![Rush ~ Xanadu ~ Exit Stage Left [1981] The Wolf HunterZ Reactions](/img/n.gif)
Three guys.......THREE GUYS, making all that music. Guitars, drums, synth and chimes, bells. Absolutely amazing.
gods of music
Yes and they did play all those instruments live as well. I saw them during their Moving Pictures Tour and Getty Lee with his bass still strapped on walked over and played keyboards when it came time and then he backed off and jammed on his bass again without missing a beat. I'm a pretty good bass player myself but I think I would be totally out of my league if I were to have a bass off with Geddy Lee. I would run and hide. LOL
Crucially they usedd Tourus pedals that essentially allowed them to play synth with their feet while doing other things.
RUSH......the greatest three piece band of all time!! Thank you Canada! Thank you RUSH!
On behalf of Canada, you're welcome!
Jeff Kemper one word Cream😊
@@jerrypaul9712 your rite they were big Cream fans
You might just be right...I was going to argue with stuff like ELP, Or CSN, Trio of doom etc but...For prolific quality and sheer volume of great music Rush is indeed the greatest...I don't say that lightly...:)
Jerry Paul Yeah they were influenced by a lot of the 60’s bands like Cream and LED Zeppelin, and others, also they were influenced some 70’s bands likes Yes and others.
You guys are the best married, jammin with Rush, we have been married 40 years and we jam out we live way out in the sticks by a river turn it up and enjoy your life you had to deal with heart breaks but y'all are super couple,and blessed,,from Corpus Christi Texas jammin with Rush
Blessed indeed! Thank you so much for the kind words. Love to you both in CC!
🥰KnR 💕💕👏👏👏
Kel's reaction here is just perfect. This song truly highlights Neil's outerworldly talents on the drums (RIP, Legend)
Geddy Lee was born Gary Lee Weinrib, on July 29, 1953 in Willowdale, outside of Toronto to Morris and Mary Weinrib (née Manya Rubenstein). His parents were holocaust survivors from Poland who had survived the ghetto in their hometown Starachowice, followed by their imprisonments at Auschwitz and later Dachau and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps, during WWII. Alex and Geddy were best friends in Middle and High school. Neil Peart (pronounced "Pier- t") joined the band following the departure of the original drummer John Rutsy
I have been a RUSH fan from the age of 14 and now 57 never get bored with RUSH!
I really get a kick of the new generation seeing or hearing Rush for the first time! For the last 3 months seen alot video's, one song I haven't seen is " BIG MONEY "
Enjoy
You gotta show her the video.. Exit State Left live. Watching them play is a treat in itself.
RUSH - took my son 4 times to see them. What a performance.....every time. Rock in Peace Neil.....
All the percussion here is real.
Lifeson plays 12 and 6 string guitar. Taurus pedals (I think).
Lee plays bass, keyboards, 12 string guitar, Taurus pedals
Peart ...almost the entire percussion section of a musical store.
Neal also uses things a lot of people wouldn't think of, such as plywood for certain sounds.
Geddy plays a 6 string
Alex does indeed play some Taurus :)
@@mrjonesy2112 watch the video , they both strapping 12 string beauties
Geddy plays a bass and 6 string double neck ,not a 12 string
That solo at the end is possibly my all-time favourite. Lerxst is one of the most underrated rock guitarists. So emotive.
Do Natural Science! And Red Barchetta! And one of my faves from the mid-80s, Marathon. And, for complete contrast, Losing It.
I've been a Rush fan my whole life and while I might choose other songs, yours covers the early eras and sounds quite well!
Agree, that solo at the end is possibly my all-time favourite as well. In the top 5 Alex solos!
My 2nd favorite Lerxst solo after LaVilla
Red Barchetta and Kid Gloves are my boys.
The La Villa solo, Xanadu, and Passage to Bangkok on exit stage left album. Incredible!!!
And that's Rush!!!!! I have seen them 9 time first in 74 at my high school. I have seen them perform this song 3x live and this by far is the best. Neil what can you say he has a whole orchestral percussion section there. Geddy and Alex their usual perfection. All GOATS!!!!! The sound you produce is so big. Canada Rocks!!!!!!
She has the look of, WHAT THE HELL HAVE I BEEN MISSING!! Welcome back to Canada my young lady. Never forget the power of good music
YYZ live in Rio is one of the best live videos. You won't believe the crowd.
I love the strings in that rendition of YYZ.
erikk77 thats the clockwork angels tour.
The audience blew me away, wish I was there.
Brazilian crowd... the best!
RUSH, well what can I say. Where would we be without them.
