May 17, 1990. The second of two nights at Maple Leaf Gardens. Hard to believe when I look at that number. 25 years.... wow... I was 17 then, I'm 42 now... hoo boy!
I've never forgotten it though. Voivod was the opener, and this was the first time "Xanadu" had been resurrected since they scrapped it years earlier. I'll always have a soft spot for the Presto album, I know I'm in the minority there! Anyone else see Rush for the first time on the Presto tour?
