One thing to know about a Rush “solo” is that even when he’s playing keys, there’s always a point where Geddy jumps back on bass so he and Alex can get out front and jam like best buds. It’s definitely a repeated feature, and Geddy is usually shredding up some nasty counterpoint to whatever Alex is doing. Loving it, CB!
Bear in mind l, Geddy was playing bass, singing complicated lyrics, as well as playing keys and pedals. He looks like a wizard, because he is one! Just like Alex and Neil. Best band ever.
1st time listener, and I agree with EVERYTHING you've said, including the stuff about big pharma. I'm not a bass player, so I'll take your word on that 😊 Rush has been my favorite band since the late '70s, keep it up! You should also check out UFO, Supertramp, and Electric Light Orchestra!
The version from the live video show of hands is amazing and has a really cool intro, I actually wore out my CD from that concert every single song is amazing!!!
For some reason I've never fully understood, this album (Power Windows) has always been one of my top Rush albums. I never was a huge 80s music fan (tho I do love a lot of eclectic bands from that era), but the way they altered the classic "Rush" sound enough to be noticeably "80s" while still holding on to their musical roots always amazed me. Not to mention some of the best riffs, lyrics and themes are present on Power Windows. It was also one of my VERY first compact discs (relatively new music format in 1985) so maybe that influenced me as well?
I believe the riff you’re referring to is “Marathon.” That song is also from Power Windows with “The Big Money.” It’s in B as well, and Geddy worked out on a pentatonic groove throughout the verses. On this album, he played a Wal Mk-I with Rotosounds. Handmade basses from England, pretty rare to find these days and high dollar. But there’s a huge chance you can point to most any ‘80s rock song and find a Wal bass. Dire Straits is a good example. He was also running through an Ashley amp (not sure the model). He worked with this setup from 1985 to 1992.
Welcome to the Wal Mk1 era of Rush. Geddy loves his "string-pong" of bouncing across 1-5-7 patterns on two strings. The Wal bass just made it slap harder than anything. He didn't need to roll off the neck pickup , the Wal has the ability to get that tone with both PUPs on 10. Active electronics, push/pull EQ, and frequency scoops to drop mid-ranges. Plus light gauge strings. .35-90s, piano wound for even more pop.
One of the most underrated Rush song. This was new sound at the time but when you listen it’s literally a step up in the complexity of the song the way it was put together. Great reaction Rush forever ❤
I've always loved John Wetton's bass tone, especially during his King Crimson days. It has a very distinct deep guttural roar, with it's tonal range probably best showcased in Starless.
I really love Wettons bass playing on the three King Crimson albums he's on. I'm pretty sure he used a fuzz to get some of his sounds. My favorites with him are Fracture and One More Red Nightmare. His bass lines during the instrumental sections are very melodic and borderline hypnotizing. Starless is great, too, especially the power with which he plays in the closing minutes.
Love your reactions. Your ability to pick up your bass and show us what you are talking about is killer. There are so, so many great Rush songs, but listening to 2112 is what made me a fan for life! The Clockwork Angels album, sadly their last, might be my favorite. ❤️ from Florida!
Half, if not more, of the tone in Geddy’s bass comes from Geddy, and the way ye plays. Just like David Gilmour, or Jeff Beck. Geddy plucks his strings VERY hard. Much of his tone comes from himself, not his gear.
That opening blast by Alex is the best welcome to a live gig I can remember! Even better that they filmed the concert I heard it for the first time, and released that same gig on VHS.
Thanks for a great review. It’s always extra special to have a musician like yourself critique a song as you have a different perspective. Love the song. Love the band. Love the review. Thanks again!
As far as live shows this was probably one of my favorite eras because they just had something nobody else had. Plus I was a kid in my twenties just absolutely soaking these guys up they were so unique. Ended up following them hardcore all the way through the end. Countless shows and live was always just such a treat. Never disappointing. You got your bang for the buck no matter what the ticket price was. And actually it was always very reasonable for the times. They never got greedy. I remember when their first 3 hours set started with no opening act that ticket was 80 bucks. At the time the stones and Madonna were charging $300 for nosebleed
