Forty years have passed like one day ;) Greetings to all who were at this concert or on this tour :)
I unfortunately did not have the same luck :(
One of the best rush period!
GReetings. This was my first concert. I remember that stage crunch. Geddy was pretty cool. The last show someone threw a lighter at him, and no more Rush in Tucson after that. Sorry Geddt for the idiot who did that.
Mark Skyscraper i’ve seen them 4 more times in Tucson past this show
I’m feeling more music in the hearts of RUSH..Very POWERFULLY...rising...with More majesty’s , Welocme , We OUR ..........
If you think about it, these guys were playing these 2 hour shows with extremely difficult music most of the time night after night at this point in their career. This is such an incredible set! Just imagine how physically demanding this would have been for Geddy vocally or just demanding for any of them. This set is insane and the fact that they could play it flawless and still keep going track after track is incredible. Truly the greatest band ever!
They were like 25 here. At that age its no big deal.
I was born and raised in Tucson and this was the first time seeing RUSH can’t believe it’s possible to hear it again I’ll never forget that night
At their rawest form! I started at the beginning with Rush 1974 and ended with R40! Love them and miss them so much now! RIP Neil!
So when did you start feeling about his voice exactly changed
Wonder if there’s anyone out there who saw them on every tour since 1968 so to speak?Maybe high-school mates?
RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR!
With heart felt admiration and sincerity!
Gary
Alex Lifeson: RUSH guitarist and Guru Extraordinaire! The HEART ❤️ AND SOUL OF RUSH! THE FUNNIEST MAN ON THE PLANET AND GREATEST SPEECH GIVER OF ALL TIME!!! BLAH…BLAH…BLAH! HATS 🎩 OFF TO ALEX LIFESON 😎😎😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎸🎸🎸
Unbelievable, THANK YOU for posting this. This is the tour I wish the most I had seen. Moving Pictures was my 1st show, December 5, 1981. Hemispheres is my favorite Rush era. A Farewell to Kings inspired me to play bass 45 years ago and hearing Hemispheres transports me back to the time I spent endless hours learning it. It marks a very significant and meaningful time for me in the soundtrack of my life. Job well done and a sincere heartfelt thanks.
I saw them on this tour. I was 14 and it was my third and last time that I ever saw them .
I saw Permanent Waves in 80. I was 16. Terrified! Bikers were everywhere. Then, oh my God. It was all dark like Exit Stage Left. At that point they played everything perfectly. 8 shows for me. Sad huh
Me too bro. Better late than never I guess. Every show was great… some earlier 80’s ones I don’t remember as well today. 😂
I learned xanadu on drums,sadly it took me 52 years and $750 in broken cymbals ,RIP PROFESSOR AND THANKS FOR MAKING MUSIC AWESOME,,,YOU TOO GEDDY AND ALEX !!!
From a Gary to Geddy your one of the most talented musician of all time! No one touches your talent on bass, keyboards, and singing! You are the definition of Unique and RUSH is not RUSH without your playing and vocals! To quote the movie: I LOVE YOU MAN! Alex and Neil as well!!
Excellent soundboard recording. I always felt such pride when they were introduced "from Toronto Canada"
pretty much the only thing worthwhile canada has produced.
@@willrobinson9575 way to add Rush spirit ya troll! lmao
To the greatest drummer in history! RIP Neil Peart!!!!!!
This could of been released as a live album. Hemispheres is probably my favorite Rush album.
Yup, I was at this show. The archetypal 16 year old kid up front of the barricade having my ribs crushed. I distinctly remember Derxst telling people to take 2 steps back and being so grateful. It was at the line that says "my rocinante sailed by night on her final flight" that I became absorbed into that music. 43 years and 26 concerts later we're still here. RIP Neil "Pratt The Professor" Peart...
