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.
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.
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 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
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.
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✌
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.
"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!
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
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
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!
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 -
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!
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!!
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 🤘
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 :)
I'd say MOST musicians play multiple instruments. Most guitarists can play some bass. If you've gone to college, you're usually REQUIRED to take piano for a couple semesters, and spend hours at the keyboard for many different classes - music theory, sight-singing/ear training, just banging out your part if you're a vocalist, for instance. Every practice room has a piano. Geddy isn't a virtuoso keyboardist, but like many musicians, he can get around a bit!
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
Holy crap all your Rush reactions and this is the first time checking out "Tom Sawyer" ?? This is their signature song, people think Rush, this is the song that comes to mind...great reaction
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.
❤❤❤...I'm 64 & had this pop up on my You Tube recommended.. ( New Subscriber now ) LOVE IT !! OLD R&R Girl....seen 57 Bands in Concert...LOTS more Than Once && Met Quite a few ( by making Stage clothes & friends in Bands...starting in 1978) Started seeing 1st concerts in 1974...1st 5...Doobie Bros. Queen, Heart, Rush,& Jethro Tull ( check out Locomotive Breath !! )...2nd time I saw Rush was in 80?? 81 ???...& got to see backstage...Philadelphia Spectrum...was delivering clothes I made for the opening band Blondie ( met in 78 at club called CBGB's..friends were playing there,Debbie,Chis & Clem were just hanging out , talked to my friends, said they like their shirts.they told them I made them,was a Big Start)....I didn't really meet Rush ,,just got to see them going on stage after Blondie's set...SCREWED Up Combination for Bands!! Blondie Got Booed, bottles were thrown at them ...HOPE You Don't mind LONG Rant !!...&& Want to say Thanks for the Blast from Past you gave me &&&& the SMILE you gave me on the other reactions I found on your site ( went back & looked at others) after this !! Rock on Twins !!🥰
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.
Okay guys, really happy to see you react and enjoy real music but you have to get headphones to really hear everything. You don't realize how much your missing. Now with that being said, rock on and Peace!
One of the greatest drummers of all time
Absolutely

Rush were considered Progressive Rock. Masterpiece indeed.
Quite simply three geniuses at the peak of their creativity and masters of their art.
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.
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.
The Rush “jump scare” when that first note hits… great reaction!

The most iconic drum roll of all times.....
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.
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).

Rush = The awesome band that keeps on giving...
Not just were they talented they were great friends that lasted until now. Not many bands can keep their legacy this long.
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
Now here is some of the BEST MUSIC FROM CANADA.... LOOK UP TRAGICALLY HIP TOO ANOTHER GREAT BAND.
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.

FACTS!! SCHOOL IS IN FOR THESE TWO. I LOVE WHAT YOU SAID. FACTS!!
Funny as F!! Dudes jumped in the first note!! Great song! Lots of great Rush!
Definitely playlist worthy.
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.
Geddy Lee has said that he honestly thought that Tom Sawyer was the worst song on the Moving Pictures album
"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!
Changes aren't permanent, but change is. What a great line!
Probably my favorite line in all of Rush’s songs.
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

Ahh one of the staple songs of rock! Great for any generation. Timeless! Great job guys 👍✌️
This is the most animated I have seen the twin on the right. Me thinks he is quite cerebral. 🇨🇦🔥🔥🔥🌟👍💖
Rush makes songs in 7 time that are so accessible you don't even notice it's in 7 time.
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!
Worth every minute!
(Rush - Limelight) - I promise you're gonna really like it...
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 !!
"Is It Playlist Worthy?"
I have yet to hear a Rush song that isn't playlist worthy
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.
You can tell a good RUSH song when you change time signatures and keys back a forth a few times. Legends.
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!!
Rush says this their signature song. ❤ It's a blast watching some young fellows learn about Rush.
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 -

Excellent guys, now if you want to see Rush turn 20+ minutes into what feels like 5, you need to do 2112. Masterpiece.

First concert I ever went. It was amazing back in 1978..
Underplayed. Far more talented than credit given.
Greatly appreciated!!! 🎶 💯
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 🤘

The DRUIMS sound DECEPTIVELY EASY... This song started out as a collaboration with Pye DuBois called Louie the Lawyer...
"He knows changes aren't permanent, but change is" always gets me 😂
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.
There's a fine line between Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, and they rode it more than anyone'''''
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.
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. 💕
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.

☺️ Back for a rewatch! Thanks for posting your Rush list on your last video. 🥰🐰
Keep in mind. 3 man band
This is industrial rock at its best.
This was high school in the early eighties. Great reaction!
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!
Welcome to the universe of real music my friends, u guys will never hear today's music the same way.
Great reaction guys , it's so hard to have just one favorite song from this band. So many great songs!!🤘😃🤘
Yessss. Let’s get the kids involved.
🤭 Wait until you hear the Intro for 2112..... 😁🥰🐰
My soundtrack of 7th grade!🎹🥁🎸🎙🎶🤘👊
Neil was possibly the greatest lyricist since Bob Dylan....
Great reaction guys !! You're so cute !!!
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.
I bought moving pictures when i was 16!!! Banger album
Rush is in my top 3. Just watched your Van Halen Video When it's Love. Try Love Walks in. Another ballad with Sammy at the mic.
Super powerful song!
So, you like Neil's drumming? Solo in Frankfurt, dudes. Extended blow your mind bombast

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.
Most air-drummed song all-time
That drummer!
Sick!!!
There is a music store in my town that has a Rush pinball machine.Needless to say I am in there a lot!😁
Nice haha!
"Free will" and " the trees" maybe now?
Free Will video is up. Go to our channel and check out the Rush playlist!
@@BassTwinsReact i ll check. Thanks...
The Trees! My favorite Rush song of all! The message is still so appropriate today.
Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell
