I was one of the fortunate few who was able to attend this and I wanted to point out a few adds. When you hear people speaking of the crowd erupting, they meant it. I have been to a ton of concerts and some extremely large crowd events. Nothing, I mean nothing was as deafening by a crowd than in the staples center that night. After the first 30 seconds to a minute you just had to laugh at it. By the second minute your eyes were well opened and people staring at each other in amazement. By the third minute and what seemed an eternity the crowd finally went down. HBO did a massive edit on their final cut of the show and it doesn't do it justice. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever been graced with attending
Thank you for sharing. Television can edit the audio. I was at the Superbowl and the fans were booing Paul Tagliabue. We get home and play back the tape of the game, you couldn't hear a single boo.
I think the most touching part of this is how many of their fellow musicians were cheering for them as well. They earned that roar, and no award will ever be worth as much as that.
Extremely well put. I was just thinking the same thing that all of those amazing musicians absolutely went over the top when they heard Toronto because they knew it was Rush. How could you ever top that!!
The reaction from Jan, the joy on Grohl's face, those at the Rush table with their hands to their mouths, astonished, the peer musicians standing up to show the enormous RESPECT they have for the undeniable talent and the good faith with which it has been delivered to us all for 40 years. Even without the deafening roar of appreciation, you can see the impact on the faces. What a memorable moment in MUSIC, let alone rock history.
You just have no idea how loud that was. Most of us fans could only afford the tickets all the way at the top and in the back. It was full. And it was loud and long. Goosebumps doesn't even begin to explain it. Highly emotional. RIP Professor, you did good. So very cool that Neil got to have this moment before he got sick.
I also love the fact that each band member had at least one parent at the event to witness the impact of their sons’ accomplishment, and feel the degree of love and respect they had earned from fans and fellow musicians. That must have been a thrill beyond belief!
Absolutely brother. None will ever equal RUSH, Integrity, perseverance , humbleness and humor. The greatest trio that ever existed. RIP Neil, you are deeply missed.
I have never cried this much,over people I've never meet. I'm 57 years old now. My first concert 2112. We were longhaired hippie pot smokers. But,we knew music. I had played my 2112 record a hundred times. But,when I saw Rush live. It was incredible. I've saw them 13 times since that day. Damn,I had no warning. Just,once second the greatest drummer that ever lived,was dead. RIP to the professor. Thanks Rush, you never let me down. The world is turning a little slower. I'll never forget the times I got high and tripped out,to the greatest band of all time... Thanks guys for forty great years.
That roar was well deserved for 2 reasons. 1. Rush is an amazing band 2. The fans and fellow artists knew the RRHOF had denied Rush for too long and this was a middle finger to the RRHOF
How can you not shed a tear when the crowd went nuts for Rush. For me, the most influential band in history. Long live Rush, long remember the Professor (Neil Peart).
Dave Grohl was clapping in 11/8, like a true fan. Edit: Dave and Taylor left a beautiful tribute to Neil that everyone should check out. He inspired so many great musicians, as well as countless amateurs like me. There will never be another drummer like Neil.
shaking like tremolo That was some peak Rush right there. They made a great move when they hired Neil. He knew a thing or two about drums. Taking some time today to revisit all my favorite Rush moments. Neil will never be forgotten.
My favourite part about this is seeing how happy and excited Tom Morello and Dave Grohl are at applauding Rush. Also how stunned Alex, Geddy and Neil are at the crowd. They knew they made amazing music and moved plenty of fans but for the first time their seeing how dedicated they are to them and how much of a beautiful legacy they have left. Also noticed Chad Smith was there as well.
Goosebumps. I think Geddy's wife had her hand over her mouth in utter disbelief at the love and reaction the band got. Well deserved multiple times over.
Whether you're a fan of Rush or not, you got to admire them for having loyal fans and utmost respect as musicians. The fact they are family men and still married to their high school sweetheart which makes them respected as human beings. I don't know if there are other band like them.
