![FIRST TIME HEARING Rush - Freewill (Audio) [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DgiXbfyJ0_w/mqdefault.jpg)
Thanks for bringing me along to check out Rush 😊
True story. I grew up in a town outside Toronto and they lived in the next town. It was 80 '81' We heard music coming from the factories and we climbed on the dumpsters to watch in the window and saw them rocking out making the most impressive sounds I've ever heard. They saw us and came out and talked to us about hockey That's what we Canadians do 😂) we talked about the music they were making and their cars they're cars were gorgeous. They talked to us about a half hour and then Geddy and Alex gave us guitar picks and Neil gave us drumsticks they were so down to earth and humble and when I was older I was lucky enough to see them live in 88 and 03. In 03 I saw them in front of 500,000 crazy Canadians. The first live show was incredible as well the guitar solos and the drum solo were Epic. If you want react to a Rush treasure who no one really reacts to is a song called Battlescar it's Rush with another Canadian band Max Webster it's a really sick song I know you would appreciate and True Rush fans would love to see you react to it. Peace out ✌️ ☮️
Not many know the connection between Rush and Max Webster. It’s nice to see I’m not the only one that remembers.
COOL !!
@@rickschlosser6793 I just love Max Webster as well as Rush I've seen them and Kim Mitchell 3 times solo. I also had the pleasure of meeting Kim 4 different times. He used to frequent the music shop in Thornhill and came into country style donuts all the time I think he's from willowdale. Nice to know someone is with me on Battlescar
I think I remember this story from a previous Rush reaction. It's still cool to hear about. I'll add that one to the list
And now Canada is an airport departure lounge
Great reaction! You mentioned how hard it is to make a song or album and you are right. Especially because Geddy Lee, in particular, was/is a perfectionist when it came to making albums. He labored extensively over every performance and mixing process. I'm ready his book right now ("My 'Effing Life") and he talks about how he used to drive himself "to distraction" over the recording process. Alex is also a perfectionist, in his own way, but not as anal retentive as Geddy. Neil was also a perfectionist but his "passion" extended to his performance -- getting the right take -- but, as I understand it, he didn't do as much with mixing and all the post-recording process. That was Geddy's "favorite headache", to borrow a euphemism he coined. Anyway, I also used to a drummer in a working band and I've spent many hours at the recording studio and it is very taxing. But, it's all a part of the life we love, being musicians.
Yeah being perfectionists can add to the stress of writing what you love, not knowing if the general audience will love or hate it
Watch them in live videos!!! With this video, they show the individual musicians playing separate parts, during the studio recording! But the amazing thing is when they play this live, Geddy plays bass, sings, & plays the keyboards with his feet, while Alex uses occasional loops to sustain a sound while he switches to a different guitar part, while Neil is just fantastic on the drums & percussion, while writing 99% of the lyrics! Phenomenal band, RIP Neil!!!
Oh this isn't the first Rush video I've reacted to. There's a whole playlist. People recommended reacting to the music video of this though
That studio was right by my grandparents' place. Amazing to me to think that i was so close to this being recorded, maybe even while it was being recorded, and didn't know it until years and years later. Thanks for the reaction
That's really cool. If only you had known back then, you might could have had a chance to get a sneak peek
The older on-stage footage in the video is made up of random scenes from their Farewell To Kings and Xanadu music videos filmed in 1977. The Limelight video was filmed in the winter of 1980/81.
It's cool they did that
This was filmed at Le Studio in Morin Heights, Quebec. It was a studio used by a lot of musicians at that time. It was secluded but not that far away from Toronto so they were able to spend more time with their families. That was a older footage of them probably playing La Villa Strangiato from the 70's that they intertwined in the video.
Limelight came out in the early 80's.
The song especially Alex Lifeson's solo has a bittersweet feel to it. Neil Peart wrote the lyrics and he was a quiet private person and as their fame rose the more the adoration and the infringement on their personal lives happened. This was uncomfortable for Neil.
Songs he used the Xylophone
on. There are many. Xanadu from Exit Stage Left (banger performance!!)
