About this ebook

Contents Under Pressure: 30 Years of Rush at Home & Away is a detailed history of the exhaustive road experience of Canadian rock icons Rush. Celebrating the band’s 30th anniversary, By-Tour features in-depth original interviews with Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart. Together, history’s loudest Order of Canada recipients conjure the sights and sounds of their strange journey: one that began in the microscopic, sometimes hostile clubs of Ontario and culminated in hockey barns, arenas, and stadiums all over the world. Rush have been headliners for over 20 years. The announcement of an impending Rush tour is major entertainment news all over the world, and a cause for celebration for the fanatical following the band has created with their grace, humour, intellect, focus, and spellbinding musicianship. A visitor to this book will be justly rewarded with fresh, exclusive insights about this enigmatic Canadian institution.

OK second time I've read this book, first time 10 years ago so that's the first problem it stops 10 years in the past and could do with some new chapters. Second issue is that it's a fine book but reads like a diary of facts there is no real personal insight into the bands minds or feelings during the 30 years they have been together, a snippet here n there such as During this time Alex and Geddy argued quite a bit but nothing more to explain about what they argued and what the resolution was, its all very cold. But still a good read for any Rush fan and worth the money

The book does not flow at all, and on a technical note, whatever process they used to 'convert' it to an ebook scrambled the text everywhere. Makes it a little harder to enjoy.
