Alex's lead at the end of this song is probably one of the most emotional guitar solos he's done.
Amen! That and the solo from The Garden. It draws unexplained tears.
@@870expressmag Add "The Pass" to the list as well. I didn't think of it until I saw the title just now. 😊
Losing It
This outsolo is absolutely awesome!
Yup
Neal was not just Master Drummer, He was a master poet.
Undeniably.
the thing about Alex is that he makes the band by holding back just a little, he is content to be co-equal with his friends in a perfect balance
You’re just starting the journey, but you already recognize that Rush is a singular sound. no matter all the changes in styles they went through Over 40 years, it was all still undeniably Rush.
The world needs more RUSH these days. Inspirational, motivating, passionate, and badass I'm a lifetime fan, saw 6 different tours, and multiple shows each in The Bay Area during the 80s and 90s. Every time, I was watching greatness. Truly underrated. I'm amazed Gen Z doesn't appreciate RUSH and their positive depth.
“Beyond the Lighted Stage” you need to watch this documentary of Rush to get the TRUE understanding of the band. This your home work. Watch it & report back to us.
Will do and i wish i had hmwrk like this in school.. 😆
If people didn't know, it's on Netflix! :)
Brett Coon that’s where I watched it lol
Extraordinary documentary...none of the usual fame, drugs, rivalry ...etc that dominates every other rock documentaries.
What a fucking ending to this song by Alex. I literally get emotionally all caught up in my feelings whenever I hear this version. Unbelievable
That fade-out guitar solo always gives me goose-bumps. This has been, and will always be my favorite Rush song of all time. R*I*P* Neil
This is the first song I thought of and played after I heard Neil died. I cried actual tears for the first time in my life over a "celebrity's" death
Alex Lifeson is everyone's guy.
He'''s so awesome, and , like the others, just a normal humble Canadian guy- never acting like he is one of the greatest musicians in the world, as they all are (were in Neil's case). Rush is the gold standard of musicianship.
@@gregscupholm254 great comment. I have been a Rush superfan since 1980. Named my son Alex Neil (and he gets it, lol). But, anyhow, I still can't believe we are talking about Neil in the past tense. Still hurts.
Yes, Alex is my guy too. He often takes a back seat to Geddy and Neil, but is a tremendous guitarist, very underrated!!
Think about this.....Neil and Geddy are literally the top 3 players at their instruments. Plus supreme multitasking and singing and lyric writing. They are simply unreal. Then you have Alex. The "least talented" of the 3, yet he's a top 10 guitarist of all time IMO. There simply isn't 3 band members ever that can touch these guys.
I always hated the comments during this period, too much synth, lol being a guitar player I recognized how complex and great Alex's parts were, he is a genius in any genre
Glad you mentioned that . Alex has amazing performances in every Rush album !!
Yes!! Alex had a unique ability to add so much texture to all the synth. His use of the Nashville tuning really added brightness to so many of the songs.
The greatest group of all time. They played for their fans. THAT means so much more than mainstream.
i have to say this..im 55 a life long ,self taught multi-instumentalist......i have been listning to these masters lately....the Presto record....and man.....the way the world is NOW ....these guys make me cry..i have such a better attitude when i listen to rush......I FEEL HOPE COME ALIVE IN ME.......thank you for takin your time to do this.............bless you my friend
This is when you wished you had a time machine, so you could go back and see these amazing concerts in person. "Sherman, set the Way Back Machine!"
Old fart here, saw every tour since Moving Pictures, my daughter was in her mom's tummy during Presto tour 🤣 she loves Rush to this day, she's 30 now 😉 wow its been a long journey
One of my favorite Rush songs and it's one that no one reacts to.
Everything after Signals gets lost in the woodwork for most fans, especially the ones requesting these videos :(
The 2nd half of their catalogue is better than most bands' entire careers. There are some true gems in there (e.g. The Big Money).
@@omicron2018 Big Money is alright
I was actually at this gig. Absolutely brilliant. It finished around 2230, and then we had a 70 mile drive back to Manchester (UK).
T, Rush is the greatest 3 piece Power trio of all time, thanks for the video, Rock on Bro, Peace Man, Cousin Figel
The Rush journey is truly an epic one. I've been on it for over 20 years, and I'm only 26. Theres always something to find in this Band, for everyone! Recommend roll the bones (the album and song), and the song Distant Early Warning!
I know you're getting a ton of Rush requests but, The Pass has a great message to it. Possibly life saving.
Not just "possibly"....
