[The Long Haul: After 30 years, Rush still packing arenas with three-hour shows]

Alex Lifeson recently spoke with Jason Bracelin of the Las Vegas Review-Journal about the new album and tour. Lerxst talks about how the band prepares for the physical demands of touring and has something to say to those younger bands:

... "Yeah, what's up with that?" Lifeson chuckles at his band's marathon sets. "What's with all these young bands who play for an hour and 10 minutes, an hour and 20 minutes -- I don't think anybody plays for more than about an hour and 40 minutes. And they're all young and should be playing for three hours, not like us old farts." ...

He then goes on to discuss Snakes & Arrows. You can read the entire article at this link. Thanks to Ghost Writer for the heads up.
