Rush “Beyond The Lighted Stage” documentary in stores today!
Written by: Matt Wardlaw
This past weekend, I was out of town. While I was away, I had the DVR set to tape the VH1 Classic broadcast of Classic Albums featuring Moving Pictures and 2112 by Rush. After clearing some weeds out of the flower beds tonight (METAL!) and a bit of dinner, it seemed like a good time to officially chill out for the day, and watch a bit of Rush on the television.
Turn DVR and television on, select Classic Albums program for viewing....and suddenly I'm watching The Top 100 Hard Rock Songs of All-Time (or something like that) instead?
But....but......the SCREEN says Rush: Classic Albums!
What happened? What the hell, VH1 Classic?
Apparently, the Classic Albums broadcast was scrubbed at the last minute for reasons unknown.
Drat.
Luckily, today was still a good day for Rush fans, with the DVD/Blu-ray release of Beyond The Lighted Stage - the great new officially sanctioned Rush documentary that screened recently in theaters and made its television debut on VH1 Classic over the weekend. Having seen it in the theaters, I can tell you that it is one of the best rock docs that I've seen in quite a while. And the home video release is stacked stacked stacked with extras.
You can nab the DVD or Blu-ray as of right now and you'll be awfully glad that you did!
P.S. - conveniently, tonight also happens to be the opening night of the Rush tour!
How 'bout some random Rush video? You got it...

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.

Thanks to Rob Smith of Popdose for pointing me towards this hilarious video exchange featuring an "interview" with 80s popster Richard Marx. Billboard's Bill Werde and Marx kick the traditional interview format out the window while discussing Marx's latest album Emotional Remains, and have some humorous fun at the expense of some of Marx's fellow 80s peers instead.
Marx gets in one of the best artist to artist disses that I've heard in a long, long time! There's at least one Canadian artist that might be taking Richard Marx off of his Christmas card list.
Check out the video goods after the jump!
