RUSH

Tuesday: Canada's contribution to prog rock (and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) came to the Twin Cities three years ago to celebrate its new album, "Clockwork Angels." It was three hours of deep album tracks, the new album and just two hits at the end, "Tom Sawyer" and "The Spirit of the Radio." Now, without a new album, Rush is doing a 40th anniversary tour that is doubling as something of a farewell because drummer Neil Peart has chronic tendinitis. That doesn't mean the trio is breaking up; it just means Peart can't handle the rigors of touring. (7:30 p.m. Tue. $48.50-$128.50. Xcel Energy Center, W. 7th St. and Kellogg Blvd., St. Paul. 1-800-982-2787, www.ticketmaster.com.)
