Celebrating Rush's 30th anniversary, this retrospective of Canada's most successful music group examines each of the band's approximately 20 lauded records and sold-out tours, eliciting fresh insights into the marriage of Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee's classic, fearless art rock sound with Neil Peart's celebrated literary prowess. The product of extensive interviews with all three members and corroborating evidence from key insiders and press, this unprecedented examination features previously unpublished candid photographs by official band photographer Andrew MacNaughtan. Musings on playing live and the grind of touring are presented, revealing the trio's evolution over the past three decades. A critical eye is focused on the band's vast catalog, resulting in a comprehensive, forward-moving celebration of one of the most respected yet secretive bands in the music business--one that has never been revealed in book form so personally, directly, or so willingly.

RUSH 'Contents Under Pressure' 30 Years of RUSH At Home & Away:
I read several reviews on this book before making my purchase, both good & bad... ANY 'true' Rush fan will really enjoy this book.. the neg. review or two I read were def. by other than 'true' fans, that's for sure.
First of all, it's not one of those $35+ books, it has 236 pages, and it cost me a mere $13! For this kind of price I can't see why anybody would talk this book down. It is LOADED with all kinds of info about everything these guys put into there albums and then some, road stories, and... more info
Not bad, not great:
A decent book for avid Rush fans, although the writing style gets a little overdone. The author seems to be more interested in coming up with adjectives more than anything else. There are a lot of interesting tour stories, along with some terrific pictures.
Does its job, but left some questions unanswered.:
I enjoyed reading this book and was glad to learn what I did from it, but I felt like it could have had more details.

I mainly wanted to know more about their experiences on the road and how they managed to remain professional despite their adverse living conditions, rather than hear a little about what they did in their spare time.... more info
Class Acts On Stage & Off:
Read only if you're a Rush fan. I've owned every LP and CD. I also have all their DVD's and seen them twice in concert. A great retrospective of their music with lots of photos. Not the wild party boys you'd expect from a rock band, but that's why they've not burned out and they continue to write great music. The only thing that might have made it better was more actual stories from the road of things they did. This is pretty laid back stuff and the guys are class acts. I enjoyed the book a lot.