Neil Pearts Wife and Daughter are smiling down on him from heaven ❤️ RIP Neil Peart, you are reunited with your wife and daughter ❤️ We love and miss you 💘
I AM INCREDIBLY FORTUNATE, PRIVILEDGED, & NOW A VERY ACCOMPLISHED GUITAR PLAYER, BASS PLAYER, & INTERMEDIATE DRUMMER DUE TO THE TUTELAGE OF ALEX LIFESON, MY BIGGEST INFLUENCE IN MUSIC. RUSH AS A WHOLE TOOK ME ON A 10 YEAR JOURNEY FROM 1982 - 1992 AND BEYOND. THEY WERE MY BIGGEST FORMATIVE YEARS MUSIC PROFESSORS TECHING ME MUSIC THEORY, COMPOSITION AND GUITAR PLAYING AS I LISTENED AND PLAYED ALL THEIR MUSIC; AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE TREMENDOUS IMPACT THEY WOULD HAVE ON ME FOR ALL THE YEARS TO COME. I WAS REGARDED AS ONE OF THE HOTTEST AND VERY SOUGHT AFTER GUITARISTS IN SOUTH FLORIDA FOR A LONG TIME. THANK YOU RUSH, YOU DID THIS TO ME. MY WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO EQUAL THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF CREATIVITY YOU CULTIVATED IN ME.
man, they did it right,,,, all of it, as a 3 piece, everything divided 3 ways....period, retirement, perfection in timing, and went out on their terms and at a great height of their respective abilities. A lesson to all...take notice..
@@russlupky3505 I think what Louise is saying is that pride (being proud) should be reserved for an accomplishment of some sort. Being Canadian, for most of us, is just a happy accident. Being Canadian is something to be thankful for... incredibly thankful for. She sure sounded bitchy writing that comment though.
That was a great moment for Rush and overdue moment they have the greatest fans in the world I become a rush fan on December 25th 1975 Christmas morning my mother always bought me an album for Christmas cuz she knew I loved rock and roll and she just happened to buy me a rush album she new nothing about Rush and I didn't either the only reason she picked that album was because it had a owl on the front of the album cover and she'll loved owls Fly by Night I listen to it that morning the whole album I was 14 years old and I became a rush fan for life thank you Mom thank you rush I love you both especially my mom
My mom walked into my dark bedroom one night while I was at band practice to drop off some laundry. When I came home she said something in there was "looking" at her. I had the album cover propped up on my roll top desk and the eyes were glowing in the dark. It gave me a really big laugh.
@@kennethtilton6137 I remember getting the first Rush album just called Rush and Fly by Night for my birthday in Mar '75....I was the coolest kid for about 3 weeks...LOL
RUSH stands among the best bands of Rock & Roll. Where Led Zeppelin, Yes, Pink Floyd, The Who and The Rolling Stones were loved and made successful by radio airplay RUSH truly gained its success from its fans. Who knows how many thousands of musicians around the world were inspired to pick up a guitar, bass or drums because of their musicianship and independence of from the music industry. This was their day of recognition not only by the fans but by the music industry who paid homage to the Kings of Progressive Rock!
As happy as I could be for people I've never met personally. It was an absolute honor and privilege to be a fan for most of my life. And I never felt cheated any time I bought an album or any of the 49 times I saw them.
I went to the Clockwork Angles Tour 2012, TD Garden, MA Boston. It was a great experience watching and listening to the live performances for the first time ever in life after 31 years of waiting. I'm coming far from the other side of world. I had missed few of their concerts here. I love these 3 amazing guys... their music, creativity and most importantly, their long live rock and roll till end. Miss you Neil and hope you have a good rest...
this is the difference being a real musician and not just a hit producing machine. You might not be on the cover of magazines or tabloids but you build loyal fans and most impotantly you influence other musicians....respect.
My favourite part about this is seeing how happy and excited Tom Morello and Dave Grohl are at applauding Rush. Also how stunned Alex, Geddy and Neil are at the crowd. They knew they made amazing music and moved plenty of fans but for the first time their seeing how dedicated they are to them and how much of a beautiful legacy they have left.
What a F#####g Reaction from the Crowd, including Dave grohl,Chad Smith,Tom Morello, and all other rocker's in attendance Standing and Showing Who Their IDOLS are with Super Enthusiasm, Joyous Applause,Absolute Adoration, Cheers, Raucous Ovation and Sheer Reverence for those 3 Truly Humbled,yet Supremely Worthy Gentlemen! What they lack in Egotism they more than make up for just with their Stature as Conquering Hero's in the Heart's of Fans, but Especially as True GIANT'S Among their own ROCK PEERS! Long Live RUSH!
We have lost a lot of great musicians in last few years but when I heard about Neil passing I broke down at work and started crying. I have never had such an emotional connection to any band like I have with rush. I grew up with them during the 80s and still love them now in 2021. Rest in piece Neil.
THANK U GUYS FOR BEING THERE FOR ME THESE PAST 35 YRS...NEIL .ALEX GEDDY...HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME THRU BAD TIMES AND GOOD.....RUSH IS THE GREATEST BAND IN THE GALAXY....
They gave us their LIVES❣🤟😎 I bawl😭 like a 👶 every time I watch this.....wait....nah...not watch..REVEL in this perfect moment in time... FOREVER dwells in this moment..🥀
@@muzicaempathica6479 PERFECT. I shake I cry so hard. But I am smiling too. We can never thank them enough. 40 years of living in hotel rooms, being away from families, friends, pets, and comforts of home. I love the way you phrased your comment.
@@jenniferjones7229 🤭😘 Thank you for your generously kind words❣ #RUSH is the 🎁Gift that keeps on Giving‼️40+ years and they continue to astound, bring joy, and break my heart 💔 wide open. I L💗VE THEM and have Thanked God on more than one occasion for their immense talents, bringing them together as only He could have, and letting me be alive at this time⏳ To marvel at the ONE & ONLY MIGHTY RUSH‼️‼️💗💗⏳💗💗
@@muzicaempathica6479 Right? Give thanks and praises for RUSH. Also, personally, my RUSH family on social media helps a lot. Neil Peart Fans, Geddy Lee Fan Club, Clock Work Angels, Cygnus X-1, all fantastic, for the most part, uplifting. Met a lot of kind RUSH brothers and RUSH sisters there from all over the world. (I'm in France, originally de California though).
Seen this a million times and always get a lump in my throat. I've been a die-hard Rush fan since 1982. Thinking back to Junior High and high school when I had to explain to people why Rush was so amazing and they didn't get it... This moment was the best feeling for us fans. How cool that their wives were part of the moment
And from Toronto ... This is what we knew - best band ever 🤘 Soundtrack to our entire lives from three humble guys from Canada Thank you Alex, Neil and Geddy Rush 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
It was about time, the group that defines “Rock n Roll” finally received the induction into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame they preached and deserve to be. RUSH is what Rock n Roll is about !!! RUSH
As a lifelong Rush fan this was a great moment to behold, especially seeing all the love from their fellow musicians. Pleasantly surprised to see Dave Grohl’s reaction. His drumming style is the polar opposite of Neil’s.
i am 51 years old and when I was a kid growing up i had 3 posters a on my bedroom wall 1) Led Zeppelin, 2) Pink Floyd and Last but not Least the Giant RUSH “Fly by Night” Owl Poster.... I Thank you...thank you...thank you...thank you.. for the great music and memories and lyrics that made me think about the world and my place in it... Lyrics and music that made me want to be part of the solution in the world and not part of the problem. I can honestly say that as Rush fans, we don’t just listen to the music... we literally internalize it!!!!
Grew up with this band. Heard "Working Man" as a teenager and I was hooked. Every time I see the induction ceremony, I hate to say I tear up but I do. Yeah, I'm 56. Stupid I know but these three musicians are true geniuses.
Every time i watch this i cry. These guys deserve those ovations and so much more .. The expressions on all there faces says it all you are loved. This short few minutes watching neil makes me feel soooo fortunate to have listened and read his works. Wonder if she realizes how strong the devotion is in Rushs fanbase and the love for her husband is. 🌹✌🙏🇺🇸
Aside from being a fan, I gotta say that it is an ABSOLUTE breath of fresh air to hear the place erupt for three musical geniuses who danced around mainstream their entire career. This is precisely why you stick to your guns and do what YOU want, not what radio or mainstream want!!
The greatest band of all time. They should of been inducted a long long long time ago. I will be forever indebted to Rush for everything they have done for me.
Thanks guys for being the soundtrack to my life since I was a teenager. Im now 52 and you have always been there since I heard 2112 as a 15 year old and it blew my mind. I have been there at EVERY gig in the UK, never got the chance to see you in Canada but my bank account has taken enough of a bashing over the years! The fans are loyal because they know how good the music is and how humble you are as musicians and creatives.....back to the music.....
I've been a Rush fan ever since a neighbor friend introduced me to the "All the World's a Stage" album when I was just 13 years old. I'm 50 now. Throughout the years, while I always loved Rush, I followed them less and less never really thinking that one day I wouldn't have the chance to see them perform ever again. I was fortunate to see them live for Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows and again for Hold Your Fire. I assumed I'd get to see them again later when time and money permitted. We often don't think about something being gone until it really is. Since the passing of Neil, I've once again found my love of Rush, dusted it off and put it forefront where it should be. I tear up now every time I hear Time Stand Still and The Garden. I've sunk myself into Neil's books; listening to them through Audible and hearing Neil narrate them while briefly pretending he's still here with us. I watch these videos in awe and even smile a bit more during the blah blah blah speech so eloquently delivered by Alex. Neil's passing has helped me to stop assuming things won't change, and that time isn't something to be squandered and taken for granted.
This was really one of the most wonderful and magical moments in the history of RR Hall of Fame. Spontaneous, Sincere and Affectionate. Congratulations RUSH, it was immortalized.
I was in that crowd that night and let me tell you I don't think any of the videos of that moment capture what it was really like. When I first got out of the cab at the event I said, wow there's a lot of Rush fans here. And then the "And from Toronto" moment came, I thought the roof was going to blow off the place. All of the Rush fans took over 100%.
Was 13 yrs old when a friend handed me a ticket to their "A Farewell to Kings" show. Two years later they opened the "Permanent Waves" tour in my hometown. Didn't see another show until my son bought me a ticket to their R40 Tour.
Why would a grown man start to cry when he said Toronto and the cheers blew up? Real Rush fans understand. RIP Professor.
Yep! That’s why I come back once in a while
Fucking right my friend…no other video effects me the way this one does…RIP Professor
There will never be a band like Rush ever again. Not. Ever.
OH YES WE DO ....❤❤❤
I guess that question was directed at me.
Watching this after Neil's passing really makes the eyes water
Matty S facts, now put the onions away pls.
Same
I knoiw the feeling...Vale Neil.
I think my allergies are acting up too 🙄
me too
I was one of the fortunate few who was able to attend this and I wanted to point out a few adds.
When you hear people speaking of the crowd erupting, they meant it. I have been to a ton of concerts and some extremely large crowd events. Nothing, I mean nothing was as deafening by a crowd than in the staples center that night. After the first 30 seconds to a minute you just had to laugh at it. By the second minute your eyes were well opened and people staring at each other in amazement. By the third minute and what seemed an eternity the crowd finally went down.

I was there and totally agree. However, one correction, it was the Nokia theater, not Staples Center.
I think the most touching part of this is how many of their fellow musicians were cheering for them as well. They earned that roar, and no award will ever be worth as much as that.
Extremely well put. I was just thinking the same thing that all of those amazing musicians absolutely went over the top when they heard Toronto because they knew it was Rush. How could you ever top that!!
The looks on Tom Morrello and Dave Grohls faces...
@@theossy loved that part!❤ True fans. Love RUSH!
Did you see the documentary? Watch the documentary.

Well said 👏 👌 👍
As someone who loves Rush, how can you not get tears of joy watching?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes
End_of_Line 45 Bitter sweet tears.
First time i watch i cried my eyes out but it was so worth it!!
Amen!!! Poetic justice baby!
I did !
I started to leave a comment, then broke down. My words are not worthy. Thank you Rush, the greatest band Ever!!
RIP Mr. Neil Peart!! 🙏🙏
You just have no idea how loud that was. Most of us fans could only afford the tickets all the way at the top and in the back. It was full. And it was loud and long. Goosebumps doesn't even begin to explain it. Highly emotional. RIP Professor, you did good. So very cool that Neil got to have this moment before he got sick.
I can play this over and over and never get enough of it.
RIP Brother Neil.
I'm watching it constantly as well, would love to see the original footage.
Ditto
Amen brother!
As RUSH fans, this was total validation of everything we knew and believed about our beloved music...The soundtrack of our lives.
Indeed Rush was literally the soundtrack of my life
I also love the fact that each band member had at least one parent at the event to witness the impact of their sons’ accomplishment, and feel the degree of love and respect they had earned from fans and fellow musicians. That must have been a thrill beyond belief!
Great point. Hurts knowing that Neil is gone, Mary Weinrib and Glen Peart too 😭
"And from Toronto..." enough said
and the crowd roars.😁
Keith Citizen has
I cheered when I saw the dude jump back...I had NEVER seen this part before; THANK YOU!!!
Not from Toronto....from the World.....
We have a lot to be proud of. Best Place in the world. (our Home) Canada
One of the greatest moments of rock ever!
