In The Mood
Notes:
- This footage was shot by "Mongo and The Bulge". Audio sync by The Genesis Museum.
- One of the most interesting aspects of this film is that it captures one of the best shots of the Hold Your Fire balloons being dropped during In The Mood. In the same vein, during a shot of the venue before the start of the show, there can be seen red spheres hanging from the ceiling, which have been suggested to be the capsules which contained the balloons, though I'm not quite able to confirm this.
- This is a rare, unusual era to find from which to find recordings on 8mm film, as the format was phased out during the early 80s in favor of the rising popularity of affordable camcorders.
- As with any 8mm audience footage, full songs and concerts were not able to be captured due to the short length of the film reels.
- Also as is the case with many 8mm reels, the film used did did not concurrently record audio, so the resulting footage was silent. However, in our present day era, it is fairly easy to sync these old silent 8mm film clips with audio bootlegs. Since there is no known audience audio recording of this date, audio of the 2 April 1988 concert in Omaha were used to sync and bring more life to this very rare footage of Rush.
