Rush - 8mm - 4K video - June 18, 1976 Oshawa Ontario Canada 2112 tour

[@GenesisMuseum]

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!

[@OutOnTheTiles]

You do a great job. Thanks ✌️

[@RichardFriendartist]

thank you G Music also. the audio was amazing!

[@AlbionReturns]

Outstanding work

[@sirgilmour]

What would be the other 8mm of this interesting top 2?

[@GenesisMuseum]

An amazing 1977 Styx film we worked on a couple of years ago. Denis DeYoung contacted us to get a copy for his collection!

[@wallofrock6725]

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.

[@speedysfilms]

​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

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.

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.👊

[@edstangret838]

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.

Alex being his goofy self is priceless!

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.

Wow, just wow. Just watching this was such a blast. I always wanted to see footage from the 2112 tour. I don't know if the audio is from the concert scenes we're watching but I do know it's from the Massey Hall live recording on All The Worlds a Stage. In my personal opinion Alex Lifeson's guitar sound on this recording is un matched by any other period. I know he loves his semi hollow body guitars but that tobacco burst Les Paul with those Pyramid humbucker pickups produces just a sound of beauty. Like butter. I appreciate this video immensely. Thank you.

Reading the comments the audio is from All The Worlds A Stage as they did an incredible job of synching up the audio though sometimes when they do 8mm transfers they will get lucky and synch the audio from an actual audio bootleg from the exact concert but they still did an amazing job.
