Product Description
BEYOND THE LIGHTED STAGE - Blu-Ray Movie
Amazon.com
There isn't a directorial duo better equipped to profile Canada's famed power trio than compatriots Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen, the makers of Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. Insightful and entertaining, Beyond the Lighted Stage starts with the band's roots in working-class Ontario. Singer-bassist Geddy Lee, the son of Holocaust survivors, a self-described "nebbishy quiet kid," bonds with guitarist Alex Lifeson, the son of Yugoslav immigrants, over "this manic love for music," completing the lineup with "literate, opinionated" drummer Neil Peart (replacing John Rutsey). Getting gigs comes easy, but landing a record deal proves difficult until a Cleveland station takes a chance on "Working Man," and Mercury comes calling. The film proceeds oral-history style through the ensuing ups and downs: a tour with KISS (inspiring ribald comments from Gene Simmons), the making of classic records like Moving Pictures, the fashion faux pas, the personal tragedies, and the derision of critics versus the devotion of fans. Jack Black, one of several notable participants, praises their "deep reservoir of rocket sauce," while Metallica's Kirk Hammett proclaims them "the high priests of conceptual metal." They're also engaging conversationalists, and Dunn and McFadyen up the ante with home movies and early performances. The second disc offers additional live material and a look at a Rush convention. Old hands and new converts alike will find it hard to resist the true-life tale of three men who've stuck together through thick and thin, surviving and thriving where others have succumbed to petty squabbles and commercial pressures. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

The RUSH! Story You Always Wished For September 5, 2010
D. Johnson (Albuquerque, NM United States)
This documentary provides rare views into the personalities and interaction of Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee and Neil Peart, while giving the viewer a unique perspective of the making of a 70's rock and roll band and the evolution that has made RUSH! such a success and joy for fans nearly 40 years later. I'm a dedicated RUSH! fan since first hearing "2112" blister my ears while working in a record store. Every new album is much anticipated, and never dissappointing. However, I'm not insanely fanatic - about anyone (unlike some of the fans interviewed in the film who hit multiple shows each tour). I'd have to say the RUSH! has been my favorite band because they are always there, always intriguingly creative and fresh. I've always had a connection with them and felt that they were MY band. This film showed me that I'm not the only fan that feels this way. It is definately a film for all RUSH! fans, but most importantly it is a film for all Rock and Roll fans from the 70's - this will take you back to argueably one of the most dominant eras in Rock and Roll history. Rock on guys, eh!!!
A must have for fans. A very interesting movie for non-fans September 5, 2010
Vitor
The movie is fabulous. Nice interviews with big names from the rock scene. Neil opens his heart and Alex steals the show. It also has amazing footage from the early years, including videos (yes: videos!) from Alex's and Neil's pre-Rush youth. Non-fans may also like it, since the three guys are really funny - specially when they get together. I definitely recommend it.
Relive the Rush turn on ! September 1, 2010
Scott M. Smith (Mansfield, Ohio, US)
This is a must have for the Rush fan or Rock and Roll collector. I recomend this DVD also to the fans of WMMS in Cleveland where it really all got big!
Very Good and Interesting August 31, 2010
Voltaire (El Paso,Texas,USA)
Wow! Very good documentary and of Rush to boot. Very riveting, we learned a lot about Rush and like/respect them even more than we did before watching this video.
Thanx Rush for the wonderful music in my childhood(late 70's, Farewell to Kings, etc) and for Witchhunt- my W. Bush song. There is no hope.
A must have for Rush Fans August 31, 2010
Brian Fisher (Tempe, AZ United States)
The must have for any Rush fan. A great way to learn about how Rush became Rush
