The band had recorded demo tapes for such songs as Tom Sawyer and Limelight earlier that summer in a converted farmhouse outside of Toronto. But the songs for the album were written and rehearsed months before that. Moving Pictures was recorded in December of 1980 at Le Studio in Montreal. The albums 2112 and All The World's A Stage, originally released in 1976, didn't go platinum until *after* the release of Moving Pictures, five years later. And its success sparked a renewal of interest in the band's earlier material. That's the highest position of any Rush album ever. Moving Pictures made it to number three in the Billboard album chart. And the one that finally did it for them, the album that secured their position as one of the world's biggest concert draws, was Moving Pictures - released in the spring of 1981. In fact, it took Rush eight albums to break into the limelight of mainstream success. Audiences are now used to hearing the sound of Geddy Lee's voice, Neil Peart's lyrics and complicated drumstrokes, Alex Lifeson's lightning guitar lines.
