UPDATE - 11/6@11:49AM: The Tom Sawyer (Live) digital single is now also available (Amazon, iTunes).

UPDATE - 11/6@9:42AM: I am now hearing that it will air on MONDAY at 6PM instead of Sunday.

According to an on-air promotion that ran last night on Sirius XM's Classic Rewind (Channel 25), the channel will be airing the entire audio from Rush's upcoming R40 Live CD this Monday at 6PM (thanks Michael S). There hasn't been any kind of online announcement that I'm aware of as of this post, so we are still waiting for an official confirmation. Rush's R40 Live concert film will be released on November 20th just in time for the Holidays, and will be available as 2 DVDs, 1 Blu-ray disc or 3 Audio CDs along with various combo packages. The Rush Backstage Club includes an optional t-shirt (seen here) with any purchase, and Best Buy's package includes a Rush Starman flashlight. The band has just released a preview of Tom Sawyer from the video online which you can check out below or on YouTube. Previews of The Spirit of Radio, Roll the Bones, Closer to the Heart, and Jacob's Ladder are also available, along with a 2-minute trailer for the film here. R40 Live's tracklisting mirrors the Friday, June 19th show setlist, with One Little Victory, Distant Early Warning and Red Barchetta from the June 17th show as bonus material on the DVD/Blu-ray. The CD will also include audio for Clockwork Angels, The Wreckers, The Camera Eye and Losing It with Jonathan Dinklage as bonus material. Digital versions of Roll the Bones (Amazon, iTunes) and Closer to the Heart (Amazon, iTunes) from the CD are available for purchase. There will also be a special London, UK screening of the film on November 17th. You can pre-order R40 Live at the following links:
