Rush

On May 24, 2013, Rush delivered a stellar live performance at the O2 Arena in London during their Clockwork Angels Tour, a tour that celebrated their 19th studio album, *Clockwork Angels*. This album marks a significant point in Rush's career, as it showcases their ability to evolve while remaining true to their progressive rock roots. Notably, *Clockwork Angels* tells a cohesive narrative—a first for the band—highlighting their storytelling prowess. At the time of this performance, the trio—Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart—had already made a name for themselves, mastering a blend of complex compositions and accessible melodies. They performed iconic tracks like “YYZ” and “The Spirit of Radio,” which both evoke their legendary status. Fun fact: this concert included the Clockwork Angels String Ensemble, adding a lush dimension to their already rich sound, demonstrating how Rush continually seeks new expressions of their music. Isn't it incredible how they keep pushing boundaries even after decades in the industry?
