"That Drummer" Is and will always be one of the Greatest all time bro!And also he wasn't just a Drummer,he was a percussionist,songwriter and all around amazing Canadian and is dearly missed and always will be.RIP Neil!
This was filmed at Le Studio, a recording studio in the Laurentian Mountains near the town of Morin-Heights, Quebec, Canada built in 1972. It became known as Rush's Abbey Road due to the fact that they recorded multiple albums there. Other notable acts to record there were The Police (and later Sting solo), The Bee Gees, Chicago, David Bowie, Cat Stevens, Nazareth, Bryan Adams, and Asia. At the time its recording equipment was cutting edge, the SSL4000 B. I believe there were only 4 studios world wide that used the same equipment, Abbey Road Studios in London, Le Studio, Virgin Records' Townhouse Studios in London, and Tocano Studio in Copenhagen.
One of the best drummers who ever lived. Period. I am so lucky my friend convinced me to go and see them live in Helsinki, Finland. I will always have that memory of seeing Rush live.
My younger brothers friend lent me Farewell To Kings in 1978, and I didn't like Geddys voice. Especially the scream at the end of Cignus X-1. I ignored Rush until 1984 when my brother turned me on to Permanent Waves through Grace UP, and I knew I was missing out on a lot of great music. Been into them ever since.
@@charleswagner2984 Yeah, that is probably about as shrill as Geddy Lee ever got. You nailed it with Permanent waves through GUP is probably the era where Geddy's voice was most melodic and least pitchy.
@@norwegianblue2017 I've been to about 30 concerts by the time I saw Rush on the p/g tour, the loudest concert to date. Missed Power Windows, Roll The Bones, and Counterparts, then saw T4E. That show is the loudest concert in my life, and it was f#@€'n great. Went to all the rest of their tours except the last tour because I thought it was a greatest hits tour. If I knew they were playing Losing It, I would have gone to that. Get all the live videos they have available. They're all great concert films.
This song is about Neil's uncomfortably with becoming famous. He was a shy and private person and all the fandom was embarrassing for him. This like Tom Sawyer is filmed at Le Studio in Morin Heights, Quebec, Canada If you react to April Wine I like to rock you will see what it looks like in the summer. There were many famous bands that recorded there. Unfortunately, it is no longer there.
You are correct on both counts, Rush's music is so complex and layered it takes a level of maturity to appreciate it. Also there lyrics are so deep and filled with meaning that the more mature you are the more you appreciate what they are saying. Secondly, you are correct they are nerds self professed nerds. Gene Simmons of KISS, in an interview has talked about when RUSH was there opening act on a tour back in the 70's, after the show instead of partying they would go back to their rooms and read. Another song of theirs you should check out is Subdivisions. It speaks to their nerdom. 🙂 I am not putting them down i love RUSH, I have loved them since the first time i saw them in concert on the SIgnals tour in 1982 when i was 16 years old. My love an appreciation for them as a band has only grown over the years. Three great musicians, three great friends, and most importanly, three of the best people to ever life. As a Shy Kid growing up who played the drums (badly), Neil was my hero, hard to believe he has been gone for over 4 years now. LIke all RUSH fans I felt a shadow across my heart when i heard he had passed.