What I love about them is they can play as fast as any band, but choose to only do it in small pieces. They choose complex melodies instead. Deep persons thinking band.
Huge RUSH fan since l saw them in small clubs here in Ontario Canada🇨🇦 when they were unknown .. throughout their 40 years of stadium filling concerts. 3 down to earth guys with enormous talent. Top of the talent tree. AMAZING on record and even more so live. ♥️😎🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
Exactly the same “eargasm” that came over me when I first heard Ged, Al & Neil in 1975. Rush is all I listen to & they will forever be the greatest band that ever was formed. Keep listening because your soul will wrapped in the most wonderful music ever written!! Keep Rushin. I look forward to your next “headlong flight”!! 😃😃😃
Lisa Harrison have you not checked out Tool? Next level just saying...
One of the greatest drumming songs!
Reaction to the actual video would have been epic. Best song live by them captured on video !!
I agree. the trees xanadu combo is a must watch! I just wish the video would have caught all of broon's bane. I saw rush live for the first time and they did it live. Went home and the never listened to side 3 of exit stage left became my obsession for months!
I assumed the video to this live version was to be shown ... it’s a shame your not showing it. The video truly is EPIC. , in fact I’ll go check it out now.
missed a great live performance
Link?
I agree. The video in mortise would have make the video much better. If just to show that Neil did not have this monster of a kit just for the fun of it. Half of it was for this song intro.
You have to watch the Exit Stage left Video with this song to truly appreciate it.
Absolutely!. It's a joy to see them perform. Their complicity is obvious and they truly seems to have so much fun on stage. And we still wonder how only three guys can do so much sound.
Yeh, Neil's kit !!!!
This is why Rush is my favorite band and Xanadu is my favorite Rush tune. Great reaction.
Musician 1: "I play bass!"
Musician 2: "I play keyboards!"
Geddy Lee: Hold my beer,while I'm on stage and play both! Oh, and sing as well. Almost forgot that part.
He would probably hold his beer as well...
Found Rush when I was 16 and still at school as a friends older brother was really into them. Now I'm 54 and still listening to the most awesome trio of all time. To many classics to mention but from the early days Working Man & from a different phase Red Barchetta are always a playlist somewhere.
The drum solo on all the worlds a stage is what made him! Must hear and see it!
That transition after the guitar solo into familiar riff. Golden !!!!!!
My fun Xanadu story.
I'm acquaintances with Geddy's tech and so got into the venue in the afternoon in Vancouver and Las Vegas on the last tour in order to gawk at the gear. I noticed the red doubleneck Rick was in the rotation for both shows :-(
Just before doors in Vegas, I got a text from Skully, "surprise in Xanadu....." I told my friend, also a huge Rush fan and my former boss in his Rush tribute band, and he said "kimonos....?"
Imagine our surprise when Xanadu started and Geddy was playing the black doubleneck.... After the show, Skully texted that "I switched basses in Xanadu because I knew you and *** wanted to see him play the black one." "You can do that?!" "I control everything.....lol"
I think we may have just welcomed kel into the RUSH ARMY ..we are an Elite and dedicated group ..Quite a ride eh ???....WAIT IM GETTING THAT PAIN IN THE ASK FEELING FOR THE NEXT RUSH SONG .....MYSTIC RHYTHMS ..thats it !!!
Steve Kanakanui Quite a ride indeed! Still riding at 47!
Rush are hands down the best rock musicians of all time; masters of their craft. FYI all three Rush members are from Ontario, Canada and attended high school together; none are from British Columbia. All three members have been voted several times over the best in the world at their own respective instruments, by prestigious bodies i.e. such as Guitar Player Magazine. I'm Canadian and grew up in the 70's listening to them, and was fortunate enough to attend their concerts; Rush concerts are an experience to say the least. Great video, well done.
The greatest band of all time! Kel looks like she had an out of body experience there. Red Barchetta and A Passage to Bangkok from Exit...Stage Left should be enjoyed
Exit Stage Left was originally broadcast on MTV and simulcast on local FM stations. One of the first bands to do that.
Nothing hotter than a woman jamming out to Rush. Especially ESL Xanadu! Kudos sir! Next l would suggest 2112 or possibly Fountain of Lamneth.
Nobody's hero is a great one to hear. Great tune and lyrics. Rush!!!!
Listening to Rush, especially live, is like feeling the texture of an auditory fabric. They quite often play 3 separate but complimentary rhythms and at any given time any of the 3 could be the lead instrument.
RUSH my favorite band! Kel's reaction was so much fun to watch ... and Rich - even your reaction sharing a love for this group - super cool guys!