A couple other great Geddy bass songs from the same era are Marathon (from Power Windows) and Turn The Page (from Hold Your Fire.) Geddy's tone was very punchy and funky. Lots of people have already mention the Wal basses he's playing. And check out the live album A Show Of Hands that was recorded in mostly 1988 with a couple of songs recorded in 1986. There is a DVD of the album, too, recorded in Birmingham, U.K. in 1998 where we we to get Geddy play those parts, and sing. So awesome.
Great reaction! Don't forget...Geddy is singing while playing those awesome riffs. Sometimes, he's playing keys with his feet while singing and playing bass. It's mine blowing to me
YYZ? I am not ashamed to say that mid rush and on is my favorite. Grace Under Pressure and after. Hold Your Fire is probably my favorite album. But, my favorite Rush song is still The Camera Eye. if you want to see 10 minutes pass in the blink of an eye, watch still kickings fan version of that song. Also all of their other videos. They are awesome.
Me and my bros/bandmates had a Rush tribute band in the early 90's , and we called Geddy "Mr. Beckaduh" because of the sweet double finger picking "Becka-duh, Becka-duh". Good times man. Love your channel as always, I think we all wish you did more though!
The Necromancer is a must. It's a long one but I think you will love it and you won't be able to help yourself and pick up your bass. My favorite part of you videos. Don't stop brother.
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 big shout out to you first time on your reaction Channel first Getty's bass is a Rickenbacker he styled his music and the bass guitar itself from the late bass guitarist of yes second I am 67 years old I've listened to tons of music I dare say as good a three-piece ensemble as there is in any genre of anytime you have done very deep into a rabbit hole my brother hollaback
Geddy had became close friends with monster bassist Jeff Berlin, and Jeff’s influence is heard on this record. Plus, Geddy switched over to Wal basses at this time, and I thought the Wal sounded incredible.
He played a similar line in the song 'Marathon' from the same album which I believe you have reviewed. Wish i could jam with you. So, please accept my drumming admiration from afar - wherever you are! Love your take and seamless ability to pick up his lines as quickly as you do. At this time, he was playing a 'Wal' bass.
HI CBR!!! Glad your still doing your thing. I was hoping to watch you check out Neil Peart playing in the Buddie Rich tribute concert.....Glad to see any RUSH though...I'll keep sending you the Buddie Rich request and pray that you will check it out . I promise you will like it..God bless you and yours.
Possibly Marathon, which is really nice and funky driving bass line, also form Power Windows. Although not the same, there is a repeated section that is similar in its level of rockin' funkiness!
Thanks for doing this song. This is a great song from a great album. Yes, da bass rocks! Could the riff be similar to one from the Show Don’t Tell” reaction?
you got a good ear brother. as a fellow low ender, i appreciate that. and you are listening to probably the best rock low ender ever. even if it’s high end sometimes. i think the song your referring to this sounding similar to is, MARATHON. great channel. keep it up
You know, you could still be going crazy (or have already arrived at that particular destination), notwithstanding whether you were correct about Geddy's re-use of a base line (about which I am confident you were, indeed, correct!).
Thanks for the awesome reaction, but those bass lines!! You want more of that, look for the Clockwork Angels album and click on Headlong Flight (if you haven't yet). You'll love it.
Right on ! You should check out Black Sabbath - After Forever (1971) the guitarist Tony Iommi’s two middle finger tips were cut off accidently from work but he created roots of Rock and Metal genre from Jazz Rock to Doom Metal. This song is Doom Metal style. Great band ! (Some people say therye evil, no its the other way around).
The other song is Marathon and/or Territories which is on the same record (Power windows). Speaking of which, your nest reaction should be Middletown dreams on that same record !! Thank you bro!
I wish that your bass was louder. But I love how you can just pick up a bass rift and play it right from the start. One song Havona by Jaco Pastorius. Geddy is using a boutique bass made by Wal, they are custom-made and takes almost a year to procure in the five-digit price range.
