Rush's Neil Peart Announces New DVD

Brand new instructional film from one of the world\'s best drummers

Published 2nd Aug 2011

Fansite Rushisaband reports that the new film, entitled Taking Center Stage: A Lifetime Of Live Performance, will contain more than 6 hours of Rush video.

The fansite quotes the product description as saying:

"Filmed in various locations over the course of a year, Neil Peart takes you on a behind-the-scenes look at Rush's 2010-11 'Time Machine' tour. This includes rare and exclusive footage of Neil's personal pre-tour rehearsals and backstage events at a Rush concert (including a visit to the soundcheck, and an unprecedented backstage interview as Neil warms up for the show). Neil also presents a detailed look at every single song in the tour's set list. Each song features analysis and demonstrations by Neil, which are coupled with a detailed PDF eBook containing transcription of his parts. At the end of each song discussion, the viewer is transported onstage to a Rush concert to see the actual live performance of the song from the perspective of the drum cameras only."

No word on a UK release yet but the film is due for release on 14 October in North America - just weeks before the band's brand new live film Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland is released.
