Two shows down for Rush, 86 to go - starting with tonight's 3rd performance at the Kia Forum. Over the first 2 LA shows, Rush played a total of 32 different songs (33 if you count 2112 full vs. truncated). They've been saying for months now that they've rehearsed around 38 songs which means there's only 5 or 6 left for them to play. And there happens to be another setlist photo from Alex's guitar tech's console making the rounds that shows essentially ALL the tracks from the 1st 2 shows, plus another 5 that they haven't played yet. If you want to be spoiled, click on the thumbnail (above left) and check out what those 5 songs are. In addition to adding several new songs on Tuesday night, the band also flipped around the order of several other tracks that they'd played on opening night. The only tracks that were played in the same position on both nights are the Xanadu opener, the Bravado set 1 Neil tribute, the 2112 set 2 opener (although different versions), the Tom Sawyer set 2 closer, and the Working Man show closer. The set 2 Time Stand Still Neil Peart tribute was in slightly different spots each night, but that still seems to be a mainstay of the set - and it looks like Aimee Mann will be performing with the band for all the LA shows. So there's no telling what they have in store for us tonight and on Saturday. We'll probably hear at least a couple other songs that haven't been played yet, along with a sampling of tracks from the first 2 shows. If anyone is interested in checking out the tourbook, Eric at the Power Windows site has transcribed/the essay from Geddy Lee and made it available online here. If you want to score tickdts, there are still plenty available from resellers via both Ticketmaster and brokers. Follow along for updates, and have a blast if you are going to the show! RUSH!!!!!
