    About this audiobook

    35 concerts. 17,000 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 illustrated travel series shares all-new tales that transport the reader 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 readers. Richly illustrated, 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.

      The Frank Zappa album The Man from Utopia includes the track “Tink Walks Amok,” which is an athletic study in syncopation and polyrhythms. It’s a cool track. I’ve owned the LP since its initial release in 1983 and heard it first on my elder brothers’

      This story was so much harder to get through knowing Neil is no longer with us, but it was also a great song song to both his touring and detailing a great motorcycle trip.

      Neil’s mastery of the English language is exceeded only by his mastery of drums. A fascinating travelogue and a testimony of his love of Americana painted against a tableau of music, people and Neil’s complex character.

      Being a fan of Rush for many years, I was hesitant to read any of Neil Peart's travel logs as it were. I am not quite sure why exactly. That changed with Far and Wide as I became a bit nostalgic when the realization that one of my favorite bands of all time were coming to the end of the road. This made that blow a little bit lighter and gave an insight into a life well lived and weathered and all the great music that came from it. Thank you Mr. Peart... Enjoy your retirement!

      Another great travel and music book by Neil Peart. The book details his riding through various towns and back roads in America.
