I consider myself privileged to have seen them live during my lifetime. Thank you Geddy, Alex, and Neil. Rush may be gone but they'll never be forgotten.
I went to see Geddy Lee's "My Effin' Life" spoken-word discussion at the Orpheum Theater in Boston last week. Geddy mentioned that he and Alex are making new music together and will likely go out on the road again next year, but not as Rush. He did mention that Alex is currently dealing with a health issue, but he did not elaborate on it. Hopefully Alex gets well soon so they can get into the recording studio.
Simply nerds who can't be honest with themselves and admit that their heroes had seen better days. Now, in the 70's and 80's, I won't deny that they hung the moon!
It doesn't matter how old you are. If you Rock you Rock, all else is irrelevant. Masters of their art, each one a virtuoso on their instruments. Effortless perfection.
Indeed 'we' did! Saw them play touring off the single lead as the warm up on a triple bill in Cleveland. Foreigner was in the rocking chair and Uriah Heap was touring off Look at Yourself album. One helluva show all around! As someone somewhere once said, Cleveland Rocks!
Is it just me, or at 2:43 does Neil nonchalantly realize "Damn, I need to pick up the pace with these guys, or I'm gonna get left behind!" 😂 RIP Professor. Greatest Canadian Band Ever
I saw them 4 times prior to 1985 and they were incredible. By the 90's, they were in decline especially Geddy's vocals. I'm glad I didn't see them again. I like to think of a band going out at the top of their game. This song is nowhere near their zenith.
@@edcollins9377 I disagree. I saw them in every decade since the 70s. 2112 was an incredible album. The early stuff was rough, but 2112 was in their prime.
@@MBGolfer The early stuff kicked ass! I'm surprised you liked 2112 if you didn't like By Tor, Fly By Night, Anthem, Working Man, Finding My Way, etc. In the late 80's Geddy's voice started changing and no longer sounded good.
It doesn't matter how long ago this was, how many years they've played, how many concerts you attended of theirs, videos watched, years listening to in the car, etc. For me it's always..." DAAAMN!!! "...sometimes with tears! I'm nearly 63, just finished this video and......" DAAAMN !!!! "
love it, as any rush fan knows, it was dj donna halper in cleveland who played "working man" in rotation in cleveland, after "rush" came out, and the rest is history. i know this sounds cliché but i heard working man on the night shift in kansas city around the same time and immediately set out to find the record and was hooked, been a fan ever since.
Who would have thought back then, how fitting, yet bittersweet, it would be that Working Man would be the last song they would ever play together, live.?
When The Professor looks at you... in a show, live, with his hands like that... One can say... one has accomplished something right this feccking moment. 3 masters at their art ! I so much love these dudes... so much. :)
Wow. Just wow. I'm not a real Rush fan and didn't realize Neil wasn't the original drummer until last week. I came here to hear a version with Neil playing the skins as opposed to the studio recording, and all I can say is wow. Wow.
so thankful i got to see them live 3 times. my dad loved them beyond anything... he passed away and shortly after rush stopped performing... love them so much
I know I commented here before but after watching them go to work on their guitars it made me think they were in a massive verbal battle and at the same time they whooped each other’s ass. I Never get sick of this song.
I wonder how many other bands has the fans like Rush? Fans that would travel the tour with them…I thank you for your dedication to Canada’s Premier Rock band RUSH!
This came on the radio when I was about home. My roommate was there asleep (I was on 2nd shift.). So I drove around till the song was over so I didn’t wake him. I told him later. He appreciated it.
Every time I listen to Working Man I think, Alex "out Tony Iommi's, Tony Iommi" the Album version lays down a marker from Mr Lifeson to Mr Iommi in case of, "imitation as a genuine show of respect like flattery" but it's not actually what you can call, imitation because Alex is authentic to the bone and as often is said, he's underrated, humble and let's his guitar playing say it all. He's a class Act that every Rush fan knows. He's doesn't court the limelight.

Have played "Working Man" every Friday, for over 45 years, with a nice cold beer.
This makes me cry.....there is no denying they were the best. I miss them. RIP mighty Professor. X
why did this also make me cry
@Flamus Yourassus That song is so poignant....the lyrics certsinly came to fruition. ;(
Same here
Amazing !!!
Just feel lucky I was around the same time these guys were
better than 99% of reggae out there
I come here once in a while just to feel the hairs on my body stand straight up. What a performance!
Indubitably
This sucks. Listen to the version on "All The World's A Stage"! I'm sure it will make more than your hairs stand up! :)

Same, 1 million percent agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can that not bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye.
Exactly? How can a 60 year old men could rock so hard?
40 years of RUSH combined in one song!!
Alex is so underrated.
When they let him go, he goes.
I love Victor!
Alex and Terry Kath are the two most underrated guitarist.
>>Rush is so underrated!
Eddie Van Halen was asked in an interview how it feels to be the world's best guitarist; he replied, I wouldn't know why don't you ask Alex Lifeson.
The Cleveland crowd roared like a lion for their heroes, didn't they?
It's MY city! CLEVELAND ROCKS!!!! LONG LIVE RUSH! THANK YOU NEIL!!!
@@americansaxon2101 My city too, Brother!!!
@@WillieDuitt1 Awesome!
Cheers from Canada friend!

