With extensive, first-hand collections from Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart, as well as from family, friends, and fellow musicians, Anthem: Rush in the 70s is a detailed portrait of Canada's greatest rock ambassadors. The first of three volumes, Anthem puts the band catalogue, from their self-titled debut to 1978's Hemispheres into both Canadian and general pop culture context, and presents the trio of quintessentially dependable, courteous Canucks as generators of incendiary, groundbreaking rock 'n' roll.
