- Holy shit, I've been missing out. This band is incredible.
So tonight I decided to jump down my 80s rabbit hole and listen to some Rush. Boy oh boy was I in for a treat. I started my journey off by educating myself about the band and the late great Neil Peart.
This Jam session was quite the experience and I look forward to listening to more music from them, so if you have any request leave them down below in the comment section.

"I gotta find out who this bass player is." Yes. Yes you do. Geddy Lee is to rock bassists what Neil is to rock drummers. And Alex Lifeson is probably the most criminally underrated rock guitarist of all time. Three absolute musical maestros.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Lifeson is 100% in the pantheon of guitar gods
I heard that Lee was a huge fan of Chris Squire
Rush = Geddy Lee ; Vocals, Bass, Keyboards. Erik Lifeson; Guitar
Neil Pert ; Percussions (in an interview he said he hated being called a mere drummer, that he was a percussionist.)
@@veteranhoffman6776 who is Erik lifeson?
T: "I can't believe I've never heard of them before."
Rush fans: "One of us. One of us. One of us!"
lol, hahahahaha... dude, that is literally what has happened to me. I just finished the Netflix documentary. Now im ready to ja out.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Rock Music Lesson: The four pillars of modern rock (post-1970s) are *Rush, Led Zeppelin, Yes, and Pink Floyd*. All rock stars credit their inspiration from one or more of these four and you'll hear their influence in every rock song.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT was it Beyond the Lighted Stage? Get the DVD set. Watch all of it including the bonus stuff. You'll get a good idea who they are/were.
3 intelligent, modest and polite Canadian gentlemen. As perfect as they are in their musicianship, they're as goofy as well.
Welcome to the world of Rush.. You will be transformed..
LMFAO. Never heard of Rush? Inconceivable.
You’re gonna freak out when you find out that the bass you were digging is played by the guy that’s playing the keyboards. Oh and by the way, he’s also the singer.
Don't forget the foot pedals.
And the drummer wrote the lyrics... 😢😢😢
At the same time lmao
Geddy plays bass, foot pedal keyboards, sings AND moves the microphone with his nose SIMULTANEOUSLY. And yes I was fortunate to see them live twice. The first show in January 1977 I was front row center stage. I got my hands on their self-titled debut a month after its March 1974 US release. PROUD 48 year supporter/fanatic/die hard. NO BIGGER FAN!
“La Villa Strangiato” is another good one from Rush.
The best song they made
Most incredible song.
Imagine being a 15 year old kid who's never been to a concert before and you're older neighbor at about 5 in the evening asks if you'd like to go see a band called Rush and you've never heard of them before. Of course I begged my mother to go and I was allowed to go and the rest is history they became my favorite band instantly. It was the permanent waves tour with Spirit of the radio just blowing me away. How could three people put out that much quality sound it was just amazing to me
Lucky!!! Great tour.
I was at the Moving Pictures concert tour. Best concert I've ever seen in my life
My story is quite similar. My dad took me (as a chaperone) for my 16th birthday. 1979 hemispheres tour. He hated it. The next time I saw them i took my son. Snakes and Arrows tour in hershey. He loved it. Big fan to this day. Thanks Rush for an amazing ride!
@@crazyfingers19 When I was 12 years old I snuck out with my older neighborhood kids to go to Pittsburgh to see Uriah Heep. The opening band was Rush and I WAS blown away and they have been my favorite band ever since. Coincidentally it was there very first concert in the USA.
On May 12, 1981, Rush played the Rochester War Memorial and I had no one to take me. I'm not going to say I was heartbroken, but to this day I'm sad that I wasn't able to see that particular tour. Every subsequent time they played in Rochester from 1984 until 1991 or so, I was there. Last time I saw them, it was at Madison Square Garden (2011) and I went to the show straight from work. Jacket and tie and all. I was still that kid from all those years ago. I have seen Rush live more than any other band, and I miss those guys.
YYZ live in Rio was so rockin everyone in the crowd was singing to the instruments
This, and then listen to the version off of Exit Stage Left with the extended drum solo.
