Signals Tour Setlists: A | B | C | D

Key: Added | Dropped

  • This tour's setlist remained static on a regular basis, though it featured a few changes over the course of the tour. All substantial changes would occur during the European leg of the tour, which began on May 3. After the show on May 3 in Rotterdam, The Camera Eye and Chemistry were dropped for all German shows between May 6 and May 11. In the past it has been suggested that Countdown was dropped on every other German show, but this seems to only stem from cuts in recordings. In theory, the show that followed in Belgium on May 12 seems to be the same shortened setlist as the German shows, though since the recording appears incomplete, is a bit confusing and potentially edited, it is not 100% certain if the Belgium setlist may have featured The Camera Eye.
  • Following the shows in Germany and Belgium, The Camera Eye makes a return for all shows in the United Kingdom starting on May 14, though Chemistry remains permanently dropped. While the entirety of the Signals tour features a shortened version of The Camera Eye typically omitting the "London" section, starting with the second date in England on May 15, Geddy would instead sing the lyrics of the "London" section rather than the "New York" lyrics. This version of The Camera Eye is how it is performed for the remainder of the tour.
  • One other minor change occurred during the tour: the Count Floyd intro for The Weapon is not used during any shows that predate the three shows in Toronto on November 15-17. Prior to Toronto, Geddy seems to have regularly ad-libbed random Count Floyd lines during the beginning of the song. This implies that the proper filmed intro was planned for the start of the tour, but was not completed in time, so would not be added to the band's stage show until they were able to return to Toronto.
