Rush surprises us all and takes the stage during the Foo Fighters concert in Toronto, and play YYZ!
March 22nd, 2008
Air Canada Centre
That's what happens when you play the YYZ summoning call. It summons the mighty Rush to appear. Use this power wisely.
THE PEART must have been out of range of the RASH signal in the sky.
Dave did a great job!!
I wonder how weird it was for Alex and Geddy to play on another bands stage with strange equipment and still pull off a ROCKIN version of a signature song....
CSXer Taylor did a great job...
CSXer
I read or saw an interview in which Geddy Lee said he'd never played it that fast and that was a surprise, but they had fun.
CSXer That's Geddy's #1 J-Bass and Alex is playing one of his Signature Model Les Pauls (thru body whammy).
+Markle2k Didn't notice till you pointed it out - Many thanks!
Am I the only one that would've shit myself if I was at a Foos show and Rush fucking walked out? Unreal.
I would have left pieces of my skull and what little gray matter remained after my head exploded all over the concertgoers surrounding me. Good Lord, that would be worth a month's salary.
Yep. I would've soiled myself then all over the solar system.
They're 1/2 of my favorite bands, Rush being my 1st. So I'd freak the heck out, yeah.
I traveled from Rochester to Toronto to see the show. It literally just blew my freaking mind. The best part is nobody had any idea this was going to happen.
Sorry. The best part was when the dude asked his girlfriend if he missed anything. LOL
I was at this show. Not a soul in the audience had any idea this was about to happen. Absolutely insane. If my memory serves me, I recall that afterwards, Dave came back on stage and goes, _"That was fuckin' Rush!!",_ then says to the crowd, _"You guys all owe me another $5 for that."_
RIP Taylor Hawkins. You gave me an amazing concert experience.
I got goosebumps reading your comment. Had a few of those concert moments myself.
and RIP Neil Peart two drum legends
Pure joy!!!!! Still can’t believe he is gone. RIP Taylor Hawkins.
It's terrible But what joy he brought to the world. RIP Taylor.
We have now lost the only 2 people who have every played YYZ with Alex and Geddy live......and it hurts so damn bad. 😭😭😭
@@evracer not to mention Geddy and Alex losing Neil, Geddy's mother, and now Taylor... all within just over a 2 year time span
@@jackmomma7481 I didn't know Geddy lost his mom. She lived a long life....still hard though.
I still can’t believe it. He was just too full of life to be gone
alex lifeson the most under appreciated guitarist ever the guy is a freakin genious
SO SO TRUE
This moment in time would have been lost forever if it wasn't for someone recording it with a cell phone for all of us to enjoy. Thanks so much/
Exactly! This is why I hate it so much when people complain about people holding up phones at concerts and reminisce about the old times when people didn’t have them… so many legendary performances lost to the sands of time. So thankful for these videos!
This is so true!
Like the guy says, "You're too slow." No offence, but Taylor Hawkins is no Neal Peart. And put your phone away.
@@Mardocius Neil was GOD. And no, I won't phone you either.
@@largebiff1743 I find phones at gigs annoying. Gigs are an intimate exchange (in as much as they can be) between the band and the fans that are there. Cherish those moments with your band, don't degrade them.by not paying proper attention. It's insulting to the artist. Plus, phone footage is never, ever going to get within a country mile of being there.
voice in the crowd to Taylor- "YOU'RE TOO SLOW!".. then he rips through YYZ with friggin RUSH!! and plays it faster than Rush does in concert HAHA!!
EXACTLY my thoughts when I saw this video for the first time!
Lots of drummers can play YYZ more or less perfectly. Not many can do it live on stage with no do-overs, and not make you miss Neil Peart. RIP Taylor, what a legend.
Easy sentiment to have now that he's dead... people who would say the opposite before he died are saying that ....
Ehh, Taylor played it right, but I was missing the Sound of Neil's Kit.
I think "holy fuck" followed by incoherent screaming are now the official lyrics of YYZ.
Watch Rush in Rio. The official lyrics are, “Baddya baa baaaa, baddya ba ba baaa.”
@@matnicholadded to the lyrics lol
Geddy Lee starts playing at Foo Fighters concert - camera guy has seizure.
lka1988 I was going to say the same thing! lmao!!!!
+lka1988 made me throw up all that spas
m !
