EST. I'll be home for the 8:30 showing then. Is it Comedy Central? Yes it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I LOVED all of the references during the first part of the show; i.e., when the logo popped up during "The Word" segment and the "By-Tor & The Snowdog" reference after the 1st break! So much better than if they'd done Letterman, or Leno, or any of the dumb-ass music vid shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Quixote Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 The tone on Alex's guitar was much cleaner last night - it sounded very good. After a couple of behind camera angles...it was clear that they could have played "I Think I'm Going Bald" - Alex has a huge bald patch now! Ged is clearly dying his hair!

EmotionDetector Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I won't complain about it... When they first went to commercial during TS, I immediately had two thoughts: 1) WTF?? How can they cut Rush off in the middle of a performance? 2) There is going to be a huge uproar on the TRF!! Well, I was right! Haha...although once the show came back on, and TS continued from where they left off, I realized it was nothing more than a play on the joke of their epic songs! Sure, I'd love to have seen the full performance happen. But I look at it this way, they plugged the band all throughout the show. They had a sit down interview with ALL 3 of the boys! They all shared some jokes, they all laughed alot, and Tom Sawyer sounded incredible in the studio! My only little problem with the show is when they Colbert was plugging S&A, but showing the live album! I really wish he had either held up the actual S&A album, or better yet, have both in his hands, and plug the two at once! Either way...it's all good. BTW...Geddy's vocals sounded killer!!

The show was funny and Rush's performance was the best. The guys seem to have a really good sense of humor. Neil is such a camera hog. Go figure. The shy one who doesn't like a lot of attention. You couldn't shut him up during the interview! That was great. Alex looked phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the sound was pretty damn good, albeit it was on my little 25" TV and not the surround sound. I thought the sound was fine as well.

snowdog2112 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 QUOTE If your not outraged that Rush was cut off, I cant understand why ? These Guys are legend, have not done American TV in 30+ years and this the respect they get ? What total crap. When he walked out on the set at the climax of the song, I was like. "Get the f**k off the set asshole, what are you stupid ?" Im sorry but if it was Pink Floyd, The Who, U2, The Stones, etc, that sure as hell would not have happened. Its to bad they did not choose to perform on a show with some class. They did not deserve Rush. I'll bet the shows producer, who loves the band is mortified after that. I appreciate your passion but holy crap this is misguided. The only thing that would mortify me is if Comedy Central receives a bunch of e-mails like this from Rush fans. This is embarrassing. The whole show was a Rush lovefest and the band was clearly having a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 In my 30+ years of being a rush fan, this show is pretty near at the top of my favorite rush experiences!

Merely Space Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Just watched it the second time. Priceless! Such a Rush love fest. Wasn't expecting so much Rush, just the song. All the early mentions, and the interview were a delightful bonus. I think Colbert was trying to pretend to not be that in to them being there, but he was so excited it just showed. And the audience was definitely into them as well. They have to feel good about themselves after all that love. Neil looked like an excited little kid during the interview. Last night, I was taken aback by the interruption of the song. But watching it again, I am convinced they were in on the gag. They were all smiling ear to ear when he jumped in.

ReRushed Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 According to Rush is a Band, Rush will be on The Colbert Report again tonight! QUOTE Reader brmperc was lucky enough to attend the taping of the show and tells me that Rush will also be on tonight's show for a few seconds; not sure in what capacity as of yet, but I assume it'll be some taped clip that they'll incorporate into one of their comedy bits.

Cygnus The God Of Balance Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 QUOTE (mfratt @ Jul 16 2008, 11:33 PM) Yea, I wansn't exactly expecting to see them come out with The Fountain of Lamneth or anything, but why Tom Sawyer? I'd figure Limelight, Subdivisions, Freewill, Far Cry, etc. Hmmmm....well let's see....it's been 33 years since they were on TV and I'd have to say that Tom Sawyer is the biggest, mass appeal song in Rush's library, so it would only stand to reason that they would play that. They did play a snippet of Limelight and Anthem during the show...and how 'bout By-Tor & The Snowdog on the teleprompter. Sweet. I thought it was awesome...
