Rush

On March 6, 1986, during a packed performance at Toronto's iconic Maple Leaf Gardens, Rush was riding high on the success of their album *Power Windows*. Released in 1985, this record marked a significant moment in the band’s career, showcasing their evolution into a more synth-driven sound while maintaining their intricate, progressive rock roots. What’s particularly fascinating about the *Power Windows* era is how it represented a blend of soaring melodies and thoughtful lyrics, tackling themes of power and the human experience. The live show featured tracks from this album that mesmerized fans; it was a pivotal time for Rush as they were solidifying their status as rock legends. And let's not forget that tickets back in the day were just a fraction of today’s prices—around 30 to 40 dollars! That feeling of being in the crowd, buzzing with energy, has likely become a cherished memory for many who were lucky enough to witness it live.