Lane Anderson 😂
Can you imagine being at a Foo Fighters gig, then Rush turns up??? No wonder the crowd got excited. And I love both bands.
And Taylor jumps from behind the kit at the end of the song to hug Geddy...pure class.
He was so completely geeked-out
He's respecting his masters!
One of my favorite concert stories. Guy sitting in front of me wearing a RUSH shirt goes to get a beer grumbling something about "this drum solo sucks". He gets back after Geddy and Alex left the stage and the girl he is with has this look on her face like she's speechless. He just looks at her and shouts "What did I miss?"
😂
OUCH!!
Holy fuck. thats brutal XD
I can't believe people believe this shit
@@maziu27 tis true. Rush fans cant get girls
You know you're an amazing artist when the audience yells "HOLY FUCK" when you guest at a fucking Foo Fighters concert.
God damn legends. Proud Canadian RUSH fan right here.
I’m here enjoying all Taylor videos on the day of his death… what an incredible spirit he was. He was just pure musician. He was music in every sense…he was an incredible gift to this generation.
Absolutely. This wasn’t the news I wanted as I woke up today. I think I’ll just sit here and appreciate him for a while
You nailed it. He absolutely was a gift. And seemed like such a wonderful dude to boot.
The pure joy he had playing with his heroes, like a little kid. My heart is broken. RIP Taylor
I'm surprised that the front 10 rows didn't just disintegrate from the sheer input of entropy that Rush put onto that stage
Geddy actually talked about this in an interview. He said it was really hard to play because of how fast Hawkins was going.
They say he had 10 substances in his system, then listed them. I pretty much have those same 10 substances in my own blood and am not a "drug user". Each prescribed by my personal physician for various medical issues I am burdened with. I don't know this guy, but I don't want anybody thinking things they shouldn't be thinking about him. He may have been an addict for all I know but I thought Foo Fighters was a fairly clean band as far as hard drug use goes. At least at this stage of their lives. Don't sully him before you have proof. Rest in peace, Taylor, and thanks for the beats. Say hi to my son when you meet him.
Mad respect for Hawkins.
Johnny...Tayor definitely does not get the respect he deserves! The guy can drum!!
If Geddy and Alex ever get together and do like a Rush revisited reunion they definitely need Taylor Hawkins
@@chucky2569 absolutely
@@chucky2569 😭
I remember Dave Grohl saying something like "When I heard the crowd respond to Alex and Geddy coming on stage, I understood what real musicians can do to an audience."
Always thought that was awesome for him to say.
Dave is a saint-warrior-poet and genius.
Rush is respected (and revered!) by all.
Dave is pure class.
Likely one of the happiest moments of Taylor's life. Well done.
Love how at the end Hawkins literally can't get from behind his kit quickly enough to hug Geddy!
He obviously has massive respect for Neil 👌
Taylor has massive posters of Neil in his house and he's teaching his son to play Rush songs on the drums. He's a huge fan.
How cool is it to see these guys come out and jam with taylor. They rarely if at all Jam away from Rush, plus Taylor is such a huge fan and pulled off the drum parts. A Rare Rush moment for all fans. Thanks to the camera person for sharing this great footage with us we really appreciate it.
I was there that night. Sitting in the 300s straight across from the stage. As soon as I heard Taylor do the YYZ intro after his solo I thought "hmm he just played Rush real quick there. Little shoutout I guess." And then wouldn't you know it...Geddy and Alex walked on stage and created this epic moment!
I remember being at that concert standing in front of Alex. What you don’t see here is Dave sitting off stage to the left playing air drums right along with Taylor. Great moment in love rock history for me.
THIS! Watching Dave sitting on the speaker air drumming with that 'starstruck' look on his face was amazing! Best live Foo moments I've seen yet.
The best musician Foo Fighters has ever had, he will be sorely missed, R.I.P.
Way bigger than the rest. He showed his skills only here playing with Rush!!!! The tempo a bit faster but hey noone can bit The Professor
Thats the fastest theyve played it since it Moving Pictures came out, ha in a interview, geddy said his fingers were cramping the whole time
Aaron Sibley They also played it that fast on the Signals and GUP tours.
151 bpm compared to 141 on the album
Hahaha I know I kept thinking "that boy is a little excited to be playing with them"
Like the old joke:
How do you know when a drummer is at the door?
