New Rush news- W-w-WAIT a minute! :)

[Mikhael]

Yeah, Ged would have a very tough time pulling off most anything from the first five or so albums. Unfortunate, since the fans would love to hear some of that material.

[arise_shine]

I'd be SO into a "Deep Cuts Tour". There's at least a set (half a show) full of great Rush songs from the 80's-00's never played like:

OPEN SECRETS
AVAILABLE LIGHT
HERESY
TOTEM
ALIEN SHORE
CHAIN LIGHTING
LOSING IT
DIFFERENT STRINGS

Oohhh, I like that setlist. So many underrated random album tracks. Let's throw in some "Sweet Miracle" and "The Big Wheel" and "Speed of Love," too. \m/

Jacobs
Ladder

with Camera Eye now out of the way I'm sure that Jacob's Ladder will top every fan list/poll, followed by The Necromancer

[BravadoNJ]

doesn't Alex give this speech every few years and so?
another tour, another DVD.

Don't care for it, myself. The only song on that album that does nothing for me. Would rather have Entre Nous...

[bRETT]

Time and Motion

I think they found this one especially tough to play, since it was dropped early in the Test for Echo tour. I think it's the best song on that album.

[Finch Platte]

Rush needs to release 3 solo discs, a la Kiss.

I'm totally with you on FREEZE but ARMOR AND SWORD and FAITHLESS were played on S&A and Time Machine Tours

Didn't they talk about doing that like 30 years ago?

love that song and it is the best on the LP for sure, followed by Color of Right, Half and Driven

there is at least one great soundboard boot of Time and Motion (Albany 1996.10.18); played for less than a month and then dropped. interesting placement in that it was 4 songs from the end of the closing second set

I'm totally with you on FREEZE but ARMOR AND SWORD and FAITHLESS were played on S&A and Time Machine Tours

oh yeah, I just want to see them again!


I wonder if they have the patience to roll out the entire Fear sequence. The Weapon is a bit of a mood piece and I could see them "being bored" with it. then again Geddy always was quoted as saying the same about the Camera Eye and that ended up being a favorite part of the Time Machine set


------


the real money is in what they pull out from the 74-80 era. I would bet that they def bring back Natural Science for it's third comeback, maybe a By-Tor/Xanadu/Hemispheres prelude


stuff like Necromancer requires Ged to play guitar which I'm not sure he'd be up for again. last time he wore a double neck was Moving Pictures tour I believe

[arise_shine]

Not to mention that Necromancer is just a terrible song. I'd (seriously) rather hear "I Think I'm Going Bald" live.

At this point, I'd be surprised if they pulled out many (if any) of the "screaming banshee" songs. As much as I'd love to hear "Hemispheres" live, I think that ship sailed 10-15 years ago. I mean, Geddy can barely handle "Tom Sawyer" or "Limelight" anymore.

[Progatron]

Don't care for it, myself. The only song on that album that does nothing for me.

Now that's one I don't hear often! "Jacob's Ladder" is a nice, moody piece IMO. I've never been wild about the lyrics though.

I think they found this one especially tough to play, since it was dropped early in the Test for Echo tour. I think it's the best song on that album.

And from helix's same list of songs above, "Turn The Page" was another one that Geddy in particular found very challenging to pull off live (although they did keep it for that whole massive tour if I recall... it made it to the live album too). "Time And Motion" is a great song, I agree.

The Weapon is a bit of a mood piece and I could see them "being bored" with it.

My favourite track from Signals. They used to use Joe Flaherty doing Count Floyd from SCTV as the intro.

[ronmac]

I think they should tour with an orchestra and perform 1940s pop standards.
