Legendary rock band Rush have announced details of the first offerings through their recently announced partnership with Roadrunner Records. On the 7th November, Anthem/Roadrunner will simultaneously release a two disc live album entitled 'Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland' as well as 'Moving Pictures: Live 2011' on vinyl and digital formats.
Captured in April at Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena during Rush's extensive 'Time Machine' World Tour, 'Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland' marks the band’s first live album recorded at a U.S show, a deliberate nod of gratitude to the first city to support Rush on its radio airwaves.
The hugely popular tour featured a set filled with classic hits, fan favourites, and a glimpse into Rush’s forthcoming 20th studio album 'Clockwork Angels'. As a centerpiece for the concerts, the band performed their landmark album 'Moving Pictures' in its entirety – a first in the band’s long and illustrious career.
“Moving Pictures: Live 2011” marks the first live recording of the band’s most successful album to date. Originally released in 1981, this year marks the 30th anniversary of 'Moving Pictures', which features some of Rush’s most well-known songs like 'Tom Sawyer,' 'Limelight,' and 'YYZ.'
In related news, Rush is also releasing 'Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland' on BluRay and DVD formats on November 8th via Rounder Records and Eagle Rock Entertainment. VH1 will be airing a 2-hour concert culled from the footage as part of their annual “Rushashana” program on September 29th. This fall, Rush will be returning to the studio to resume work on their highly anticipated 20th studio album, “Clockwork Angels' which is due out next year.
