Moving Pictures - Rush Tribute - Scotland

The band were excellent! Consumate musicianship and very good vocals. My fave this time was La Villa Strangiato. Simply sublime perfection! The audience seemed not to get too involved until half way through the set at Tom Sawyer. Slight downside for me was the late start (after 9pm) and late end - almost midnight. Some fans including me had to leave early...alas. Perhaps indicating well in advance of future RUSHfests ,when MP are likely to start will help. Roll on. September 27th in The Garage in Glasgow! Ta!

Rescheduled from the night of Storm Oewyn, to a bizarre Sunday matinee performance instead. I probably wasn't the only one unsure how that might pan out, especially upon arrival at the advertised 3pm time to find the shutters on The Bungalow fully down and a small but perfectly formed queue outside. So apparently Moving Pictures were actually starting at 4pm and all was well. Recovering from recent leg surgery, I hobbled in on my crutches into what appeared to be the only seat/table combo that didn't have a reserved label on it. These spots are sometimes advertised as 'limited view'. In this case it was 'no view' whatsoever. Not to worry, I've seen these guys countless times and other than the stunning vision that is Jamie on drums, ears are more important than eyes here ;-) Announcing a 'sort of' R40 set, featuring career highlights played in reverse order. We started a backwards traverse starting with the good stuff, ending several hours later with the really good stuff. Not being fortunate enough, or should I say 'old enough' to have seen Rush live at The Glasgow Apollo during those halcyon days of 2112 tours or Farewell To Kings, Moving Pictures never fail to transport me back in time to a feeling that must closely resemble what it must have been like had I been there, head to toe in denim with a large 2112 Starman patch stitched across my back ? I started attending Rush gigs around the Hold Your Fire tour in '87, and as much as I saw them loads, I really craved that authentic 70's era vibe. First half a splendid array of various cuts from Clockwork Angels all the way back to (was it ?) Permanent Waves or maybe that one kicked off part two ? But that second half 'festival of all things 70's Rush' that followed was what I'd come to see..ahem... "hear". As any Rush aficionado knows, that shit ain't easy to play. So to hear these three, two blokes and one girl, churn this stuff out with the greatest of ease, was simply fantastic. 10/10 fav: Xanadu.

Third time I’ve seen the band and the best yet. Amazing reaction from a packed Bungalow,. During Spirit of Radio the crowd singing the ‘Concert Hall’ line nearly raised the roof! A proper , old school , sweat drenched gig. The happy faces on the all the punters leaving told their own story. Fish, whom I like as well, was playing at the venue a little later on. I wouldn’t like to have been in his shoes trying to follow a show like that. Can’t wait until they’re back in the area for Rushfest in May. To any Rush fans who’ve not experienced Moving Pictures yet, they’re a must see . Early phase, latter Phase, classic crowd pleasers and deep cuts. They play the lot with an intensity and expertise only true disciples can achieve. The Apollo’s Glasgow Chorus from All the World’s a Stage even got a name check( we were there as well). I was happy , hoarse and more than a little deaf when I got home, an afternoon most well spent indeed. G, Prestwick

Made to feel very welcome by the staff & security. They helped me to get my wheelchair into the venue. My wife & I were sitting stage right which suited me as a former professional drummer. The atmosphere was superb. When Moving Pictures - A Rush Tribute Band entered the stage, they didn't disappoint their fans or the reputation they have accrued over the last few years. The band played a wide selection of most loved Rush tracks from their exemplary 40 years of touring and producing some of the most iconic progressive rock music ever. Moving Pictures are a three piece band from Scotland. Steve, Eoin and the drummer Jamie who is one of the most precise drummers I have had the pleasure of discovering over the last 50+ years of my own drumming career as a session recording musician. Putting it bluntly, Moving Pictures - A Rush Tribute are in my opinion the best tribute act of it's kind. They appeal to not just Rush fans, but to anyone who can appreciate good music and a brilliant 2+ hours any day of the week. May they return to Norwich asap.

I never got the chance to see Rush but I loved their music. Moving Pictures were the next best thing and what a show they put on. It was an awesome night and I look forward to seeing them again. Waterloo Music Bar is a fantastic venue and a great place to hear live music. It's well worth a visit.

Absolutely amazing show. If you're a Rush fan, you'll know how perfectly these three virtuoso musicians play the material. Very tight and sound exactly like Lee, Lifeson and Peart. Would happily go to their shows over and over again. Really nice people, too. My advice, go and see them as soon and as often as you can. Hey Presto....they're magic!

