Rush

Ah, the exhilarating world of Rush! By December 5, 1987, when they rocked the New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the band was riding high on the success of their album *Hold Your Fire*, released just months earlier in September. This album was quite a shift for them, playing with more synthesizers and polished production that delighted fans and drew new listeners into their orbit. Interestingly, *Hold Your Fire* touched on themes of love and communication in a way that felt remarkably timely, reflecting the late '80s' cultural landscape. The performance featured “Lock And Key,” a standout track that showcases their signature blend of complex rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics. Fans often reminisce about this era—it was the time when their concerts became legendary spectacles. And let’s not overlook the fact that the energy in the Coliseum that night surely resonated with the band’s commitment to pushing musical boundaries. This moment in time wasn’t just another gig; it solidified Rush’s reputation as progressive rock titans, earning their place in the hearts of music lovers everywhere.
