According to All Headline News, RUSH have set a November 15 release date for their "R:30 - Rush Live In Frankfurt" DVD. The disc will feature a full performance of the German show during the band's 30th Anniversary Tour in 2004. It will also include a full-length documentary on the history of RUSH that has a running time of just over one hour and exclusive lost live footage of the band from the early 1980s.

In other news, RUSH plan to begin reissuing their VHS catalog on DVD with the 1981 concert film "Exit Stage Left..." , 1984's "Grace Under Pressure Tour", and a performance recorded in 1988, "A Show of Hands". The DVDs will be offered in a special box set and then individually.

If that was not enough news for RUSH fans, the band have reportedly begun the process of pre-production and are in the early stages of writing for their new album which should be ready for release sometime in 2006.

Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
Golden Acapulco nights
Then Morocco and the East
Fly by morning light..................

Wow how I love that song. I was a wee bit disappointed that they didn't play Passage to Bangkok at the concert last year - well at the very beginning of the concert they played that medley consisting of Finding my Way, Anthem, Bastille Day then Passage to Bangkok. Those 4 songs are some of my fav Rush songs and I wished they'd sung them all, but the medley still sounded awesome right enough.

Your dad has brilliant taste in music Emperor, so what happened to you then, apart from liking Saxon, your taste in music sucks heheheheheh!!!!!!!!!!!!

I is joking of course Emperor, ok let me take you by the hand and lead you down into the path of Rush. Every Rush song is totally awesome but to start you off you could try downloading any of these ones, these are some my favs:-

Passage to Bangkok, Anthem, Finding My Way, Bastille Day, What Your Doing, Animate, Dreamline, Earthshine, The Trees, Limelight, The Enemy Within, Working Man, Bytor & The Snowdog and as Imp says 2112 which is totally mindblowing and brings tears to my eyes when you hear it live!!!!!
