Eight months after announcing a reunion tour featuring new drummer Anika Nilles to replace the late, great Neil Peart, Rush finally kicked off their “Fifty Something” tour on June 7th at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
The concert was their first full-length concert in about 11 years and their first ever full show with their new drummer.

I’ve watched this a dozen times already and I’ll watch it at least a thousand more. Anika Lilles absolutely crushing Neil Peart’s Tom Sawyer drum fill! And a little smile at the end. pic.twitter.com/e82lsD7akV
