Like many, I found Rush as teen (or maybe pre-teen?) and was immediately hooked by the aggressive musicality and complexity and the allusive nature of Peart’s lyrics. Even the album title here is a reference to Snagglepuss (as well as a reference back to All The World’s a Stage?).

Still holds up as an amazing live album, drawn from the tour supporting Moving Pictures as well as the previous Permanent Waves tour. Mixed and overdubbed / fixed at Le Studio in Quebec after the tour.
