Rush

Let’s take a journey back to 2004, a milestone year for Rush as they celebrated their 30th anniversary with the R30 Tour. Just before this live recording at the Festhalle in Frankfurt, the band had released *Vapor Trails* in 2002, their first studio album after a lengthy hiatus, which marked a raw, powerful return to form. The energy during the R30 Tour was infectious, and fans were treated to a killer setlist featuring classics like “Xanadu,” a song reflecting their progressive rock mastery and lyrical depth drawn from Coleridge’s famous poem. Interestingly, the R30 live album, released a few years later, not only showcased their iconic sound but also emphasized their connection with fans worldwide. By the time of this recording, the band had honed their craft over decades, exuding confidence and camaraderie that resonated deeply—reminding listeners why Rush is more than just a band; they’re an experience.