This was the only time i got to see rush in concert. Second row new haven coliseum, new haven Connecticut. Unfortunately we were directly in front of the PA, and it was LOUD! So i couldn't enjoy it much even at 17 stoned and all. Then, out of nowhere, my friend finds me from the front barriers at the end of the show working for security and gets me on stage, stage left...ironically, and i get to watch mr Peart do his solo from maybe...10-12 feet away. And it was AWSOME! After that, Geddy and Alex signed our hemispheres program and i was forever grateful to have had that experience to this day. Thank you RUSH!
You can hear the evolution of Passage to Bangkok from very jingly to much darker and heavier. That song is still one of my favorites.
Don't have any bootlegs but I surely wish I had this one!!! Hemispheres was my first exposure but I didn't see them until the P. Waves tour. To think I missed this by just a year or so.
Looking back, this would have been my dream Rush tour. Sadly I wasn't introduced to Rush until 1980 :(
I saw this in Chicago for my first time. What a way to begin :) lol
That is true, in a way. Spirit and Pictures were still great, but this ended the whole progressive mind tripping theme albums for Rush. Neil encoded the end of the NWO in 2112 (side one) ("we have assumed control" from the cosmic rival Kingdom), unto the [eternal] "farewell to [human] kings" [on Earth] as the outcome, so by Hemispheres (the planetary recovery) that cypher was complete for 2037. That's how the 2112, farewell and hemispheres trilogy ties the "duality" (spirit and physical) together.
Better than '89 like me
@@markskyscraper8092 Please expand upon your cipher theory.
@@mitchellbracey5234 First off the dates are all speculation. What is not speculation is that a global crisis cycle precedes the globalized form of world government. That is the "temples of Syrinx" parallel of [temporary] global authority which must be allowed to complete and rule for a very short time in the future. That is the period of the aftermath of the temporary future global crash sequence parallel in the Overture, "and the meek shall inherit the earth", where the evil priests of Syrinx claim the recovery from the crash is divine, which helps put them in final power for a short time.
2112 is what has the whole future sequence in clear logical form which will fit the same crash to recovery cycle of the future into world government. The principle is also in Revelation 13::3 where the "sword-stroke" is NOT "doomsday" but instead "heals" into global recovery and into world government which world government allotted rule is the Daniel 12:11 1290 days parallel.
That is because the Cosmic Kingdom which arrives with "The Grand Finale" is very real and interested in saving as many people as possible and destroying Syrinx and its priests forever. Because religion is pretty much useless the final global awareness is formed over a time period where anyone will be able to choose which Kingdom they want to be with (Rev14::6-7), at a very open, positive, and peaceful arrival level. The "we have assumed control" cosmic powers will first offer peace, then conquer anything which wants to try to retain power over earth, hence the end of Syrinx new world order world government forever.
I refer to some Judeo-Christian prophecy, not organized religion ideas. That is because this story is present in many ancient spiritual histories of planet Earth because it is a common story of the real future of man, not for one religion type to claim to be the end all answer when clearly NONE of them are. The final "we have assumed control" must be open freely to ANYONE who wants in, and that increases the scope of the life preservation objective which is what it truly is for the whole planet. All we await now is the global crisis cycle, to said world government, to completion of rule and into the basic 2112 storyline which will affect all people under that Syrinx rule of corruption in various ways for it is all based on lies. That leads to the Grand Finale eventually as it just proceeds as it has here for billions of years, ONE day at a time into the new future of the planet.
This was my first tour to see RUSH live then saw them every tour all in ST.LOUIS MO. Saw them 21 times total, even acquired NEIL PEARTS autograph.R.I.P. PROFESSOR, On the R40 tour, we left the show during the encode to beat city traffic, sitting at the stoplight NEILS bus&trailer with his bikes inside, pulled up next to us, made a perfect night even better. So sad that it would never happen again😢
But hearing this sure brings back so many memories😊
Thanks to who ever posted this it's GREAT.
What a BAND!😆
NEIL, you the man🥁
Greatest band in the galaxy!
Rare concert Nice sound
The thing I notice about audio from the Hemispheres tour is that Ged always sounds completely exhausted and almost like he's just doing his best to get through the set so he can crash immediately after. Considering what the guys were putting themselves through at the time, I can't really blame him.
