The long waited song! A masterpiece for sure! So excited for our new face cam! Looks a little darker and i can see the video and audio not 100 % fit, i will fix it to next time we record. So far we use mobile light, so not optimal. We need more lights, also why we do save up for a Elgato Ring Light, that should make it perfect!

The single greatest live performance by any band ever. How three guys can sound like an entire orchestra. P.S. Rush did the studio recording in one take. 😊
I'm 64 years old and have seen lots of "live" performances...I can't think of ANY that rivals this one as far as musicianship. These 3 are so good at what they do, it's simply mind boggling.
I’ve watched this Xanadu live video countless times over the years. When Alex starts playing the guitar solo near the end of the song I get goosebumps every time.
There’s a bunch of Rush songs that affect me the same way when they are played live. I saw this tour in person and it brings back so many amazing memories.
The bassist ( Geddy ) was playing rhythm guitar on that double neck during the guitar solo (Alex) near the end, and doing low notes with his foot on the bass pedals. i was at that show, I'm from Montreal, as a matter of fact I saw 1 show from every tour since 1978, that's 19 times I've seen RUSH
greatest rock song ever performed live....EVER....im 56....been listening to this version since the VCR tape came out in the 80s...I wore the tape out stopping and re listening to so many parts....and still listen to it almost every day since....its a true masterpiece....my fav reaction to watch is this song...this version....havent seen anyone not be blown away by it...especially when other musicians see it....if someone asked if you were stranded on a desert island with one song, this would be mine...this version....and id never grow tired of it....
64 yo here. Rush is one of my favorite bands of all eras. Saw them in concert twice. Seeing this song performed live was phenomenal. Neil Peart is the GOAT!
I’ve never seen a young lady so intrigued and completely enveloped in what she was experience she was the most in tune person I’ve ever seen she was really being a human sponge and taking it in it was really wonderful
I start my day "Rocking out' on guitar with Rush ( today it was Finding my way, Anthem, and Passage to Bangkok). I'm always so amped up afterwards. Positive is the best word to describe how this band makes you (and me) feel :)
Always appreciate your reactions. These Rush reactions have been so much fun. I really noticed the new quality of video. Thanks for the eye candy hope you get lots of great reactions on your new camera. Also for Rush reactions check for a "Stick Hits" version. These re-mastered videos are absolutely the best quality. Thanks for getting to this classic performance. Please also consider my recommendation of "Leave that thing alone" Live from the 2011 Time Machine tour. You will be amazed at the Bass work and drums.
I saw RUSH six times starting in late 1974 to 1982. Great performance of a great song by three phenomenal musicians! Later performances to react to are: The Garden from the 2015 tour. Bravado any version! YYZ in Rio. La Villa Strangiato live, Cygnus X1 Book 1 & Hemispheres Book 2.
The ultimate Rush performance. There are a number of amazing guitarists out there. I think if either Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen or whoever had produced this performance it would have been lauded & appreciated more. I love those guys but Alex's performance here is on a par with anything those guys have done. Underrated for sure, but not by Rush fans. 3 of the greatest musicians in Rock just happened to play in the same band - the perfect storm.
I always wished they'd used more camera shots and showed Geddy playing the pedals with is feet while also singing and playing the bass, so people can see where those other sounds are coming from and how crazy coordinated he is.
A brilliant performance of an amazing song! Alex and Geddy are joking around on stage while playing incredibly complicated music. That's what happens when you have been playing with your best buddy since you were 16. Alex Lifeson the guitarist also plays acoustic guitar, mandola and later on keyboards. The instrumental was YYZ and the other song you were talking about is Limelight. I have left some Rush songs suggestions already so I won't leave anymore now.😉 I have a new band suggestion. They are a newer Canadian band but they play old school rock and are big Rush fans as well. Their name is Crown Lands and the song is Lady of the Lake ( official music video Have a good one. Cheers 🇨🇦
I loved the Limestone mis-title. Although, living in the limestone doesn't make much sense lyrically.😅 Nice reaction to what is an amazing performance. I saw Rush do this song at a 1980 concert. Looking forward to your future Rush reactions. The 2112 comic book style video is a must watch. A 20 minute plus epic. Thanks.
