I was so impressed with their set that I bought the Cut album a few days later.

I haven't thought about that show in years. This was back when you could still tailgate and we were 17 year old kids drinking beer & Southern Comfort on a school night. As were walking to the entrance my best friend violently pukes in a planter about 50 feet from the entrance. Security looked right at him and just laughed. It was my first Rush concert and we had such a blast that night. Good times, thanks for bringing them up.
