Photos 29 August 1974 - Casino Arena, Asbury Park, New Jersey

[Rush Archives]

Photos probably taken by Rush's crew, from Geddy's personal collection

Captured by "Grommet2112" in 2023 during the slideshow at Geddy's "My Effin' Life" book event in New York City.

We've dated the photos by first noting the outfits and drum heads to narrow down the potential date range, then matched the stage with photos of King Crimson at the same venue earlier in 1974.
Note, the last shot of Neil could be from another nearby date, however it's possible he changed shirts during the encore break.

"My only experience of the Jersey Shore was a 1974 show at a waterfront ballroom in Asbury Park, opening for the band Mountain - aptly named after their massive guitarist, Leslie West. During their set, Howard assembled the contents of our deli tray into one giant sandwich, and left it in Mountain's dressing room. Oh those juvenile hijinks!" - Neil Peart, Roadshow
