We have personally transferred over 500 reels of 8mm...this is in the top two highest quality films we have worked on, and surely one of the highest quality 8mm concert films ever recorded!
I'm happy i saw Rush 4 times before the teagic death of Neil Peart. I'm a huge Rush fan & though Peart is gone i'd like to see Lee & Lifeson come out with new music. Rush to me is The Best Canadian band of all time!!
I think they are one of the best bands ever, no matter where on the planet they hail from. My kids are Canadian, so yeah, canada rules for great musicians in my eyes.
OMG. This is the RUSH that I fell in love with. The album was All the Worlds a Stage. It had just come out and I was blown away. RUSH in color really makes this a treat. Oh to have a full length concert of this. Thanks for this.
For a 61 year old longtime RUSH fan such as myself (along with all the other oldtimers), this is an absolutely mind-blowing holy grail of some footage! I freaked seeing this, with absolute joy! I only wish there was more. Cheers and MUCH THANKS!!! 😊
I remember, when I was just a lad, not even a teenager maybe, seeing a hotel bar sign advertising Rush, Max Webster, David Wilcox and more. I managed to sneak in as an adult later and saw good bands in the bars in the early 80s. Man those days were great. I'd swap them for now anytime. Going into record stores and finding Ac/DC, Judas Priest or Led Zeppelin etc came out with new albums. Iron Maiden was a new band nobody knew. What a great time to be an adolescent.
Been a RUSH Disciple since April of 1975 and having seen RUSH 53 times Live and in Living color, this video is absolutely a Family Reunion and there are a TON of Fans in here who no doubt agree! RUSH Is Literally Tattooed On Our Souls....I'm grateful to have had the pleasure of sharing the air in many venues with the Best Damn Band and Cult Of Fans Ever! Salute To All
Thank you again everyone involved. These videos take an unbelievable amount of work and we would NEVER be able to do this with out your help and dedication to music and the artist. Thank you so much
This is the RUSH that the world fell in love with. THANK YOU for making it possible for us to trip back in time to see this epic hay day performance. Rush Rules!
Saw a guy coming out of the library in high school with All the World a Stage under his arm. I spotted the drum kit on the cover. I stopped him and asked what album is that? he tells me this is a Live Rush album. I borrowed it from him barely knew the guy, missed 2 classes listening to it with headphones on a turntable in the library. Bought it that weekend, saw them in concert in Ottawa for 2112. The rest is history. Lifelong fan.👊
The footage looks great. I appreciate it! But everyone should know the sound is not original from this Oshawa show. It is lifted from the All the World's a Stage album and overdubbed on the footage. Hence all the cuts. But I do give credit for whoever edited it....excellent job syncing it up. And it is also a testament to how tight and precise the band was....
Saw them on this tour in Cleveland. I was 14. Thank you, Mom and Dad for letting me go!!! Fun Fact: WMMS in Cleveland was the radio station that got RUSH on the map in the States.
All the Worlds a Stage was recorded on June 11, 12, and 13 at Massey Hall, Toronto. The film from Oshawa Ontario was about a week later, so the match up is excellent. Brings back a lot memories of early Rush since I was in university in Southern Ontario at the time. Volume on the Marantz stereo was cranked full.
Love how there are so many commenters in their 60s and maybe older. Awesome to think some day there will be guys who are in their 90s or older rocking out to Rush. 🤘
5:36 Those few seconds in By-Tor and the Snow Dog with Alex performing the Mother of all Pick Scrapes up close and personal, live on camera gives me closure. I've listened to All The World's a Stage for 47 years, and wondered how he did it. Now I've seen it, and it's glorious. (He even seemed to be pleased how awesome it sounded.)
If you've never been, then you should go ... the carnival still comes through in the spring and the carousel is still 5 cents, and, yes, the lighthouse, the willows, the pier, the sand, they're all still there ...
Thanks for posting. I'm reading Geddy Lee's autobiography and I'm currently right around this timeframe. This added a ton of dimension to the book - thank you!
This is unbelievable! Thanks so much for posting. This was the day before my 8th birthday, I would join the Rush party about 6 or 7 years later. Best band ever.
Some days..... Three guys, three instruments (four if you include Geddy's voice), no guitar changes every song, no pyrotechnics or laser lights, just rocking on.
I was 16 ,,,,,, this 8-track tape in our jeep j-2000...grew up listening to 2112,,,,...........,,, and then,,,,.....Farewell to kings,,,,.....the best....
My god, this is a thing of beauty; I can't believe how good it looks! Thanks so much for your awesome work. I hope Ged and Alex get a chance to watch this!!
The video is outstanding, I've looked for years and never found anything worthwhile from the 2112 tour, and there seems to be no video at all the the classic Neil solo from this era, so this is great. The audio here is from All The World's a Stage, wish it was from the actual performance here, but still incredible.
thank you again. I have never seen footage this great of Rush from this era. Again rest in peace Speedy and thanks to this incredible team for releasing these for fans who can truly appreciate this. we are all getting older and it's awesome to have these little glimpses of what was. so it's very appreciated. thank you. I am going to be watching this sooooooooooo many times!!!

