TFEman

Thought I'd pitch in my two cents. I built a copy of the red strat with Hentor specs a few years ago. Body and neck unfinished including having a luthier cut out the horn cavity ran me probably close to $1000. To add to that, thanks to Warmoth and their options, I was able to get a full floyd rose mount and get a EVH neck profile, LSR nut cut, and a allen screw adjuster for the truss rod near the neck pocket. Essentially, I get the specs I wanted while remaining faithful to the original guitar sonically. I think if you're gonna spend THAT kind of money on a guitar, don't waste it on something you can easily put together yourself for so much less. As much as I'd love to have one, when I heard the price I was turned off to it.

Gotta go with: Black PRS (honorable mention to the red one with the early model piezo bridge) (Black-Presto thru Time Machine, Red-Test For Echo & Vapor Trails) Great White Signature Aurora (HYF, Presto tours) Crimson Red AL Axcess LP (Time Machine, parts of Clockwork Angels and R40) Hentor (Permanent Waves thru Power Windows) ES-355 (All over, mostly early & later days)

It was their party song. It was the song they wrote that was kind of the perfect closer. It made you get up and dance and have fun one last time before they left. Plus when they started adding in the jams and stuff later on, it was a great way to end the night. You could tell in videos they loved it every time.

Just letting you know now that the montage from the doc isn't gonna be on the internet for a while. YouTube takes down everything from that doc right away.

According to the Time Stand Still doc, they play a quite weird and unsettling version of Subdivisions. I like it. Should be on their next album.

It's from the Auburn Hills show during the Presto tour in 1990. I don't know what gen VHS is widely spread, but it's not a first gen tape. The Time Stand Still DVD came with the real pro-shot footage from that night as bonus material. The VHS tape is the full show and they're exactly the same source, but the VHS is far worse quality.

YEah, I actually was able to recreate it just without most of the extra noises and sound effects they added over the songs.

If they do another Clockwork Angels release, I pray that it will be better video and audio than the official release. Those were not good.

Honestly, I'd love to get another TFE, Vapor Trails, or CA concert released on iTunes or something. The CA mix was awful, and the TFE & Vapor Trails tours left out some of my favorites: Limbo, Virtuality, Time and Motion, Ceiling Unlimited.

That's where the clips from the doc appear to be from. The quality doesn't look that much better than the low-gen stuff that's already out there, but at least there's an official release. It would have made sense to release the whole show (which I'm sure will happen in the future based on the past several years. Laura Secord.... Capitol Theatre....) I can't remember if I have the Palace DVD or not, but I have the whole show on video. Visually, the 3/8/90 Detroit show is better than Mountainview. You think so? I agree that in terms of wide shots and overall coverage and stuff it's better captured as a show but I've got both the Mountain View and Auburn Hills shows from 1990 and I think Mountain view is much cleaner audio and video-wise. That's why I was shocked to hear people say the bonus content comes from the Auburn Hills proshot. Bordercollie wrote elsewhere - "The Presto footage is indeed from the Auburn Hills March 8 show. Sounded fantastic and looked much better than what has been floating around the internet/trading circles. The played a montage of Red Barchetta through the years and there were brief audio/video clips from various releases, including the "new" Presto footage." But I haven't seen the doc yet so I'll be curious to see for myself. Secondly, TFEman wrote above "I can't stress enough that Rush has access to TONS of pro-shot footage that was always ready just in case they wanted to make a lconcert film. I would expect neither of those two boots to be the source of this new bonus content." but I couldn't disagree more. While their live audio recordings are almost surely extensive I'm pretty sure their video library is virtually exhausted other than the remaining half of the Toronto TFE show. The only hope for any other proshot shows would be if somehow another venue filmed show leaked. I'm still holding out hope that the RTB tour was also fully filmed at Auburn Hills. There are so many proshot clips from throughout the show and the previous and following tours were both filmed there. Other than that? We'd have to get really lucky that maybe one of the other venues like the Houston Summit that filmed often may have something in their vault. But that's about it. The ONLY other hope I see is more footage from shows we've already seen. For example, the Atlanta show in 2008 that the four bonus songs were pulled from. They obviously filmed more because there are several other different songs on Neil's own dvd that were filmed there. And then of course there's the slim hope that the remaining footage from the three 80s shows could be found and restored. I don't think we'll ever see any more of those though. But people who are just assuming that Rush has all these proshot shows just sitting in a vault are not realistic at all about that. I've heard people say things like "They should release a dvd from the Signals tour" or some other random thing as though they can just go back in time and film stuff. Filming a show is a major undertaking and is also almost impossible to do without people knowing. The idea that they set up (especially 20 or more years ago when there weren't even rearscreen cameras) and filmed shows that we don't know about is just fantasy. So those are my thoughts... I said that because I was told that by someone that the band supposedly sits on a lot of footage from a couple of tours. I never said I believe it, or that I know 100% for a fact. It was also kind-of an assumption, considering how on almost all of their live albums before R30, they have bonus tracks from different dates during the tour, or in the case of Different Stages, different dates from an entirely different tour. Geddy is on the record as saying that nearly every show from the Test For Echo Tour was recorded (audio) because they could (whether they still have all of that is another story entirely.) I thought this was also the case with the HYF tour, and every night has been recorded starting with January 22, 1994. How did you find that out? I knew there had to be some explaination for the Counterparts SBDs on Different Stages but I had no idea they recorded eery single show.

