Classic Albums: 2112\/Moving Pictures <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

[Eagle Vision]<\/p>\n

Most editions of the sterling Classic Albums<\/em> series examine in detail the creation of a\u2014you guessed it\u2014classic album with the help of the musicians, producers and engineers who made it. So why does Rush\u2019s first entry in the series cover two albums? Certainly, both 1976\u2019s 2112<\/em> and 1981\u2019s Moving Pictures <\/em>represent turning points in the band\u2019s career\u2014but so do several other albums. Jamming the two albums together short shrifts both, as each is deserving of a documentary of its own. That gripe addressed, what we have here is a feast of insights for Rush fans. Bass player Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart are articulate in describing the making of these albums, from the group\u2019s state of mind at the time down to the nitty-gritty particulars of each song addressed. 2112<\/em> found Rush pushing forward with long-form concept pieces despite its label\u2019s misgivings, its determination reflected in Peart\u2019s lyrics about the struggle to preserve individuality and clarity of purpose. Moving Pictures<\/em>, with its more radio-ready arrangements and structures, catapulted the group into the mainstream with hits like \u201cTom Sawyer\u201d and \u201cLimelight.\u201d A wealth of information about both albums is in the program, and continues in almost an hour\u2019s worth of interesting outtakes. The extras conclude with the group running through its touchstone instrumental \u201cYYZ,\u201d demonstrating with a flourish that it hasn\u2019t lost a bit of the spring in its step since these albums were first laid down. \u2013CN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
