Rush play Rock Band (the game)

Before Rush played "Tom Sawyer" on the Colbert Report, they accepted a challenge to play the same song on Rock Band. Let's just say the results are surprising. Thanks to Colbert Nation for posting and Rushisaband.com for the head's up!

Rush to make rare TV performance on Colbert on Wed, July 16, 11:30 p.m. EST

You can now watch the entire show on the Comedy Central website.

According to the article:

The Canadian band Rush, which hasn't performed on U.S. television in more than three decades, will play their classic "Tom Sawyer" on the Comedy Central show Wednesday (11:30 p.m. EST). The Geddy Lee-led trio, which is currently on tour, hasn't played on U.S. television since 1975.

Rush is only the latest act to perform on "The Report," which has steadily edged closer to "Ed Sullivan Show" territory. With increasingly frequent musical performances, "The Report" has grown a variety-show impulse, evident in other upcoming bookings.
