blueschica Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I got an email from the Rush Backstage store today. A Rush poster book is being released on December 1st! It's called "Rush Gigs- Found On The Studio Walls And In Concert Halls." It looks like it could be a good one! "Over Rush’s long 45+ year history, they played everywhere from “drop-ins” in suburban Toronto to the largest stadiums across the world. Along the way, many bar owners, local newspapers, club designers, and large entertainment conglomerates advertised these shows, these “gigs”- in magazines and marquees and myriad other places. Within these pages, you’ll learn about the first time Neil Peart ever took the stage with Rush, how Santa Claus (!) opened for Rush, and just how extensive their touring really was. You’ll see ads and gig posters promoting everything from Rush’s first concert in America to the largest crowd they ever played (a benefit show in Toronto) to their final act, at the fabled Forum in Los Angeles. A must for fans of one of the most storied rock acts of all time, Rush." It is 11 x 14 and 208 pages. Cost is $59.99 for the regular edition. The $249.99 Autographed by Alex and Geddy edition is already sold out (coming soon to Ebay near you. :( ). I hope the printing and paper quality is good! https://www.rushback...edition?cp=null . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 That looks like an error on the Glasgow page. The caption says June 12th 1977, but the two dates on the poster were from the Permanent Waves tour in 1980. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think it was better researched than that, but that's what it looks like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point. You can google image search the ticket stubs from both 1977 and 1980 to see the difference (a whopping £4.50 for the Permanent Waves tour). Not sure what's going on with that poster then. Has it been put together retrospectively I wonder? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see what I can find out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 So having had a browse on the Internet I found two posters - A 1977 Glasgow poster on Cygnus-X1.net andan 1980 poster (not Glasgow but Hammersmith from a few nights before) - The 1977 poster is certainly similar to the one in the book (colour, layout and pricing) but it shows the name of the support and also the correct date. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thizzellewashington Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I got the book this weekend. It's OK. Some cool posters. Not a must-buy like some of the other Rush books but worth having in the collection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I got the book this weekend. It's OK. Some cool posters. Not a must-buy like some of the other Rush books but worth having in the collection. Same. TBH, after going through it I wish I could undo the order. It's allright, but nothing special. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably wear it this weekend. but did you get the book yet? Wasn't planning on it to be honest. Didn't find it to be of enough interest sadly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital82 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 there turned out to be quite a few ads or posters in the book that I had never seen before. I found the Rush/Kiss ad from November of ’81 to be really cool. the book has made a nice addition to my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
