    Saw this tour in NJ when I was 10, 16th row. Couldn't see all over the sweaty men so the security let me and my little brother stand in the isle and watch the show. I absolutely could not believe how close Alex Lifeson was to me, one of the most impactful nights of my entire life. Been playing guitar for 13 years now thanks to these 3 guys. Best band of all time

    It amazes me how well Geddy can still get up there. His voice has a different tone with age, sure, but he still really nails those notes, it's so satisfying. (By the way, if you want a speed closer to the original studio recording, put it on custom speed 1.1.)

    • @canislupis3129

      Austin; I’m a bit of an old geezer, I started out with Rush while in high school - from the beginning and have gone to zillions of shows - can you explain a bit more detail about ‘put it on custom speed 1.1 ‘ please? I have a ‘Rush’ coat I made myself back when, but I still think it’s pretty good. Rush had a really good ‘do rag’ ? I don’t know what you call it, from ‘Test For Echo’ that is square when unfolded flat. I had that put on the back of my coat just below big lettering ‘Rocinante’ and some other stuff, but I’ve found that it is usually only real good Rush fans knows what ‘ROCINANTE’ means.

    Geddy may mostly record with a jazz bass but live, the Rickenbacker just sounds so right.

    • @topmex
      @topmex 9 років тому +21

      back in the day he mainly used Rickenbacker, it has just a little better tone I think.

    • @dylpik4374

    • @LJuutilainen
      @LJuutilainen 9 років тому +17

      Dylan Sikinger He did. Geddy used Rickenbacker from Fly by Night to Permanent Waves. He began playing Jazz basses on Moving Pictures, but continued to record also with Rickenbacker until Grace Under Pressure.

      +Rich Vee for this song anyways, i own a rick myself and a j-bass and im finding myself just playing my j-bass most of the time, the maintenance you have to put on ricky's are such a chore, they sound great though, sometimes. most importantly though they look cool.

    To the Peart family, Geddy and Alex, and all the Rush fans....It goes without saying what sad news, this, of Neil's passing.
    Not only did he seem a very affable guy in interviews, but the dedication to his craft was abundantly evident. He will live on in our memories as one of the best. On top of that, what a prolific lyricist! This song, amongst so many, was nothing short of brilliant.
    RIP Neil.

      Yep. And the only song about drugs they have. No songs about sex and all that shit!!, One of the things that make them Geniuses. I have been going to their concerts since 1976. I saw them do this song live back then. They still have the same energy, but it has mellowed and refined with age. Like good wine. They are the best, truly.

      no, Brett, it si all about the weed. Our first stop is in Bogota, to check the Colombian fields. Back when they wrote this song, the most popular type of weed was Colombian gold( IF ONLY I COULD STILL GET THAT SHIT< WOW), it looked like hay, but is got you so frikkin stoned. I know I was there. 1976 baby. Thailand express was in refernce to thai stick. That shit FUCK ME!!. there is one referent to hash, but all those others were popular weeds that you could get, mostly in Cal. I didn't here about the stop in Afghanistan, that would be opium young Jedi.

    Distorting the treble without compression while keeping the low end
    clean with compression, as heard here by Geddy, is the key to having that bass tone
    so defined that a rhythm guitarist is not needed to fill the missing
    frequencies. Chris Squire, John Entwistle and Doug Pinnick use(d) this
    method as well. That is my their bass covers the frequency spectrum with
    solid low end, slicing and dicing treble and just the right amount of
    mids!
