RUSH Live Performance of Bravado from the Clockwork Angels Tour in Pittsburgh
In 2012, when Rush took the stage at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh for their “Clockwork Angels Tour,” they were celebrating not just their legacy but also a fresh chapter in their discography. Prior to this live performance, they had released "Clockwork Angels" in June of the same year, marking their first studio album in over a decade. This album was met with critical acclaim and showcased a narrative style that intertwined classic Rush themes with vibrant storytelling—perfect for the live setting. Interestingly, this performance of "Bravado," a song originally from their 1989 album "Hold Your Fire," highlights how the band often revisited their extensive catalog, creating a bridge between their past and present. It's also poignant that the concert took place on September 11, a date etched in history as a day of remembrance. The choice to perform "Bravado," a track that conveys themes of resilience and strength, added a deeper emotional layer to the event, resonating profoundly with fans in attendance.
