The Full Story

The Moment

This photograph depicts Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart amidst the elaborate A Farewell to Kings stage setup. Rowlands often emphasized the challenge of capturing the power-trio's complex energy and dense instrumentation in a single frame, making this image a testament to his technical skill.

The Heritage

This era marked Rush's introduction of synthesizers and double-neck guitars into live performance. Rowlands' image preserves the chemistry of the trio while highlighting the ambitious stage design and technical sophistication of their Toronto shows.
