Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Fondly known as the Holy Triumvirate, Rush is one of the greatest bands in rock-and-roll history. From humble beginnings as a Toronto-area band playing middle school gymnasiums, churches, and coffee houses, to their rise, becoming one of the world's most sought-after live acts, selling out massive arenas around the globe, Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee, and Neil Peart's ascent has been a journey of perseverance. This official touring history covers that journey from 1968 to the final show in 2015.City by city, show by show, this band created a rabid fan base the hard way: through non-stop, grueling touring. From taking turns driving the van to jet-setting around the world, Rush never lost sight of what made them great- the laser focus of being a working band- playing for hours every night, with an ever-growing set list and stage show, to adoring fans around the globe. With next-to-no media coverage, tepid album reviews, and the general disdain of the music world, Rush put in the work to keep the fans that kept coming back engaged and wanting more. This book includes every set list, every opening act, and every noteworthy moment, all meticulously researched by the authors and vetted by the band members themselves. This is the must-have tour compendium for Rush fans. Rush: Wandering the Face of the Earth covers Rush's storied touring career with never-before-seen photographs and interviews from the people that were there.
