Far and Wide

Bring That Horizon to Me

By: Neil Peart

Narrated by: Paul Hecht

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.

Cheers bubba!

Thank you for peeling back the curtains on Rush and your riding adventures. RIP Professor!

Continuity

liked Mr. Hecht's performance. Preferred Mr. Sutherland for continuity. over all though, i thought it was very well done

What a talent he was.

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.

Farewell to a King

A great recap of the traveling between shows of the R40 your along with great stories and insights into the Professor

Neil's best book

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.
