Rush To Debut Clockwork Angels Tour 5-LP Set

The Rock And Roll Hall Of Famerโ€™s 2012 Concert Album Makes Its Vinyl Debut On October 11th

Rushโ€™s final studio album, Clockwork Angels, debuted at #1 in Canada and #2 in the U.S. in 2012, tying it with Moving Pictures (1981) as the highest-ranking debut of the bandโ€™s career. Soon after, Rush launched the Clockwork Angels Tour, which featured the band performing for the first time with a string ensemble. The tour would be immortalized on the 2013 live album, CLOCKWORK ANGELS TOUR.

Rhino will release the music from that collection on vinyl for the first time on October 11 for $119.98. CLOCKWORK ANGELS TOUR is pressed on five 180-gram LPs and includes an etching on the flipside of the final album. The set comes packaged in a two-piece telescope box with a full-color booklet, and a code to download a high-definition digital version of the album.

Clockwork Angels was the 19th studio album that Rush made over 38 years, and the last since Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart stopped recording and touring in 2015. The album was followed by an extensive 73-date tour that ran from September 2012 to August 2013. In November 2012, the band recorded concerts in Phoenix, Dallas and San Antonio for a live album that was released as a 3CD/DVD set in 2013. The new vinyl version of CLOCKWORK ANGELS TOUR includes all 31 tracks from the original CDs.

For the concertโ€™s first set, Rush focused mainly on songs from its run of stellar albums in the Eighties with: โ€œSubdivisionsโ€ (Signals, 1982); โ€œThe Body Electricโ€ (Grace Under Pressure, 1984); and โ€œForce Tenโ€ (Hold Your Fire, 1987). The bandโ€™s platinum-certified album Power Windows received a lot of attention throughout the concert, with performances of โ€œThe Big Moneyโ€ and โ€œGrand Designsโ€ along with three more album tracks.

During the concertโ€™s second set, the band performed live with a string ensemble. Led by Canadian conductor David Campbell, the Clockwork Angels String Ensemble accompanied the band on 10 of the 12 songs from the Clockwork Angels. The ensemble also joined the band on โ€œDreamlineโ€ (Roll The Bones, 1991), โ€œYYZโ€ (Moving Pictures, 1981) and โ€œRed Sector Aโ€ (Grace Under Pressure, 1984).

The vinyl set also features the bonus tracks from the original release, including a version of the classic โ€œLimelightโ€ that the band recorded during soundcheck.
