There isn't a directorial duo better equipped to profile Canada's famed power trio than compatriots Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen, the makers of Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. Insightful and entertaining, Beyond the Lighted Stage starts with the band's roots in working-class Ontario. Singer-bassist Geddy Lee, the son of Holocaust survivors, a self-described "nebbishy quiet kid," bonds with guitarist Alex Lifeson, the son of Yugoslav immigrants, over "this manic love for music," completing the lineup with "literate, opinionated" drummer Neil Peart (replacing John Rutsey). Getting gigs comes easy, but landing a record deal proves difficult until a Cleveland station takes a chance on "Working Man," and Mercury comes calling. The film proceeds oral-history style through the ensuing ups and downs: a tour with KISS (inspiring ribald comments from Gene Simmons), the making of classic records like Moving Pictures, the fashion faux pas, the personal tragedies, and the derision of critics versus the devotion of fans. Jack Black, one of several notable participants, praises their "deep reservoir of rocket sauce," while Metallica's Kirk Hammett proclaims them "the high priests of conceptual metal." They're also engaging conversationalists, and Dunn and McFadyen up the ante with home movies and early performances. The second disc offers additional live material and a look at a Rush convention. Old hands and new converts alike will find it hard to resist the true-life tale of three men who've stuck together through thick and thin, surviving and thriving where others have succumbed to petty squabbles and commercial pressures. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Relive the Rush turn on ! September 1, 2010
Scott M. Smith (Mansfield, Ohio, US)
This is a must have for the Rush fan or Rock and Roll collector. I recomend this DVD also to the fans of WMMS in Cleveland where it really all got big!
Very Good and Interesting August 31, 2010
Voltaire (El Paso,Texas,USA)
Wow! Very good documentary and of Rush to boot. Very riveting, we learned a lot about Rush and like/respect them even more than we did before watching this video.
Thanx Rush for the wonderful music in my childhood(late 70's, Farewell to Kings, etc) and for Witchhunt- my W. Bush song. There is no hope.
A must have for Rush Fans August 31, 2010
Brian Fisher (Tempe, AZ United States)

A must see for any Rush fan August 30, 2010
Mark the Traveler (Boston)
This is a great documentary that chronicles the beginning of Rush. With early footage, lots of interviews and great editing we really get to see the members of Rush as real people, and not as people on a lighted stage... this is a must see for any Rush fan.
Rush is the Greatest August 27, 2010
Ken Thiel (New River, AZ United States)
Great way to get to know the boys better. Gives some good insight into the band and how they work. This DVD is very well done.