Good call...I would love to see him react to "Havona"! Epic Monster bass playing by the immortal Jaco Pastorius. If your reading this Church Boy and you haven't yet listened to "Havona" by Weather Report...it's just a must hear song for every bass player period. It's on the album "Heavy Weather" by Weather Report. Check it! You will fall in love!
Someone else can comment on whether Geddy played this particular riff on another song, but he was using a Wal bass for the Power Windows album and it's got a distinct, punchy pop that's so different from the Fender/Rickenbacker (while still being entirely Geddy's sound). I can't remember if you've reacted to another Rush song that used the Wal - if you have, you may be recognizing the specific bass tone rather than the riff.
You are fantastic at picking up bass lines definitely a trained musician coming from another bass player here and also rush fan that tone your talking about is coming from a wahl bass very boutique English bass company they are phenomenal! Geddy used them quite a bit in the 80s there tone controls are odd instead of master tone you have low and high pass filters , another famous wahl user is Justin chancellor from tool
🤗 Thank you, thank you, thank you for not doing the annoying & very distracting video and for just 😍 reacting to the actual song, 🤭 the way we all did! 🥰🐰 PS: 😑 Still waiting in the wings to Riot if we don't get 'YYZ Live in Rio' reaction soon! 😒 Im serious yo......
Sometimes pushing people around Sometimes pulling out the rug Sometimes pushing all the buttons Sometimes pulling out the plug So cool so true…🤘🖖✌️🎸🎸🥁🎹🎤
PS - Important to remember that, certainly by this point in their careers (1985), Neil and the boys didn't preach with their lyrics. They weren't trying to make political statements so much as simply seeking to tell a story or express an idea that would have come to Neil. Put another way, the three of them were too intelligent and experienced in life, music, and business, to have clung to any specific ideology or all-encompassing theory. Neil would have just had a thought come to him about how - sometimes, in certain situations - big companies try to assert control over things, etc. So, please don't read too much into it.
Listening to these studio tracks on Spotify are MUCH higher quality than the file this random person uploaded to UA-cam. Spotify also displays a lyrics screen by pressing the microphone button in the bottom right corner, so you wouldn't be missing out on lyrics either. I would highly recommend it to appreciate the full quality of the audio engineering of these studio tracks. The live versions are the only thing I watch on UA-cam, or the officially uploaded studio tracks.
Your ability to pick up the bass and casually play a Rush bass line from ear will never not amaze me.
Seriously. He has an amazing ear for picking up the nuances...
Love that as well. Love someone who can REALLY appreciate who Geddy Lee really is. He knows....
🤯 Riiiiiight?!? 🥰🐰
One thing to know about a Rush “solo” is that even when he’s playing keys, there’s always a point where Geddy jumps back on bass so he and Alex can get out front and jam like best buds. It’s definitely a repeated feature, and Geddy is usually shredding up some nasty counterpoint to whatever Alex is doing. Loving it, CB!
that's one of my favorite moments to look for when watching concert videos. :)
Geddy always said when it came time for the guitar solo is when I had to get busy.
Bear in mind l, Geddy was playing bass, singing complicated lyrics, as well as playing keys and pedals. He looks like a wizard, because he is one! Just like Alex and Neil. Best band ever.
Bass used on this: WAL MK-I bass strung with Rotosound Funkmaster 66.
Light gauge strings too
One of my favorite Alex Lifeson solos… Geddy is non stop in this song, he and Neil arguably the best rhythm section in rock and roll
Whose arguing. Lol
Rush in Rio is a great version
Geddy's playing a lacquered Wahl bass, hand-built english guitar company. There's a similar bright 'twang ' on 'Territories ',from the same album
Wal
@@deanhomeinspectionservices523 congratulations, you are indeed the king of the internets...
Never mistake a wal bass tone, so unique
Maybe Marathon a little bit?
It might be Territories you heard a similar bass riff from Geddy. It’s on the same album. I think he used the Wal bass during recording. Cheers!
Power Windows was during his Wal phase, but I believe Geddy used a Stienberger on this track.
1st time listener, and I agree with EVERYTHING you've said, including the stuff about big pharma. I'm not a bass player, so I'll take your word on that 😊
Rush has been my favorite band since the late '70s, keep it up! You should also check out UFO, Supertramp, and Electric Light Orchestra!