La Villa Strangiato official music video 🤯
Any of Neil Peart's drum solos.
Circumstances is another song where Neil talks about trying to get his career going and how it effected him once he did.
Geddy Lee just released his autobiography called My Effin Life. I am reading it now and it is excellent. It really gives you an idea of lives of the band and the music scene and how it effected their families.
no, Xanadu on the stage shots , Ged's got the double neck, and it's slower ( or maybe both). And I'm wondering why I've seen your name before, probably cuz were both Rush fanatics !
@@kevindohn6776 Thanks 😊
Studios were very expensive to set up in the 70s and there weren't many of them in Canada. Le Studio had an international reputation and an associated residence. Many famous bands recorded there: The Bee Gees, David Bowie, Jeff Healey Band, April Wine, Sting, Corey Hart, Luba and Rush, of course. After the founding engineer retired and recording equipment got cheaper and cheaper, Le Studio faded into the sunset. PS. Morin Heights is a six hour drive from downtown Toronto
Wow that's pretty cool. I think I can understand adding in the older footage like that.
I reacted to Xanadu with brandoirl. I don't remember the xylophone in that one, but it was also a pretty lengthy reaction, maybe it was in there.
@@AceofBadeReacts The xylophone was used in Spirit of Radio as well. I can't remember all the songs it was used it but any percussion instruments or drums in his were there because he used them. Nothing was there that was just for show
Thank you for the reaction video for Rush Limelight. I believe you and your followers would also enjoy Rush-The Garden-Clockwork Angels Tour-Live
Thank you so much for the donation. I'll definitely be sure to check that out. I have it ready to go (Most likely tomorrow or Tuesday. It's been a very busy week of moving and working)
If you keep watching, you get 40+ years, so you'll see Neil and all three with very different hair and style phases.
That's pretty fun to know
Thanks for a fun reaction.
Love Rush.
I've always loved this song! If you haven't already, you need to check out Rush in a live setting. They are a phenomenal band, and you can watch Geddy Lee play bass, pedals, keys and sing --all at the same time! I suggest checking out the live performance of 'Jacob's Ladder' live from the R40 tour.
Be sure to check out the rush playlist for other reactions I've done on this channel
Limelight can be considered as an autobiography by Neil. He always struggled with the lack of privacy that fame brought.
Oh that's a cool way to look at it
Yes, "3 or 4 different recordings by himself" and yet... and yet... they were also able to play that song many hundreds of times live - every time in a single take. Crazy talent.
And, of course, every member of the band was on the bleeding edge of music technology, which sure helped.
PS - Great pick-up/observation on the differing tones of the first and second halves of the song.
Oh for sure. They had it down 100%
The remote location is Le Studio in Morin Heights, Quebec. The Police were among other bands that recorded there. The Rush official video for Tom Sawyer was recorded somewhat similarly.
Neil Peart has a lot of additional percussion accessories. He uses a lot of them in his Frankfurt, Germany drum solo.
I might have to check out the drum solo after I check out the priority requested video
Just a quick note, Rush is hard to Bob your head to in first pass... they change time signatures all the time. In fact, this song is written in 4/4, 3/4, 7/4, and 7/8.
Haha yeah it seems all over the place the first time you listen to it
Peart fell so in love with this studio's location that he purchased a cabin/cottage on a large tract of land not very far from the studio.
PS - Peart pronounced his name "P - ear - T" rather than "P - ur - T."
I'm guessing they practiced and wrote music there a few times? And yeah, I'll get it right eventually
@@AceofBadeReacts, they first recorded there for 1979’s Permanent Waves and returned for the next four albums, if memory serves. Le Studio had a star-studded client history but, sadly, it eventually went out of business and the place lies in ruins today.
Oh, and all but one of the songs on Moving Pictures were actually written at Ronnie Hawkins’ farm (which housed a recording studio) northeast of Toronto. “The Hawk” (who passed recently) was a legendary character responsible for establishing a music scene in Toronto. He was a 50’s transplant from Arkansas who had some early rockabilly hits, but was best known for having assembled and mentored Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, The Band.
