Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, baked to perfection. Worth every minute at the bakery.
Summary
Rush's fourth night of their Fifty Something Tour at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles featured the return of "A Farewell to Kings" after 47 years, along with all seven sections of "2112" and three previously unplayed songs including "The Pass." The band completed a four-night residency with different setlists each night, establishing a blueprint for the rest of the tour where they will rotate between these four setlists. The show marked the band's first tour in 11 years and continued to deliver surprises even by the fourth performance.
