When they do this live Geddy is singing, playing the bass and synth pedals all at the same time. Neil said he never got tired of playing this song because it was so difficult, his right hand is going full throttle the whole time, that he always got a sense of satisfaction whenever he played it well.
Rush = Genius; they make mind blowing music. Regardless if they are a 3 piece band; they're better than most 4 or 5 or.....whatever piece band out there.
"Working man" Live in Cleveland and or "The Garden" Live Both must watch IMO. So much more over 4o years but these be in your lane for sure. Cheers!. Thanks guys!
Neil Perth on the drums he passed away a couple of years ago. He was definitely one of the best ever.... Man these guys were a high school dance band seen the play alot of dances around SW Ontario.
Geddy sings and plays: Bass guitar 6 string acoustic guitar (Resist live) Moog Taurus pedal board Keyboards On stage he could be seen playing more than one at a time. I've seen him singing, playing the pedals with his feet, the mini Moog with his hands all whilst playing a double neck 4 string bass and 12 string electric guitar (Xanadu). I'm really enjoying the reactions to the music that has been the soundtrack to my life and times 🤘💯 Tioraidh an-drasta 🏴✌️
It was the song that put them on the map forever. These three guys are really the ultimate perfect storm of any rock band in the music industry. Incredible genius behind the making
It's so nice seeing the younger generation appreciate the awesome music of yesterday. There are so many amazing bands and subgenras of rock/metal from the 70s, 80s, 90s you're in for a wild journey✌
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
This is Le Studio where Rush recorded their best-selling album, Moving Pictures from 1981. Tom Sawyer is considered their #1 song. Please react to Witch Hunt from this album.
2112 boys, 2112!!! 23 min of an insane story, guitar solo after guitar solo, insane vocals and base lines from Geddy and Neil going OFF on the drums… for 23 min!!!! Lol lol Try to do the comic book version of the song and it will help you to navigate the story line of the song 🤘🔥
@@mdu2112 I only recommend comic book version as for those who are just falling into the Rush rabbit hole don’t fully get the story line behind the song, kinda helps them as they get lost in the sauce of a 23 min gem 🤘
One of my favorite ways to get someone into Rush is to show them the live video of “Natural Science” and/or “La Villa Strangiato” off the “Rush in Rio” dvd. “La Villa…” includes a rant by Alex towards the end of the song that showcases their silliness and humor in the midst of MAYBE the best version of that song. Great reaction guys. You have a good thing going and I think you’re going to gain a ton of subs if you just stay at it. There are a few bands that have rabid followers who love to spread the word so since reaction channels feed into that emotion for people it’s a smart move to feature them to a degree. Rush is one of them. Tool is another. Good luck!
Great review of a great song - you've got a new subscriber 🙂 The post below mentions how awesome it is to see young people getting into the music we grew up with and I concur.
Great reaction, I'm a Rush fan till 1980 and their the best progressive rock band. Ok answer your question: Geddy Lee plays bass, bass pedal, synth, Korg Synth and Roland pedal synth also guitar in certain song to help Alex. Alex Lifeson plays all guitars and pedal synth. Neil Peart plays drums and percusion also wrote the lyrics. Special note, Rush never uses others musician or computers gadgets un live performances. And sound the same as studio versions. Excelent reaction
this was RUSH in a period of transition; from long, epic songs to shorter, just as epic songs. It still has the time signature shifts of earlier RUSH. This song was one of the ones on the Guitar Hero video game series.
I drove 6 hours from Kansas City to Topeka Kansas in a blizzard on an interstate road that was closed shortly after I got on it to go see these guys live! Well worth it! I love Rush!
I know I'm not a Patreon member, and therefore my recommendations probably don't carry very much weight anymore, but I'll once again recommend you check out "Finding My Way", from their first album (STUDIO version). Also harder than their prog rock stuff. Just a suggestion. I personally think it'd make an excellent reaction vid...and both it and this are very playlist worthy.
Yeah I've heard that comment before. The lyrics in this song are top notch . Reminds of " never to walk these caves of ice" XAN---A---DOOO. oooooooo. Pearts lyrics so literary and intellectual.
Hey guys, here are a few recommendations I think you'll like. The Who - "Behind Blue Eyes," "Baba O'Riley," Love Reign O'er Me." Humble Pie - "30 Days in the Hole, " "Black Coffee," "Hot and Nasty." Bad Company - "Bad Company," "Ready for Love," "Rock Steady." Supertramp - "School," "Take the Long Way Home," "The Logical Song." The James Gang - "Country Fever," "Funk #49," "Laguna Salada," "The Bomber." Creedence Clearwater Revival - "Bayou Country," "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," "Run Through the Jungle" The Police - "Driven to Tears" (live in Frejus), "Spirits in the Material World," "Murder by Numbers." The should get you started :)
969 is my favorite number', anyways''''''' in todays society I can actually believe that 2 young people have never heard of Rush or any classic rock music, because everything is going so lame nowdays''.
As I said before just subbed so I'm making the rounds 😂. This song is fire live. When I saw them live they freaking rocked both times. RIP to the Professor Neil . Glad I got to meet this band when I was a kid. They made me want to really experience the music they created. I'f you like the beat of this try Battlescar which is a collaboration with another Canadian band Max Webster. Great reaction as usual my friends and Peace out ✌️ ☮️
Stumbling across this video may have turned me gay. You're both adorable. Seriously though, I really appreciate your approach to reactions and open mindedness. Keep up the good work guys.
Now watch pink floyd comfortably numb pulse concert. Tool sober live at the Reading festival. Meatloaf paradise by the dashboard lights live. Got a million more songs and videos, if you're interested.
Easily my favorite Rush song, Radio back in 1981 didn't treat kindly to Rush's sound as this fantastic song only reached 44 on the billboard charts.....they missed a real classic
Well, this IS one of their more popular songs! Geddy Lee plays keyboards and bass....he plays pedal bass when he's playing keyboards and pedal keyboards when he'd playing bass, haha!
Hi. So, been Rush for long time. And what gets me about TSawyer and Limelight is in fact they're so tight. The drums are tight and crisp. Guitar... You can tell how "learned" everyone is and over the years has gotten better, but even these early Rush videos these 3 gentlemen are bad-ass!!
It seems you guys are going for the VIEW songs. Maybe you want to listen to songs like Natural science, Jacob's ladder and other lesser viewed songs to get a deeper understanding of the band. Stay clear of the usual requests and most watched videos because they are not necessarily representative of what Rush brought to the table musically and lyrically. Don't miss out bros!!!!!
Hi friends, if you're gonna be listening to more tunes like this, you gotta get yourself some quality headphones. And listen to the music on both ears. One-sided airpods just don't cut it for bands like Rush, and believe me it just comes in so much clearer. The production levels on this type of stuff is off the charts, and goes mostly unnoticed with this setup. Looking forward to more great reactions!
Just think boys I was 13 years old my older brother took me to my first concert it was Rush now I'm a 59 year-old man and I have every one of their albums listen to their music daily it's great to see the younger generation appreciate their musicianship
FYI: Geddy does sing, play bass, keyboards and sometimes rhythm guitar. The foot pedals are so that he can play synthesizer notes while playing bass, and he also has bass pedals so that he can do the opposite, and play keyboards while tapping a bass line with his feet. The bongos are just there in the studio (Le Studio in Quebec, now just rubble) so that those recording vocals there have something to do to offset boredom during the long breaks between "takes". You'll notice Geddy is using the bongos to hold his ashtray. Lol.
Geddy Lee is also playing Taurus Bass Pedals with his feet to play bass parts while he is also playing keyboards, also Obermeyer keyboard and mini moog, 6 string Rickenbacker bass guitar and Rickenbacker double neck bass.
the notes, riffs, fills are so clean and high you could eat a sandwich between each note - it is just clean and smart, so full - these musicians are never messy - always pure and authentic in their genius -
This is the most animated I have seen the twin on the right. Me thinks he is quite cerebral. 🇨🇦🔥🔥🔥🌟👍💖
One of the greatest drummers of all time
Absolutely
Funny as F!! Dudes jumped in the first note!! Great song! Lots of great Rush!
When they do this live Geddy is singing, playing the bass and synth pedals all at the same time. Neil said he never got tired of playing this song because it was so difficult, his right hand is going full throttle the whole time, that he always got a sense of satisfaction whenever he played it well.
Rush were considered Progressive Rock. Masterpiece indeed.
"Is It Playlist Worthy?"
I have yet to hear a Rush song that isn't playlist worthy
Quite simply three geniuses at the peak of their creativity and masters of their art.
The Rush “jump scare” when that first note hits… great reaction!
🤭 Wait until you hear the Intro for 2112..... 😁🥰🐰
My soundtrack of 7th grade!🎹🥁🎸🎙🎶🤘👊
If you like 'Heavy Rush', you need to listen to their song "Stick It Out" - heavy Tool-like sound. :P
Driven is pretty heavy too.
Rush = Genius; they make mind blowing music. Regardless if they are a 3 piece band; they're better than most 4 or 5 or.....whatever piece band out there.

