After three nights of surprises at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, to kick off their highly anticipated reunion tour, RUSH pulled one more rabbit out of the hat on the fourth and final night at the venue on Saturday night, performing “A Farewell to Kings” for the first time since 1979.
Per Setlist.FM, the last time RUSH performed “A Farewell to Kings” was at the Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands on June 4th, 1979. Forty-seven years later, the band broke out the song as they wrapped up their four-night stand at the Forum.
Other highlights included once again playing the entire seven-part “2112” suite, as they did on night two, and giving “The Pass” and “The Anarchist” their tour debuts.
RUSH’s “Fifty Something” North American reunion tour continues through December, with tickets available here.
