Premier Guide Miami was on the scene. Here is what we witnessed.
Rush closed their Time Machine Tour at Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach on October 2, 2010 — the final date of a 40-city North American run that had begun in Albuquerque in June. Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart chose West Palm Beach as the tour's closing night, and the Cruzan crowd responded with the kind of devotion that has made Rush's fan base one of the most legendary in rock.
The centerpiece of the evening was the first-ever live performance of Moving Pictures in its entirety — the 1981 album that remains Rush's most successful record, certified 4x Platinum and featuring "Tom Sawyer," "Limelight," "The Camera Eye," "Witch Hunt," "Vital Signs," and the Grammy-nominated instrumental "YYZ." Hearing these songs performed in sequence, in full, for the first time ever, was a genuinely historic moment for Rush fans.
The set also drew from across their catalog — classics from 2112 , Hemispheres , Permanent Waves , and Signals alongside new material from the album they were recording with producer Nick Raskulinecz. Peart's drum solo was, as always, a performance within a performance — a sustained display of technical mastery that left the audience in stunned silence before erupting.
Rush has sold more than 40 million records worldwide and ranks third after The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band. The Time Machine Tour's closing night at Cruzan was a fitting celebration of that legacy.
