Vital Signs, Witch Hunt [Rush Reaction] Live Snakes & Arrows tour/Rotterdam 2007-First time hearing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2024
- This is the finale of our reaction to Rush's magnificent Moving Pictures album. Wich Hunt and Vital Signs are on the agenda. And as an added bonus, Mike & Dev react to a live performance of Witch Hunt from the 2007 Snakes & Arrows tour (Rotterdam, The Netherlands).
This is Dev's first time listening to these songs. Mike has never heard Witch Hunt before. We are re-experiencing classic rock music, an album at a time, with fresh perspectives and active ears, so that Dev can learn and appreciate this music more, and so that Mike can relive his childhood.

Thank you for All the music
“Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand. Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand.” My favorite Neil Peart lyric ever.
Appropriate today, Neil was a much needed voice of reason so to speak.
My only tattoo 👍
"Those who know what's best for us, must rise and save us from ourselves"
We're living it. Klaus Schwab call your office.
The Trump/GOP Cult in a nutshell. Neil saw this whole thing coming.
@@carlgibbons5777 Ironically, hate and intolerance are in copious supply on both sides of the aisle.
Witch Hunt lyrics are more relavent today than in '81. Quite a raange of songs on this one album.
There will never be another Rush. They were simply the best, most talented, and most accomplished three musicians ever.
I’m 70 same age as Neil with 47 Rush 🎟️ ticket stubs absolutely loved every show , I listen to them everyday.
No weaknesses in this lineup. The start to finish quality is hard to deny ( with variety!) and adds up to greatness
Permanent Waves is another perfect album by Rush.
Geddy plays organ pedals, sings ,bass and organs. Just 1 fine musician with 2 of the best to join in.
Not an album, but "La Villa Strangiato" live will blow you away.
I think your next Rush album should be Permanent Waves before you venture into later or earlier stuff. There is much to hear of the 19 studio albums with 167 songs. This was great, so bring us more, please 😁
Definitely. Every song is great.
Geddy was very influential in the writing of Witch Hunt...and very emotionally charged by it. Reason: His parents were interred in a Nazi concentration camp during WW2.
Actually it was the whole crew yelling that were at the studio that made the noise at the beginning coming up the driveway and just overdubed it multiple times till it sounded like the mob .🤘RUSH 🤘 Smiles 😃 from Canada 🇨🇦
On to the next Rush album! Really enjoyed this full album reaction with you. Very thoughtful and attentive to many of the things longer time Rush fans appreciate. I also love that you insist on the studio but are willing to do a good live one at the same time. People often miss out by only doing live or only doing studio. I suggest full album Permanent Waves next :-)
My favorite RUSH album is Hemispheres so I suggest that, however Permanent Waves does contain my favorite RUSH song so I can agree with that album as well.
Pearts lyrics were almost prophetic at times. Lyrical genius. Love/loved Rush. RIP Neil.
Just wanted to add that in 81, we were at peak Analog Rush as they were still all analog. Synths were the mini Moog, and Moog Taurus petals. MIDI wasn't popular yet. Look at Neil's drum kit for Xanadu, I don't think anyone else ever had a many things to hit to make sounds.This was also the time that both Alex, and Geddy were using double neck guitars, and depending on which video you watch, you can see Geddy playing the 6 string.
Neil Peart
Your favorite drummers favorite drummer
Heard this live on the tour promoting this album when it came out - magnificent...like Rush's best work, a perfect fusion of words and music.
I believe a lot of RUSH fans like this album the best. Mike is right, the synthesizer phase, started around this time! I think a RUSH chronological tour would be VERY good for your channel! They started very HEAVY (rock) then moved into their awesome Progressive Rock phase and then Synth Rock, quite a JOURNEY! For a group of THREE musical geniuses, you just have to respect RUSH as one of the all-time greats! Thanks for all the hard work!
Witch Hunt is one of my all time favorite songs. It’s pure genius lyrically (still very relevant today) and musically.
These 2 songs really do stand out for me. Initially Witch Hunt was the stand out song on the lp. Vital Signs didn't do it for me on release but it's now the stand out song for me. The last minute is inspired with some of Neil Peart's best work.
My first Rush gig was ar the Pink Pop festival in 79 and also performing that day was the Police. Stuart Copeland and Neil Peart were good friends and I often wonder if that was the day they first met. In any event Copeland and the Police did make an impression on Rush as Vital Signs shows.
I swear I saw something in the lady's face, the moment she thought "what's just happened to me" and then became a Rush fan.
Hi Mike and Dev! All I can say is I’m so happy I grew up in a time when these giants ruled the airwaves. Not sure we will ever see three musicians of their caliber in one band again. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter Sunday. 💕💕💕
🐇🐣😀❤️
I'M so happy to see yet another "mythical" female Rush fan, 💞, and I was just comforting myself over losing the GOAT from my life 💔 with the fact that I was lucky enough to have them to guide and shape it ❤️🩹. And yeah, that what were/are the odds? ❤🐇
We’ll never see ONE musician of their caliber in a band again. Just as we didn’t before them.
In the Vital Signs video, Neil is wearing a Montreal Expos baseball hat which is appropriate given the location. This major league team no longer exists as well as Le Studio itself which definitely further dates the video. I love the little double bass flurry Neil does at the very end of Vital Signs. I believe these two songs are Neil’s first foray into electronic drums especially evident in those sweeping round-house fills he employs in Witch Hunt and the little electronic snare sound in the beginning of Vital Signs. Vital Signs was done under the moniker “The Fabulous Men” which was a kind of a band alter ego they would use jokingly when they did something that mimicked new wave or had new wave elements in it.
Here to comment about the Expos... Player strike cost us the World Series.
The weird thing on Neil Peart's shirt during this video is a PZM - Pressure Zone Microphone. The latest tech in the early 80's, it is being used as a snare mic. Neil and the studio crew argued about where to position the mic and ended up taping it to a piece of cardboard which was then duct-taped to Neil's shirt.
Pure brilliance!
The Henhouse. Geddy's backline. A few tours back he changed from amps to direct to the sound board. They needed something to fill the big empty spaces, thus the Henhouse. In the past have been washer/dryer combos and a fast food machine. When I saw them, was the washer/dryer. At the end of the show, they went to them and got tee-shirts out and gave them to the crowd. Vapor Trails Tour. To answer your question "what's taped to his shirt" is a PZM Microphone The sound engineer was wanting to capture what Neil hears from the kit. Audio was never used in the final mix.
Geedy Lee the lead singer and bass player also plays the keyboard
Saw this tour in Tampa,Florida. Outside, it was incredible!
A slow dance where occasionally one of you has to go tumbling down a flight of stairs. Fun times. 🙂
Ok, well someone has to leave the obligatory LMAO! 😂
Great live version of Vital Signs on the Time Machine tour Cleveland 2011. In fact they play the entire Moving Pictures album on this tour to celebrate 30th anniversary of the Moving Pictures album. Rush were influenced by the Police on Vital Signs
2112 the rush song/album, niel live in Frankfurt the drum solo, working man 1974 album /live in Cleveland almost 40 years later.
One of their best songs and the lyrics are amazing thank you for doing this
My suggestion would be, the album that preceeded this. PERMANENT WAVES
Next Rush Album: Clockwork Angels!!!
Do the album before this: "permanent waves" and the album after: " signals". You won't be disappointed....
Vital signs....my fav
Coolest to cover it all....😊
Yes, you were right about the mob scene. It was the the guys plus the recording crew out in the cold with a fair amount of cognac doing the yelling. LOL
I really enjoyed your reaction to this album and I hope you will do more.
A Farewell to Kings
Hemispheres
Permanent Waves
are a few suggestions.
Cheers ❤
Really enjoyed the reactions, absolutely loving everything about your display; It's fantastic! My first of your videos, but I subscribed the instant I saw how recent it was, and that I might get to go along on your Rush journey. Obviously I highly recommend it. But get ready, because as has been said, "Rush IS variety."
❤
🐇 🇺🇦
The thing on Neil's shirt on Vital Signs is actually a PZM - pressure zone microphone - which is how they got the cool snare sound. To properly position it, they taped the mic to a piece of cardboard which they then duct-taped to Neil's shirt.
Not chimes, it's Neil playing his Glockenspiel to open.😊
The Spirit of Radio off of Permanent Waves should be next endeavor...RUSH4LIFE
The next album, Signals is just as good, for a lot of fans, which is crazy! And even more accessible…
Not sure if the questioned was answered, the "thing" on his shirt was a microphone to pick up some of the ambiance of the kit as he played.
I think you're hearing the influence of "the Police" at this point in their development.
Thanks guys! Love your reactions! Thoughtful and Intelligent.
For more progressive Rush check out Hemispheres and then the next album after that Permanent Waves which is the album before Moving Pictures. I prefer Permanent Waves over Moving Pictures, but you cant go wrong wrong with any pre 1985 album
Portland and Seattle walked hand in hand.
Neil Peart was a big Police fan back in those days which led to the reggae sounds
If you decide to continue doing the discography in order, you'll also hear the reggae sound in Digital Man and New World Man from Signals, and in Distant Early Warning from Grace Under Pressure; if you decide to go into Permanent Waves as suggested above, the leadoff track The Spirit Of Radio includes a reggae section at the end.
I think the contemporary influences at the time were bands like the Police, especially with respect to the off beat Reggae like syncopation on this peace. Reggae itself was probably a direct influence. Contemporary synthesizer influence probably would have been bands like the Cars, Styx, and Journey. Rush used synth but they didn't use it in the same way as dance-based pop bands like Madonna. They always had more of a fusion based sound, using odd time signatures and time changes. Rush was always more intellectual than sensual, and were never as repetitive as dance pop songs.
brilliant reaction - thanks and more rush albums yeah
I truly appreciated your approaches especially on the side B material this is an album that has been with me so long I can't honestly remember a time that it didn't exist that makes any sense. So, it's wonderful to see it taking in Through The Eyes of a new Observer. I love the interplay with the live footage of witch-hunt, for comparison's sake. This is just a really excellent deep dive of the record and I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. Rush is a wonderful resource of all manner of interesting and diverse influences. Their career went on so very long that they were never afraid to keep doing new things
To answer the lovely lady's question about what is on Neil's shirt, I found a quote from Neil himself: During these sessions we were experimenting with an unusual type of microphone called a "PZM," or Pressure Zone Microphone. It only picks up direct sound--no reverberated signals. On this track and on "Vital Signs," we used it taped onto my chest! It re-created that special "drummer's perspective"; the balance and dynamics that you hear when you play. In the overall mix it's used as an overhead or ambience mic' to enhance and naturalize the complete drum mix. If any of you happened to see the video that we made for "Vital Signs," you may have noticed the great lump of metal that was growing out of my chest. That was the PZM.
Neil wasn't an audio engineer. Crown PZMs were fairly new, and monophonic, and they thought sticking one on his chest would make him look like a robot for the video. Putting a PZM on a drummer's chest will only add a single other signal to the mic array. Could be useful, but probably not much, considering how well mic-ed the rest of the kit was. It's a monophonic mic. It ain't gonna create "a drummer's perspective" because it ain't gonna pick up "a drummer's perspective." If anything, it would pick up a ton of snare and a bunch of cymbals in mono, which you would know, if you ever used one. That's hardly a "drummer's perspective." They may have done it in the actual recording, but I can guarantee you is was kept to a minimum, and it's certainly not any sort of "overhead."
Look at Glyn John's drum mic techniques. 3, 4, maybe 5 mics with the Stones, Led Zeppelin, etc.
Stop fluttering over your heroes' music videos and media interviews. Hint: On *_Time Stand Still,_* they, and Aimee Mann are "not actually flying around a soundstage . . ."
👀
Vital Signs was last song written-almost as a afterthought and thrown together rather quickly. The thing on his chest was a special contraption(with a microphone)that was used to capture the sound in a specific way. Witch Hunt was the one song on the album done specifically as a studio production piece never intended to play live-however with the advent of more modern electronic technology, they first played it live in 1984 on the Grace Under Pressure tour which included the song ‘The Enemy Within’ Part I and the previous album was Signals with part II called ‘The Weapon’ and they played all three sequentially together.🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎹🎤
"The thing on his chest was a special contraption(with a microphone)that was used to capture the sound in a specific way." It's a music video with many cuts. Don't be dazzled by the music video theatrics into thinking this was some live performance. 👀
2112 album reaction should be next and the n work your way back to Moving Pictures and finish off with Signals...album a month would be good pace...loved that you did the live version from S & A...that tour was amazing visually and sonically 🤘
Great reaction! Aways enjoy it.