I just saw Rio last night! How do you sing along with an instrumental? Watch RIO video! RIP TO THE MASTER! Taking a piece of my heart with him! Listen to "Losing It". And ALL of the SIGNALS album
@@karenduguid3943 easy you sing YYZ in morse code. Pronounced dah-dit-dah-dah dah-dit-dah-dah dah-dah-di-dit. Those are the words. ua-cam.com/video/o17yNKuj-xg/v-deo.html
@@stuart979 All these years I've been a fan I never knew that! Is the Z pronounced "Zed or Zet"? I read that somewhere yesterday. They NEVER stop amazing me!
@@karenduguid3943 Zed. My daughter lives in YYZ (aka Toronto -- that's their airport code) and one is reminded how the Brits/Canadians call Z "zed" rather than "zee." The story behind this is they would return from tours to home (Toronto) and would hear the morse code on their private plane as they returned to the airport. I 100% endorse your recommendation to watch YYZ live in Rio. Amazing to hear a huge crowd "sing" to an instrumental.
I love watching people listen to rush for the first time. It’s like hearing them myself for the first time. The joy of sharing something so awesome is akin to watching your kids do something the first time. I absolutely love it!
Try live version of closer to the heart and if you want a truly emotional song, losing it.
Rush: "We wanted to write a song that was impossible to play". The result was YYZ. True story.
Always have the lyrics available when listening to Rush...you will not be disappointed.
Neil's equally impressive contribution to the world!
‘Cept maybe on YYZ🤪
I’ll second that. As good as the music is technically, Neils lyrics, most every song, is deep and meaningful. Try Xanadu-Exit stage left to see three master musicians perform at their peak live.
Working man
First timers comment on how happy the music is. Like Disney. But the lyrics tell another story.
"What kind of band is Rush? It's RUSH" -- Gene Simmons
Bif Webster And why is that?
Progressive Rock w a GPA OF 4.00. Prepare for music of the finest🌴🌴GUAM LUV TNT🌴
@Bif Webster nah he went on Dr Phil bro what you talking about
Bif Webster you’ll probably find these 5 reasons as a part of why some people feel the same way about him. Honestly I’ve never been a fan of Simmons, we all have a rights to our own opinions so this article explains why the writer feels like he does. www.metalblast.net/blog/top-5-reasons-why-gene-simmons-is-a-piece-of-shit/
The shows were amazing in person. What stood out to me on their last tour was how everyone in the audience was singing and air playing to even the obscure songs. I’d never been in a place where I felt like everyone loved each other deep down like that.
By the way YYZ is the airport zoning code for Toronto where they're from and the intro riff on the guitar is morse code for YYZ
If you’re reading this comment then do yourself a favor and listen to “La Villa Stangiato” from Rush. Another instrumental masterpiece.
I've got that on my list
@@TheAdventuresofTNT you may get a lot of opinions on which version you should react to. I'm here to make the case that you should start with the album version of this one (the album is Hemispheres), or if you become convinced that you want to hear a live version, please seek out the live album Exit...Stage Left and listen to that version. Rush were perfectionists, and I'd argue that the album versions represent the ideal that they meant to convey to the world. Don't get me wrong. I was fortunate enough to see them live a few times, and they are INCREDIBLE live. I mean pick-your-jaw-up-off-the-floor incredible. But for a reaction, my opinion is that you should hear the polished album version that they put so much work into crafting. Enjoy your Rush journey! Respect!
@@TheAdventuresofTNT oh, and for your consideration, here are my picks for Rush songs you should react to: Jacob's Ladder, Freewill, Working Man, Circumstances, Cygnus X-1 (Books 1 and 2), 2112, Anthem, Roll The Bones, Digital Man, New World Man. I'll stop there. This rabbit hole is deep my brother.
Also, I recommend you get some lyrics up while you listen. The music is great but the lyrics are equally moving and powerful.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT yes I have to agree with Paul Scheuer on this one, the studio version is definitely a must !!!!!
Any version of "La Villa Strangiato" is worth a reaction video.
"What's it feel like to be the greatest guitar player in the world?" Eddie Van Halen's reply: "I don't know, maybe you should ask Alex Lifeson.".
