My RUSH pals are going to LOVE this! This is Tim Scammell, host of the weekly show Testing For Echo on CHSR 97.9 in Fredericton Saturday afternoons at 3:00 pm and Tuesday mornings at 7:00.
If you're not in the Fredericton area just do an internet search for "CHSR 97.9" "Listen Live".

This week I’m sort of cheating.

As most of you know, our show is an homage to the best band to ever have existed, RUSH.

Back in April 2025 we had a station fundraiser and played many special live shows all day.

I offered to do a live show of all RUSH music, with the station manager Mark Kilfoil and I conversing between songs.

I felt it would be cool to replay the show today, for those that missed it.

So here we go, this is Testing For Echo, RUSH Hour.

Fly By Night
A Passage to Bangkok
A Farewell to Kings
The Spirit of Radio
Vital Signs
The Weapon
Time Stand Still
Alien Shore
Roll the Bones
Test For Echo
Far Cry
Seven Cities of Gold
The Garden
