Rush’s Madison Square Garden gig from this past Monday night is reviewed in the NYTimes online edition:
In two hours of music Rush touched on the grandiosity of Genesis, on garage psychedelia and even, for a few moments in “Digital Man,†the reggae backbeat of the Police. Rush improves as its music grows more elaborate. The trio plays with unrelenting muscle, pounding out the intricacies of its songs, but rarely letting them breathe. Its shorter tunes can get stuck in a continuous churn, but multipart extravaganzas like “Natural Science†hurtled through their contrasts.
