Rush - 2112 (Overture/The Temple of Syrinx)

This is a live performance from Canadian progressive rock band Rush playing the first two parts of the song "2112" from the album of the same name.
The "2112" album was released in 1976. The title track of the alum is a 20 minute suite composed by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson with lyrics by the drummer Neil Peart. The composition tells the story of a dystopian society in the year 2112. This 20 minute suite and the fact that the album is named after it makes people think that it is a concept album. However technically it's not because the rest of the songs on the album have nothing to do with the suite and its lyrics.
The song is divided into 7 parts adding to the lengthy running time of about 20 minutes.
Complete list of the parts of the composition:
Part Title Starting time (*) Length (*)
I Overture 0:00 4:33
II The Temples of Syrinx 4:33 2:12
III Discovery 6:45 3:29
IV Presentation 10:14 3:42
V Oracle: The Dream 13:56 2:00
VI Soliloquy 15:56 2:21
VII Grand Finale 18:17 2:14
Total Running time 20:33
This performance only features the two first parts of the composition.
I think it's a very good song and live performance. Rush is definitely an impressive band.

Enjoy ; )
