RUSH Molson Canadian Rocks SARS FEST
The concert was organized in about a month, upon the suggestion of headliners the Rolling Stones, who wanted to help revive Toronto's economy after the SARS outbreaks earlier in the year.
RUSH was the last band to be added to the lineup.
According to drummer Neil Peart, "When we were first asked to play Molson Canadian Rocks For Toronto, it seemed impossible to say yes. We had been off the road for 8 months, our gear was in the warehouse, most of our crew was out on other tours, and even we were all over the place - Geddy with his family in France, Alex working in the studio mixing our Rio de Janeiro show, and me on my motorcycle in the California mountains. However, when we thought about everything Toronto meant to our lives, to our work and play, our homes and families and friends, it seemed impossible to say no!"
This was the largest audience RUSH ever played to, in front of live... it was in front of their hometown.
The final song in the set, "The Spirit of Radio" began with an amazing tribute to the host band, The Rolling Stones, with RUSH's own version of the Stones classic, Paint it Black.
Enjoy!
