From brainwaves to tidal waves: the story behind Rush's album covers
Jeffrey Morgan
Because I live in Toronto (and happen to love loud rock ’n’ roll), I was asked to write a feature on Rush for this Special Edition (of course, the fact that I also happen to be a Contributing Editor to CREEM might also have something to do with it).
It seemed an easy enough assignment; after all, I’d been following Rush’s career ever since I saw them opening for the New York Dolls on October 27, 1973 at the late, lamented Victory Burlesque Theatre on Spadina Avenue. Since then I’d watched them proceed from the then unheard-of feat of performing three nights in a row at Massey Hall to playing three nights in a row at Maple Leaf Gardens— and being able to afford to give away one night’s proceeds to charity.
