The changed-up setlist featured tour debuts for The Pass (originally from 1989\u2019s Presto) and The Anarchist (from 2012\u2019s Clockwork Angels). The band also opened the show with 1978\u2019s Xanadu<\/a> for only the second time ever \u2013 the first time being the opening night of the Fifty Something tour. They also played 2112\u2019s 20-minute title track in full<\/a> once again and welcomed Aimee Mann to the stage once more for Time Stand Still.<\/p>\n