From a Gary to Geddy your one of the most talented musician of all time! No one touches your talent on bass, keyboards, and singing! You are the definition of Unique and RUSH is not RUSH without your playing and vocals! To quote the movie: I LOVE YOU MAN! Alex and Neil as well!! This is my essay to people who may not know RUSH or who Neil was professionally and his contributions to the art of drumming and lyrical writing! Enjoy! RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR! With heart felt admiration and sincerity! Gary Geddy Lee - Bass guitars, Oberheim polyphonic; OB-X; Mini-Moog; and Taurus pedal Synthesizers, vocals Alex Lifeson - Six and twelve string electric and acoustic guitars, Taurus Pedals Neil Peart - Drums kit, timbales, gong bass drums, orchestra bells, glockenspiel, wind chimes, bell tree, tubular bells, crotales, cowbells, plywood, wood blocks, triangles, tympani, and Gong! Alex Lifeson: RUSH guitarist and Guru Extraordinaire! The HEART ❤️ AND SOUL OF RUSH! THE FUNNIEST MAN ON THE PLANET AND GREATEST SPEECH GIVER OF ALL TIME!!! ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME: BLAH…BLAH…BLAH! HATS 🎩 OFF TO ALEX LIFESON 😎😎😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎸🎸🎸 We lost Neil Peart on January 7th 2020 to brain cancer! Geddy Lee called him: THE PROFESSOR because he had a verbal and musical vocabulary that I would put against anyone including Beethoven and Albert Einstein all this from a guy who didn’t graduate high school! Not only was he the drummer-percussionist of RUSH but he also wrote the Lyrics! RIP PROFESSOR
NEIL PEART’S NARRATION ON EXIT STAGE LEFT DVD: There’s a tremendous ambiance about a concert hall…to even before a band starts playing…from the time the doors open..this place feels electric you know! That’s one of the things I like most about the road that feeling of standing in the hall when the doors open feel the excitement bursting into the hall. I must admit I feel very comfortable playing live a lot! The song satisfies and does have a modern day rocker persona about it. A very modern urban setting for that Tom Sawyer mentality and a very carefree stride and a very self-possessed kind of air. Xanadu: The question we tend to ask the most often is WHAT IF? I think of you had to simplify a motivation or simplify a moving force in our music that would probably…suffice! Red Barchetta: Well it seems to me a car is one of those handy metaphors and volumes have been written about the sociological and cultural impact of the car and what it represents but it also has a very fundamental sensual feel and it’s a metaphor for sexuality and freedom. We’ve certainly tried to guide everything by the principles that were interested in and the freedom of choice and the material we’ve been playing and expression of music that we found to be exciting would excite other people as well. If the songwriting is important and playing really well on stage is important it’s gonna make the difference between feeling good or not feeling good when I walk off stage feeling that I played as well as I can or as close to well as I can then I feel very satisfied and good for what you have done. I think there’s a very strong relation not generally recognized between drums and between words as the rhythmic structure and the phrasing and rhythm of verse is especially related and rooted in the same syncopation as drums are the same patters of thinking that overall work for me as words as well as drum beats.
They are nerd musicians! And they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. True masters of the transition and all the other musical skills that makes a band great! Rush!!
Le Studio is one of the most notorious and legendary recording studio in the northern hemispheres. It was located in Morin Heights Quebec in Canada. So many great names recorded there, musicians, bands as well as renown producers such as Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois.
Not a cabin. That is the Famous Le Studio, where many iconic albums were recorded by Rush, the Police, April Wine, Ted Nugent and countless others. At that time, it had the most advanced mixing desk ever built. Sadly, it was abandoned, vandalized, grafitti'd and arsoned. But to many, that is sacred ground and many visit the site to this day.
Hey Guys, Glad you enjoyed Rush,life long fan! heard these guys on a FM Radio from Boston, 14 or 15 yrs old, Live in Nova Scotia, Canada! RIP Neal Peart! "The Professor" Great reaction video.
And the Drummer is one of the best lyric writer , he does not write about sex , drugs , love , he writes about life , great story writer and life writer , Rush has an extremely deep Rabbit hole of songs , Always try and get the lyrics it’s this band
Dont wanna tell yaall how to do you but with a song like this, you miss out not focusing on the message; Neil Peart (drummer) was a fantastic lyricist. With some bands youre not missing much but Rush usually has something to say worth listening to, imo and with all due respect 🙂
Yes,as other people have pointed out, that was Le Studio, a very famous world class studio back in the day. It is about an hours drive north of the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada ( I put Canada even though the French government of Quebec considers it a country, and are constantly making laws to wipe out the English language, and preserve the French language and culture. ) and, NO, Rush are not nerds, why do you say that? because they have talent, discipline, and integrity, and are more interested in writing good music than playing the rock star image, they're FKN cool !!!
Recorded at LeStudio in Morin-Heights, QC. Getty Lee -Lead Vocals, Bass Guitar, Electric Piano; Alex Lifeson -Lead Guitar (voted by many of his peers as one of the greatest guitar players of all time); and lastly the Great Neil Peart on Drums, considered to be one of the greatest drummers of all time R.I.P.