AMEN
Agreed

I’ve never been more proud to be Canadian. Thank you Geddy, Alex and Neil. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

None will ever equal RUSH, Integrity, perseverance , humbleness and humor.
The greatest trio that ever existed.
RIP Neil, you are deeply missed.
I can honestly say as a lifelong Rush fanatic this brought me to tears

The fact that they was so stunned showed just how humble these three musical prodigies really are ! And from Toronto .........
This is the single greatest moment that shows the influence and emotion these three Canadian artists have invoked in all of their millions of fans!
RIP Professor.
Greatest drummer of all time!

Whether you're a fan of Rush or not, you got to admire them for having loyal fans and utmost respect as musicians. The fact they are family men and still married to their high school sweetheart which makes them respected as human beings. I don't know if there are other band like them.

3 real gentlemen of rock music. By the way, it is not rock music, it is Rush music. RIP Neil Peart, you made me love to play drums...
Who in their right mind is chopping up onions this early in the morning.
Rush is the classiest band period.
Over all the decades they made great music, they showed up in the tabloids maybe one time.
Alex (of course it was Alex) got drunk and pushed a cop. It was around test for echo i think.
I cried... Im big fan from Poland
zidan 89 and i too! Im from brazil
I am a huge fan from Toronto!
...From Vancouver!
From the netherlands
zidan 89 I also cried. Also big fan from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
God my heart is heavy today, RIP Neil. You were much more than the greatest drummer this earth has ever seen.

I bawl😭 like a 👶 every time I watch this.....wait....nah...not watch..REVEL
in this perfect moment in time...
FOREVER dwells in this moment..🥀
@@muzicaempathica6479 PERFECT. I shake I cry so hard. But I am smiling too. We can never thank them enough. 40 years of living in hotel rooms, being away from families, friends, pets, and comforts of home. I love the way you phrased your comment.
@@jenniferjones7229 🤭😘 Thank you for your generously kind words❣
#RUSH is the 🎁Gift that keeps on Giving‼️40+ years and they continue to astound, bring joy, and break my heart 💔 wide open.
I L💗VE THEM and have Thanked God on more than one occasion for their immense talents, bringing them together as only He could have, and letting me be alive at this time⏳
To marvel at the ONE & ONLY MIGHTY RUSH‼️‼️💗💗⏳💗💗
@@muzicaempathica6479 Right? Give thanks and praises for RUSH. Also, personally, my RUSH family on social media helps a lot. Neil Peart Fans, Geddy Lee Fan Club, Clock Work Angels, Cygnus X-1, all fantastic, for the most part, uplifting. Met a lot of kind RUSH brothers and RUSH sisters there from all over the world. (I'm in France, originally de California though).
Seen this a million times and always get a lump in my throat. I've been a die-hard Rush fan since 1982. Thinking back to Junior High and high school when I had to explain to people why Rush was so amazing and they didn't get it... This moment was the best feeling for us fans. How cool that their wives were part of the moment
The music of Rush and the beat of Neil's drums will never die. R.I.P. Neil.
And from Toronto ...
This is what we knew - best band ever 🤘
Soundtrack to our entire lives from three humble guys from Canada
Thank you Alex, Neil and Geddy
Rush 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Simply... The best band in the galaxy.
It was about time, the group that defines “Rock n Roll” finally received the induction into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame they preached and deserve to be. RUSH is what Rock n Roll is about !!! RUSH
Thank you, Canada for all the talent you have given the world. The beer is great too.
Yes, we love Rush that much and always will. RIP Neil Peart.
The Garden, their 'swan song' playing in the BG makes this video even more memorable
Perfect choice
What a beautiful moment for RUSH.
They deserve that and more.
As a lifelong Rush fan this was a great moment to behold, especially seeing all the love from their fellow musicians. Pleasantly surprised to see Dave Grohl’s reaction. His drumming style is the polar opposite of Neil’s.
Rush. unlike many bands they have no ego to feed, they just gave us the best every time. One of the most unassuming bands ever
i am 51 years old and when I was a kid growing up i had 3 posters a on my bedroom wall 1) Led Zeppelin, 2) Pink Floyd and Last but not Least the Giant RUSH “Fly by Night” Owl Poster.... I Thank you...thank you...thank you...thank you.. for the great music and memories and lyrics that made me think about the world and my place in it... Lyrics and music that made me want to be part of the solution in the world and not part of the problem. I can honestly say that as Rush fans, we don’t just listen to the music... we literally internalize it!!!!
