Rush

Back in 1987, when Rush delivered that electrifying live performance of "The Spirit of Radio" during the Hold Your Fire Tour, they were riding high on the waves of their own innovative musical journey. Just a year prior, they released the album *Power Windows*, which showcased their signature blend of prog-rock and synthesizer-driven sounds, pushing their artistic boundaries further than ever. This live recording captures the energy of a band that was not just performing but connecting with their audience in a way that felt both intimate and expansive. Interestingly, *Hold Your Fire* was the last Rush album produced entirely by Peter Collins, who helped refine their sound into a polished, radio-friendly format—yes, the era of synthesizers and complex lyrical themes reigned supreme. So, when you hear that infectious rhythm and lyrical depth in the recording, it’s like a snapshot of a band at the peak of their creative powers, charting new territories while still honoring their roots.
