Setlists
This was obviously a very busy time for Rush. Just two weeks before the beginning of the tour, drummer John Rutsey left the band citing health concerns, and was replaced by Neil Peart on July 29th (Geddy's birthday). Not only did Neil learn the songs from the debut album, he also began writing new ones: "Best I Can" and "In The End" were first performed live less than one month after he joined the band! The setlists varied from show to show, as Rush honed their skills and performed possible songs for their second album.

Setlists
It wasn't until 1999 that an actual recording of this tour began circulating. Before this time, fraudulent recordings for Nov. 8 and a show in Dec. 1975 were circulated, which accordingly led to the circulation of false setlists (i.e. Nov. 8 and Dec. setlists listed elsewhere are very likely bogus). The only confirmed setlist is Rush's supporting set for KISS on Nov. 15, 1975. However, there is a rumored soundboard recording (in the possession of Geddy's cousin) of Rush headlining in Toronto, Jan. 10, 1976; as the date of this show and a reported setlist was provided in 1993 when Rush's early tourdates, including the Jan. 10, 1976 date, were still virutally unknown, I have included the setlist here.
"We called it the 'Down The Tubes Tour', we joked about it amoung ourselves. By the end of the that year we were unable to pay our crew's salaries - or our own." - Neil Peart, Classic Rock, Oct. 2004

Setlists
Only one unofficial recording of this tour is in circulation, thus only one setlist is available. It should be mentioned that the tracklist of All The World's A Stage is nearly identical to those performed in the known setlist, with "Fly By Night-Anthem-In The Mood" listed earlier in the show (after "Anthem", in place of "Lakeside Park"), possibly to conform to album sides.

Setlists
The setlist remained the same throughout this tour until "Circumstances" was dropped during the European leg of the tour. In addition, "Something for Nothing" and "Cygnus X-1" were dropped from the setlist during the Germany dates: they definately were not played during Rush's first ever performance in Germany, May 27, '79, and likely not the subsequent German dates. The Germany shows were similarly shorted during the Exit...Stage Left tour when "Hemispheres (Prelude)" and "Xanadu" were dropped, and during the Signals New World Tour when "Chemistry" and "The Camera Eye" were dropped. Possibly a shorter setlist is required in Germany due to time constraints, but that is unconfirmed.

Setlist
The setlist for this tour was virtually identical to the Moving Pictures tour, with the exception of adding an early version of "Subdivisions" while dropping "Natural Science". Although the setlist remained the same throughout most of this tour, "Hemispheres (Prelude)" and "Xanadu" were dropped from the setlist during the Germany dates. Precendent for shorter German shows was set during the Tour of the Hemsipheres when they dropped "Something for Nothing" and "Cygnus X-1", and it would later occur during the Signals New World Tour when "Chemistry" and "The Camera Eye" were dropped. Possibly a shorter setlist is required in Germany due to time constraints, but that is unconfirmed.

Setlists
This is the first time the "Three Stooges Theme" was used to open the shows; it would be used until the Presto tour and then return for one final time for Vapor Trails tour. For this tour, "The Camera Eye" was abbreviated such that only the "New York" or "London" section would be performed each night on a seemingly random basis. Although the setlist remained the same throughout most of this tour, "Chemistry" and "The Camera Eye" were dropped from the setlist during the Germany dates, and although "The Camera Eye" was brought back for later dates, "Chemistry" was dropped permanently. Precendent for shorter German shows was set during the Tour of the Hemsipheres when "Something for Nothing" and "Cygnus X-1" were dropped, and the Exit...Stage Left tour when "Hemispheres (Prelude)" and "Xanadu" were dropped. Possibly a shorter setlist is required in Germany due to time constraints, but that is unconfirmed. As demonstrated in numerous recordings, Rush had fun this tour, often changing the lyrics to some of the older songs such as "The Spirit of Baseball" and "The Plumbers of Syrinx" (with Lerxst adding additional vocals).

Setlist
Five consecutive nights at Radio City Music Hall to warm up for the recording of Grace Under Pressure. The setlist was similar to the Signals tour, with early versions of "Kid Gloves", "Red Sector A" and "The Body Electric" added while "The Camera Eye" and "Chemistry" were dropped (these same two songs were also dropped during the German dates of the Signals tour, neither song has been played since).
