Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Fans will gorge on this deft, year-by-year portrait of the ultimate enduring cult band. And even a skeptic may come away with an affection for the intricate labor of Rush's skewed-time-signature epics.
Fresh: Dunn and McFadyen have done Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart the service of resolving their eventful, four-decade career. It's a smart, lyrical, often funny movie.
Fresh: A wonderfully engaging and genuinely interesting career profile of Rush, those most derided of prog-rock shriekers, tracing their path from anonymous Toronto suburbia to self-effacing power-trio legends.
Customer Reviews
Beyond the Lighted Stage
I've been a Rush fan since the early 80's and Beyond the Lighted Stage was amazing. Even casual fans will enjoy renting this, but if you consider yourself a die hard fan, do yourself a favor and buy this movie. It was just fun watching the blend of archival footage and interviews with the guys themselves. I smiled from beginning to end. Bottom line, if you like Rush, you'll like the movie!
Fantastic
Solid movie for any music fan, not just those into Rush. If you aren't into the band, you'll understand why so many of us are. The integrity in these guys comes through loud and clear, while their influence on other major musicians is clearly demonstrated through several interviews. The movie does focus more on the 70s music and kind of rushes through the keyboard era, but with so much ground to cover in two hours, it's understandable that they can't get everything. The 70s were the biggest growth period of the band and showed where they came from, so it's a good time in which to focus.
Incredible.....
I watch alot of music related documentaries and this by far is one of the best. The early footage from the 70's, though the interviews which really play into the personal lives of the band are beyond belief. Rush has always been a band that was over the top, but somehow demonstrably in the back light to the music industry even though they sell out every show. This lets you see why they are amazing in every aspect and how they are overtly normal in every way and how fame is has not encumbered their proficiency.
Buy this video- you will not regret it if you love Rush.
