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.

Customer Reviews

TimothyMarch 25, 2022Very nice book! While only a small selection of gigs are covered (out of necessity), the images are outstanding. The design, layout, and overall look & feel of the book all are great.
-
Scott R. SnellMarch 2, 2022Thoroughly enjoyed the book. Brought back many great memories. Wish it was hardcover!
-
Robert CostelloFebruary 8, 2022Great big book, with lots of nice pics and info. I have the signed version that's even better!
-
Mark LancasterJanuary 31, 2022I love the Rush Gig Book. It was great to see the poster from the first Rush concert I attended in 1978, as well as the poster from their first show and their last show. I recommend for any Rush fan.
-
Jeffrey J VomeroJanuary 25, 2022Love the book. Brought so many memories. I have seen the boys 102 times (yep but who is counting). I also love the size of the book and the details in the pictures. Awesome stuff would recommend this to any Rush Fan. Wait who isn't?
-
Royce McGuireJanuary 19, 2022great book, I'm big a Rush fan and this goes great with the small collection of Rush books that i already have, love it
-
TracieJanuary 19, 2022Great book! Very well done. My husband loves it! Great addition to his other Rush paraphernalia
-
StevenJanuary 14, 2022As usual from Rush, a high quality design and impressive book. Like a trip through memory lane, but nothing I would look at again and again. Most of the posters, playbills don't fill the page, and there is little info to accompany them. It would have been nice to include some info text, quotes, etc. But still, all Rush, and you can never go wrong with that. I recommend it for the die-hard fan (which is pretty much anyone reading this review).
-
Hugo SylvestreJanuary 13, 2022Great addition to my Rush collection (and my Rush tourbooks) A perfect overview of Rush concert posters through the years. On a personal note, I'm glad they added the Montreal concert (1984). Highly recommend!
-
M.January 9, 2022My brother and I have been Rush fans going back to 1977. It is so awesome to see these posters again, a number for the first time, and OWN my copy of them. A hard cover would have been nice but I am so happy to have a copy! It is one of my favorite books already. I wish I could see Rush one more time and say thanks for all the albums and concerts. This book is a great reminder of the “good times had.” Thanks to the families for loaning these guys out to us!
-
Jeff LJanuary 9, 2022Really 3-1/2 stars. This is a pretty bichin book, but the text could have had more details than it did. I would liked to have known who designed the posters, who the artist was, etc. There are pages with tickets on them, but no writing. Some match the posters and some don't. A hardcover would have been nice as well. But, if you're a fan, this is a cool book to have!
-
Jeanette BryanJanuary 5, 2022This book is very nice.... but it doesn't tell me anything new or different about my favorite band "RUSH". I've looked through it but will probably not look at it again. Way too much money for someone's play bill collection. Wish it could have been a library book.
-
R GombertJanuary 4, 2022An enjoyable trip. It's great to see all of these posters, some for the first time and some for shows that I went to. Full of history and interesting bits.
-
Claudia RodriguezJanuary 3, 2022It was a great gift for a true fan, he was so excited and happy!
-
Sean OldhamJanuary 3, 2022I wish that I could live it all again!
