bouche Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 RUSHTIME MACHINENORTH AMERICAN TOUR 2010 featuring for the first time everMOVING PICTURES IN ITS ENTIRETY Tickets for Rush go on sale in select markets beginning April 16th at LiveNation.com (Toronto – Thursday, April 8th 2010) - Rush – Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart – is without question one of the most inventive and compelling groups in rock history, equally famed for both its virtuoso musicianship and provocative songwriting. Announced today, The Time Machine Tour is an evening with Rush, where they will perform their classics, give a taste of the future – and for the first time ever – feature the Moving Pictures album live in its entirety. The band is currently working on their 20th studio album with producer Nick Raskulinecz (co-producer from 2007’s Snakes & Arrows) and in addition to their classics plan to showcase a few new tunes live this summer. “We were off for a year and a half, and now it's just pouring. Everything is totally crazy and there's not a minute left in the day. We've got these half-dozen songs, and we'll probably go in the studio and work on a couple of them and see how it goes, perhaps release something – and I say perhaps – and then we plan on being on the road,†says guitarist, Alex Lifeson. This summer’s Live Nation promoted tour will visit approximately 40 cities throughout North America beginning June 29th in Albuquerque, NM and finishing October 2nd in West Palm Beach, FL with stops along the way in Boston, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Holmdel, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Toronto, Washington, and more (complete tour itinerary follows). Rush has sold more than 40 million records worldwide and garnered untold legions of devoted and admiring fans. According to the RIAA, Rush's sales statistics place RUSH third after The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band. Released in 1981, Moving Pictures was their most successful album, certified 4x Platinum and features some of Rush’s most well known songs and perennial radio favourites Tom Sawyer, Limelight and the Grammy-nominated instrumental YYZ. “Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage†a documentary created by filmmakers Scot McFadyen & Sam Dunn (whose filmography also includes: “Iron Maiden; Flight 666,’ “Metal, A Headbangers Journey†and “Global Metalâ€) will premiere at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival on April 24th followed by the Canadian premiere at Toronto’s Hot Docs festival on April 29th. The band was also recently showcased in the comedy “I Love You Man†where they play themselves in a concert scene featuring actors Paul Rudd and Jason Segal as ubra-fans, a performance which has exposed the band to a whole new generation. Inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame this past March alongside Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Gordon Lightfoot, Rush has also been nominated for multiple Grammy awards and won a number of Juno Awards. They were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 and bestowed the Order of Canada in 1997. Consistently celebrated and respected worldwide, Rush is the most successful Canadian rock band of all time and they remain one of the biggest grossing arena rock bands ever. Tickets for Rush Time Machine Tour will go on sale beginning April 16th in San Francisco, Uncasville, Saratoga Springs, Denver, Chicago, Wantagh, Seattle and Holmdel at Livenation.com. Tickets for performances in Milwaukee, Sarnia and Syracuse go on sale April 17th, check local listings for ticket information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau. Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 We were thinking of hitting Bayfest again this year (got friends in Sarnia) to see Scorpions & Rush, but seeing that Rush are playing two Toronto dates, I think I may try to hit one of those & head out to Pottahawk instead.

bouche Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Ha. My 8 year old self loved this album but I think I just listened to side one on repeat. I'd probably appreciate side two a lot more now.Once again, Ollie makes me feel old. I remember being 12 and hearing my best friends brother who had a drumset setup in his basement of which he pounded the fuck outta to this album. It was the first time I ever heard surround sound. they had a quadraphonic speaker setup which rush was being played on, and the drums were in the middle of the room. anyway, when I hear any tunes from this album, I am transported back to 1982.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Once again, Ollie makes me feel old. Thanks for making me feel that much older. Ok, on second thought, I like being this old. And the guys in Rush are that much older still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak By Night Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Funny story about my old vinyl copy of Moving Pictures. There was a gouge in the grooves of "The Camera Eye" that caused it to skip, so that the line"The focus is sharp in the city"came across as:"The focus is shitty".My little brother found it quite hilarious.