Loved this Era when they'd stick echo periodically on Geddys vocal lines. Sounds so cool
What a show to see both Cygnus books 1 and 2 back to back and how they always sounded exactly like the album sound they just came out with EVERY Time I've seen them , just Amazing Musicians no wonder I fell in love with them instantly at 10 yrs old 1976
I really appreciate all the work you put into uploading all of these to share Snowdog. My sincerest gratitude to you good sir, thank you.
I've got this
Awesome performance at a truly exceptional time for the band
Amazing music, best band ever
This stuff should be in a museum ! Classic stuff !
What a band! Doing this every night!! Beautifully flawed in that they strive for excellence always going for it wth a 90% average! Raw and powerful, most of all legendary performances on drums, bass and guitar. Pratt,Dirk and Lerxt
I love how we can hear Alex retuning his guitar before Bangkok. No fancy gadget yet.
holy cow I wish I was introduced earlier to rush, this concert was perfect, I was -22years when this happened :(
Are we not going to talk about how they played the entirety of the Hemispheres album?
Two years later: apparently not.
@@gavinvalentino6002...nuff said really...
My first 'Rock Concert'.@ 13yrs old in Canada!...
Rest in Beats Master Peart
Oh man I was just looking for live recordings of both Cygnus tracks! Awesome
meatballjoint same
I seen them on this tour in Sudbury, Ontario Canada when I was 16 years old, they were awesome. It was my 2nd concert after another great Toronto 3 piece band Triumph back in 1976 when I was 14.
Still the best tour I have ever seen. Saw them a month later in Chicago. It's their best setlist by a huge margin and the playing was never more powerful and perfect. I have listened to this show more times than I can count.
Great to hear them play Circumstances! That seemed not to stay on the set list for long, I guess space was needed for the Permanent Waves tracks after the Hemispheres tour :(
Heck yeah, best sounding RUSH bootleg I've heard, great set list b/c it's 1978.
I would say the boot "La Villa Strangiato" from 1980 is a smidge better in sound. It sounds as good as their official live albums and it has Natural Science (my fav) and La Villa Strangiato (awesome performance). This one sounds real good to no doubt!
@@marksaxon will check it out, thx.
8:49 when Ged added the breathy synth into the solo of Bangkok it took this song to a new level. Its really noticeable off the Exit Stage Left recording. Lifesons solo on that is characteristically astounding.
Set list fantástico!
Hemispheres album executado completo.
Rush, melhor banda do universo e de todas as galáxias possíveis!
I seen them on this tour in New Orleans at the Municipal Auditorium, never forget when the Bombs went off they were so bright we could not see for like 10 seconds ! Also our ears were ringing after the Concert for a long time. Ah the good ole days !
Saw the 12-11-78 show in KC at Municipal Auditorium. A few days after The Who concert in Cincinnati where concert goers were killed in the crush of a GA show. KC was the same GA scheme too. I thought I was going to to die from being crushed to death. The people behind us at the back yelling "One, two, three, four, open up the f'n door' and then pushing their way forward. When they finally realized what in the hell was happening outside the arena they opened one door. I got pinned sideways between door frame and turnstile. My friend John somehow managed to free me and we ran like hell to the front of the arena. Ended up about 4th row. The flash bombs they set off were so freakin' intense. Burned my eyebrows and eye lashes and saw spots the rest of the night. My ears rang for at least two days. Ah the good old days!
@@vinnieUTthe Who concert stampede that killed 11 people happened a year later in December 1979
Damn. What a set to see! Thanks for sharing this piece of music history. Rush inspired countless future musicians with just this set alone. That’s only a fraction.
Wow! my favourite Rush Live set ever..."Cygnus X1" in it's entirety, "Circumstances", and "A Farewell to Kings" (the first Rush Song I ever heard aged 13, nearly 40 years ago, it occupies a special place in my heart), oh and a little thing called "2112"! ~ many Thanks for Posting. R.I.P Neil Peart.
Saw this tour in NJ and NYC. What a set list!!!
