According to Rush fan site Rush Is A Band, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson will be guests on the CBC's The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos this coming Wednesday, November 26th at 11PM.

In case you miss the interview, it should be up on the show's website within a couple days after it airs at this link.

Geddy Lee appeared on the show back in June of 2007.

As previously reported by Billboard, for its new DVD, "Snakes & Arrows Live," Rush took a somewhat different approach than on its last two video releases, 2003's "Rush in Rio" and 2005's "R30: 30th Anniversary World Tour."

"With this one we wanted to focus on the playing," singer/bassist/keyboardist Geddy Lee tells Billboard.com. "So a lot of the camera work features the interaction between Neil (Peart), Alex (Lifeson) and myself, a lot of the details that you don't normally cover in a DVD performance. So for fans of the music who love to see what everybody's fingers are doing and how we interact back and forth with each other, that became the overriding focus on this one."

"Snakes & Arrows Live" was shot with 21 High Definition cameras during a two-night stand in October 2007 at the Ahoy Rotterdam Arena in the Netherlands -- the same shows that produced the "Snakes & Arrows Live" album that came out in April. The two releases were separated, Lee says, because Rush wanted to have something out for its 2008 North American tour and also because "we needed more time to spend on the DVD to make it more special."

Besides the 24-song concert, the "Snakes & Arrows Live" DVD also includes four "authorized bootleg" songs from Atlanta in 2008, alternate versions of the songs "Far Cry" and "The Way the Wind Blows," a performance of "Red Sector A" from the 2004 R30 Tour and the "What's That Smell?" filmed comedic skit that opened the second half of the Snakes & Arrows Tour shows.
