I’ve Been Running, featuring original drummer John Rutsey, appears on R40 rarities disc

Rush have released a video featuring long-lost track I’ve Been Running, shot in 1974 with original drummer John Rutsey.

It was filmed at Laura Secord Secondary School in St Catherine’s, Ontario, and it’s one of a string of rarities included in the band’s upcoming R40 box set, which is launched on November 10.

Their eight-song show is featured in full alongside performances from 1976, 1997 and 2011. R40 also includes their last five live films: Rush in Rio (2003), R30 (2005), Snakes & Arrows Live (2008), Time Machine 2011: Live in Cleveland (2011) and Clockwork Angels Tour (2013).

Guitarist Alex Lifeson recently confirmed the band are planning to tour again next year.

Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
