Transcript: "Geddy Lee of Rush" - Greenwich Shoppers Helper, November 10, 1987

I have just transcribed "Geddy Lee of Rush", an interview which appeared in the November 10, 1987 issue of the Ohio Greenwich Shoppers Helper.   Geddy addresses the maturity of the band and the music reflected on Hold Your Fire...   "As much as some of our fans would hate to view it like that...we're changing and our music's changing with us." - Thanks to RushFanForever for providing the original article!

Tourbooks for Rush, Fly By Night and Caress of Steel - new transcripts and wallpaper

Last October, official tourbooks for the Rush 1974, Fly By Night, and Caress of Steel tours were published as the "Missing Tourbooks Collection".  Each tourbook offers many rare photographs as well as three never before seen press reviews written by Raymond Michael for Buffalo's Courier Express.  You can now check out each tourbook by visiting the Rush Bibliography page, or simply visit the Rush, Fly By Night or Caress of Steel discography pages and click on their respective Tourbook tabs.  All photographs are also now available as wallpaper; accessible on each album's Wallpaper tab, or on the main Wallpaper page. - A huge thank you to John Patuto for providing the transcripts and raw scans!

Transcript: "Rush's Music Reflects Work Ethic" - Orange County Register, February 15, 1983

I have transcribed another long lost interview with Neil Peart published 38 years ago this month in the Orange County Register during the Signals tour. In "Rush's Music Reflects Work Ethic" Neil reaffirms the band's work ethic five years after the band had finally achieved success in his view, and notes how Rush was incorporating more synths into their sound, while his lyrics had moved from sci-fi themes to personal relationships. - Thanks to RushFanForever for providing the original article!
