Rush - Live Kitchener Ontario December 28, 1977 8mm Film (HD)

Here is a little 8mm filmed by a prolific Canadian 8mm concert filmer named Daniel Graham. It has very short clips (some as short as just a few frames) so this is not going to rise to the level of the Rush film we finished last month: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J2xIb4RLU8

However, there are some nice moments here and there, to get a brief taste of this A Farewell to Kings tour. I was not able to handle the 8mm film scan myself, so there isn't quite as much detail as I can normally get, and some whites are blown out, but it's not a bad transfer - much nicer than average. I did some basic restoration and clean-up, frame interpolation, film grain, and added detail.

I also did the sound sync which, for clips as short as these, is a bit of a nightmare. With songs like 2112, By-Tor, and Cygnus in the setlist - with endless movements, keys, and time signatures, especially with no known audio recording from the same night - finding the match is quite a challenge. But with the help of Analog Kid Audio Video and Peter Koza, I was able to nail down most of them.

As usual, if anyone has Genesis, Peter Gabriel, or other 8mm films, let us know. We transfer, restore, and sync audio to them for free.

Disclaimer: Welcome to the world of audience shot Super8 concert footage. What you see in this video is everything that was filmed. We freely share this footage with you for the love of the music and to relive memories of past concerts. We would not go through the time, effort and expense of restoring vintage Super8 and 8mm films to share edited versions. In case you don't know, the 8mm and Super8 film that fans used to shoot classic concert footage only had around 3 minutes of recording time per reel. A single reel of Super8 film cost around $5 - $6 in the mid-1970s (equivalent to $28 - $33 in 2023 dollars). That does not include the cost of processing the film after the concert. And, it was not convenient to carry more than 4 or 5 reels with you. So due to cost and convenience, the average fan who shot concert footage usually took in merely a few reels of film. Also, most Super8 cameras did not have sound. People would randomly film short clips (sometimes very short) with no thought to cutting up the songs, because the film was silent and no one back then ever thought that 50 years later, technology would allow us to match audio recordings to the brief visual images. This film should not be confused with professionally shot footage. But in many cases, this may be the only film available of classic artists performing live in their heyday. Enjoy this precious footage like drops of water on a desert island. Although it's far from perfect, it's far better than nothing at all.
