By far and when I say far!!!! The best band to ever to play music. There is so much precision and creativity in their music, that they are in a league of their own above all bands ever to play. They pushed their skills beyond what no others could quite accomplish.
I totally agree. I got to see them 3 times including opening night of the Counterparts tour in Pensacola, and the R30 tour in Atlanta. Neil was so special, he will always be my favorite drummer
@@porkbelly0713,I live in Pensacola, never have missed a show from here to New Orleans to Tampa. I miss them so much,already. Greatest musicians of all times!
My dad raised me on Rush. (I'm 27 now) but still listen to Rush nearly every day and I bring my 9 month old son on for the ride and I will pass down the legacy. I have a girl on the way as well and will teach her the same. We're keeping Rush alive. What a perfect band and example of creative music. RIP Neil ❤️
Awesome video. This was my 50th and final Rush concert. I sadly never made it to LA but was glad my live journey with them ended where it began. I saw my first show at MSG on 9/17/84, so it was appropriate I come full circle. I was even with the same friend!
I was already a fan in the late seventies but when I saw them in 1981 in Montreal, I became a superfan. They were unique and are irreplaceable. Long live Rush!
Same. Not only does it seem like they have given us a million years of music, but it is all available for us to watch again and again! I can't tell you how much I have been enjoying searching out and playing my favorite renditions of songs over and over and over. Although I really think the "Xanadu, Exit Stage Left" version is the best live version, this one is great. Personally, I think "The Garden" live in Dallas, has got to be one of the best rock songs ever to be played live. Just because it always gets me emotional remembering Neil.
I think we should consider ourselves lucky to have all these fantastic recordings ! i fortunately got to see Rush almost yearly from middle 70;s through 2015 ! But these Gems will live forever ! Thanks for post RiP Neil Peart !
The Majesty of them all standing to perform on the rare moments Neil stands and plays the tubular bells behind him. They are literally Kings of the Guitar, Bass, and Drum Kingdoms.
Love that all of us metal heads love Rush..the metal community will always stand with Rush... And they are not prog-band... The title always pissed me off... They are Rush!!
had to stop halfway thru the song. so many memories. SO so glad I spent the $$ to see them front row in San Jose and 5-6th? row at the final gig at the Forum in LA. When Neil came out for the bow, we knew it was The End. The audio and visual on this is what I want on a endless loop when I'm in hospice care - honestly - I'd die to this and be a happy man. Watching the Hawkins tribute and Ged and Al play with Dave, Cgad and Danny...it just really settles in just how made for each other the guys that were RUSH were. The covers are uncomfortable, but I appreciate the effort. That said, RUSH was and will ever be, the Best, Ever
What a blessing it is to have the internet and UA-cam to be able to watch and enjoy our favorite bands play and imortalize their memory! I hope to enjoy Rush to the day I die!
That was the one I went to. I wanted to see them a second time, but by the time I was sure I could go, I couldn't get tickets. :( What a great show that was. It's probably my favorite of all I've seen.
Oh Thank you! I'm front row center with tears of joy and loss from Colorado, knowing it's my last RUSH show, and simply loving life and my man for making it happen...
In a genre so heavily dominated by revered English progressive rock bands, Rush and Kansas were the pinnacle. They proved that progressive rock could be powerful and accessible, mystical yet deeply resonate with audiences all at the same time.... Taking the listener on epic journeys of the mind, their music was timeless, made to last forever.... Men will someday be wheeling through the galaxy on a spaceship lovingly named the Rocinante, still listening to RUSH.
