Rush Performs '2112: Overture' with Dave Grohl & Taylor Hawkins at 2013 Induction Ceremony

Venue: NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE Location: Los Angeles, California, United States Date: April 18, 2013

At the heart of the 2013 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Rush shared the stage with Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins, performing the iconic "2112: Overture." This moment was especially significant, as it highlighted the band’s enduring legacy and the influence they’ve had on rock music since their formation in 1968. Leading up to this live recording, Rush had just released their album "Clockwork Angels" in 2012, which marked a triumphant return after a long career of genre-defining albums. "Clockwork Angels" showcased their knack for storytelling, featuring themes of destiny and free will, continuing the progressive rock tradition. The live performance brought together two generations of rock artists, emphasizing Rush's deep connections within the music community. It’s fascinating to think that a band so deeply rooted in the '70s and '80s could still resonate so powerfully with modern rock legends—talk about timeless!
