Rage Against The Machine & Run The Jewels Perform Together In Toronto

Rage Against The Machine was joined by Run The Jewels at their concert Saturday in Toronto. The two acts teamed up on Run The Jewels’ “Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck)” at the Public Service Announcement Tour stop at Scotiabank Arena.

Saturday’s concert, which was Rage Against The Machine’s first in Toronto since 1999, also saw guitarist Tom Morello get inadvertently knocked off the stage by a security guard attempting to tackle a man who rushed onto the stage. The unfortunate incident occurred during the encore while the band was playing “Killing in the Name,” which had to be stopped and restarted while Morrello gathered himself and retook the stage.

Run The Jewels, the duo consisting of Killer Mike and El-P, played an opening set on Saturday night. The pair were brought back out in the middle of Rage Against The Machine’s set to join the band on “Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck).” The song appeared on the 2014 album, Run The Jewels 2 with RATM frontman Zack de la Rocha contributing to the track. Still recovering from a leg injury suffered while performing in Chicago, de la Rocha performed Saturday’s concert while seated at the center of the stage.
