Poughkeepsie, New York,
January 26, 1980

"Here is a scan for January 26, 1980 at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center. Poughkeepsie, NY. I had noticed for some time that no tour dates archives anywhere seem to have this show listed. I think I can explain why.

"This show was a last minute add on date and was put on sale only 2 weeks before the show. Due to the late add on, this show wasn't on the tour T-shirts where the dates were listed. I remember quite well that a bunch of other kids from school went and they all said it wasn't close to sold out, that the bleachers in the back had a lot of empty seats. My speculation for that was the late notice for the show, plus I remember a lot of local kids saying they were skipping the show because they had just seen Rush in Poughkeepsie only 9 months earlier on the Hemispheres tour.

"The civic center is still an active concert venue (holds 3,500) and this 1/26/80 show is the last time Rush ever played there."
