Rush Plan on ‘Taking About a Year Off’
Rush fans have had to cope with lengthy delays between new studio albums over the last 15 years or so, and it looks like that will probably also be the case for the follow-up to 2012′s ‘Clockwork Angels.’
Guitarist Alex Lifeson discussed the band’s short-term plans during a recent interview with Billboard…and as he revealed, it turns out there really aren’t any. “We’ve committed to taking about a year off,” he told the magazine. “We all agreed when we finished this (‘Clockwork Angels’) tour (in early August) we were going to take this time off and we weren’t going to talk about band stuff or make any plans. We committed to a year, so that’s going to take us through to the end of next summer, for sure. That’s the minimum. We haven’t stopped or quit. Right now we’re just relaxing. We’re taking it easy and just enjoying our current employment.”
That said, Lifeson quickly admitted that boredom would probably set in well before the end of the trio’s planned sabbatical, and he predicted they’d end up getting together to write some new material sooner rather than later. As for how that material will surface, he isn’t sure. “It’s going to be interesting to see where we do go next,” he mused. “You know, the album is dying as a format. We’re so used to it and we’re so old school in that format, but will we get more mileage by doing a few new songs at a time, or do we do another album? It’s hard to say what the future holds, and it’s just changing so rapidly. It’s always hard to speculate where you’re going to go.”
Fortunately, while we wait for the next Rush record, we have some new(ish) stuff to listen to — namely, the ‘Clockwork Angels Tour‘ CD/DVD package and the newly remixed version of the band’s ‘Vapor Trails’ LP. That should tide everyone over for at least a few weeks, right?

Blu Ray sounds good and looks great. The CA material shines live. All three in top form.Super players.

I assume some of you guys have the new Blu-Ray or DVD? So what do you think?
I have now completed my 3rd viewing of the Rush 'Clockwork Angels Tour' DVD inside only a week (including the bonus disc with all the extras), and each viewing it just gets better.
When I saw the show live last October I wasn't all that blown away because I was quite critical of the set-list, at the time I thought that playing the new studio album pretty much in it's entirety, end to end, wasn't so much promoting it, as ramming it down people's throats, but then when I had gotten to know the album better, it made perfect sense, and so in a way I am appreciating this tour more from the DVD than I was from actually being in the arena.
The inclusion of the 'Clockwork Angels String Ensemble' for part of the show (when they played the 'CA' album) surely turned out to be one of the most inspired ideas Rush have ever had in a long history of inspired ideas, as it really filled out the sound perfectly on stage, and it made possible an almost note-perfect reproduction of what you get on the studio album - I really hope that Rush use strings on tour again in future, here are a couple of perfect examples of what I mean....Rush for me never sounded or looked more ravishing as they do here....

I really dig it TS....in fact, I think they are getting better and better with each DVD/Blu ray release!! Their best yet!!

I agree MP, I think just about every major Rush tour the past 10 years - going back to 'Rush in Rio' - has had a live DVD release, and yes they are all exceptional, but progressively getting even better. I'm actually trying to think of one other major rock band apart from Rush who are beyond any possible argument better now than they were 40 years ago, or at any other time in their existence (and with the exact same line-up)....and I can't think of anyone. Next year 2014 is the 40th anniversary of the release of the first Rush album.

I went back and watched Rush In Rio not too long ago and it looked all cheap and grainy to me....
I remember when it first came out, I was all, "Man this is bad ass!!! "
