Mood Lifters — Tribute to RUSH
Sunday, December 7, 2025
@ The Lighthouse Cafe, Hermosa Beach, CA

"A tired mind become a shape-shifter
Everybody need a mood lifter
Everybody need reverse polarity" — Neil Peart

Minds were blown and spirits soared as the "Mood Lifters – A Tribute to Rush" performed 3 hours of RUSH at the iconic Lighthouse Cafe in Hermosa Beach. The special feature of this show was the performance of the "Power Windows" album in its entirety to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

Power Windows was released in October, 1985, and is Rush's 11th studio album. Neil’s lyrics focus on various manifestations of power–”Manhattan Project” explores the origins and consequences of the U.S. military’s development of the atomic bomb, and “Territories” comments on nationalism around the world.

Track list:

01. The Big Money
02. Grand Designs
03. Manhattan Project
04. Marathon
05. Territories
06. Middletown Dreams
07. Emotion Detector
08. Mystic Rhythms

Forty years on, Rush's explorations of power in its political, emotional, technological, and personal forms remain chillingly relevant—and Mood Lifters honored them with precision and passion, first at Winstons in San Diego last weekend and again at The Lighthouse Café.
