Limelight: Rush in the '80s
Part two of the definitive biography of the rock n roll kings of the North covering Rushs most iconic and popular albums, Moving Pictures and Power WindowsIncludes two full-color photo inserts, with 16 pages of the band on tour and in the studioIn the follow-up to Anthem: Rush in the 70s, Martin Popoff brings together canon analysis, cultural context, and extensive firsthand interviews to celebrate Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart at the peak of their persuasive power. Rush was one of the most celebrated hard rock acts of the 80s, and the second book of Popoffs staggeringly comprehensive three-part series takes readers from Permanent Waves to Presto, while bringing new insight to Moving Pictures, their crowning glory. Limelight: Rush in the 80s is a celebration of fame, of the pushback against that fame, of fortunes made and spent
In the latter half of the decade, as Rush adopts keyboard technology and gets pert and poppy, theres an uproar amongst diehards, but the band finds a whole new crop of listeners. Limelight charts a dizzying period in the bands career, built of explosive excitement but also exhaustion, a state that would lead, as the 90s dawned, to the band questioning everything they previously believed, and each member eying the oncoming decade with trepidation and suspicion.
