The North American leg of the “Clockwork Angels” tour kicked off on September 7, 2012 at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire and wrapped on December 2, 2012 in Houston, Texas.

In addition to adding a lot of rarely played songs to their opening set,RUSH brought a string ensemble out on tour with the band for the first time ever in its career. Orchestrations provided by well-known arrangerDavid Campbell were used on several tracks from the band’s new album,“Clockwork Angels”, and RUSH recreated that sound during the tour.

“Clockwork Angels” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard album chart, selling 103,000 copies in its first week of release. The disc marked RUSH ‘s highest chart debut since 1993’s “Counterparts”, which also entered at No. 2.
