Just three Canada boys in their late fifties, showing the world how to properly end a three hour show!
Damn straight !!!
FYI...This song is 50 years old.
And I'm old enough to remember when it was new..!
DECADES of Rush - and just so blessed to have been along for the ride!

🤘👹🤘
@@roblaw4554 Yes sir, I hear you. September 2, 1979, Varsity Stadium, Toronto. Permanent Waves warm up tour. Four months before the album release. I was 13 and this was my first real concert. I had already been a fan since the first album. A huge part of my youth and a big influence on me becoming a musician.
@michaelj3414
'74, Chicago, Aragon Ballroom, 12yo. What a great experience!
Yep....my journey started about then and I was 14. I seen the Farwell to Kings tour in 77. It's amazing how good they were for so long.
I remember the day back in '74 when me & a couple bud's first heard "Working Man" on the radio. We were cruising around in my '69 Camero listening to Cleveland's classic rock station WMMS when the DJ dropped the needle on "Working Man" for the first time. Even though we didn't know who the tune was by at the time, we really didn't GAS either, we were hooked & cranked it up. The reason I'll never forget that day besides it being our first introduction to RUSH. Is it was also the day I got my first speeding ticket by having the pedal to the metal while rockin' out to RUSH no bout a doubt it. 😁 +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friends+ 🤘😜🤘
3 virtuosos in one band. 3 best friends in one band. 3 of the nicest people in one band.
I grew up in a town outside Toronto and they lived in the next town and we were playing in the park and heard music coming from the factories and we climbed on the dumpsters to watch in the window and saw them rocking out making the most impressive sounds we had ever heard . They saw us and came out and talked to us about hockey ( cause that's what we Canadians do 😂) we talked about the music they were recording and their cars. Geddy and Alex gave us guitar picks and Neil gave us drumsticks they were so down to earth and humble and when I was older I saw them twice live in 88 and 03 the second time was in front of 500,000 crazy Canadians at the SARS relief concert it was Epic to say the least. Peace out ✌️ ☮️
This is flat out one of the greatest performances ever. Alex is absolutely shredding on this.
That one part where he squares off with Getty,,,,,,, both hands are over the pick ups,.
He isn't even on the fret board anymore.
Blistering jam.
That’s how they ended 2 1/2 show with a 30-song set list! Can you imagine still having the energy to shred like that? Amazing!
Cleveland is a very special place for Rush and this song "Working Man" in particular. A local radio DJ, Donna Halpern, was the person to play Rush on the radio in the USA.
She dropped the needle on this song and the journey began! Many people called the radio station asking if it was a new Led Zeppelin song.
You forgot to mention ALEX EFFIN SHREDDING THAT GUITAR TO PIECES!
Three geniuses in one band!
They have been playing this song since 1974. The reggae beginning was a later change up. The original was straight rock.
Alex and Geddy are 58 here and Neil is 59 and they had just finished a crazy good rendition of La Villa Strangiato before this song. That's how you end a concert.😊 fun fact during the reggae section of the song the stage lights are red, yellow and green to represent Canada and Jamaica.
So glad you liked it ! Geddy Lee is renowned as one of the best bass players in history and the fact he sings melodic songs while playing complicated bass is even more impressive and this coming from a fellow bass player playing and singing is not easy especially bass and singing cause they usually go two different ways Rush is also renowned as one of the greatest and technically proficient bands ever , sooo many bands were inspired by them tool , Metallica , Primus, just to name a few
Not to mention Geddy and Alex bith use pedals and Geddy also does synths and keyboards. Alex does backing vocals too. All of them do so much at once. Being able to multitask differing rhythms and tones like that is extremely difficult. As a pianist it's hard enough to control your hands differently.
Bass player, Drummer and GUITARIST went crazy. Alex Lifeson...totally underrated. Best band ever - in my opinion as well. Great reaction pick, Jay.
Next up, La Villa Strangiato live ua-cam.com/video/Z3zlRdksakI/v-deo.html
Yes... the 2011 Cleveland Time Machine tour La Villa Strangiato is my favorite LIVE performance by Rush. They performed this right before closing with Working Man. Both EPIC live performances. Pure musicianship!!!!
your reaction is incredible. THANK YOU SIR.
