Let's have a little fun here, and see what we come up with.
You work as a mid-level staffer for NBC Entertainment, assigned to Saturday Night Live. One day you get a call from Don Roy King, the director of SNL, saying that in two weeks time the musical guest stars for that episode will be Rush. They'll be playing two songs in two different time slots. Your job will be to tell them what songs to play, and they've agreed to that, thinking it could be a fun challenge, so long as it's their songs. Also, because of time constraints they can't be epics of the 2112/Hemispheres kind. The song for the first slot has to be well-known, the other has to be from left-field. My choices would be:
Well-known - Spirit Of Radio
Left-Field - Color Of Right
What would your choices be?

So it sounds like Tom Sawyer or Limelight for one song and either Caravan or BU2B from the new album. In my fantasy they would five songs like Paul McCartney did a few months ago...and then I would throw in Working Man and maybe Circumstances. And Freewill of course to make peoples' heads explode.