I saw "Moving Pictures" at the Tivoli in WImborne on Thursday, 28th November 2024. This was the first time I'd seen them and I have to say, I was shocked at how good they were. I've seen so many tribute bands that claim to offer a sound that is "just as good as the real thing", but this band did exactly that. Truly the best tribute band I have ever seen. As always, the Wimborne Tivoli was a great vebue to see them. Fantastic evening! I can't wait for the band to return.

Didn't realise how much I had missed hearing these songs live until watching MP.... what a treat! Covering the extensive catalogue as best you can in 2.5hrs or so, we had Exit... Stage Left and a whole lot more, the band enjoying the evening as much as us echoing our hero's. Show me, don't tell me you may cry! Go see 'em, and it's R50 next year?

Really enjoyed the evening. Great venue and the band played a really good mix of songs, many of them my faves! They were also really interactive with audience. Hoping they come to Dorset again next year as would definaltey see them again!!

A great gig, the band played all the tracks from Exit Stage Left, plus many others. They really got the crowd going. Its my second time of seeing them, and they didn't disappoint. I'll be there next time too.

I enjoyed it very much - a remarkable performance from all three in the band. That music isn’t easy to learn and play, I’m sure! Their obvious pleasure and the fun they were having as they performed added to the show. The young girl who played the support slot was also very good. And the main man looking even Geddier than the genuine article was great! I’ve mentioned it to some friends who now intend to catch them in Blackpool in January. I’ve seen the ‘real’ Rush three times over the years and, probably because I could get so close to the band, this was very nearly as good - honest! Thank you!

Just magical - second time I've seen them & they are even better than the first time. Really close reproduction of the original songs in all their glory makes this old Rush fan very happy. If you like Rush, then this is the band for you - they are really passionate about Rush and are dedicated to reproducing the songs as accurately & authentically as possible. Everybody there had a great time, & that includes Moving Pictures. Thanks guys, & looking forward to seeing you again soon. 5* is all I can give but you deserve more!

Great renditions of Rush songs by a very talented trio. Really enjoyed the evening and would definitely go to see them again. For a Rush fan, brings back so many memories. I know they are mainly standing venues but to play at an all seater could be more beneficial for the older ones 😀 Keep up the good work.

Had an excellent experience watching these guys at the 02 Birmingham. Their musicianship and technical prowess were second to non. All three band members were enjoying themselves and there was banter going back and forth throughout. The crowd who knew the lyrics to all the songs Enjoyed the craic and everywhere I looked there were goofy grins and nodding heads along with some drum solos being reanacted. Would definitely see them again Superb

Long term Rush fan but first time I’ve seen MP. Absolutely excellent gig - flawless versions of classic Rush songs and all played with real passion and heart. Any Rush fan would get a blast from seeing Moving Pictures. Musicianship was tremendous, especially the drummer - who has a big ask doing the dearly-missed Neil Peart’s complex parts, but was breathtakingly good. The band themselves said that there were some new tunes on the setlist but apart from one moment of all members looking at each other going ‘Huh?’ (we’ve all been there at one time or another), you wouldn’t have known these songs weren’t regular material. Great night.

Second time seeing the band. Fantastic again. Unbelievable value for money. Played three hours , early songs to late period , all expertly performed. I was excited to hear the whole Permanent Waves album played , in order. I was super impressed with the version of Different Strings, especially the long solo at the end. Amazing, can’t recommend highly enough for Rush fans. The drumming was a standout too. First class.

Moving Pictures are, quite simply, the perfect Rush tribute band. Talented, humble, funny and committed. The gig was a joy from start to finish. Rush fans are used to the very highest standards and Moving Pictures deliver every time. If you can see them, go see them!

Moving Pictures is always a great gig. They are all great musicians. The were on stage for 3 hrs played some fantastic Rush music. I have seen them before this time I dragged a few friends along, they loved them too.

It was a surreal day to listen to an amazing Rush tribute band :)Moving Pictures from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 in Lakeside Park under the willows 🌳and by the lighthouse on the pier. Had a spin on the carousel 🎠 too. Still 5 cents!!

We went to the afternoon show billed as the “best of the rest “, the really big anthems from Moving Pictures and other albums were left until the evening show which we didn’t do. That didn’t bother us the band performed a brilliant selection of Rush songs covering four decades of their music. The sound was very good and all the songs that I knew were played superbly and a precise rendition of the original in my opinion. Overall great entertainment and I would definitely like to go to the evening show next time. Thanks to Moving Pictures for producing an aural and visual treat for all Rush music fans.
