Outstanding 5CD set from one of the most inventive and compelling groups in rock history!
The most successful band to emerge from the Canadian rock explosion of the early 1970s, Rush would go on to become one of that nations biggest entertainment exports. A trio of musical polymaths who cut a fiercely independent, sometimes controversial path through various musical styles to forge a distinctive, evolving sound that was incomparable to that of any of their contemporaries, this hugely influential group flourished across a 45-plus year career.
This fantastic 5CD set contains rare and collectable broadcast recordings from the years 1974 to 1980 and features some remarkable live versions of Rush classics '2112', 'Working Man', 'Xanadu', 'The Spirit Of The Radio', 'The Trees', 'La Villa Strangiato' and many more.
