Review: A must for Rush fans and those going into the music business - Excellent book. Many interviews from people who had never been interviewed before. Great insight on the music business and the intelligent way they continued to make their own music and not follow the label’s advice, adulterating their vision. Explanation of the albums in the ‘70’s and honest insight into grueling touring. Their professional attitudes and lack of excess drinking and drug use. There is mention of marijuana and hash use, but that’s considered legal in many state (not federally) now. They don’t want to appear on stage and embarrass themselves with a shoddy performance. Descriptions on being an opening act for many bands and their drug/alcohol use, to being headliners. Frank interviews from many affiliated persons sometimes good, others negative. This is the REAL LIFE of a rock and roll group. Some reviews find this to be negative, but it’s honest and the biggest point is that they strive to be their best when performing for huge or small crowds. They do get a bit worn out at the end of a long tour with few days off, driving a few hundred or more miles after the show to the next venue. And the show must go on.. not “calling in sick” as they would let down thousands of fans. Only cancelling, say, when Geddy lost his voice. Pratt drumming with a puke bucket to the side of his drum kit, hoping not to throw up until the song was over and the lights went out. Geddy playing while sick. Not much is mentioned about Alex, the least celebrated member of the band, but he contributes to the book in interviews. My only gripes are that at times, it’s difficult to tell who is saying what in the written interviews. You really have to pay attention to the subtle shifts in the interviews as there are many people who were interviewed. Also, though the book seems hard bound and has a faux black leather cover, the gold embossed secondary title and spine Wears off rapidly. I noticed it after 3 readings. Perhaps, if important to you, a book cover could be made... like we did in school when we had 50 pounds of books and related homework! Limelight is the next book “rush in the ‘80s. I can’t wait to read it! And a new book is sold on desertcart as pre-orders for Spring Maybe winter’s end) the title escapes me right now. Overall, this is an awesome book. Some of the few photos seem to be new too.
Review: Great read - Great read

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read
*by L***E on January 4, 2026*

Great read

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tons of information on formative years
*by R***. on March 10, 2024*

Thorough picture of Rush in their early formative years. Broken down by album chapters with some repetitive info in each, but still a good read. Much of the same info can be found in Beyond the Lighted Stage bluray but I like sitting down with a good book regardless.
