Imagine that crowd, singing to an instrumental. It was Rush’s first trip to Brazil and they had no idea of how popular they were there, until they went out on stage!
It feels like the bass is the lead because it started out as the bassist and drummer "messing around," back and forth, until it became a song and they added guitar.
@@MrDryqula Well, if you really want to get specific. Pearson International is Mississauga's airport. Everyone just calls it Toronto's. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport is Toronto's. 😊
FUN FACT: Geddy's laundry dryers actually tumble during the show, and a roadie (sometimes dressed in any number of costumes) will come out, PUT MONEY into the coin slots, and add/remove clothing like he's really doing the wash. Then, before the encore at the end of the show, the band remove RUSH T-shirts from the dryers and throw them into the crowd. Typically, the shirts say something like "I got this shirt from dryer #3 at the Rush show". Highly collectable items, since they were only made for that purpose!
South American crowds especially Brazillian had wanted Rush to go down there for years…this was the first time and all the gigs on this leg of the world tour were greeted by fans going crazy on seeing their heros for the first time 🎉👏🏻
Great reaction, y’all! This was recorded in 2002 in Rio! They were just returning from a 5 year hiatus after some tragedy in Neil’s life. There were nearly 60,000 people at this concert and did you hear the audience singing along to this monster instrumental? You got it right about the dryers.. and chicken rotisseries. They’ve also had vending machines, and popcorn poppers!! Best band ever!! Since you like the drum setup so much, I recommend “Neil Peart solo - Live in Frankfort”. He plays every drum and percussion in the kit!! Be well and God Bless… from Texas!!
Ms. Julie you rock. Born in Austin raised in Houston. Couldn't of made it without these guy's. Light-years ahead of all. Love how the rest of the world 🌎 is finally catching UP! R.I.P. Neil!!! They're gonna be missed for another 80=100 years easy!!!
@@kurtboehm4095 agreed!! No band like them. If you haven’t seen it yet, Geddy and Alex jammed together for the 25th anniversary of South Park last week! It was great to see them on stage together again. Check it out on UA-cam! I’m just North of Dallas! I’m so tired of the heat, my friend! Ready for summer to be over…LOL! Be well and stay cool!! God bless!
Rush was a great Canadian rock band formed in 1968. The band's style changed over the years, from a blues-inspired hard rock beginning, later moving into progressive rock, then a period marked by heavy use of synthesizers, before returning to guitar-driven hard rock since the end of the 1980s. They had a lot of great songs such as "The Spirit Of Radio", "Not Fade Away", "In The Mood", "Working Man", "Bad Boy", "Fly By Night", "Limelight", "Red Barchetta", "Tom Sawyer", "The Trees", "Subdivisions", "Closer To The Heart", "Xanadu", "Anthem" etc.
On all the tours that came after Moving Pictures was released, whenever they saw YYZ on their luggage tags, they'd know that they were heading home to their families. The composition here was meant to represent the hustle and bustle of moving through a busy airport, and the drop in tempo when Geddy is playing the keyboards was meant to represent a brief pause to reunite with family and friends before going right back to the hustle and bustle. Great reaction; looking forward to more! 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🔥 🔥 🔥
Geddy didn't downsize; they started using the stadium/arena speakers for the bass sounds. Correctly, Geddy did feel naked on his side, not having amps, so they looked for other things to fill his side. Thinking of Meatloaf, do “Paradise by the Dashboard Light.” Watch the live video. As for Canadian trios, look into Triumph.
If you want a great live reaction, check out "Xanadu" from their "Exit Stage Left" performance. An epic song with a 6-minute intro with several movements and shows just how multi-talented they are.
Welcome to the greatest three piece Rock/Prog band to ever have graced the planet. Three virtuosic musicians. Seen them live three times at Wembley. Sadly Neil Peart the drummer died back in jan 2020. The saying goes. Think of you favourite drummer. Their favourite drummer is Neil. Says all you need. Top three rock drummers of all time. Never plays the same fill twice. Geddy’s voice is a bit marmite. But as a fan I obviously like it. Enjoy!
Next live Rush song should be Working Man (Live in Cleveland 2011 Time Machine Tour), followed by Xanadu (Live 1981 Exit Stage Left tour). I would also highly recommend the original studio version of Working Man, as it was this song from their debut album that got them played on the radio for the first time, in the city of Cleveland, which is one thing that makes that 2011 show so special. Neil is surrounded by 2 integrated drum kits screwed directly into a rotating riser. One side is mostly acoustic, the other mostly electronic, and there are numerous additional triggers and pedals strategically placed throughout the rig, including a Mallet Kat MIDI marimba which is programmable. He even has blowers to help keep his hands dry! You should definitely check out some of his drum solos, notably Live in Frankfurt, YYZ live from the Exit Stage Left tour (solo is in the middle of YYZ), O Baterista, and others. Neil utilizes every single piece of that kit.
In the middle of a song on this tour three guys dressed to resemble Rush in the late 70's would come onstage, empty the dryers, and walk off with the laundry. On the Snakes and Arrows tour someone would come onstage during a song to baste the chicken. When I saw them she was dressed as a Bavarian barmaid.
If you want to see an insane live performance by Rush, check out "Working Man" live in Cleveland! At a few points in that live performance, Alex plays part of the guitar that I've never seen anyone play previously.......and it is AWESOME!!!
Neil didnt even think that was one of his better performances, he was battling the flue at the time and while that is cited by most recommenders I personally like some of his other solos better like the one after Wheres my thing in Dallas.
