Rush

**Rush in Montreal: A Snapshot of Their ‘Grace Under Pressure’ Era** On July 14, 1984, Rush took the stage at the Forum de Montréal, captivating audiences during their "Grace Under Pressure" tour. By this point in their career, they had released the "Grace Under Pressure" album just a couple of months earlier, marking a pivotal moment in their evolution. This record saw them embracing more synthesized sounds and darker lyrical themes, a shift from the more progressive rock vibes that had initially defined them. Interestingly, this live performance is especially significant as it captures the band during a time when they were experimenting with their style and sound—treading the line between the familiar and the innovative. The Montreal shows were a homecoming of sorts for the Canadian trio, showcasing their strong connection to their roots and offering fans a vibrant glimpse into the band's creative journey. Plus, it's one of only two known audience recordings from this tour, making it a rare gem for die-hard fans.