10:43 Yeah. there's a product by some percussion company with a cowbell type thing you can play with a kick-drum pedal. Maybe Latin Percussion. His was like this green PVC thing that sounded like a cowbell, but was more hardy, I guess. A drummer of mine back in a loud, punkish, noisy band in the '90s brought one into his kit at our rehearsal space whilst working with another group. The other guys and I noticed it and immediately laughed at it, going: "Ok, dude, you can never, ever use this in this band!"
"What? Why not?"
Me: "If you wanna go play _Mississippi Queen_ in a "Mountain" tribute band, that's your business, but while we're here, that foot stays off that pedal! Hahaha." He'd fuck with us, of course, in our space, but at gigs, and on the road, we'd hide it from him at loadout, along with his windchimes. Also, he'd always request a mic from the stage manager, but after the first night of him trying to keep the audience with sort of stock, corporate stage banter after we'd finish a song, ("How's everybody doing tonight?" And trying to be funny: "Try the veal!") we learned quickly to tell the stage manager: "Give him the mic, put it through his monitor, but never let it through the front-of-house mains . . ."
Ahh . . . good times.
Hey guys, enjoying your reactions and analysis. Done with Moving Pictures....great album. I would suggest to go back to the album previous to Moving Pictures, being it, Permanent Waves..........to me, the album that consolidated this power trio....there is not a song to waste on such a creative LP. The Spirit of Radio, Freewill, Jacobs Ladder, and, mainly, Natural Science are top notch masterpieces......I also suggest you check Natural Science live from their 1997 tour.....what a sound.....
I am very glad you guys are settling in with, and really appreciating, Rush! They are my favorite band (along with The Beatles) and I have been a fan since 1976. I've seen them dozens of times, over the years, and they are like the soundtrack of my life. God bless 'em and thank you guys too!
ON Neil's shirt it a microphone to record his heartbeat.
Great reaction and commentary!! You could just continue, on to the next album, Signals. You'll see the deviation in their music. See what you think.
Great series guys, sad "Moving Pictures" has ended! If you're taking suggestions for the next Rush album, try "Hemispheres", one of their best in my layman opinion.
You cant miss with Rush
Your review is absolutely great! Thanks for doing this. Music is a lovely way to connect with people. I 'm pretty sure you will love to review this one: RUSH The Weapon LIVE 1984 GRACE UNDER PRESSURE TOUR
I graduated HS in '82. This album was right in our mix. More radio friendly vs 2112 type stuff, but I was totally into their success.
Thank you both for covering this entire album and including the live footage. Vital signs seems to me to be inspired by all the new wave music coming out, especially the Police. They took this style and further explored and refined their music in future albums. If you were to do a second Rush album I would recommend Permanent Waves.
the song is for head banging!
Love these reactions hope you guys have an amazing Easter and week ahead
Try some live videos from the 1980 -1984. Great, and great fun.
Always liked vital signs as a song, at the time it was pretty different from what I was used to what Rush previously created, but really enjoyed it on the first listen......and have ever since
I've been hot and cold with Rush, with your reaction videos, I now understand the appeal to their talent. At the time of the Rush rage my interests were more stuck on the 70's, such as Robin Trower and Deep Purple. Great video and very high quality.
Funny that their next album, "Signals" was considered a sellout to the almighty synth. However, it seems to have aged well and people like the album. It's ther same with "Vital Signs" in that it still doesn't hold the intrest like "Tom Sawyer", it has gathered a clique of people who do like it.
Fantastic!
More Rush !!!
Vital Signs is the average song that puts them under Permanent Waves as their best album in my humble opinion. Permanent Waves is pure perfection. Actually I also like Farewell to Kings more as well. Your mileage will vary.
If Vital signs is an average song, then it's the greatest average song I've ever heard. It's weird, strangely funky and even features a cool bass solo from Geddy. The outro with its drumming is just too short for me... about 5 minutes too short.
That picture with the woman being burnt is a scene of one being put to death for being a witch. Like the Salem witch trials where those 'ignorant and fearful people' become judge and jury of those they don't understand.
Prophetic
The outro to Vital Signs is magnificent and too short... several minutes too short for my liking. Magnificent funky weirdness from the holy triumvirate. What a band.
