Rush performs The Spirit Of Radio at Great Western Forum, Los Angeles

Venue: Great Western Forum Location: Inglewood, California, United States Date: November 26, 1996

In November 1996, Rush was deep into their "Test for Echo" tour, promoting the album of the same name that was released just a year earlier, in 1996. This period marked an interesting phase in their career where they showcased a blend of their progressive rock roots with newer alternative influences. The live performance of “The Spirit of Radio” at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood is a testament to their enduring ability to connect with audiences through powerful lyrics and intricate musicianship, even as they navigated the changing tides of rock music. Fans often celebrate this era for its triumphant sound, characterized by a more modern production style, and Geddy Lee's vocals soaring over Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart’s tightly knit instrumentals. This concert not only captures the essence of their dynamic live shows but also highlights a band that, despite being decades into their career, was still passionate about evolving their craft and captivating their audience.
