Rush Concert?

People who saw the concert last night said it wasnt just awesome, but amazing. Even better than R30 apparently!

Neil had a new drum solo, the stage set up was completely new with chicken rotisserie machines replacing the classic dryers and lastly, that setlist was 100% true (except for the 'unidentified' song, which didn't exist).

Here's a video (with medicore quality sadly) from the concert shot last night. Being performed is 'Far Cry'.

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!

Partial Set List?

I was just looking over on rushisaband (A Rush dedicated fan site) and somebody has apparently heard the following songs being played in their entirety during rehearsals for the upcoming 'Snakes & Arrows' tour.

'Circumstances' (not a favourite, but no complaints)

'Entre Nous' (Sweet mother of God..Awesome)

'Witch Hunt' (One of my absolute favourite tunes! Awesome X2)

'A Passage To Bangkok' (I'm a little worried how Ged's vocals will stand up here..but I still can't wait!)

'Freewill' (Same thoughts as 'Circumstances')

'Natural Science' (As it's one of the best Rush tunes ever, how could anyone complain?!)

'Digital Man' (OMFG..Probably my all time favourite Rush tune!)

'Subdivisions' (always a pleasure to hear)

'Between the Wheels' (Yet another one of Rush's best tunes and while it was already played at 'R30', I've certainly got not complaints - Bring it on!)

'Mission' (Fkc yeah!)

Yearly classics like 'YYZ', 'Tom Sawyer' & 'The Spirit Of Radio' are also featured on the list.

The official set list will arrive on June 13th, so as of right now this list is 'un-official', but let me tell you, If there's any validity to this list I'll be heaven!!

While I won't be attending any shows this tour, I'll still mighty excited - especially with upcoming bootlegs and not to mention, the possibility of another concert DVD.

Only four more days to find out whether this list has any truth to it..
