zepptrap Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 How do we get Rush to release some live archive material? They should start with the two shows that are represented on the deluxe 2112 remaster. I can't believe how amazing those songs sound and not many of us on this board talk about them! The moving pictures tour overture/temples sounds better than exit stage left. I listened to them and it just leaves me wanting more...you know they have the whole show! Sorry for the rant...what does everybody think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorshooter Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I read in an interview somewhere that Geddy said that alot of the band's older material on tape did not sound that great and there was not much that he found that was worth putting out to the fan base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bscsmkr Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I think Mercury (or whoever owns or bought out Mercury) has more in their vaults than the band does in theirsI think that is why we got the inclusion of Overture and Temples on the deluxe 2112I don't think Rush would have ever released that.I think since Mercury? owns classic Rush, they have quite a bit of stuffAnd don't forget the spirit of radio from Europe 1980 that was released on a video gameThe tapes(2 tours) for ESL exist in the archives at whatever is now MercuryJust my thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucsteve667 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 judging by what I remember from a couple interviews, it seems tome that Geddy has a vast library of recordings and video stuff. He has talked about making his brother go thru stuff, and it was Ged that pulled the 3rd disc of different stages out of his "vault" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepptrap Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 That's exactly what I was thinking! With all this time off they can work on some live stuff to release. We are all not getting any younger! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's safe to say that he probably has quite a few other treasures that would leave me drooling for more, more, more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerofthor Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 That is the bands retirement fund. Why would they release everything now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 That is the bands retirement fund. Why would they release everything now? So they could receive the money for it while the band is still very popular, and then invest that money so it grows as they enter retirement? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Rush, in my opinion, has a very good track record of giving fans what they want. This seems to be one of the few areas that I wish we had "more". I would be happy with a single or double live cd of live tracks that have never been made available in the CD/DVD format. If you think about it, there really hasn't been THAT much. Some live songs that come to mind that have never had live versions released:CountdownWar PaintCold FireDouble AgentScars Probably only a handful more than that....

greyfriar Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm still wondering what happened to the 1997 Toronto shows. They filmed both nights and I've never heard a word about a release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucsteve667 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I remember Ged saying something along the lines of this when the different stages disc 3 came out, that some of things that bothered him about his voice that show dont seem to bother him so much anymore. Maybe that will happen with other stuff. But as a guy who records live video shows, sometimes shit didnt come out right and you have to just bury it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarizeMe Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm still wondering what happened to the 1997 Toronto shows. They filmed both nights and I've never heard a word about a release.Nope, they filmed only the first night as far as I recalled in an interview. Here's some more info courtesy of the guys at 2112.net "The first Toronto show of the Test for Echo tour was filmed with intentions of releasing it as a live DVD; those plans were shelved as problems with the sound recording would have cost Rush $150,000 just to sync up another recording with the video, not to mention the enourmous time involved: "...we have other things in the vault as well, such as a concert that we recorded on theTest For Echo tour, with which we weren't satisfied at the time, but that's been replaced by its historical value." - Geddy Lee, Aardschok Magazine, March 2006" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