The greatest rock band of all time. You should check out “subdivision” official music video. Great lyrics and just simply an amazing sound at its finest like so many that they’ve done. Great reaction and girl is gorgeous and to die for ❤
I was about 13 when RUSH was new, the music from then was pretty hard simple rock, They progressed as they grew older and also said that they couldn't believe some of the 'crap' as Geddy Lee called it from some of the early albums. But we still loved them and stayed with them through the decades
Rush is one of those bands that no matter where i go I always run into one person who is a fan of Rush, just one, never run into 2 people always just one.
Nice pick, I'm glad you like it and I would humbly encourage you to feature a few more Rush songs. Tom Sawyer, Free Will, Spirit of Radio to name a few.
Hehe Glad you loved this :) Rush had to make their own record company in order to produce 2112 (Anthem Records) because they all said the songs were too long for radio play:) Here is a fan based link to side one of Rush 2112 :) The story and music will amaze you I promise :) ua-cam.com/video/w5jwxrTqoEA/v-deo.html Peace and Love from Canada eh :) sorry :) R.I.P Neil :(
The word "limelight" has nothing to do with the fruit; it actually refers to the mineral lime, which would be ignited to provide stage lighting in Victorian times before the widespread use of electric lights, from which it came to mean "the centre of attention." In addition to Neil's aforementioned introverted nature, his difficulties in coping with life in the spotlight were also partly related to anxiety issues stemming from a near-drowning incident at the age of 10, causing a constant, overwhelming urge to escape; he would often ride his motorcycle from one tour stop to the next, where he could travel in relative anonymity, and he would often high-tail it off the stage at the end of a show, headed for the quiet solitude of his dressing room. Another song that IMO perfectly captures what Neil went through is "Subdivisions," which was based on his experiences in high school, which I think were beautifully captured in the official music video. Rest in peace Professor. 🥁 🥁 🐐 🐐
"They were on the radio a lot" - you are thinking of ANY other band. LOL. Other than Tom Sawyer, Closer to the Heart, and Signals (with the occasional playing of Limelight), Rush barely got radio play.
Has anyone on UA-cam ever not reacted positively to rush….and even more…not reacted positively to any of their songs. No one is ever like “nope, not for me”
great reaction but u guys drifted during the solo and suddenly nerds are r the subject lol. you didn't replay it, u miss whats really the highlight of the song, play it again for yourself, its really fantastic. with rush they try to put emotion in the solos, not just write a technical composition only, so that is great quality in writing to pay attention to well wishes good comments
"Who does this"? (Re "complexity") Well, let me tell you who was even more complex than Rush, and were doing it before Rush. KING CRIMSON PINK FLOYD EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER YES GENESIS GENTLE GIANT VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR KANSAS Etc
"That Drummer" Is and will always be one of the Greatest all time bro!And also he wasn't just a Drummer,he was a percussionist,songwriter and all around amazing Canadian and is dearly missed and always will be.RIP Neil!

My favorite lady listening to my favorite band. What could be better?
Le Studio is one of the most notorious and legendary recording studio in the northern hemispheres. It was located in Morin Heights Quebec in Canada. So many great names recorded there, musicians, bands as well as renown producers such as Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois.
Nerd musicians. YES! These guys were your favorite band's favorite band. Complex and technically difficult music that was still radio friendly.
Not a cabin. That is the Famous Le Studio, where many iconic albums were recorded by Rush, the Police, April Wine, Ted Nugent and countless others. At that time, it had the most advanced mixing desk ever built. Sadly, it was abandoned, vandalized, grafitti'd and arsoned. But to many, that is sacred ground and many visit the site to this day.
🤣They are nerds-BUT THEY ROCK HARDER THAN ANYONE🤘🖖✌️🥁🎸🎤🎹
This, and Tom Sawyer were filmed at Le Studio in Morin Heights, Quebec. Rush recorded numerous albums there.
Good work you two, I wish Rush were immortal. Thankyou both.
Rush are legends here in Canada!
Rush is the greatest rock band to ever come out of Canada
Agree. Canada has produced some incredible rock bands.
