Canadian rock legends RUSH performed their seven-part suite "2112" for the first time in nearly 30 years at their second "Fifty Something" tour concert Tuesday night (June 9) at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California.

It marked the first time RUSH had played "Part III: Discovery", "Part V: Oracle: The Dream" and "Part VI: Soliloquy" as part of the 20-minute "2112" suite since the "Test For Echo" tour back in 1997.

The show saw other tour debuts, including the 1982 track "The Analog Kid", along with "Leave That Thing Alone" and "Headlong Flight", plus the "Hemispheres" classic "The Trees", which was performed live for the first time since 2008.
