Last month, Harmonix announced that Rush's 1981 smash Moving Pictures would be the next full downloadable album added to the Rock Band catalog. But when it came time to flip the switch and take the content live, the studio encountered a technical difficulty and told fans it could be a matter of weeks before the album hit the game's music store.
