In Their Own Words...

"Rush was ready for its close-up in Cleveland. So were 14,000-plus overjoyed fans who packed The Q for a sold-out performance Friday night by their favorite three-headed rock monster. The show was filmed for an upcoming DVD release. 'Thank you, Cleveland, Ohio,' a beaming Lee said at the end of the night. 'Best! Audience! Ever! We appreciate it so much.' The concert DVD could be out by the end of this year, Lee said in a recent interview." - Cleveland.com, April 16, 2011

"'We realized after all these years that we've shot films in all these different locations. But we've never really shot an entire film in America. We thought, 'Well, that's just wrong.' So where do we want to shoot? And it dawned on me that it was appropriate to shoot in Cleveland, where our entire American adventure began.' The band got its big break here in 1974, when Donna Halper, a disc jockey and music director at WMMS FM/100.7, added the Rush song 'Working Man' to the influential radio station's playlist. 'I don't think we would've had a record deal if it hadn't been for Donna Halper at WMMS playing 'Working Man' and some other songs from our first album,' said Lee." - Cleveland.com, April 15, 2011 [Webmaster note: this story states that Rush's first show in the US was in June 74 at Cleveland's Allen Theater. This is false: Rush's first US show was May 18, 1974, at the North Side Drive-In in Lansing, Michigan.]

"Cleveland was hugely important for us, because up until we were embraced there, we were just basically a bar band in Toronto,' said Lifeson during a phone interview with Yahoo! from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. 'We were on the Southern Ontario high school dance circuit and doing clubs. 'To come to America was such a huge deal, and to come to Cleveland - with its rich connections and rock music heritage and be embraced by the city and crowd there - it really was a really great experience for us. It all started for us in Cleveland and the city has a giant place in our hearts.' So much so, in fact, that Lifeson and his bandmates are bringing their current 'Time Machine World Tour' to Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena this Friday, April 15 and will be filming the entire performance for a full-length DVD concert release...'It couldn't be more appropriate to be doing the DVD in Cleveland. I can't tell you the number of gigs we played at the Agora when we were starting out,' Lifeson said. 'I definitely remember those gigs! The genuine interest in the band was amazing, the place was always packed and we were on that little stage playing our hearts out. When I close my eyes as a guy who calls himself 'forty-seventeen' (57 years old) now, I can still see myself us there playing and miss the skinny, sweaty long-haired guitar guy who was up on stage!' he laughed." - Yahoo.com, April 14, 2011
