![Voice Of Baceprot - Mighty Island + Bonus Song [FIRST TIME REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7ydhl8tW4SE/mqdefault.jpg)
The reason people suggested rio is because the crowd is insanely into it. You should watch it.
Agreed!
Rio is a much faster tempo as well, although this version has clearer audio as it was recorded for blu ray release. Rio is still the better watch.
@@carlgibbons5777
The bass is clearer, which is very good, but the guitar is not loud enough (to my taste)
I agree, but for some reason that sound quality for a Rio just didn’t sound great
The crowd sings along to a song with no lyrics! That’s what makes the Rio video kick ass!
The crowd in the Rio version is amazing. They "sing" the instrumental!
Rio is the definitive live version of YYZ. On this tour, they slowed it down a little bit, to make a more full, rougher sound. Not that it's bad, but the people who made the request were right...Rio!
I think YYZ is the Toronto airport code and that pattern at the beginning is YYZ in morse code.
Correct
Yes! Originally of a old train station ☮️
👏🏼 🤘🏼
Wow! Never knew that. Just confirmed it. Been loving YYZ since i got the Exit Stage Left album on casette tape back in the 80s.
They do another instrumental that is even more intense. "La Villa Strangiato" from Exit Stage Left will blow your minds!. Please give this one a listen, it is epic. Thank you. ✌
I used to know every Rush song (including almost every solo) note for note. La Villa Strangiato might be a little harder to play if one doesn't struggle with odd time, but it was always my favorite of the two. Although I've forgotten how to play perhaps half of those songs now, YYZ and La Villa Strangiato are the easiest for me to remember because back then you had to figure everything out just by ear, and it took me a while to figure those two out.
It’s not just the crowd that makes the Rio version better but the overall mix is better. Honestly; if people are suggesting a specific song and version, there is a reason. Don’t ignore the requests please.
False. This mix is far better. Especially the bass. Rio has a muddy mix. Also, I like the slightly slower tempo of this performance.
@@Randsurfer Everyone has their opinion. Yours is certainly in the minority but I understand what you are saying. The tempo here seems too off from the original to my ears and I find just about every mix after Rio to be too heavy and compressed. To me, this mix sounds heavily produced vs Rio. Something even Rush fought with over the years trying to reproduce the true live sound. But again, we all have opinions.
I think my point is this though...to the reactors...especially if they are having people pay for reactions....watch the version the person requested. To me, if someone said you should try this specific lager beer but the person tries an IPA...its is still beer but.....
@@mpkelley20 Good points but it also matters what the reactor wants. Rio is a superior "experience". This one is a better performance and recording. Good idea to listen to both.
The audio recording is much better with this video but the crowd in the Rio video is once in a lifetime. Both great performances!
The atmosphere of the Rio one is so much better it made the song so much more powerful You're really need to do yourself justice and watch the Rio one
Like this live version, but the Rio version is way better IMHO because the crowd is super into it and their performance was feeding off that energy and it shows in their body language, expressions and playing.
The Rio version is insane. The crowd is singing to an instrumental. Good you guys will still check it out
Ha, you can never go wrong with Rush, but you really should have a look at the Rio version as well.
RIO was amazing! Like a crazy soccer game. They sing to an instrumental!!!!
When a live performance Rio Brazil or River Plate Argentina are available, always choose that, as the South American crowds are insane.
The Rio concerts were epic! That is their one South American tour which they filmed called RUSH in Rio. For some reason RUSH just never toured down there. So literally, these people had been waiting their entire lives to see these guys who they thought they never were ever going to see. Then it happened! The Rio crowds actually blew the band away. Yeah, you want to see those. It’s impressive.
From a Gary to Geddy your one of the most talented musician of all time! No one touches your talent on bass, keyboards, and singing! You are the definition of Unique and RUSH is not RUSH without your playing and vocals! To quote the movie: I LOVE YOU MAN! Alex and Neil as well!!
This is my essay to people who may not know RUSH or who Neil was professionally and his contributions to the art of drumming and lyrical writing! Enjoy!
RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR!
With heart felt admiration and sincerity!
Gary
🤗 Please do Rio on your own time! 😁 You won't regret it! It was the first time they played Rio! 🤔 There is definitely a difference between an audience who's seen Rush before 🤯 and a crowd who hasn't! Enjoy! 🥰🐰
🇨🇦 The crowd in Rio was crazy ! Yes, there are no lyrics, but the crowd in Rio were 'singing' along anyway !
Piling on.
Rio was about the crowd. This has clearer sound because the crowd isn't nearly overwhelming the song by singing the music.