Forgot how much I like this song - especially live. I've been a Rush fan for 41 years (my first concert was Moving Pictures, 1981), so I have endless recommendations for you. I even interviewed Alex Lifeson in '96 - which was an amazing experience for a longtime fan, but that's a story for another day. You obviously appreciate seeing them live, so you should definitely check out the version of Xanadu from the tour that I saw in 1981. You won't believe all the things these guys do on stage to create such an epic track. Geddy and Alex are both playing doubleneck guitars, Geddy is multitasking like crazy, and Neil's setup before he had electronics was already massive (tubular bells, wind chimes, wood blocks, glockenspiel, you name it). It's a must-see performance: ua-cam.com/video/VuHS-gjMiVw/v-deo.html - Enjoy!
Great reaction, bro, Hold Your Fire is a gem. You must check Subdivisions, Freewill, Afterimage, Red Tide, Heresy, The Enemy Within, Open Secrets, Time Stand Still, Bravado, Grand Designs; Rush is The Best Group of The Galaxy.
Headlong Flight and The Garden are a must.
Alex's guitar sometimes took a back seat in the 80's but his playing is so emotional.....great solos . Especially the end of Mission ( as someone mentioned). We see Geddy doing keys/ bass....but Alex is playing bass pedals throughout this awesome tune !!
Xanadu Exit Stage Left Is Eplc !!!!
Fav performance of my favourite Rush song, musicianship, lyrics, sounds, rhythms, theme, solo's, so tight
I was a senior in high when this came out. Had already seen them twice. This song actually puts me back in my basement apartment at my parents house, air drumming while doing homework
Thanks for this reaction. I feel it's Rush at their best. Just such brilliance.
When you are praising Geddy's setup, he's probably playing the bass notes -those real fat sustained notes- **with his feet** on Taurus (or more modern) bass pedals. The second-hardest working man in show biz!
(Well heck YT piltdown crossed out something I just wanted n-dashed.)
@@toddhisattva click the 3 dots to edit
It is time for you to experience La Villa Stangiato
I would suggest the studio version first - it's a masterpiece, and my personal favorite of their instrumentals. Some of their best work and Alex's finest hour, IMHO. ua-cam.com/video/UNilsLf6eW4/v-deo.html
In concert in Cleveland....❤️
@@37Raffaella Absolutely my favorite version too, and one not many reviewers watch. It was from the Time Machine tour.
Best rock instrumental ever written. Pure magic...
I recommend you listen to La Via strangiato from this very concert a show of hands is so much better than the studio cut especially Alex's guitar solo
"SECOND NATURE " on the same album. I would love to see a reaction to that. No one's done it yet.
Phenomenal song that so many don't even think about!!! Unbelievable lyrics..
I will also add a musical point of view. The "upbeat 80's vibe" comes from the song being played and modulating mostly in the major keys (D and E, with a Bm thrown in), like a lot of the more "pop" songs do. A lot of Heavy Metal and later, Grunge and Goth, preferred minor keys, which Rush also shifted to during those eras. If a song makes you feel good or happy, it's probably played in a major key, if it makes you feel sad or upset, most likely it's a minor key.
"We each pay a fabulous price for our visions of paradise."
This is one of the many lines in Rush songs that grabs me every time.
I saw this tour at Wembley Arena and couldn’t believe it was played live! The sound and the musicianship was THAT good It could have been a cd! Thanks, Rush, for being excellent!
If that's your first time hearing this lucky you. I remember hearing it for the first time in 1995. Still love it
Another great song is called "Driven". They have so so so many great tunes. Saw them on almost single tour from Presto on. Old stuff like 2112, The Trees, Hemispheres, Closer to the Heart or newer stuff like The Way the Wind Blows, The Garden are recommendations. Really anything. Definitely a Neil Peart drum solo.
i'm jealous you get to hear this band going in fresh....do yourself a favor and do some live versions of Subdivisions, Marathon and Digital Man...youre in for a treat
A lifetime of being a Rush fan, and this is my favorite song.
I’m a golfer. When I listen to this song I imagine Tiger Woods and see his amazing talent and imagination
This is one of my all time favorites from Rush. You should check out some more of their "newer" stuff. Test for echo, driven, nobody's hero, Resist, ghost of a chance, counterparts, roll the bones and leave that thing alone
From this same video is a live version of a song called "Turn the Page" (same album as "MIssion") and if you want to see the true genius of Geddy Lee singing a melody and playing an impossible bass line, it's just another level of appreciation for this man and his talent. I saw this tour twice in 19877-88 at the Meadowlands, NJ and Madison Square Garden.
This song is from what I consider their "songwriter" period. Truly inspiration lyrics from Neil on this one! Well done sir. 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🙂
You are going to LOVE Red Barchetta. I would request Caravan from the Clockwork Angel tour.
