Rush surprised fans during the second night of their Fifty Something tour at the KIA Forum in Los Angeles. After starting the first night with three parts of their iconic track “2112,” they went all out on Tuesday by performing all seven parts for the first time since 1997.
The setlist also included classic hits like “The Spirit of the Radio,” “Freewill,” “Limelight,” and “Tom Sawyer.” However, they mixed things up with some rarely played songs. Fans heard “The Trees” and “A Passage to Bangkok,” which haven’t been played since 2008, as well as “Leave That Thing Alone” and “Witch Hunt,” last performed in 2011. They even brought back “The Analog Kid,” which fans hadn’t heard live since 2013.
Additionally, they played “Finding My Way,” the opening track from their 1974 debut album. This song was last performed on tour in 1980, although they did play it at the 2026 Juno Awards in March.
This tour marks Rush’s first since 2015’s R40 Live and their first since the passing of drummer Neil Peart in 2020. They will return to the KIA Forum on Thursday. For a full list of tour dates, check out Rush.com.
