Rush Fifty Something: A Night To Remember in Chicago
22 July - 13 minsJanda recaps night one of Rush's Fifty Something tour in Chicago on July 16, 2026— a show few fans thought they'd ever see after Neil Peart's passing in 2020. The episode covers drummer Anika Nilles winning over skeptics with a show-stopping "Tom Sawyer," the emotional Peart tributes, a full 2112 suite, a surprise nod to founding drummer John Rutsey, and the joy of watching Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson carry the band's legacy forward.
Part concert review, part love letter to five decades of Rush fandom — a reminder of why live music still hits like magic.
Spoiler alert: full setlist and show details discussed.
