Book Reviews of Roadshow: Landscape With Drums: A Concert Tour by Motorcycle
Book Review: Concert Tour as Great Excuse to Ride Motorcycles!
Summary: 5 Stars
Another great book by Neil Peart, and I think my favorite one so far. Those that are looking for "the life of a rock star while on the road" book will be disappointed, as Peart spends little time on the mechanics of soundchecks, catering tables and road hijinks; rather this book is another homage to seeing life and the world from the saddle of a motorcycle. Peart's area of expertise -- as an author and at this point -- are travel-type books, where he takes us all along on a road trip and lets us into his thoughts and musings during the journey. People can talk about how private he is, but when one really thinks about it, through his many books Peart has revealed more of his inner "self" than almost any musician out there.
The book covers Peart's travels during the course of his band's 30th anniversary tour through North America and Europe. Peart prefers to travel between stops mostly by motorcycle, keeping a journal during the course of the trip. What I enjoyed most about the book was his interactions with his travelling companions, Michael and Brutus - it gives it a "buddy book" feel. I also enjoyed Peart's detailed descriptions of some of the truly unique places that he visited, such as Andrew Carnegie's Skibo Castle in Scotland. He spends a good four to five pages writing about his stay there, and makes one feel like he or she is there with him.
I very much recommend this book - Peart's best effort yet. You won't be disappointed!
