If you missed seeing Rush live, this is as close as you’ll ever get to the real thing.

When I listened to Moving Pictures, I closed my eyes and I could hear my brother.

From the opening chord, the three-piece had the audience in the palm of their hand. Eóin de Paor proved himself a multi-instrumental marvel, shifting seamlessly between bass, keyboards, violin, and soaring lead vocals with precision and grace. Jamie Dunleavey, small but mighty behind the kit, unleashed a performance of sheer virtuosity, power and finesse combined in a way that drew gasps and cheers in equal measure. Steve Brown’s guitar work was masterful, weaving delicate textures and explosive solos with an ease that reminded everyone why Rush’s catalogue is both feared and revered by musicians. Together, the trio were note-perfect yet never mechanical. They played with joy, energy, and connection, each glance and grin on stage mirrored by beaming faces in the crowd. Fans were swept along on a journey that spanned Rush’s most iconic work, from the intricacies of their prog epics to the pulse of their rock anthems.