@@americansaxon2101 Niel Paert?
I love Neil's drumming, but I'm like Damn what a guitar player! Then I'm like Holy Shit what a band!
and that bass players pretty good too!
Greatest band to ever set on a Stage !!!
In The Name of the Bassist,
And Of The Guitarist,
And Of The World's Greatest Drummer...
AMEN
⚔️
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Perfection, yes. Effortless never. #RIPNeilPeart #RushIsTheirOwnGenre #GeddyCornGirl
🐐🐐🐐
To finish a concert, at that level of intensity, is unbelievable.
They could’ve climbed Everest, in an afternoon.
Man Alex can shred! So under rated.
Yeah- shades of Steve Vai.
How can a virtuoso be underrated?
What a force of nature this band was. After a three hour show, they still brought the thunder with ferocity and pure aggression!
Working Man in Cleveland...the song and town that gave them their start.
Indeed 'we' did! Saw them play touring off the single lead as the warm up on a triple bill in Cleveland. Foreigner was in the rocking chair and Uriah Heap was touring off Look at Yourself album. One helluva show all around! As someone somewhere once said, Cleveland Rocks!
CLEVELAND ROCKS!
@@guzzialfa CLEVELAND ROCKS!!! RUSH ROCKS!!!

Oh, I think it's all carefully planned,
I saw them in every decade since the 70s up to 2012. My final concert with my 16 year old son. Pure joy...RIP Professor.
I’m so jealous

@edcollins9377 I liked all of those too...but 2112 was my go to. Smoke a joint and get taken away by the story.
That poor guitar 🎸 Alex killed it !!!!
It's okay. He took it out for a nice dinner afterwards..
3 maestros on that stage. What an intro ⭐️⭐️⭐️🎵🎶🎼
I consider myself fortunate to have seen them live, in 3 of the different time frames, of their legendary careers!! Greatest performance's ever!!

Silence! The Gods are rockin' us, listen and hang on to this monster classic.

RUSH FOREVER !!!😢😢😢😢😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ WE ALL MISS YOU GUYS🙏💖 What a priceless expression from the professor !❤
Flannel shirt, Skull cap and Bass player doing a two step = Greatness!
They played in the right town that night.... Rock N Roll HOF just down the corner for those 3.
When The Professor looks at you... in a show, live, with his hands like that... One can say... one has accomplished something right this feccking moment. 3 masters at their art ! I so much love these dudes... so much. :)
The fact they are doing this is there late 50’s/ 60’s blows my mind
the best of the best
Wow. Just wow. I'm not a real Rush fan and didn't realize Neil wasn't the original drummer until last week. I came here to hear a version with Neil playing the skins as opposed to the studio recording, and all I can say is wow. Wow.

What can you say about this? If you love rock and roll music, you have no choice but to love this. Just freakin turn it up!
What a live band!!
I love Rush one of my all time favorite bands love their music
I know I commented here before but after watching them go to work on their guitars it made me think they were in a massive verbal battle and at the same time they whooped each other’s ass. I Never get sick of this song.
It will never get old, don’t worry
I wonder how many other bands has the fans like Rush? Fans that would travel the tour with them…I thank you for your dedication to Canada’s
Premier Rock band RUSH!

It's so nice to see them Rocking! Rush is número uno!
When u c geniuses in action it's Glorious!!😅😮🎉❤❤❤
To watch 3 masters put it on the line is so beautiful
Indubitably
It's so unfair how easy Alex makes the guitar look, I could never be able to do that
That's one of the reasons he is under rated. He makes it look too easy.
🎸🐐
Always A Rush When You Hear Rush.
Absolute FIRE!♨️ No one can touch that!
Ged's best bass tone ever!
4:40 kudos to the remote camera operator who captured this awesome shot. It has been used many times over the years.
OMG, Yes!! 1,000 percent! Epic moment in every way!!!!🐡🤟❣
This came on the radio when I was about home. My roommate was there asleep (I was on 2nd shift.). So I drove around till the song was over so I didn’t wake him. I told him later. He appreciated it.
Goddam. I saw them twice so long ago in a previous century. Never saw them again. This was incredible
Alex is SOOOO underrated!
So freaking good! Bad asses
MY CITY! CLEVELAND ROCKS!!!! LONG LIVE RUSH! THANK YOU NIEL!!!
Daaaaang! Getty Killing it! The entire band is tight AF!

Fun concert, actually amazing.
A showcase for the absolute brilliant Alex Lifeson!
Geddy's voice actually sounds better over the years.
Rest in Rock heaven, Neil...
No doubt the best of the best❤❤❤
This is too much talent for humans... Wow.

He's doesn't court the limelight.
Top of their game right hear.
Geddy’s voice has changed from the first album. Lol Their first album is my favourite. The ferocity of Geddy’s voice was epic!
Classic
🐐🐐🐐
Best live version? I like the part where alex runs out of high notes and has to keep going lower past the fret board.
God bless you Carmen...me too
GIVE'M HELL NEIL !!!!
Shredding the guitar
my dad is in that audience lol
