Album of the Day

Exit . . . Stage Left, by Rush (1981): Rush isn't exactly the most diverse group live - they stick pretty close to the studio versions most of the time. Nonetheless, their live albums usually have a little extra kick in them that makes a listen worthwhile. That's particularly true for this one, as it covers the zenith of the band's proggy phase. The disc-ending version of "La Villa Strangiato" is killer.
