Anthem: Rush in the ’70s: 1 (Rush Across the Decades)

With extensive, first hand collections from Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart, as well as from family, friends, and fellow musicians, Anthem: Rush in the 70s is a detailed portrait of Canada greatest rock ambassadors. The first of three volumes, Anthem puts the band catalogue, from their self titled debut to 1978 Hemispheres (the next volume resumes with the release of Permanent Waves) into both Canadian and general pop culture context, and presents the trio of quintessentially dependable, courteous Canucks as generators of incendiary, groundbreaking rock roll. Fighting complacency, provoking thought, and often enraging critics, Rush has been at war with the music industry since 1974, when they were first dismissed as the Led Zeppelin of the north. Anthem, like each volume in this series, celebrates the perseverance of Geddy, Alex, and Neil: three men who maintained their values while operating from a Canadian base, throughout lean years, personal tragedies, and the band eventual worldwide success.

I’m about 1/2 way through and it’s a great read as others have said. I’ve given it 5 stars because it’s about Rush but I do think it would have benefitted from better paragraphing. Quite often you have 2 or 3 people giving anecdotes in the same paragraph and gets a bit confusing who is talking.
Might just be me and just a minor moan

Well researched and written book giving a real insight into the 70s era Rush. Looking forward to the next 80s installation.
by Neil S.
Decent book with plenty of material from the band. Bought Limelight as well but haven’t started that yet. Great band who were great in the 70’s.

An interesting recounting of the early rush story. Only gripe is that with handling the gold leaf writing / bordering on the cover eventually rubs off, so take car3 to keeps yours hands from rubbing it to much when holding the book