Those bird sounds were actually Alex Lifeson, he's a master bird caller....lol 😂😂😂
I agree with many comments here that if you see them performing this live it adds another level to it.🖖🤘🎸🎹🎤🥁
Kel's reactions are priceless, and I really love how she closes her eyes to fully and properly absorb and appreciate the music! One thing to note though, is Neil's last name is pronounced "Pee-rt" and not "Purt". (Don't sweat it- I pronounced it wrong myself for 5 years!)
Yeah, my mind knows the proper way to say it, but my mouth still says it wrong ....
I think Canadians just pronounce it that way..Peert. Pert is how Americans typically say it I think. Btw what a cool chick😀👍.. I mean beautiful and smart woman!
@@amipro380 it's how Neil wanted his name pronounced (Peer-t). He made a point of it several times in interviews.
If you can't be moved by this, then you're dead, at least your soul is, and watching the live video, it's incredible, that three men can make all that sound.
Jacob's Ladder. RICH! My brother turned me to Rush as well. He used to have a '71 Charger and he always listened to 2112 while he washed the car out in our yard. Good times!
when Kel falls into that cloud of listening and you shake her just a lil like hey babe were jammin here ...its so cute
That’s so awesome to read. Thanks for sharing that moment with us… For real ❤️🥰👊💪🏽🙏🏽
KnR
Taught myself to play drums to Rush over 30 years ago and have been a HUGE fan ever since. Of course Peart is one of my lifelong idols. Great reactions, gang. :-)
It's amazing to watch the video of this live where Peart is doing the bells and xylophone and glockenspiel and wood posts and whatever else they need of a percussive nature.
l felt the same way, Kel. In the 70s when I got turned on to 2112. It had been out for almost a year when I discovered them. I'm a drummer, and as a teen I spent all summer learning 2112 You guys would love Steve Vai "Tender Surrender" Live Amazing and pretty sensual performance Right up Kel's alley lol
This is one of the most satisfying songs to play on the guitar... ever. ! good call!
I LOVE her reactions and facial expressions!!
Working Man !!! Rush !! You guys are fun and real ! Three songs that put together the trilogy called Fear by Rush are mind bending escapes from your mind , research shows not many bands ever attempted such projects due longevity and time , not the case with Rush ! Their extensive repetior enables them to pursue this over several albums , be aware you are not alone not knowing this as many only dabble in Rushology !
There ia a wonderful album called ''Exit stage right'' which is an orchestral rendition of the Exit stage left album. You guys have to check that out !!!!!! Thanks for absorbing all that beautiful music !!!!! Love you guys !!! keep it up
Thank you for the PROPER speechless reaction that Xanadu heard for the first time deserves.
Especially from a musician
You were deprived the video for some reason.
It was Epic watching them perform that
Rush at their absolute best--the height of their powers. This is their epic.
An Evening with Rush (which is what their concerts were called on the tickets) consisted of three hours of solid music with a single fifteen minute break. For a couple of tours the band managed to get a semi-break by having Neil play a drum solo followed by Geddy and Alex playing Resist on acoustic guitars.
Gotta like it when she looks at him and her eyes widen up. You know for sure that she's thinking holy shit! Cool, really cool.
RUSHHHH! Xanadu is about as close to perfection as a song can get
Love this song. Who can write songs like this??! My introduction to Rush in 1980. I was lucky that my car broke n some cool guy gave me a ride playing live ver. of Xanadu and I said this is the sound I've been looking for... I was hooked so I went and bought all of their records. Loved 2112 right away n farewell to kings n perm. Waves ...when I heard spirit of radio I couldn't sleep that night ....
Back in 80s with no Internet as we know n if u lived in a small town etc. You appreciated things a lot more n were hard to come by...
Remember that. ..
BTW there's an old video of Alex with a black finger. Maybe hit it with a hammer cuz he loves carpentry. Anyway it's so funny. Neil says it's healing Alex says the condition is called mental retardation .heh... Geddy says this finger canceled 3 shows.
Then they start to play...
BTW if you want to appreciate Geddys singing/voice watch Rick Beatos analyse of Limelight.
USAMehdi you are right. Hearing rush for the first time is pretty humbling.
I have been watching some of the tribute bands and single musicians posting cover versions of this and other Rush stuff - the talent is not gone !!! People out there have the spark - it's very RARE !!!! but its out there !
I grew-up on Rush! They live up the street from me in Toronto... the band bus was parked in the Catholic school next door and they handed out awesome Halloween candy. My favourite is Subdivisions from the 1982 Signals album. It is a time capsule of life in the GTA ( greater Toronto) in the early 1980s..
