RushFanForever Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) I am sure something similar to this has been posted on here in the past. Or maybe not. All Rush fans know that the videos for 'Tom Sawyer', 'Limelight' and 'Vital Signs' were recorded at Le Studio. They were filmed during breaks in the recording sessions for the songs where Geddy uses a different bass. I have to wonder if April Wine were using the correct instruments in their videos which were also filmed at Le Studio. . 'Before the Dawn' must have been recorded at night before dawn since in the video everything looks to be pitch black on the windows. The same dog that appears at the beginning of the 'Limelight' video, is also in 'I Like To Rock' near the end. There is another video that April Wine recorded at Le Studio for a song called 'Ladies Man'. However I can't find the video on YouTube. It is funny when Ricky of The Trailer Park Boys kidnaps Alex on the 'Closer To The Heart' episode. He then gives Alex a crappy guitar and tells him to play 'I Like To Rock'. Alex says that's April Wine. So there is the connection with the two bands. Both bands are Canadian and have recorded at Le Studio.

RushFanForever Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 With the subject of 'Le Studio' being discussed, I thought I'd posted the April Wine Le Studio video clips from 1979 initially, but didn't. Here they are below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