Cool. I saw them in Toronto this tour. Loved them bringing back the 12 string just like the old days. I had a feeling that night it would be my last time seeing RUSH and sadly I was right.
The other two guys never wanted to do the extra stuff. It was always Geddy picking up their slack. Who can sing? Geddy, you do it. Who can play pedals? Geddy, you do it. Who can play keyboards? Geddy, you do it. Who can make waterfall sounds? Geddy, you do it. Who's doing the laundry? Geddy, you do it. Who's roasting the chickens? Geddy, you do it.
It's super cool the ways in which Rush compensate for being a 3 piece. Alex hitting those bass parts with his feet and Geddy switching over to 12 string guitar over the solo. I never really realized how they did this and this video shows that very well. Good stuff.
Odd to realize it's been seven years. But I'm ok with them ending with this tour. They've toured relentlessly all their lives. Neil's heart wasn't in it anymore and Alex wasn't far behind him. They've given enough.
34 Years in between tours to see this performed in its entirety, in between years, my friends would be disappointed that it wasn't done, until now, highlight of R40!
Great job my friend! Wow in some ways it's like an educational video on how to play Alex's parts on Xanadu. Notice the bass sounds he triggers with his feet. As a guitar player I must again thank you for this raw yet perfect capture. I was there at MSG that night. You had better seats.
I find it hard to believe, The Power Trio will never perform together again! there is a huge void in my life, they were such a positive driving force, innovative talented, just raw horsepower! Definitely there’s a piece of me missing!
We who were Fortunate Enough to share our Lives in this Moment in Time and Space with The Three of them,Must Forever Spread the Good Word to those Unfortunates who follow in our Future Footsteps, The Power, the Magic and the Majesty that is RUSH!! R.I.P. NEIL PEART!!! WE'LL NOT SEE THEIR LIKE AGAIN!!!!!
I am glad to say that I was at that show. I've seen them many times going back to presto. At The Garden, Jones Beach, Nassau colleseum, Barclay's, that place in jersey. I miss seeing them perform.
Whenever a rock station would do a world premiere of a new album, I always wanted to hear what Neil Peart had to say about the lyrics that he wrote. After his family tragedies, he stopped doing those interviews.
Geddy Lee's voice had really changed here. It was time at this point. I'll never forget that '79 show. He sounded just like he did on the record for Xanadu!
And once again, Rush takes me on a journey to that place. That place that has no name, that cannot be described. However, somehow all of us meet at this place. The place that Neil and Rush Created. It’s not a real place, and yet somehow we all meet here. Thanks Rush, thanks Neil, amd thanks to all the ‘fans’ that helped Rush to become something we can all enjoy. We can all meet in this place that doesn’t really exist
Love how Alex is standing next to Geddy and watching him play, only to see Geddy mouth the words, "That's how its supposed to go". LOL Great video, great group!
Where do we go from here? They’re gone, their best memories are watching their “Cinema Strangiato” movie, simply perfect🏆. The best modern Prog is now found in independent artists. I suggest the following; Andrew Bordoni, Andy Timmons, Carl Roa, Jonas Hellborg. Great Prog still lives on!, you just need to find it👍😎.
this is a very well filmed video for being homemade on a phone.❤ the band is really on their mark and in the pocket whatever night this was when you saw them. congratulations on the awesome footage of a really well played song from the books of Rush
Wow! Alex really nailed the solo at the end - very true to the original studio version. I think they played this every time I saw Rush. Were there any Rush tours when they didn't play Xanadu?

