It could very well be little more than speculation and fans trying to wish a two-thirds Rush tour into existence.Released as CD and DVD-Video/Audio. There are rumors that Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson might do some sort of project with another drummer, using a name other than Rush, but they haven’t said a single public word about that. Rush’s 1976 rock opera epic, 2112, was the first of what would be a slew of albums, A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures, that would define the band both as meticulous and technically proficient musicians as well as a versatile band that can move and change with the times. They said farewell with a brief 2015 tour and have been completely inactive since. The group spent much of the next thirteen years touring and recording, but in 2015 Peart announced that his body simply couldn’t handle the rigors of playing live. Nobody knew if Rush would ever play again, but by 2002 he was finally able to return to music. The unbearable tragedies caused Peart to put his drums aside and go on a lengthy, cross-continent motorcycle journey that he eventually chronicled in his book Ghost Rider. The following summer, his wife Jacqueline died of cancer. Less than two months after it wrapped, drummer Neil Peart’s 19-year-old daughter Selena, his only child, died in a car accident. Nobody knew it at the time, but the end of Test for Echo tour marked the beginning of a very difficult time for Rush. Rush - 2112 1976 Radio Ad farfig, Rush - 1976 - 2112 (Full Album). Meet the Creators and Activists Leading Social Media's Next Wave It was one of the final stops of the long tour. Here’s pro-shot video of them doing it at Toronto’s Molson Ampitheater on June 30th, 1997. The first set of every show that tour wrapped up with the complete “2112” suite, all 21 minutes of the thing. The only exception came on the 1996/97 Test for Echo tour. They’ve condensed it a bunch of different ways over the years, but even on the original 2112 tour in 1976 they’d leave out segments like “Part V: Oracle: The Dream” to save time. When their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction set was limited to three songs, they made sure one of them was the opening of “2112.”īut the song is divided into seven segments that take up the entire first side of the vinyl record.

Even on the 2012/2013 Clockworks Angels tour where there wasn’t a single 1970s song in the main set, they still made sure to wrap up most nights with the opening segments of “2112.” Doing otherwise would probably caused an audience revolt. Futuristic sci-fi imagery, virtuoso technique, absolutely killer rock riffs it all came together on Rushs 1976 concept album 2112. There’s nothing in the Rush catalog that’s been played live more than the first two parts of their 1976 masterpiece “2112.” They’ve been the highlight of nearly every Rush show since the album came out, surfacing more than 1,300 times onstage.
