All the World’s a Stage (Rush Album) Live

All the World’s a Stage is a double live album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1976. The album was recorded at Massey Hall in Toronto on June 11, 12, and 13 during their 2112 tour. The title of the album alludes to William Shakespeare’s play As You Like It, which would again be referenced by Rush in their 1981 song “Limelight”. According to the liner notes, this live album (Rush’s first) marks the end of the “first chapter of Rush”, and would begin a trend of Rush releasing a live album after every four studio albums.

“Because musical taste is so personal, I really don’t like writing or reading reviews much. I just want to hear it and decide if I like it. But I’m sitting here writing reviews on some things I’ve purchased on Amazon and had some time to kill. All The World’s A Stage has been one of my top 3 favorite live albums since it came out in the ’70’s. Gawd I hate admitting to be that age! But, I still love this album. If you’re a Rush fan, this is a must have in my opinion. It’s more like a musical story than an album really. The flow and continuity is pretty impressive considering it’s not a studio album. Their 2112 segment, I’ve always thought was an amazing piece and to recreate it live as they did on this album is just very, very impressive.”