This is my favorite rush song. It hits every time I hear it 🔥🔥🤙🏼🤙🏼
She looks like the best friend you'll ever have...
That is so true. She is and I treasure her every second of every day. Thank you for being here @Cuisined!!!
not just bass and keyboards but bass pedals as well and sing fuck man is amazing.
One of the greatest live performances ever recorded. Watch the video for this. It boggles the mind.
Canada's greatest export :-)
Exit...Stage Left is the best Rush album. And I've listened them and loved them all since 80's. Got familiar with the older stuff a much later, but still that's the record!
There is only 2 LP's by Rush which have "Superior" status over all of there LP's...
2112 & Moving Pictures,
@@Johnny-wp8pw A great opinion! My vote goes for Moving Pictures. 2112 is quit ok.
Three of the greatest musicians to have ever lived. Love Rush and your honesty.
Kel as musically as you are, it's great that you love the progressive rock area and as far as I'm concerned that will be still rocking 20-30 years from now love you guys
This was my first Rich-n-Kel video. Hey Rich, I don't want to be inappropriate, but Kel's reactions to some of the rhythm switch ups tell me all I need to know.... You lucky dog, you.
Geddy and Alex are from Toronto and Neil is from St. Catharines. Thanks for reacting to the best collection of 3 musicians in rock history.
Alex is born in Fernie, British Columbia. His familiy move in Toronto when he was very young.
Alex and Geddy went to the same high school as my Mum!
She gets Rush. She gets it! Keep her forever!!!!
Awesome! I was there, Los Angeles Forum, June 11, 1981, floor seats. Seeing these guys perform Xanadu, with the stage lighting effects and back screen, Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee both sporting double neck guitars, totally epic. Then, Los Angeles Forum, August 1, 2015, this time with my son, last live performance they'll likely ever do, and they came out with the double necks. Bucket list item complete. Seeing Kel's reaction is heartwarming.
Yes!!!!!!!!! Such a cool visual and description!
Couple of Rush suggestions: “By-Tor and the Snow Dog” from their live “All The Worlds a Stage Album. Then “Cygnus-X1” from “A Farewell to Kings,” followed up with “Hemispheres.” The Rush mini epics are extraordinary, mood invocation masterpieces. Alternately, “2112” is incredible also. These are best taken in, initially listening, then followed up with listening while reading the lyrics and story notes.
Saw the last tour with my then 14yo son. His second and sadly last Rush show.
My first was 1982 Signals and saw every tour after that.
Really special to share with your kids.
My son loves them and we lost it seeing Jacobs Ladder.
Doug Davidson, that’s awesome. I first saw them in 1980, Permanent Waves tour. Saw them consecutively up to Signals, then joined the Air Force. Saw them with my wife in Pensacola, Power Windows. Finally, for my sons birthday, saw what turned out to be the very last show ever. Had to fly down from Alaska to do it.
@@darrenvanderwilt1258 awesome story. What a Dad and son trip.
Appreciate your service. My 21 yo son is thinking about Air Force or Air Force Reserve. He is about to finish junior college.
This is from a different show than the regular one you see from this tour - just shows the consistency of their quality
I am guessing it must be amazing to be a schooled musician, then hear a RUSH song for the first time and know what is being played. I was just a self taught drummer who didn't have a clue about music theory or any of that, but RUSH, (and Neil specifically), encouraged me to learn how to play. Thanks to them and how their music effected me, I played drums and sang in club bands for over 20 years. Looking back now I miss Neil and I'm sad I will never see RUSH on stage again, but the times I spent on stage performing were the best times of my life. Thanks for this vid, I took me back down the road of some wonderful memories...
I love how you kiss to end each video! You two are awesome!! That’s genuine love between you two, I wish that upon the world!
A timeless tune from a timeless band! How many band's does the drummer write the songs! Neil Peart, the greatest ever. Alex, one of most underrated guitar players Ever! Geddy, bass,keyboard & peddles all at the same time!
Lyrically based on the poem, "Kubla Khan" By Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
ALSO: Kel's reaction when it kicked in was pretty much all our reactions at that moment the first time. lol Too funny - too true.
Hi guys, if you have Netflix you must watch the Rush documentary:
Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage
it is fantastic, you will absolutely fall in love with these three guys
Buy a copy... worth it for rush fans.
Thank you! Gonna order it tonight!
Too late for me. Fell in love with these guys decades ago. I know real talent when I hear it!
Rich, Geddy is actually from Toronto. Alex was born in B C.. If you haven't seen it, there's a great documentary called Beyond the Lighted Stage that you would both like.
