Tonight is the Night!

Tonight is the night when Rush's 'Snakes & Arrows' tour kicks off!

It looks as if the entire (almost!) set list has been leaked. You can read the story of how the individual heard these particular songs and whatnot here. Now yet again, this list is not official, but I haven't any doubts considering another individual heard such songs being played in a past rehearsal (which I previously commented on)

The list is as follows:

Limelight
Digital Man
Entre Nous
Mission
Freewill
The Main Monkey Business
The Larger Bowl
Secret Touch
Circumstances
Between The Wheels
Dreamline
(unidentified song... there was a long silence after Dreamline so we went to find a restoom and refreshments, upon leaving the gas station we could hear SOMETHING, but couldnt make it out before it was over)

INTERMISSION

Far Cry
Workin' Them Angels
Armor and Sword
Spindrift
The Way The Wind Blows
Subdivisions
Natural Science
Witch Hunt
MalNar
Drum Solo
Hope
Summertime Blues (ugh!)
The Spirit of Radio
Tom Sawyer

ENCORE

One Little Victory
A Passage to Bangkok
YYZ

This is without a doubt the best set list in the last twenty five years. What is here is truly an unbelievable bunch of songs with only a three being played which I'm not fond of ('Summertimes Blues, 'FreeWill', 'Circumstances').

Other than that, I wanted to see at least one song from 'Power Windows'. Perhaps the "unidentified" song is from that album? One can only hope.

Disappointing in those regards (for myself anyways), but the fact that classics like 'Witch Hunt', 'Entre Nous', 'Mission' and 'Digital Man' make it on the list more than make up for it!
