Rush Performance of Dreamline at Knickerbocker Arena in Albany
In December 1991, when Rush performed "Dreamline" at the Knickerbocker Arena in Albany, they were deep into their "Roll The Bones" tour, riding high on the album they released just a couple of months prior. "Roll The Bones," which came out in September 1991, marked a fascinating phase in their career as it showcased a blend of their classic progressive rock style with more contemporary elements, including hints of funk and hip-hop influence, particularly evident in tracks like "Dreamline." This live recording captures not just the band's electrifying energy but also their willingness to explore new sonic territories. Interestingly, this era also saw the return of their iconic lyrical themes, merging intricate storytelling with philosophical musings. The fan reception during this tour reflected a mix of nostalgia and excitement for their evolving sound, reminding us just how dynamic and adaptable Rush was as a band during this time.
