RUSH - Half The World Live at Molson Amphitheatre, Toronto, Canada

Venue: Molson Amphitheatre Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Date: June 30, 1997

In 1997, when Rush performed "Half The World" at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, they were right in the thick of their "Test for Echo" tour. This album, released in 1996, marked a significant moment for the band as it emphasized their evolving sound while still honoring their progressive rock roots. Interesting enough, "Test for Echo" was also notable for being the last studio album released by the band before their hiatus in the early 2000s. Fans often regard the live performances from this era as particularly spirited, embodying the energy of their Canadian roots. Plus, it was during this time that the band began to embrace the complexities of digital recording and performance technology, pushing the envelope in both sound and stage presence. It’s no wonder that the concerts from this tour leave such a lasting impression—the synergy between Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart was palpable!
