Check this shit:

RUSH fan site RushIsABand.com has revealed a partial setlist from a source who has heard the band rehearsing in Toronto. The following songs were heard in their entirety:

Circumstances
Entre Nous
Witch Hunt
A Passage To Bangkok
Freewill
Natural Science
Digital Man
Subdivisions
Between The Wheels
YYZ
Tom Sawyer
Spirit Of Radio
Mission

Also played were about eight songs from the band's new album, "Snakes & Arrows", which has sold 160,000 copies in the United States since its May 1 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

RUSH's 18th studio album, "Snakes & Arrows", debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard album chart with sales of 93,000 copies. The disc is the first collection of all-new RUSH material since 2002's "Vapor Trails" and the 27th RUSH release to make the Billboard album chart. The band's chart peak was in 1993, when "Counterparts" debuted at No. 2.

=========================

Wow, if that`s what they`re playing then it`s a serious set shake up.

I wouldn't complain if they swap out Witch Hunt for Camera's Eye though...

That WOULD be pretty sweet. That's my fave track off of MP. Would totally dig hearing that live.

I wonder why they haven't brought CE out of the vault? They haven't played it since the Signals tour in '83 and it is definately a powerhouse on MP (my 2nd favorite barely behind Red Barchetta). One of the guys probably doesn't dig that song for whatever reason....prolly Neil.

8 from the new album seems a bit too much but I guess they get bored.

I used to hate finding out setlists beforehand but nowadays with a band like Rush I'll be checking them out so I can best schedule beer and piss breaks.:)

Pretty much standard for the course - 7 to 8 new songs. They always push the new stuff live. God (or in your case 'Darwin'?) I hope they play "Bravest Face". There's something in that song....

Nice - is it his first show? I saw my first one when I was 13 (signals). He's going to be moved by the experience for a loooooooong time to come.

Tour starts tomorrow - by the time it reaches us, they will be a well-oiled machine and they wont be burt out from being on the road extensively! :cool:

Just got back from the Atlanta opener, and all I can say is....


FUCKING WOW!!!


They are the tightest live band I have ever witnessed! All three are incredible and work together flawlessly as a single unit.

Pert continues to blow my mind...he is a fucking machine. Insane. His solo was all new!

Other highlights included video segments from Bob and Doug McKenzie, and the South Park gang (as 'Lil Rush) introducing Tom Sawyer.

Highly recommended show!!!

hmmm....the second set ended with Dreamline so maybe it was a song they rehearsed that didn't make it into the set list???

The Atlanta show is available for d/l in MP3 at Deep Purple Hub and Guitars101, btw. Great sounding booty and the band was obviously well-rehearsed (not your typical first show of the tour gig!). It is also being torrented with two different sources, each a respected taper.

I'm kicking off half a day today to see them in Charlotte and then again on Wednesday in Raleigh. I am so STOKED!!

Wish I would have known JJ was going to Atlanta. I wanted to travel for that gig but couldn't convince either of my three friends in the real world to go (self-depracating humor here). I bet Jimmy Jingles and I could have painted Beal Street bright red.

Yeah but they played Dreamline on the last tour too.

Actually I just don't like the Roll the Bones album at all.

I`m thinking that the set has changed so much as there will be another live CD/DVD after this tour (bring it on) and they don`t want to rehash too much.

"Dreamline" has appeared on the last three ("Different stages", "...Rio" and "R30") and I could live without another version of it.

"Tom Sawyer" or "YYZ" it ain`t.

I would have liked to hear "Where`s my thing?" or "Bravado".

At least they`ve dropped the song "Roll the bones".

Would have been good times I'm sure! It was a hell of a show, even though the pair of walking tits I was with had never even heard of them!

Oh well...maybe if VH w/Roth ever roll into town we can try it again.

Indeed! Now I know you don't really live under Lindsay Lohan's left titty.

The way out is the way in....the way out is the way -ay-ay in!

Oh they were HOT tonight!!

No rant from Alex but Ged brought a hand held camcorder on stage and made everyone in the audience say "Hello Canada" on a three count. Funny stuff. The band was on fire. Ged's voice sounds amazing this early in the tour!!

You're confused and incorrect.

They have played it on every tour since they recorded it.

This is the 6th tour in a row with it in the setlist.

As opposed to the 16th tour in a row for 2112...

All I'm saying is after 30 years, I think they might be a bit tired of it.