Where did you read , hear or see this quote I would love to see it for myself??
Barry Bailey he said it in a Rolling Stone interview sometime in the early 80s. You might be able to track it down online
Nowhere. I've seen this "quote" used a hundred times on UA-cam and the musicians are always different. Besides Eddie Van Halen is too much of a dick to compliment anyone else.
I’ve never heard this before but I heard the same exact quote attributed to Jimi Hendrix when he was asked on the Mike Douglass show how it feels to be the worlds greatest guitarist. His answer was “I don’t know, ask Rory Gallagher”. I think people have taken liberties over the years with that quote. Not saying you didn’t hear it, just saying whoever wrote it was plagiarizing.
Wait, I thought that it was a comment made by Hendrix towards Phil Keaggy...or was it Eddie who made it about Hendrix. Either way, great folklore.
"He's playing the drums like a computer ...."
No, the computer is playing the drums like Neal Peart, and it's depressed because it's not as good as he is.
Ehehehe 😅
Best comment
Hilarious!
A drummer uses a metronome. A metronome uses Neil Peart.
Well said! Bravo
"Progressive rock before it was even progressive rock"
Wow, he got it right away!
Rush has been my band since 1976... There was no band like them then, and no band like them now. Enjoy!!
Lucky dog. I didn't start until 1986 but made damn sure to see them at least once every single tour since them.
Dave Matthews Band has a different vocabulary but a similar uniqueness
Well now you actually have to watch "Neil Peart's drum solo in Frankfurt", Dont go to sleep, dont go to work , do not Pass Go and collect $200. Listen now, aaaand begin...🎵🎵
Lol
Agreed
This is a definite must. I also just watched a doc on DW drums and his last set was made from a 1500 yr old log at the bottom of a Romanian river. Amazing.
Agreed
I started watching these Rush reactions for that solo. Have binged dozens this weekend and saw new things myself.
1. At one point after the firat zylophone section he is playing a constant back rhythm with his right hand. Including a zylo hit. While drumming different singles with his left.
2. A bit later he starts a top hat aymbol double tap with his left foot. It continues like a metronomic background. Insane, he is using all four limbs with differing paterns.
"I don't even know what to say". That's Rush. Thank you. I enjoy seeing others discovering Rush. They are the pinnacle, IMO.
Best audio quality of all Rush reaction videos. Thank you, I just sent my little bro this video and told him, "put on your headphones and remove all breakable items from arms reach". Another generation awakens to RUSH! 🔥
T... Do yourself a favor and watch the documentary on Rush called "Beyond the Lighted Stage"... It's on Netflix. You will be hooked on this band for the rest of your life. No Joke.
I've been hooked most of my life.. I was 12 or 13 when i first heard them, I'm 54 now! .. Hitct hiked 200 miles to see them live, when i was 16 .. So worth it! ... Musical genius that will forever be remembered & be praised, in the history of music!
And read Neil’s book ‘Ghost Rider’
@@50blvd As far as i know, T has not watched the movie, cause if he did, he certainly would have revealed the mastery and dedication of the gentlemen that made this documentary, Sam Dunn & Scott McFayden...
That was an incredible documentary. Loved how they stayed true to themselves throughout their career.
Hit. the Trees
Rush's live performance of "Xanadu" from Exit Stage Left will answer all of your questions and will further leave you in awe.
Excellent comment...spot on
Exactly!!
My favorite live track by any band ever. (“Supper’s Ready” on Genesis’ Three Sides Live is also a keeper.)
Rush is a progressive rock band noted for their ability to seemlessly move through different time changes. They are fantastic live. Not only do they play exceptionally well, they bring a great sense of humor to their act. The bass player is Geddy Lee. He also sings and plays the keyboard. Peart writes all the lyrics, which are well worth paying attention to. And, to top it off, they are three of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet.
They made "Progressive" music palatable.
Neil wrote most of their lyrics but was not responsible for all. Geddy and Alex both contributed throughout the years
@@danhuston6973 one might say the only progressive band that finished the progress
If course they were nice, they are Canadians.
I cant tell you how much fun it is to watch you discover THE band I've been diggin since I was a teenager. There is much, much more to come.....
