Clockwork Angels tour set list
Rush played 25 songs, including two encores. In the first half, the band focused heavily on the 1980s and early 1990s, pulling songs from Signals (1982), Grace Under Pressure (1984), Power Windows (1985), and Roll the Bones (1991). In the second half, they focused on Clockwork Angels, playing nine of the 12 pieces. Additional pieces from the 1980s and early 1990s were thrown in for good measure. (To see how Rush changed up its set list on the second stop of its tour, click here.)

The two biggest surprises are probably “Territories” and “Manhattan Project” from Power Windows. The others, with the obvious exception of the Clockwork Angels pieces, have pretty much been in the band’s rotation since the R30 tour.
For the encore, the band played two of its popular radio standards.

Great piece. Maybe they’ll roll it out later in the tour. They’ve tweaked their play list in the past.

Actually, they ended up playing “Seven Cities of Gold” at the second show, in the D.C. area, Sept.9. They swapped out “Carnies” and put in “Seven Cities of Gold” in its place, so it looks like they’re going to rotate the songs.
