While the set has already reached triple-platinum status, you can see what Fumo is raving about as VH1 Classic salutes the band this coming weekend, as they present the U.S. television premiere of Rush - R30, the concert performance from the band's sold-out 30th Anniversary World Tour, starting on January 13.
Rush R-30 will air Friday, January 13 at 9 pm, Saturday, January 14 at 10 am and 10 pm and Sunday, January 15 at 9 am and 9 pm EST.
In addition, VH1 Classic will air encore presentations of Hangin' With
Rush, featuring in-studio interviews with band members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson discussing the Frankfurt concert, new album and their plans for 2006 and how they were paid only ten dollars for their first performance as a band in a church basement in 1968.
Hangin' With Rush will air Friday, January 13 at 3 pm and 3 am and
Saturday, January 14 at 9 am and 9 pm EST.

El Bicho,
Dude... What a great review!!I watched this DVD at my brother's place.. We should all pay homage to such a brilliant band! Especially one that has been together for 30 years. They inspired me tremendously with "Manhattan Project" and "Ghost of a Chance" and probably inspired the "Original" trio,Cream,to get back together after all these years...
I just found Winamp's Internet Station,"RUSH Radio" and they played "Summertime Blues". What a cool cover.... Anyways, Great Review!!
Cheers...

LISTEN UP FOLKS!!!
if ever my mad peckings have made you grin, provoked your Ire, made you Think , or forced you to look something up...
do me one Favor...
at least watch and listen to this broadcast on VH-1 Classic
IMO, these 3 men have won the Rock band Contest...for over 30 years they have pursued their Art and the true Objectivist Ethic of Craft
more true living Icons of the principles in the Fountainhead(especially compared to the love struck speed freak who wrote it)...these men have relentlessly pursued the pilgimage of their Art, honing the tools fo their chosen Craft...and earned their "bread" with uncompromising adherence to their Principles
and it's DAMN fine Music too!!
many bands since the creation of electric Music have come and gone....and very few are in this League
no matter what "style" of Music moves you, if you watch and listen, you will be moved inside
they stand as an abject Lesson to the younger generations of what is Possible when you follow your Muse and Work at it
they stand as an abject Lesson to those who have stepped aside and come back, to what they should strive for...having Fun while performing and giving your All to the Audience
they stand as an abject Lesson to us All, for what is Possible in our Lives, when we hold to our Ethic for the sheer Joy of it
they stand as an abject Lesson to any Artist, you CAN create and make your living from the fruit of your Spirit
the times of the shows are listed in the Post, again, i urge you all to try it at my Asking if at all possible
thanks, El Bicho
Excelsior!
