Preview: Rush - "R30"
30th Anniversary Tour DVD/CD Set

A few relatively remarkable facts about Rush:
  • The band was formed in 1968 and two of the band’s founding members (Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson) are still with the band. The third (Neil Peart) joined in 1974
  • The group has been recording successful albums continuously since 1974
  • Their 30th anniversary tour in 2004 was completely sold out
You could also add that the Canadian “power trio” has been unusually adept at adapting itself to heavy metal and progressive rock, and is considered one of the best live bands in rock history.

The latest entry in Rush’s distinguished discography is the two-DVD/two CD set titled R30, recorded during that 2004 tour. Street date is November 22.

One DVD contains the band’s concert in Frankfurt, Germany, shot with 14 HD cameras in wide screen format with Dolby Digital Surround Sound. The second DVD contains historical performance and interview footage from throughout the band’s long career. The CDs contain the soundtrack from the concert DVD.
