    Next week we'll be getting Fly By Night, Caravan, and a live version of The Spirit of Radio (no idea which version, it doesn't sound like any one I've ever heard, maybe from their Time Machine tour?). Harmonix is also saying "these three tracks are just the tip of the iceberg for Rush fans; we’ll have even more exciting Rush/Rock Band news before the year’s out, so stay tuned!"

    Can I get a HELL YEAH!?

    PS - Word on the street is that the "even more exciting news" is 2112. Is your body ready? The answers is no.

    Boom.

    EDIT: Here's the official announcement from Harmonix. Be sure to note the fact that you can pick up the ENTIRE 20 MINUTE SUITE if you pick up the pack itself, not purchase the songs individually. Also, the pack comes with FREE Pro Upgrades for Guitar and Bass.

    Hey gang,

    Harmonix today announced that Rush’s ambitious seven-part suite “2112” will come to the Rock Band™ Music Store of downloadable content for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Wii™.

    In 1976, legendary Canadian rock trio Rush released their groundbreaking fourth studio album, 2112. With its opening track – a 20-minute, seven-part suite known as “2112” – Rush painted a picture of a sci-fi world in the midst of a revolution, controlled by technology. An alternate take of this epic suite, largely considered one of the most important pieces in progressive rock, comes to Rock Band just in time for the New Year.

    “2112” will be offered as three separate playable packages: one combines “Overture” and “The Temple of Syrinx”; the second features “Discovery” and “Presentation”; and the final track brings “Oracle: The Dream,” “Soliloquy,” and “Grand Finale.”

    Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players have the option to purchase the single Rush “2112” pack, which features all three of the above tracks, as well as one, 20-minute marathon medley of all seven parts of the suite, exclusively available in this special pack. Additionally, as a bonus, players will receive Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrades for all three packages, as well as a Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrade for the medley for free!

    Available on Xbox 360 (December 31, 2011), and PlayStation and Wii (January 3rd, 2012)

    • Rush – “2112: Overture, The Temple of Syrinx” X
    • Rush – “2112: Discovery, Presentation” X
    • Rush – “2112: Oracle: The Dream, Soliloquy, Grand Finale” X

    (These tracks will be available in Europe on PlayStation®3 system January 18th)

    The tracks will be available as “Rush ‘2112’”with all tracks available for purchase individually on Xbox 360, PlayStation®3 system and Wii™. Tracks marked with “X” will offer Pro Guitar and Pro Bass expansions for $0.99 per song.

    Price:

    $5.49 USD, £2.49 UK, €3.99 EU (440 Microsoft Points, 550 Wii Points™) for the “Rush ‘2112’” pack
    $1.99 USD, £.99 UK, €1.49 EU (160 Microsoft Points, 200 Wii Points™) per song
    $0.99 USD (100 Wii Points™/80 Microsoft Points), £0.59 UK, €0.79 EU per song for eligible Pro Guitar/Pro Bass upgrade
