If you get Comedy Central, watch The Colbert Report tonight!

Rush is going to perform "Tom Sawyer" on The Colbert Report tonight (Comedy Central, 11:30pm EST), which will be their first performance on U.S. tv since 1975.

I hope they get a good chunk of time to actually play the whole song without Colbert joining them to sing.

[Shorty]

Oh wow, no way.

I remember hearing about this before but completely forgot about it. Looking forward to it

My question is why would they do something this big on the colbert report. Something inside me thinks its not true but im still going to watch it. I am really looking forward to this.

How is it not true? It's a scheduled appearance, it's not like it's going to be a big thing where Colbert is trying to fool everyone.

O__o

[DMN in the House]

I'd watch, but I hate Rush. Plus, Deadsy does 'Tom Sawyer' better anyway.

*runs*

[MDP]

The only good thing about Rush is Neil Peart.

[Hellfire]

I don't care about Rush, but I watch the Colbert Report pretty much every night anyways.

The only good thing about Rush is Neil Peart.

I'll give you Geddy, since he has his haters for whatever reason, but what's wrong with Alex Lifeson?

[MDP]

Not to say there's anything wrong with Lifeson or Geddy, I'm just not a fan. I think where Peart has made his name as one of the best drummers ever, they just don't impress me.

[slain]

Was it any good?

I didn't get to see it. I LOVE Rush.

Damn those guys at YouTube are quick pulling shit.

[apsham]

You can still find the interview and performance, but I'll be damned, we lost the awesome. "Tonight Rush is in the studio, either that or a drum factory exploded in my studio." line, as well as Limelight replacing the theme song.

You can see the show on Hulu.com, so... GO!
