CNN's John Roberts reports:
"I’ve always wanted – but never had the chance – to attend Rock And Roll Fantasy camp. That’s where my buddies from RUSH came to the rescue. For the very first time, they allowed a guest – I won’t even use the word ‘artist’ – to join them on stage.For four minutes, I lived the dream so many Rush fans have had – to play with three guys consistently rated among the top purveyors of their craft the world over.
I’ve received notes today from many guitarists who shuttered themselves in their room for days learning parts to '2112', 'La Villa Strangiato', 'Red Barchetta', 'Closer To The Heart' and other Rush classics.
To the men and women out there who are undoubtedly far more proficient on guitar than this humble correspondent, I wish you the opportunity to one day join your heroes in song.
We played all of 'Limelight' together, but for purposes of morning TV, we had to narrow it down to :45 seconds. Three-quarters of a minute I will never forget..!"
In the video below, Roberts goes backstage with RUSH and talks with all three members about their illustrious 40-year career:
