Also on November 17th, there will be a special screening by Planet Rock in London, UK. The event will be hosted by Rush Superfan Darren Redick at Planet Rock studios at 6pm.

The Rush: Time Stand Still documentary will be released on DVD/Blu-Ray on November 18th. In a new article, Rolling Stone reveal the “10 Things We Learned” from the doc.

One of the things they learned is that a tour with anything less than the three members of the classic lineup (Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Neil Peart) is unthinkable. They will never do a show without all three of them.

"It's not like you just get new members of a band and just go for it," says Lifeson. "Rush has never been a band like that. We'd never, ever do something like that." Adds Lee: "We always said that if the three of us aren't on board, we don't do a thing. There have been other decisions in our career where the three of us weren't on board and we didn't do it. Nothing as profound as ending our touring life, but fair enough. So one guy doesn't want to do that thing anymore that I love to do. That hurts. But there's nothing I can do about it and that's part of the agreement."

In a recent preview clip from Rolling Stone, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson share stories from their mid-Seventies tour with KISS in the documentary. Longtime lighting director Howard Ungerleider recalls that while on the road, Lifeson used to put a paper bag on his head and put his hands through his pants to entertain his bandmates and KISS guitarist Ace Frehley. He called his character “The Bag”.

"Bring the Bag over here," Lifeson says in a clip, doing an impression of Frehley in a high-pitched voice. "Howie, where's the Bag?" Lee echoes, referring to the band's lighting director. They would fool around, much to the consternation of KISS’ Gene Simmons. "Gene was very, very upset with the Bag," Lifeson recalls, "and that made Ace even happier."
