99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1985!
That year PLR presented Rush at New Haven Coliseum. Rush hit the road in 1985 to support its eleventh studio album, “Power Windows,” which featured such singles as The Big Money, Territories, Manhattan Project, Mystic Rhythms and Marathon. Joining them at the Coliseum were special guests the Steve Morse Band.
Today we look back when Rush rocked New Haven in 1985…