"The Camera's Eye", "Red Barchetta", and "Witch Hunt" are all epic jams.
Yep, love that one . . . that one too . . . and that one is awesome . . .
No doubt 👌
Excellent choices!
The bass player is the singer voted best bass player ever. Also plays keyboards and can play guitar......band is incredible display of talent.
Lets not forget that he plays the keyboard with his feet live, while playing bass, and singing, and mentally updating his grocery list!!!
WHAT!!???
@@TheAdventuresofTNT for this comment alone check out "Analog Kid" Live ua-cam.com/video/72KdQKwxWyk/v-deo.html
Exactly. They figure out ways to get the same sound live. It’s not a stripped down version. And if you like Geddy’s bass, listen during the solo section of freewill. Amazing.
Funnily enough though, Geddy rated John Entwistle the greatest bass player.
I was lucky enough to have seen them live. They were one of the greatest live bands as well as wizards in the studio. I never get tired of seeing people discover Rush and be blown away by the versatility and virtuosity of the band. They were each absolute masters of their instruments, but were also respectful of each other on a personal level and a musical level. Nobody steps on anyone's toes, everyone has time to shine and show their stuff and best of all, they could lock into a groove while playing that would be the envy of the greatest funk bands on Earth.
Neil is gone but his legacy lives on. I’m glad you discovered this amazing band.
Rush sounds like three, four, five, maybe even six soloists all coming together to form one incredible sound. The live version of Xanadu from "Exit: Stage Left" is a perfect example of this.
Rush is known for its musicianship, complex compositions, and eclectic lyrical motifs drawing heavily on science fiction, fantasy, and philosophy. The band's musical style has changed several times over the years, from a blues-inspired hard rock beginning, later moving into progressive rock, and including a period marked by heavy use of synthesizers. In the early 1990s, Rush returned to a guitar-driven hard rock sound, which continued for the rest of their career. Rush announced plans to cease large-scale touring at the end of 2015, following the conclusion of their R40 Live Tour. After nearly three years of an uncertain future, Lifeson reluctantly announced in January 2018 that the band would not continue.[8][9] On January 7, 2020, Peart died of brain cancer at the age of 67
Just listened to this with decent headphones for my first time. Until 5 minutes ago I thought my car stereo sounded fine. Man, was I ever wrong.
I'm Brazilian and I saw this guy's here in Brazil. The first disco was I buy is hemisphers. I was 16 years old. Today im 56 and still listen Rush every day. My daughter love too. Welcome to the Rush Club!
You’ve gone headlong in to a very deep rabbit hole.. I guarantee that you will never regret this journey..La Villa Strangiatto is a good next step, or Xanadu! I’m looking forward to your reactions to 2112 and Hemispheres, but not quite yet...
"Why have I never heard of these guys?" In large part because they don't write love songs. That's almost a carved in stone prerequisite for 70s and 80s rock bands. These guys were nerds in an era where nerd culture was very much mocked. If you read sci fi and fantasy, if you were a fan of Star Trek and Star Wars, if you played Dungeons and Dragons you were a weirdo. Enter a band that wrote songs about the Knight of the Underworld fighting the great white Snow Dog, about the elven city of Rivendell, about the quest to defeat the evil wizard Necromancer. Their great "F you" to the record label was a sci fi epic about the individual's battle against the institutions in a dystopian future that was very Blade Runneresque before there was Blade Runner. They wrote about flying a space ship into a black hole, and a mystical cave where one might achieve immortality.
Later they wrote songs about the launch of the first Space Shuttle, the development of the atom bomb, or a car chase through the countryside in a world where cars are illegal. Songs weren't packaged neatly in 4 minute boxes.
And all of that is perfectly OK, because those of us that grew up loving them didn't care that they weren't on heavy rotation on the radio. They were on heavy rotation on our turntable and in our tape decks and CD and mp3 players.
Welcome to Wonderland, T. I hope you enjoy your stay here through the looking glass at the bottom of this very deep rabbit hole.