I love this. I feel like fans often refer to this as the "synth era" in order to dismiss its greatness. You nailed it... This was their songwriting period. and some of the most special lyrics ever written.
This is one of my favorite Rush songs. It is absolutely beautiful.
My most favorite Rush song ever ❤
Even amongst all their technical brilliance Rush are all heart. I had this on VHS when I was a kid and I watched it hundreds of times.
a spirit with vision.......man i miss em...
Well there you go,"Rush is positive".sums it up quite well.To me you're the real deal.Thank you much
Rush were the arbiters of my life’s anthem. Without their music,I would not have found moments of inspiration that got me through some tough times in my 50 years of existence.
Amen!
We each pay a fabulous price for a moment in paradise
The whole Power Windows album is amazing. One of their most underrated albums. Keep going. You're gonna love all of these. Neil's drum solo is blow you away
"Emotion Detector" is an underrated deep cut IMHO.
I remember buying this concert on VHS in about 1990 or so.......still have it to this day. One of the best concert videos of all time "A Show of Hands".
This is the year (1988) I first discovered Rush and if I had just been a bit earlier, I would have been at that show as it's my hometown!!
time stand still is another banger.
This is actually the first time I ever heard this song even though it's 32 years old. It sounds very commercial to me but it's a great song!
Force Ten off the same album !! One of my favorite albums by them even though it's the 80's it was an epic cycle of inner magic and reflection from within and out !! Growth of personality, finding the connection to our society through the changing times but holding true to my favorite band as they transcend the decades of music not caring about style but about the message and holding true to not selling out to the Establishment!!
I concur, Gerard. Hold Your Fire is a stellar album. I really love Geddy's bass tone on this record
Beautiful music with deep and emotional lyrics. Definitely playing with passion and focus, this is from their more key oriented period but Alex still finds interesting ways to make his presence felt. Love the use of the whammy bar in the solos. Another song to check out from this period of Rush is “Marathon”.
This was my coed softball team theme when the lightest hitter on our team made the biggest and championship clinching play. She caught foul tip! She dove for it and caught it! We all piled on top of her crying! The Lifeson ending solo makes me think of that season, the team, the play.
Shout out to the patreon who requested this one. So many awesome Rush songs don’t get much attention. It’s understandable with their catalog, but glad we got to see you react to this one. Also, another prime example of how well they sound live. Cheers!
Small price to pay to request my favorite Rush song off of my favorite Rush album :)
Also, if you haven’t already, I recommend Neil Peart solo Live in Frankfort and YYZ Live in Rio! You need to check out some more live stuff of theirs! They are the best live band in the last 45 Yrs!! With the exception of the range of Geddy’s voice as he gets older, all their stuff sounds fresh off the albums! They never gave us a “bad show”!!
I saw this tour twice!! Sooo freakin' awesome. All in all--I saw them 35 times from '77-'15. The show in 2015 was their last tour, and my brother, sister and I were in tears after the show
That entire album/CD is so under-rated for them!!
I love Rush🥰❤️✨
They are by far my favorite band! I highly recommend “The Weapon”, “Witch Hunt”, “Afterimage” to name a few
I feel privileged to have seen them twice.
RUSH, THE NAME SAYS IT ALL!!! WHAT A RUSH...
“Driven” is another song you’d like. But then, so is almost every Rush song.
Great reaction video. Check out "The Manhattan Project" from "A Show Of Hands". Impressive performance is a true understanding. Also, check out the drum solo by Neil Peart from this tour. Best drummer ever sat behind a drum kit. RIP Neil Peart.
It's about the space shuttle challenger explosion. The astronauts. Their life is exotic and strange. After the explosion they would gladly exchange it for something a little more plain a little more sane. It's incredibly well done
Mission is the last song on the Hold Your Fire album- and I tell you now, that whole album in incredible - with this song as the positive vibe cherry on top.
I liked how you put it. And it's not just their eighty's work. Rush's music was always upbeat an positive, even when the lyrics where heavy.
Now THANK YOU!!! THIS is near the top of my RUSH list! Seldom requested on these 'REACTION' sites!!! Power Windows and Hold Your FIre - best era of RUSH for me - culmination of their 80's trip. Glad to see TERRITORIES is next on the list!!
Just WOW! Bringing back memories of that tour. Saw it live! I believe I saw this tour in Pensacola FL! Tears
Such a GREAT SONG!
This was a fantastic show and I was there for all nights in Birmingham and the Glasgow date too .... Mission is my fave track from Hold Your Fire too ...... stunning and Geddys voice ... WOW !!!!
