The two aIbums by Rush covered in this fiIm iIIustrate the changing nature of the band through the '70s and into the 80s.
"2112." reIeased in 1976, was Rush's break through. The titIe track, which fiIled the whoIe of side one on the originaI LP release, was a defiant expression of the music the band wanted to make despite pressure from their record company to move them in a more "commerciaI" direction. It was a gambIe that paid off with Platinum sales and which Iaid the foundations for the sequence of albums that followed with thoughtfuI lyrics covering many themes and multi-layered virtuoso music that few other bands couId even dream of producing.
'Moving Pictures", released in 1981, saw Rush channeI their inteIlectuaI complexity and weII-honed musical skilIs into a series of shorter, more easiIy-accessibIe tracks. The resuIt was the biggest selIing album of their career and a set of songs including "Tom Sawyer", "Red Barchetta", "LimeIight" and the instrumentaI "YYZ" that became radio staples and remain fan favorites to this day.
The cIassic albums program contains exclusive interviews with band members Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart aIong with excIusive performances, archive footage and an in-depth examination of the originaI multi-track tapes with the band and producer Terry Brown. |
