Rush-Different Stages (1998)

In 1998, Rush released their fourth live album, the first to break the double-album format, launching a triple disc with excerpts from their last tours promoting the album "Test For Echo", plus a recording from 1978 during the "Hemispheres" tour. Running for over three hours, what the band offers here is a carefully curated selection of the quintessential material that Rush created over more than 30 years. This triple album features some of their all-time favorites such as "Anthem", "Fly By Night", "Xanadu", "Tom Sawyer", "Bastille Day", "Farewell to Kings", "Working Man", and "Cinderella Man", as well as powerful versions of songs from their later albums like "Limelight", "Bravado", "Analog Kid", "Natural Science", and "Roll the Bones", not forgetting the entire epic suite from "2112". With this live performance, Rush continued to demonstrate that technically they were the best power trio in progressive hard rock of the last three decades.
