Rush

In April 1986, when Rush performed "The Big Money" at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, they were riding high on the success of their album *Power Windows*, which had been released just six months prior. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing their embrace of synthesizers and more commercial sound while still retaining their progressive rock roots. Fans often recall this era as one where Rush truly illuminated the concert scene, and their energy on stage during the Power Windows Tour echoed that sentiment. What’s fascinating is how *Power Windows* dealt with themes of wealth, power, and the implications of the modern world, and “The Big Money” distinctly captured that zeitgeist. Diving into this performance, one can feel the group's exciting synergy—after all, they were known for their technical prowess and dynamic live shows. It’s not just a concert; it’s a piece of musical history that highlights Rush’s evolution and connection with their audience during a significant chapter of their career.