Back in the day, I was totally in with the new direction. The next three albums Signals, Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows were my favourites for a good few years after.
Grace is fn awesome!
Hello, I've watched all your videos from the Moving Pictures Album and enjoyed your reactions thoroughly. I just subscribed and will be leaving a tip (donation) after I finish commenting.
I am a huge Rush fan, of course, but I took the road less travelled (by serious Rush fans). I of course heard and loved all their singles from the 70's and early 80's on the radio and loved them all. However just when I got around to purchase my first Rush Albums, deciding to start with their Zeppelin-esque debut album and the current album of the day by them, which was the next after Moving Pictures; Signals, was when they really started heavy with the synthesizers and the album was not what I was expecting, since I was getting into hard rock and heavy metal, so my Rush age past into history, except I did continue to enjoy their Debut album through the years.
Long story short, I rediscovered Rush last year and the age of 54, through UA-cam videos and I fell totally in love with their long progressive symphonies taking up entire sides of their 70's albums. Then the deep dive into the entire discography, and a year later, after spending thousands on an audiophile quality turn-table and 16 of their 19 studio albums (17 of 20 if you count their 60's rock cover album 'Feedback') all top quality 180-200g remasters from original analog masters, with DMM (direct to metal mastering) half-speed mastered double LP's. Yes, I'm in that deep!
Anyway, I hope you guys return to Rush soon, with another full album. And I'd like to suggest my favorite album. Their last studio album, their "swan song" (for albums, they continued to tour for another 3 years) that I feel is their best work, ending their recording career with their Tour-de-Force that is 'Clockwork Angels.' Including the greatest good-bye song ever created, 'The Garden.' The album in it's entirety is a concept album and story of a young man's journey through life to it's conclusion, in his Steampunk world. Neil Peart even co-wrote a novel by the same title all based around the same story. Their are narrations in the album sleeves as introductions to each song, filling in the story between the songs. Just incredible. I think you will enjoy it far more than Moving Pictures.
One warning though, Rush left their synthesizer era in the mid 90's, returning to their guitar. bass and percussion driven roots of the 70's, steadily getting heavier overall and finally moved from hard rock to Progressive Metal with Clockwork Angels, with the exception of 2 or three song;, including their beautiful grand opus 'The Garden'
Matt
Appreciate the thoughts!
@mattbaker5757 thank you so much for the donation! Sorry for the delay, we weren't getting our PayPal notifications, but I have since fixed this. We will acknowledge your donation in our first _Dark Side of the Moon_ video. More Rush coming after that!
They were very influenced at this point by the Police. You can definitely hear it in Vital Signs.
Yes, by Neil's own admission of his influences at that time. Only it's far more interesting and accomplished than anything The Police could ever do, in my view. I write that as someone who also likes The Police.
Now that I found your channel and I noticed it's been a couple of months since you've done the Rush 2112 review, I would suggest Hemispheres or Permanent Waves for your next Rush Album review. Love your takes on what you are seeing and hearing. By the way, their Live in Cleveland Time Machine 2012 Tour DVD opens with the 3 of them acting as other people but about the band called RUSH in their own skit as the band is trying to get noticed...very funny if you are so inclined.
Alex played the outro guitar solo on the live version of Witch Hunt? I kind of missed Geddy’s bass solo on that outro? Geddy played an awesome bass melody during the ending of the song.
I have seen Rush live on every tour since Permanent Waves in 1980, yet I never caught them do Watch Hunt? I think that they only played Witch Hunt only at certain cities.
The big difference between synth from the 1980s to the 1990s is that synths in the 80s were analog sounds. The keyboards would generate sound by using twin oscillators, which could only produce sound between saw waves or sine waves. The saw wave had very jagged points to the wave when viewed with an oscilloscope. The sine wave created a very smooth wave that looked like calm seas at water level.
First synths had only a single oscillator, which made them monophonic, meaning only one key at a time could be played. Cords were not possible. If you pushed two keys simultaneously, only one wave would be played. The sine or saw wave could then be run through a series of parameters dials, engaging different parametric filters, which is why Geddy’s mini Moog had many, many dials on it, like a mixing console.
