Rush
Rush - Subdivisions Live Performance at Shoreline Amphitheatre
Let’s take a little trip back to 1990, the year Rush was blazing through their "Presto" tour, and oh boy, were they on fire! Right before this live recording at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, released to celebrate their adventurous stance into the ’90s, Rush had dropped "Hold Your Fire" in 1987. That album was a significant turning point, showcasing a more keyboard-centric sound, which set the stage for the more melodic textures found in "Presto." What’s really fascinating about this recording from June 27, 1990, is that it captures a band embracing a mix of their progressive roots and mainstream appeal—evolving sounds, deep lyrics, and, of course, those intricate solos from Alex Lifeson! It’s a snapshot of Rush at a pivotal moment, solidifying their legendary status while balancing both innovation and nostalgia. Who wouldn’t want to relish that live energy, right?
