About this album

All The World’s a Stage is a powerful early statement from Rush, capturing the band in full live flight as hard rock muscle met prog-rock ambition. Issued in 1976, the album draws on material from the group’s first three studio records and shows how quickly the Canadian trio had sharpened their sound around Geddy Lee’s high tenor, Alex Lifeson’s guitar attack and Neil Peart’s precision drumming. The set helped establish Rush as a formidable live act and as one of the era’s most technically accomplished rock bands, with extended performances of songs like “Bastille Day” and “2112” revealing the scale of their evolving identity.
