Rush

Back in March 1986, when Rush performed "Distant Early Warning" at the Colisée de Québec, they were riding high on the success of their album *Power Windows,* which had dropped just a few months earlier, in October 1985. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, featuring a more synthesizer-driven approach, which was a bit of a departure from their earlier, more guitar-centric work. It included themes of technology and power—what a perfect fit for the '80s, right? The Power Windows tour solidified Rush's place in the rock pantheon, showcasing their intricate musicianship and immersive performances. It's interesting to note how the band managed to keep evolving their music while still maintaining that signature complexity that fans loved. Plus, the live energy in that Quebec show? You can almost feel it radiating off the screen—so unique to Rush, who thrived on the connection with their audience. They weren't just performing; they were crafting a shared experience!
