Hudson Music has announced the October release of a groundbreaking
new 3-DVD set from Neil Peart, one of the true living legends of
drumming. In Taking Center Stage: A Lifetime of Live Performance,
Neil examines the details and challenges of performing in front of
a live audience. Drawing from over 30 years of touring the world,
Neil breaks down, demonstrates, and performs classic drum parts
from songs spanning the entire Rush catalog, thereby giving the
viewer the most in-depth insight into Neil s body of work ever
documented. Filmed in various locations over the course of a year,
Neil takes you on a behind-the- scenes look at Rush s 2010-11 Time
Machine Tour. This includes rare and exclusive footage of Neil's
personal pre-tour rehearsals and backstage events at a Rush concert
(including a visit to the soundcheck, an unprecedented backstage
interview, and Neils warm-up routine). Neil then presents (in an
interview setting with Hudson s Joe Bergamini) a detailed look at
every single song in the Time Machine set list (which includes the
entire Moving Pictures album). Each song features analysis and
demonstrations (including slow- motion), which are coupled with a
detailed PDF eBook containing transcriptions of Neil s parts. At
the end of each song discussion, the viewer is transported onstage
to a Rush concert to see the actual live performance of the song
from the perspective of the drum cameras only (with an exclusive,
custom audio mix that features the drums heard slightly louder
than a normal concert DVD mix). With in-studio rehearsal footage,
backstage scenes, live concert performances, and breathtaking
interview footage filmed in Death Valley National Park, California,
this package documents not only Neil s approach to live performance,
but the very essence of his drumming style, on all the classic Rush
songs, including Tom Sawyer, Subdivisions, YYZ, The Spirit of Radio,
Free Will, Limelight, Far Cry, and many more. The DVD also includes
discussion, analysis, and performance of the newest Rush song,
Caravan, and extensive bonus content.
