Rush is playing on the Colbert Report tonight

First TV appearance in 30 years, they say. They're doing Tom Sawyer, natch!

Tom Sawyer had GREAT drumming

[megoscott]

Pretty much every Rush song has great drumming, doesn't it?

Getty Lee, what a musician. He plays bass and keyboards for them and sings to top it off. Very talented.

Very cool , actually watched it at work (didn't see the thread yesterday). Colbert was hilarious, but watching him butcher the end was a bit painful. Would have been nice to have had a complete performance. The bit about their not being in the R&R HoF (or even nominated) despite their amazing longevity and success just reminds me how much of a joke that whole thing is. I guess that is one thing they have in commonj with KISS.
