Rush Live Concert: Down By The Water - Full Concert at Jones Beach Amphitheater

Venue: Tommy Hilfiger at Jones Beach Theater Location: Wantagh, New York, United States Date: July 15, 2002

In July 2002, during Rush's performance at the Jones Beach Amphitheater, the band was riding high on the success of their studio album "Vapor Trails," which had launched earlier that same year. This marked a significant moment in Rush's career, as "Vapor Trails" was their first album in six years, following a hiatus due to personal challenges, including the tragic loss of drummer Neal Peart’s daughter and common-law wife. The live recording captures not just the energy of the band, renowned for their intricate musicianship, but also fans' deep emotional connection to their music. The venue itself, the Tommy Hilfiger at Jones Beach Theater, is iconic, providing a beautiful backdrop of coastal scenery. Seeing Rush perform "Down By The Water" in this setting highlights the blend of their progressive rock sound with the natural beauty around them. It’s a testament to their resilience and ability to move forward, even through life’s harshest waves.