The knocking gets faster and faster and they don’t know when to come in.
@@matnichol bahahahahahaha
I've always known Taylors Hawkins was a badass drummer, but this! This is amazing!!!!
'Course he's badass. In this clip, he's playing the patterns set down by arguably one of the finest percussionists of all time.
He should be in a greater band. If you catch my drift
@bear extremely arguable. Laughable at that.
Dave is living his and every rockstar dream to play with all the members of his favorite bands
Come on now. they've had a significant influence. Rush deserve a rock and roll hall of fame entry
RIP Taylor - glad I got to see you play YYZ with the boys.
That's why Foo fighters inducted Rush into the Hall of Fame! Taylor did a amazing job. Everyone wished Neil was there!
Neil was at the Hall of Fame induction. He almost lost it when Alex did his Blah,Blah thing.
So.... this is what it feels like to be gutted and blown away at the same time. RIP TH!
What kid drummer didn't play along with Rush albums and get lost in a dream of playing live with them. What a cool experience.
I'm not even gonna complaint about the camera. Thanks!! That was amazing!!
Taylor is the one guy to ever play it with them this well next to Neil. All due respect to Danny and Omar, this was it. He had it.
OMG, not only Geddy Lee but Alex Lifeson graces this concert. It's an honor to play Niel Peart on drums.
Taylor a HIGHLY UNDERRATED drummer n I love Neil Pert n Buddy Rich..... Go Taylor u need MORE recognition mate.....
Rush is the most technically advanced band ever. No one even comes close. All 3 members are the best at their craft by far. Long live Rush.
The more I read comments like this, the more I despise Rush.
The same with Queen
Pompous, arrogant twats.
Rush fans talk a load of crap.
Rush are one of the most boring piles of rubbish I've ever heard.
Their musicianship is wasted on aimless Prog.
They are terrible and directionless
All their fans have no clue about what good Rock Music is.
The strange irony is that they all think Rush are the greatest, yet they've never heard the great Rock Bands.
Rush fans are ignorant of reality.
Their Earth is flat and the Holocaust never happened.
Mr. Gumby, I've got my head stuck in the cupboard.
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
Is this the 5 minute argument, or the full 1/2 hour.?
@@alanstrom2221 Rush are categorically AMONG the best bands to perform, technically, financially and poetically. Yes, saying they are "THE BEST" or "GREATEST EVER" is a dumb comment because its completely subjective, but to say they are complete trash like you are is just absolutely moronic, it makes you just as dumb as the people who say they are the greatest ever. I can say Led Zeppelin was the shittiest band to ever exist wasting their time on shitty womanizing songs and be just as credible as you are... doesn't make make me right.
Really, the most thechnically advanced ever... honest?
Don't be a foolish, and horrible ignorant sounding fan. It's sad and you sound stupid.
dream theater? tool?
Rest in Power, Taylor! After waking up to the tragic news this morning, I had to come and watch this this legendary moment!
There are lots of cool things about this, but Lifesons masterful playing coming out of that solo....just wow.
RIP Taylor. What an amazing talent.
Rush are the kind of band that we will look back on in 20 years time and say they didnt get the recognition they deserved.
9 years later: yup
@@danielhorsten4989 +1
They got the recognition they wanted. Loyal fan base and respect of their peers.
Is happened, one of the greatest bands ever
What an experience that must have been for Taylor. I for one am happy for him!! Plus he fucking nailed that shit!
This is beautiful. R.I.P. Neil and Taylor
Such a great moment . R.I.P. Taylor.
love the way the fans of a nowadays band got to see the true masters of epicness play
alex solos , zooms in on geddy
1970s cameraman
Or a bass player
Nick Lulich
haha
Never thought of that
A lot of people love that song for the bass part, so that's probably why. Bu the "70s cameraman" comment made me lol.
REST IN PEACE TAYLOR HAWKINS, you are now up there with the greats.. take care
Rest In Peace Taylor!! Soooo many memories!! 💔
I’ve come back to this video countless times over the years since this happened so I can revisit the moment over and over. But I’ll cherish this memory even more now after Taylor Hawkins’ passing. RIP to one of the best drummers of all time ❤️
That hug and smile at the end speaks volumes.