You mentioned how much practicing it must have taken, and that is surely true, but when they recorded the studio version of this, they did it in one take and that is what went on the album. I'm new to your channel so I don't know what other Rush songs you have reviewed, but if you haven't watched YYZ live in Rio, you will love it!.]
First time watcher, already love you guys! Sometimes all it takes is a pair of eyes soaking in these three magical musicians in wild amazement, at least I hope so. Keep Rocking! Thanks for the vid!
Appreciate you guys reacting to this. It really shows how much they do on stage to produce what you hear on their recordings. You really need to se them perform to totally appreciate their talent. If you both enjoy the instrumental tracks I would highly recommend La Vila Strangiato , Leave that thing alone, a where’s my thing, and working man live in Cleveland.
Geddy's doubleneck is a bass and 12 string guitar. He switches to the 12 string neck when Alex starts his main outro solo right after the last vocal passage. Geddy stays on the 12 string for the remaining minute and a half of the song but the video doesn't show it very well, most of the attention is on Alex.
Keep at it guys and enjoy exploring music. I did not appreciate growing up with the British Invasion through all of the variations of music from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and so on. I have to admit I do like music that is actually played over sampling, but times change and so does the music. Have fun!
Alex smoothly switching from 12 to 6 strings at 12:41. That's just sick. It's one thing to do that during a break in the song, but mid -verse is ridiculous.
Rush what a band !!!! The Goat Neil and also Geddy. Alex so underated !!!! Neil here is like an orchestral percussion section: Chimes, triangles, temple blocks, glockenspiel, bell towers and tubular bells plus his huge kit and he also writes the lyrics. Have seen them 9 times first in 74 at my high school this version of the song was the best I saw. RIP Neil "The Professor"
I just came across your channel today and I love your reaction to this song! You noticed both Neil’s stick toss and stick spin as well as Alex’s quick hands moving from the 12-string to the 6-string on his doubleneck guitar. Soooo many reactors miss all of those. I didn’t notice if you saw Alex and Geddy playing foot pedals but that’s really difficult to notice. You have a new subscriber! Also, I’d like to donate to help you get the light you spoke about. Please let me know how I can do that. Thank you!
Welcome to our channel! We have some Rush reactions already, so we got told that they use the pedals, i asked about if it was a outside man playing synth, but no, these 3 people are so good together! U can donate on patreon, and if u take the highest u can even get a request every month who will skip whole our long queue: www.patreon.com/join/CelcaReact
If you want to react to a Neil Peart drum solo, I personally would suggest Neil's performance of Cotton Tail in the early 90s at the Buddy Rich tribute.
Neil on Drums plays the Bell Tree at one point in the song. The bell tree is a nested set of bells stacked vertically. You can see him play it near the end of the song.
HI guys. Your doing a fantastic job, taking the music in and enjoying it. Welcome to Ruch. 3 guys that made music to be played live, to share the possibilities of what music can do. As you are both musicians, then you know where it's at. Good work.
Geddy handling vocals, bass, synth, floor pedals (taurus) AND guitar in one song. Alex also using both necks on the guitar and taurus foot pedals. Neil shredding on the drums and working an orchestra's worth of percussion. Talk about putting the power in Power Trio.
I believe you were wondering about the Glockenspiel, in Neil's drum set. The hanging curved cymbals, from small on the bottom to larger on top. Glockenspiel!
You've heard a lot of songs from the late 70's and very early 80's so far. You should try lesser reacted to songs from different eras of Rush to see what you think now! 1982 - Analog Kid 1984 - Red Sector A 1985 - Middletown Dreams 1987 - Time Stands Still 1989 - Available Light 1991 - Ghost of a Chance 1993 - Animate 1996 - Driven 2002 - Earthshine (live) 2007 - Far Cry 2012 - Headlong Flight Don't think there's a Rush fan that will say any of those songs are bad!
Eagerly awaiting the next Rush reaction! 🤗 And maybe try some Steely Dan! 🤗 I think you'll really like them too. 🤔 AJA (pronounced Asia) off the Steely Dan Album Aja. 🥰🐰
Elgato facecam. It is really good, just blurry on the faces and too dark. Just wait to we get the elgato ring. Then is perfect. But ty. 100 % a great upgrading!
Later as technology advanced , needing amps behind them became obsolete. So Geddy in his whimsical personality had different props behind him on stage. One tour was chicken roasters. One was popcorn poppers. One was washing machines.
I love dream theater. What song, also keep in my queue is probably 2-3 years waiting time... We take them in orders beside payed Patreon request. Ty for watching