THIS is the track listing order I remember when I saw them on The Tour of the Hemispheres May 1979 .
Thanks man! Checking out the addition of synth parts to some of these versions you had noted in another post... really neat! It’s exciting to hear the stride they’re hitting here in their evolution. For their first time in Tucson, the crowd sounds absolutely hyped to have them there. Nothing like the sound of a band on the rise! Awesome man! Thanks for posting!!
THIS IS KICKBUTT! LOVE THESE LIVE ONES. EACH HAS A UNIQUE CHARACTER WHEN THEY "WINGED IT"!
Took a different direction after this one with Permanent Waves. I think they just exhausted themselves with the epics.
That is an amazing bootleg, thanks for sharing.
Every time I run into a Hemispheres concert recording the first song I always listen to is La Villa Strangiato. If you are a musician, you'll know that this is not an easy song to play. If it's a good version, and they pull it off, then I take interest in the rest of the show. This is, indeed, an excellent version. Thanks for posting and sharing.
I think RUSH will live on forevermore
If you could find a recording from '77 that would be AMAZING , A TOUR TO END ALL TOURS , THE BEST SOUND !
love it!!! I did see it! 2 nights at the Cow Palace near San Francisco. If only there was video of the whole tour?? Does it even exist somewhere??? I would pay millions for a such a thing!!!!
1:26:34 to 1:29.06 is the part of La Villa that always brings a smile
Utterly incredible ♥️♥️♥️♥️
J'ai u la chance de voir rush une 20ene de fois minimum the best band live on this planet
Oh my god. It is Christmas
Opening to Cygnus, best Ric bass tone ever.
So great to hear them live from this period. I’ve been curious and this does not disappoint 😁
Holy crap this sounds good.
I saw this tour at the Palladium in NYC.
Forty ass-kicking years. Thx boys!🇨🇦
RIP Chef Ellwood
Wow. We ONLY stop for the Best!
What the fuck does that mean?
@@hhhfff7953 reference to the song bro... wreathed in smoke in Lebanon
Are you sure this a bootleg ? The sound is incredible !!!
I have a ticket stub extra from this show if anyone wants it. We had some good old Hardee's Mushroom Burgers for this one. As Xanadu began, the lights started to melt. Tucson Community Center.
Are you still trying to give away the ticket stub?
@@Achilleslastand Yep. This show. I can mail it to you.
@@markskyscraper8092 That would be awesome. Did YT take away the ability to send PM's? I would rather message you my address if it is possible, if not I will just post it here.

Shoutout to Hardee’s 🍔
Fkng amazing isaw this tour 7th row in Kansas city
Les claypool was at this concert! Before the Primus days he said this was his favorite concert ever
I've just realised that you can hear a sample of the chirping Welsh sparrows from Rockfield Studios at the start of Xanadu like on the record- wonder how they did that! This is an amazing concert! Also, how insanely impressive is the live version of Hemispheres Book II? Staggering piece of work!
lol. My dog jumped up and started looking around when that part came on.
The definitive La Villa Strangiato. Unmatched
👍🇨🇦❤I SAW RUSH OCT. 1978 IN GUELPH, ONTARIO, CANADA......FANTASTIC SHOW👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for posting this. I also have a copy. Great soundboard recording.
@Snowdog Where did you find this? Hemispheres is probably my favorite Rush album, even though I was only five years old when it came out. Believe it or not, I knew of a band in my hometown when I was in high school who could play Cygnus X-1 fairly flawlessly.

@@SnowdogPL Thanks so much for the link. OMG this is a great show! I saw KC Memorial Hall show a few weeks after this. I'm re-living the whole experience I had that night thanks to you sharing this excellent recording. Again, so many thanks!
RIP Neil Peart
It IS true what they say about Canadians being nice. Geddy was even polite as he was telling the crowd to back up. ...LOL
Excellent!!!
Wooww, that fucking show, hemispheres is phenomenal!! Greetings from mexico!!
