Thirty five concerts. Seventeen thousand motorcycle miles. Three months. One lifetime.

In May 2015 the veteran Canadian rock trio Rush embarked on their 40th anniversary tour, R40. For the band and their fans, R40 was a celebration and, perhaps, a farewell. But for Neil Peart, each tour is more than just a string of concerts; it's an opportunity to explore backroads near and far on his BMW motorcycle. So if this was to be the last tour and the last great adventure, he decided it would have to be the best one, onstage and off.

This third volume in Peart's travel series shares all-new tales that transport the listener across North America and through memories of 50 years of playing drums. From the scenic grandeur of the American West to a peaceful lake in Quebec's Laurentian Mountains to the mean streets of Midtown Los Angeles, each story is shared in an intimate narrative voice that has won the hearts of many listeners. Thoughtful and ever engaging, Far and Wide is an elegant scrapbook of people and places, music and laughter, from a fascinating road - and a remarkable life.

If you like Neil’s work, than this book, much like “The Garden”, is a fitting coda.
I miss him greatly and am ever so grateful for all the gifts that Neil, and the Guys from work, shared with me.
On, Sail On, Amigo.

What a talent he was.

this one has a lot of background information about Rush history and albums and lyrics. I think it's Neil's best book. I enjoy the travel log, but what I love most about these books is the insight into Neil's life and ideas and history.

Neil's best book

Neal always writes with great insight and perspective and this book is no exception. It follows the final tour of the band Rush, from Neil’s perspective in the motorcycle and behind the drum kit. It deals with what is important, people, relationships, nature and living life.

End to a beautiful life and band

Didn’t matter.
It’s rife with useful perspective; like all of Neil’s work,

Neal always had a way of capturing the ride, what a beautiful intertwined story of the final tour.

What a Ride

As a long time Rush fan and someone who saw them often in the 80's and once in the 90's, I was expecting something different from Peart. I was hoping to hear more about the R-40 tour, nuggets from the songs they wrote and stories from the road that involved his "workmates" Geddy and Alex. He may have already covered much of that in previous books but since this was my first I was surprised to hear mostly about his motorcycle routes during the tour. His death, and the fact that Rush had a pact to never play again without the others, led me to want to find out more about the wordsmith of Rush.

What I learned from this book was that Peart was a scholar who happened to also be an incredible drummer and technician. His depth of research on any given topic was enlightening. And when an occasional reference to a story that led to a song idea was introduced, well, that's what I couldn't get enough of although there is not much of that in this book. His insights into the small towns along tour routes, the love of America's backroads, the people that he met, and his struggles with agonizing pain in his legs and the joy of being a part of his youngest daughters early life were a wonderful glimpse into this man. To find out that from an early age he considered himself an outsider with paralyzing social anxiety were not something I would have ever known but now helps me listen to their music in a different light, ie, the song Limelight. For that glimpse alone this book was worth it to me.

As I read about Peart, I realized that we may not ever have the exact circumstances again for his contributions and the synergy that the band created together. Knowing the pain he suffered physically and mentally during tours, I can see this book must have been very cathartic to him to complete and wrap up a sensational career, not without misgivings, but that he got to end the tour on his terms and even pushed himself to the edge of the stage at the final performance. Bravo to Neil Peart for a life well lived and all of the pleasure he brought to so many avid fans.
