Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage Trailer

Hot Docs is less than a week away now, and we just got a hold of the official trailer for one of the opening night films, Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage. From directors Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen (Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey, Global Metal), I think it’s safe to assume that this will be the definitive look behind Canada’s legendary prog rock pioneers. They may not have a reputation as the coolest band in the world, but other musicians have always worshiped them, and the trailer clearly shows that there will be no shortage of big name rock stars talking about how influential they are. I just hope there are also some great stories about their formation and the evolution of the band throughout the decades to go with it. Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage premieres on Thursday night at 9:30 pm at the Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto.

I ‘Got’ them when they played my Toronto suburb high school, and never let go of them. It’s been a wild ride, many concerts, and Every album, so This is a Must see for Any rock music fan who loves them, and Any rock fan who has never seen what keeps a band together through thick and thin.
Most marriages don’t go through what these 3 guys have, and stay together for almost 40 years!! And they are so damn GOOD at it!

RUSH needs no justification. They still jam. They haven’t sold out to big label BS. They still cater to their fans. You can still get a ticket for under a hundred bucks. (ouch”’) I’m looking at a ticket stub from 1979-Rush in concert at the Greensboro Coliseum-fifth row on the floor…* dollars.
