Rush - Animate Performance at R40 Live Tour in Toronto
In June 2015, when Rush filmed their "R40 Live" concert at Toronto's Air Canada Centre, they'd just wrapped up an incredible chapter in their storied career. Prior to this monumental event, they released "Clockwork Angels" in 2012, a critically acclaimed album that showcased their signature blend of progressive rock and complex storytelling, solidifying their status as rock legends. "R40 Live" not only celebrated their 40th anniversary but also featured a setlist filled with fan favorites spanning their extensive catalog, highlighting their versatility and musical evolution. It's fascinating to note that this concert was filmed in their hometown, creating a full-circle moment for a band that started in Toronto, and the energy from the crowd must’ve been electric. The recording captures not only the music but also the profound connection the band has with their fans, making it a cherished piece in their legacy. It’s almost poetic how this performance encapsulates the very essence of Rush’s journey over four decades.
