RUSH - Scars live performance from the Presto Tour at The Palace
In March 1990, during the Presto Tour, Rush was riding high after the release of their album "Presto," which had come out just a few months earlier in November 1989. This album marked a significant point in their career, showcasing a shift toward a more melodic and less complex approach than their earlier work. Fans were treated to a fresh sound, blending elements of pop sensibility with their signature progressive rock flair. Interestingly, "Scars," the song performed in the live recording from The Palace in Auburn Hills, is one of those tracks that captures the band at a transitional phase. Notably, this performance features the dynamic trio's signature intricate musicianship and Neil Peart’s powerful drumming. It’s a powerful juxtaposition of their earlier, more elaborate compositions with the melodic elements emerging as part of their evolving sound. The energy of the live audience adds a compelling layer, reminding us how integral concert experiences are to the band's legacy.