Nailed it. I hadn't ever thought of it this way but I am such a such a nerd. And Rush is definitely music by nerds for nerds. Well said sir
So, all us Rush freaks are nerds. I get it ... I think. I liked Rush, saw many a live concert, and they made me feel less of a freak than what I was. They, and others, pulled me from the abyss of economic hardship and made me feel like I was worth something. I think they succeeded on an artistic level, eh?
i took a friend of mine too see Rush,......lol.... n he said too me i feel like i'm bein program
Subdivisions is like the perfect nerd and outcast anthem lol. I totally agree. Great comment
@@brianmartindale2221 I don't know that ALL Rush fans were or are nerds, but you had to at least have tolerance for nerdy ideas and social misfits to be able to appreciate their lyrics. Songs like "Working Man", "Fly By Night", "Freewill" and "Spirit of the Radio" kept them on the radio, but I believe it was By Tor and Rivendell and the Necromancer that built the base and 2112 that set it in stone.
3 guys who were masters of their instruments. And their songs had such a diversity of sound. from the 70's rock to the 80's synthesizers, they could do it all.
People who try to categorize Rush are forever doomed to failure.
So TNT, I just want to say that music can bring us together! I am an old fat white guy that pretends that he can drum and have a pic of Neal Peart behind my drumset. And I love to see a young black man like yourself learning of a great 80s band and the best drummer in my opinion that an old fat white guy like me grew up on. Just like years ago when I first heard the guitar and vocals of a George Benson or the sultry songs/vocals of Marvin Gaye and Barry White. We all can get along through music! Thanks TNT!
Thank you I'm right there with you and I don't have the words you said it right on
Imagine having a band of three musicians. Each is considered among the best ever at their specific instrument. The drummer also happens to write incredible lyrics. Oh, did I mention the bassist is a world-class singer and a solid keyboardist? It's almost not fair.
Damn str8, nailed it
Like the gunfighters from the old west- looking to beat the best. Rock bands tried to beat Rush, but were all shot down.
I’ve been sayin it for 40 years....and you just said it “People need to hear this”. Seen them in the 80s, 90s and took my oldest boy in 2011. Your absolutely right, they are the real deal, they never EVER sounded like a 3 piece live, and ALWAYS stayed true to themselves. Great review, your reactions reminded me the first time I experienced the holy triumvirate .
60s, 70s and 80s music will be listened to and studied for centuries. Never to be duplicated, and we lived it. How awesome is that?
Peart is a beast and will always be one of my favorite musicians. He is also "your favorite drummers, favorite drummer" However, Geddy Lee is a frickin BEAST! Sings, plays bass, keyboards and Taurus pedals. Check out Xanadu live from Exit Stage Left.
I've been very fortunate to have seen them countless times, and they have never disappointed. One of those bands that's ever better live.
✌
I think you’ve never heard of them because 1. They are Canadian and Canadian Bands don’t play a lot on Americans radio and 2. They’ve always been very underrated by the mainstream, like Geddy Lee said, “Rush is like everybody’s best secret”.
Lol hahahahaha hahahahaha
I feel this way as well. I’m like “holy shit! This band is amazing. Should I even tell other people about them, “lol
What a crock. Rush was all over the radio in the USA in their heyday. The problem was that they became popular right before rock died.
@@stinkystu1 Back in the seventies they got very little to no radio air play in spite of having produced absolute masterpieces like 2112, Hemispheres, A Farewell to Kings... it wasn't until Permanent Waves in 1980 that they started to go more mainstream. I should know, I was a Rush head living in suburbia throughout the '70s, back when Led Zep, the Stones and other dinosaur bands were all the shit, and most people crapped on them - there were only like 10 people in my high school who digged them. I tried turning a lot of people on to them but got shot down most of the time, either they didn't like Geddy Lee's voice or they simply didn't get all the technicality, progginess and time signature changes.
You are correct that these guys put on incredible performances. I was fortunate enough to see them 3 times over the years, and to this day they are still the best band I have ever seen live.
Watching your reaction was like looking into a mirror of 12yo me back in the late 70's. Love it!
Rush "xanadu" off of exit stage left
Yes! Yes! Yes! Plus, anything from that show is awesome. And, actually, anything live from Rush is excellent.
