I was just thinking about that this morning, how there’s the studio albums and the live shows, but I didn’t remember if the documentaries had been mentioned. Beyond the Lighted Stage is indeed excellent. Their other one, Time Stand Still, is also good, detailing their last tour. It’s not quite up to Stage’s level, I think, plus there’s a bit of a foreboding tone of sadness to it, but still worth a watch.
It’s funny. I was listening to Clockwork Angels this morning since this whole discussion has prompted me to revisit the band. Wish Them Well had just finished, and the opening bass line and strings from The Garden started up, and then I suddenly had to stop what I was doing. Like this wave of emotion came over me and I gradually started crying. It was as if the realization hit me that this was it for Rush. The last song I’d hear of their career. Great music always leaves you wanting more. Rush certainly is no exception.
