With the digital release last month of Revival 69: The Concert that Rocked the World, the documentary about the one-day Toronto Rock and Roll Revival festival in 1969, Geddy Lee has recounted being among the more than 20,000 in attendance.
He writes on Instagram, “This was one of the legendary concerts in rock history. I was there with [original Rush drummer] John Rutsey. I was 16 and we were totally tripping on acid. [My future wife] Nancy Young was also there. She is shown in the audience during Chuck Berry‘s performance, although we barely knew each other and did not see each other.
“If you look at the lineup, every rock and roll great from the ’50s plus Alice Cooper, Chicago Transit Authority (Chicago), The Doors and John Lennon’s first post Beatles appearance on a stage.”
