Rush Performs Xanadu at Radio City Music Hall Concert

Venue: Radio City Music Hall Location: New York, New York, United States Date: August 18, 2004

On August 18, 2004, Rush delivered a memorable performance of "Xanadu" at the iconic Radio City Music Hall in New York City, as part of their 30th Anniversary tour. Just before this landmark live recording, the band released the album "Vapor Trails" in 2002, marking their comeback after a hiatus. It was a deeply personal project for the trio, as they navigated through grief and loss—the gentler yet thought-provoking lyrics reflect this transitional journey. By the time of the concert, Rush had fully embraced their legacy while showcasing their signature blend of progressive rock and intricate musicianship. This performance not only celebrated their extensive catalog but also highlighted their resilience and adaptability in the face of changing musical landscapes. The New York venue added an extra layer of excitement, as the band's loyal fanbase relished the chance to see Rush in such a storied space. They truly captured the essence of rock 'n' roll during this special night.
