I will say this though. Lately it's been Clockwork Angels (the album) and everything else.

The Anarchist (first full song I transcribed for guitar!)

jjrock88 · « **Reply #215 on:** September 26, 2012, 11:01:30 PM »

Awesome show tonight. The new songs went over very well. You could tell that the casual fans wanted more "hits", but too bad.

Cedar redaC · « **Reply #220 on:** October 04, 2012, 07:38:06 AM »

Voted for Rush, but Deep Purple should be in there as well.

Orbert · « **Reply #221 on:** October 04, 2012, 08:33:09 AM »

I voted for Rush, Deep Purple, and Heart. All three had a huge influence on Rock and Roll over the years, in different ways.

5. Caravan
6. Halo Effect
7. Seven Cities of Gold
8. The Wreckers
9. Wish Them Well
10. BU2B

But really they're all good.

Picked up Neil's Taking Center Stage DVD today. Oh my..it's a drumming overload!

What a feast of holy goodness!

splent · « **Reply #226 on:** October 04, 2012, 07:20:22 PM »

Have to listen to them more, but The Garden is def number 1. Best Rush song in a LONG time. So unlike anything they've done since the synth era.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #227 on:** October 04, 2012, 09:34:28 PM »

I've loved Clockwork Angels from day 1. But after hearing the majority of the songs live, I enjoy them even more. I would imagine they will release another live DVD/CD in the near future; this one I am really look forward to. Rush is in the lead in that RNR voting too.

ytserush · « **Reply #228 on:** October 04, 2012, 10:18:05 PM »

I didn't vote.

I'm happy for them and the fans that really wanted to see it happen, but they've already gotten more important accolades as far as I'm concerned than this.

I'm sure Cliff Bernstein, who was recently named to the board and can vote had quite a bit to do with it

King Postwhore · « **Reply #229 on:** October 05, 2012, 07:20:57 AM »

I think it's a PC move by the Hall. There has been such an outcry about Rush being screwed and how Rush seems to found the Limelight (pun intended) again that they had to at least nominate them.

NIGHTMARE IN BRIDGEPORT!!!

Trying to get into last nights Rush show was one of the worst experiences I have ever encountered. I live 10 minutes from the venue so I hoped in my car at 6:25 to head over. Show start time was 7:30.
We made it to the exit ramp by 6:35. Plenty of time to get in right?

HELL NO! NOT EVEN CLOSE! The traffic is a standstill and you would literally go minutes without moving a cars length. It is about a half mile from the ramp into a parking garage but it mind as well have been 60 miles. I could have made the hour long ride to Mohegan Sun and been there in less time! The time ticks away. 6:35 turned into 6:50. 6:50 turned into 7:00.

We were barely getting anywhere. By probably 7:10 a reality was setting in would would not even be in our seats by the 7:30 showtime. I was losing my mind. Cars from all directions trying to make it on to the main strip with the garages. The frustration mounted as hundreds of cars started laying on the horns and shouting out there car windows.

People were getting out of there vehicles and peeing in bushes along the side of the highway. The time continued to tick away. 7:10 quickly turned to 7:30 and still we sat in hopeless gridlock. We inched our way forward as the honking of car horns remained a symphony in the background. Finally at approximated 7:50 we found ourselves parked in a garage and we hurried towards the venue.

When we got in the building we heard Rush playing and we still had to hit the rest room before going to our seats. In the rest room we were informed this was the first song of the night. That was good news. Perhaps the band caught wind of the chaos that was taking place outside and delayed as long as they could. In the end Rush put on there typical great show but the night was marred by the nightmare outside. Never am I ever going back to this venue. Its amazing they don't have a handle on how to efficiently get people into the venue. A nightmare to remember!

Orbert · « **Reply #234 on:** October 11, 2012, 06:59:46 AM »

Sound like a crappy way to start the evening, but at least you didn't miss much.

ColdFireYYZ · « **Reply #235 on:** October 11, 2012, 05:33:58 PM »

The show last night was awesome! The traffic sucked but luckily I was being dropped off so I was able to get out of the car and walk to the venue once it was within reasonable distance. The setlist was even better live than I expected, and I'm glad that I got to hear Bravado (I love The Pass but I like Bravado a little more). The new stuff sounded fantastic live, especially the title track, The Anarchist, and The Garden. I really loved the string section, which I was a little leery about at first. A lot of people have been saying that the crowd reaction to the 80s stuff has been lukewarm but the people around me seemed really into it. Though the guy behind me was pretty disappointed that they didn't play Working Man. He was convinced that they'd come back and play it after the closing video for a second encore. My only (minor) complain was the opening/closing videos. They weren't funny at all, imo. Otherwise, it was an excellent show.

Have Fun! Should be awesome...

I thought about heading down tonight to see what I could scrape up, but I've already decided to save for the Spring.

I'll get an A and a B show if they stick to the format on this leg. Can't ask for much for than that.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #237 on:** October 12, 2012, 09:24:30 PM »

Just got back from the Philly show and it was incredible. The set was solid and the guys were on fire. Alex really tore it up with his solos. I was blown away. Geddy also sounded pretty damn good, and pushed his voice more than I was expecting him too, and Neil's Synth solo was incredible.

The CA material was excellent live. It worked so damn well and surprisingly the crowd was singing along and they were pretty into it. They ate up Carnies and Headlong flight (and so did I).

I was kinda hoping they would do Losing It, since they had a string section available, but besides that one minor nit pick it was still a great show.

countoftuscany42 · « **Reply #238 on:** October 12, 2012, 10:16:08 PM »

^ same, just got back from the show. AMAZING. hard to say which show i prefer between this and time machine. TM had an amazing setlist, but Geddy just sounds so great this tour, and the string ensemble made the CA material sound even more epic. Headlong Flight was definitely a standout, and people lost it when they started YYZ, spirit, ts, and 2112. a very memorable evening, thanks you rush for bringing your music to this world \m/

Nick · « **Reply #239 on:** October 13, 2012, 10:53:46 AM »

I had a great time in Philly of course, and loved the stuff I didn't get in Manchester (Middletown, The Pass, Dreamline, and 2112), but more importantly the gf loved the show, so there is yet another person I can add to my entourage for future tours.
