Rush

When Rush took the stage at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood on November 26, 1996, they were deep into their “Test for Echo” tour, promoting the album of the same name, which had come out just a few months earlier in September. This album marked a significant return to form for the band after exploring various musical avenues in the ‘90s. Interestingly, "Test for Echo" captures a blend of their signature progressive rock elements with a more refined sound, showcasing thoughtful lyrics and intricate musicianship. During this period, Rush maintained their status as a quintessential live act, known for their electrifying performances and deep connection with fans. The choice of "Tom Sawyer" for this performance speaks volumes, as it’s not just one of their biggest hits; it embodies the band's journey, remaining a staple in their live shows even decades later. This concert served as a testament to their enduring legacy in the rock world.