@@SnowDogisVictorious Wow that's incredible
They were supposed to have been preparing a live album and then touring it, but decided instead to go right back into studio. Permanent Waves had effectively broke them on FM radio in North America and propelled them into platinum-level sales and arena-sized concert territory.
That advice was initially given to them by their friend, Cliff Burnstein, who was the guy who had signed them to Mecury in '74. A couple of years after providing this advice, Burnstein co-founded the music production company, Q-Prime, which has managed Metallica since 1984.
About the decision to go right back into the studio to record Moving Pictures (striking while the iron was hot, so to speak), Geddy Lee has called it the second best decision the band ever made. The first was refusing to relent to all of the pressure from Mercury and their own management team to step back from progressive epics (which seemed to have failed miserably with the poor reception of their third album (in just two years) 1975's Caress of Steel).
Instead of providing the (somewhat) more radio friendly tunes that they would ultimately deliver in '79 and '80 with Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures, Neil, Geddy, and Alex said [Screw] it, resolving instead to make the album they wanted to make, 1976's 2112. Considered their (first) opus, this record contained only five songs, with the entire first side of the record containing a 7-suite masterpiece called 2112 ("twenty one twelve"). Notwithstanding its length and distinct lack of any song even remotely radio friendly), 2112 became their most successful album at the time and would eventually go multi-platinum in the US, UK, and Canada.
It's a glockenspiel not a xylophone and check out Xanadu from Exit Stage Left if you want to see Neil use that, and every other percussion instrument under the sun, while Geddy and Alex both play double necks. 😊
He reacted to it last month.
I did check it out with BrandoIRL if you want to check out the playlist of Rush. Although I don't remember seeing it in Xanadu. But there was also a lot happening in that video
@@AceofBadeReacts Neil plays it while Geddy is doing the synth part. You don't see it on the first chorus but you do on the second. 😊
(Rush - Tom Sawyer) is a must. Recording in that same studio.
We actually did react to Tom Sawyer live. It should all be part of the Rush playlist
Re: the xylophone, there were a number of songs on which it was used, although one needs to clarify what the "it" is/was.
For the analog version you saw in the video, I would suggest "Closer to the Heart" and "Xanadu" - both of which featured even more percussion than just a glockenspiel and drums... we're talking cow bell and a big-@ss set of chymes too!
For the digital xylophones he came to use as soon as the tech existed, the best song to check out would actually be one of Peart's drum solos (which varied over time, but always had some of the same, melodic components). Most commonly suggested would be his live Frankfurt solo from 2004.
I didn't know there was a such thing as a digital xylophone
@@AceofBadeReacts, well, I’m a lawyer, not a drum tech, but it’s my understanding that one can program those pads to make almost any sound. It’s just that Peart did program some of them to sound like a xylophone.
There is a great video for Tom Sawyer in that is shot in the same way in the same studio. There are lots of songs where Neil plays the Xylophone. One of the most amazing videos where he plays it is his drum solo, live in Frankfurt.
Apparently he played it in Xanadu but I just don't remember seeing it. I do want to check out that drum solo though
Limelight is my second favorite song by Rush, behind Subdivisions. Greatest band of all-time, in my book. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
LONG LIVE RUSH ❤
As I understand it, the guitar solo you heard here was a composite of 5 takes. If you'd like to see one of Alex's best live solos, I recommend The Camera Eye, from side 2 of the same album, as performed on the Time Machine Tour video. Cheers from Toronto!
🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🐐 🐐 🐐
I"ll add it to the list
Check out Xanadu live in Montreal 1981 from the exit stage left tour. One of their best live performances and a great use of xylophone, chimes, and tubular bells
I actually did a while back. Check out the playlist for all the Rush reactions
Same place and same dog seen in the April Wine’s I like to rock video.
Great song too.