A must. Agree
I agree.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Rush! I haven't read the comments but I'm sure everyone has already mentioned how amazing all 3 musicians are. Keep in mind that all this music is made by only 3 guys, and they totally replicate to perfection live. T, I'm telling you, man... you have to check out the live version of Xanadu from their 1980-81 concert film Exit: Stage Left. It will change your life, my friend.
Dude. You rock. And you know an artist when you see him.
I saw them in 94 in Detroit. 20 years into their journey and they sounded impeccable. Watch Neil's solo recorded in Rio. A-mazing. I got to witness that in person. I feel incredibly fortunate to have seen them in concert.
from a 56 year old guy that's seen the Hemispheres and Moving Pictures tours and has every RUSH recording on vinyl,....welcome
Damnit it I used to have that then the x happened
The beginning of YYZ is Morse code for Y Y Z.
YYZ is also the airport code for Toronto... So in other words, YYZ means "home" for them.
@@mariomariolemieux982 When they saw that code on their luggage tags, they knew they were headed home.
And it's pronounced why, why, zed, because they're Canadians.
@@dwaneanderson8039
Actually, it's called "zed" because that's the actual name of the letter, only U.S.A. calls it zee
@@williamvandenberg2295 Okay, but that doesn't make what I said wrong.
Best band of all time. End of story. Been a devoted fan for 13 years (I’m 22)
You are absolutely correct
Saw them live at the Montreal forum and Bell Center. I was completely blown away with them. All the sound that came out from only 3 guys was simply unbelievable.
My favorite Rush song is "Subdivisions" .....
2112 is also brilliant as expected heads up that puppy is about 20min though. Its like 3 songs that flow together to make a story good rabbit hole definitely want lyrics though so you can understand the story
Oh my gosh someone else finally suggested Subdivisions. Seems to be such an underrated song, but I LOVE it too. Maybe not my fave song, but definitely top three.
Yyyeesss!! I vote for Subdivisions, too!! That song always gets to me, both lyrically and instrumentally. So good!!!! 😌
You HAVE to listen to “La Villa Strangiato” I think It’s Rush’s best song, everything on this track is insanely good, the bass, The Drum (One of the best piece of drumming I’ve ever heard) and the guitar is absolutely insane, especially the solo (by Alex Lifeson one of the most underrated guitarist of all time) and It’s a 10 minutes instrumental!
I’m down
The Adventures of TNT make sure it’s the official video version. They are playing the song live and it’s incredible. You need to see the boys playing live.
If you think about when they recorded this besides the masterful music the lyrics..... wow these guys are so way before their time!! Just brilliant!!!
" This is played by a human!". No sir. THAT was played by Gods!
"subdivisions" and i think the name of the other tune is "the natural science"
Natural Science, live, snakes and arrows tour, one of Neil pearts greatest drumming performances, (my favourite,) and there's a drum camera video of the same performance. very difficult song, loads of transitions, I still can't understand why people don't request Natural science, it's a great live performance, great bass playing by geddy Lee.
@@philipshort7491 did they also do it on the rush in rio dvd i believe its on the discs i bought years ago from that show
Natural Science is one of my FAVORITES from them........3 guys make that music....it's amazing.
"Subdivisions" totally jams.
I was an angsty 15yo growing up in the suburban jungle in 1983, when Subdivisions came out. It was the first time I had a connection to a song. Like Neil somehow knew my daily struggle. It kept me sane.
You need to read Neil's life story....such a tragic tragic set of events but he overcame those events and came back large and in charge. Thanks, Professor!! I grieve for your family here, but I rejoice that you are reunited with your wife and daughter. When we meet, we will shake the pillars of heaven and find time to take a motorcycle trip!!!
These three virtuosos have been blowing me away since 1976! RIP Neil. ☹️
I saw Rush live 15 times... I was never disappointed.
Hard to believe someone has never heard this music crazy. I grew up with this. RIP Neil
I grew up in Burlington ON, just down the road from Toronto. I remember when RUSH was doing the high school /college circuit in the seventies. When they got a little bigger, for a few years, every New Year's eve at the Gardens!!
