R40 Live
R40 Live is Rush's concert album and video from the R40 Live Tour, filmed at Toronto's Air Canada Centre on 17 and 19 June 2015. It came out on 20 November 2015 on Anthem Records. The CD edition runs to three discs: the first set, the second set, and a third holding the encore plus seven bonus tracks. It follows Clockwork Angels, the band's most recent studio album, from 2012.
The real draw is the rarities. This is the only live outing for "Losing It" from Signals and for "How It Is" from Vapor Trails. Benjamin Mink, who played electric violin on the original "Losing It", joins the band for it in the first set, restoring the part that had kept the song out of their live show. The bonus tracks include a second take with violinist Jonathan Dinklage, from the string ensemble that backed Rush on the Clockwork Angels Tour.
