Rush

In June 1990, when Rush played at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, they were in the thick of their Presto tour, promoting their album "Presto," which was released in late 1989. This was an exciting time for the band as it marked their return to a more accessible sound after the experimental feel of their previous work, "Hold Your Fire." "Presto" introduced a new era characterized by a mix of progressive rock and shorter, punchier tracks—think catchy hooks blended with their signature complex musicianship. The Shoreline show captured Rush's dynamic energy, showcasing how well they connected with the audience. Interestingly, during this tour, they employed a unique stage setup featuring a large video screen that allowed fans to experience intimate moments up close, a nod to the band’s forward-thinking approach to live performances. It’s a testament to their creativity and the loyal fanbase that embraced this transition.
