Rush performs Red Sector A live at Phillips Arena, Atlanta

Venue: Philips Arena Location: Atlanta, Georgia, United States Date: October 13, 2002

During their 2002 concert at Philips Arena in Atlanta, which is documented in the performance of "Red Sector A," Rush was riding the wave of their comeback album, *Vapor Trails*. Released in 2002, this record marked a significant return after a lengthy hiatus that had many fans buzzing with excitement. It's fascinating to think about how the trio—the legendary Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart—had absorbed personal and musical challenges during their break, and *Vapor Trails* emerged as a deeply reflective work that echoed those experiences. This tour, known for its high energy and emotionally charged setlists, really showcased their resilience and ability to connect with their audience, emphasizing not just the music but the journey they had taken to get back on stage. The live recording captures that electric atmosphere, reminding us why Rush has always held a unique place in rock history.
