RUSH - Partial Snakes & Arrows Tour Setlist Revealed

Posted on Saturday, June 09, 2007 at 14:22:14 EST

RUSH fansite RushIsABand.com has posted 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 heard/played were about eight songs from Snakes & Arrows.

AND the drum solo by Neil is going to hit a new level of innovation and inspiration. Can't say yet what it will be, but any fans of phenomenal drumming, or even mild interest in a damn good drum solo are going to have their heads blown. This show is an absolute MUST!

 

[Pellaz]

As I recall, the first date is in Atlanta, so I'd expect them to be practicing here on Tuesday at the latest. They usually practice in an arena/amphitheater setting before the first date of any tour. At one time, they booked their first tour date in a B-market city (Pensacola, anyone?) to make it easier.

Can't have a Rush concert without Neil banging away on the drums on one of his famous drum solos!

June 23rd can't come soon enough! (the date they play Nissan Pavilion near Washington, DC)

 

[Megametal]

This is going to be my first time seeing them live and I just know its gonna be awesome. Its even on a Saturday night!! (6/16 Tampa).

 

[Burke]

Friday night, baby....


MAN - if they play WITCHHUNT I'm gonna shit - that would be sweet!

 

[Pellaz]

Maybe they'll play all of "Fear."

As I expected, my spies inform me that Rush is here now. Apparently they did some practicing today, and will do some more tomorrow.

 

[AMBR]

A lot of new stuff in the set list is the rumor. Look for at least one never played live. along with a few they haven't played in awhile. Don't expext a repeat of the last tour which was a "re-visited" thing. This will be Rush at their innovative best.

Knowing they have a FULL day after the kickoff show and before the second show here in West Palm, I am wondering where Neil will be riding to on Thursday.

 

[Force10]

I'm very psyched - would love to hear Circumstances and Entre Nous...

Yea, he's doing the whole thing by motorcycle again. Pretty wild. I gotta get that book he wrote about doing it in the US and Europe for that last tour.

YES - ROADSHOW is a great read for sure!

Its one of those silly things that knowing he (and his riding partners) would be tooling around locally, makes think about taking the day off and just hang around the local area of the venue for his eventual ride in....

But knowing that that kind of stuff really turns him off, the idea dies pretty quick.

Just hope he's safe out there - in Roadshow he talks about the fact that with ALL the places in the entire world he has ridden, south florida drivers scare him the most.

Well, many times I'd have to agree with him

 

[TheLongshot]

You know, it is really killing me that I'm missing the show in two weeks. This doesn't help.

[SharkBlack]

Nice!!

 

[Burke]

Eager for the first report from Atlanta tomorrow from the show tonight

Sat morn I'll try and get a review up asap.

(listening to 'We Hold On' at work right now )

 

[Formerly known as Chris F5]

Cant wait till the 16th!!
I'd like to hear Didacts and Narpits!!!

I wish I could have gone to the ATL show, but maybe next tour, right? I saw them way back on the RTB tour with Mr. Big opening.
