1980 RUSH RADIO BROADCAST
This outstanding live broadcast captures a superb gig by Rush during the bands 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. 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. Initially the band was clearly influenced by British hard rock and heavy Blues groups, particularly Cream and Led Zeppelin. 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.
