The band never did the expected thing. If you recall, New World Man was the last song recorded for the album. They didn't know the single was going to chart at that time. They didn't spend a lot of time on it. I can't see them worrying about a video when they were due to rehearse for the tour. Now at some point, they obviously would have been made aware that the song was a "hit." However, I can easily understand why they would go back and do it because they continued to move forward. I've never come across any information about what goes into specific video decisions. They have been generally dismissive about the concept over the years preferring not to spend the money. Usually the lead track would get the video. but that was never 100 percent certain either.

Why hasn't he written an update to get to the bottom of this? Where in these videos does either one say that they are sitting on live recordings? It also seems, based on their comments, that they may not have any current association with the band and the recordings.

Basic summary of his doc...

It has already been preordered. The full monty version without the vinyl......

Already watched it. Sounded pretty good. Crowd did seem into it.

That's kind of the point. There wasn't one. They did what they wanted. This rubbed some people the wrong way. How dare they!

I'll settle for a few facts. Post a few.

As I said before, that could have been him. He's always disagreed with the band's marketing strategy and thinks he knows what's best for the band. Don't know if you could prove that one way or the other. that he wrote them.

He's not credited on Beyond The Lighted Stage or the Time Stand Still docs. Just went to the shelf, popped them in and checked the credits. Popoff, of course, is there. I imagine the credits are also online somewhere.

At least there are a number of bootlegs out there. A few of them on video.

I would have to think anyone who has been a long time fan would know this as it would serve as a cautionary tale.

This has nothing to do with the guy who is responsible for the article. There has been circumstantial evidence. It hasn't been supported by even ONE other account. In all this time, with Rush fans driving themselves nuts about any news of what's out there to be release, no other person decided to investigate or ask that question for an update of this? Every time this single article has been the one reference to support that there is more footage. (I'm now curious. What documentary does Maher have a credit?

Labeling it "fan art" removes any responsibility of accountability.

Can't speak to that as I'm not on Facebook and incidents like that are part of the reason.

I don't see that as relevant in any way to me and ignore it for the most part, but like bitcoin, there are many that believe. Ways to bait the hook are constantly evolving. I suppose there are few save havens anymore.

I hope the reality doesn't hit you hard.

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.

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.

Not being on Reddit, I never saw this before. Thanks for posting it. All of it seems plausible to me based on what I observed on that timeline. I'd love to know who this is because definitely got a feel for that entire period. I do harbor a small percentage of doubt based on placing the blame on the the band because they didn't play ball with the industry. (That happens to be one of their defining traits and a reason why many love the band.) That part of it kind of reminds me of the guy who "wrote" the article and previously ranted on the band owing their fans regularly on alt.music.rush in the '90s. Also begs the question of how bad the dumpster fire would have been on these releases is Hugh Syme wasn't involved.

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."

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

Seems to me like they didn't want to redesign the sleeves. (or the Magee's weren't used) Unfortunately, we may never know unless the ones who made these speak up as it seems not to be important enough to release this information.

I would tend to think that this is old news and the label doesn't care. Also, if Terry has that, then what else does he have? Perhaps he feels he hasn't been properly compensated or there has been a veto before the finish line.

Based on about a half-dozen you tube shows I've seen, I really like the vibe and the fusion aspect but I'm out of touch as to how they got to the level they are live band. I'd probably see them in a club or maybe a theater but I can't see how that translates into playing arenas but I seem to be out of touch regarding many who are managing to larger venues these days.

Fascinating.
