Rush - Live Kitchener Ontario March 23, 1977 8mm Film (HD)

[@progfrogian9226]

Wow, The Twilight Zone and played on a double neck (Something FOr Nothing too). I thought I knew everything about this band 🤯. THE NECROMANCER FOR FS 🤯🤯🤯, Alex small guitar and Geddy's teardrop shape bass. THIS IS THE HOLY RUSH GRAIL.

[@WillsRushpage]

This is unreal!

[@Starman2112ofKings]

Man so cool hard to believe it took so many years for people to figure out how AWESOMELY talented and killer these guys were. I myself was into KISS, Aerosmith, Nugent, and other rock bands around 75-77. Then my cousin had a Jean jacket with what I now know as the 2112 font cover put on the back. I asked him what’s RUSH 2 1 1 2 mean with a star? He said “you and your damn Kiss junk here listen to this band”. We sat over the next few hours listening to 2112, and A Farewell To Kings. I NEVER before or since have heard ANYTHING that I have been so obsessed with in music. Fan forever…… I didn’t get to see them til the Hemispheres tour but when I did there was NOTHING like it. Like it all but LOVE the 70’s RUSH!!!!! R.I.P. Neil Peart nobody ever did it better

[@secretjourney4815]

amazing, I did notknow Geddy or Alex payed the double necks as much as they did! WOW

[@alexkettles9374]

Thanks for posting this ancient miracle, for us lifelong fans this is fantastic 👏

[@78zappaf]

I like that idea, to pause the image with fade so we can see all the frames from the reel and to hear the audio in a less chopped up way. This is quite amazing to finally see thee footage from many concerts! Thank you G Music and the folks at The Genesis Museum!

[@GenesisMuseum]

We spent a long time looking for a way to reduce the choppiness, even just a little. This is what we thought worked best.

[@frk75]

Yep, great idea, you have to be creative to make patchy 8mm sequence watcheable, great work

[@RockinExperience]

When I did events with this drumset ("Chromey"), I wish we had footage like this to show what it was like to see that kit in an official live performance-in color! There is very very little live footage of this available. To be part of the crew from its restoration to bring it to the fans to see (and play!) is still one of the greatest projects have been part of. Thanks for posting this! 👍 My friend Dean was the guy who bought it and financed its restoration. It was an emence project that involved a lot of people. A lot of gratitude to those experts who painstakingly provided all the details to restore it to its last played condition. The showing events helped raise lots of funds for various charities. "Chromey" made a positive difference and made many dreams come true. Thanks again for this contribution to the early history of Rush. This is incredible to see. Well done!

[@RushArchives]

Absolutely fantastic to see this finished. That sync was clearly a nightmare to work on with all the short clips, but you handled the transitions really well. We really appreciate all the hard work! So much to unpack in this that everyone should make note of. 1) It's the first time we see (clearly) that projection during Temples of Syrinx, a Star Trek fan would recognize that alien from the season 1 episode "The Corbomite Maneuver". Some old documents state they used images from Star Trek, well this is it! 2) It's extremely cool to finally see some footage of The Twilight Zone, a song they only played for approximately 5 months. Note how Alex uses his doubleneck on the song, I didn't know. 3) Geddy playing sitting down during the quiet part of By-Tor, something you don't see with Rush (Steve Hackett). We knew Ged brings out his doubleneck here in preparation for The Necromancer, based on some commentary in the Dec 31 audience audio bootlegs, but of course it's really cool to see. 4) Also, EXTREMELY cool to finally see footage of The Necromancer. We also knew Geddy uses his doubleneck to play rhythm guitar on Return of the Prince on the ATWAS tour, but again, it's really cool to see. Before they introduced an early version of Xanadu around April 24, this was the song Geddy first used his doubleneck for starting in late 1976 5) Neil using mallets on In The End, that's new and interesting to see. 6) The mini guitar Alex comes out with at the conclusion to Neil's drum solo is possibly unique to this show, or at least done very few times. I'd spent days trying to figure it out, but I'm not certain what it is. An acquaintance of mine feels certain it is something called a "Mando guitar", so that could be what it is. 7) Last note of interest, GM synced with the April 17 Washington, DC audio bootleg (and others as well) since there is no known audio tape of this particular concert, and not really any others of nearby dates for that matter. If you have audio tapes of early Rush that you'd like to share, and even footage, please get in contact with someone! These are important pieces of Rush history that would help further preserve a largely undocumented era for the band. I may be forgetting something else to note, though clearly there's a ton of cool stuff to see here.