Seshmeister

The setlist for this tour is quite a bit more varied than recent tours; 9 of the 13 tracks from the new album are played live (performing this many songs in support of a new album has not been done since the Power Windows tour!), and "Entre Nous" is played live for the first time ever. In addition, many songs are back after a long rest ("Circumstances" [tuned down a full step], not heard since the Hemispheres tour; "Digital Man" [with a new arrangement, possibly abbreviated] since the Grace Under Pressure warm-up tour, "Witch Hunt" since the Power Windows tour, and "Mission" since the Presto tour). This is only the second tour to not include either "2112" or "La Villa Strangiato" in the setlist (the other time was the Counterparts tour), and it is also worthy to note that "Roll The Bones" is dropped for the first time ever. Keeping score on the songs played: only 5 songs are played from albums released between Moving Pictures and Vapor Trails (only 1 is from the 90's), and not including the drum solo, of the 27 songs played, 17 are from PeW, MP or S&A; that is roughly 2/3 of the concert. It also is worth mentioning that between the last three tours, Rush has played 6/7ths of Moving Pictures live; with the notable exception being the one song that tops the lists and petitions of live requests from fans: "The Camera Eye".


The dryers from the previous tours have been replaced by three rotisserie chicken roasters which are as tall as Alex's stacks of H&K amplifiers, and are believed to say "Hen House" across the front of them.
The opening video begins with a dream sequence of Snakes and Arrows images, then Alex sits up in bed, saying, "Snakes? Who would dream about snakes, that's so creepy. Honey? Honey - wake up. I had this weirdest dream, it was a snake..." then the person lying next to him sits up and its Neil. They look at each other and yell in surpise 'AHHHHHHHHHHH", then after another sequence, Geddy wakes up in a chair and says "What did they do to my food?" and then in walks an old man in a Scottish kilt who speaks with a Scottish accent who tells Geddy he doesn't care how he is feeling, to "...wipe that chicken off your face and get out there!" after which they which they all ran out. The guy in the Scottish costume is actually Geddy, dressed in make up and wig.
At the end of the show, another video of Scottish Geddy plays, where he tells people to go home because he wants to get back to eating his chicken.
The video intro for the second set is all Alex in rare, comical form, playing several characters on the Snakes and Arrows Leela board. The board shifts around the screen and highlights certain lines to which Alex pops up and executes typical Alex rants.
There is a video of Bob & Doug McKenzie to introduce The Larger Bowl.
The Larger Bowl had video snippets showing alternating images between the rich and the poor, etc. Towards the end you see iron gates on 2 screens, but as they focus in on the buildings behind them you see that one is a mansion and the other is a prison.
Workin' Them Angels had a video accompaniment similar to the album art of various types of workers and soldiers with angel wings.
There is a South Park video intro to Tom Sawyer; during the video, the South Park characters begin playing Tom Sawyer but Cartman sings the wrong lyrics, "I traveled down the river with a black guy", which leads to an argument about the lyrics revolving around one of them saying that he's actually read the book and that's how the story goes, but the other quickly corrects him saying "that was Huckleberry Finn". Cartman then says "I'm Geddy LEE and I can sing it however I want". They then agree to start again to "get it right" and count off the beginning where Rush takes over and plays.
During "A Passage To Bangkok", a video plays showing footage of far east trains, poppy fields, marijuana plants and many other scenes that relate to the song lyrics.
Alex plays a mandola mounted on an Omega stand during "Workin' Them Angels".
There are multiple "Barbie Doll" fans standing on stage in front of Alex Lifeson.
"Digital Man" may have been abbreviated, missing the first "He's got a force field" lyric.

I wasn't very happy with the setlist as I was seeing it.

Limelight is a GREAT opener, but then I didn't recognize the next three songs. I was like "what the fuck?" I don't own any albums between signals and roll the bones, although I admit I should pick up Signals. I'm sorry, but there were definitely too many songs from the new album. Just too many. I was in a very bad mood which may have hurt my enjoyment of the new stuff.

Between the Wheels was still reallly cool.


Since no one's asked, the new drum solo was great. Some good world music vibe before going back into the swing portion. It was short.

Obviously the highlight of the show was Passage to Bangkok, and following that with YYZ was a great finale. I never thought I'd ever see Bangkok. Maybe they listened to Jerry Stiller.

I was hoping for a full 2112, but they did that 9 years ago and I missed it.

Just a little EQ and volume boost and a cliiping fix during the explosion during Far Cry (which nearly scared me out of my skin!) ... no noise reduction.

Notes - This is my first Rush show taped... I think it turned out pretty darn good. Check it out!

I started recording the intermission but decided not to complete it due to all of the talkers nearby and...nature was calling. I must remember NO BEER the next time I tape Rush (which will most likely be in Pittsburgh on June 25). Regretably, I turned my recorder off just seconds before the ending video. Otherwise this is the complete show and no breaks except for a fadeout/in after Dreamline and the 2nd video (the intermission I cut out).

PLEASE!!! Do NOT encode this to MP3 to share. It really cheapens all the hard work I put into this.

I would like to thank Jack "Charley Brown" Walworth for assisting me with not getting caught by the gang at the SBD and as well as trying to keep some of the woo hoo'ers nearby a little quiet (as well as the clappers).

Just incredible.

Except Summertime Blues. WTF was that?

Hyman Roth
06-21-2007, 08:16 AM
It was the white man's Summertime Blues. Remember - their from Canada. They don't get the blues in the summer. They really don't 'get it'.

