JohnRogers Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 So some nonsense here at TRF got me exploring Half the World. A result for the music video came up. I watched it realizing I have never seen it before. My mouth was agape...more on that later. I began to wonder are there other RUSH videos I haven't seen??? Are they all located at one convenient source? I'm asking aboot official videos from the band, not crap one of you tools shot on your iPhone and edited with an app. So back to Half the World the video. I found it funny that Neil was alone on the other side of the fence...fitting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil1972 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Many older era, 70s vids can be found on the R30 dvd bonus disc. Chronicles dvd hits a couple of 70s hits, but is mostly 80s songs. The 90s vids are a bonus disc in the Retrospective III compilation. Then there is "Anthem" which is an easter egg on Rush in Rio. And some John Rutsey era videos are on the Beyond the Lighted Stage dvd. "Vital Signs" is found on the bonus disc of the MP remastered edition. I think all their vids have been issued on dvd with the exception of "Countdown". Edited April 4, 2016 by Wil1972 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil1972 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Are they all located at one convenient source? As you can see from my earlier post, no they are not. I wish they were though. One single collection with "Countdown" and maybe some live stuff would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is way too funny. I was just thinking about this very same thing on the way home from work today. I'd love to have a chronological video compilation (which will never happen because you're dealing with two record companies.) Even the Retrospective DVD is out of chronological order. I was thinking it would be really cool to do a video marathon. I suppose I could take matters into my own hands and just burn them all to a DVD but that would take more time than I'd want to devote to this project since the videos are scattershot out of order over at least 4 DVDs. Then the question becomes would you include the live videos that are just direct transfers from the concert DVDs. I don't think I would. The only ones that never made it to DVD are Countdown (Through The Camera Eye VHS), the album version of The Big Money (from the Grace Under Pressure VHS and Closer To The Heart Live 1997 (compilation live video never released commercially.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some nights when we want to sit around and drink and have no plans my wife and I have actually sat down with all the various DVDs of their videos and attempted a chronological viewing of their videos. It's rather labor intensive concerning their 70s stuff since its spread out over so many collections. When you get to the 80s it gets much simpler. One question that did arise in our little geeky viewing party: Why no videos for the songs from PW?? Seems to be a real hole in their videography.

Wil1972 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 It was after Time Stand Still that I decided to never delve into the world of Rush videos again. Actually they got better: Driven and Half the World are good videos. And Far Cry is cool too. But their 80s stuff was ... well, very 80s! The Distant Early Warning video always bugs me. How do you plaster the phrase "red alert" across the screen in green font?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

third hand grace Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Is there a list compiled that anyone knows of that shows every video they ever made?I have been on the bus since 81, and I THINK I have seen them all... but I wonder after seeing this post.

jnoble Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I also wondered why only one video from RTB especially considering MTV videos were still a thing and that album charted very well. Dreamline or Ghost shouldve been done too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But damned if I didnt see Kajagoogoo about once an hour! Damn that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
