Legendary rock trio Rush have unveiled details for their first new recording since being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year. 'Rush: Clockwork Angels Tour', a new live album and DVD will be released on November 18.
'Rush: Clockwork Angels Tour' was filmed and recorded last November at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas, during Rush’s successful Clockwork Angels Tour. The 11 month marathon world tour crossed North America twice and ventured overseas to Europe in support of the band’s acclaimed 2012 studio release 'Clockwork Angels'.
Capturing the tour’s three-hour set, 'Rush: Clockwork Angels Tour' pairs Rush classics (Tom Sawyer, The Spirit Of Radio, 2112), with a nod to the 80’s Rush era (The Analog Kid, Territories, Subdivisions) alongside newly reworked arrangements specifically for the tour featuring the Clockwork Angels String Ensemble (Headlong Flight, YYZ, Red Sector A). The string section marks the first time the trio has brought additional musicians on the road with them.
Beyond the live performances, the DVD includes a 25-minute tour documentary, featuring interviews with all three members and exclusive, behind the scenes footage. Titled 'Can’t Stop Thinking Big,' the piece offers a glimpse into the inner workings of the Rush tour machine and insight into the band members themselves. Other special features on the DVD include the trio of hilarious shorts created specifically for the tour as well as interviews and outtakes captured during their filming. Additional filmed sketches and a rare soundcheck performance of perennial favourite Limelight round out the exclusive offerings.
'Rush: Clockwork Angels Tour' comes on the heels of Atlantic/Rhino’s September 30 release of “Vapor Trails Remixed,' a newly remixed version of the band’s 2002 album 'Vapor Trails' and seven disc boxed set 'The Studio Albums 1989-2007,' which features every studio album Rush recorded for Atlantic Records.