Off at a huge tangent, but my god you should be doing voice over work, you’ve got such a great voice! Plus, gotta love anyone who is diving into Rush, they’re with you for your life.
Ditto. If mahogany were a voice...warmth, depth and resonance...
The bass player, singer, Geddy Lee, also plays keys and a pedal board while live as well !! The concentration of talent in these three guys is phenomenal!! 👍👍❤️
2112 changed my life 40 yrs ago and I still hold that song near and dear to my heart. My 10 yr old loves the song as I did and still do to this day. Rush is brilliant! musicianship=)
It's fun watching you having fun discovering a band that I've been listening to since 1975.
That's prog for you... rock, jazz, classical, everything fused.
In terms of musical indulgence, you’ll love La Villa Strangiato
As impressive as his drum playing is, I find his lyric writing to be even more impressive.
Rush's "trick" is taking quite unusual musical ideas (odd time signatures, solos in modes etc), deep lyrics and exhibition level musicianship and turning it into completely accessible melodic songs with a groove, rather than some avant garde nonsense :-)
I was fortunate enough to see RUSH on their “Moving Pictures” tour; I slept outside, in-line, out front of the ticket venue, for 2 nights to secure my tickets...totally worth it.
I'm from Toronto Ontario Canada and Rush grew up and played at my high school in 1971 I believe and they are the most pure band dedicated to music in it's purest form. They never sold out and built their fan base on the pure love of their music. They are a Canadian treasure.
these guys are the fore runners of synchronous alternative rock. I've been to 9 of their concerts and never let me down. RIP Neil.
Gotta do “freewill” or “Xanadu” or “natural science”.
Absolutely do Xanadu from Exit Stage Left.. ua-cam.com/video/VuHS-gjMiVw/v-deo.html
Yes! Live Rush is very different than studio Rush, and you'll gain a better understanding into how this three-person band makes such full, rich music. To me, this particular video is the best live performance that showcases the band's technical skills.
@@plantgeek the R40 tour was amazing! I had the pleasure to see them live 3 times in my life.
Perfect
Also, Neil wrote most of the songs. Have lyrics when listening. Always a message.
I should’ve pulled up the lyrics but I literally got lost in the music on these tracks.
Nicole Vance he wrote the words not .music
Geddy and Alex wrote the music, mostly. Neil wrote the lyrics, mostly.
they are all precise!don't disrespect the best canadian band that ever lived!
in one sense ok, but Triumph are just as good and talk about criminally underrated and unknown Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush are stratosphere level
More people need to hear this...love it
Nah cannot compare Peart to Bonham. Peart was technically at the apex of drummers, huge jazz fushion prog rock vibe. Bonham... intensely powerful, intuitive drummer, perfect for heavy rock. Bonham was perfect for Zeppelin. Peart perfect for Rush.
That was well said Geoffrey.👍
Agreed
Finally someone that understands lol
Well said from a fan of both drummers!
Cheers to that 🍻
Huge Rush fan here... can you believe that there are people out there that absolutely HATE Rush? I can't even comprehend what they are thinking. Glad that you are experiencing them with open ears. Good news for you: you've BARELY scratched the surface!
I worked with a guy who was an English teacher in grade 9 and this guy shit on Rush every chance he got. I can't comprehend why I hear what I hear and people don't like their music. They have a great vibe and intelligent lyrics
Apparently having a Y chromosome helps one to appreciate Rush (with the notable exception of the ladies in the front row of the Time Machine concert in Cleveland. Those women are to be treasured!).
First time I saw them live was in 1979 at Pinkpop. I was hooked. Just 3 guys playing so unbelievably good. R.I.P. Neil you are going to be missed so much🙏😞
Three of the nicest guys in music. I am so glad I went to see them on their last tour. So many drummers lost their shinning light. RIP Professor ='(
They are probably the best three piece band you will ever hear
Lest we forget Emerson Lake and Palmer...check out Brain Salad Surgery.
The album called Hemispheres is just incredible. Few people react to because it has a lot of long songs - its a concept album. But honestly, its really really good.
I actually like Hemispheres more than 2112.
