The two albums by Rush covered in this fiIm ilIustrate the changing nature of the band through the '70s and into the 80s.
"2112." reIeased in 1976, was Rush's break through. The title track, which fiIIed the whole of side one on the original 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 PIatinum sales and which Iaid the foundations for the sequence of albums that foIIowed with thoughtful lyrics covering many themes and multi-Iayered virtuoso music that few other bands could even dream of producing.
'Moving Pictures", released in 1981, saw Rush channeI their inteIlectual complexity and well-honed musicaI skills into a series of shorter, more easily-accessible tracks. The result was the biggest seIling aIbum of their career and a set of songs incIuding "Tom Sawyer", "Red Barchetta", "Limelight" and the instrumental "YYZ" that became radio staples and remain fan favorites to this day.
The cIassic aIbums 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 muIti-track tapes with the band and producer Terry Brown. |