Glad to see you loving this fantastic Rush song from the late '80s. Oh yeah! Mission = pure platinum live right there! That outro guitar solo Alex performs gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. One of his finest recorded live moments ever! And Geddy's bass tones on this tour are also so fat and amazing. Last, I feel like this is one of the most sublime pairings of Neil's words with Ged's vocal delivery.
People today on their iPhones: "Look, I'm multi-tasking."
Geddy Lee: "Hold my beer. No wait, I'll hold it while I sing, play bass, Taurus Pedals, and keys."
Recommended: Cygnus X-1 Books I and II. Put aside a good hour if you do them back to back. 2112 too: The song/album that saved their career in 1976.
A lot of people don't like this period of Rush. But you can't deny they weren't at the peak of their skills instrument-wise. And Geddy's vocals as well.
There's something about this song, this performance that just brought it all back. I've been lucky enough to have seen Rush 6 times, including on the final tour, R40. And, this brought me to tears. I'm so sad I'll never feel this again-the feeling of seeing and hearing them live.
Marvellous. Was at Birmingham for this live recording.
Everyone should enjoy music as much as you.
I'm glad you're enjoying your Rush journey T!! Their music is so inspirational ,& besides being a great drummer Neal Peart was also an awesome lyricist ...
Rush were such a joy to see live.
And absolutely NOBODY conveys *emotion* with a guitar like Alex Lifeson. You simply cannot listen to that man play guitar and not *feel* what he is trying to communicate to you, usually under the inspiration of Neil's lyrics
The other one you can see and feel his emotion take over is Red Sector A, it's a much different feel with much different emotion behind it, but you can't help but "feel" that solo either!
While I’m listening to this, I remember why I got my Rush tattoo. I’m sent back to why I love them.
Great Rush reactions! My favorite band! It is truly amazing what they accomplish on stage!
My favourite song of all time. Thank you for reacting to this. It all to often gets forgotten about in their catalog, but it is a very special song.
This is one of my favorite Rush songs!
Xanadu - Exit Stage left video performance performed in1981 , right after Moving Pictures came out it really captures when it all came together for Rush,
I remember that tour. It was always a treat to see them perform live.
Another great song by Rush is "Half the World".
The outsolo in Mission is Alex Lifeson's GOAT! It's incredible.
Every. Song. Is. Good.
It's cool that u get it, they're songs are always so epic, signals has many great songs
Between the Wheels is one of the best especially off of the r30 performance.
TNT, Thank you for pointing out one of the most important things to me about Rush. Their music makes you FEEL something. Most of their songs are inspiring or at the very least.....informative. I was 13 when I found this band back in 1980. It’s been an amazing ride ever since. My high school English teacher ask me who my favorite poet was and I told him, Neil Peart. He was oblivious. Lol. You see, I was never an ace in my scholastic endeavors and like you and am first drawn in by the music then lyrics. This band had all I needed to get through high school. Ok, there may have been some Cannabis. Lol! Again, thank you for your seemingly genuine reaction to this band. If I’ve taken nothing else from decades of this Rush experience I have learned to always be......true.
I recommend reacting or just listening to the song, “Losing It” from the “Signals” album. It has a depressing elemental tone but closes with honorable mention. I’m mostly optimistic and don’t waller in drama or muck but this song may be one of my all time favorites. It has an off beat time signature and the solo is done with an electric violin. Just a little fun fact, this song was first played live 35 years after it was recorded. Side note, lyrics are very important in this song. Looking forward to your next video.
Hope you enjoy. E-
You are hooked brother! Enjoy the ride. It gets better over the decades you’ll be listening to them.
I prefer the cd version of show of hands as far as his solo but it really doesn’t matter at the end of the day. Once if his best solos ever.
one of my favorite rush songs. along with all the rest. the camera eye #1 forever though
I love your reactions to Rush. Please do more with lyrical break downs. Neil wrote most of their lyrics behind the songs and was a GENIUS. Some of his lyrics often bring me to tears just on their powerful impact and Geddy's delivery of them.
A couple good songs I would recommend for this is 2112 (very long song) or Losing it.
Love watching your reactions to Rush. Been a Rush fan since 1983 till present
I agree with Rob, it’s time for La Villa Strangiato.
Wow. This brings me back. I remember sitting in the audience and swaying to that song as they played it. This album was the end of their synthesizer period. They had them in later albums, but this album was the highpoint and after this, they used them less and less (Alex got tired of trying to work his guitar around them and snapped and told them "no more synthesizers!"). Some other good songs from that period worth listening to: Territories and Force Ten.
You should to do a reaction to one of Neil’s drum solos. I think you would enjoy it.
