?

If it were me, I wouldn't TOUCH the rotation of TBE/MD, but then again, they messed with the set the other night and didn't swap in "Wish Them Well"...

-Marc.

Nick · « **Reply #265 on:** October 27, 2012, 03:34:48 PM »

Oh man, if I had been following the tour and god TBE or Middletown switched out for any of the same old hits I'd be piiiiiisssed. I mean still pleased as hell about the overall tour set, but pissed about that instance.

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #266 on:** October 29, 2012, 02:28:13 AM »

Yeeeaaaahhhh kinda pissed they threw Limelight in there.....was hoping it would stay retired for this tour. Same goes for Freewill.

Nick · « **Reply #267 on:** October 29, 2012, 05:12:10 AM »

Wait, did they throw Freewill into the set?

chaotic_ripper · « **Reply #268 on:** October 29, 2012, 05:24:01 AM »

Maybe he meant Spirit. I haven't seen Freewill pop up yet.

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #269 on:** October 29, 2012, 11:56:21 AM »

No, I mean I was hoping Limelight and Freewill would stay out this tour completely. Freewill has, so far.

dbrooks22 · « **Reply #270 on:** October 31, 2012, 07:18:34 AM »

I have been avoiding all Rush threads since the start of the tour, as i wanted to be completely surprised at the setlist. Some notes:

1) Hopefully now you all will have some appreciation for my avatar

2) Geddy sounded GREAT. I was VERY surprised at how well he was singing. And everyone's playing was as good as i've ever seen them.

3) HOLY SETLIST!!! Aside from Far Cry, the first set was ALL between Signals and RTB, which is my absolute FAVORITE period of Rush!!! I couldn't believe it - totally unexpected and overwhelmed. Friggin Body Electric! Force Ten!!! GRAND DESIGNS!!!!! It felt like they were playing for me personally. Wow. I'm still in shock.

All things considered, last night in Charlotte I think was probably the best Rush show i've ever attended. The place was electric.

AngelBack · « **Reply #271 on:** October 31, 2012, 12:33:59 PM »

Will be seeing them tomorrow night in Atlanta. Can't really remember how many times I have seen them (every tour since late 70's), but this one will be special as my 12 year old son will be attending his very first concert. Guess I'll take him to DT next time and he will be ruined for life.

Mebert78 · « **Reply #272 on:** November 01, 2012, 10:25:28 AM »

Anyone else read the Clockwork Angels novel? If so, did you like/dislike it? I started it last night. It seems very well-written.

SystematicThought · « **Reply #273 on:** November 01, 2012, 10:29:35 AM »

I'm the opposite.

I just read the preview and thought it was forced and poorly written. The lyrics used in the text just feel so forced that it takes me out of the book.

If you need a sleeping pill, listen to NP's audiobook version. Love the guy and when he speaks, but man... Hope you enjoy it though

Anyone know if there are plans for a CD/DVD of this tour? This is the first one i actually want to buy since R30.

Scard · « **Reply #275 on:** November 06, 2012, 11:43:07 AM »

It seemed like they were filming when I was at the second Toronto Show. Also, the day between the 2 Toronto shows they had the ACC booked for filming but there was no show.

KevShmev · « **Reply #277 on:** November 06, 2012, 12:57:03 PM »

I have not heard of any concrete plans so of yet, but I pretty much figure they will release one from every tour until the day they die/retire, and given how much they love the new album combined with the fact that they are playing almost all of it, there is no way they don't record a show for a DVD/Blu-Ray release.

Meh... too many of the same old songs for me. Camera Eye, Presto, Marathon were highlights, but the rest of the setlist was pretty routine.

True, but I thought the light show was a treat in itself.
