The Poojer Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 I am not what anyone would ever consider a fan of the band, in fact, from the mid-late 70's I absolutely hated the band, but had since grown to like them. This special about the life of the band is incredible. What a sound, and what a dedication to that sound and the musical quality....WOW!!!!
Mike In Illinois Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 A friend of mine saw his 10th Rush concert (over 20 years) the other night in St. Louis. I enjoy their music (not a big fan of theirs) and appear to be down-to-earth and don't get negative press- except for that Alex Lifeson "incident". I think it's disappointing they aren't in the Rock Hall yet. Also, I don't get to see it too much, but Palladia may be the best music channel on television. They actually show concerts, a lot of which are in High Def!
Pete Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 I just learned that Geddy Lee's parents met at Aushowitz. Incredible story! True love
BillsFanNC Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 My wife even loved the Beyond The Lighted Stage documentary, and to say that she hates listening to Rush is putting it mildly.
Philly McButterpants Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) Loved Beyond the Lighted Stage. Looking forward to getting the DVD with all the bonus stuff . . . Also looking forward to next Thursday's show in Syracuse. 6th Row! (Just don't rain on me) . . . Edited August 27, 2010 by Fatty McButterpants

He has a mini-Cooperstown in his house.

If I had his coin I'd have Cooperstown in my house. BTW I only had tickets to see Rush once, the wife and I are big fans. We had tickets to see them in Miamin in 1982. Our car broke down and we couldn't make it. I've known my wife for 30 years and have only seen her cry twice. That was second time, the first time was the first time I took my pants off.
