RUSH Is A Band Blog reports that the Rush documentary Backstage Secrets is now available for purchase.
Backstage Secrets is a 5-part documentary from WhistleStop Productions which aired on HD TV in Canada last year. The documentary follows various members of the Rush road crew during a typical day out on the road with the band.
It was shot in High Definition and Dolby 5.1 surround audio during the Canadian leg of the 2007 Snakes and Arrows tour. The 1st part of the documentary has been floating around YouTube for some time now and can be seen at this link and others.
Since it first aired there has been much speculation as to when and where it might be available for purchase. It turns out that it's actually been available to purchase on DVD for some time now although this information seems to have fallen underneath everybody's radar.
The copyright for the series is owned by High Fidelity HDTV Media Inc. who is partnered with several online DVD distributors including Amazon. You can purchase the documentary as a home-use 2-disc set for $24.95. It's also available to purchase for non-profit and institutional use.