Epic. Reading in the Wandering the Face of the Earth book about how many times early Rush video footage was lost or destroyed will always give me grief. Thanks for making this.

As if The Watchmaker Himself constructed it! How have I missed this for a year? I'm sure you used all the footage you had but man... leaves you wanting the whole show... Great Job! I'm subscribing.... Thanks! Some Lives Are Epic!
Well done! No way getting video and sound synchronized was easy. Culling out stuff that didn't work had to be a job. Well done. I experienced that era. This helps to share with young uns who otherwise could never know.
I saw Rush when they were just starting out, they were just a house band in Toronto at the Abbey Road Pub. It was in the early 70s you knew they had something special. 🇨🇦🎼🎸
This footage takes me back to 1977Saw them for the first time and only time @ Wings stadium, Kalamazoo, Michigan and it gives me chills watching this footage. Lifelong Rush fan! Forever!!!
I seen them at the Glasgow Apollo about 78/79 ,I was a very blinkered young Punk at the time but my god did this band open my eyes to what music was all about,Absolute fuckin legends ❤
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more. I like how you edited that out. Proven true for 50 years and people are still butt hurt over those lyrics.
I just caught the tail end of arena rock !! Someone tell me what happened to arena rock !! You used to be able to see great bands . In my humble population 35 000 town I saw Kim Mitchell, max Webster, goddo, a couple 3 band bills, rush, iron maiden, krokus, accept and kick axe Not to mention the bars were really kickn in the 80s !!!!

You do a great job. Thanks ✌️
thank you G Music also. the audio was amazing!
Outstanding work
What would be the other 8mm of this interesting top 2?
An amazing 1977 Styx film we worked on a couple of years ago. Denis DeYoung contacted us to get a copy for his collection!
If anyone ever doubts that Rush was considered to be heavy metal in the 70s, this video should lay those doubts to rest for good.
Absolutely and I argue this fact with Rush fans and metal heads alike

They were good with their original drummer rutsey. Have a look at very early Rush music on TH-cam. 1973
OMG. This is the RUSH that I fell in love with. The album was All the Worlds a Stage. It had just come out and I was blown away. RUSH in color really makes this a treat. Oh to have a full length concert of this. Thanks for this.
I wish I could find the full concert also
Why couldn’t they have always sounded like this?
ATWAS was recorded from two shows at Massey Hall in Toronto. It's cool that their show in Oshawa on the same tour sounded the same.
The audio is from ATWAS
For a 61 year old longtime RUSH fan such as myself (along with all the other oldtimers), this is an absolutely mind-blowing holy grail of some footage! I freaked seeing this, with absolute joy! I only wish there was more. Cheers and MUCH THANKS!!! 😊
60 and I could not agree more.
WOW!!!!
Igual, tengo 61 y pienso exactamente lo mismo!
Another 61 year old here. Yes, I love 70's early 80's RUSH! This footage is a treasure for me too!

As a teen of the 70s and now 63 Rush has always been the band for me. Love this. Thanks for sharing...
Same here also Man, saw this tour in Milwaukee at the RIVERSIDE Theater. Max Webster toured with them.
Yeah man, 61 and they were the band for me.

Do you have Rush Hartford 2002?
@@felipeaoyama3274 We only have reels from the 70s in 8mm
Do you have one of Rush at Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin for Oct 31, 1975?
☮️
Do You have the Whole Show??? or Just This Teaser????
But if this medley can be made i must assume the entire concert(s) are on video? Young raw RUSH was the best.
I was lucky enough to see one of these shows. It was unbelievable. They opened up for a kiss and a blue kiss away.
Rush 74 to 77. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
And of course to 2015.
Alex being his goofy self is priceless!
Absolutely wonderful footage! What really stood out for me is how good Alex is as a guitarist. He is so underrated compared with other guitarists!
hes probably my favorite guitarist, as a drummer.. 80s lifeson sealed it for me
The 70’s showed Alex’s real dirty heavy roots, where he came from. He’s the heavy side of the band for sure.
See early RUSH live in this early performance is the next best thing to see 69-73 Zeppelin live!
I saw Led Zeppelin in 72 and these guys are just as good live.
This is the RUSH that the world fell in love with. THANK YOU for making it possible for us to trip back in time to see this epic hay day performance. Rush Rules!
Alex Lifeson, best Rock guitarist out there
I saw this tour at the Santa Monica Civic in Ca. I was 13yrs old. It was a shared bill RUSH/UFO Schenker era.
I was there too at 16 years old, first concert, scalped tix
Look how young my 3 knuckleheads were....thank you rush for writing the soundtrack to my life.
Oooooh ... Lakeside Park ... one of my absolute favourites.
Seems odd to think that it's a song that Geddy said personally he never really liked but he sang it so beautifully live and on the record
I was at this very show !!! 16 yrs old !!! In love with RUSH since !!!!
I'm dying to know what building this was in, is it still around?

