Roots Of Heavy Metal post #4
This period of Rush where the band expanded on their Progressive Rock tendencies was crucial in the development of today's Progressive Metal scene. Such bands as Fates Warning, Tiles, and Dream Theater may not exist. The band was experimenting with longer songs and more complex time signatures, elements that would live on in today's Progressive Metal.
This show captures, if what Geddy Lee says is true, Rush's first visit to Tuscon, Arizona. The band performs all the long tracks, "2112", "Xanadu", "Cygnus X-1", and "Hemispheres". The entire Hemispheres LP is included in the set as well. The show is also notable because the audience has to be told a few times to calm down and step back because people are being pushed up against the barricades. Geddy Lee tries a few times stating that the stage was starting to lean. When Geddy is unable to get the crowd to stop surging forward, a roadie for the band comes out and tells the audience that if the stage falls people could be killed, that seems to do the trick and the show continues.
