thebigguyconnor Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I found this sort of live-in-studio clip of rush doing circumstances, and it doesn't appear to be mimed, and the audio is definitely no the original audio. It looks to be from 1977. Can anybody identify or explain this video? Is there more footage from this concert? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49q59A8OhM8 Thanks!

Ted Barchetta Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I believe it was a promo vid for Hemispheres. Shot at a soundcheck or something. They have vids for The Trees and La Villa as well. That version of La Villa is killer; It's kinda like the ESL version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 It's on the R30 DVD, in the Vault section, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torgo Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 This was a promo video that was shot around the time of the "Hemispheres" release. They also did one for "The Trees" and one for "La Villa Strangiato". What's unusual is that they didn't mime or lip-sync and they actually played live. Great stuff.

Snow-Dog2112 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 this was on the hemispheres tour when they played the whole album, they recorded the trees and la villa strangiato and im guessing they did hemispheres also but the hemispheres vid hasnt been released yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 QUOTE (Your_Lion @ Oct 5 2010, 11:06 AM)It's on the R30 DVD, in the Vault section, isn't it? Yes, it is. I was quite pleased to see another live version of this and La Villa. And what fantastic versions they are!! Though the "artistic" bit of blurring the edges of the film got kind of old quickly...

Great sound too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer_sky Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Great video! I have always thought that Geddy and Rickenbacker simply seem to be made for each other... like a match made in rock god heaven. Why did Geddy go with Fender Jazz bass, anyhow?

WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I saw a similar promo with them performing The Trees around 1978 on TV in San Diego. It was on a late night rock show on a premium cable station called Channel 100. I had just got a VCR and recorded it. I've have since seen it on YouTube. When I saw it in '78, on TV , I was blown away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3strukt Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Me thinks they shot the entire soundcheck (that's what it was.) Rather than "stop and go". It's just so much easier to do it that way. However, i'm sure once they got what they wanted, it was all erased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigguyconnor Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Well, I'm glad that this footage survived!! It's awesome! I got another question: did they film all of Rush's Pinkpop performance in 1979? There is so much potential for an awesome archives DVD release or something!