Excellent guys, now if you want to see Rush turn 20+ minutes into what feels like 5, you need to do 2112. Masterpiece.
Geddy sings and plays:
Bass guitar
6 string acoustic guitar (Resist live)
Moog Taurus pedal board
Keyboards
On stage he could be seen playing more than one at a time. I've seen him singing, playing the pedals with his feet, the mini Moog with his hands all whilst playing a double neck 4 string bass and 12 string electric guitar (Xanadu).
I'm really enjoying the reactions to the music that has been the soundtrack to my life and times 🤘💯
Tioraidh an-drasta 🏴✌️
Rush makes songs in 7 time that are so accessible you don't even notice it's in 7 time.
Not just were they talented they were great friends that lasted until now. Not many bands can keep their legacy this long.
Definitely playlist worthy.
All that epic sound from 3 dudes
Just frigging legendary
Geddy plays keyboard (competent), bass (world class), foot pedals, 12 string guitar, and sings lead.
It was the song that put them on the map forever. These three guys are really the ultimate perfect storm of any rock band in the music industry. Incredible genius behind the making
Ahh one of the staple songs of rock! Great for any generation. Timeless! Great job guys 👍✌️
It's so nice seeing the younger generation appreciate the awesome music of yesterday. There are so many amazing bands and subgenras of rock/metal from the 70s, 80s, 90s you're in for a wild journey✌

