Rush's latest live album - Snakes & Arrows Live - will be officially released this coming Tuesday, April 15th. John over at Cygnus-x1.net just obtained a preview copy of the CD and scanned the contents which you can check out at this link. There are a lot of great live photos of the band and the album has been dedicated to Rush's former publicist Shelly Nott who died earlier this year. You can listen to 30-second preview clips of all the tracks at Amazon.com at this link. As I'd mentioned a couple of weeks ago, over the next few days select radio stations nationwide will air a one-hour radio special produced by FMQB Productions and hosted by Lou Brutus titled Inside Rush: Snakes & Arrows Live. The special will feature 7 songs from the album along with an interview with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson.
