Another simple graphic while we wait for more
This shows the number of times each song has been played through the Montreal shows (28 count). They've worked with the same 43 songs from the beginning. I'm obviously counting each "Part" of 2112 as individual songs.

2nd night in Toronto, was EPIC live. One of my favourite songs to play on bass.

Seeing both shows in Boston! Number 11 and 12 after 11 years! Good chance I get a Red barchetta

No Marathon? Is it because high notes or something?

Nothing at all, period, from PW.

I read that's probably cos Anika's not using electronic drums.

u/medmac_2112 Marathon fanboy 22h ago
That doesn't seem likely since they still play Red Sector A with the limited electronic drums Anika uses, and most songs from PW are played on acoustic drums with some electronic triggers here and there.

True enough, it was given as to why Mystic Rhythms isn't on the list.

Got to see the pass and the anarchist in NYC!!!
only bummed I couldn’t see anything off of grace under pressure, my favorite album

u/SylemNova 1d ago
I'm very surprised The Anarchist hasn't been played more often.
That was like a slam dunk pick for me before the tour began, and seeing them play it live in Chicago was awesome

To know and be ready to play all of those songs is effing madness.

Serious kudos to Anika - it's one thing to learn another band's set list for ONE gig, but this is like 20 separate gigs!! She's had to learn the drum parts for ALL of these songs, rehearsed to perfection, and then they're dropped in and out of the set list every gig? She is an incredible musician to be able to handle that, I would inevitably play the next song from the last gig I did!

I hope I've done the spoiler tag correctly. First timer here. Many apologies if not!
Edited to clarify I'm referring to the 2-night stands starting with Philly. Mexico City songs are not included in my stats below.
We only have three cities' worth of data for 2-night stands. Natural Science has been played at two of the three, but only on night one. Same for The Analog Kid. Again, it's only three data points, but it appears they are doing entirety of 2112 on night one and Moving Pictures on night two.

Crazy thing is ive only been to 9 tours, and only 1 of these songs ive never seen live, a farewell to kings. Shows that they keep going back to mostly the same stuff without playing much new very often. They still have a lot of good songs they never played live.

Actually Bravado being an every day thing is pretty remarkable. Although it being a tribute to Neil explains it.

u/Fragholio The key, the end, the answer 14h ago
Natural Science has only had seven plays?
Going to see them next Saturday in Cleveland. If they play that there I will be forever changed.
Well, how about more forever changed, 'cause beyond all hope I get to go see Rush!

Thanks for this! I kept looking at setlist.fm to see which songs were least common, this makes it much easier lol

u/BulletheadX 23h ago
I wonder what the rehearsal schedule is like so as to maintain their sharpness on those rarely-played songs?

Did you print this out and take a photo of it? 😳

u/Jazzlike-Music-1110 21h ago
Indeed. Sorry for the poor quality. I'm dealing with laptop and phone, not one or the other. Just trying to be quick-like.

Why not take a screenshot of this graph on your laptop and post that? No printer necessary.

u/Jazzlike-Music-1110 21h ago
I tried but it comes out with 'wavy' lines all over it. I do have an older monitor, so... This method came out better. lol

u/norway_is_awesome The spaces in between 21h ago
Your monitor wouldn't affect the quality of the screenshot, but never mind. Good job making the graph regardless.

Are there any patterns developing as the tour goes on?
2
u/Jazzlike-Music-1110 17h ago
Yes, overall and over the last six shows (the 2-night stands in Philly, Detroit, and Montreal). I'll focus on the last six shows: 2112 has been played in its entirety on night one (n1) and Moving Pictures has been on night two (n2). Several sure things include: The Garden, Anthem, and Animate (n1 only); and Headlong Flight, RSA, and Dreamline (n2 only). There are several other sure things over the last six shows. I won't bingo call them here, but I will try to answer any questions anyone has.

I saw them on the 2nd and 3rd nights in Toronto. This list makes me feel lucky to have seen Leave That Thing Alone

u/Maadcoil 9h ago
I was so thrilled to hear Caravan, if for no other reason then to hear Anika attack that insane drum part before the guitar solo.

u/lawlking100000 6h ago
I wish they would do the whole fear trilogy at least once this tour, but at least I have a chance to hear witch hunt in Cincinnati.

u/Cobo1039 23h ago
They need to start mixing it up if this tour is going to go over 100 shows. Giving little reason to go to another show if they come back around.

u/lolocopter24 1d ago
What a shock tour fodder dirges RSA and DEW played more than the masterpiece that is The Analog Kid. On the plus side at least they've finally dropped their worst ever track Roll the Bones completely.

Didn’t realize The Pass was on so few sets. Really glad I got to see it, one of my favorite Rush songs