You may be thinking Marathon on the bass part. I saw this tour and it was an amazing show! Loving your journey brother
I believe you are correct sir!! 🙌
How awesome that you attended this tour.. I was a wee 6th grader back then, yet to have discovered this legendary band.
Geddy used that riff in the song Marathon
That’s what I was thinking as well.

Manhattan Project is an amazing ballad piece and Territories is as relevant today as in 1985.

Boom!! Hell yeah!! Another Rush reaction from Church Boy!! I’m here for it!! 🔥 (Commenting before the song even starts.)
I think the song you're thinking about is possibly "Show, Don't Tell."
you will love the tone of (animate)🎶the boy inside of me🎶🎸🥁🎸 keep rockin,,,,🤘🤘🤘
Love your bass skills! I completely agree with your commentary and interpretation of the lyrics. Thanks for another Rush reaction. God Bless!
One of the most underrated Rush song. This was new sound at the time but when you listen it’s literally a step up in the complexity of the song the way it was put together. Great reaction Rush forever ❤

You should get yourself a copy of Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass.
Agree, and we should chip in to help him get it. 😀

I was at that concert in Birmingham, that became most of the 'A Show of Hands' VHS. The boys played a blinder that night. I'll take it to my grave 👍
If you want to see Geddy do a solo, watch the live version of Leave that thing alone. Neil has a great solo. Live in Frankfort.
Fabulous song! Just wish you had reacted to their official music video of this song. Alex in his powder blue suit and new wave hair! LOL
Yes, and the cringey animation 😆
@@RushFanatic87 Yup, that was the 80's LOL
@@RushFanatic87was groundbreaking at the time! Nostalgic for me!
Lol I prefer the record my eyes my eyes
@@robertboston7872 🤣
Great reaction! Don't forget...Geddy is singing while playing those awesome riffs. Sometimes, he's playing keys with his feet while singing and playing bass. It's mine blowing to me
AND, it's not like Rush has the easiest lyrics to remember, let alone to sing! Incredible!!
YYZ?

Could the song be ''Show Don't Tell''?
Oooo, yes perhaps! That opening riff! I was rackin’ my brain, but I think you may have nailed it. 👍 Let’s see what others think…
Another commenter suggested “Marathon”, which I believe is the actual correct answer after all. (That baseline during the verses.)
@@johnanderson290 Haha! Nice one. 'Marathon' sounds good to me!!
Yes
Me and my bros/bandmates had a Rush tribute band in the early 90's , and we called Geddy "Mr. Beckaduh" because of the sweet double finger picking "Becka-duh, Becka-duh". Good times man. Love your channel as always, I think we all wish you did more though!
Watch the video - early to mid 80's Rush was a radio-friendly powerhouse - nobody packed more into a 4 min. song - brilliant songwriting/performance -
Hey Church Boy, it's quite possible Geddy would agree to an interview with you - he's a super nice guy. I'd really love to see you talk shop with him.
Love your reactions man! If you liked this one you'll definitely enjoy "Turn The Page", another killer bass line from Geddy.
The Necromancer is a must. It's a long one but I think you will love it and you won't be able to help yourself and pick up your bass. My favorite part of you videos. Don't stop brother.

"Rolled-back bass lines" is where it's at for sure homie. Nassssty

I believe in the studio he records with his Jazz bass.
Thanks for doing this song. This is a great song from a great album. Yes, da bass rocks!
Could the riff be similar to one from the Show Don’t Tell” reaction?
Territories or Marathon from the same album Power Windows have similar riffs.
Hey Church thanks for all you do with your reactions, especially when it comes to my favorite band of all time. Nice reaction.

Once again, CB,you're on fire 🔥 the reaction is awesome as always...thanks, Todd from Ohio...
The verse bassline is pretty similar to turn the page but a lot of the basslines on power windows and hold your fire all kind of have the same vibe.
Territories is the song you’re probably thinking of with the bass line.
you are preaching my brother
Thanks for the awesome reaction, but those bass lines!! You want more of that, look for the Clockwork Angels album and click on Headlong Flight (if you haven't yet). You'll love it.
Right on !