Brings tears to my eyes. In the entire history of man on this planet, we were alive to see Rush. I miss them so much.
they are sorely missed...a hole in the musical universe...
RIP NEAL🙏
Forever. Legends.
So very true Don!! Brings tears to my eyes every time i watch a video of these guys...
By far and when I say far!!!! The best band to ever to play music. There is so much precision and creativity in their music, that they are in a league of their own above all bands ever to play. They pushed their skills beyond what no others could quite accomplish.
Yes indeed!!!

Whathehell have you been smoking?
There’s bands way better.
Your taste in music is terrible.
@@porkbelly0713,I live in Pensacola, never have missed a show from here to New Orleans to Tampa. I miss them so much,already. Greatest musicians of all times!
No argument. Something majestic about donning 2 double necks. Hail the King.
My dad raised me on Rush. (I'm 27 now) but still listen to Rush nearly every day and I bring my 9 month old son on for the ride and I will pass down the legacy. I have a girl on the way as well and will teach her the same. We're keeping Rush alive. What a perfect band and example of creative music. RIP Neil ❤️
All right…I’ll say it: Best Rock band ever.
RUSH is my fav but when ya think about it...well anyway PEACE!
Never gets old watching them play this song. Oh the high school memories that last forever!
I sat for hours until I could play the whole song. Of course, we could not play it in my band.
Yep, high school was my time too, saw them 3 times, never failed to love them!
The 3 Kings, forever remembered.
Very well put
That was the ******REAL******Farewell to Kings Tour.
Simply an unbelievable song and amazing that it can be performed flawlessly live.
Awesome video. This was my 50th and final Rush concert. I sadly never made it to LA but was glad my live journey with them ended where it began. I saw my first show at MSG on 9/17/84, so it was appropriate I come full circle. I was even with the same friend!
My brother took me to my first show when I was 15 in 1979. We got to go together to see RUSH in Las Vegas bringing us full circle also.
I was already a fan in the late seventies but when I saw them in 1981 in Montreal, I became a superfan. They were unique and are irreplaceable. Long live Rush!
DITTO
How can you not LOVE these Guys!!! And to one of the greatest lyric writers that ever lived...Miss you Neil!
I just LOVED watching Neil in your video. So terribly sad that we lost this amazing man.
One of my top five Rush songs Xanadu.. it seems like Rush has given us a million years of music.. my favorite rock band..
Best song they ever did ❤️
3 man symphony

Awesome footage. My wife and I were so fortunate to have seen three shows on this tour. This being the last. I cherish this. Thank you.
No better rock band has ever graced a stage. Man, Alex is an absolute monster!

Darn it.....after seeing these guys 10 times in concert i am going to miss them performing together!!! Rush fan from Galveston Texas!!!
one of the most incredible performances i have ever seen... I never realised Alex played Xanadu with such passion and precision
I've seen lots of bada.. concerts from Sabbath to Maiden, METALLICA , VH Aerosmith ,Acdc, but RUSH IS TO ME THE BEST!
Rush is king! But, those early years of Van Halen shows were freaking electric!!
Love that all of us metal heads love Rush..the metal community will always stand with Rush... And they are not prog-band... The title always pissed me off...
They are Rush!!

Absolutely majesty on stage
The Trio that is Lerxst, Dirk and the Professor
Playing, in my opinion, the best song ever written and played
R.I.P Neil
These guyys were amazing, both recording and live. I miss their shows!
I miss Iive Rush shows😢
The world really sucks without Rush.
What a blessing it is to have the internet and UA-cam to be able to watch and enjoy our favorite bands play and imortalize their memory! I hope to enjoy Rush to the day I die!
Of all the bands out there Rush was always at the top of the list to see live.
that was my last rush show of about 30 shows. i literally cried when it was over i knew that was my last one rip neil
Three of the finest and best musicians Rock and Roll have produced. In music and character.
That was the one I went to. I wanted to see them a second time, but by the time I was sure I could go, I couldn't get tickets. :( What a great show that was. It's probably my favorite of all I've seen.

Just a Masterpiece of Music. This song and Camera Eye are just Perfect!
I was there! I remember it like yesterday, after travel from Chile, thanks for the uploading!
One of the greatest bands of all time.
Rush roll the bones and presto epic shows with friends that are no longer here so awesome memories
Can't remember ever seeing Alex show so much emotion when playing live....very cool.
Cool. I saw them in Toronto this tour. Loved them bringing back the 12 string just like the old days. I had a feeling that night it would be my last time seeing RUSH and sadly I was right.
Amazing how Ged can play bass and the pedals at the same time, not many musicians can do this, such talent.
The other two guys never wanted to do the extra stuff. It was always Geddy picking up their slack. Who can sing? Geddy, you do it. Who can play pedals? Geddy, you do it. Who can play keyboards? Geddy, you do it. Who can make waterfall sounds? Geddy, you do it. Who's doing the laundry? Geddy, you do it. Who's roasting the chickens? Geddy, you do it.
You could tell, this was the end. You can see they put everything they had into there last performances together.. 🥲

