Rush performs the full 1976 album “2112” live for the first time in nearly three decades during the second show of their “Fifty Something Tour.” Multiple outlets report that the band—Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, with the tour continuing after the death of drummer Neil Peart in 2020—changes its setlist approach on the reunion trek and includes rare material in addition to major album tracks. Stereogum says the band’s tour opener takes place at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, and that the second gig features a major milestone: Rush plays all of “2112” for the first time since 1997. Rolling Stone also highlights that, during the night-two performance, Lee and Lifeson break out the entire mini “rock opera,” surprising fans with the decision as part of the tour’s early dates. While the coverage emphasizes the moment’s significance, the reports consistently place the event in the context of a run of dates that also includes guest appearances by other celebrities at certain shows.
