RUSH Frontman Talks About Playing Toronto's Massey Hall; Video Available

September 14, 2009

In June 1976, Canadian rock trio RUSH ended its "2112" tour with three sold-out concerts at Massey Hall in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, a historic event at a historic venue. These shows were recorded for the double-live album "All The World's A Stage" — an effort that broke the band in the U.S., becoming the group's first Top 40 Billboard hit and paving the way for a string of famous RUSH live albums. It was a first for RUSH, but not the first time singer/bassist Geddy Lee felt magic on the stage at Massey.

In the clip below, Geddy takes City Sonic on a tour inside the legendary concert hall and back to the 1970s to reminisce on how getting to watch CREAM and GENESIS rock Massey Hall as a star-struck teen set the stage for him to make rock music history there himself.
