RUSH captured the "Clockwork Angels" tour by filming in Phoenix and Dallas on November 25 and November 28,
respectively. The shows were recorded for a DVD release in 2013.
The North American leg of the "Clockwork Angels" tour kicked off on September 7 at the Verizon Wireless Arena in
Manchester, New Hampshire and wrapped on December 2 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 arranger David 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.
