Rush

In April 1983, Rush was riding high on the success of their album "Signals," which had been released just a few months prior in September 1982. This live recording from the Montreal Forum captures the band during a pivotal moment in their career as they fully embraced synthesizers and a more radio-friendly sound, thanks to the influence of "Signals." It features staple tracks that highlighted their evolution, such as "Subdivisions" and "Tom Sawyer," which became anthems of their soon-to-be-burgeoning legacy. Interestingly, the "Signals" era came at a time when Rush was working through a shift in their sonic landscape. This show, part of the first leg of the "Signals" tour, saw them experimenting with new material and continuing to win over fans, proving that their unapologetic exploration of progressive rock was resonating deeply. Every note played in that Montreal night still echoes the band's fearless creativity and dedication to their craft.
