| Description | FIRST EVER RELEASE OF THIS 1980 RUSH RADIO BROADCAST This outstanding live broadcast captures a superb gig by Rush during the band''s extensive ''Permanent Waves'' tour in 1980 at St. Louis'' Kiel Auditorium - the ''Permanent Waves'' album the group were promoting having been released on 1st January that year. The tour began on 12th January in Michigan, took in some Canadian dates and eventually wound up back in New York on the 23rd of May, before they headed overseas to perform a further 18 dates in the UK during June. At this stage, Rush were at a highpoint in their lengthy career. Since forming in Willowdale, Toronto twelve years earlier, Rush had released seven albums to increasing acclaim and sales. The band''s line-up had been rock solid since drummer, percussionist and lyricist Neil Peart had completed the trio format with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson shortly after the recording of the group''s eponymously titled debut in 1974. Onstage Neil has always been a showman, inspired by flamboyant sticksmen Keith Moon, John Bonham and Ginger Baker. Initially the band was clearly influenced by British hard rock and heavy Blues groups, particularly Cream and Led Zeppelin - indeed Geddy Lee''s vocal style has often been compared that of Robert Plant. Three tracks from the ''Rush'' album are included as part of this broadcast: Working Man, In The Mood, and just a snippet of Finding My Way. |