Much respect my man , this is one of their greatest songs in my opinion. Top to bottom excellent
more rush
Yes please😊

Love your videos
I wish that your bass was louder. But I love how you can just pick up a bass rift and play it right from the start.
One song Havona by Jaco Pastorius.
Geddy is using a boutique bass made by Wal, they are custom-made and takes almost a year to procure in the five-digit price range.
Good call...I would love to see him react to "Havona"! Epic Monster bass playing by the immortal Jaco Pastorius. If your reading this Church Boy and you haven't yet listened to "Havona" by Weather Report...it's just a must hear song for every bass player period. It's on the album "Heavy Weather" by Weather Report. Check it! You will fall in love!
War in paradise, biblical.
I really enjoy your videos... I think you would like a band called Primus, maybe "Jerry was a racecar driver "😊
Well done my friend!
Best reaction guru out there!!!! God bless you and yours :)
Another SicGeddy Lee Bass groove in Headlong Flight
👍One of my favs
Someone else can comment on whether Geddy played this particular riff on another song, but he was using a Wal bass for the Power Windows album and it's got a distinct, punchy pop that's so different from the Fender/Rickenbacker (while still being entirely Geddy's sound). I can't remember if you've reacted to another Rush song that used the Wal - if you have, you may be recognizing the specific bass tone rather than the riff.
Yesss! As another commenter mentioned, “Marathon” must be the song Church Boy is thinking of.
Agreed
You're talking about Marathon, it's from the same album and I was the one who made the recommendation for that song! Great reaction man!
This song is so eighties!
I love it ❤
You are thinking of the killer bass line in Territories…
Very nice God bless
I think you are referring to Territories, when you're talking about Geddy's thumping the bass.
Am I right?
Right on!
You need to do “fear” by rush! The weapon, witch hunt, the enemy within!!!
LONG LIVE RUSH
Indeed
I hope soon you get to Cygnus X-1 from their album “A Farewell To Kings”. Great bass tone
It May have been mentioned but I this the song you’re thinking of with that bass lick is territories. From the same album.
Please do Secret Touch next it's off the Vapor Trails album. A controversial Rush album for odd reasons lol but to me one of their best albums
If I remember right, Geddy was a big fan of Chris Squire from Yes, who played a Richenbocker bass with a pick, very aggressive, midrange sound.
Geddy wasn't aware Chris used a pick until years later. He developed his early tone/style trying to replicate that sound...
It was in “Territories”
Geddy is at another level. Well it's (RUSH). Church Boy Reaction. You should react to Loosing It. Very deep. The Lyrics are typical Neil.
"Mystic Rhythms " is on the same album and is also a good listen.
That bass riff that you are talking about is similar to the one in Territories.
You are fantastic at picking up bass lines definitely a trained musician coming from another bass player here and also rush fan that tone your talking about is coming from a wahl bass very boutique English bass company they are phenomenal! Geddy used them quite a bit in the 80s there tone controls are odd instead of master tone you have low and high pass filters , another famous wahl user is Justin chancellor from tool
🤗 Thank you, thank you, thank you for not doing the annoying & very distracting video and for just 😍 reacting to the actual song, 🤭 the way we all did! 🥰🐰
PS: 😑 Still waiting in the wings to Riot if we don't get 'YYZ Live in Rio' reaction soon! 😒 Im serious yo......
Sometimes pushing people around
Sometimes pulling out the rug
Sometimes pushing all the buttons
Sometimes pulling out the plug
So cool so true…🤘🖖✌️🎸🎸🥁🎹🎤
I think it was the song “Marathon” from the same album
I think you're talking Territory's - same album
Watch that head and ass start goin when the Wal bass kicks in 😂
Geddy uses his middle finger like a pick and he plucks up hear the bridge
So, a great way to get some of Geddy’s tone is his YYZ pedal… I know my kid likes his.
Often times, rushes lyrics makes you think
Nice reaction...waiting patiently for Red Barchetta...
Red Barchetta live. Classic
PS - Important to remember that, certainly by this point in their careers (1985), Neil and the boys didn't preach with their lyrics. They weren't trying to make political statements so much as simply seeking to tell a story or express an idea that would have come to Neil.
Put another way, the three of them were too intelligent and experienced in life, music, and business, to have clung to any specific ideology or all-encompassing theory.
