Especially after reading this article... Exclusive: Producer Sheds Light On Working With Rock Band Rush October 12, 2005 8:04 p.m. EST Douglas Maher - All Headline News Staff Reporter Montreal, Canada (AHN) - Rush's producer and director Pierre Lamoureux sheds light on the upcoming "R:30 - Rush Live In Frankfurt, Germany" DVD package that is set to hit stores November 22. Lamoureux is responsible for the huge undertaking of not only the "R:30" package but the DVD releases of "Exit Stage Left...," "Grace Under Pressure Tour - 1984," and "A Show of Hands" all of which are being released in 2006 in both a special box set and individual package. "There is a lot of work that has gone on with the band over the last year," Lamoureux says in an exclusive with All Headline News. "We have the entire Rush catalog in our hands. Not just the studio material they have released on albums, but every single demo or song that has not been released as well. We are setting Rush up for the future for releases that will be able to have 5.1 audio mixes along with SACD formats down the road." The news is obviously going to make every Rush fan shine from Bangkok to Lakeside Park in Canada, but Lamoureux insists it only gets better from here. "For obvious reasons I can't get into every detail about the band's business and future but I can assure you the concerts that we are re-releasing are not straight VHS to DVD transfers. These are color touched, remastered, and re-mixed in 5.1 stereo and we are deciding which extras we will add to each in the coming days. We are basically done with everything except the extras and that decision lies with the band. Lamoureux reveals that the "Grace Under Pressure" DVD in particular might hold special surprises for fans down the road; some suprises, never thought to be possible. "We found the footage for 'Grace'," Lamoureux says. "The concerts will be released in the same format as the original releases including track listing and running time of the actual concert. But down the road when Blue-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." Lamoureux adds that the frustration of the job has been finding the footage to begin with. As a matter of fact, he is asking for any information leading to people who worked on the crews of the filming of "Exit Stage Left..." and "A Show of Hands" to please come forward and contact them. "We know someone has the film from those shows... we just need to get them at this point. It could be someone who worked with a former producer, a film crew member... anyone at this point. We didn't expect to find the 'Grace Under Pressure stuff... and we did.'" Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson and engineer Rick Chycki did the engineering for the 2-audio CDs for the deluxe package of "R:30" and Lamoureux's brother Francois did the audio chores for the recording of the concert itself. "The band decided they wanted to do this half-way through the tour so it was a matter of getting things going quickly and trying to find venues," Lamoureux adds. "I approached the band's management SRO about filming Rush on their anniversary tour and they turned me down being so close to their "Rush In Rio" project. As the tour went on they decided it would be a great idea but it was too late to film Radio City Music Hall and Red Rocks although we talked about it, we just couldn't get crews into the cities at the right time." Lamoureux admits that the DVD was almost filmed in Montreal but the band opted for Germany instead. "It was a great crowd in Frankfurt and the DVD will display that. It was originally going to be even shorter (R:30 is not a complete concert) but the band decided they wanted to add even more material from the concert because it all came out so well, thankfully we didn't have a glitch the entire night... so that material will probably be used somewhere down the road." Stating the fact that a Rush show is not an easy task (clocking in at over 3 hours and 15 minutes) Lamoureux says,"I have never worked so hard in my life, it was like working two concerts in one night..a double shift, but watching the guys in Rush perform is just an amazing experience." So...they're going to give us an inferior product now & the good stuff later, so we can buy it again?!?!?!?!? No thanks! I would've bought the set if the audio CD at least had the FULL GUP show on it! Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112-Rob-2112 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I dont even understand why they even take off songs from the shows..why dont they jsut leave every song on it and just be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holdyourfireal Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 Now I'm not saying to be a jerk, but a letter to Anthem telling them you'd be interested, probably wouldn't hurt. Should we start a letter writing campaign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Rygar Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 That's a whole lotta songs to be cutting for sure. Some of those songs were the main ones I was looking forward to, especially the GUP stuff!!! Why in the world would they cut stuff like that anyway? Oh, well yeah they did do that to R30 DVD but didn't Geddy say he regretted that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Seeker Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I certainly wouldn't blame Rush for not delivering something they never said they would deliver. Anything from an interview NOT with a band member is heresay. In this case it is also 'Heresy.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ffej Sector A Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I'm just glad these shows are finally getting released on DVD. My ESL video is pretty good... it's a dubbed copy from a laser disc. My store-bought copy of ASoH is f'd beyond repair. And my copy of p/g is actually recorded from MTV! I don't mind that they will not be complete shows. We should all be used to it by now. The only live concert Rush has ever released in its entirity has been RIR. Everything else is abridged. I'm sure the picture and sound quality will be flawless. I just can't wait to see Alex in those parachute pants with the Duran Duran haircut and Geddy with the mullet playing the Steinberger in such stunning digital clarity!!!

kazzman Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 And it's fanboys bitching and complaining like this that turns me away from this part of the board. This thread can be summed up like this: WHHAAAAA!!!! Rush is releasing a new dvd, but it's the same as the old vhs tapes. NOOOOOO!!!! Honestly, who cares? Every time Rush releases something new, all I see anymore is bitch, moan, bitch, moan. Be happy that we're at least seeing a re-issue of these shows onto dvd format because at least now many of the newer fans who weren't following the band back in the 1980's have a chance to get these videos since the vhs's are now discontinued.
