As a result, this marked a development in their sound from blues-inspired hard rock towards progressive rock. While preparing their follow-up album, Rush took the extended and conceptual song elements that they had introduced on Fly by Night and made it the central focus for their new material.
In June 1975, they finished touring Fly by Night, which culminated in a Canadian leg that had them as headliners for the first time. The group were on a rise in popularity, and received a Juno Award for Most Promising Group.
They released Fly by Night (1975), which marked Rush's first foray into multi-part and conceptual songs with "By-Tor and the Snow Dog".
By mid-1975, Rush had stabilised with a line-up of guitarist Alex Lifeson, bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee, and drummer and primary lyricist Neil Peart, who had joined the group in 1974.
