This is like three different places you've posted this.  They don't mention GuP AT ALL in this interview, particularly not the "found footage."  What are you going on about?

Proving that the Doug Maher interview isn't fake.

Maybe I misunderstand what you mean here, but you can't "prove" a negative. Prove to me you've never injected heroin -- no one's ever seen you? You did it in private. No one will say you bought it from them? A middle man or no one is willing to confess. No trace levels of drugs or needle marks? It's been long enough to disappear. Etc., etc.

 

"You can't prove it isn't true" is untestable/the appeal to ignorance. What sort of evidence would work? Screenshots from this guy's computer showing him editing the interviews? Maybe he was just testing some new software. Where's his evidence they're real; that should be the test.

What a completely circular argument! "They're fake!" What's your evidence for saying that? "What's your evidence they're legit?" So stupid. All Headline News was a thing. Doug Maher wrote for them. Many of the facts contained in this (2007?) interview are confirmed in the 2022 YouTube interview with the Fogo guys but we still can't believe the original interview because Doug Maher wrote it! 🤣🤣🤣

Another great bonus feature for the Grace Under Pressure 40th Anniversary Box Set, is including the Body Electric animate cartoon.

 

 

Don't give them any ideas! I just want a Blu-ray of the entire show with the found footage and a CD covering the same!

Until I saw the recent Ray Wawrzyniak interview, I didn't think a Grace Under Pressure 40th Anniversary box set would happen.

I found these posts below and believed it to be a no-go.

Post 1
Post 2

I read through these and because I've had many correspondences with him over the years, I am 99% sure that they were written by Doug Maher. One of the problems with the guy is that besides having a lot of info on the band, he seems to revel in being a "Monday Morning Quarterback" concerning their career. I think this aspect of his personality turns a lot of people off which is why many don't believe interview he had with the FogoLabs guys concerning the GUP footage. Personally, I think he may be a bit obsessive, judgmental and arrogant, but I believe most of what he posts.

Producer and director Pierre Lamoureux:

"We found the footage for ‘Grace’, Lamoureux says."

"When Blu-Ray technology becomes more popular and we are able to extend things out to levels beyond where we are at currently…we can then go back and release the found footage that was not on the original release."

"We didn’t expect to find the ‘Grace Under Pressure stuff… and we did.’"

Full interview here: https://bravewords.com/news/rush-producer-director-talks-about-upcoming-dvds/

They discuss their 17 year association with Rush at the 1:24:49 mark. They discuss the found Grace Under Pressure footage we are hoping finally appears on the forthcoming Grace Under Pressure Deluxe Edition rumored to be released in Quarter 4 of 2025. They discuss the Rush demos at 1:30:00:

I was a kid posting on Rush forums 20 years ago under a different name but I vividly remember Doug Maher's "exclusive" interviews being pretty widely debunked as totally made up. Weird guy.

I remember as well and I also remember that no one ever produced evidence that they were fake. They just didn't like the guy. To me, it often came across as jealousy that Maher had a little access to the band. Again, he IS credited on one of the documentaries (Beyond the Lighted Stage, I believe. Watch the end credits). As far as his personality, I have corresponded with him and been FB friends. Our politics definitely do not align and I suspect they are the reason he dropped me. He does appear to be a little strange but nothing he ever said to me makes me think his interview with the Fogolabs guys is "fake."

If it’s on Facebook I don’t ever believe it. Just a rule of thumb.

 

Any “missing footage” would likely be beta or 3/4” cassettes, of unedited video, without sound.

 

Any multitrack audio would have to be tracked down and mixed.

 

It is a VERY LONG shot that this footage and audio would be discovered in a condition that could be usable.

 

It would be a substantial undertaking to edit colorize and mix missing material from that concert.

 

Perhaps the best chance is missing audio from this or other shows. But I think we would’ve heard it.

 

Maybe a good mix from their Hawaii performance?

You're the reason I'm super wary of anything from that FB group. If the admins get that butt hurt over being corrected on misinfo, who knows what other garbage is allowed to fly there. 