You just witnessed 3 solos in one.
No computer wizardry, no overdubs, no autotune, just raw talent.
As far as band instrumentals go, this is the gold standard for individual musicianship in one jam. You wont find many 3 piece bands playing to this level at such a blistering pace and most of it probably improvised on the fly. Spectacular is an understatement.
I can't think of anything better than jamming with your best friends for 50 years and knowing all of you are musical geniuses.
We were in the 7th row center that night. It was my sons 21st birthday so we were all out celebrating. What a show! I was fortunate enough to see them 37 times since 1981.
Check out the live version of the song 'Xanadu' from Montreal 1981 when Rush were actually at the peak of their power, this is the most jaw-dropping epic live footage of Rush for sure.
You truly wanna hear the greatest rock song of its time, check out 2112 the comic book version
23 min of pure greatness, the drumming, the insane guitar work, the base lines and Geddy’s vocals!!
Lil back story, Rush was told by their label to stop writing 8,10 an 12 min songs or it was their last album, so their fuck you to the label was the first song from the titled album 2112
A 23 min rock opera story about a utopian planet where a guy finds a guitar and wants the high priests to hear him…. It will blow your mind
You got that right, "Greatest Band Ever"
May I humbly request "Best Intro Ever" leading into Spirit of Radio. Natural science as well.
Yes!
Check out their live Snakes & Arrows tour… Malignant Narcissism set with a drum solo by Neil Peart that had the crowd silent in awe absolute awe for what they were witnessing with this incredible drummer making his magic 🔥🥁💥🔥🥁💥☮️
Peart is the best rock drummer ever!!
Lead singer Geddy playing bass.
Peart destroying a massive kit.
Lifeson working lead guitar.
All meshing so well.
They were humble, and worked as a team including all of their support crew.
Proudy Canadian and represented us well.
They headlined a massive benefit concert at the end of the SARS pandemic with an estimated 500,000 people in attendance.
This is what happens when you take 3 of the greatest musicians to ever live and let all three of them solo at the same time. It is absolutely mental. I wish I could have been there. Alex absolutely murdered that guitar. And he did so while looking extremely calm and relaxed like it was just a regular old jam session. Neil was all over the place on that ending. And Geddy just never slows down. All 3 over 50 and they play this at the end of a 3 hour concert. Professionalism and a live of what they do and each other.
Glad I got my 14 concerts going back to ‘82. Miss these shows!!
Those days are a little hazy but I think I saw them 4 times. Maybe 5.
I did get a drumstick. It's a prized possession.
Saw them live in 80 and I could not believe how tight they were, especially for only three member. Still the best concert I have ever seen.
Instant Rush fan from that moment on
Best group ever. Couldn't agree more!!
I was lucky enough to be at that show, my head nearly exploded! This song is from their first album, Neil joined the group on their second one. He definitely puts his spin on this track. A lot of people thought this was Led Zeppelin when they first heard it on the radio.
Try Headlong Flight next
This was the song that brought them widespread fame. And a Cleveland radio station played it. The DJ wanted a longer track for a potty break and put it on. Came back to an off the hook phone asking when this new Zepplin song would be out. And RUSH became an instant hit. So they always pull out the stops when playing there. They have a deep appreciation of the town which is very much a working man town.
Man I wish I could go to another rush concert with all the new fans
This was a great performance. N9 doubt! I love how they began with a reggae styling (not the original version) and then abruptly switched over to the pure rock version. To shred like that at their age? Damn!! I'm glad you liked it. I enjoyed your reaction.
Rush is amazing! If you haven't already reacted to it, I suggest checking out 'Freewill' Live from the Time Machine tour.
Another interesting fact for you is that the song Working Man was the song played on WMMS radio in Cleveland for the first time in 1974. This was there break out song to get a record deal in the United States with Mercury Records, this was made possible by DJ Donna Harper at WMMS Cleveland. Once the record deal was signed, if they went to tour the US.
