Rush

Ah, Rush in the '90s—what a fascinating time! By the time of their live recording of "Manhattan Project" on March 8, 1990, they had just released their album "Presto" only a few months prior, in November 1989. This record marked a bit of a shift for the band, leaning more into keyboards and a slightly more streamlined sound compared to their earlier, complex arrangements. Fans were buzzing about "Presto" for its thematic depth and musical evolution, which is no small feat when you've been in the game as long as they had. Interestingly, "Manhattan Project," the song they performed, dives into the ethical implications of nuclear warfare—a subject that resonates with their penchant for thought-provoking lyrics. And let’s not forget the energy of that live performance at The Palace—it’s electric, embodying the essence of Rush’s musicianship and dedication to their craft. It’s a remarkable snapshot of a band that has always pushed the boundaries of rock music. Knowing Rush, you can bet their concert was an unforgettable experience!
