I'm posting this here because I seem to remember there are some fellow Rush fans in our midst. There's a screening of a new and highly acclaimed documentary on the band in theaters nationwide on June 10th. One theater in Denver and one in Colo. Springs will be playing it that night, and tickets are on sale now. Get 'em before they're gone!
Details here: Rush - Beyond the Lighted Stage

Thanks Todd, but I'm seeing the real deal at Red Rocks in August....3rd show since '07... to be mesmerized by the impeccable timing of one Mr. Peart.

Me, too, Christopher, but with tix only $10, why make it either/or? This doc should be a real trip down memory lane with a band I first saw live in 1976. I've only missed one Colorado appearance (R30 at Red Rocks), but traveled twice to see them in SLC and Wichita in '84, since their "Grace Under Pressure" tour didn't come to Colorado. For a band that's been fairly private over the decades, I think the movie could be very enlightening and entertaining.

Pam, I said a RUSH documentary, not a group called Olbermann!

Sweet. I'm sure I won't get out to see the flick, since a trip to the movies is pretty rare for me these days. But I did just "save" it on the old Netflix queue.

Wish I could make it to Red Rocks to see 'em live. I've been a Rush fan since my high school days in the 80's, when I was rockin' a mullet. I doubt our little theater here in Moab will show the movie. I'll have to rent it on Blu-Ray some day.

Has anyone seen this? It's been playing on cable for at least the last few days. Saw it in HD on Palladia. Excellent documentary. Think I'll have to pick up the DVD, too.
