Good to see two shows being filmed. Hopefully, this means that the songs being rotated will all be included.

Is anyone going to the Las Vegas show? We could do dinner or something before the show if anyone is interested.

Thanks for planting that seed in my mind. Now i'm scanning airfare and tickets for next weekend...

I hope this means we get ALL of the songs played this tour (well, almost all of them) on the CD set, in a mixed-set format, and not "here's one whole show on 3 CDs with the alternate-night tracks tacked on at the end" format, a la Rush In Rio.

I don't care about the CDs, but if they include all of the songs on the DVD, I hope they include them all in the running order instead of tacking a few on as bonus tracks. Instead of, for example, putting Dreamline on the regular second set running order, and then Manhattan Project as a bonus feature, just put them back to back like they were played that way (even though we know they weren't).

Best of luck! Given that it is a holiday weekend, it'll probably be tough. Still, hope you can make it!

Pretty much what I meant for the CDs, but I hope they do the same for the live show. And the shows are far enough apart from each other that they can do their laundry and wear the same exact clothes for both shows.

I'm hoping that, since they're performing 10 out of 12 songs from the new album that they order the songs closer to the album order than they have been doing in the show itself. Then again, I can always hope that, for one or both of those two shows that they play the WHOLE ALBUM live. What a treat THAT would be!

Cedar redaC · « **Reply #357 on:** November 14, 2012, 04:29:34 PM »

Or at least play the whole album over the course of both nights.

Looks like the Wreckers is getting more radio play. #5 this week

I've heard it a few times on the radio.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #360 on:** November 14, 2012, 05:02:06 PM »

Rush always has that one song made for radio and The Wreckers is perfect for that.

dbrooks22 · « **Reply #361 on:** November 14, 2012, 05:06:40 PM »

First time i heard the Wreckers, i thought "This is the best Rush song in 20yrs."

My next thought: "This could be the first new Rush song in a long time to get serious commercial airplay."

King Postwhore · « **Reply #362 on:** November 14, 2012, 05:10:58 PM »

Felt the same about,

Nobody's Hero
Half The World
How It Is
The Larger Bowl
The Wreckers

dbrooks22 · « **Reply #363 on:** November 14, 2012, 05:15:55 PM »

Ha!

I haven't felt that way about anything they've released since i started listening to Rush 20+yrs ago. Maybe Dreamline, but that's about it...

King Postwhore · « **Reply #364 on:** November 14, 2012, 05:19:47 PM »

Rush always had that formula of releasing a rocker as the radio single. I love Dreamline and Force Ten. But they always have that one, super hook ladened song.

KevShmev · « **Reply #365 on:** November 14, 2012, 09:43:23 PM »

I remember when Nobody's Hero came out, I thought, "Wow, that song is gonna get played to death on the radio, and it will be a live mainstay for years." I was right about the former, but wrong about the latter. In retrospect, I think the lyrics that start off the song are a bit too in-your-face and/or honest for some, but I still think the song is catchy as all get-out.

After they did "Resist" as an acoustic-set piece, I have always had hopes that "Nobody's Hero" would follow suit, but unfortunately, that has not yet come to pass.

It would make a great piece for that sort of mini-set. I think on the next tour they should bring back the acoustic-set and do 2-to-4 songs this time around, or maybe some sort of mini-medley of acoustic songs that heavily feature acoustic guitar?

KevShmev · « **Reply #367 on:** November 14, 2012, 10:05:36 PM »

I don't think Nobody's Hero will ever come back. I suspect it is too difficult for Geddy to sing the "But he/she nobody's hero!" line that leads into the choruses. If you listen to Different Stages, he struggled with it a bit back then, and that was 15 years ago, so it won't be any better now, and considering the bulk of that line is just Geddy's naked voice, with no musical accompaniment, I think that is now viewed as a song too difficult to vocally do justice (though they'd never come out and say it). Besides, considering how prevalent strings are in that song, if they were ever gonna play it again, it would have been on this tour, I think.

When news of touring with a string section broke, I immediately thought of this song as a great piece for them to play, but unfortunately, this was a missed opportunity. And you're right about that vocal line, might be too hard for Geddy now.

I suppose we can always hope for other not-so-common songs on future tours from their 90's-to-now albums, especially other tracks off CP and VT.

It looks like the cover art of a 5.1 mastering of 2112. I'd get it.

I don't see the need to make a brand new album cover when the original is perfectly fine.

Nick · « **Reply #374 on:** November 16, 2012, 05:29:02 AM »

It would most likely be a slip cover over the original, which is perfectly normal.

I really dig it. It's got a real spacey vibe to it.

I'm going to guess Hugh Syme had nothing to do with this. I'll be buying because of the three live bonus tracks (from 1980 and 1981) and in spite of that cover. (I'll also be getting the Counterparts gold disc and the latest tribute album.)

Nice set list, but I really, Really, REALLY, *REALLY* hope they don't play "Limelight" at either Phoenix or Dallas shows. We've had "Limelight" on nearly EVERY live album/video since MP came out in 1981, and we've never had "Middletown Dreams" OR "The Body Electric" on ANY live album/video.
