Backstage Secrets: On The Road With The Rock Band Rush






Backstage Secrets: On The Road With The Rock Band Rush Feature


  • Five Episodes on Two Discs
  • Much better quality video than earlier release


Backstage Secrets: On The Road With The Rock Band Rush Overview


Re-released - replicated DVD with better quality video. This is not a DVD on Demand version.

Go behind the scenes to get a backstage look at what it takes to present the legendary band RUSH during the 2008 Snakes & Arrows Concert Tour. It may appear to be one of the most exciting and glamorous jobs in the world - but being a roadie with a top-rated world-famous rock and roll band can be a grueling marathon of 18 hour work days, on an easy day. A bad is actually a couple of days, 40 hours spent hauling gear, assembling huge stacks of speakers, lifting them a hundred feet in the air, tuning instruments for demanding musicians and being cut off from every lover, friend and relative you have.

This series takes you to the show you never see when you take your seat for a concert by the legendary band RUSH. All the backstage secrets are revealed.

This DVD includes 5 parts on two discs including:
Part 1: Sound
Sure it sounds easy. Turn on some speakers and listen to the show. Well, it's a lot more complicated than that.
Part 2: Lights
You don't buy a ticket to hear a rock show; you buy a ticket to see a rock show. Lighting sets the mood for each song.
Part 3: Instrument Technicians
One of the most demanding and stressful jobs on the road is the instrument technician.
Part 4: Lighting and Video
Let's face it, not every seat is in the front row, but everyone pays for a ticket. That means someone has to make sure everyone gets a good look at the band. So each concert is also a television show broadcast on a 50 foot screen.
Part 5: Road Manager
One person has to make sure the whole thing works, every night in every city. The road manager is the conductor of this huge orchestration.

Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time







Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time Overview


The longest-running, most successful partnership in the history of rock takes flight anew, as legendary Rock And Roll Hall of Fame inductees Carlos Santana and Clive Davis collaborate on the brand new concept album, GUITAR HEAVEN: THE GREATEST GUITAR CLASSICS OF ALL TIME. The album was co-produced by Carlos Santana and Clive Davis with tracks produced by Matt Serletic and Howard Benson.

Working from their collective encyclopedic knowledge of rock, Carlos Santana and Clive Davis devised a list of guitar-centric titles and then invited a Who s Who of guest vocalists to perform on every track. Singers range from Chris Cornell (on Led Zeppelin s Whole Lotta Love ), Pat Monahan (on Van Halen s Dance the Night Away ), Chester Bennington and Ray Manzarek (on The Doors Riders on the Storm ), Rob Thomas (on Cream s Sunshine Of Your Love), Scott Weiland (on the Rolling Stones Can t You Hear Me Knockin ), Chris Daughtry (on Def Leppard s Photograph ), Gavin Rossdale (on T. Rex s Bang A Gong ) to rapper Nas (on AC/DC s Back In Black ), veteran Joe Cocker (on Jimi Hendrix s Little Wing ), and more.

A very special dedication to George Harrison comes together on GUITAR HEAVEN..., with While My Guitar Gently Weeps, featuring singer india.arie and master cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Listening to the song, Olivia Harrison told Carlos, it made me jump for joy and cry at the same time.
DVD includes the making of Guitar Heaven and an interview with Carlos Santana and Clive Davis.
