Rush

On October 13, 2002, Rush delivered an electrifying performance at Philips Arena in Atlanta, a highlight of their Vapor Trails tour. This marked a significant moment in their career, following the release of their album *Vapor Trails*, which came out earlier that same year. It's notable for being their first studio album in over a decade, as the band took a hiatus after *Test for Echo* in 1996. Riding on the wave of this triumphant return, the live recording of “Tom Sawyer” captures not just their growth as musicians but also their undying passion for live performance. Interestingly, the Vapor Trails tour signified a fresh start for Rush, featuring an updated sound that blended their classic progressive rock roots with a more modern edge, reflecting the evolution of their artistry. This performance is emblematic of their resilience and ability to connect with audiences, even after years away from the studio. What a comeback!
