Rush

In November 1987, when Rush performed live in Buffalo, they were riding high on the success of their album *Hold Your Fire*, which had dropped just a month earlier. This album showcased their continued evolution into a more synthesizer-oriented sound, blending progressive rock with a modern flair, and was emblematic of their adeptness at experimenting while still engaging their core fanbase. What’s particularly interesting is that during this concert, the band played several tracks from the new album, including *Big Money* and *Time Stand Still*, illustrating how they embraced their latest work on stage. This period marked a significant moment for Rush as they navigated through their more commercially successful phase, with a sound that captured the essence of the late '80s. It’s also worth noting that their live performances were known for their elaborate stage lights and visual effects, making concerts an immersive experience—something that fans cherished deeply during this era.
