Friday Morning Diversion: A Double Dose Of Rush

Rush

Clockwork Angels, Rush's first new album of original material in five years, debuted on the Billboard/Soundscan charts at number 2 this week and—if the reviews mean anything—marks a stunning return to form for the legendary Canadian power trio. (Which is something critics always say when a band has been around for as long as Rush.)

We downloaded but haven't listened to Clockwork Angels yet, but we are in a Rush mood this morning. In that regard, here are two versions of one of their live staples, "YYZ."

The first version is overdubbed in a capella.

And here's a 13-year-old girl who shows she's able to keep up with Neil Peart.