Amazing. Nice shooting over the “pro” guy. Was in that spot for RTB in St. Louis. Nice way to see the show!
34 Years in between tours to see this performed in its entirety, in between years, my friends would be disappointed that it wasn't done, until now, highlight of R40!
What a ride! Every time I've seen them play this, it's like the best roller coaster ride ever. A blast every time.
Fantastic tune from the greatest Rock Band. Well filmed.
Congratulations! You captured history.
One of the best solos and songs ever penned. We saw it live! Priceless! What a tour!
Thanks for sharing. My fav song by one of my fav bands! 😁
Awesome! This was my final Rush show. I was in a box up above you. Thanks for this video!
I witnessed Rush so many times I can't remember but each time it was epic!
Great job my friend! Wow in some ways it's like an educational video on how to play Alex's parts on Xanadu. Notice the bass sounds he triggers with his feet. As a guitar player I must again thank you for this raw yet perfect capture. I was there at MSG that night. You had better seats.
Found this footage and I am taking guitar lessons from Lifeson!!
@@thedrogo3953 Well how the heck do you sign up for those!!
I sat for hours until I could play the whole song. Of course, we could not play it in my band.
WOW So Great, Canadian 🇨🇦 Rock at its BEST
That was awesome. Thanks for posting. I miss them.
The double necks never get old. Rush is the GOAT
I love this video and no AdSense to ruin it in the middle of it! Awesome video. Thanks for uploading.

Just before the end of the band. Having listened to their music from childhood, they really did seem to be immortal. I thought Rush would outlive me!
Aside from my little brother dying from cancer, few things hurt so much as Peart, West and VanHalen passing. I hope all of you truly rest in peace.
I've been a Rush fan since 1981 but my biggest regret is that I've never seen Rush live.
Whenever a rock station would do a world premiere of a new album, I always wanted to hear what Neil Peart had to say about the lyrics that he wrote. After his family tragedies, he stopped doing those interviews.
The first five minutes, no words just wonderful music, after that, it gets BETTER!
Geddy Lee's voice had really changed here. It was time at this point. I'll never forget that '79 show. He sounded just like he did on the record for Xanadu!
I love the wood thrush bird singing away. That was cool. I hear them all the time when I'm in The Great White North.
how time flies..miss the band
man ! just 3 band members ... the singer was awesome. His voice can depict 2 singers 👍👍👍
And once again, Rush takes me on a journey to that place. That place that has no name, that cannot be described. However, somehow all of us meet at this place. The place that Neil and Rush Created. It’s not a real place, and yet somehow we all meet here. Thanks Rush, thanks Neil, amd thanks to all the ‘fans’ that helped Rush to become something we can all enjoy. We can all meet in this place that doesn’t really exist
The full and complete rendition, including all the bells and whistles, and of course birds.
This song is a "Sonic Masterpiece!".....anyone else agree? RIP Professor!
Thanks for sharing this....amazing!!!
Greatest band ever, ever!
Awesome show😍 My last Rush show 😢
It’s amazing three guys can punch out soo much sound! 🤗
Finally a look at Geddy playing the guitar on this song..very rare to see that
Rush the only band ever with more guitar necks on stage than band members!!
Greatest Power Trio on this planet! So powerful!
Love how Alex is standing next to Geddy and watching him play, only to see Geddy mouth the words, "That's how its supposed to go". LOL Great video, great group!
no that's no t what he said get some glasses
One of my favorite songs ever. Great performance.
What a treat 😍
So awesome 😎

Duo double neck, abselutely funtastic, i cant describe how amazing they performancing 👍👍👍🤘✌️
People who understand RUSH understand beauty
RUSH FAN FOREVER!😎🤘
Such an amazing band..each one so freaking talented and together....
magic!
Rest in Peace brother Niel Pert🙏✌🌷💔
this is a very well filmed video for being homemade on a phone.❤ the band is really on their mark and in the pocket whatever night this was when you saw them. congratulations on the awesome footage of a really well played song from the books of Rush
Beautiful!
There will never be another.......
I can't believe I never got to see them live again after 1992....30 years ago!
Unforgettable and un fucking wicked! Never forget this tour!~
Awesomeness.
Great perspective! Thanks for this.
Three of my favorite musicians they make the noise of six and it's beautiful Timeless sound
They had one of the best drummers around Neal was a monster on them drums always
Wow! Alex really nailed the solo at the end - very true to the original studio version.
I think they played this every time I saw Rush. Were there any Rush tours when they didn't play Xanadu?
why does that surprise you? he wrote the song 😎
@@royharper2003 They don't always stick that close to the original guitar solo.
Wow, is all I can say! Almost flawless!
I will miss them
Hell yeah...nice job!!! I was there...so good... 😃
Never seen dual Gibson SGs played before. Alex tearing them up as usual.
