On June 27, 1990, Rush performed at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, during their Presto tour. This era marks a fascinating phase in the band's history, as the album "Presto" was released just a few months earlier, in November 1989. "Presto" was significant for its exploration of new sounds, featuring a blend of synthesizers and a more concise songwriting approach. It showcased tracks like "Show Don't Tell," which struck a chord with fans and highlighted their continued evolution.
