Rush performs The Big Money live at Great Western Forum, Los Angeles
In November 1996, when Rush performed "The Big Money" at the Great Western Forum, they were riding high on the wave of their album "Test for Echo," which had been released earlier that year. This album showcased their distinctive sound—a blend of progressive rock and thoughtful lyrics—and was received quite well, marking a continuation of their exploration into more contemporary themes. An interesting tidbit: "Test for Echo" was created during a time of reflection for the band, particularly after the tragic loss of their longtime producer, Terry Brown, and the band members themselves underwent significant personal changes. The tour that followed was an exciting celebration of their enduring legacy, and this performance encapsulated the energy and evolution they were experiencing at that point in their careers, weaving together their iconic sound with fresh material that still resonated deeply with their devoted fanbase.
