All of 'Moving Pictures'

Key Points:

• During the third show of Rush’s Fifty Something Tour, Geddy Lee’s bass went dead two minutes into the overture of “2112,” causing a brief guitar-and-drums-only performance before a replacement bass arrived and the band resumed playing stronger than before.
• The band performed the entire Moving Pictures album in order during the second set, featuring a rare tour debut of “The Camera Eye” with added piano by keyboardist Loren Gold and impressive drumming by new touring drummer Anika Nilles.
• Aimee Mann joined Rush for a third performance of “Time Stand Still,” delivering a poignant rendition of Neil Peart’s personal song, accompanied by video tributes to the late drummer.
• Rush also debuted “New World Man” live for the first time since 2002, showcasing Nilles’ ability to handle Peart’s complex rhythms and the band’s evolving sound from the 1980s era.
• Geddy Lee’s vocals remain strong after 11 years off the road, with noticeable vocal improvements and renewed confidence, while Alex Lifeson showed increased stage presence and enjoyment during the performance.