As others have stated, a jam session is improvised. This is almost note for note the studio version. It's just an instrumental. The Allman Brothers, The Grateful Dead, Phish, Snarky Puppy, those are bands who all actually jam.
Try "Lingus" by Snarky Puppy for an incredible instrumental with improvised solos. The We Like It Here version. This is both live and the actual studio recording. This includes a truly legendary synth solo by Corey Henry.
This version is also a slightly slower tempo. Prefer Rio for sure.
This performance is definitely stellar and very clear how it was recorded . Can never go wrong. The Rio performance is definitely about the crowd. That visual of the Rio crowd jumping is really kind of insane. It sticks in the mind.
They are so much older here than when I saw them a couple times when I was young, but yep they can totally bring it for sure. It's just three guys but they do multitask like crazy and it is something to behold.
Geddy is one of my favorite bass players.
The reason everyone requests the version in Rio is because Rush had never toured South America in like 30 years. They didn’t even know they were popular down there. The band was surprised when everyone knew every lyric to every song in English, but when they did YYZ, the crowd actually sings the melody along throughout the entire song. You just hear over 60,000 pumped up people in a soccer arena singing along with the guitar. It’s really amazing to hear a crowd that pumped. Anyway, that’s why the version of YYZ in Rio is so legendary.
You gotta do Rio. It's just insane! You have probably never seen anything like it.
Phil
Did you and Sam noticed Alex Lifeson, guitarist acting goofy? My friends and I see Rush live in concert back in 2010 during their Time Machine tour. During each song, Alex joking around as he plays his guitar. Yes, YYZ is an instrumental song.
Not that this is any less of a performance but the crowd in Rio were F*CKING mental singing so loudly ------ to an instrumental!!! Out of this world!
Yes it's true, the Rio version is absolutely epic and it's a shame you didn't choose it, but how would you know?
We all told them, that's how they would've known...
@@awmerriam4 who cares. watching reaction videos is a sickness and i need a cure. someone punch me in the face to get me out of this rush reaction death loop.
BOSS LEVEL drumstick throws by the Professor himself!
Live in Rio is a MUST WATCH
Yes! Check out Rush live from Rio! The people go NUTS!
The Rio was likely suggested because the crowd is alive in that one ... not nearly asleep like here. This is an instrumental song and Geddy's bass in this, is always likely going to be on a "Top 5 Rock Bass Lines list" ... or should be.
The freeze frame at 3:10 describes Alex's personality perfectly.
Yes the Rio crowd is awesome, but I always loved the version of YYZ from Exit Stage Left. It features an amazing 3:15 long drum solo from Neil at 2:20 in. After which the crowd goes nuts. A must listen for fans of Neil and the boys.
Rush in RIo is the GOAT. You owe it to yourselves to watch that.
YYZ was originally a Neil and Getty jam session, till Alex wanted to be a part of it. A concert favorite!
Would have been nice to watch you react to the live at Rio version where 40,000 attended.
Rio is the gold standard because it’s heavier and they aren’t old like in this version.
The best band in the world. and the best in there perspective instruments. no one compares to them.
They were on another level in Rio.This one is awseome also!!
Check out Roundabout by Yes for an awesome bass riff.
I was going to mention Chris Squire in regards to crazy bass talent.
RUSH.......This is the way.
Three amazing musicians brought together by divine intervention. Incredible talent.
Saw these guys live 6 times and every time it was AMAZING!! It's fun watching you 2 discover how great the bands are that I (and a lot of others) grew up with! One show I saw had Les Claypool with Primus opening for them. Talk about 2 GREAT Bassists!!!
I'm not a fan of Primus' songs but no doubt Les Claypool is pretty much the best bass guitarist one can find. It is absolutely insane the sounds that came from his bass.
Neil always throws the stick at that moment.
One of the best (as if they aren't all the best) pieces from RUSH. Every instrument if clear and distinct, every member stands out. Immortal. If you want to get awed by the inspiration RUSH can be, look up some young kids who have played their music. Amazing to see young drummers, guitarists, and bassists, and I do mean young.
Trivia- Geddy is actually what it sounded like when his mother said Gary (birth name Gary Lee Wienrib) because of her eastern European accent. His friends would tease him calling him Geddy. He decided to use Geddy Lee as his stage name. He legally changed his name Geddy Lee back in the early 2000s
Fantastic decade for the Dead, I miss them sooo much!!!❤👌👍✌️😁
Rush is one of my all time favorite bands but one big criticism I have about them live is that they're so damn tight that you might as well be listening to the album. Their music is so intricate that it doesn't really allow for improvisation but I'd really love to see them just jam without any plan to see what happens. Unfortunately now that Neil passed away that won't happen. The next closest bassist to Geddy Lee that really goes nuts is Billy Sheehan. You should check him out.
