Tourbooks"Our first 'official' tour book was for our A Farewell to Kings tour...some traditions were established immediately: an introductory prose piece written by me (each a clumsy experiment, but part of my writing apprenticeship), and a personal page by each of us with equipment details and such...Whatever it took, I wanted those tour books ready for the first show, because they were important to me – partly because they fell into my "works on paper" department, but more than that, because I liked them. I had often bought tour books at other people’s shows, and kept them as souvenirs, so I understood the value of them to the buyer, and it was (and is) satisfying to see that each of ours was nicer in every way than the one before." - Neil Peart, The Complete Tour Books 1977-2004 |
