Rush was a Canadian rock band formed in Toronto in 1968, consisting of Geddy Lee (bass, vocals, keyboards, composer), Alex Lifeson (guitars, composer), and Neil Peart (drums, percussion, lyricist). After its formation in 1968, the band went through several configurations before arriving at its classic power trio lineup with the addition of Peart in 1974, who replaced original drummer John Rutsey right after the release of their eponymous debut album, which contained their first highly-regarded song, "Working Man".

DYNAMIC EARLY 1970 BROADCAST FROM PETER GREEN & CO Fleetwood Mac s Autumn & Winter tour of 1969/1970, moved from Europe to the US on 19th November 69, and by 21st they were performing in New York at the Irving Meadows venue, supported by King Crimson. Mac went on to play several more dates in the Big Apple, including a splendid set at the Fillmore East, supporting Joe Cocker, on November 21st. The band then spent the remainder of the year performing in cities across the USA, and by New Year s Eve they were in Chicago, for a show the Kinetic Playground. By early January 1970, Messrs Green, Fleetwood, Kirwin and Spencer were on the West Coast and their first gig of the New Year took place at Bill Graham s Fillmore West on the 4th.

The first few months of 1970 were tumultuous for the Grateful Dead. They had been all over the country, from the Fillmore East to Hawaii and back, by way of New Orleans and St. Louis. They had fired their organ player, fired their manager, hired a new road manager and recorded an album. By 8th March, they had already played 34 shows. As near as anyone can tell, the sessions for Workingman's Dead were 16 - 19th February and then 9 - 16th March, when the basic tracks were completed. What has come to be known as the project tour - an east coast jaunt running 17th March through 29th March - was undertaken with the aim of composing a road song while on the aforementioned surface. Lyricist Robert Hunter had joined the tour for this express purpose and Truckin was written while the group allegedly hung around the pool in Dania, FL, just North of Miami, where they would also perform two gigs at the unlikely venue, Pirates World, an amusement park in the city which hosted rock gigs on weekends.

Led Zeppelin built their reputation on their live show. Their studio recordings were, as Jimmy Page stated many times in interviews, a springboard for further live improvisation and exploration. Many songs (“The Rover,” “The Song Remains The Same” and “In The Light” among others) began as riffs discovered on the stage…
