Rush Live Performance of Limelight at The Coliseum in Quebec City

Venue: Colisée de Québec Location: Quebec City, Quebec, Canada Date: March 3, 1986

Let’s journey back to March 3, 1986, a pivotal moment for Rush and their legions of devoted fans. This live recording of "Limelight" captures the band at the height of their powers during the Power Windows tour. Just prior to this, they had released the acclaimed album "Power Windows" in 1985, which brought an electrifying blend of synthesizers and intricate rhythms — pushing them into the more arena-oriented sound that became their trademark in the '80s. Interestingly, this tour was significant not just for its musical innovation but also for its grand stage design that complemented the new album’s themes of technology and modern life. The concert at the Colisée de Québec showcased Rush's evolution, blending high-energy performance with lyrical depth, making it a splendid snapshot of their artistry at that time. Plus, fans reveled in a band that, despite its growing fame, still felt deeply connected to its roots and their audience.
