Transcript: "Rush: Tom Sawyer" - Classic Rock, March 2011

"Tom Sawyer", Classic Rock, March 2011, is a short feature on the song which would be performed on the Time Machine tour as part of Moving Pictures (originally released 32 years ago today). Alex Lifeson discusses how the song developed, where and when it was recorded, and the band's relationship with the song's co-writer, Max Webster lyricist Pye Dubois: "Pye was a little mysterious - kind of a strange fellow! He was very quirky, a bit of a nut, but he did write great lyrics."

  1. I like hearing different live versions by RUSH of this song and check how it's evolved & adapted so well , also it has, along the years.

  2. Surprisingly, 'MP' is the one single album that , dare I say, is a bit redundant in my mind's ear as I have heard almost if not all 7 tracks played on indie radio stations since way back & Hemispheres 2112 Clockwork Angels Power Windows & Presto ; Caress Of Steel ; 'RUSH' all outdo it.
