Longtime Toronto-based radio morning drive time duo, Humble and Fred, recently launched a highly successful podcast and will have RUSH guitarist Alex Lifeson on as a guest this Friday (November 4th) around 1:30 PM (EST).

You can listen in online at this location.

Music Radar has posted an exclusive clip for the track 'Working Man', featured on Rush's upcoming Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland DVD. Check it out at this location.

RUSH played their 1981 album Moving Pictures every night on their 2010-2011 Time Machine tour and frontman Geddy Lee tells Rolling Stone it was a tough to pick one show to film for a DVD and CD release. "We realized that we've recorded almost all of our DVDs abroad. And we had never done one in America, and we noticed we were doing Cleveland on the last leg of the tour. We though it was an appropriate choice seeing as Cleveland's such an important town in our history. It was the first city that was ever warm to us. We thought it would be kind of apropos to come full circle and do that particular show there."

Check out the Rolling Stone video with Geddy Lee below:

On November 8th, Rush will simultaneously release

- Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland - full concert on BluRay/DVD with bonus material
- Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland full concert as 2 CD live album
- Moving Pictures: Live 2011 on vinyl and digital formats

Captured in April at Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena during the renowned trio’s extensive Time Machine World Tour, Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland marks the band’s first live album recorded at a show in United States, and a deliberate nod of gratitude to the first city to support Rush on its radio airwaves. The wildly popular tour featured a set filled with classic hits, fan favorites, and a glimpse into Rush’s forthcoming 20th studio album, Clockwork Angels. As a centerpiece for the concerts, the band performed their landmark album, Moving Pictures, live in its entirety – a first in the band’s long and illustrious career.

In addition to the 26-song concert set, Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland on BluRay/DVD formats will include the band’s notorious concept tour videos; The 'Real' History Of Rush Episode No. 2 - Don’t Be Rash and The 'Real' History of Rush Episode No. 17 ...And Rock And Roll Is My Name. The bonus material features outtakes from the short films, an alternate film version video for 'Tom Sawyer', and two rare pieces of Rush live footage from the ‘70’s vault: 'Need Some Love' from Laura Second Secondary School with original drummer John Rutsey, and 'Anthem' from Passaic New Jersey.

Moving Pictures: Live 2011 marks the first live recording of the band’s most successful album to date. Originally released in 1981, this year marks the 30th anniversary of Moving Pictures, which features some of Rush’s most well-known songs like 'Tom Sawyer', 'Limelight', and 'YYZ'.

Anthem, Rush and Rounder Records have again selected D&E; Entertainment, who theatrically distributed the documentary Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage, to bring Time Machine to the big screen and movie theatres across the US starting October 26th. D&E; will also be working with Eagle Vision to bring Time Machine to theatres across the UK and other territories as well. The big screen HD digital cinema presentation will give fans the best seat in the house and transport them from the theatre to the front row of the concert. Info on all screenings will be available at RushTimeMachinePremiere.com.

VH1 will be airing a 2-hour concert culled from the footage as part of their annual Rushashana program on September 29th. This fall, Rush will be returning to the studio to resume work on their highly anticipated 20th studio album, Clockwork Angels, due out in spring 2012.
