Summary
Los Angeles' Kia Forum hosted Rush's third Fifty Something Tour show, where the band ran through all of 1981 album Moving Pictures and unveiled "The Camera Eye" for the first time on the tour.
The set also featured "New World Man" for the first time since 2002, while touring drummer Anika Nilles handled both songs' shifting rhythms as Rush continued its first trek in 52 years without Neil Peart.
A bass failure briefly derailed the overture to "2112" late in the show, forcing Geddy Lee offstage for a replacement before the band restarted the song within seconds.
Aimee Mann returned for a third straight "Time Stand Still," and Lee's voice appeared stronger again after 11 years off the road, even pushing "Dreamline" up an octave.
