Toronto-based power trio Rush was formed in 1968 by guitarist Alex Lifeson, bassist and singer Geddy Lee, and drummer John Rutsey; the band made their way through the Canadian bar scene until they signed a recording deal and released their self-titled debut album in 1974. However, it wasn't until Rutsey left the group and Neil Peart signed on as their new drummer that Rush's signature sound took shape, a muscular variation on progressive rock marked by the keen instrumental prowess of all three members and the lyrically and musically adventurous songwriting of Peart. With little help from the music press or mainstream radio, Rush grew into a commercial powerhouse, releasing a long string of multi-platinum albums and playing sold-out shows in North America and Europe. A notoriously reclusive band, Rush offer their fans a rare and intimate behind-the-scenes look into their music and their career in the documentary Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage, which features exclusive interviews with the members of the group and footage of them on- and off-stage as well as contributions from a number of famous fans -- from Kirk Hammett of Metallica and Gene Simmons of KISS to Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and actor and musician Jack Black. Directed by Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn, Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage received its world premiere at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Combining the adventurous style of progressive sounds with the muscle of hard rock, Uriah Heep were one of the definitive British rock bands of the 1970s, and this concert video, recorded during an appearance at a music festival in New Jersey in the fall of 2002, shows that the group can still deliver the goods on-stage. Featuring a lineup featuring founding member Mick Box and veteran sidemen Lee Kerslake, Trevor Bolder, Bernie Shaw, and Phil Lanzon, Uriah Heep: Live in the USA includes the songs "Easy Livin'," "Look at Yourself," "The Magician's Birthday," "Return to Fantasy," "The Wizard," "Rainbow Demon," and many more. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Veteran British hard rock group Uriah Heep has seen more than their share of ups and down over the course of a career that's spanned four decades, but this live video, shot in 2000 during a concert in London, finds the band alive, well, and playing at the top of their form. Uriah Heep: The Legend Continues features 20 songs, including "Easy Livin'," "Look at Yourself," "Between Two Worlds," "Land of Hope," and "Sweet Freedom." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Sometime in the late 1980s, the rigorous morality of Soviet social doctrine had unbent sufficiently to allow the first rock 'n roll festival to be held in the USSR, but not so much as to allow Western journalists to cover the event. Instead, authorities permitted a documentary team from nearby Finland to cover the proceedings of Rockpanorama, a seven-day event featuring over four-dozen home-grown rock bands. In interviews, a lot of the musicians respond in English to questions about the significance of this music form. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
