The Time Machine tour is an evening with Rush, where they will perform their classics, give a taste of the future and will, for the first time ever in the UK, feature the 'Moving Pictures' album live in its entirety.
"Moving Pictures is our most popular album and it's the one that seems to have passed the test of time most gracefully," observes singer/bassist Geddy lee. "We're playing better than ever, and I'm not sure we're quite ready to put that tour away," he adds.
Released in 1981, 'Moving Pictures' is the band's most successful album, certified 4x Platinum and features some of Rush's most well known songs and perennial radio favourites such as 'Tom Sawyer', 'Limelight' and the Grammy-nominated instrumental 'YYZ'. In September 2010, Eagle Vision released '2112 & Moving Pictures - Classic Albums' on both DVD and Blu-ray as part of their celebrated Classic Albums series.
Despite the touring schedule, Rush is currently working on their 20th studio album, 'Clockwork Angels', with producer Nick Raskulinecz (co-producer from 2007's 'Snakes & Arrows'). The band has released two new songs from the forthcoming album, 'BU2B' and 'Caravan' (parts I and II from 'Clockwork Angels') which are featured live in the Time Machine Tour setlist. Both tracks are available now as digital downloads.
'Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage', the critically-acclaimed documentary created by filmmakers Scot McFadyen & Sam Dunn in now available on DVD and blu-ray through Universal Music.
