Rush- 2112- 50th Anniversary- Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson

"2112"  by Rush was an amalgam of hard rock, progressive rock, science-fiction and Ayn Rand socio-economics right about the same time that The Ramones, The Dead Boys, and Ian Dury and the Blockheads were singing "Sex and Drugs and Rock'n'Roll". So things were about to get interesting in 1976. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush join me here In the Studio on "2112" golden anniversary.

"Music was changing," Rush lead singer/composer Geddy Lee tells us in this In the Studio  episode, and without Lee, guitarist/composer Alex Lifeson, and drummer/lyricist the late Neil Peart embracing the fresh musical ideas in the crosswinds of the early Eighties on "Moving Pictures" with songs "Tom Sawyer","Red Barchetta","Limelight", "Vital Signs", and "Witch Hunt", it is doubtful that a path to mainstream success would have been cleared for later major bands...

Rush- Grace Under Pressure- Neil Peart

When revisiting the Rush April 1984 release "Grace Under Pressure", I had to double-check the math. Could "Grace Under Pressure", in my mind that mid-period transitional album for the Toronto-based trio, really have been their tenth studio album in as many years? The late Neil Peart of Rush discussed it all on opening night of the "Grace Under Pressure" 1984 tour.

Rush- Counterparts- Alex Lifeson

Rush "Counterparts" in October 1993 was a #2 Billboard magazine album sales debut, Rush's highest American appeal since "Moving Pictures" over a decade earlier. Rush guitarist/co-writer Alex Lifeson is In the Studio for "Counterparts".
