Rush

As of March 3, 1986, when Rush performed "Limelight" at the Colisée de Québec, they were in the midst of their "Power Windows" tour. This landmark tour showcased their album "Power Windows," released just the previous year. "Power Windows" marked a significant shift in Rush's sound, embracing more synthesizers and a polished production style, which is clear in the vibrant performance captured in this live recording. Interestingly, the album's themes also reflected the personal and technological tensions of the '80s, touching on ideas of power, individualism, and social dynamics. The band's dynamic stage presence during this period was phenomenal, as they fed off the energy of their audience. It’s fascinating how, in a moment frozen in time, you can feel that connection radiating through the music, emphasizing why Rush has remained a beloved staple in progressive rock history.
