As promised, here is more 8mm footage. This time from the A Farewell To Kings tour. The reel is pretty short, but was shot from a great angle and the band is visible the entire time. Enjoy!

New 1974 uncirculated recording unearthed!

I'm friends with the guy who acquired the tape, Bytor X-1. That was an exciting day when he told me about it. -
The Fountain of Lamneth live - the Holy Grail of Rush live recordings
TheGhostRider replied to caskof43's topic in Rush
I'm not a huge fan of the song, but If a tape of the song being played live exists I'd love to hear it. I do have a few friends who would be thrilled to hear a recording of the song, assuming it exists. -
Rush Live December 31st, 1976 (NEW 4K 8mm Scan)
TheGhostRider replied to TheGhostRider's topic in Rush
On a sad note, Andy Kaleta, the guy who originally filmed this footage passed away from cancer a few days ago. Thank you Andy for allowing your reels to be scanned, and may you rest in peace. -
The Fountain of Lamneth live - the Holy Grail of Rush live recordings
TheGhostRider replied to caskof43's topic in Rush
It's not likely, but not impossible either to find a recording of the song. I Think I'm Going Bald was rumored for years to have been played live, and we finally proved it was when the Randhurst Tape surfaced publicly. So there is a small chance that if it was played, someone out there has a tape of it. -

TheGhostRider replied to TheGhostRider's topic in Rush
I would not be surprised if that's the case. The Twilight Zone was a song that was rarely played live. The band only played it for about 5 months and then it was dropped permanently from the setlist. I don't remember where I heard this but I heard somewhere that they never really figured out how they wanted the song to sound live so that's primarily why they stopped playing it. That could be wrong though so don't quote me on it. -

TheGhostRider replied to TheGhostRider's topic in Rush
I'll give you a pass since we only very recently got footage of this song. It's The Twilight Zone. This is also the earliest known footage of the song being played. There's three other clips of the song being played that we have. Three of them (including this one) were only discovered and made public last year, while the last one was not identified until recently. -

Glad you enjoyed it. I can't give any specifics, but let's just say that you should expect to see some more really cool stuff soon. -
Excited to share this. Through the combined efforts of my good friend Bytor X-1 at Rush Archives and Classic Rock Media Archive, a new channel that has been remastering and releasing 8mm and 16mm footage of classic rock groups, they were able to get this footage restored and synced with actual audio of the concert. Previously this footage was only available as a poor quality VHS transfer. Enjoy!

Extremely excited for the opportunity to hear these tapes and see this footage in the future. Unfortunately for me I have to agree with 1-001, showing us any kind of snippet would probably lower the value of said tapes. That being said, they are probably pretty valuable.

It's already been pointed out but the worst part is that the audience for the band is naturally getting smaller as time passes, and the original fans who have been loyal since the beginning aren't getting any younger. The time to release the hidden gems is now, Not 5-10 years down the line. I'm sure it get some lame corporate response or be ignored entirely but at this point do the fans have to create a petition to get more material released?