Taylor lived out a dream that many of us had, and his personality is as such that it was easy to feel the joy he had in that time as I lived vicariously through the experience.
that hug at the end - just brilliant!!
RIP Taylor. Great performance.
Such an amazing moment. And I love Taylor Hawkins' outright enthusiasm during this clip.
He will be sorely missed. R.I.P., TH.
Both the crowd and the drummers dreams come true at the same time
RIP Taylor. Have fun jamming with Neil wherever you two are, even if it's only in our hearts
RIP lad.. well done..
Proceeds from this concert will benefit Parkinson's research in honor of the cameraman for this video.
So good......lol
Props to Rami Jaffee doing the synth stuff! Dreams coming true here! I'm excited from my chair at home, 13 years later.
6:48 way to go! absolutely
That. Was. AWESOME!!!
Rest in Peace Taylor. You absolute fucking legend.
kick ass!! T.H. was grinning ear to freaking ear...I love it!!
Sad Taylor and neil are both gone, this video brings me joy
WOOOOOOOW
I love hearing the people go nuts over such an EPIC MOMENT
TAYLOR FOREV
RUSH FOREV
NEIL FOREV
FOO FIGHTERS FOREV
This reminds me of Greek theater when the gods come down from Mount Olympus and mingle with the mortals. Fantastic!
5:08 geddy looking for his keyboard
It's true, that glance to the side for the keyboard break.☺
1:15; "Your TOO SLOW!"
2:00; everyone looses their F'ing minds😎😎🤘😎
John Erkman dude ate his words lol.
Amazing to see them playing together especially now that both drummers are sadily passed away
What an honour for Taylor - awesome. Love ya Rest in Beats
RIP Taylor Hawkins. You were worthy.
As awesome as Taylor, Geddy and Alex are, it's drunk guy in the crowd that makes this video.
I came back after Taylor’s Tribute to see him again jumping from that battery to hug Geddy, that’s the energy that I like to remember from him. RIP Taylor, you will be missed 💔
dude thats great. one if, if not the, best bands of all time playing with one of, if not the, best bands of our generations.
Just to think, Taylor is probably jamming with Neil right now. RIP TO BOTH LEGENDS!!
I love this video. Also love that absolute shite quality of the video but you get everything you need from it. Over 1m views and still going. Legends, all of them
This is absolutely mega! He was so lucky to have played with soo many of his heroes! What a life!
'The Light That Burns Twice as Bright Burns Half as Long!'
Taylor and The Professor trading 4's in heaven. RIP legends!
Best drummer on the planet...oh wait, thats neil peart. Taylor Hawkins is a close number 2...the kid can drum...
Dave Grohl isn't that bad himself..
Alexander Kendall I thumbs up you for Grohl. But I put him in third...
Rob W I'm sorry, but do you really put the three greatest drummers in the world, Peart, Hawkins, Grohl... in that order? Are you absolutely insane, or have you just only heard a handful of rock n roll bands?
Etherglide Nope, I am not 22 but thanks for the guess. I wasn't trying to be a twat, I was just genuinely curious. I apologize for insinuating that you were insane. You obviously are not insane, just seriously deprived of good music. I mean, I dig the Foo Fighters and Neil Peart is definitely an amazing drummer. But to say the three best drummers in the world are Hawkins, Grohl, and Peart..... well, it is so ridiculous it borders on absurdity.
Lopan Curious what your list is - or, at least who some of your faves are.
Taylor has definitely taken some patterns from the Peart playbook of drumming. I love what Taylor said about Neil Peart in the R&R HOF induction, that he has spawned a generation of air drummers for decades to come. The guy saying you're too slow probably couldn't perform a basic drum pattern.
It’s amazing when you can see the moment a childhood dream came true. Holy fu-. What a moment that was for Taylor.
I'm working on getting tickets. My first experience with the Holy Trinity was back in 86 in Worcester Mass . I was just 16 years old and will never forget that experience even though I had nosebleed seats. I hope to see them this year.
I want Neil and Taylor back
Taylor played this way way better than Omar Hakim and Danny Carey did at the tribute shows. It just goes to show how amazing of a drummer Taylor was. It's emotional as hell because this was one of the greatest moments of his life
Other than this being a bit too fast I agree he nailed it. Just shows what an underrated drummer he was.
