Below are two uncharitable reviews of Rush's second visit to Vancouver, British Columbia, in October 1976 (the first was September 26, 1975). The exact date of the show is uncomfirmed, but is believed to be Tuesday, October 19th for the following reasons: 1) according to one article, the show took place on a Tuesday; 2) based on the Rush albums released up to that point as listed in the article, it can be determined that it is the All The Worlds a Stage tour, which ran from August '76 - June '77. In addition, it is stated that the opening band was Max Wwebster, and it is known that they opened for Rush on the Canadian dates of this tour. From the known tourdates, Rush was in Winnipeg on Sunday, October 17, 1976, and in Seatle on October 25th. Vancouver fits in between those cities, and this leaves us with Tuesday, October 19th, 1976.