Wow so clear. Thank you for posting🎶🎼😎🎼🎶
Dam, that is tight. Unreal
An oldie but a goodie. Every time I hear Hemispheres live though it's obvious Geddy struggled to sing it even back then. By the Permanent Waves tour they had already removed Dionysus and Armageddon. By the Moving Pictures tour they were only playing the Prelude.
It's very difficult to play such a complicated composition live. It is perfectly normal that in subsequent tours they resigned from individual parties "Hemispheres". It's completely normal. You can't blame them. There are such long songs that they did not play at all ("The Fountain of Lamneth"). It's good that they played a full set on the tour promoting this album.
@@SnowdogPL It is not a difficult piece to play live (I've played it for 25 years) - they simply shortened it to make room in the setlist for other songs. It's a repetitious piece of music and they felt it was a good compromise to shave a few minutes of it for the 1980 tour to make room for new long pieces Jacob's Ladder and Natural Science while keeping the back to back Cygnus X-1 songs in the set plus 2112 and Xanadu. That's a lot of long songs! Ironically the 2nd set of the R40 tour resembled a good chunk of the 1980 tour setlist. We are sure to get a full UK 1980 show multitrack with the 40th Anniversary Permanent Waves set in 2020 and will be the longest available version of Hemispheres that exists on a multitrack tape - so we'll have to enjoy it slightly shorter.
Its not that it was difficult to play. The legend goes, that they wrote the music FIRST! Then when Geddy started to sing it, he realized the key of side one was too high for him. Of course by this point it was too late, pre production, and all. Time is money. They had to muscle through the recording. This was a point in time where Geddy and Terry Brown were at serious odds. Geddy in one interview blames Terry for not saying anything about the vocals being out of range. The music is a masterpiece, and the tour great, but I have yet to hear a good vocal of Hemispheres side one live.
@@secretjourney4815 I think Geddy pretty much nails it here actually.
I just hit 5 months and 1 day in age when this show took place... I'm kinda hating myself right now knowing that I "could have" went
Amazing yes my favorite set list wish I was into them back then...I also didn't get into them till the 80s.....
This rocks !
Saw them in Phoenix in 1980
great time great band
Saw this tour, UFO opened what a concert.
❤❤❤❤❤
Change the opening timecode located in the description to 0:00, and then the tracks will show up in the progress bar.
GOOD GOD- THIS IS GOOD --- 1978- DESTROYING MOST BANDS -THROUGH ANY MUSICAL ERA- THEN GOING ON FOR ANOTHER 30 PLUS YEARS- DESTROYING MOST BANDS -THROUGH ANY ERA - HOW CAN ANYONE DISPUTE THEIR POSITION- IN MUSIC (AND IN MOUNT OLYMPUS)
I DON'T LIKE THE LINES THROUGH PARTS OF MY COMMENTS
15:40 🤔 later used for Cherub Rock/SP.(?), 2:45, Rush - the precision is Just: 🤯😁🔥👍🤎
Good luck finding this cd, wish i could.
I was in the Air force at Davis Monthon in 1978. I saw five Rush Concerts and nothing compared to their show. PS, before thc drug tests!
At the first playing of working man he calls the working man lerxst(love their nicknames soo much, you feel the love)
😎
Want this
Happy birthday Geddy
In a day and age when most touring musicians use autotune and lip sync, I give Geddy full credit for his vocal performance.
I would definitely like to make a comment
This sadly is better than what Rush gave us... they legit should have stolen this bootleg
Aint it the truth? Really Geddy?!?! Hemispheres live, and you dont add side one of hemispheres????????
Yeah, this could of made a great live album, imo. Along with Permanent Waves, they could release live albums from both tour.
28:45 "big bummer" comment
Is there anyway I could get this on vinyl?
2012 Rush concert: Okay everyone! Everybody got their water bottle caps! Okay! Let's go see Rush!
What's up with the flanger on the drum solo at the end? Maybe they did some trippy lights to go with it or something.
move back you hosers !
Would this be Rush at their peak? I would have to say if not it is close.
Was Fly By Night not out yet?
Rush played Tucson many times