You could use all of the parametric filters to literally sculpt the sound from it’s original sound by changing things like resonance, decay, delay, soft or hard attack, making combinations was nearly endless, but try as hard as you like, but the early synths could only create a very synthetic versions of real world instruments, like strings, woodwind and brass. If you listen to early 80s full synth movie themes, like the song “Axel F” which was the theme song from Beverly Hills Cop, you will hear the sounds of oscillators in their raw sound.
Then came polyphonic synths which were the same oscillators except that you could now press more than a single key, making chords available for the first time.
In the 1990s came digital sampling, which really revolutionize keyboards forever. Now, when you pushed a key, you were no longer trggring oscillators, but recordings of actual drums, bass, strings, brass and anything else you wanted to record. Now the synthesizer was no longer really a synth since the sounds were real recordings but, you still had a a zillion different parameters you could use to alter the tone of each key it triggered.
Now, Geddy could access real strings for songs like The Manhattan Project or The Big Money and the violins and violas and cellos and bass violins all sounded remarkably real. The synthesizer has come a long way since the 1970s.
Some of those old sine and saw waves had been part of a generation that liked the heavy, dry, synthesizers sound of the old sine waves. So modern synthesizers now come with sampled recordings of both sine and saw waves, but you’re no longer creating or synthesizing the sound. Instead, the sounds have been recorded off of an old synth and recorded to a chip.
People still wanted those old patches they had created in the 70s, so companies like Roland and Korg sill oblige for a price. Synthesizers or keyboards, as they call them, now have comparatively lowered the price on most keyboards because digital data can be stored on much smaller drives. In the 1980s, a polymoog would set you back around $2,000.00in 1980s money. That would be something like $10,000.00 in today’s currency. So, in comparison, the same synth might set you back around $$2,000 to $3,000.00
I know you are into entire albums but after watching your reviews I would strongly recommend do Working Man. Their first Song they broke with and then do the Live from Cleveland from Time Machine Tour.
You both will enjoy the album before this Permanent Waves. Highly recommend for next Rush reaction. ✌😎
The Fear series of songs are awesome. I think you would really like a Fear series reaction. Perhaps in the future.
Witch Hunt was not so much to inspire fear, but to illustrate how manipulators can use fear to "possess" the "ignorant" masses to their liking, much like the Salem townspeople during the Witch Trials. The song is still relevant today especially as our society seems ever more polarized by groups who do not open their mind to differing points of view, but instead fear and hate opposing points of view.
Vital Signs is different by one of my favorite songs on the album. You can hear influences of The Police, and the more synth based new age music from the time (1980).
Notice the percussion mic, Neil is wearing on his chest during the recording? This album is sonically amazing. Particularly the drums.
Would love to see your reaction to Permanent Waves by Rush.
the voices at the beginning is the band and crew just saying a bunch of random stuff
One of these days, you'll get it🤔 If you play just a little bit of attention🍄
checked you out today & subscribed
Witch Hunt is sadly more relevant today than when it was written. 😕
Other great band from Ontario Canada is Motion Device.
The topic of witch hunts is very relevent today.
Also, 18:08 There are no congas on this album. Not sure what you mean there.
The rotisserie chicken tour 😂😂
Cluck cluck
I always loved Geddy's mid-range in the 80's and 90's. But you reallllly need to make sure you keep lyrics going tor the future albums. This one song will give you insight as to why so many of us fell in love with the band so much that we broke down into tears when Peart died - "The Pass" - ua-cam.com/video/qTHJv3SAMBY/v-deo.html
Listen to 2112, caress of steel, a farewell to kings
About vanilla fudge
You have no idea how political Niel could get.
The second side of this album is just incredible.
Who in 81 used the term “memory chip”, now it’s like saying air.
The lyrics to _Vital Signs_ confused me a bit because I said to myself, "Where's all the techno-speak?" In '81, that was techno-speak! Lol
@@MusicforBusyPeople Random sample...hold the one you need...also..Neil is wearing a PZM microphone, it's that large square duct taped on his chest. (near his heart) -During these sessions we were experimenting with an unusual type of microphone called a "PZM," or Pressure Zone Microphone. It only picks up direct sound--no reverberated signals. On this track and on "Vital Signs," we used it taped onto my chest! It re-created that special "drummer's perspective"; the balance and dynamics that you hear when you play.