My first concert was Rush in 1978. It was incredible. No FX, just lights and genius.
Their concerts were epic! Saw them many times light music it was all so amazing! Iam 50 and wish I had saw them more I had the chances to! Getting old sucks! God rest Neil’s soul
One of the best live shows ever
I remember hearing this song being played on the loud sound system at my local video arcade-- when I was a freshman in high school... what, maybe I was about 14 years old. This song changed my life.
This was their BREAKOUT in AMERICA - in 1974
I love it when Rush does a band solo lol. I miss them RIP Neal
The first concert I ever went to was in 1981, I was 13 and RUSH was the band. Been a fan ever since. This performance is off the charts!! They just kept getting better and better at performing as they aged. Great reaction. BTW, I just recently seen another reactor who plays a 5-string bass in a church group. I was blown away bc I had no idea there was anything other than a 4-string. That's called older person blinders, I guess. I have no idea when they started being used, especially mainstream, like you stated they are. The person that came at you was obviously wrong, but if they're anywhere near my age, they are most likely not alone. If one is not into modern music, there's no way to know what's being used. 4-string bass has been in use for decades and decades. I recently saw this chick online playing a guitar that had like 20 strings. Shit was ridiculous but she was slamming it! Peace
My 1st was 1981 in Dallas & I was 14! My friend's stayed in line all night to get tickets & got us 2nd row right in front of Alex. $10. Best concert ever!
I'm glad you found Rush. I've been listening to them and seeing them live since the first LP and they have quite the library for you to go through. What a great, great band! Please keep posting Rush!!
Best version of this song. Yes, "only 3 of them". They did it LIVE!!! I was graced to see them live 1st in 1977 and last in 2014 with my 16 year old son. He turned to me at one time hugged me and thanked me. I am sure that concert meant more to me than the others.
The section that they played at the end is the beginning of Cygnus X-1, an epic 30-minute masterpiece that starts as the closing track on their 1977 album A Farewell To Kings and continues as the opening track on their 1978 album Hemispheres. Cheers from Toronto!
🎤 🎸 🥁 🎸 🔥 🔥 🔥
😮 yeah they call him the working man! He worked that bass like it owed him some money!😅😅😅
Dude! 2112. It will blow your mind.
🤗 Yaaaas! Working Man Live! 😁🥰🐰
Three all-time greats!
You should watch Rush 2112 live 1997 all 7 parts . Best 20 minutes of your life.😊😊😊
I just freaking love watching this young man groove on shyte I grew up on...me goin' to be 70 in September. Seen Rush 4 times...three in the Tacoma Dome in the '80's...once when some douche bag set of some sort of pyrotechnics device that caught the flippin roof on fire...or maybe it was the Professor beatin' the hell outta that drum set...who knows?
Anyway, I enjoyed my little walk down memory lane. Thanks, JayT!
Neil’s fist pumps at the end made me jump out of my chair bro. I forgot.. Thank you ❤️
“I am sure they have some other good stuff “. Massive understatement.
Loved your reaction
Cleveland radio is where they got their break. With this early song done before Peart joined the band. Originally very hard rock, no reggae. This was done deep into their career. Working Man and 2112 were the main attraction of old Rush freaks like me. Geddy and Alex were friends since junior high. They are both children of holocaust survivors. The three have been noted for their extreme work ethic.
I give credit to this song for keeping me half sane for the god-awful 3 1/2 years in Hawaii.
NOT an 808 fan.🤬
A band that played at a nearby bar/nightclub would play this and nail it. Giving me a reason to live. When they saw me roll in, they knew they were going to be "Working Men".
RIP Neil.😇
JTD, this is how they end a show. Now you must watch/listen to how they BEGIN the show! Check out "Best Intro Ever" by Rush, live!
It's a 40 yr "Rabbit Hole" of the best you'll hear from "3" Canadian Brothers endless.
You HAVE to watch Xanadu live from Exit Stage Left 1981. Damn 3 piece orchestra. You won't be disappointed
This was probably my favourite concert, which I think I saw in Hamilton (about 30 miles from Toronto). Still incredible to think that they were - by then - in their mid 50’s and had already performed for almost 3 hours by that point.
