Rush's 1980 Concert History

Rush is a Canadian rock band formed in Toronto in 1968. The original lineup consisted of guitarist Alex Lifeson, drummer John Rutsey, and bassist and vocalist Jeff Jones, who was soon replaced by Geddy Lee. Over the next six years, the band underwent several lineup changes before establishing its classic power trio with the addition of Neil Peart in July 1974, replacing Rutsey shortly after the release of their self-titled debut album. This lineup of Lifeson, Lee, and Peart remained stable until 2015, when Peart retired from music.