[@GenesisMuseum]

FWIW, the alien head can also be seen on the footage we worked on a couple of years back, but the view is from the side so it's hard to realize what it was: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqisnImCoL5gjaM

[@RushArchives]

@@GenesisMuseum I never noticed that detail! I thought it was just some sort of lighting. Thanks for pointing that out. In retrospect it's way easier to realize what you're looking at, having now seen it more clearly in the Kitchener film.

[@alicethroughthelookingglass]

@@RushArchives I am convinced Alex is playing a unique mando-guitar with the high probability it was made by VOX. I wonder if Alex remembers the story behind using it at this show. This is so great! Nice work @GenesisMuseum aka G Music.

[@RushArchives]

@@alicethroughthelookingglass Yes and I should credit you as the source of that info, thanks for your research too. No one else has been able to come up with anything on it, so I have a feeling you may likely be right.

[@alicethroughthelookingglass]

@@RushArchives That little guitar, I had to find out! Maybe some day we can hear from Alex the story behind that at this show.

[@pauladriano8300]

This is one of the best Videos I've ever seen. A shame it's not longer and all together. God bless you whoever found this...

[@warptek]

This era in RUSH history is magical and legendary. To capture this concert must have been a labor of love and thank you for doing it. Some things I never knew (and I thought I knew everything about Rush), the alien from the Star Trek episode The Corbomite Maneuver appeared as the priest as a backdrop during Presentation. The prodigious use of double necks. I thought they started using them on the Farewell to King's tour but apparently Alex uses it for Something for Nothing and The Necromancer.

[@flowersbyphone2554]

thank you and everyone else for these! - these clips (no matter how short) are invaluable to me, as i am a more recent rush fan and LOVE having this kind of footage available to watch

[@bluefunkt]

This is so wonderful; Something for Nothing doubleneck! Teardrop bass In the Mood! Neil's solo on chromy! They had so much energy. Thank you for this!

[@rickshearer]

Thanks for the awesome rare glimpse! ...as you "can see", the Slingerland Drum set days of Neil Peart where the best views of The Professor at work!

[@almoreau5391]

Unbelievable! Diamond made here. So many little gems inside. Thanks to original owner for bringing it forward and to the people that put it all together! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[@78zappaf]

well, after viewing the whole video, you really had great patience piecing it all with the proper audio. Good Lord I can't imagine how much work was put into this! Excellent job! Many thanks for sharing!

[@GenesisMuseum]

Patience...Insanity...whatever works 🤷

[@randyodierno1743]

Further proof that Alex Lifeson is a god among guitarists. That ripping solo in By-Tor, thats my favorite Lifeson moment of all their stuff.

[@Michael-rm8xl]

Thank you from a 45 year Rush fan🙏🙏🙏 This would’ve taken great patience and skill to piece together! I appreciate the effort! Thank you again

[@mermiatwd]

Alex would play his red EDS-1275 so much in those days even on songs that didn't require the 12 string because it played so well. Unfortunately it got damaged and was never the same after. He would pretty much only use his newer white EDS-1275 got songs that required the 12 string & 6 string.

[@hamhead2765]

Omg thank you for this. A lot of rare stuff going on here. Wow. Just before Kings came out which would rearrange their set list obviously

[@jameslighterGTR]

Alex is amazing here! His commitment to excellence, yet never taking himself too seriously, is admirable. The other two guys are alright too... LOL Thank you for posting, felt some cardiac thing happen when I heard The Necromancer. Incredible.

[@LSUOdyssey]

NECROMANCER even in pieces. Oh my god.

[@dexterdog62]

They sound pretty good, I think they’ll make it big some day.

