His fifth birthday? Was there something significant about that (or do you just want to see everything birthday for Geddy? :)

Over the past several months, I've been working on a new section to my Rush fan site at www.cygnus-x1.net: The Rush Timeline http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/timeline.php The timeline is a graphical, chronological and interactive database of Rush's extensive history. Please have a look and let me know what you think. Thanks! -John

For those of you who may have missed it... http://news.cygnus-x1.net/2014/02/neil-peart-ranks-3-in-modern-drummer-s.html

As most of you know, the Rush Backstage Club released a Limited Edition (5000 copies) Deluxe Package version of the Clockwork Angels Tour CD/DVD. The special packaging, which was hard-bound and vinyl-sized, included some 40 additional photos and enhanced artwork that didn't appear anywhere else. The liner notes were also expanded. Both the new liner notes/track listing and artwork/photography (which is excellent by the way) is now available online via the links below. http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/videos-clockwork-angels-tour-deluxe.php (Liner Notes) and http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/imagedb-vid-clockwork-angels-tour-deluxe.php (Artwork) Enjoy-

Ever wonder what Neil's dressing room looked like, or what kind of practice kit he may have used during his 'return' during the Vapor Trails tour? Wonder no more... http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/concert-wantagh-ny-07.15.2002.php Enjoy-

Sweet... http://news.cygnus-x1.net/2013/11/clockwork-angels-graphic-novel-coming.html

Yes - my copy hasn't arrived yet but once it does, I'll be transcribing it and scanning all of the artwork as well.

For those who haven't picked up the new live album yet, you can check out the complete liner notes, tracks and artwork at the following two links: http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/albums-clockwork-angels-tour.php and http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/imagedb-clockwork-angels-tour.php Similar pages for the DVD/Blu-Ray/Deluxe Package will be online within the next week as well.

Issue #19 of 'The Spirit of Rush' fanzine, which was originally published back in the Summer of 1992, included a fan-made Rush board game which included various nods to Rush lyrics and songs... I've just re-published this issue online (as I am doing with all 60+ issues of TSOR). You can check it out here: http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/tsor-19.php Enjoy-

I uploaded a video clip of the performance... http://news.cygnus-x1.net/2013/09/rush-sighting-on-nbcs-revolution.html I thought TS sounded pretty damn good -- someone needs to get that guy to put it out as a single :)

I'm proud to announce a new, exclusive feature to the Cygnus-X1.Net: A Tribute to Rush website - the official and complete archive of the Spirit of Rush Fanzine. The Spirit of Rush was launched back in 1987 and ran for over fifteen years. In over sixty published issues, the fanzine brought Rush news, articles, reviews, concert updates, fan art, exclusive band interviews and so much more to fans around the globe. Over the past month or so, I've been working with a previous contributor as well as a co-editor of the fanzine, both who graciously allowed me to not only borrow all of the issues of the fanzine, but also scan and publish them online. To begin with, the first ten issues of the fanzine are available now at the new Spirit of Rush Archive. Moving forward, new issues will be published in chronological order at the rate of approximately one a week. As the members of Rush are taking their well-earned break as they - and we - head into the band's 40th anniversary next year, I thought it fitting to highlight the passion Rush fans have had throughout their career. The Spirit of Rush fanzine was without question the epitome of Rush fandom back in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's. I hope you enjoy this special look back at the history of Rush from a fans-eye view. Very special thanks to Monica Zimmerman and Janet Balmer for their generosity, support and encouragement in bringing this archive online.

The new Rush 2014 Wall Calendar is now shipping from Amazon.Com I've also scanned the images/artwork which you can view at this link: http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/imagedb-calendar-2014.php One of the better calendars IMHO... Enjoy

Nice summary. Regarding the set list, they played Limelight, Bravado and what song(s) from Clockwork Angels? Did they play 7 Cities or Wish them Well? Also - what about Manhattan Project vs Dreamline? Which one did they play? Thank you!

I guess it's no surprise that the Calgary show was canceled after all -- but that certainly isn't stopping Rush. Very cool news: http://news.cygnus-x1.net/2013/07/rush-to-perform-alberta-flood-relief.html

Here's a great gallery of photos taken from various front-row vantage points at the June 30th show in Grand Rapids, MI. As you'll see, there was quite an emphasis on capturing the string ensemble in many of these photos. Enjoy- http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/concert-grand-rapids-mi-06.30.2013.php -John