Turns out that Admin KNEW it was fake/AI the entire time. He's still using the image but now he's referring to it as "fan art."

Has it arrived yet??? Can I come in from the cold?? 

No. It's still a rumor that has again been "confirmed," this time by "Super Fan" Ray W. Nothing official.

So now there are Rush misinformation sites? I'd have to figure they are ridiculously easy to spot.

The Admin at the Different Stages for Rush FB Group posted the "cover" to the GUP 40th Anniversary many months ago. When I researched the image and found out it was fan made, I mentioned this to him. He immediately banned me. 

How is this a "forgotten photo?" I've seen it many many times over the years. You sure seem to be clickbating here lately.

I hope the reality doesn't hit you hard.

I definitely believe it exists. Will Ole/Anthem pay to reintegrate it into a Blu-Ray? This is where I have doubts. It will be very sad if the Neil Red Lenses drum solo footage exists and the fans never get to see it.

This has nothing to do with Rush. ole/anthem bought a zombie. Enjoy the embarrassment of riches Rush has given us before they rode off into the sunset for the next chapter.

Agreed. For good or ill, this is Ole/Anthem's ballgame now.

I don't think he would gamble with his standing by going into details he may or may not be aware of. I think the label is still having internal discussions about moving forward.  They have no clue what they bought into.

B-MAN (Who I personally know as he lives near me and we've hung out here and in Canada) gambled with his standing with the band by playing "A Show of Hands" (actually, Red Sector A live from the Big Money single) and the Hold Your Fire album pre-release on Philly radio, so these uber fans DO make mistakes. I doubt Ray was supposed to blurt that out. May cost him like it cost the B-Man. I hope not.

The discussion about this is on page 8 of this very thread  from May 19 2024 which includes my assessment and others commenting about the validity of this article.

 

"There is also NO supporting evidence in nearly 20 years that has come out about this claim from ANYONE. The video posted recently that the Rush stuff that has been cataloged does not even mention anything about any live material."

I know everyone hates Doug Maher but reading the article, it doesn't seem made up. Also, in 20 years, no one has presented evidence that it's false. Finally, it's weird that everyone seems to think this Ray guy is legit because he has credits on the documentary. Guess who else has credits on, at least, one Rush documentary? If you said, Doug Maher, you would be right. Listen, there's always been that one uber fan with "secret info." First it was B-Man, then Maher, now Ray. I don't think any of them have lied. I just think some have let it go to their heads and we don't like some of them because of that.

And  time to stop supporting RUSH and Anthem altogether!! We are the fans that have been putting hard earned money into this band for many years, concert tickets, vinyl, cassettes, 8 track tape and compact disc in many forms!! Give us the goods!! Time to send a message if this is not delivered!!

They have gotten my support and thousands of dollars since 1984. I only started wavering with Signals 40th, which I finally bought at a greatly discounted price and R50, of which I went here: https://us.7digital.com/artist/rush/albums and only bought the FLACs I needed.

He could be talking about the master audio tapes/files for the GUP replay release.

He IS talking about the Replay X3 release. He states they found the Grace FOOTAGE but not Exit... or A Show of Hands.

Cool. I posted this days ago in the GUP thread. You posted about it in a new thread you created and now you've created another thread. 🤣🤣🤣

I guess you folks missed this that I posted in the GUP thread?

Well, this "Rush super fan" that, somehow, I never heard of until the Time Stand Still documentary, Ray Wawrzyniak, has provided us with info about what is now being dubbed as the Grace Under Pressure Deluxe Edition. If he is to be believed, the 40th Anniversary branding is gone. That's probably a good thing. Marillion is my second favorite band and they've been calling their releases "Deluxe Editions" since the beginning. I think that makes more sense in the long term. Anyway, if you want to skip all the idol worshipping, his "Breaking News" starts at 27:25:

these are no longer 40th anniversary releases   rather, they're simply "deluxe reissues"   so the date/year doesn't matter.   

Interesting. I wish they would do them in the same format Marillion does (the CD/Blu-Ray ones). Theirs are very classy looking.
