Tech-metal pioneers WatchTower perform Rush's 'Freewill' at The Exotic Garage in Austin, Texas with original guitarist Billy White - October 31, 1985.

In preparation for their gig the next night (November 1, 1985) celebrating the release of their debut album 'Energetic Disassembly', WatchTower performed a Halloween set of Rush cover songs in a virtually empty warehouse. The band payed tribute to their early 'backyard party' roots where they would perform a mix of original material and covers by Rush, Saxon, Iron Maiden, and Deep Purple.

watchtower may not have wanted the "fame" but dammit these guys are amazing, "Control and resistance" is a masterpiece!! in ways more technical than Rush and DT if technicality matters. overall these guys should get back together.... i love all their bootlegs and releases. badass guys!!
