Featuring over 400 rare photos, memorabilia, and expert commentary, this book chronicles the band’s evolution from their 1974 formation through decades of groundbreaking music and legendary tours. Authored by renowned rock journalist Martin Popoff, it offers an authoritative, immersive experience for both diehard fans and newcomers alike. ## Description Fully revised and updated, Rush is a richly illustrated history of one of the world's greatest rock bands. In 1974, a Canadian rock band called Rush took the music scene by storm. Throughout the 1970s and raging into the 1980s, the band grew a tidal wave of followers and produced such hit songs as "Limelight," "Subdivisions," and "Tom Sawyer." Inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, this progressive rock, hard rock, and heavy metal band is destined to go down in history as legendary. The band continues to make history today. Rush: The Illustrated History is a fully updated, richly illustrated history from prolific rock journalist and noted Rush authority Martin Popoff. The book follows the world-conquering exploits of Rush band members Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, and Alex Lifeson from the band's formation in Toronto to their fortieth anniversary celebration and tour. Popoff's stellar history is complemented by LP reviews from a slate of highly regarded music writers, a thorough discography compiled by the author himself, and more than 400 photographs and articles of memorabilia, from candid backstage images and live performance photography to picture sleeves, gig posters, period print ads, ticket stubs, backstage passes, and more. The result is a visually stunning and authoritative review befitting the rock band with one of the most devoted fan bases ever. Review: Excellent book - As a diehard hard fan,I grew up with these guys in the 70's.Living in upstate NY,Rush toured through here nearly every year,and we never missed a show.This book is an absolute superior history of the band.Gotta be in your library if you are a fan.Martin Popoff did an excellent job here,the book is laid out in chronological order with great background and photos.Heck,the cover alone is worth the price. Review: RUSH Heaven - As a long time Rush fan this book is great! Lots of photos of everything Rush related. I even found a photo of a ticket stub to an Oklahoma City concert that I went to when I was 17 years old. One of the things I always enjoy is reading about the creative processes of the bands. This book doesn't disappoint... you find yourself in the room as songs are written and as the process of recording them takes place. Even though this book is a few years old it is well worth purchasing for the Rush fan and those wanting to learn about them. ## Features - Fully revised and updated, Rush is a richly illustrated history of one of the world's greatest rock bands. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,816,481 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4,063 in Rock Band Biographies #5,860 in Rock Music (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 248 Reviews | ## Images ![Rush - Updated Edition: The Unofficial Illustrated History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DrMR-yKYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book *by T***F on February 1, 2019* As a diehard hard fan,I grew up with these guys in the 70's.Living in upstate NY,Rush toured through here nearly every year,and we never missed a show.This book is an absolute superior history of the band.Gotta be in your library if you are a fan.Martin Popoff did an excellent job here,the book is laid out in chronological order with great background and photos.Heck,the cover alone is worth the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RUSH Heaven *by A***R on May 18, 2017* As a long time Rush fan this book is great! Lots of photos of everything Rush related. I even found a photo of a ticket stub to an Oklahoma City concert that I went to when I was 17 years old.

Even though this book is a few years old it is well worth purchasing for the Rush fan and those wanting to learn about them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely a must have for any Rush fan! *by P***O on May 25, 2013* This book is truly awesome. No literary awards will be won, but it has to be part of the collection for any true Rush fan. Of course, it closely mirrors the incredible Rush documentary "Beyond the Lighted Stage", but it also gives so much more. Terrific details about other bands the Canadian trio played in, additional short-term band members (a second guitarist!), rock and roll comic book excerpts, very old ticket stubs, and just an incredible number of vintage and contemporary pictures throughout. This hefty hard cover book is beautifully designed and constructed. I haven't been so excited to receive anything in the mail in a very long time! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/28453949-rush-updated-edition-the-unofficial-illustrated-history](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/28453949-rush-updated-edition-the-unofficial-illustrated-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