Kel=best reaction to RUSH. Coolest woman on the interwebs +1
Excellent! Reminds me of Yes. Love them! Thank you friends!!
Back when this came out, I had a 3 piece band, and we played nothing but Rush. None of us could sing, so we just did everything as instrumentals. We learned it all by ear and did a really fantastic job of it. It was all for our own enjoyment and really made us all become much better musicians. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Check out the other greatest of their live albums, a show of hands. I was fortunate enough to live in a city where they came every tour, so I saw every show from 2112 to a show of hands. Thats gotta be 15 to 20 years. My all time favorite progressive rock band (well tied for #1 with Dream Theater).
my fav Rush song....listened 1000's of times....enjoy it like no other....I hope to enjoy this song as much as Kel just did though....lol...fantastic stuff....her facial expressions on all the musical magic is what ,makes me watch the reaction stuff....keep up the great work....
Kel needs to see the boys and their joyous interaction. How about the "official" Limelight vid, the one shot during the studio recording at Le Studio back in the day? It really captures their essence and is one of their top tunes on just about anybody's list.
June 4 1979 Geleen Holland. The Pink Pop festival. My first Rush gig. Not sure about them at this stage, but this came up 3rd song in the set. And I was completely blown away and became a Rush fan. Had it on bootleg for years, but it's now officially available on the 40th anniversary Hemispheres cd. The differences- mainly Geddy's bass runs-are subtle but make it still the best version I've heard of this amazing song.
I saw this live in Detroit ( well, The Palace ) back in the mid 90's Amazing ! Geddy on Double neck, Taurus and a double rack of about 7 Keyboards ! Oh - and singing ! I just stood there watching from right above him thinking WTF ???? :) NOT MEMOREX !!
Always glad to see someone discover Rush. I've been a fan for nearly forty years, seen them dozens of time live, but I'm a little bit jealous of someone that gets to hear their great music for the very first time. My recommendation for a great song to react to would be Freewill off of Permanent Waves. That solo section... blows me away every time I listen to it.
“By-tor and the Snow Dog” live from the “All the Worlds a Stage” album
Trust me on this!
Absolutely, sir. In fact, I'm going there right now! I will always love this band, possibly more than any other. Greetings from Exeter, UK.
They put on 3.5 hour shows here in Montreal.
Rush have had so much influence on other artists, a lot don't even realise it.
I love watching you, Kel. Looked like you had an eargasm at the end.
Paul Franco Fair to say almost..... 😉
I've see Rush once....on their "Counterparts" tour...once again at The Forum in LA......consummate musicians....great show!
Three of the most elegant geniuses of music found each other and was able to produce music that only they could imagine. Rush! Nothing else needs to be said. Kel's reaction when Geddy begins to sing says it all!
"RUSH... MY FAVORITE GROUP, SINCE 1975! THANK YOU KEL AND RICH. - FROM BRAZIL!" - M.S.C.
During the intro to this song the loving looks you were sharing with each other says everything about the power of music. It's why I follow you. LOVE
Happy Birthday!! Great jam! RUSH and XANADU and La Villa Strangiato for sure are masterpieces...Kel...so happy you finally experienced it! ✌💜😎🇺🇸🇨🇦🍷🍺
Now would be a perfect time for that visual reaction to Exit Stage Left you promised Kel🤞🏻🤞🏻
I was trying to go to bed when i stumbled on this vid.... Kels reaction is ******AWESOME****** Thanks for posting...Good nite.
Check out their final song on their final album. "The garden". I would recommend the lyrics too. Perfect ending to a perfect band. The buildup in that song is incredible, with an amazing guitar solo. You won't be disappointed
Such an epic song. Definition of epic song.
Rush, as I said is my first love.
same here, forever and always.
Hey Kel-n-Rich this is one of my favorite Rush tracks, i feel lucky to have seen them live twice, first during the hold your fire tour 1988 ? then years later on their 30th anniversary tour, what an awesome band! 🤘
I agree, the best. Thanks for playing you guys.
Hi 👋guys started watching your videos, 1st off my heart ❤goes out for the loss of your son 😢💔may he RIP 🙏, I'm sure he is up in heaven conversing with Neil Peart RIP 🙏, BEEN A Rush fan since there 1st album, seen them live since there Farewell to Kings 🤴tour and myself been a percussionist for about 30 years, Neil has always been an inspiration for me to keep going and growing I enjoy watching thanks 😊a bunch ❤

Nice..
Man I couldn't get a hot chik to a Rush concert for free here in Seattle,and there you are lucky guy.
Welcome to the eighties. An amazing decade.
