RUSH w/ Anika Nilles - LEAVE THAT THING ALONE Live 2026 (Fifty Something Tour) | DualCam

LEAVE THAT THING ALONE is one of Rush’s remarkable instrumental pieces, originally released in 1993 on the album Counterparts. After more than a decade away from the live stage, Rush brought this powerful instrumental back during the Fifty Something Tour 2026–2027, featuring the incredible drummer Anika Nilles behind the kit. Without any lyrics, "Leave That Thing Alone" tells its story entirely through music — showcasing the extraordinary chemistry between Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart. Driven by Geddy Lee’s dynamic bass groove, Alex Lifeson’s expressive guitar work, and Neil Peart’s legendary rhythmic foundation, the song captures the spirit of exploration, energy, and creativity that defines Rush’s musical identity. As one of Rush’s most memorable instrumental compositions, "Leave That Thing Alone" proves that music does not always need words to communicate emotion and tell a story. It is a powerful conversation between three musicians through sound, rhythm, and expression. In this historic live performance, Anika Nilles brings her own energy, precision, and musical interpretation while honoring the incredible drum legacy of Neil Peart — proving that the spirit of Rush continues to live through its music. #Rush #LeaveThatThingAlone #AnikaNilles #NeilPeart #GeddyLee #AlexLifeson #Counterparts #FiftySomethingTour #RushLive #ProgressiveRock Enjoy the celebration of 50 years of Rush’s incredible legacy! ---------- video source: -brad -kenchiarito ( June 9, 2026) audio source: -tapeheadtoo ---------- I made some slight audio adjustments and edits
