RUSH: Time Machine (2011)

In "RUSH: Time Machine 2011", we're transported to a vibrant evening in Cleveland, where the legendary Rush takes the stage, breathing life into their most successful and cherished album, 'Moving Pictures'. As the sounds of this 4x Platinum album reverberate through the city, we're treated to the raw, live renditions of classic hits such as "Tom Sawyer," "Limelight," and the Grammy-nominated instrumental "YYZ." Captured in the throes of their extensive world tour in April 2011, this marks Rush's debut live concert filming in the United States. The choice of Cleveland is steeped in nostalgia and gratitude – a heartfelt homage to the city that first played their songs on its airwaves. This decision honors the significant role of former WMMS DJ Donna Halper, who famously championed the band in 1974 with the airplay of "Working Man." This very song, reinterpreted for the live audience, brings the Time Machine tour to a resounding close, and is featured in this mesmerizing release. Yet, the magic of "RUSH: Time Machine 2011" doesn't end with the music. It also gives us a glimpse into Rush's notorious concept tour videos, including the intriguing short film "The 'Real' History of Rush Episode No. 2 'Don't Be Rash'," and the riveting second set video, "The 'Real' History of Rush Episode No. 17 '...and Rock and Roll is My Name.'"
