Rush

On September 29, 1977, Rush was riding high on the success of their fourth studio album, *2112*, which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, establishing them as key players in the progressive rock scene. Notably, *2112* contains the iconic title track that tells a compelling story of a dystopian future and the power of individualism—a theme that resonates deeply with their audience. By the time they performed at the Warnors Theatre in Fresno, the band was beginning to forge their reputation for electrifying live performances, blending complex compositions with theatrical flair. Interestingly, this concert also featured UFO, showcasing the vibrant live music scene of the era. It’s fascinating to think about how moments like these, captured on video, allowed fans to experience the magic of Rush in their early days, long before they became rock legends.
