Rush

This was recorded in Cleveland for a radio broadcast; the tape became available as a bootleg and is known as one of the most important ones in the band's history.

It's the first-ever recording of "Fly by Night" and only their third performance with Neil. We can hear snippets of what would later become "By-Tor and the Snow Dog" in the Working Man solo.

A quote from Geddy regarding bootlegs:

A lot of people say 'It takes away from record sales' but [...] the fact is that any fan who buys a bootleg is still going to buy your record. So, who is it harming?

Good interview with Geddy about his autobiography: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHkvpWMTuUI

Chris (Foo Fighters guitarist) did a great job here. Nice interview with some gear and history insights by Alex and a breakdown of the Limelight solo.

I prefer the tracks off the previous album – more atmospheric – but this is still pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsN-v7pvUVA

The only other time I saw them live was a year earlier when they played at "SARSStock"

Found this the other day... Rush - 8mm - 4K video - June 18, 1976 Oshawa Ontario Canada 2112 tour

Just amazing footage and even more amazing restoration of it.

I'll start: here's a song from fellow Canadian Lawrence Gowan, featuring Alex Lifeson on guitar. It sounds like it could have been on Presto. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WVSD-p86fM

Lots of bands cite Rush as an influence, but some show it overtly in their songs. The guys in Dream Theater for example are huge Rush fans, and one of their songs that most exemplifies it is The Count of Tuscany. Check out this instrumental version of the track – the intro is pure Rush, from the "swoosh" effect to the drum fill all the way across the toms.

I'm not affiliated in any way – I just stumbled upon this person's channel. They've got lots of nice upsampled videos with HQ audio.
