For:Fans of progressive rock, classic rock, collectors and music reviewers

 'Exit... Stage Left' is their second double live album and the best record ever made by the boys from Toronto, and I’m categorical about that.

 The Canadian band Rush is a trio with undeniable technical and compositional skills, and in this excellent 1988 live album, they provide a brilliant demonstration of them.

 Rush is like fine wine, the more time passes, the better they become (and if they ever become vinegar, it will surely be Balsamic of Modena :D).