The band was flawless and having a great time. I sure hope recordings of the North Carolina shows turn up. Both shows were amazing and better than I have ever seen them before (and that was number 17 and 18 for me going back every tour since Signals). Ged's singing is especially fantastic. He nailed every note at the end of the Freewill solo section with a strength to his voice like a KiD - his voice didn't crack at all like it tends to do towards the middle of a tour. And he brings out the Rik for Bankok and YYZ.

Ellyllions
06-21-2007, 08:19 AM
He was having problems hearing his monitor on Limelight. But that seemed to get rectified before the open of the second song.

I was severely impressed by the amount of show they gave. Usually when you've got the humidity and then a smaller city venue bands will reflect that. But not this band. They really worked hard and put 100% into the show.

It put a lot of my favorite bands in perspective for me, I can say that...

Hyman Roth
06-21-2007, 08:23 AM
"...the amount of show they gave..."

Exactly...and those guys are pushing 60. Alex is a grandfather. Glad you enjoyed the show!!

Oh - I forgot to add...I think Ged was playing a Jaco signature fretless during "Malignant Narcissim" (sp??). That was cool and I think its a first.

Ellyllions
06-21-2007, 08:27 AM

I'd estimate about 12 grand at the show, the reserved section was pretty full...

7 new songs from Snakes and Arrows, which a ton of people of course used to hit the pisser....

The setlist posted was pretty much head-on, as I said before, disappointed there was no 2112....

Prices once again just keep going up.... 10 clams for a 24oz. beer.... 45 clams for a stinking T-shirt (which I passed)....

My son enjoyed himself, although he had to sprint back after taking a piss when Neal started his solo...

Funny bit as the South Park crew did a Tom Sawyer skit just prior to the song....

Overall, yeah, not the best Rush show I've seen (4th time for me), but they never disappoint....

Some key observations, without spoiling the show for those to come:

Geddy must have lost his dryers.

Rotisserie Chicken...yum. :D

Geddy's still using the same basses....a good thing. Phenomenal bass player.

Alex is using primarily Gibson guitars this time out. They sounded awesome. I really liked the ES-355. Alex is one of the most under-rated guitarists out there.

Neil's drum solo is a bit different this time out. He's still the best drummer in rock, IMHO.

The Main Monkey Business and Armor and Sword from S&A are done extremely well live.

The best band in rock, by FAR.

The Main Monkey Business is my fave song off the album at the moment. Trying to not look at too much of this stuff before they reach here in October.

It's very cool to see songs like Digital Man, Entre Nous, and Natural Science in the setlist.

I will definitely give them credit for playing a bunch of songs I hadn't heard them play before. Witch Hunt, Circumstances, Digital Man, BANGKOK. All the new instrumental stuff was also top notch as usual.

They somehow managed to finally pry Roll the Bones out of the setlist.

Jacobs Ladder would have been a cool subtitute for Natural Science. Then again NS is always a highlight.

I think they should have played all of 2112 if they wanted to surprise people with thesetlist. They've only done it once, unless I'm much mistaken (which I very well could be).

They played the bulk of 2112 from 76 to 80, I believe. After that it was the Overture and the Grand Finale mostly.

96 they played the whole thing including parts they hadn't played before.

I really wish I could see that whole thing live. It truly is a masterwork.

I love Soliloquy. Beautiful guitar work and an incredible solo.

Yea...listened to it today for the first time in quite a while. It really is amazing, and it would go down incredibly if they played the whole thing.

I like to see the whole show after I've paid my monies.

I saw them in Glasgow the other week. Great show as ever. They seemed a little tired and it's not the setlist I would have chosen but still amazing stuff.

The last 5 songs or so really make the gig.

I suspect they'll be a little tired...its getting to the end of the tour...and the setlist is a bit of a shake-up...but then...it's Rush live...so it's gotta be good.

I was there as well.

I thought "Natural science" was the real high spot.

"Entre Nous" was too slow, I thought.

It was fuckin` ace, though.

I was tired just watching them.:)

Where we were everyone stood for the whole show and I think we had at least 6 beers.

I was about 20 rows back dead centre and the sound quality was the best I can remember at a gig.

Nightmare getting home I think most of the taxi drivers in Glasgow were watching the football...

You must have been pretty near where I was.

I was about twenty rows back right in front of Geddy Lee.

I took the car and parked at Partick cross.

Got stuck in a big traffic jam on the way there.

It was worth it, though.

Just a few hours...haven't been so excited to see a gig for quite a while...

I just have to remember to set the video for Jezza & Co.

Apparently they're revisiting this tonight...but across the channel

I should imagine thats the main reason for carrying the tour on...in order to play the songs most people wanted to hear.

Personally, I loved the fact that they took such a risk...I loved the fact that Maiden played all of MOLAD last year too. Upmost respect for them for proving they're still relevant...but, now it's time for the classics.
