Ah, 1974—what a pivotal year for Rush! Just a few months before that electrifying live performance at the Long Beach Auditorium, they had released their self-titled debut album, "Rush." It was like stepping into the spotlight for the first time, filled with youthful energy and raw ambition. This live rendition of “Finding My Way” showcases the band's early sound, a unique blend of hard rock and progressive elements that would come to define their legacy. It's fascinating to think how, during that first tour, they were still a nascent band, establishing their identity while performing alongside heavyweights. Plus, this appearance on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert really helped them reach a broader audience, contributing to their gradual rise in the industry. Imagine those fans in the crowd—many probably didn't know they were witnessing the birth of a legendary power trio!
