The R30: 30th Anniversary Tour was a concert tour by Canadian rock band Rush that celebrated the 30th anniversary of the band's definitive formation in July 1974 after Neil Peart replaced original drummer John Rutsey. It was also in support of the cover album Feedback. The tour started at the Starwood Amphitheatre in Nashville, Tennessee on May 26, 2004 and culminated at Sportpaleis Ahoy in Rotterdam, The Netherlands on October 1. The show on September 24, 2004 at the Festhalle in Frankfurt, Germany was recorded and released as a DVD titled R30: 30th Anniversary World Tour in November 2005.
The tour was staged in amphitheaters in North America and arenas in Europe. Of note was a video role of comedian Jerry Stiller as an introduction to each performance. The setlist was consistent throughout the entire world tour for the first time since the 1987 Hold Your Fire tour.
New opening film with imagery from each album and a band introduction by Jerry Stiller.
