Fidestro Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I don't know what the release schedule is for this movie worldwide, but here in the states a movie will be released next week called "I Love You Man" starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segel. It is a Judd Apatow movie. Judd directed Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin, etc. Jason Segel is the guy who showed his manhood in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Rudd has been in a ton of movies. Anyway in this movie they are apparently huge Rush fans and they cover Limelight and their version of it is on the soundtrack. I found it posted online already at a blog and thought that some Rush fans may want to listen. Please realize that this is a comedy movie however.

By-Tor Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 That was actually a OK performance. Thanks... I gotta check out this movie. Check these small kids. They're not bad, either: ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> This is the real thing: ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Man... I didn't realize how many Rush cover bands there are on YouTube... hundreds. These were definitely the prettiest ones I found. (the dumbass, braindead director keeps turning the camera away of the blonde though).

Fidestro Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have that Toronto show on DVD. That was the show they did to promote Canadian tourism in the aftermath of the SARS scare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush, AC/DC and the Stones. And poor Justin Timberlake opening. According to reports he was booed and got bottles, eggs (among other things) thrown at him. He had a lot of guts to show up there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) I didn't even know Rush was a part of that (i live in Toronto),everyone went to see AC/DC but the Stones was the headliner,after AC/DC rocked the place and the Stones came out,people were already heading home... Ya Timberlake came out with his gay routine and took a beating,this is AC/DC country... Edited March 13, 2009 by Dave123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidestro Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Ahh [censored] of Dave... we both know you were there to see Justin Timberlake. He was in the front row flashing his bling at Justin. That was why Justin got beaned with so much trash, the light from Dave reflected into his eyes and he could not see what was coming for him.

andreww Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Actually, getting back to the movie, Rush is actually in it. They apparently perform Limelight in a concert setting. They took a day off on there recent tour and played the song something like 40 times in front of the cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I will date myself a bit here, but my first Rush concert was way back on the "All the World's a Stage" tour in 1977. I believe Angel opened up for them. God I feel old right now ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Bigtime Rush fan myself. I played Bass (Rickenbacker 4001) & Keyboards in a Rush Cover Band "Vital Signs" (cough) 20 years ago. I also had some written correspondence with Neil circa Hold Your Fire tour. I saw the preview for the movie, now I have to see it! Although old news for X-Box/PS3 gamers. Wii owners with Rock Band 2 can now download the entire "Moving Pictures" album and Working Man. The game comes with The Trees. These are original no-cover versions. So IF you want to play along to your favorite Rush Tunes, check it out. There are two "The Who" songs on there as well (since we seem to have some Who fans here). -Ronin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Farewell to Kings was released the next week, but in Toronto we got to hear all the new tunes a week early. Awesome show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 My first Rush show was 1994 in my NY trip. Saw Pink Floyd back in 1989 too (Momentary Lapse of Reason tour, first tour without Waters). Those are still the 2 best rock shows I've ever seen. I was there at MSG. They had a double date but I only saw the first show. I'd love to see Dave Matthews Band (I'm a huge fan). Amazing live band but they're completely unknown in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005SUBMARINER Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 sweet guitar solo on the 2nd vid : real deal . great sound ... think ima going to learn that guitar solo .. thanx for the vids BT ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hey 2005, you're a Eddie fan... check this out. You'd probably like it... Alex plays very "Eddiesque" guitar solo in this. It's some kind of bootleg recording (Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan 1994) but pretty good quality (someone apparently had a video camera in the front row). Analog Kid is a genius of a song. ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> Turn the Page is another song that has amazing guitar work and overall playing. A Show of Hands live (Replay DVD) is Rush in their prime, imho. They were still in their early 30's and the band was playing sharp as a razor.

mjmurphy926 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I saw RUSH with .38 Special at the Cow Palace in San Francisco on March 14 and 15 1980. Me and a bunch of buddies rented a U-Haul truck, got a keg and a bunch of bean bag chairs and drove from Sacramento to SF for the weekend shows. We slept in the back of the U-Haul. It was AWESOME!! BTW - What the hell...is Geddy doing his laundry in the Limelight video?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'd love to see Dave Matthews Band (I'm a huge fan). Amazing live band but they're completely unknown in Europe Come to Boston! They're playing at Fenway this summer...I might snag advance seats myself with AmEx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Permanent Waves Tour 1980 was the first time I saw the band live. Also if you have a copy of Neil Peart's "Road Show". The cover photo-- That was taken at Red Rocks Amphitheater. I was there, and am one of the dots about 23 rows back. -Ronin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Rush had recorded the S&A tour DVD there as well. But for some reason all their live videos are from Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yes, that is it! That is my "hometown" arena! I am about 23 rows back, directly in front of Geddy. God I love RUSH!!!! -Ronin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hey RoninQ, do you have the Replay DVD? A Show Of Hands performance from Birmingham, NEC (1989) is spectacular! The picture quality isn't as good as it could be (the video is from VHS era) but that setlist and performance... well what can I say. From rock musicians only King Crimson in their prime (ok maybe Zappa's band too) have performed at the same level (imho). They're still an amazing live band... one of the best, but not at the same level as they were back in HYF tour. Just imho. Marathon is perfection. ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> Prime Mover has to be one of the best prog/synth/power pop-songs ever recorded.

mjmurphy926 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yes, that is it! That is my "hometown" arena! Yep...Awesome venue!! I got married there. There is a chapel just outside the Amphitheater. Beautiful place!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 @By-Tor - yep I have the Replay DVD re-release. I agree the Show of Hands tour really stands out. The opening bass riff to Prime Mover is a personal favorite. I was however disappointed with the "Rush in Rio" DVD and CD. They were fine, but the audio recording quality does not seem up to par. I still need to pick up the Snakes and Arrows DVD. @mjmurphy926 - Great place to get married. -Ronin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005SUBMARINER Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 hey BT i just learned the lime light guitar solo , its pretty easy but i feel the preseance of the solo man i just keep playin it & playin it .. i never was too much into rush but those are great musicians .. thanx for the vids ...
