Holdyourfireal Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Will Ole/Anthem ever bother to release? Go to 11:08: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdog2112 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Yeah I think we all saw the interview at the time. I mean we’ve known it exists, we’ve had half of it for 10 years. Would be nice to get the rest at some point. From what I understand Different Stages has been out of print for a long time, I’ve had some hopes in recent years they would re-release it as a Blu-ray/cd package to have an opportunity to release the whole film. I guess it’s always possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this is the Molson Amphitheatre Show that was partially released on the (original) R40 Box Set Bonus Disc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malm_51 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Do Geddy and Alex have any say in what gets released? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 There is a technical problem with the video if I remember correctly. Which I think is why only half was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, there had been known audio problems previously but I doubt that was the case, it took money and more modern technology but I think they fixed the whole thing. To me it seems pretty clear that they cherry picked all the songs that didn’t previously have live video releases plus a few more. The released songs are from throughout the show so the odds seem remote that any audio defects would only have been limited to songs we already have versions of and just happened to skip Nobody’s Hero and all the TFE songs and all of 2112, etc. It’s more likely that it was a partial on purpose. Especially when even the songs they did release weren’t on all versions, you had to get the completist version for three of them. The pattern has been there with several. We got part of the AFTK show and the whole thing much later. We got part of the R30 concert and the whole thing much later. The 1974 and 1976 shows were released a couple songs at a time and the whole thing much later. They also only released half of the Presto show, which also just happened to have all the Presto songs that weren’t available anywhere else. I think it’s obviously intentional spacing it out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine they probably retain some veto or final approval power when approached by the new owners, but I can’t imagine they have any creative or initiative input whatsoever. In other words, there’s no chance Geddy and Alex will ever say “Hey guys, next we want you to put together a package featuring this tour” (or era or whatever). And I seriously doubt they know about what’s in the “vault” more than anyone else. And I’m sure they don’t really care. Most bands’ members don’t live in the past like the fans do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obnoxious is what it is. This, sadly, is exactly the kind of thing Neil was complaining about in The Spirit of Radio. Glittering prizes and endless compromises, indeed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdog2112 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 I guess so. I think it’s just practical business reality for them. I swear I remember an interview or at least a quote from Pegi Cecconi that was to the effect of “If we put everything out we have at once we’ll be empty quickly because there’s really not that much.” I hate relating that stuff by memory because even though I’m pretty OCD and have a good memory I know I’ll be asked now to go find it and verify it. But I’m pretty sure it was her and that was the gist of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmai Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 I think that in a few months AI will consent to release stuff that seems ruined... so let's wait for everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just get consulted and maybe have some level of approval. Basically, they're out of the Rush business at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that too but they can do better organizing what's on the releases instead of doing it piecemeal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