4:50 Damn, Alex! Such a masterful, articulated take on that FBN solo.
We have so little Rush footage from the 70s, and this already looks incredible. Excited to see this!
Their early music with rutsey was awesome... working man prior
Alex absolutely rips.

Probably the best trio of all time
An absolute monster band at the peak of their powers. Thanks for this gem.
Three of the best musicians ever!!
The great Tommy Vance from the BBCS Radio 1 once called them the best 3 piece orchestra ever.
Absolute brilliance
Amazing! At 2:50 Neil loses a stick, but recovers quickly. lovely to see this show in such detail! Thank you.
I noticed that too. Had to scan the comments to see if anyone else noticed it. haha. It looks like he deliberately tossed it! 😆
He tossed it and got a fresh stick 😀 🥁
Saw them on this tour in Cleveland. I was 14.
Thank you, Mom and Dad for letting me go!!!
Fun Fact: WMMS in Cleveland was the radio station that got RUSH on the map in the States.
I'm 65 years old. I didn't think I'd ever see a video of By-tor from this album. THANK YOU
Rush has spoiled us with so many professional shoots over their career, to see something like this from so early on is truly a treat!
Saw Rush 18 times. Once from the 11th row.
Alex. The guitar genius. Even Eddie VH thought so.
Eddie said that to rolling stone when he was declared the best. Eddie said u better check with Alex lifeson on That !!

70's Rush, at their most magical and majestic best.....
Unbelievably musically, sonically mesmerizing band.RUSH!
Matching these video clips to the audio from All The World's a Stage was probably a nightmare to do! But well done!!!
Thanks for posting. I'm reading Geddy Lee's autobiography and I'm currently right around this timeframe. This added a ton of dimension to the book - thank you!
My oh my. The power, skill, precision, and melodic beauty is beyond my comprehension. I will never understand how anyone can be this skilled.
Hard rock at it's very finest! Saw them live in 2002 and 2010, Alex is my greatest influence on playing guitar! Love em all! MONSTERS OF ROCK!!
This is video GOLD-should be archived somewhere as something of historic value
Ty vole. Já vůbec v těch letech nevěděl, že jsou. Od 84 jsem je začal milovat a dnes je mám radši než manželku. Miluju Rush.
I wish there was more video of All The World A Stage
Some of the coolest Rush footage I have ever seen. Bravo!!!
The greatest band in the world Neil’s not gone he lives forever in my heart
This is unbelievable! Thanks so much for posting. This was the day before my 8th birthday, I would join the Rush party about 6 or 7 years later. Best band ever.
Some days.....
Three guys, three instruments (four if you include Geddy's voice), no guitar changes every song, no pyrotechnics or laser lights, just rocking on.
I only saw Rush 7 times, but every show was awesome and a great time.... 2 of those shows were with John Rutsey on drums....
Geddy's voice had a lot of power in the beginning
I was 16 ,,,,,, this 8-track tape in our jeep j-2000...grew up listening to 2112,,,,...........,,, and then,,,,.....Farewell to kings,,,,.....the best....
The Beginning of GREATNESS..RUSH..:)
The power of Ged’s voice, insane!!
No doubt about it, this is all the worlds a stage, best sound ever from a 3 mens band
Dear god, how did I miss this party? Thank you... just thank you!!
2:03 camera-operator: “swipe left, swipe left!”
Lmao 😂😂he had to say no homo after that one
My god, this is a thing of beauty; I can't believe how good it looks! Thanks so much for your awesome work. I hope Ged and Alex get a chance to watch this!!
They have mentioned in many interviews that it’s difficult to watch old videos and listen to their live recordings from that era.
Holy shit!! This was fantastic! Brings tears to an old man’s eyes!
@@mcraft2240Difficult to watch? Whatever….
This is the live video performance of All the Worlds a Stage live album. Need to see unedited. Incredible this would be.
This was the period I remember from my Rush gigs. Go Hammersmith Odeon!
