Rush hadn't played all of "2112" since 1997, but they broke it out on night two of their new tour Andy Keilen for Rolling Stone Attention all planets of the Solar Federation: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson aren’t taking their new lease on life as Rush for granted. They promised to switch up the set list on their Fifty Something Tour, but fans had no idea they’d pull off the stunner they unveiled at night two of the tour at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum on Tuesday.
On night one, Rush began their second set with a chunk of 1976’s mini-rock-opera “2112” — on night two, they played the whole thing, all seven parts, for 20 minutes straight, complete with “Pyro.” It was the first time Rush played all of “2112,” which takes up a full side of its titular album, since 1997.