Being there at that moment must have been amazing. Envy.
Definitely not the track for inviting audience members to do some drumming! Taylor did a great job.
Magic!!!
+Carlguitar69 Thank you intarwebs!
Love how the fans are so excited they can't even keep their camera steady
Rush is amazing. And so are The Foo Fighters
1:12 "You're too slow!"
I bet it was Neil Peart
I doubt it. Highly doubt it.
+Leon Herperger I'm not sure where hatred of one band starts and a love for another begins. Your disdain of Foo Fighters and along with it Rush is apparent in your first comment. Both bands are considered favorites among their demographics, myself included. And with that comes those who don't like their music, the old adage of "You can't please everyone" comes to mind with your first statement. I find that fine that some people don't like the same music I do, as some of my closest friends are fans of either Hardcore Punk, Metal, Country, Pop, and other diverse music. It speaks to each individual differently. It helps cultivate our identity as a human, who we are in this spinning planet we live on. Keeps us up when we're down, and speaks to us as a medium for understanding our pain, love, and joy in life.
Life is about challenging yourself and honing in on the things that you enjoy doing. However, no matter how good you are, how much talent you have at something, at some point, you will have to get paid. Using the term "sell out" is not solely a derogatory term of which you are saying about Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters. If you play at a club, gig, high school prom, or any other venue, FOR A PROFIT, then you are technically "selling yourself out" for money. If that's the case we're setting for what a sell out is, then you're calling Led Zeppelin, Prince, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, even Beethoven and Bach sellouts. And hey, that's your opinion. You're entitled to it. I may not agree, some others may not agree as well, but you'll find others who agree with you.
Yes, your criteria of "what a band is" is different than mine, the next person after me, or those who came before me. Those that define a band as those exploring their craft and cultivating music to inspire the next generation are artists themselves. I cannot call myself a musician as I'm not in a band, but just exploring the musical wonders that a stringed instrument can offer to me acoustically. For myself, and millions of others, the Foo Fighters have explored their craft a lot with having new members come forth, experimenting with adding new instruments, and coming up with songs that speak to their audience. Millions upon millions of people can't be wrong about a band you're labeling as "hacks" can they?
I'm not trying to justify that "you're wrong and should not give us your opinion," or say "go away troll." You've got music you enjoy, and I have mine. Shouldn't that be ok to have music in our cars, mp3 players, cassette tapes, CDs, 8 tracks, record players, etc.? All I want to do is have fun with my music, and not have it tinged with a sour puss getting a rise out of the masses. I want to feel the Hammer of the Gods come crashing down in my ears, bellowing and booming with presence, helping me get ready for life that is around me, and what is to come. That's what life is isn't it? The challenge of living.
+Dylan Hansen I just don't get it. I couldn't' name more than 5 good songs Dave Grohl has written. But I guess there's no accounting for taste, as the saying goes. But please... don't compare the "Foo Fighters" with Zep, Prince, Beatles, Elvis, Beethoven and Bach. My God! lol
Been a devoted RUSH fan since first hearing “The Necromancer” in 1975.
Nobody beats those 3 guys in my book but I am thrilled to see the respect between Ged & Al and the Foo’s!!
Passing the torch from one generation to the next.
I have seen them play “YYZed” during 60 live shows over the last 30 years and it still gives me goosebumps!!
I really like the bond that has formed in the past few years between 2 bands both on stage and in their personal lives.
It’s a beautiful thing!!
RUSH HAS NO EQUAL!! 🤘🤘
I got to see Dave and Taylor do a similar one-off with Stewart Copeland in L.A. the same year this was recorded. Such a tragic loss. His happiness is palpable here, as it always was when you'd see him perform. RIP.
wow! I never knew this happened!!
(and Im supposed to be the worlds biggest rush fan!!)
PS: seems like the worst camera man ever filmed this!! lol
No you are not
Captured with a very unsteady hand..Extreme shaking!
This must be the guy who takes the UFO videos. He jams to Rush in his head while the aliens fly over.
the rock & roll hall of "fame" can"t handle rush's awesomeness
This just proves again how amazing he was. Super soulful with impeccable sense of time. RIP
WhYY
WhYY
ZEdd
Would've been hilarious if Neil came on stage after the song just standing, chin in hand, everyone dead silent waiting upon his judgement 🤣
