Working Men
Working Men is a live compilation from the Canadian progressive rock band Rush, released on 13 November 2009 through Anthem Records. It gathers a career-spanning selection of songs taken from the three tours the band undertook during the 2000s, and it came out on both CD and DVD, in keeping with their earlier live releases.
For anyone who knows Rush mainly through their studio work, from the self-titled debut of 1974 to Snakes & Arrows in 2007, this is a handy way to hear how the material sounded on stage in the band's later years. It pulls songs from across their long history into a single set, so it works as a snapshot of the 2000s touring band as much as a look back over the catalogue.
