The DVD will also include a full-length documentary on the history of Rush that has a running time of just over one hour and exclusive lost live footage of the band from the early 1980s.
In other news, Rush plan to begin reissuing their VHS catalog on DVD with the 1981 concert film \"Exit Stage Left...\" , 1984\'s \"Grace Under Pressure Tour\", and a performance recorded in 1988, \"A Show of Hands\". The DVDs will be offered in a special box set and then individually.
Moreover, drummer Neil Peart (photo) and the rest of the band have started the process of pre-production and are in the early stages of writing for their new album which should be ready for release in 2006.
It seems an expensive period is coming up for Rush fans as Neal Peart is going to release an instructional DVD as well. Titled \"Anatomy of A Drum Solo\" this DVD will be issued on December 13 through Hudson Music.
The DVD will contain over two hours of Peart playing through numerous versions of drum solos he has performed for the better part of thirty years.
