Fifty Something Tour Setlist Guide

Fifty Something Tour Setlists: A | B | C | D | C2 | B2 | D2 | A2 | B3 | D3 | D4 | B4 | C3 | B5 | B6

Key: Rotating | Rare Rotating | Swapped | Moved

• This tour features four core setlists (A/B/C/D) which all heavily differ from each other in arrangement and content, and rotate night to night. It marks the most drastic differences between setlists within a single tour since 1974.
• There are further variant setlists (C2/B2/D2/A2/B3/D3/etc) of the four core setlists that swap out several songs for others, more akin to how Rush would typically treat alternating/rotating setlists during previous tours.
• These setlists make for a more complex web of differences to map out for this tour:
  • Songs identified as rotating mean they do not appear across all setlists. Songs identified as rare rotating mean they are performed more infrequently. (Song rarity is subject to change as the tour progresses.)
  • Songs with an asterisk denoting swapped songs in a variant setlist (C2/B2/D2/A2/B3/etc) mean they were NOT played in the core setlist variant.
  • Songs with an asterisk denoting moved songs in a variant setlist (D2/D3/etc) mean they were played in a different position compared to the core setlist variant.
  • Since the core setlists (A/B/C/D) all drastically differ from each other and don't follow the same structure, we can't realistically map out swapped and moved songs between core setlists, only songs that rotate.
• It's worth noting that the band used internal codenames for the first seven setlists: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, and Gorgo, and despite the latter few being variants of the first four, they stopped continuing the alphabet for further variants. So rather than giving names starting with H and I, they instead moved forward with Alpha and Bravo again, creating a confusing inconsistency. To keep this guide orderly, we are going with the most cohesive naming system.
• While the intro video on this tour was immediately dubbed "Where's Rush?" by some attendees of the first few concerts, the official tour book names this video as "Xanadudes".
• The outro video on this tour is a continuation of the intro video, and while attendees initially dubbed it as a third "tribute" segment, the tour book only specifies two "tribute" segments.
• There are a handful of noteworthy setlist inclusions on this tour. It is the first time all seven parts of 2112 have been played since July 1997, the first time all twelve parts of La Villa Strangiato (including part I) have been played since April 1982, the first time A Farewell To Kings has been played at all since May 1979, and the first time Finding My Way has been played in full outside of a medley since March 1976. It also marks the first time Anthem has been played in full outside of a medley since May 1978, which only made a slightly-condensed comeback in 2015.
• Additionally, it marks several other rarer returns, as prior to this tour: New World Man only made a comeback in 2002 (since April 1986), By-Tor only made a comeback in 2002 and 2004 (since April 1982), A Passage To Bangkok only made a comeback in 2007-08 (outside a medley, since October 1980), Witch Hunt only made a comeback in 2007-08 and 2010-11 (since May 1986), Time Stand Still only made a comeback in 2010-11 (since May 1994), The Analog Kid only made a comeback in 1992/94 and 2012-13 (since September 1983), The Pass only made a comeback in 2002 and 2012-2013 (since May 1992), and The Camera Eye only made a comeback in 2010-11 and 2015 (since May 1983).
