Apparently, there was around 44 songs on the initial list. But at 38 when Geddy suggested adding one more song (I think it might've been By-Tor), she apparently told them her hard drive was full. So they took one song out (strong assumption it was The Big Money) exchanging it for By-Tor. At...

? = A Farewell To Kings Speaking of that album... Tomorrow should be the long awaited return of the title track from that one. After donkeys years.

Possibly the best audio from the shows so far. Anika's snare sound is amazing. It just cuts through. Ol' Aleksandar with quite a few oopsies.

Oh boy, was I wrong about setlist "Gamma". This now looks like potentially full Moving Pictures in set 2.

Ged after playing the whole of 2112: "That was one of our pop hits..." (at 21 minutes and 12 seconds) :applause:

Full list of songs for the tour leaked: It is legit as the names of the guitars appear on the truss rod covers (for example "Deke" is the main black LP Axcess, "Heavy Bastard" is the doubleneck, "Kirk" is the Greeny reissue, "Tom" is a Tom Murphy 60's aged LP Standard etc...)...

Those points raise a very valid question, IMO. Does the reporter even understand english?

Still, Simon from the pub > Dannish tennis player. (as a drummer)

That's where arguments between members usually start. So probably not a good idea for band's longitevity.

Well, it's complicated as they did 2112 in its entirety, which was completely unexpected. If they are counting 2112 as 1 song, there should be 7 songs left to make their tour debut. If they count the 2112 parts as songs, there should be no more tour debuts. But, I think they count it as one...

True, but some songs are much better this year drumming-wise. Murders and 2MTM are the first ones that come to mind. I mean, the mentality of "Let's get Steve's drummer and do the usual 3 weeks of rehearsing and fuck it." last year wasn't the right one. I think that this is clear now. At least...

Exactly. They were rehearsing for a year and apparently it wasn't going great during the first few rehearsals. Also, I'd say Simon is doing better this year, which leads me to believe that they were under-rehearsed last year. I mean, some songs were good (like Rime), but some songs were not so...

Complete "Beta" setlist: 1. Xanadu 2. The Spirit of Radio 3. The Analog Kid 4. Freewill 5. Subdivisions 6. Bravado 7. Leave That Thing Alone 8. The Trees 9. Headlong Flight 10. Limelight Intermission 11. 2112 (FULL!) 12. Animate 13. Closer To The Heart 14. A Passage to Bangkok 15. Time Stand...

Ok, setlist "Beta" shits all over setlist "Alpha".

Playing full 2112 tonight. I haven't seen a band doing 2 different versions of the same song on the same tour lol.

Set 1, Beta setlist: 1. Xanadu 2. The Spirit of Radio 3. The Analog Kid 4. Freewill 5. Subdivisions 6. Bravado 7. Leave That Thing Alone 8. The Trees 9. Headlong Flight 10. Limelight I'd say, minus "La Villa", this one is a stronger one than set Alpha.

They had insider info. Anika played with Jeff Beck. John "Skully" McIntosh was Geddy's long time bass tech and overall right hand man (vintage bass buying buddy), who took the gig of being Jeff's guitar tech after Rush was done (and later, Joe Satriani's after Jeff's passing). Skully got to know...

I think Malignant Narcissism could be used to compensate for the length of the shows if a specific version of setlist is a few minutes shorter and it gives Geddy a short vocal break. Tonight is the beta setlist day. Let's see what it brings.
