RUSH - Mid-American Dreams PE - Full Concert from Power Windows Tour 1986

Venue: MECCA Arena Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States Date: March 24, 1986

In March 1986, at the MECCA Arena in Milwaukee, Rush was riding high on the success of their album *Power Windows*, which had been released just a few months earlier in October 1985. This live recording captures the band at a pivotal moment in their career, when they were honing their signature sound—a blend of progressive rock, synthesizers, and intricate musicianship. What's particularly intriguing about this era is how *Power Windows* emphasized themes of technology and individualism, reflecting the growing influences of the 1980s. During this tour, Rush not only showcased standout tracks like "Big Money" and "Marathon," but also made a notable connection with their audience, channeling the spirit of the times. This concert is a fantastic encapsulation of Rush's dynamic energy, as they were at a peak of creativity and popularity, solidifying their legacy as rock legends.
