Happy, happy birthday to one of my favorite Rush albums! I've been playing it loud and proud on vinyl today! A tribute from Danforth & Pape- "Rush’s utterly iconic first live album was recorded at the equally utterly iconic Massey Hall at 178 Victoria Street in Toronto on June 11th, 12th and 13th during their 2112 tour. The title of the album alludes to William Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy As You Like It which would again be referenced five years later in Limelight (All the world's indeed a stage, And we are merely players.) And Mr Shakespeare also appears on this jolly cool Terry Gilliamesque style advert for the album. All The World's A Stage was Rush's first US Top 40-charting album and went gold, alongside A Farewell to Kings and 2112 on November 16th 1977. It was certified platinum in the US in 1981 after the release of Moving Pictures. In the words of the band at the time of the album’s release, “This album to us, signifies the end of the beginning, a milestone to mark the close of chapter one, in the annals of Rush.” And boy, were there some exciting chapters to come..."

(that blue cassette looks like one of those totally unauthorized Mexican cassettes they used to have in the gas station for $4.00 . . . .)- 15 replies

Received both my new copies of 2112 (which is on the TT right and sounds OH SO GOOD!) and ATWAS this afternoon, and I noticed something curious about the front cover of ATWAS. In the image below, you will see starting on the left - Anthem pressing (Canada), Mercury gatefold (UK), and finally on the far right, the new reissue. What a huge colour variance! With printing controls these days, I'm actually quite shocked in the disparity. Anyone have any thoughts? I know its somewhat trivial, but it seems odd to me. http://i.imgur.com/i3VDZrS.jpg

http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/geddy-lee-reflects-on-massey-hall-as-136-million-reno-gets-underway-1.2249600 Nice little interview, Ged talks about his early concert history there with Rush, and talks about when he went to see Cream there.