[@mdu2112]

They did! 😅

[@freegee3503]

I don't know. They seem to need work on their musicianmanship.

[@dexterdog62]

@@freegee3503 yeah especially that guy on guitar, he’ll need some more practice before he’s any good.

[@larrylanberg3552]

I don't know man, they sound too much like the Moody Blues for my tastes.

[@LSUOdyssey]

one of the last months before Alex started using chorus instead of that beautiful sounding Maestro phaser

[@gungaddin]

Well done for doing this. This is the Rush that i first saw as a young lad many, many years ago. Plus, as the view count for this as i watch is 2111, that must make me 2112! Happy Days!! 😁

[@zachsmith3]

Neil sure was energetic then! Quite an interesting setlist 8:06 SHREDDING thanks

[@michaelbriefs9764]

This video, the unedited version, needs to be released by the band!! WOW! What epic video of Rush, pre AFTK!! You would think the band knew about this video and would want some of it used in "Beyond the Lighted Stage"! So cool!

[@Islander2112]

Oh. My. Cookie. AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@frk75]

Wow,the double necks already in use at the end of the 2112 tour before the release of FTK and xanadu, how cool is that

[@Thompsongs]

Credit to you for calling it by its proper name, and not calling it "the All the World's a Stage tour". That drives me mental.

[@halcyon289]

And the bass pedals.

[@Grommet_]

@@Thompsongs the All the World a Stage tour and 2112 are two different tours hence the different setlist. Its very confusing considering the tour on the album all the world's a stage is the 2112 tour.

[@Latexhandske]

Brilliant work 💗

[@jdconte]

Great stuff! This was a magical era. A lot of firsts here. Seeing the Doublenecks for both Geddy and Alex prior to AFTK, Geddy doing rhythm guitar behind Alex’s solo in Necromancer, 12 string on Something for Nothing, and what was that little guitar Alex had after Neil’s solo?? 😂

My God!!! Never thought I’d see some of these gems being played live!! Even if in 1-2 second clips I’ll take it! Thank you so much for this. 👏👏👏Also my mind is completely blown to see Alex using the double-neck for what seems like half the show and Geddy playing his on The Necromancer. I didn’t think those instruments debuted til AFTK but they must have been used in recording not only 2112 but even Caress of Steel. Amazing stuff here. Was the entire show filmed? Will we see more??? 🙏

[@kirkkelley1899]

[@patricksommer3971]

great work, thanks! Interesting idea with the fades on the last frame as a still image, not sure if I like it yet, but interesting for sure

[@GenesisMuseum]

we wouldn't normally worry about this, but for such short clips, we had to do something

Man, WHY is this era so unavailable!?!? and elusive... tons of audio but NO good '77-'78 video that I've seen... need some Farewell and Hemispheres footage!!!....

[@GardettoJones]

Excellent work! I can't even imagine the difficulty on that sync. Is that the reflection of a broken string during the solo of Soliloquy I see?

[@GenesisMuseum]

it is indeed

[@vincentvarvel7097]

Looks like Alex broke a string during 2112.....

[@rafaa151]

"Twilight Zone". Great song!

[@hamhead2765]

I believe there was some harmonies during In the End. Harmonies are not on the album

[@rickduva]

You can see in some of those shots was the album cover of ATWAS.

[@malcolmlowry5778]

Great for what you have here. Is there any more audio of the Necromancer available? Would love to hear it even without video as that is quite rare. Does it exist from this show?

[@geftiler2112]

too hard to follow... 2 seconds here 3 seconds there.... does the editor have ADD?

[@GenesisMuseum]

He had a 2 hour show, a malfunctioning camera, and 6 minutes of film. Unfortunately, the alternative is 0 seconds here and there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@julianemery7729]

This is SOOOOOOO frustrating! You get the carpet pulled from underneath you every 5 seconds, who compiled this? Why would you do this? It's like having sex whilst someone throws cold buckets of water over you every minute.

[@GenesisMuseum]

Unfortunately, the only alternative is abstinence 🤷‍♂️

[@larrylanberg3552]

Yeah man what's up with the 2 second shots? Bad camera work.