I would say it’s a toss up between this & “Live after Death” by Iron Maiden.
@@christophercampbell4671I think that the song remains the same from Led Zeppelin falls into one of the best performances too.
I'm 64 years old and have seen lots of "live" performances...I can't think of ANY that rivals this one as far as musicianship. These 3 are so good at what they do, it's simply mind boggling.
Both Alex and Geddy played Moog Taurus pedals in this song while playing their other instruments.
I’ve watched this Xanadu live video countless times over the years. When Alex starts playing the guitar solo near the end of the song I get goosebumps every time.
Yeah that solo is I’m the top 5 for me. I cannot never pick a number 1 so top 5 is great

Ty for the info! MUST have been a GREAT concert!
Rush, the greatest 3 piece rock band in history, no debate, over.
100%, it’s not even fair

Celika is calm all the time, not only on video. ty for watching!
Celika looks spellbound. Same as I was on first listen. Love it.
Its readily apparent watching Rush live. They love each other and they love playing together. Thats why they lasted so long.
Great reaction. Its refreshing to see people finally discovering Rush.Thanks for appreciating the musicianship.
Alex's tone on that 12 string is almost bell-like and makes this version superior to the studio version. Flawless!
🎵👍 thanks for experiencing Rush! They've been a positive part of my life since 1978 😄
I start my day "Rocking out' on guitar with Rush ( today it was Finding my way, Anthem, and Passage to Bangkok). I'm always so amped up afterwards. Positive is the best word to describe how this band makes you (and me) feel :)
Absolutely !!!!!!
Loved RUSH!! I saw them many times live here in Canada 🇨🇦. Phenomenal!!! 🇨🇦
You will get a lot of attention doing Rush songs. They are that good and have possibly one of the largest group of loyal followers.
We see that. But we not doing it for views, but because they are great and u guys too

Wow, this was excellent quality and sound. What a difference. Have heard of Rush. They are really good musicians! Great reaction and love you guys.
Ty so much Jennifer!
Check out the Rush performance of La Villa Strangiato at the Pinkpop festival. Alex is incredible.

I have left some Rush songs suggestions already so I won't leave anymore now.😉
I have a new band suggestion. They are a newer Canadian band but they play old school rock and are big Rush fans as well.
Their name is Crown Lands and the song is Lady of the Lake ( official music video
Have a good one.

Ty so much!
@@CelcaReact There is also a live performance I just found of Lady of the Lake which I think would be even better than the video.

The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be
When you react to 2112 I'd recommend the animation video if you really want to understand the story behind the song. Trust me, it's incredible.

Only Rush can make you say....'Already?' and 'It's over?'..after a 14 minute long song.
One of iconic soang and legendary live perform in prog rock history.
I'm a huge Rush fan and bought 2112 the day of its release. If you love 80s progressive rock and 80s metal and want a newer band try "Ghost"
I believe you were wondering about the Glockenspiel, in Neil's drum set. The hanging curved cymbals, from small on the bottom to larger on top. Glockenspiel!
no that's a bell tree, a glockenspiel is similar to a xylophone
Kansas is what it would be like for more musicians to be playing the different Instruments. But never exceeding the Level of Rush.
Question: 🤔 "What do 🎛️🎚️ Drum Machines want to be when they grow up?"
Answer: 🥁 "Neil Peart aka The Professor!" ☺️🥰🐰
Ya, he is the best!
You should check out Neil Peart’s drum solo recorded in Frankfurt.
already done that one :)
Lotta necks on that stage!
cool reaction, those 80's synths just make a sound unlike no other synths since
70s synths. Oberheim eight voice, minimoog, and Taurus pedals
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
Hey if you can make enough on this channel to buy things ! More power to you ! Rush is awesome. Pure genius!!!

12/6 and 4/12 strings.
He didn't used the 12 string much (Lee) u know why?