I wish they would release the rest of the HYF footage. They recorded over the three nights. They absolutely have to have all of the songs , or other funny bloopers and stuff that was cut out. I loved the ASOH CD. I play it over and over. I wore out the cassette AND the CD. I wish they would've included more on the DVD, but this is a totally different topic than the Presto footage.

I was thrilled with the quality of the bonus stuff. It definitely looked waaaaay better than the bootleg, and sounded good too

I pre-ordered it so it's still shipping right now. From what I hear, it is so much better than the bootleg version.

Honestly, the best we have to hope for is another record, but I think that's doubtful. I wish I could be optimistic and hopeful and say "Oh yeah they could go out one more time." That one last time already happened.

That was not even close to the worst. Available Light is what the some people are saying this extra stuff is supposed to be. There's no way rush would sell anything of that quality. It is not good, but contains one of their best sets of the tour. This vid is Mountain Views (or A View From The Mountain, I forget which one is which) and is waaaay better quality. I can't stress enough that Rush has access to TONS of pro-shot footage that was always ready just in case they wanted to make a lconcert film. I would expect neither of those two boots to be the source of this new bonus content.

So it looks like the guys who supposedly had a incredibly large amount of pro shot footage from tours that we didn't get any DVD or album up until now are finally starting to release it. I'm sure everyone knows by now, but with the new R40 doc "Time Stand Still" comes extra pro shot footage from the PResto tour, entitled "Live From The Rabbit Hole." Any thoughts?

That's funny! Hopefully there's a better video of it out there. If you click the video and watch it on youtube its great quality. I don't know why it isn't as good on this site

I tried to get one from every album and to build off of their actual set. I also tried to squeeze in my favorites, although there's still a lot I left out.

I think it would've been nice to have one song from each album as a base for the whole set and then expand upon that. I loved the entire concert, but there's a lot of songs from between Signals and Vapor Trails they could have played that they didn't.

Thanks everybody! It's been a great three years. It's still a lot of fun to be a part of this forum and to see quite a few people wish me a happy anniversary is always really nice to see.

I ain't hearing it. Official release? (sorry to interrupt, Edhunter. Here's the last question again:) Rush was not played on the very first day MTV aired. What Rush producer WAS? (3 times) Day Tripper And I Feel Fine What I mean is, though, I don't hear those riffs when I listen to the end of the Trees on R30. It sounds like Lifeson is just riffing on the thing from the middle of the song. Wasn't on the live album. It was played on the other dates, though.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf3RG405M60 One of my favorite live versions of the trees.