Rush brings the goosebumps!!!
It took me long enough to see them perform LIVE but I finally did in 2009. Cincy, OH .
Glad y'all dig'm !!
Now here is some of the BEST MUSIC FROM CANADA.... LOOK UP TRAGICALLY HIP TOO ANOTHER GREAT BAND.
Rush says this their signature song. ❤ It's a blast watching some young fellows learn about Rush.
Changes aren't permanent, but change is. What a great line!
Probably my favorite line in all of Rush’s songs.
NEXT RUSH?
"YYZ"
LIVE FROM RIO
To SEE, HEAR & FEEL what it's like when 170,000 BRAZILLIANS SING ALONG to a SONG that HAS NO LYRICS!!
I bought moving pictures when i was 16!!! Banger album
Rush = The awesome band that keeps on giving...
This is Le Studio where Rush recorded their best-selling album, Moving Pictures from 1981. Tom Sawyer is considered their #1 song. Please react to Witch Hunt from this album.
Geddy Lee has said that he honestly thought that Tom Sawyer was the worst song on the Moving Pictures album
(Rush - Limelight) - I promise you're gonna really like it...
Reacted to Limelight! Check it out on the channel!!
2112 boys, 2112!!! 23 min of an insane story, guitar solo after guitar solo, insane vocals and base lines from Geddy and Neil going OFF on the drums… for 23 min!!!! Lol lol
Try to do the comic book version of the song and it will help you to navigate the story line of the song 🤘🔥
I recommend studio version for a for listen of 2112.
@@mdu2112 I only recommend comic book version as for those who are just falling into the Rush rabbit hole don’t fully get the story line behind the song, kinda helps them as they get lost in the sauce of a 23 min gem 🤘
Keep in mind. 3 man band
Tom Sawyer is only song I like of Rush... just for me..

You can tell a good RUSH song when you change time signatures and keys back a forth a few times. Legends.
Great review of a great song - you've got a new subscriber 🙂 The post below mentions how awesome it is to see young people getting into the music we grew up with and I concur.
You watching the video where April Wine recorded their music and did a video too''.
This is industrial rock at its best.
animate, live from francfurt, masterfull. 🤘🤘🤘

Greatly appreciated!!! 🎶 💯

This was high school in the early eighties. Great reaction!

Worth every minute!
Neil plays the drums like they owe him money.
The DRUIMS sound DECEPTIVELY EASY... This song started out as a collaboration with Pye DuBois called Louie the Lawyer...
I know I'm not a Patreon member, and therefore my recommendations probably don't carry very much weight anymore, but I'll once again recommend you check out "Finding My Way", from their first album (STUDIO version). Also harder than their prog rock stuff.
Just a suggestion. I personally think it'd make an excellent reaction vid...and both it and this are very playlist worthy.
Great reaction guys , it's so hard to have just one favorite song from this band. So many great songs!!🤘😃🤘
Led Zepplen, Pink Floyd,Rolling Stones. Aerosmith, Black Sabbath
"He knows changes aren't permanent, but change is" always gets me 😂

You’re witnessing one of the best bands ever. The best drummer too, Neil Peart. 70’s music was the best. no auto tune, no digital. This is REAL music.
Stumbling across this video may have turned me gay. You're both adorable. Seriously though, I really appreciate your approach to reactions and open mindedness. Keep up the good work guys.
So, you like Neil's drumming? Solo in Frankfurt, dudes. Extended blow your mind bombast
☺️ Back for a rewatch! Thanks for posting your Rush list on your last video. 🥰🐰

Neil was possibly the greatest lyricist since Bob Dylan....
You guys need to check out their song (Working Man), definitely their hardest hitting and just straight up kick ass song!
There's a fine line between Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, and they rode it more than anyone'''''
Sick!!!
classic
Rush was one of those bands that appealed to all tastes, but they were kind of a guy thing, didn't know too many girls who were into them.
Jam!
Their original first time videos are far better and you will learn just how great they were in the early years. Back when I saw them live.
Geddy Lee is also playing Taurus Bass Pedals with his feet to play bass parts while he is also playing keyboards, also Obermeyer keyboard and mini moog, 6 string Rickenbacker bass guitar and Rickenbacker double neck bass.
Read someone’s comment once that said Geddy looked like an old witch in this video 😂 I can never unsee that now. I love Rush. 💕
I'll Never Let You Go by Steelheart is a good one.
Come on guys headphones you're missing out on all the good sounds
the notes, riffs, fills are so clean and high you could eat a sandwich between each note - it is just clean and smart, so full - these musicians are never messy - always pure and authentic in their genius -
Check out Trees if you haven't heard it yet.
You should try the band Yes, same style!!
It just never gets old
First concert I ever went. It was amazing back in 1978..
So cool!!
