Neil Peart - RIP

Yeah, I like both movies although Beyond The Lighted Stage is the far better one.

 

As much as I love Rush, I found the Time Stand Still one very underwhelming. Too much emphasis on a small number of fans. Beyond the Lighted Stage, on the other hand, was so damn good.

 

Yes. So so damn good. But the Jack Black parts are cringy.

 

He doesn't bother me, and his parts were pretty few and brief, IIRC.

 

True. Usually I like him. Its also surprising to me to see people like Reznor and Corgan were fans.

 

This! I couldn’t agree more. As bad as, if not worse than Caryn Elaine Johnson in the Beatles documentary. And that’s saying something. Wow.

 

Me too, but I was able to appreciate TSS as testament to the Rush fan base, more in-depth in that documentary.
As shocked and saddened as I was when we lost Jerry, and I’m still bothered by that to this day. Neal was even more shocking and in a way so unexpected. Almost two weeks later and I’m still so sad. This forum had been cathartic.

 

So has listening to the music and seeing him speak and reading his words.

 

Amen. It’s the reason I watched both Blu-ray documentaries which sat unopened in my library. And of course the music.
My heart breaks for Geddy and Alex.

 

and Olivia.

 

Very nice. Thanks for posting this.

 

R.I.P. Neil Peart

You were definitely one of a kind.
I will never forget your contributions to music and your ability to keep things on a human level, in spite of your success. Truly inspirational!

No joke, I think I've listened to Moving Pictures and more specifically, "The Camera Eye" about 100 hundred times over the past few days. I still marvel at it's majestic musical landscape. A masterpiece!

Bravo Neil!

 

Complete with ring wear! Love it

 

Not a big fan of Jack Black ... but, he did have a great line; to wit: "... and then I saw the Master, Neil Peart." 'Nuff said.

 

This is really wonderful, thank you!

 

I agree. Moving Pictures is one of the great masterpieces ever recorded. I’ve played the enter disc about 5 times in past two weeks. I have the 2011 remaster, MFSL gold, Blu-ray audio and DVD-Audio. It’s as fresh and relevant today as the day it was released. Masterpiece is an understatement.

 

Funny I think this is the first step away from the quality that led up to it. Obv they were stepping into new mainstream waters and that had broad appeal. For me the money is on the 2112-permanent waves era, with hemispheres being their unrivaled masterpiece. That said, the run from there thru grace under pressure is still masterful, by any standard

 

I think I see where you're coming from. My favourites from that era are 2112 and Farewell To Kings, but Hemispheres is up there too, no doubt. Thing is, so is Moving Pictures, despite the different style.

Fortunately for all of us, Rush never made a bad album. One can find favourites from beginning to end.

 

They lost me during the synth heavy years.

 

Me too...a little.

 

Me to at the time, I’ve since seen the error of my ways.

 

So much this. I've had the Rush tribute channel on XM running for my commuting over the last 10 days and the depth of texture in this band is outstanding.

 

It was my first tour and would absolutely love a professional release of the tour. I really hope when things calm down they release a ton of shows. My favorite release is the abbreviated grace under pressure tour video. They are at the height of their live performances. Neil was just a monster (temples of syrinx). So many fans just never saw them back then or haven't watched those videos.
