As much as I'd love to see a release like this happen, I have my doubts that it ever will, for a few different reasons. 1) Physical Media is a dying industry. With the exceptions of collectors and preservationists, most people simply do not care for Physical forms of media. As a result Anthem would be less likely to release an updated remastered release for such a small percentage of people. 2) The Footage might not exist anymore. In all the research I've done on this topic, I have never found any evidence to suggest that the film reels were preserved or held onto. It's to the contrary actually. I recall reading a post someone posted on the forum where it was mentioned that nobody bothered to keep track of the film reels after each live video was released in the 80's. Additionally, sources close to Rush have stated that the band had absolutely zero interest in older footage of themselves and as a result they did not go to any lengths to preserve it. A lot of the older footage that we do have exists only because it was preserved by third parties or by people close to the band who stepped in to save it.Even for the R40 boxset, they used the same old video transfers for footage that was included. The bonus Lock and Key Footage from ASOH was from the same old video transfer as the VHS/Laserdisc, and DVD release. Not a remastered and newly scanned negative. I'd love to be wrong, but I do believe that the original negatives for ESL, GUP, and ASOH are probably long gone or unaccounted for.

Kind of an odd request, but I figured I'd give it a try. Does anybody here have any 8mm or other film footage of Rush that you're willing to sell or trade for? I've been scouring the Internet for leads surrounding people who might have any footage. I am most interested in footage from the mid 1970's, but I will buy any footage that is offered. I hope to have the footage digitized and synced to sound before being publicized online. Please leave a reply or pm me if you have any offers you'd like to arrange or if you happen to know anybody that does have footage that would be willing to talk. Thanks!

I'm in Central Texas, where I'm located it will be visible for about 3 minutes. Got my glasses ready for the day of the eclipse.

He probably means the Bootleg recording of the show. A taper filmed one of the Auburn Hills shows and that exists online.

Nobody knows for sure where the Auburn Hills footage is. Allegedly it was filmed by Anthem (or so I've heard) but no full copy is circulating anywhere. Currently a very small snippet of the Soundcheck and concert are all that are publicly available. I've also heard that Irvine was filmed but I don't have any more info regarding that show. A European Roll The Bones show was also at least partially filmed. Footage from the Cologne, Germany show exists online.

Yes Hartford was the first show of the Vapor Trails Tour and the first show in 5 years.

The bass didn’t sound great in any of the available audio boots of this show. We used 2 different audio sources (Celebrate The Moment, Ceddy’s Hartford) in a matrix to try to have a more dynamic sound, but it only had a marginal effect. That being said, it is huge improvement over the original camcorder audio.

Making this thread to post all of the songs that have been remastered so far. Been working with Stickhits to release these songs and really happy with how they've turned out so far. Will update as more gets released. Hope you guys enjoy!

Here's an audio recording of Rush on ABC's In Concert On October 11th, 1974, The show was not broadcast until December 6th of that year though. The performance was filmed at the Aquarius Theater In Los Angeles. Besides the audio, nothing else from this performance has materialized. This is probably a long shot, but does anybody know any old school traders or someone who might potentially own a copy of the footage? I have searched on and off for this footage for months to no avail. What's strange too is that other band's from that show exist online already, but Rush does not. A company called Historic Films has a tape of this broadcast listed as being in their archives, but Rush is not listed in the description, and they do not sell tapes or digital recordings for anything other than professional use. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Audio Recording: Here's some other stuff I was able to dig up. Copy and pasted from my Reddit Post a while back.

He’s killing it with the remasters, as usual. He’s a really cool guy too, we have a project we’re working on together right now, stay tuned for that also.

For what it’s worth an audio sync is being worked on right now. I don’t want to spoil much but a preview is available on my and my buddy’s social media page who is one of the people working on the sync. You can check out a small preview here. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwtiVc5sztOMNLFuZKKW9lViAF39FM0HVFLYwU0/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Update: After digging around we found the the 8mm footage. Turns out a copy was sitting on an old phone. We still don’t know who filmed it or where it was filmed but it’s now found and uploaded on YouTube again.

Posting this to try and help out a friend. A small group of us separate from the forum gotten very serious about tracking down and preserving Rush audio and video recordings. About 7 years ago a friend screen recorded a low quality video of the New World Tour shot on 8mm film. The video has since disappeared from YouTube. The only copy we have right now is badly cropped and watermarked. I think it's a long shot but does anybody recognize this footage and recall the show or maybe even the uploader? Would make him really happy to track down this piece of lost footage.

Lol true. Some things are better left unsaid.

The clip of the movie? I just googled the guy’s name from the Documentary and a link to a Wikipedia page about the movie popped up. Then I found a link to the movie on YouTube and just skimmed through until I found the clip. Wasn’t hard honestly.
