Rush to release new live concert film alongside 50th anniversary reissue for “2112”

There has been a lot of action in the Rush camp to report as their reunion tour gets underway, as per theprp. For a possible future live film, the Canadian prog rock hall of famers plans to record their series of hometown performances in Toronto, Ontario, which begin tonight (August 7). The Scotiabank Arena will host those performances on August 7, 9, 11, and 13. For their live comeback this year, the band has, of course, signed drummer Anika Nilles to replace the late, great Neil Peart. Additionally, “2112,” the band’s fourth studio album from 1976, recently received a 4x platinum certification in the US. Today, August 7, the RIAA issued the new certification. November 1995 marked the album’s most recent three-time platinum status.

Given that a 50th anniversary version of “2112” will be released by UMe/Mercury/Anthem Records on October 02nd, it’s ideal timing for the group. Pre-orders are currently being accepted via this site for that offering, which will be delivered on a pressing packed with black liquid vinyl. The band’s 2003 greatest hits compilation, “The Spirit Of Radio: Greatest Hits 1974-1987,” will also make its vinyl premiere on October 2nd. Pre-orders can be placed by clicking this link. In case you missed it, a new documentary about Neil Peart was also announced this week.
