More information: This tour differed from previous Rush tours with an increase of new material played (nine songs compared to the more usual four or five) and the reintroduction of songs that had not been played for decades (for example "Circumstances", last played when the band was touring for 1978's Hemispheres, and "A Passage to Bangkok", which was last played in its entirety on the Moving Pictures Warm-Up tour and included as a cut on 1981's double-live album Exit... Stage Left). The first leg also marked the initial time "Entre Nous" from Permanent Waves was performed live. Some of the older songs (e.g. "Digital Man" from Signals) were shortened.
Neil Peart's drum solo underwent changes. The big band ending, which on previous tours featured Peart's performance of "One O’ Clock Jump" by Count Basie, instead incorporated a portion of "Cotton Tail", a song he recorded with the Buddy Rich Band on the tribute Burning For Buddy, Vol. 1. The marimba section from "Pieces of Eight" and the tribal excerpt piece from "Scars" were also dropped.
Rush first played outside North America on October 3, 2007, when they performed in Glasgow Scotland, following which they played several concerts in England. On October 9th and 10th they played at London’s Wembley Arena, and a few days before these London gigs, they played in Sheffield, UK, at that city’s Hallam FM Arena, on 6th October, where they put on one of the entire tour’s finest performances.
Note: Recording quality can vary on live releases.