That's pretty cool. I guess the dog is a celebrity
I had to put a watermark over the video because of copyright shenanigans. Just like always, the link to the video is in the description
For the 4789th time, his name is Neil PEERT, not 'Pert'.....
I might need 11 more reminders just to round that number up
Xylophones are just a small bit.
Check out anything from the live recording Exit Stage Left.
The song Xanadu is the best bet here.
Neil is basically lost in a forest of percussion.
I need to go back and watch my own reaction of Xanadu apparently. I just don't remember seeing it
Check out the Exit Stage Left video of the song Xanadu. Neil Peart uses everything on that song😅.
Check out the reaction for Xanadu (I had forgotten he uses the xylophone/glockenspiel during this recording)
POST-POST-POST-SCRIPT - while I may have been a Rush fan for over four decades and counting, I nonetheless also have an 8-year-old son. So, let me just say that I have a 1500 CP, 3-Star Scizor with two charged attacks that kicks serious butt in the Great League!!!
That is awesome. Scizor is my favorite Pokemon. In fact, I'm working on my gen 4 living Pokedex on Twitch (my streaming schedule is on the socials) and I'm planning on running Scizor on the team since it's Heartgold
@@AceofBadeReacts, my favourite is Psyduck. Ditto for my wife. That may have something to do with our exceptionally gifted (and ADHD) kiddo!
@@SnowDogisVictorious great Pokemon. I managed to catch both of them on Pokemon Platinum already. I also have ADHD.
He uses the Xylophone in multiple songs. Try the Spirit of Radio. Audio only with lyrics.
I recommend the graphic novel video of Spirit of Radio.
It is on the list to check out
🏆🏆🏆🏆 P.S. Neil plays the xylophone in numerous songs, including " Xanadu," "A Farewell To Kings", and "Closer To The Heart. "😊😊
.... The Spirit of Radio, too
Awesome to know
Also used on La Villa Strangiato and Witch Hunt.. it's a glockenspiel 😊
@@timjones8377 Yes, correct... It's a glockenspiel
German shepherd? That was no German Shepherd
Well, great reaction, buttttt. If you check out the same song live from Exit Stage Left. You'll understand what musical geniuses they were and are. RIP Neil. The main writer of most of their songs.
For sure. It's just the music video was the one I was told to check out
Awww, shame on you, Ace 😉 Apparently, you've forgotten about your own reaction to Zanadu where the glockenspiel (xylophone) was used. I can't believe you've only done 4 reactions so far. I think you should dive into the rabbit hole a little further 😁 especially seeing how much you've done with The Warning. Neil is one of Pau's biggest inspirations, after all 😉
Here are some suggestions: The Spirit of Radio (my all-time favorite) or Headlong Flight or The Anarchist. Last two are from their final album, Clockwork Angels. I think you may hear some very interesting stuff 🤘😜
Yeah I do want to do more. My main issue is Rush gets copyrighted a lot and even this video took a lot longer to release than it should have. Heck, even Xanadu got re-copyright claimed and it only recently fell off. Those are on the list to check out. Someone also did a priority request for a Rush song, so that will be up hopefully pretty soon. I was going to sit down and react to it tomorrow after I get home.
@AceofBadeReacts That's excellent news! I'm surprised about the copyright problems. Most reactors haven't experienced that, that I've seen. Best of luck, as I look forward to seeing what you do 🤘
@@jonathanspahn7308 Yeah the live videos seem to have less issues. This one did, that's why I had to put a watermark over it. Probably no more music videos and just stick to live performances
The remote place is not really remote it’s in Morin heights in the laurentien just 1 hr from Montreal Canada up north
Oh I see
@@AceofBadeReacts no problem was glad to inform you that 😁
She needs the head phones
She had earbuds in
You think THIS is a big drum set?! You should never watch a live version of their songs! 🤣
Alright, I won't check out any more of their live videos
Apparently you didn't listen to the lyrics. They were kind of out of the limelight studio
The song is about being in the limelight. I don't think there's a point where they sing about being out of it
So, how was the song? 30s of comment from the 10min mark
Pretty sure we said we liked it
Can you please react to Stick it out by Rush, please 😊
It is on the list
Cant wait
dude, you need a new microphone! lol
The room I was in just echoed because of hardwood floor. There's a decent amount of reactions in that room, but I just moved to a new location and there's no echo
Hair ???? REALY????????! Hair is what you got to say about this? OK....WOW> definatly no on your channle!!!!. Live well and do it on your own time please and thanks.
