DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
Rush’s sixteenth studio album, Test for Echo, was released on 10 September 1996 on Anthem Records. It was the final Rush album co-produced by Peter Collins. The band supported the album with a world tour in 1996 and 1997, after which they went on a four-year hiatus following the deaths of drummer Neil Peart's daughter and wife; the band would not record again until 2002. The title track of the new record reached No. 1 on the mainstream rock chart. The song ‘Driven’ became a bass showcase for Geddy Lee during live performances, while ‘Resist’ was rearranged as an acoustic song on the Vapor Trails and R30 tours. The band did not perform any tracks from the album on subsequent tours. By December of 1996, the Test For Echo Tour was in the southern states of the US, and on the 5th of the month, Rush played at the Summit, in Houston, Texas, where they put on one of the tour’s very best shows. The whole affair was recorded and broadcast across local radio too, and the concert is now available in its entirety on this new 2CD set.
