Rush To Include Unreleased Live Songs On ‘A Farewell To Kings’ Reissue -











Rush recently announced they'll be releasing a 40th anniversary reissue of their seminal album A Farewell to Kings. Originally released in 1977 by Anthem Records, the band's fifth studio album was certified platinum and their first to reach gold status in the United States. A remastered version came out in 1997, but A Farewell to Kings — 40th Anniversary will feature much more Rush than just the original music.

The Super Deluxe Edition will include 4 LP's and 3 CD's with audio of the original album, a previously unreleased live performance at the Hammersmith Odeon, a series of Rush covers by bands such as Dream Theater and Big Wreck, as well as a selection of tracks in high quality Blu-ray audio format. Extra goodies will include new cover art for each album by Rush creative director Hugh Syme, 12,000 words worth of liner notes by Grammy-winning rock historian Rob Bowman, plus a King's Ring with velvet pouch, two lithographs, and a reproduction of the original A Farewell to Kings Tour program.

A Farewell to Kings — 40th Anniversary will also ship in three other, less extensive configurations for fans who want strictly CD, LP, or digital formats. The sets are available for pre-order now on the Rush website, and are due out December 1 of this year.

Gilbert Baker, Rainbow Flag Creator, Dead at 65

Image
Gilbert Baker, an artist and activist credited with creating the LGBT community's iconic rainbow flag, died Thursday night in his sleep at his home in New York City. He was 65. Baker, who taught himself how to sew after leaving the Army, had the idea to create the first rainbow flag as a symbol to unite San Francisco's LGBT community; other rejected symbols included a pink triangle and the Greek letter Lambda, San Francisco Gate reports. "I decided that we should have a flag, that a flag fit us as a symbol, that we are a people, a tribe if you will," Baker said at the Museum of Modern Art in 2015. "And flags are about proclaiming power, so it's very appropriate." The flag made its debut at the 1978 Gay Freedom Day Parade as an eight-colored banner, with each color representing a certain meaning: sexuality (pink), life (red), healing (Orange), sunlight (yellow), nature (green), art (turquoise), harmony (indigo) and the human spirit (violet). The fla...

Allman Brothers Band Detail Eight-Disc 'The Fox Box'

Image
The Allman Brothers Band will release an eight-disc set comprising songs from their sold-out, three-night run at Atlanta's Fox Theatre in September 2004. At the time they were touring on what would turn out to be their final studio album, Hittin' the Note . The Fox Box will feature a remastered audio mix and tighter song spacing than the versions that were released at the time and were made available during subsequent shows and through their internet mail order program. "Dreams" is the only song that is repeated from the 53 tracks in the box set. It appears three times, however a different guitar soloist – Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Jack Pearson – is featured in each instance. The 2004 lineup included founding members Gregg Allman and drummers Butch Trucks and Jaimoe, along with percussionist Marc Quinones, guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks and bassist Oteil Burbridge. Guitarist Jack Pearson, who was in the band from 1997 to 1999, was a special guest. ...

NBA Playoffs: Draymond’s elite defense in Warriors' Game 1 shows his all-time caliber

Image
The elite players throughout NBA history are legends because they were able to do things no one else could do. Magic Johnson's vision at his size. Michael Jordan's incomparable will and shot-making. Stephen Curry's ability to shoot off the dribble at percentages never before believed possible. Dennis Rodman's uncanny ability to always find the ball. Shaquille O'Neal's physical dominance.  To be among the best to ever do something in the NBA, it has to be built upon something that sets you apart, not just a precision, but a specific combination of style and play that defines you as an all-time great.  Draymond Green is in the process of making his case as one of the all-time best defenders in NBA history.  "He played a game that I'm not sure anybody else in the league is capable of, honestly. Who else can do what Draymond just did tonight?"  Steve Kerr after Draymond  It's supremely easy to call that an overreaction or a hot take in the ...