The best part about Rush, is that no one cooks. They all bake together. Edit: and thanks to you, we all get to taste this together.
Cleveland was where Rush got their first big break with this song - so this song and city are a special combination.
My favorite Rush jam song
Xanadu, exit stage left live, 1981 - enjoy, and hang on...
Their first hit (one of my favorites since first listen) and their last ever played live. R.I.P. Neil we love you
You pause it whenever you want Were here to see your reaction We have heard it hundreds of times..
That's as right as it gets!
By far, favorite live song, like...ever.
This was one of the last shows RUSH did!! Best Prog-Rock live band ever!! RIP Neal Peart (The Professor)
Guy from Baby Metal and Asterism play 8 strings. This song was popular with DJ's when it came out back in the 70's.
Great reaction JT!! Dude, you MUST react to "Xanadu" LIVE from "Exit, Stage Left" 1981!!! It will blow you away!! You will witness Geddy playing Bass, while singing, while playing Keyboards WITH HIS FEET! At the same time!!! And the Professor, taking it to a whole next level!! PLEASE!!..
You just Witnessed the Greatest DRUMMER to Ever Live.......
Speaking of bases, have you seen Geddy’s Big Book of Base? It’s an awesome coffee table book with stories about each base featured.
i need that
This is one of those times where all three of them were basically soloing at once 😂
I love seeing someone SERIOUSLY into music discovering...new (to them) music 🙂
RUSH ROCKS!!!!
Neal is the greatest drummer ever I had the privilege to do a clinic in the 80s with him I could only imagine being that spectacular
YAY! So glad you've reacted to this one! You're coming along with the rest of us down the Rush rabbit hole! Now, how about La Villa Strangiato?
Camera Eye Live
GOD Level Talent
From their first album, my favorite album. And this Drummer wasn't even in the band yet
What Alex did to that guitar is outlawed in at least 40 states.
Really like this review, great reaction, more Rush please!😊
This song is what broke the US market open for them. Up until this, they weren't really known of Stateside, but a lucky break by a DJ that played this on the air led to them getting noticed. You should learn a bit of Rush history with this one and go back and listen to the studio track, because The Professor is not the original drummer for this hit. That honor belongs to John Rutsey, who, due to health reasons, had to exit the band after the first record was cut. He was unable to tour with them to promote their first album, and thus, Neil Peart joined. The lyrics for Working Man were penned by Geddy Lee, and he and Alex are credited with the songwriting. A final note about the song...the beginning section on the original wasn't the reggae inspired version you hear with this one. The original is a pure prog rock masterpiece.

JayT I Seen Rush live 9 Times I’m
So Glad You Like Rush Wish You Could have seen them In There Prime Amazing
Fun thing about this video of this song is you don't know which will melt first: your eyeballs or your eardrums.
A good showcase of how good they are .. glad you enjoyed it
There’s a whole video on the Professor’s setup man putting the drum kit together - check it out!
Three 55 year old Musicians killing it at the end of a 3 hour concert
Best band EVER!!
Alex and Geddy sped up the song fucking with Neal , that's why at the end he balled up his fists and growled .
Okay thanks for the reply. We had the original pressing when I was a kid in 70’s Ontario. We didn’t have internet to clarify such details but that was the story at the time….M
Classic. Checkout 2112 and Subdivisions live. Love the reggae opening to this one. They don’t make em like this anymore.
seen them twice what a show
First LP. An ENTIRELY different album than any after that first album. That album was BP (Before Peart) Working Man and Finding My Way both golden. You need to hear the original versions.
Crazy performance
Great reaction. I regret not seeing them more than the 5 times I did.
Great reaction.
Genius at work there.
Bro if we where friends I would have taken you to one of these concerts and showed you what perfection looked like
If you want another three-piece band with an unbelievable bass player, check out the Winery Dogs, Oblivion.
I never get enough of listening to RUSH! Watch any of the posted concert videos and you dont want to stop listening to the music that these 3 very talented men gave to us