You have opened my eyes. Got it. Won't ever mention anything other than music ever again on my channel.
Great reaction!!! I would suggest the songs below to add to your Rush journey and reactions (ones that you haven't reacted to yet). All of these are absolutely fire!!! Especially all of the LIVE instrumentals with Geddy’s Bass, Alex’s Guitar, and Neil’s percussive artistry.
- La Villa Strangiato - Live in Cleveland from 2011 Time Machine Tour (Instrumental - custom "carnival" intro) - original was 1978. Pure musicianship!!! UNMATCHED - best instrumental EVER.
- Working Man... Live in Cleveland from 2011 Time Machine Tour (original studio version was in 1974)...The pure sight and performance of three men in their upper 50's take control of the stage and perform and play like they were in their 20's.
- YYZ…live from Rio in 2002 (instrumental)…original was 1981
- Best Intro Ever - Live version (R30 tour 2004) - various riffs from their 1970's songs leading into Spirit of Radio - original was 1980
- Closer to the Heart (Live 1998 Different Stages) - original was 1977
- The Garden (Clockwork Angels tour live) - original was 2012
- Subdivisions...studio version or live version - original was 1982
- Freewill... Live from Snakes and Arrows Tour 2007 - original was 1980
- Fly by Night - original was 1975
- Leave that Thing Alone - Live in Cleveland from 2011 Time Machine Tour (Instrumental) - original was 1993
- Malignant Narcissism (instrumental) and Drum Solo - Live 2008 Snakes and Arrows Tour - original was 2007
- Also...Neil Peart's Drum Solo Live from Frankfurt 2004. He was The Professor...a pure musician and percussionist...not just a "drummer". Be ready to be amazed by not just his hand coordination...but most of all his foot coordination...basically his feet being completely individual in timing from his hands during segments of this performance. He was the master of this technique.
Trying to find dollcake'ss YT channel but you're missing the link. :(
Hi! Sorry about that I'm right here 👋🏻😊
yeah that was my bad. It has been added
They are recording at Le Studio, which is around 60 miles north of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in the laurentiens, which is cottage country with forest, mountains, and lakes. It was a famous recording studio in the 70's, 80's & 90's, but went out of business as computers and home recording took over. The Police recorded there, David Bowie, Bryan Adams, April Wine, and many others. There was a small lake right behind the studio, and a guest house that the bands would live in while they were there. The video for Tom Sawyer was also recorded in there. Sadly. it's all gone now, just an empty lot. In this particular video, the stage shots are actually the song Xanadu, I don't really like how they did that, but the song is about living on the lighted stage, so i guess that why they did it. I don't think Geddy was wearing a jumpsuit, I think it's just a matching sweatshirt & sweat pants, but who knows, maybe he was still wearing his pajamas !
Oh people said different songs for the live performance. I think it was a nice touch. It showed multiple aspects of being a band
As Geddy stated... it's P 'ear' t. Like your ear. That being said, even Taylor Hawkins said Pert.
I think I heard it on Family Guy and it just stuck with me
@AceofBadeReacts Yeah, that was an inside joke on various episodes because Seth MacFarlane is a huge Rush fan. Same with Trailer Park Boys. In fact, Bubbles can do a mean 'Closer to the Heart' . It's on YT... check it out.
I sure hope you guys read the comments, considering I wrote a friggin' novel !!!
I read every comment. I've just been in the process of moving and I finally finished and am now getting caught up on all of them
I think the stage stuff was from their Xanadu video, which was shot live on stage, but without an audience, same as the Closer to the heart video, they don't use double neck guitars in Limelight.
Interesting