No band more deserving than RUSH. What a surreal moment for them.
Thank GOD Neil was around to see this LONG over due event take place! "RUSH" You are legendary!! AND FROM TORONTO!!!!!
Such humble and modest guys! Luv em!
Grew up with this band. Heard "Working Man" as a teenager and I was hooked. Every time I see the induction ceremony, I hate to say I tear up but I do. Yeah, I'm 56. Stupid I know but these three musicians are true geniuses.
I am 55 and feel the same way.
Tears running down my face. Farewell friend, rest in peace.
RIP Neil - great to see this happen while he could experience it no matter how much it didn't matter.
Every time i watch this i cry. These guys deserve those ovations and so much more .. The expressions on all there faces says it all you are loved. This short few minutes watching neil makes me feel soooo fortunate to have listened and read his works. Wonder if she realizes how strong the devotion is in Rushs fanbase and the love for her husband is. 🌹✌🙏🇺🇸
Aside from being a fan, I gotta say that it is an ABSOLUTE breath of fresh air to hear the place erupt for three musical geniuses who danced around mainstream their entire career. This is precisely why you stick to your guns and do what YOU want, not what radio or mainstream want!!
Best band in the universe. I love some Rush.
You could fly to Cygnus X1 and still not find a better band.
The greatest band of all time. They should of been inducted a long long long time ago. I will be forever indebted to Rush for everything they have done for me.
Thanks guys for being the soundtrack to my life since I was a teenager. Im now 52 and you have always been there since I heard 2112 as a 15 year old and it blew my mind. I have been there at EVERY gig in the UK, never got the chance to see you in Canada but my bank account has taken enough of a bashing over the years! The fans are loyal because they know how good the music is and how humble you are as musicians and creatives.....back to the music.....
I've been a Rush fan ever since a neighbor friend introduced me to the "All the World's a Stage" album when I was just 13 years old. I'm 50 now. Throughout the years, while I always loved Rush, I followed them less and less never really thinking that one day I wouldn't have the chance to see them perform ever again. I was fortunate to see them live for Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows and again for Hold Your Fire. I assumed I'd get to see them again later when time and money permitted. We often don't think about something being gone until it really is. Since the passing of Neil, I've once again found my love of Rush, dusted it off and put it forefront where it should be. I tear up now every time I hear Time Stand Still and The Garden. I've sunk myself into Neil's books; listening to them through Audible and hearing Neil narrate them while briefly pretending he's still here with us. I watch these videos in awe and even smile a bit more during the blah blah blah speech so eloquently delivered by Alex. Neil's passing has helped me to stop assuming things won't change, and that time isn't something to be squandered and taken for granted.
I get teary every time I see this. I just love them so much!!
What a beautiful moment in Rock N' Roll history.
This was really one of the most wonderful and magical moments in the history of RR Hall of Fame. Spontaneous, Sincere and Affectionate. Congratulations RUSH, it was immortalized.
That was flat out awesome! Got tears in my eyes now...just a few.
How could I have missed this. Truly, one of the great moments of Rock & Roll.
Perfect song underneath! Brought tears to my eyes. Miss this band!!!!
Rush make me feel proud to call this land as my home 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Happy to say I traveled from CT to see this. I was part of the throng of Rush fans. What an evening.
Do these guys not know how beloved they are?
I just cried
Don David Every time
@@Toktokispoison I keep coming back to this just to watch the announcer get blown back by the reaction. It really does brings tears.
Same - but it's a good kind of crying
Glad I'm not the only one.
What, again? Me too.
I cried too it was worth the wait for my favorite band to get in the rock and roll hall of fame!! Congrats boys.
I was in that crowd that night and let me tell you I don't think any of the videos of that moment capture what it was really like. When I first got out of the cab at the event I said, wow there's a lot of Rush fans here. And then the "And from Toronto" moment came, I thought the roof was going to blow off the place. All of the Rush fans took over 100%.
Was 13 yrs old when a friend handed me a ticket to their "A Farewell to Kings" show. Two years later they opened the "Permanent Waves" tour in my hometown. Didn't see another show until my son bought me a ticket to their R40 Tour.
wow, so much ya missed out on budd
Time stand still .
RIP the professor.
There are Quite Simply Not Enough Words in the HUMAN LANGUAGE to Accurately Describe just how GREAT They Truly Are!
