ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I haven't got the album 2112 but i've got the song and i love it, it's all i've been listening to lately, that and La Villa Strangiato. I might go and see them when they come to Manchester in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 im not really one to say it, seeing as i didnt go to R30, but apparently this tour is shitloads better.Really??It's the exact opposite for me.The R30 tour had a much wider range of material.They dug into the well far deeper and pulled out some amazing tunes from the 70's era.R30 was massively cool.This tour is really good,but the show I saw last week didn't have the same energy level.It seemed to be a bit more of...uh....one of their yuppie-era tours. (if you know what I mean by that)It struck me as rather "paced".My friends said the same thing as I did afterward,the Snakes and Arrows material was boring live (with the exception being Far Cry).Neil's solo on this tour is superb!!!But all in all....I enjoyed R30 tons more!

Zeppelin Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 2112 is amazing, and so is Snakes & Arrows for that matter.Rush have always been able to pull off 2112 flawlessly live, whether it's on All The World's A Stage or Different Stages. They do play a bit of 80s material on the new tour, but since I love 80s Rush, I'm fine with it. The intro to Subdivisions shook the whole arena, sheesh. I'm just in love with 80s Rush, and they played some of my favourite 80s songs during the show I went to. Songs like Witch Hunt, Digital Man, Subdivisions, Between the Wheels, etc. Completely underrated Rush songs, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 IMHO, 2112 is a great album, but the song is just the best thing ever recorded.That being said, I was completely sad they didn't play even the Overture on the S&A tour. There was a serious lack of 70's material, but it was a great concert nontheless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetness Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) Really cool album, but I always found the whole story to be odd and kinda dorky to be honest. Its just like.... are you guys fucking serious? meh...But with that said I love it, and Rush put on one of the best shows Ive ever seen this summer despite the setlist being mostly Snakes and Arrows. Cant blame em though, that album rocks and theres no way they'd be able to play all of their classics in one night, there are so many! The could have done Working Man though, that was definetly missed... Edited September 19, 2007 by sweetness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I mind too much as I do love the new album, but a few of the older tracks thrown in there for god measure would still be nice! Not sure how true it is that they're playing for a shorter time; anyone vouch for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axl rocked alpine in 91 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 i saw rush sept 7 in milwaukee we were treated to close to 3 hours of pure musical excellence!! I could only summize as satisfaction from a performance well done, Set 1: Entre Nous, Freewill ,Secret Touch, Circumstances, & the Larger Bowl Set 2: I have absolutely no doubt that the material from Snakes & Arrows not only delivers on CD, but live it is taken to a whole higher level. It was powerful, moving, and beautifully magic. Armor & Sword was a higlight. Neil really excels on this album. Natural Science, Witch Hunt, & Malnar - what a consecutive trio that was. Neil's solo - what else can you say, but holy you know what. From my vantage point dead center in row 25, it is funny to see how everyone's cell phone cameras were lit up capturing the moments!! The Spirit of Radio was intense. The trio of encores was as lound and thunderous as I have ever heard. Alex & Geddy were all over the stage playing to opposite ends of the venue. Great show, great crowd, great visuals, great weather, . I'll never get tired of this. Thank you Alex, Geddy, Neil, and the entire crew for special memories. As long as the fire still burns, please keep recording & touring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
