Geddy once said that hearing the audience sing Closer to the Heart back to them was spine-tingling to the whole band, which goes to show how much mutual respect there was between fans & artists, love you reactions & awe of their talent
They are a National treasure in Canada and America. They are much beloved by their fans and their peers.
Great react, guys! Try next "Red Barchetta", off the same concert! (Exit stage left 1981)
You might enjoy watching 'Dinner with Rush' on UA-cam. The guys met up for dinner at the Saddle Peak Lodge and it was recorded. Highly recommended.
Order of Canada

(blah blah blah) rock hall of fame

Still gaining new fans like you every day.
That’s Rush.
One of the best ever.
I'm from Canada 🇨🇦 and RUSH were huge here. I saw them many times in concert. Fantastic! Definitely a National treasure ❤
Andre & Dominica
Love the channel, and I’m really enjoying seeing you two discover Rush and become as obsessed with them as the rest of us.
If you can find the time and want to delve a little deeper into the band and their history, I’d highly recommend you check out their video ‘Rush - Beyond the Lighted Stage’. It begins with the origins of the group and how they started out, and then goes on to document them getting in The Professor, and then on to their eventual take-over of the world! I think you’d enjoy it.
Keep up the good work!
Rush came to my hometown, in Indiana, many times as they were located in Toronto, CA not far from us for a band to come to play. I first saw them in 1977 and went to their concerts every time thereafter. Such a good band and people. I wish you good folks could have seen them live at a concert. I appreciate your wonderful reactions. :)
More Rush….excellent 👍
The joy on your faces makes me happy.
effervescence. 'eh fur vessense'. Love you guys. Love Rush. :)
Canadian here, growing up in the 80's 90's, Rush was _the_ soundtrack of life.
You should do “Natural Science” by RUSH. The live version from the Test For Echo tour. It’s truly amazing.
Ja Freunde, hopefully you get eventually to Rush "Witch Hunt". Talk about relevant lyrics. Dank folks..
You both are beautiful! Thank you for being good people in these trying times!❤❤
I highly recommend Xanadu live. It's fantastic. Great reactions ✌️❤️🇨🇦
🤗 Yaaaaaaas! 😊 I wore this 45' out when it was released! 🥰🐰
I'd say Rush is a national treasure. They have been honoured in Canada's walk of fame, music hall of fame but their highest honour imo is the Order of Canada. Which is the highest honour issued to a civilian.
Rush were never a radio friendly band in their early years, due to length of song (not very radio friendly) and style of genre (not very mainstream).. Rush's popularity as a band was mostly obtained by word of mouth and their fans vs the various publications most bands relied on to get exposure. Rush during their early years mostly got negative press vs anything good to say about the band. During the late 70's and early 80's Rush started to move away from the long story telling songs and started to consolidate the elements of prog into a smaller package. These songs could vary from 4 to 7 mins and therefore a bit more radio friendly. However, I feel due to bad press in their early years, Rush's reputation followed them into the 80's and beyond even thought many of their 80's songs were very favourable for radio play. Having said that, Rush imo is the most popular "band" to come out of Canada. Other musical Canadian artists may have obtained more fame because their music was more mainstream/popular but imo Rush smokes em all.
Thank you for loving our national treasures! ❤️🇨🇦❤️ When I was a young child, my father invited me to go to a drummers house. He plays in a band, and I was very into music for my 9 yrs. I said no and regretted it for life. That drummer was Neil Peart. RIP to the Legend. ❤
regret and too late... an imperfect combination;)
Alex, Geddy and Neil have blessed the Universe.
"Closer to their pocket" Truth!!
Love you guys.
Absolutely Rush are beloved in Canada. Neil Pert their drummer also wrote all their lyrics as well. Sadly Neil passed away a few years ago from a brain tumour. R.I.P. Neil, my favourite song of theirs is “ Spirit of Radio “ and if you really like drums “ Neil Peart’s drum solo in Frankfort. All of them very down to earth guys…..no big egos 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great song
Im ali from iran.i love both of you and your emotional reaction ❤
I'm Canadian! ❤ Rush is my favorite band I have seen them live 4 times and each time was better than the last! 😊❤ Love your reactions! Thanks so much 😊
How 3 guys can create such sonic beauty always mesmerizes me
I am Canadian and Rush was big in Canada for sure. Had the privilege to see them live and it was outstanding. How three guys to make so much music by using their feet as well as their hands was something to see.
