Each album has it’s own special mark that is worth looking at during these 25 days of Rush. They’ve become something of a convention of die hard fanatics all converging into a single theater for one night to hear their favorite songs or their favorite parts of songs played live or just to see their musical heroes in person.įrom the 1970s to 2011, Rush has (usually) dropped a live album supporting a major tour or a major event in the band’s history (like their 30th and 40th anniversary collections, for example). Rush live shows have become an event since the band first formed and started touring outside of Canada and the upper United States.

Few bands have live albums that perfectly capture the energy of the band performing and the crowd loving every moment of the performance. The live albums have also served as a valuable time stamp of sorts, capturing the band’s sound and ambitions at a particular point in their history onto a single disc. Rush’s live albums are an anomaly in live recorded music.
