Rush embarked on their final dedicated warm-up run with the Spring Training ’85 Tour, utilizing the existing framework of their previous tour to give fans an early listen to pre-release versions of "The Big Money" and "Middletown Dreams." When the official Power Windows Tour launched, the set list was completely overhauled to heavily spotlight their pristine, synth-driven new album. Elaborate new tracks like "Manhattan Project," "Marathon," "Mystic Rhythms," and "Territories" took center stage, reshaping the show's dynamic. The band also reimagined the concert's flow, notably pushing the iconic "2112" ("Overture" and "The Temples of Syrinx") into the encore alongside the new track "Grand Designs." True to their evolving approach to live performances, the band continued to tweak the show, making several rotational changes throughout the tour's run by swapping, dropping, or shifting older staples to accommodate the dense modern material.