I have been listening to RUSH for 40ish years and still get the chills when listening to their albums. Glad to see people are still discovering them and reacting the same way! Truly an amazing group of talent and dedication!
I was 10 yrs old and my Mother took me to a concert that a local radio station had produced the main act was Charlie Daniel's Band with a little known Canadian act, RUSH. this was 1975. I'm 55 yrs old now and I have been a lifelong RUSH fan I have tried to see them every time they came to my town and can proudly say I saw them the first time they came to Saint Louis Missouri and the last tour they ever did . I'm blessed to have had their music and may other's music in my life.
"Hemispheres," "Natural Science," "The Fountain Of Lamneth" are my three FAVE Rush songs. However, they are ALL great!
Excellent taste! Those are some of my favorites too.
One of my favorite lyrics of all times is from Natural Science.."our causes can't see their effects"
You already know player
You have not even found the entrance to the Rush rabbit hole. Check out 2112, Hemispheres, Natural Science, Cygnus X 1, Working Man, Fountains of Lamneth, The Trees, Twilight Zone, I could go on and on about one of the greatest musical geniuses of any time.
Absolutely. And Xanadu!!! Xanadu live on Exit Stage Left!!!! Can you imagine his reaction???
You missed their best- Freewill.
Trees and la via strangata still are my favorites. Oh and the entire living pictures album. Oh and 2112 too. Shit. So glad I got see them on their last tour and 10 years prior to that too.
Saw them live 4 times always great time. Three great and very humble men.
I have always felt blessed to be able to say I have seen Rush live many times and every time they were better...
I recommend the songs: "Freewill", "Xanadu", "Cygnus" and "Camera Eye".
The fact that you took the time to
pronounce Neil Peart correctly... Sub.
It’s guys like you that are going to keep this music alive! These artists are at the age they are dying. There will never be another era of music like this ever! Between the years of 1955 to maybe late 90’s. All of us classic rockers that grew up our whole lives with this music are fading away.
Admired for his talent, respected for his intellect, loved for his humanity.
RIP Professor.
Just hit the bell hoping to see more of your Rush journey. I prefer earlier albums but they all have their place in their mark on Rush's history.
Hubby’s fav songs are “Freewill”, and “Red Barchetta”.
Mine are “Entre Nous”, and “The Trees”.
We dislike absolutely none of their pieces. Yes, they’re prog rock, but they go hard, too.
Tress , passage to Bangkok,vital signs, subdivisions, camera eye ,by tor and the snow dog,red barchetta are my favourite.couldnt bring myself to stop after two songs😂
Might I recommend buying the DVD "Rush In Rio".
One of the Best Trios, RIP Neil Peart and Loved Rush since childhood
Hey man. Great reaction. When you said progressive rock before it was progressive rock...you're right. Rush is actually THE standard of progressive rock.
The rumor is that John Bonham did not like Neil Peart.. he thought he wasn't all that good... i like led zeppelin but It has been a point of contention between rush and zepplin fans for years.. Neil never compared himself or judged others abilities only ever tried to build up others and not break them down... Buddy Rich was Neils idol.. explains why Neil had alot of jazz influence in his playing
John was great, for a minute, no gimmick control. Neil was at the top for 40 years, many great drummers for a minute but Nejl was the Professor.
Rodney Cook don’t forget Keith Moon! Another idol of Neil’s.
Classic case of a peer feeling insecure and threatened by another's talents and skills
Stingray78 I agree. Bonham was good, but not as good as Keith or Neil. Zep fans always argue over this, but I have many friends that are drummers (at least 10) that all think Neil was better than Bonham. Just listening to both bands, you can tell, or watching concert footage.
Lerxst Dirkst No doubt.
Bonham was fantastic, but technically Peart was superior. Danny Carey of Tool also
I grew up with Rush.. Every Album Every Concert Tour... My Favorite Band all time the joy you feel is the Joy I have every time I listen to this band....
RUSH R40 Toronto 2015 gave you an idea of the Power of Rush Live in Concert Last Time I saw them Live.....Available now on CD/DVD/Blu-ray!
"More people need to hear this."
Truer words have never been spoken.
