The Canadian group Rush had been together for more than a decade, quietly building a following here in the US, when they released "Moving Pictures" in 1981. Drummer-songwriter Neil Peart composed all of the tracks, including "Limelight", which illustrated the frustrations of being in the spotlight.
When MTV arrived on the scene a few months later, they opted to use a concert clip for "Limelight", and I have no memory of seeing this conceptual clip before today.
In memory of Peart, 67, who passed away due to a brain tumor.
