It’s a good year to be a Rush fan. This summer, your favorite Canadian rock trio will be on the road performing the entire Moving Pictures LP and previewing new songs from their new studio album currently in progress.
Rock documentary junkies will love this news regarding the pending release of Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage, the new documentary from filmmakers Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn, all about some band called Rush, in case you didn’t get that from the title. McFayden & Dunn are the same folks that brought you the excellent Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey documentary, and while Geddy Lee might have seemed a bit out of place as an interview subject in that documentary, he’ll certainly have plenty to talk about in Beyond The Lighted Stage.
The documentary will premiere here in the States at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on Saturday, April 24th, with all three members of Rush on hand for the premiere.
Here are a couple of clips from the film:
McFayden spoke about the flick in an interview last year with Classic Rock magazine:
“Geddy had been in [Dunn and McFadyen’s previous documentary] ‘Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey’ and we were thinking about other bands we could work with,” explained McFadyen. “We felt that RUSH had always been overlooked by the critics so we met them on tour and they liked what we said. We started working on it, then IRON MAIDEN came about so we took a break to do that and raised the financing for the RUSH film. We’ve started on it now and done a load of interviews so now we’re editing with a load of archival footage.”
“We’ve been lucky. Not only have we had access to [RUSH management] SRO’s archives but also Geddy, Alex and Neil’s own personal archives,” enthuses director Dunn. “I was just at Geddy’s house this week. Going through his personal collection of memorabilia. I dug up some gems I don’t think RUSH fans have ever seen so we’re hoping to offer something new.”
If you’re planning to attend one of the Rush tour dates this summer, you can grab your own personal copy of the documentary, as part of a premium ticket package (cha-ching!) being offered for the tour:
