Rush have streamed a previously-unreleased live recording of Something For Nothing, which will be included in the upcoming anniversary edition of 2112.

It’s released on December 9 and includes a remastered version of Rush’s breakthrough 1976 album, rare and unreleased material plus newly-recorded cover versions by Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters, Steven Wilson and others.

The new performance of Something For Nothing was recorded at the Massey Hall in Toronto in 1976. Other parts of the recording went on to make up that year’s live album All The World’s A Stage.

Last month Rush men Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson seemed to accept that their touring days were over, following the apparent retirement of drummer Neil Peart.
