Test For Echo Tour Setlist Guide

[Grace :)]

Test For Echo Tour Setlists: A | B | C | D | E | F

Key: Alternating | Rare Alternating | Added | Dropped | Moved

• While all setlists follow the same structure, this tour briefly features two alternating setlists, and it would see a handful of changes as the tour progressed. The tour started off with a static setlist, however by the third show of the tour, Time And Motion was dropped from its original slot and moved up to alternate in the slot with Resist, to where each song would be played every other night. This did not last long however, as Time And Motion was permanently dropped after only eight overall performances, and the setlist once again became static, featuring only Resist.
• The setlist remained static during the entire 1997 leg of the tour, however The Big Money and Subdivisions have now been permanently dropped and replaced with Limelight and Stick It Out, though Stick It Out was played immediately following Limelight, rather than residing in the slot that Subdivisions previously occupied in the second set. To compensate for the apparent set length imbalance, Red Sector A has now been moved from the first set to the second set.
• A couple notable one-time setlist oddities occurred, as Resist was confirmed omitted in Las Vegas for reasons unknown, though is said the show was nearly cancelled due to Geddy having had a bad cold. The other notable one-time setlist oddity was the surprise Toronto blind date performance in December 1996, which featured a heavily abbreviated setlist.
