We learned last week via a listing at SpinCDs that Rush would be releasing a special R40 video box set on 6 Blu-ray discs or 10 DVDs this coming November to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Rush made the release official today when they posted this announcement to Rush.com. The announcement contains a few more details that hadn't been in the SpinCDs listing, such as the full track list for the Laura Secord Secondary School set, which will be the FULL show including the 2 unreleased tracks I've Been Runnin' and The Loser, along with their cover of Bad Boy. The set will include Rush's 5 most recent live videos (Rush in Rio, R30, Snakes & Arrows Live, Time Machine, Clockwork Angels Tour) along with an R40 bonus disc, all contained in a 52 page hardback book measuring 305mm x 225mm (12" x 9"). The bonus disc will include the Laura Secord Secondary School 1974 footage, the Passaic, NJ Capitol Theatre show from 1976, Lock and Key live from 1988, Rush at the Molson Amphitheatre in 1997, the I Still Love You Man video from 2011 and the Rush portion of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction in 2013.
