Rush

Ah, Rush—where do we even begin? By the summer of 2013, when they rocked Halifax Metro Centre, the band was cruising through their "Clockwork Angels" tour, which was supporting their 19th studio album released the year prior. "Clockwork Angels" not only showcased their signature progressive rock sound but also marked a narrative-driven concept, weaving a story through the tracks, a hallmark of their artistry. Fun fact: this album was their first since "Test for Echo" in 1996 to feature a more cohesive lyrical theme. Now, imagine the excitement of being at that concert! The addition of the wild crew from "Trailer Park Boys"—Ricky, Julian, Bubbles, and Randy—joining the band on stage during a performance of "YYZ" must’ve created a unique blend of Canadian rock and comedy. It's a testament to Rush’s enduring appeal, capturing a moment that blended music, humor, and fan engagement, reminding us just how crucial those live shows are to the concert experience. What a night to remember!
