I've been a fan since 1978 (one of the rare early females), and the empty drums at the end of this video break my heart every time :-( I'm so thrilled to watch the younger generation discovering Rush!! If you like complex, try La Villa Strangiato ... no lyrics, but doesn't need any - - Once you get that one devoured, and you're ready for more, try 2112 ... space opera at its best
Yes, Dream Theatre like numerous other bands were influenced by Rush. If you want complex La Villa Strangiato official music video ( closed set but they play it live in one take) 2112 comic book or lyric version Cygnus X 1 Book 1 Cygnus X1 Book 2 (Hemispheres) Two songs on two different albums that tell one complete story. Natural Science from the Molson Amphitheatre Toronto Working man live in Cleveland 🤯 The guys are in their late 50's and they blow this song from 1974 out of the water! Cheers
If you are interested in diving into the deep end of the more prog-metal phase of Rush, I highly recommend the album Hemispheres, that was the farthest they went into epic prog. The live version of Xanadu from 1982 will also tell you all you need to know about Rush but were afraid to ask. But 2112 is really the final destination for anyone who wishes to hear the true birth of progressive metal. It is loud, ferocious, complex and seething with anger!
Tom Sawyer isn't a very complex song. That's one of the charms of it. It uses a simple chord structure but it's very powerful. The thing about Rush is that they love doing different things. On that same album, "The Camera Eye" is a longer more progressive piece. The album before that had "Jacob's Ladder", which is VERY proggy. Definitely check out "Jacob's Ladder". Then there are instrumentals that are amazing, such as "La Villa Strangiato", "YYZ", and "The Main Monkey Business" (from one of their last albums).
Peep them lyrics tho, they'r pretty good. Tho his mind is not for rent, to any god or government, always hopeful yet discontent Knows changes aren't permanent, But change is
Great reaction video…✌️. .. Dream Theater has a song called, The Great Debate, where the drummer Mike Portnoy, is using 2 hi-hats…inspired by Neil Peart (RIP)…🐐🥁
Geddy Lee hated this song when the first recorded it. Geddy was the Singer and the Keyboardist. Later when it became one of RUSH.s top songs he was humble enough to say "What the hell do I know?????
Try YYZ for an awesome instrumental prog groove, or La Villa Strangiato for an instrumental piece that I consider close to the guitarist's best. 2112 is a long piece with multiple movements but is also one of the best concept narrative albums out there
If you'd like to see some more sick bass, I'd like to recommend Leave That Thing Alone from the Time Machine Tour. Cheers from Toronto! 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🐐 🐐 🐐
I am a musician and a fan of Dream Theatre and Rush. If you are a musician then they are great influences to have. Dream Theatre members are college education musicians with degrees.. book smart. Rush members are self taught.. ‘street smart’. Having a balance of both is important, in my opinion. While it’s important to know notes, scales, time signatures and styles, I feel too much book smarts can limit creativity and natural flow. I learned the basics and let nature take over. Do what you love. Love what you do and be patient, endure.. you are special and not alone. ✌️😎👍
Neil Peart, Rush's lyricist and drummer/percussionist was book smart, IIRC, he had a college degree too. Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee were the high-school drop-outs with street smarts. All were just self-taught natural geniuses with their instruments and composing.
@@mattbaker5757 Neil Peart said himself in multiple interviews that he was pretty much self taught. He would occasionally have lessons to evaluate where he was at. The only continuous education he had was when he changed his style of playing.
As Rush tunes go this isn't even one of their more technically difficult pieces, try Cygnus X-1, Xanadu, La Villa Strangiato or Natural Science if you want to see them really strut their stuff. The greatest power trio and live band ever. 😊
Down the Rabbit Hole you go ! Next up Spirit of Radio, Subdivisions, Xanadu, YYZ, Red Barchetta and if your truly up for a great story and they flat go off LA Villa Strangiato and yhe epic 2112 (year). Hang on for a hell of a ride
This is Rush making their sound accessible in 1981 to listeners who do not listen to prog rock or do not think they would like it, short punchy yet musically deceptively very hard to play well as a musician. The album is in most top 10 prog albums Moving Pictures.
That’s kind of POP Rush. Listen to tracks from the Albums, Caress O Steel (The Necromancer and the Fountain Of Lamneth, Side 1 of the album 2112, the entire A Farewell To Kings and Hemispheres and you’ll most certainly how mush Dream Theaterand so many other progressive, hard rock and metal bands were influenced by this amazing trio.
If you love great live performances. 2 come to mind. Xanadu Exit Stage Left and Working Man Live in Cleveland Time Machine Tour. If you want some sick bass: Headlong Flight

Fan since Caress Of Steel in 1975!! 🤘🎶💜
@@lisaharrison1031 That was my favorite, too!!
You were *that* female fan at their early concerts that they've talked about! 🤣
@@Mike80528 Probably (lisaharrison1031 and I might've shared some air) ... I am old enough ;-) I also contributed 3 sons to the fandom
3 of the most talented musicians (and lyricist) to ever walk the face of the planet.
Thanks for getting to Rush. Lots more great content from this band.

Hi Mr T. Don't be scared to turn the volume up, was really quiet.

The "can't keep up" section was a 7/8 time signature. Kinda nullifies attempts at normal head‐bopping
Makes sense 😂
The most amazing thing about this song is that it was a radio hit. That was weird then, and it's just as bizarre to think about now.
Geddy Lee hated this song when the first recorded it. Geddy was the Singer and the Keyboardist. Later when it became one of RUSH.s top songs he was humble enough to say "What the hell do I know?????

Check out Free Will and Natural Science from 1980's Permanent Wave album.
I personally really enjoy live Rush concert videos. I suggest 'Natural Science', live from the Molson Ampitheatre, 1997.

RIP Neal Peart. Best drummer ever!!
Peart had no swing, only technique. Stewart Copeland of The Police was/is better. Neil Peart loved Copeland and would have told you as much.

Am I missing something, or did you not pay your electric bill?!