Nunca había visto tu canal, me suscribo 😊 . Gracias por la excelente banda, Rush es simplemente extraordinario!!
Fuí de las personas que lloramos la partida del gran Neil Peart 😢
Gracias por traerlos!! ❤
Always love to see people's reactions to RUSH. RIP N.P.
YYZ is the airport code for Toronto -a tribute to their home, and flying in and out, tags on bags.
I was glad to see Rush ‘live’, they were this awesome, talented, and fun.
WOOOOOHOOOO!!! One of my FAV songs from one of my FAV BANDS!! RIO for this one was ICONIC - I've never seen a crowd SING the ENTIRE SONG, when it's an INSTRUMENTAL!! GREAT REACTION YOU-GUYS!!
Way to go guys and thank you!!! 1981 Xanadu next?
Little history. YYZ is the call letters for the Toronto airport. And what Niel is playing on the bells is Morse code YYZ. Alex Lifeson is a pilot and that’s where they got the idea for the song. And they are right listen to the Rio version. You can hear the crowd actually sing an instrumental song. Keep going down the rabbit hole you’re gonna love it. You have 40 years of music to play with.
Alex Lifeson is the most underrated guitarist of all time. He’s incredible
The opening is Neil tapping out YYZ in Morse code. It’s the airport code for Toronto Airport
Alex Lifeson-guitar, Geddy Lee-Bass,Keyboards, vocals, Neil Peart(RIP 2020)-percussion
YYZ is the designation of their home airport in Toronto. The opening bars are Y-Y-Z in Morse Code.
YYZ is the callsign of Toronto airport, the hometown of Rush.
Three people making all that cool sound ❤
Geddy's bass is super distinctive in this version.
A fun reaction! YYZ is a top notch instrumental with a catchy groove. Geddy Lee’s bass lines are always unique and made to fit while adding color.
Another bass player who plays like a soloist is Billy Sheehan. He is like the Eddie Van Halen of bass players.
You should react to him in Mr. big’s song “Addicted to that Rush”, live in Tokyo (1991).
Heres dimething insane, Geddy plays bass, sings and a Taurus Moog foot synth pedals ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
THREE DUDES !!showin off
So fun joining on your Rush discovery ear joy!
YYZ is the international airport-code for Toronto Pearson Airport, the riff at the beginning
is YYZ in morse code
Neil has mastered the art of tossing his stick ( way up ) high and literally catching it literally on the next down beat!! I’ve seen them/him many times and it never fails to amaze me!
You know you have a badass song when the last four notes are just as amazing as the first. 🔥🔥
I saw them twice. Subdivisions and Grace under Pressure in Detroit. I always loved Y Y Zed. (The IATA Code for Pearson International Airport) the cymbals at the very beginning are the Morse Code for YYZ
YYZ from the Clockwork Angel's tour video has a string section which is also really good.
A huge fan of Geddy Lee is a guy named Les Claypool.
C2B3 Fillmore Denver 2004. ✌️😉 Thanks guys.
It should say "Slappin' da bass" in the video thumbnail!
😄 😉
And yay, more Rush content! 😃 Good on you guys!
😊👍
This is just pure fun!
I feel like geddy never gets enough credit for his bass playing. 3 world class musicians
The version from the live record, "Exit Stage Left" will melt your face!!
What you may not pick up on because of camera angles is that Geddy has feet pedals under the Key board that he can use as a bass while playing the key board. The pedals can also play some of synthesizer (key board) when he's fingering the bass on a more intricate bass line. Some songs you will see him doing both while signing. One of the many reasons that they don't should like just a three piece band live.
Rush - Working Man Live in Cleveland. Rock On!!
should have done the Rio version (although this was still great) for the brilliant crowd reaction -also 'La Villa Strangiato' live Boston or 'Working Man' live from Boston
The Exit Stage Version of this is so much better and captures Rush at it's best :)
Geddy plays; bass, doublenecks _Rickenbacker 4080 models (2) taurus pedals, synths and vocals. He was playing his 1972 fender jazz on YYZ.
Hi ! So you re from Canada you know what YYZ is ! ok ! Have a nice day ! 😎
Nice reaction to one of my favorite Rush songs. Some people have suggested Xanadu from "Exit stage left" for your next Rush reaction. I totally agree. You'll see Getty playing a double neck bass and 12 string guitar, keyboards, foot pedals along with vocals. It's simply amazing watching him multitask.
