Garden Road - Rush - ABC 1974

Twelfth track from Rush's ABC 1974, their first live recording from the Agora Theatre and Ballroom in Cleveland. Only recorded version of this song. I digitized the track from vinyl and edited (noise removal) on Audacity.

I'm suprised they never put this into the studio, it's already a heavy hard hitting rock tune, with a little work they could've easily made this into a fan favorite.

Reading Neil's last FAR AND Rush did play this for the very last shovv. Neil vvas kind of facetious about playing along. Plus Neil says the song didn't make the cut for the FLY BY NIGHT album.

One of Alex's finest moments solo-wise IMO.

Why don't they ever play this anymore? GARDEN ROAD!!!!

This was the last song Rush ever performed
They finished their last set of the Clockwork Angels tour with it

[Malzarin]

Am I crazy or does this feel like a precursor to Bytor?  Elements of the solo and general rhythm seem familiar.  Either way it's a great rock song!

Interesting, but not really disappointed that it never made it past this early era.

Could have been on one of those early Van Halen albums, maybe not the first one though

HOW MOTHERFUCKING DARE YOU! FOG HAT IS LORD!
WHY THE FUCK DON’T THEY PLAY GARDEN ROAD ANYMORE? GARDEN (But in all seriousness great song kick ass! 👊)