Great job. A huge body of work to react to. Excellent!
I love Rush since 1992 here in Australia.
This Studio was just outside of Montreal, not exactly in the wilderness 🤭
LONG LIVE RUSH ❤
Hey Guys, Glad you enjoyed Rush,life long fan! heard these guys on a FM Radio from Boston, 14 or 15 yrs old, Live in Nova Scotia, Canada! RIP Neal Peart! "The Professor" Great reaction video.
I started listening to the as a teenager and Signals is still my favourite album
And the Drummer is one of the best lyric writer , he does not write about sex , drugs , love , he writes about life , great story writer and life writer , Rush has an extremely deep Rabbit hole of songs , Always try and get the lyrics it’s this band
You will communicate better if you delete those spaces before the commas and put a period or exclamation mark at the end of your sentences.
RIP Neil Peart, The Professor.🤘🎸
Often it’s said Rush is your favorite bands favorite band the musicians musician
Magical time at Le Studio..Rush on!
Yes they were the band for NERDS that's why I loved them.
Beautiful song, Epic Band
Dont wanna tell yaall how to do you but with a song like this, you miss out not focusing on the message; Neil Peart (drummer) was a fantastic lyricist. With some bands youre not missing much but Rush usually has something to say worth listening to, imo and with all due respect 🙂
Tuomas Holopainen and Nightwish have a similar approach but I Finland!🤘🎸

Quebec is still a province of Canada, albeit one pampered and spoiled by the federal government.
There are 2 types of people in the world. Those who love Rush and those who are wrong!! LOL!!
I know that peart had a cabin in Canada with like at least 20acres or more and they would send him the music and he would write the lyrics
Recorded at LeStudio in Morin-Heights, QC. Getty Lee -Lead Vocals, Bass Guitar, Electric Piano; Alex Lifeson -Lead Guitar (voted by many of his peers as one of the greatest guitar players of all time); and lastly the Great Neil Peart on Drums, considered to be one of the greatest drummers of all time R.I.P.

🤗 More Rush! Cool Beans! 🥰🐰
RIP Professor.
the video was filmed in a Quebec recording studio .
Watch Neil Pearts drum solo video!!!
You two r funny. Rush rules
Rush totally does!
That was Le' Studio in Canada. They recorded Moving Pictures there. Sadly, it burned down and is no longer around.
Rush is one of those bands that no matter where i go I always run into one person who is a fan of Rush, just one, never run into 2 people always just one.
Nice pick, I'm glad you like it and I would humbly encourage you to feature a few more Rush songs. Tom Sawyer, Free Will, Spirit of Radio to name a few.
Every single song on their Moving Pictures album is a masterpiece. You should check out The Camera Eye on the B-side next.
actually they rock out in kimonos
I was a Rush fan when I was an 18 year old stoner.
Hehe Glad you loved this :) Rush had to make their own record company in order to produce 2112 (Anthem Records) because they all said the songs were too long for radio play:) Here is a fan based link to side one of Rush 2112 :) The story and music will amaze you I promise :) ua-cam.com/video/w5jwxrTqoEA/v-deo.html Peace and Love from Canada eh :) sorry :) R.I.P Neil :(

Do RUSH live versions when available
Filmed in Le Studio Quebec Canada
Easily my favorite Rush song.
That sound you heard was a hanging note,and its believed to still be hanging.
"They were on the radio a lot" - you are thinking of ANY other band. LOL. Other than Tom Sawyer, Closer to the Heart, and Signals (with the occasional playing of Limelight), Rush barely got radio play.
They did get more radio play on FM radio.
🏆🏆🏆🏆!
Has anyone on UA-cam ever not reacted positively to rush….and even more…not reacted positively to any of their songs. No one is ever like “nope, not for me”
"That sound" is Alex's guitar having an orgasm...again.
Nerd musicians, i dont think so. But you are entitled to your opinion.
great reaction but u guys drifted during the solo and suddenly nerds are r the subject lol. you didn't replay it, u miss whats really the highlight of the song, play it again for yourself, its really fantastic. with rush they try to put emotion in the solos, not just write a technical composition only, so that is great quality in writing to pay attention to well wishes good comments
