[B] _ _ _ [E] Hi, _ Alex from Rush.
[B] _ _ We're listening to Limelight _ from Moving [G#m] Pictures, _ which is _ _ [B] _ _ [A] 40 years old now?
_ No.
[E] Is it really?
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] No.
[B] _ _ [A] It feels like 40 years, [B] but I think it's been about 30 years.
[G#] No, it's been about 35 years.
[B] No, _ _ [E] it's actually _ [F#] 31 years.
[E] No, is it?
36 [B] years?
Anyways, it was a long [G#] time ago that we wrote this [F#] record.
_ _ _ _ [A] And this song, I think, is probably one of my [G] favorites from it.
Really enjoyed [B] recording it.
_ _ [Fm] _
[A#] I can [A] remember being at the studio.
_ _ It was winter, very cold winter, as they all are in _ [G#] _ Quebec.
_ _ [F#] _
But I do remember sitting in the [G#] control room, working on this song during the day with the sun outside and all the snow.
[F#] _ _ [F] _ _ [G#m] _ And particularly [G] _ _ the lead.
But we'll come to that when that part [E] comes. _ _ _ _ _
[B] We were [G#] there _ _ in_
We started in December of _ _ _ _ 1980.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [F#] _ And _ [G#m] it _
_ [E] _ [B] was such a great [G] vibe making [E] this record.
We had so much fun.
Everybody was in a great space.
_ [G] We'd done [G#m] most of the writing [B] _
_ _ in [G#] the summer, [F#] so we were well prepared.
We were well rehearsed.
We actually shot the videos for _ [E] _ all [F#] these songs _ there at the studio, [B] _
which sadly has been abandoned and is derelict now.
[F] All the windows are smashed, doors [E] ripped off.
It's [Fm] really a sad thing to [F#] see.
_ So many great memories. _ _ _
[E] _ Of course, I [F] can't remember any of them right [G#m] now. _
_ [B] It _ _ _ _ was [E] _ a lot of fun.
_ [G#m] _ _
_ I'm stalling now [F#] because we're coming up to the solo _ after this [E] _ chorus.
_ [A] And I remember recording the solo because we had speakers set up [E] outside to catch [F#] the _ delays and some [E] echo. _ _ _
[F#] I used my Hentor, _ I believe, [E] _ _ [G] for a lot of the song [C#] and my _ [F#] 355 for all of you _ [G#m] gearheads.
_ _ _ _ _ _ I [F#] really am proud of this solo. _ _ _
It [F#m] was done in about _ [E] _ five or six [F#] takes.
_ _ _ And we did a [G] compilation of those takes to [E] arrive at what we have.
[B] _
[A] But what [G#m] really _ _ _ _
[E] moves me about this solo [F#] is its _ _ lonely character, which really fits the mood and tone of the lyrics that [E] Neil wrote about this song.
_ [F] _ _ [B]
It's a very elastic [Fm] kind of solo.
[G#m] It just moves around and _ [G] the delays cascade [F] and overlap.
[E] _ _ _ And it ends _ at a very high _ point, literally a high point, [G] very high on the [F#] E string at the top of [G#m] the _
[E] neck.
_ _ _ So it's a very [F#] dynamic go.
[G#] _ The song structurally [F#] is _ typical of a [G#m] verse chorus, verse chorus, middle section, which is the [F#] solo, and then the outro choruses _
[Fm] that keep building and building as you go.
[F#] _
I think it was a really emotional [E]
song for all of us to [F#] do.
_ And playing it live [G#] for all these years [G] has been a real [F#] treat.
_ _ One of my [G#m] favorites, we opened a [E] couple of tours with it, _ [F#] _ [G#] which was a nice way to start _ [F#] all things considered, [G#m] because you're playing in front of thousands of people.
_ _ _ [G#] Anyways, that was Limelight. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ Hi, Alex here. _ _
No, _ I'm Gady Lee.
_ And I [Em] can say whatever I want to you.
_ _ This song, _ [G#] we had a video done [E] for the tour, for [A] the live _ _ [D] _ presentation.
The fly, and anybody that ever saw us would [C] know about this, but I'll kind of demonstrate it.
So at [F#] one point in the song, which I can't [C] remember where it happened, _ we had 24 [F] flashbacks.
So you go, bomb, [C] bomb, [B] bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb.
It all happened like [C] within, I don't know, five seconds it was all
