New Rush documentary
Posted at 8:30AM | comments (19)

UPDATE - 9/25@2:21PM: In addition to being at RushCon, Sam Dunn was at both Toronto shows.

UPDATE - 9/22@2:40PM: Andrew MacNaugtan was not at RushCon Friday evening ... but Sam Dunn was - with his film crew too. If you don't know who Sam Dunn is, he's a Toronto native who is the creative force behind the heavy metal documentary Metal: A Headbanger's Journey for which he interviewed Geddy Lee. I spoke with Sam and he's just begun filming a documentary on Rush with the blessing of the band. He was at RushCon to get some footage of Rush fans in action. If his Rush documentary is half as good as Metal than we are in for a treat once he's finished. I'm still unclear as to whether Andrew MacNaughtan will be doing any filming at RushCon or just at Rush EuCon.

The word from organizers of both RushCon (see this thread at Counterparts) and Rush EUCon (see this thread at TNMS) is that Rush friend and photographer Andrew MacNaughtan will be on hand at both conventions filming for a new documentary he's putting together. No details as of yet. All the more reason to attend these events. Developing...

Ah...a new documentary would be a perfect companion DVD to the forthcoming Snakes & Arrows tour release...I'm thinking triple-DVD set. :-)

pretty cool man!

Since Andrew did a documentary for the recording of S & A. Why not a doc on the touring of the album to follow-up? Maybe the video snippets we see of the different roadies will be part of this documentary.

I think a documentary style production is in our future. I recall seeing several cameras filming us as we exited the Hollywood Bowl show, and cameras were around the merch areas beforehand. Let's hope! As we all know, these have been very well done and first class in every way.

yes yes yes

maybe it'll air on VH1 Classic, too

and maybe that 3 disc dvd set which doesnt even exist yet will have some extras from the MVI doc... it didnt cover all the songs :(

soeaking... im still waiting for Squire to sign my fish out of water and send it to me here in college =\

Finally, something informative! WOO,WOO!

#4 & #5: Don't forget Geddy's brief films of the audiences at each show. Sounds like there'd be plenty of material for an expanded tour DVD.

Well!This is great news. Terry Brown AND Andrew McNaughton at EUCon.

So glad I've got my tickets :))

EUCon and a RUSH gig on the same day. Oh happy me.

WARNING TOOTING MY OWN HORN*****


I called this, I posted information after the Raleigh show.
My Co Hort that attended the show with me knew a Backstage
VIP who was life long friends with 1 of the crew. He told
us he heard a little birdy say they were basically filming
bits and pieces of the whole tour for a documentary.
#11 - Posted 9/20/07 @1:33PM by kevin [contact]

Rumors
My Co Hort at the show new someone in the VIP section that has a close friend in the crew
and he said there filming various parts of tour for a rush

big stuck out tongue to all the poo pooed me and that post.

Kevin.... I dont remember your post. But, good job calling it. Just dont be spitting while sticking yer tongue out. Lol!

How f--ing sweet for us Rushheads... We were lucky to have the MVI that took us through the making of the album. And maybe we'll find a documentary that would take us through the tour portion of 'S&A'.

Or could it be a doc. as a way of saying 'Thanks' to the fans?

Hmm, sure has the wheels in my head spinning!
#13 - Posted 9/20/07 @3:23PM by plunge [contact]

Wouldn't it be cool if the next tourbook is multimedia with Andrew's film clips?
#14 - Posted 9/20/07 @3:43PM by SF in Prague [contact]

if they published footage of the guys taking a dump, we Rushians would buy it up like hotcakes! we are terrible.

I second that motion, pinkfloyd2000. "Triple-DVD set" just screama "hot seller" to me. The reason being that I would love to see what I'm missins in Toronto.

"Take it easy on me now, I'd be there if I could.."

I live up north, but not that far up north. Maybe in a few years...

my sentiments exactly SF! If Geddy farted into a bottle I would buy it. and the mvi ...

Hya Max, glad to see a comment from you; though I don't know if I hold with all this larger intestinal discussion :)

Are you going to EUcon? Are you going to MEN? Shall we shake hands in the physical rather than the metaphorical?

#18 - Posted 9/20/07 @8:08PM by Liverpool.78

SF!! - I was just looking back through the threads from many moons ago and you typed that you would check out the dates of the EUcon because you thought you might like to go.

It ain't as far to Manchester as it is to SF (!). Will I see you there? A one off chance to be in the same room as Terry Brown AND record a smile and a wave in Andrew Mcnaughton's film? I'm sure there are still tickets left for Manchester, given that "ticketsheister" are such a bunch of B"£$tards, along with the rest of the vultures :))
