We’re deeply shocked and heartbroken to learn of the sudden passing of our close friend and long-time photographer, Andrew MacNaughtan. He was a sweet person and a very talented artist. Words cannot describe how much he will be missed. –Geddy, Alex & Neil
Rush have teamed up with Jammit, the number one app for you to learn your favourite songs, and have made available Rush’s classic songs 2112 and Limelight. Rush on Jammit gives you access to the original Rush multi-track masters, with instrument-specific versions available for drums, bass, guitar and vocals with the precise notation and tablature. In addition to being an exceptional learning tool, each Rush song can be analyzed by isolating the individual instruments from the rest of the mix, slowing down the speed (without changing the pitch) and looping difficult sections.

Thank you to the fans who bought Time Machine and made the DVD #1 in Canada & the US and #2 in the UK!
Neil Peart wrote a special story to Cleveland’s daily newspaper, The Plain Dealer, in light of the Time Machine DVD being recorded there, and where it all started for Rush in ’74. Read the story.
Please note it’s come to our attention that the first run of DVDs (not Blu-ray) have a default audio setting of DTS Surround Sound. So, if you’re putting your DVD in your player and the audio is silent, it WILL work but you’ll just need to change your audio set-up. When you put the DVD in your player please go to “Set Up” on the DVD menu and select “Dolby 2.0”. And, Voila! Loud noises will begin! All remaining product going forward will have a sticker on it explaining this process. All new product manufactured will have this default fixed. We apologize for any confusion!
