RUSH's Geddy Lee And Alex Lifeson On VH-1's That Metal Show; Episode Now Available RUSH news site
Power Windows is reporting that the full episode of Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson's guest appearance on VH-1's That Metal Show is now available online at
this location.
As previously reported, Chilean newspapper El Mercurio is reporting that Rush is in negotiations to tour South America sometime late this year.
According to the report translated by
Rushisaband.com, "Chiliean television station Canal 13 got together with local producers and came to an agreement to bring the trio here in 2009. The venue hasn't been decided yet, but industry sources are sure that the Canadians' elevated price tag and strong drawing power in Chile will demand an arena capacity of more than 15,000. It's one of the most anticipated performances in recent memory. The arrival of the Canadian trio Rush has been one of the greatest unfulfilled promises of local megaevents and the confessed dream of an enormous community of devoted fans that grew up in the rock-and-roll virtuosity of the 70's. Despite often the multitude of rumors, the negotiations now offer solid evidence of progress.
Even the National Stadium has been considered. Chile's last game in World Cup qualifying is during the first week of October, and the stadium's availability and capacity both make it the best choice for the event. Other options would be the Pista Atlética (Sports Stadium) or the Club Hípico (Horse Track), which will host IRON MAIDEN on March 22. Furthermore, managers of Calle Blanco Encalada have organized a meeting in the next few days with executives of UC-TV - the same people that agreed to participate in QUEEN's recent show in November, produced by DG Medios.
Rush's tour through Latin America, which will also include Brazil and Argentina."
