Billed as “Elevate From The Norm” – a lyric from the 1981 “Moving Pictures” track “Vital Signs” – the five-date series will see the band play a set of fan favorites and greatest hits from across their catalogue in celebration of Rush’s music, legacy, and the life of the late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart.
"When I first heard of Sphere, I thought to myself, 'wow, what a shame that Rush is no longer touring, because this venue sounds tailor made for the kind of visual attitude with which we have always designed our shows,” says Geddy Lee. “Normally we spend months designing the visual effects for our shows and this scenario seemed like the cherry on top of the ice cream for our design team. But life is nothing if not surprising and now, here we are, living and touring in the present tense and we are able to make that particular dream come true.
“We are presently working hard to expand our touring concepts and concoct some new madness to suit this incredible venue and musically perform the kind of show we've been doing in some of our "one off" cities. Meaning playing all of ‘2112’ and all of ‘Moving Pictures’ along with an array of other songs. We are so effin' excited to make use of this incredible opportunity to please our fans both visually and viscerally- from wherever they might fly in from. Gonna be so much fun!!"
Rush will perform the “Elevate From The Norm” series at Sphere on May 21, 23, 26, 28, and 30.