I remember that song GREAT WHITE NORTH they did with “Bob and Doug”
Great song to start a great album by a great band. thankyou guys.
I’ve seen Rush probably at least 8 times in concert, always a blast 😎
I love how the both of you are just kicking it out with the greatness of this band and this song is such an epic jam. For these three men to have blessed all of humanity with this caliber of talent is plain good for the soul. Please take a listen to songs Making Memories and Lessons from their Fly By Night album. Hidden gems these songs are. Love your reactions and your span of music tastes.
I always enjoy your Rush reactions. Thank you!
This song was the single released off the album and reached the dizzy heights of No. 36 in the UK charts!
Rush were known and appreciated in Canada initially as a concert draw, but they weren't radio friendly enough for mainstream success. But this video was from tbe Moving Pictures tour in 1982, and by this time they were charting with Tom Sawyer, Limelight and The Spirit of Radio, and the success of both albums, Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures placed tbem at the very top in North America and the UK. They were shoulder to shoulder with Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne and ACDC in the early 80s.
Great song with a great meaning. I would say do Red Barchetta from the same concert.
Dinner with Rush would be one I think you would enjoy. Three close friends having a "business meeting " where the wine and the jokes were flowing.
Cheers
Love the song and your baby in the background 🐶🇨🇦
Canadian here...
Huge Rush fan going back to the late 70's ( I'm 55 ). Rush are definitely considered rock royalty up here. Even people who aren't fans of the music recognize their incredible musicianship and they are a huge source of pride for many of us.
I've seen them 13 times, all in Toronto (their hometown), every show they put on was outstanding regardless of the venue.
It's such fun seeing you guys, and other reactors, hear and see them play. I highly HIGHLY suggest you guys try and watch and react to the excellent documentary Rush Beyond The Lighted Stage sometime. A great look at their career from early days until 2010ish.
You will love them even more seeing this film for many reasons.
Nice reaction... please do the song Red Barchetta from their R30 official concert film!
the harp twins do a nice harp cover of closer to the heart👍👍♥♥♥
Don't think I missed a concert of theirs passing through Indianapolis from the mid 70's till 1981. Love all your reactions. I would love you to watch Neil Pearts drum solo in Frankfort. In my opinion, the greatest drummer ever.
Saw them on this tour in London 1981 and it still is the greatest gig I've ever seen, and I've seen plenty....quite simply three geniuses at the peak of their creativity and masters of their art.
I think "effervescent" was the word you were looking for. 😉
It is always a valid way to react, to read and digest the lyrics ahead of the reaction to the music. Some like to react totally cold, with no research or without reading the lyrics and that is fine too. Just different methods and different styles of reactions. I think with Rush trying to get an understanding and appreciation of both the lyrics and the music on a cold listen is a bit difficult. Love your reactions and hope you always feel free to do these reactions in whatever way works best for you. Feel free to read the lyrics first so they aren’t distracting from the rest of what’s happening in the music. Great job you two! 😎
Rush was big (and still is) in Canada. They were on rock stations all the time by the end of the 70's up to the mid 90's. But they sold more records outside Canada (population is only about 35M). Andrei, the word is effervescent!
Effervescent in English, effervescent en français. Salut François!
"Closer to their pockets" LOL! that's got Weird Al written all over it.
I don’t usually don’t devote much attention to the bass, but Geddy MAKES me listen… and it’s wonderful
I remember when the live album 'Exit Stage Left' was first released I was slightly disappointed with the mix thinking that the guitar was hidden somewhat by the bass & drums. Pretty soon though I completely changed my mind & I think the live versions of these songs are the best. Geddy's bass & vocals are outstanding & the whole band are just so tight. I still listen regularly to this album. Great review as always.
Closer to the heart l998 version live is the best 👌 👍
Andre & Dominica, Rush is treasured in Canada and all around the world. Rush has millions of loyal fans. I've been a Rush fan since 1978. I saw them 5 times. Lisa Harrison suggested you react to "Natural Science" 1997 Test for Echo tour. I agree. It's my favorite Live song. Other songs "Jacob's Ladder" R40 tour 2015 Live and "The Garden" Clockwork Angels tour 2011 Live.
