Rush

When Rush took the stage at the Shoreline Amphitheatre on June 27, 1990, they were deep into the "Presto" tour, showcasing their album "Presto," which had been released in late 1989. This album marked a shift for the band, blending their classic progressive rock roots with a more accessible sound, highlighted by tracks like "Show Don't Tell" and, of course, "Closer to the Heart." At this time, all three members, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart, were truly in sync, exploring themes of individuality and connection. It’s interesting to note that during these years, Rush began incorporating more synthesizers into their music, reflecting the evolving sound of rock in the late '80s. Fans often fondly remember this concert, not just for the stellar musicianship, but for the palpable energy that Rush brought to their performances—making every show a unique experience. Who doesn’t love a group that’s as tight as family?
