Geddy, Alex Interview with UltimateGuitar.com
RUSH Rare Footage On R30
UltimateGuitar.com has posted a short video interview snippet with Geddy and Alex. From the interview:
RUSH Rare Footage On R30
“My brother, who does a lot of work with us in terms of… He”s kind of an intermediary between us and our video projects and there was a time where he just spent some time in the vault just kind of looking at what we had, cataloging what we had. And he found all this old footage that we had kind of forgotten about, and brought it to our attention. Once we knew about it, we said, “Well, we”ll look for the right opportunity to use all those pieces.” And then when we decided to do the R-30 tour and then subsequently made the late decision to film one of the shows on R30, it seemed the perfect opportunity to add another disc with all these pieces.”

More kind words for R30 December 5, 2005
Buffalo News: Picks of the Season
Some more kind words for R30 from Jeff Miers at Buffalo News:
Buffalo News: Picks of the Season
A celebration of 30 years in the life of Rush. This is a gift for true fans of the group”s wonderfully idiosyncratic blend of passion, humor and virtuoso musicianship. Disc one offers up a concert documented in Frankfurt, Germany, near the end of the band”s 2004 30th anniversary tour. (Only 22 of the 30 songs Rush played during this show are included here, in order to avoid repeating songs already documented on the 2003 release “Rush In Rio.”) The band has never been better, and the state-of-the-art surround-sound mix - coupled with the beauty of the filming itself, the result of a 14-camera high-definition shoot - makes this the pre-eminent Rush artifact. Disc two compiles filmed interviews beginning in 1979 and continuing through 2002, and includes just about every promotional video the band ever recorded. The “70s hair, flowing caftans and Mini-Moogs abound, and yes, this is some funny stuff. But watching this band develop is a treat. Special editions of the package also include a twin-disc audio-only representation of the Frankfurt show. The artwork, by longtime band associate Hugh Syme, is exemplary as well.

New Album by Fall 2006
RUSH Guitarist: “It”s Time For A New Record”
Geddy and Alex have been making the rounds and doing several interviews for radio in the past week or so. There”s been a lot of indication from these interviews that the band will be entering the studio next year and hopefully putting out a new album in the fall with a tour to follow. From a recent Alex Lifeson interview at WRIF 101.1 in Detroit:
RUSH Guitarist: “It”s Time For A New Record”
“We”re going to go in the studio early next year and start writing. It”s time for a new record, time to move forward…we”re going to hopefully finish the record by the summer, and think about hitting the road around this time next year.”

Strange R30 Review discusses Alex’s Package December 4, 2005
Review: Rush R30 Deluxe Edition DVD
In the end, I think this guy liked the DVD - but at times I wasn”t sure. For one thing, he started the review off this way:
Review: Rush R30 Deluxe Edition DVD
I knew this chick… I always thought she was kind of a whore … Anyway, the only thing this has to do with Rush is that in between assorted alcoholic beverages on certain lovelorn evenings-drinks that I purchased by the way–this woman kept going and on about Alex Lifeson”s “package”.Review: Rush R30 Deluxe Edition DVD
“It”s soooo big.” She said.Review: Rush R30 Deluxe Edition DVD
“F**k that.” I said. “You want something big between your legs, why don”t you go and straddle Geddy Lee”s nose?”…

RUSH Salutes Earliest Fans On New DVD
From Blabbermouth:RUSH Salutes Earliest Fans On New DVD
Launch Radio Networks reports: When RUSH launched their 30th anniversary world tour last year, they made sure to do something special for the fans who”ve been with them all along. The band went back to their early material to come up with an overture to start the shows, and the performance runs about six minutes and 40 seconds. It”s the first thing the band plays on their new DVD called “R30″, and guitarist Alex Lifeson told Launch how and why the overture was done. “We took snippets, or at least the main signature riffs or melody lines from, you know, the first number of albums, and certainly for some of the older fans that feel a real connection to this stuff from the “70s, you know, it”s there, and it starts the show, and it”s something that they sing along to, so that was kinda cool,” he said.…
