Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage

[Rock N' Rollin' Man]

Really want to see this, hope they show it nearby if not I'll see it once it comes out on DVD. Good words being said about it release date for DVD is June 29 in North America and July 5 in the U.K. Wish the directors would make a definite Black Sabbath documentary.

That's good.... But this film deserves it's own thread discussion.

Now showing on Palladia tonight 9-11:30 west coast

I watched this on VH1 Classic last night. It was also shown on VH1 last night.

I really enjoyed it.

An interesting tidbit revealed in the film is that Neil Pert is very shy and reclusive and doesn't participate in meet and greets. He said that he hates the adulation that he gets, and he does not like interacting with fans. I thought that it was interesting that he travelled Canada, the US, and Mexico on a road trip, and not one person recognized him as a rock star, and he was pleased with his anonymiity.

I would highly recommend watching this film if you get the chance.

Makes me excited for my Rush concert on August 29th!

I missed seeing it last night but it's going to be showed again on VH1 Tuesday night. I will be seeing it that night.

What aired last night was not the full show as they were advertising it on DVD as a 3 hour show with 90 minute bonus, but I enjoyed it. It even made me a bit misty eyed regarding Neil's trajedy that sent him on that trip.

When I was 20, I had a group of friends who were guys that were absolutely crazy about Rush. I couldn't see the attraction as I found GL's voice a little grating for me, so I wasn't much of a fan. Now that I am older I have a tendency to listen beyond the voice and break down the components that make the song. And I have found that their music was so complex and the lyrics so, deep, for lack of a better word. Now I like them, not all songs, mind you, and listening does take me back to those free and crazy times of my life.

His book "Ghost Rider" is fantastic. I'm not a huge Rush fan, but for some reason I cannot wait to see this film. Need to see it in a theater though. Not sure if it's playing anywhere here right now.

Just finished watching it on Palladia.

Fantastic documentary.

One of the best ever of a rock band, imo.

I'll watch it over again for sure.

Let me start off by saying this: I am first and foremost one of the biggest fans and proponents of Led Zeppelin and their Music and all that they did and to this day still convey (and that to me says alot more than I can literally interpret in a couple of sentences).

Rush is probably my second favorite band of all-time. My very first concert I ever attended was a Rush concert in St. Louis, MO for the "Grace Under Pressure" tour. That first Rush concert seemed to open a floodgate of concerts that I eventually attended. Probably between 100 - 200 concerts since that very first awe inspiring and ground-breaking event.

As of today I am going to be in the "Presence" of Robert Plant and the Band of Joy in less than 24 days from now. And in 90 days I will again witness the Second Greatest Band of All-Time, RUSH, in Dallas, Texas. After watching this Rush documentary, I am even more than anticipating another great concert from Geddy, Alex and Neil.

yes, i caught that. Probably good for him as well since he was healing from his personal tragedies. Another thing i couldn't help notice was how much he sounded like the legendary Detroit hockey player turned color analyst, Mickey Redmond. If you follow Red Wing hockey, you know what i'm talking about. Those guys have virtually the same deep Canadian voice.

Just finished watching this earlier (finally!). Fantastic movie... and I laughed quite a bit through it. Man, those guys have a great sense of humour!!
