Rush Plays 2112 in Full for 1st Time in 3 Decades – Watch Now
Canadian rock legends Rush delivered a historic performance on Saturday, playing their iconic concept album, 2112, in its entirety for the first time in nearly 30 years. A multi-camera video of the performance is now available online, offering fans a unique opportunity to experience this landmark moment.
The performance took place as part of Rush's Power Windows tour in 1984, but the full album was not played in its entirety during any of the tour’s shows. The band has rarely performed the full 2112 suite live, making this recent release a significant event for devoted fans.
The availability of this multi-camera video provides a much richer viewing experience than previously existing recordings. The video captures the energy of the live performance and offers multiple perspectives of the band as they navigate the complex and ambitious composition. The album, released in 1976, is considered a cornerstone of progressive rock and remains a fan favorite.
Rush, comprised of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart, achieved international acclaim throughout their career, known for their musicianship, complex arrangements, and thought-provoking lyrics. Neil Peart’s passing in 2020 marked the end of an era for the band, further amplifying the significance of this rediscovered performance. The video is generating considerable excitement within the music community, as fans celebrate this rare glimpse into Rush's history and their enduring legacy.
