Rush concert chronology

It was the band's first tour with no opening act on any date, and was billed as "An Evening With Rush." The tour kicked off October 19, 1996 at the Knickerbocker Arena in Albany, New York and culminated on July 4, 1997 at the Corel Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. This was the only concert tour in which Rush played the song "2112" in its entirety. This marks the last tour until 2002 because of tragedies in Neil Peart's life. Recordings from the tour were released on the 1998 live album Different Stages.

gollark: Oops.
gollark: Wait, some other person had the same issue, right?
gollark: That basically loads the `component` library and binds it to the variable `component`.
gollark: It's not some sort of magic lua mode, it just runs a program which reads input, executes it, and displays the result.
gollark: You can also just do `component.redstone`.