YYZ is the airport to my hometown of Toronto, Canada the Morse Code at the start of the song is the sound you hear if tune the YYZ VOR/DME on your aircraft radio. Here is what it looks like Morse ID: -.-- -.-- --.. Frequency: 112.15. this whole song is in Morse Code. If you ever get the chance to hear the VOR you will hear where they got the song from. I know from flying as a private pilot in and around Toronto I have tuned this frequency many times.
Another amazing live performance instrumental from Rush is La Villa Strangiato from Exit Stage left concert.
They flew in and out of Toronto airport, the call letters are YYZ for the airport.
YYZ is the international airport code for Toronto, Canada, Rush's hometown. The cymbals at the beginning of the song are the Morse code for YYZ. One of the best instrumentals by the trio.
Do Live in Rio next time for the real deal.
MASTERS!!!
YYZED THE CALL SIGN FOR THE TORONTO AIRPORT AND TAGS ON YOUR LUGGAGE 🧳 THAT GEDDY SAID LET US KNOW WE WERE GOING HOME WHEN WE SAW YYZ ON OUR LUGGAGE
Epic bass
Interesting tid bit about "Xanadu" (originally on A Farewell to Kings), definitely check out the live versions suggested in this thread but the studio version (all 11:05 of it) was recorded in one take!
This is a very enjoyable version as well.
YYZ is basically 3 solos intertwined. These are 3 virtuosos in the same band. No lyrics but plenty of music. I've been a fan of these guys since hearing 2112 in the 70s. It was really sad losing Neil. I get choked up whenever I hear The Garden. The crowd in Rio was really intense.
Hey Phil and Sam, I hope you're having a great weekend! As per usual, you guys kill it every time with the choices and commentary you make. Check out La Villa Strangiato, another epic instrumental by Rush, the great Canadian artists. Hmm, who else is Canadian? Oh, that's right, Frank Marino and Mahagony Rush Live At Agora Theater, "It's Begun to Rain". Lol, much love from SE Texas! ✌️☮️ 🎶 🎵 🎸 🔥
Live from Rio is really worth a look….that said- I saw this tour live and it was unbelievable. Moving Pictures /1984- that was a year of great stuff. Check out billboard 1984…any month…you’ll see something special for sure.❤️🎶❤️
Most classical is not "just jamming" nor has vocals. As a guitarist who learned how to play this song (and all other Rush songs that existed at the time) I can assure you this is not just a jam. A jam is when musicians play something off the cuff and spontaneous. This is always played note for note (except on the rare occasion they write another part and then that too is played note for note. Not saying anyone _should_ know this (diversity is life), but we call these _instrumentals._
I enjoyed this reaction a lot though. That was really fun to watch.😊 I just wanted to clear up the difference between jamming and song-writing. Not all songs have lyrics, as much as some singers might like them too, as opposed to how some guitarists and other instrumentalists might like more instrumentals. 🤣😂🤣
I tease everyone here. It's always worked best to let everyone shine.❤🌍🌎🌏🌐
_"Yea we all shine on. Like the moon, and the stars, and the sun."_ --John Lennon
I'm always "Amazed" when someone says "They never heard Rush of wasn't aware of them" !!!!! 😳😯 They have been around playing great Rock music since 1974' with their first album and have a Huge following for decades !! Always a Great Live band that toured all the time, I've seen them 8 times myself the first time in 1976' but many fans have seen them dozens of times !! They were Big during the MTV era and have many great "Radio" play hits along with their long play "Prog" songs. So I ask you both ( How could you have never heard of them !!) How is that possible, you must know people that like them ? You never heard them on the radio or TV ? Please give us the insight on how you Kats grew up !! ? 🧐 😊 I guy you guys just landed on Earth !! Lol 😉 🛸
hey guys.... Happy Thanksgiving Wished you done the Rio one.... ok watching now and NOTHING like the Rio performance. Read about the reason they created this one.
YYZ is the 3 letter identifier for Toronto International Airport
Hi, Phil and Sam: It's actually Y Y Zed. Good reaction.
In the states it is called YYZ and all other English countries call it YYZed due to the fact that Z is pronounced "Zee" in the US and "Zed" everywere else.
you should try this track " live in rio" to watch the crowd singing the melody with the band.
For more gifted bassists, also check out John Entwistle (The Who) and James Jamerson. Geddy cited Jamerson specifically as one of his influences.