I THINK WAS THE FIRST SONG I HEARD FROM RUSH BACK IN THE LATE 70S!!!!!YES THEY WERE AND STILL ARE!!!
3:46 same, fellow traveler, same 🤘🏼❤️💯
RUSH has always been big in Canada, however because of radio restrictions at that time, they spent most of their earlier career in Europe
Hey guys, I saw RUSH in 1988,(power windows tour)✌, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Best live rock band ever!!
If it was 1988, it was the Hold Your Fire tour. :-)
@@lewisbernstein4272 Sorry my friend it was a long time ago, must have been 1987?
Effervescent. That's the word, and the right meaning. ❤🇨🇦
Ironically, this is one of the rare occasions no member of Rush actually write the lyrics to the song!
Neil and Peter Talbot both wrote the lyrics. Peter was a friend of Neil’s.
What a lovely review of the amazingly talented Eva Cassidy👌i remember hearing her music for the first time on Terry wogan"s breakfast show (radio2), must of been early 90's just after she passed. He was solely responsible in the UK for promoting her music, he knew class when he heard it, R.I.P Eva & Terry❤
The Trees
Try "Nobody's Hero" by Rush to hear a different side to them. I wouldn't recommend the live or the official video for a reaction. Try to find a lyrics video to get the true meaning of the song. Thank you.
The only other band that had a fan base close to Rush's would be The Greatful Dead. Otherwise, yes....they are Canadian National Treasures. The Canadian government awarded them the title of official Ambassadors of Music.
3 man band sounds like a full orchestra.
I think there is a lot of overlap between the Canadian and U.S. media markets, and that would have been true 40-50 years ago, as well. As huge as Rush was in the U.S., it is inconceivable that they were not also popular in their home country. A fair few Canadian artists in music, movies and books have become household names in the U.S. and vice-versa. We are cousin cultures -- not the same, but mutually appreciated.
Can I suggest Beth Hart; a powerful musician/vocalist who can play classical piano/cello/bass, but her bluesy, soulful songs are mesmerizing. You will love her I guarantee it. But this is one of my favorite Rush song btw
Rush was/is big in Canada but mostly with rock fans, they should/could have been bigger and more appreciated by more Canadians in general. IMO
This is their best album in my opinion bar none. They were at their peak and they sounded fantastic live. All other albums they did not sound as good live as this one
Red Sector A next
I'm making up numbers as a rough guesstimate but there are probably less than 3 million Rush fans in Canada. 😮
More than 3 million in the Greater Toronto area alone. Ever try to get a ticket to one of their shows in Canada. Almost impossible.
You mean hard-core Rush fans right? 🤔
@@Fred-vy1hm To qualify has a fan you must own at least two albums, have spoken to someone about Rush, and optionally but highly recommended, have some Rush clothing. Being able to name the members of the band?
A fan is not someone who simply knows or has enjoyed and/or can recognize a few songs.
@@Fred-vy1hm Maybe we should have a rolecall: we're all here on UA-cam! 🤭
@@mdu2112Checking in for roll call, with my credentials:
Owning 2 Rush albums: Signals & Hemispheres.
Spoken to another person about Rush: my brother who introduced me to them, my friend Sarah who likes to sing Fly By Night while I'm riding in her car.
Rush clothing: sweatshirts imprinted with covers of Fly By Night, Hemispheres, and Clockwork Angels; handknit sweater with cover of 2112.
Group members plus their nicknames: Geddy Lee AKA Dirk; Alex Lifeson AKA Lerxst; Neil Peart, AKA Pratt, AKA The Professor, AKA "your favourite drummer's favourite drummer."
So do I pass the test?
Their Drummer died Jan 7 2020
Taj Farrant...Crossroads
Always great reactions from you, but, turn off the subtitles please. Axx
We need more Benevolent leaders, not ones who are focused on their bank accounts, their popularity or their religion. Something is very short order, if not completely lost :(
But most politicians hearts are black so.
Great Rush reactions. The Stickhits versions are always superior
Is the word you were looking for Effervescent?
