Rush - Fly By Night
See all Rush HERE
Fly by Night was recorded at Toronto Sound Studios on Overlea Boulevard in Toronto, where they recorded parts of their first album as well as their next two albums, Caress of Steel and 2112.
John Rutsey left the band, and with one week’s notice, Neil Peart joined the band for Rush’s first American tour. In addition to drumming duties, Neil also took on the job of lyricist, leading the band to adopt a more literary lyrical style that differed significantly from their self-titled debut album.
“We’re very happy with It. We recorded it as an album. Singles would be nice, but that’s incidental.” – Geddy Lee, 1975
“By-Tor & the Snow Dog” was inspired by Rush roadie Howard Ungerleider’s story of staying at manager Ray Danniels’ house, where Danniels’ German Shepherd growled at him and his other small dog tried to jump on him. Ungerleider told Rush about it and they thought it was hilarious.
