A beautifully produced, photo-packed celebration of the beloved rock
trio, Rush at 50 examines the history of the Canadian rockers through
the lens of 50 milestone events and an illustrated gatefold timeline.
Formed in Toronto in 1968, Rush became one of the most popular and
best-selling bands in rock history, thanks to their tireless effort and
imaginative, ever-evolving music. This richly illustrated and
entertainingly written book from Rush expert and music journalist Dan
Bukszpan pays tribute to the trio on the 50th anniversary of their debut
album by curating and examining 50 of the most significant milestones
in their career.
Bukszpan covers everything down through the
decades: The band’s formation by bassist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex
Lifeson in suburban Toronto and their early gigs and tours opening for
the likes of Kiss Their breakthrough in the United States thanks to a
Cleveland DJ The role of co-founding drummer John Rutsey Rush’s early
Led Zeppelin–influenced efforts and their breakthrough, 2112 The band’s
ever-evolving musical style through the 1970s and 1980s The
controversial influence of novelist Ayn Rand on Neil Peart’s lyrics
Geddy Lee’s instantly recognizable vocal style Recording sessions with
various producers in Wales, Quebec, and elsewhere In examining 50
touchstones, Buszpan presents a unique look at Rush’s career arc from
Toronto bar band to international mega-platinum stadium fillers. Every
page is illustrated with stunning concert and candid offstage
photography, including gig posters, 7-inch picture sleeves, ticket
stubs, and more. The result is an epic tribute to one of the most
