      Geddy's double-neck is actually a four-string bass, top, and six-string guitar bottom. he is playing the guitar during Alex's finale guitar solo, just not shown in this video. the later live versions of Xanadu do show Geddy playing guitar at the same time as Alex. plus bass foot pedals. Epic my first live show as a 15-year-old kid was mindblown and still am with Rush

    I've been listening to Rush since my high school days over 38 years now and still going strong...Just wanted to thank-you guys for your positive feedback on Rush because truly they are musical geniuses. As you see from the other comments they have a loyal fan base. Again I want to thank you guys for recognizing true talent hands down Rush will be remembered as a one an a generational band that has ever existed. The fact that Neil Pert (a drummer) wrote most of the songs they played is truly amazing. He is a genius and the best that has ever played that position. No disrespect to other drummers but hands down Neil will go down in the Hall of Fame of musicians with respected talent in the history books. It was no wonder why he was called the "Professor"!

    It's hard to tell on a cellphone obviously but this concert video, "Exit Stage Left.".. is a truly magnificent sounding representation of the band at that point. They had always taken their live sound very seriously and because of the success of the "moving pictures " album, now had some money to bring a production out on the road and it sounds absolutely incredible especially given the technology of the time. I don't know if there's a remastered version of this released out there in the world but it would probably be stunning considering the original sound so good. Rush credit Kiss and the tours that they did with them early on for showing them how important it was to give an audience their money's worth and you can tell that they really took it to heart because rush was always Cutting Edge when I came to visual presentation and concert sound. Saw them a Dozen or more times over the years and they never sounded anything less than huge. Even in the dread 1980s with the digital keyboards and things sounding so thin, their livesound was still very powerful

    Not only does Geddy play bass, keyboards and sing, but he plays the Tarus bass pedals with his feet, but one thing most people miss is at 18:18 he's actually playing the closing riff of the song on a 6-string guitar which is the second neck on his.
    Even in the few songs where they do use a background sample or sound effect, Rush has always demanded that it be manually triggered by someone in the group.

    Exit Stage Left was the live album from 1981 "Moving Pictures" (studio album) tour. They played stuff from Their 1st 8 albums. 1974 -81. Xanadu was a song from "A Farewell to Kings" Album (1977). Rush basically recorded an album, toured rinse repeat until the mid 80s when they would take a few months off. They had 19 studio albums . 1 cover album and many live albums.Remember, Tool took a 13 yr break before Fear Inoculum. 5 years was longest Rush ever took toward end of their career

      @@davecole2561 @Dave Cole Well said. Top 10 reasons I fell in love with Rush and these three guys. 1 Musicianship 2. Lyrics 3. They gave 100% at every show 4. The pure honesty in their music. 5 The respect and friendship they have with one another. 6. They are rebels, modern day warriors, if you will, lol.
      7. Never taken themselves too seriously or let fame turn them into dirtbags, because they are all just decent human beings. Side note: I always loved their intro to their shows... Like Rash, and Peart in bed wirh Jerry Stiller, lol.. Alex's Dinosaurs and Barbie dolls and Geddys rotessierres, dryers, and of course, his homage to Spinal Tap with the mini Stonehenge on his synth. 8. Their dedication to their artistic growth for themselves first, fans second, and record label third. 'Most endangered species and the honest man, will survive annhiliation' 😊 9. Their fans - we are, without a doubt, the geeks, the freaks, and the weirdest looking, nicest group of fans on the planet. I miss seeing them live so much ... Because aside from the concert, the audience was filled with the most diverse group of people, all air drumming, air guitaring, air bassing? Lol. Sorry long list. 10.. Blah blah blah. Best speech ever, so very heartfelt for them and for us fans. Hello from Las Vegas, NV US. 😊

    Rush has 19 studio albums, 11 live albums, 11 compilation albums and 13 video albums. You need a "book of Rush" to open weekly, and, the Rush army will feed you well. Geddy, Alex and Neil (may he rest in peace) are/were masters of their craft, and were also friends - never having suffered the "diva" issues, that ruined other bands.

    Watch the entire concert video. Tool is obviously amazing, but NOTHING compares to these 3 together, especially during this period live. Watch this one again and again. SHIT, pushing up on 40 years of doing just that, and I am still blown away and notice something else that rips my skull back.

  • @michaelgross8635
    @michaelgross8635 3 роки тому +3

    This was the first tour I got to see - my band and I were blown away. I had been introduced to Rush two years earlier (1979) by a friend of my brother's who loaned me their first 6 studio albums and their first live album. This tour was for the album Moving Pictures and the live album title is "Exit Stage Left" - since you were wondering where that name fits in. Incredible that just 3 guys can make so much happen on stage - especially back then. It was extremely rare for them to record anything that they couldn't reproduce live. It was a point of pride. Where to go next? Damn, there's 40 years of material to explore! Personally, I would recommend the studio versions of the following tracks (I just checked what you already reviewed)): La Villa Strangiato, The Spirit of Radio, Freewill (if you want another Exit Stage Left track, I'd go with this one, but the studio version is truly awesome) - also: Natural Science, Limelight, The Camera Eye, Subdivisions, Digital Man. That's just a small sample from the period of '78-'82, but those are some of my absolute favorites. Enjoy!

I got 43 live shows under my belt and there are tens of thousands of other Rush fans who've seen them more than me. Freewill, By-tor and the snow dog/In the End easy choices to get blown away on. Loved your reactions. Brought back great memories.

    Bytor and the Snow Dog from Exit Stage Left is also awesome. Also la Villa Strangiato official music video is amazing. Working man live in Cleveland. As someone else mentioned Alex Lifeson - guitar and Geddy Lee - vocals, bass and Keyboards have been best friends since they were 13. Neil joined the band later in 1974. The three of them had an amazing synergy. Neil's drum kit was huge and he looks dwarfed behind and he was 6' 4". They all make it look so effectlessly. 🇨🇦✌

    We are blessed to have had these three virtuosos play music together. They were just on the same wavelength in most all regards. They always made sure each was credited equally, so there were no hard feelings. They always had to all agree on something, or they didn't do it. Their synergy is the key to their longevity. So many bands crumbled due to lack of harmony. These guys just had the right characteristics to be able to make great music for 40+ years. Thanks for the reaction!