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
Hi guys, great reaction! Actually we do pronounce it YYZED here in Canada for most part. Nice that you had the back story. It was Alex Lifeson the guitarist who was flying them in to Toronto as he is a licensed pilot. The code stuck with Geddy and Neil and they started writing the song. Alex came in later and added his part. There were 40,000.00 people in the crowd and Alex Lifeson will also use foot pedals as well as Geddy. Rush put out a number of instrumentals. Where's my thing/ Here it is live in Dallas is a good one which also includes a drum solo. Also La villa Strangiato the official music video is another instrumental based on a series of nightmares that Alex Lifeson had . Cheers 🇨🇦
Yup. ZED is a power letter. Zee just sounds like an annoying mosquito. Have read about the back story a few times. Superb performance and reaction from the audience.
@@brentscott5359 Yes, Americans do pronounce the letter Z as Zee. I suppose as your British offspring, we were trying to stay consistent withe the previous letters in the alphabet....A-eee, B-eee, C-eee, D-eee, E-eee, G-eee, etc. So, what happened at the end. Was the Ed sound supposed to symbolize that we've come to the end? Was there a guy name Ed who was involved somehow? Any history on that? Just curious, cuz your pronunciation does take a left turn there at the end and isn't consistent with the rest of the alphabet. Also when you use the letter Z in words, is the ED sound there? For instance do you pronounce it ze(d)bra or zebra, (long e sound)? Sincere question.
Yes, what an amazing band. Imagine getting a crowd so excited that they sing an instrumental........wow. And now, do you want to do your second instrumental on your channel??? "La Villa Strangiato". Alex's interpretation of his childhood nightmares/dreams. I recommend the "Official Music Video" version, although the album version is a bit clearer.
The reaction from the crowd is because there is a huge fan base for Rush in that country and because it is the first time the band toured there. You should see that crowds reaction to the song 2112.
That's what you call a concert! I mean, I'm not into this, but even I was tempted to pump my fists in the air! Very talented musicians. That drum kit was pretty impressive too 😁
The band is from Toronto and why YYZ is also significant. Also the three dryers on stage are drying the colours of our Canadian flag; red - white - red
Hi , great band, the crowd look like they are super loving this concert. The music is amazing, the drummer especially, this is one of those bands that sound brilliant live. A brilliant upload and reaction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Guys please don't be insulting, looking like bono etc, GMAB. These are the 3 most Talented Musicians in their own field, as a unit they're the worlds smallest orchestra, if you love the drums check out the live in Frankfurt solo, BTW, theyre music has featured in the Goldbergs, South Park and a movie called I Love You Man, to name just a few❤️🇬🇧🇨🇦👍
I'll never forget, I think it was during the Vapor Trails or R30 tour, the lighting rig above the stage blasting "YYZ" in huge white halogen lamps when Neil started tapping out the Morse code. I miss those boys so much.
If you are going to do comparisons... Geddy & Burke Shelley from Budgie (another criminally underrated Welsh band), Both play Bass, sing in the same vocal range and even look like each other.
I saw my fair share of Rush concerts from 1996 to 2015, and by far, the best show that I saw from them was on this tour (Vapor Trails). I didn’t have the fortune of attending this particular show in Rio, though!
Geddy Lee said, talking about how this song came about, that it was himself and Neil (the drummer) wanted to do an instrumental song that would be a "bass and drums extravaganza.". Then, Alex came in and added his guitar thing to it.. and they had a gem.
Watch Yes perform Roundabout at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Pay attention to the bass player. Geddy Lee is the only man alive that could replace Chris Squire. Great reaction. The song was originally written only for bass and drums. The guitar was added after. Ronnie Barker eat your heart out.
The reason the bass was more heavily emphasized is due to Geddy and Neil having written the song when Alex wasn't around. He added the guitar parts later. It's also why the bass and drums have those mini-solos in there, but the guitar doesn't. Wanted to just add that I didn't think a couple of Brits would need to be told this, but the song is pronounced Why Why Zed, not zee. 😉
the washing machines had to do with the stacks of amps the guitar players use on stage, Geddy as a joke said to fill up his side of the stage with washing machines
*RUSH RULES* RIP Neil Peart 1952-2020 💥THE GIRL WHO LISTENED TO RUSH💥 From the back of the stadium She’s easy to see Standing up at the stage In her Starman tee From Anthem to Limelight To YYZ She’s the girl who listened to Rush And all of the rockers And all of the heshers Well they dreamed of the day That they might get her And drive her away In a Red Barchetta She’s the girl who listened to Rush Philosophers and ploughmen They can’t resist her call They cannot choose Not to decide So they've got no choice at all They've gotta love her No she doesn’t say "Pert" And she doesn’t say "Part" Yeah, she knows it’s "Neil Peert" ‘Cause he’s close to her heart Say a prayer for John Rutsey He was there at the start She’s the girl who listened to Rush Philosophers and ploughmen They can’t resist her call They cannot choose Not to decide So they've got no choice at all They've gotta love her Why don’t girls ever listen to Rush? But she listened to Rush!

Its been discovered, using modern medical science, that people can experience a state where the entire group have their heartbeats synchronized during a musical event. Not sure if it takes place in this type of musical setting, but I like to think so. Music is powerful to us humans. Especially Rush.
what is really amazing as you can tell .. most of the crowd looks like 20+ all jumping and screaming for a band 50 ish . years old .. and then you listen and you know why
Totally agree. I listened to him a lot when pop music was in one of its overproduced phases. He was a bit of a throwback even then, as a blues musician. I loved it.
If I remember correctly, YYZ is their ONLY instrumental. I only got to see them twice. The sound system in San Diego sounded like it rotating. The sound system at the Gorge at George was phenomenal.
@@toddbrady183 they have done 8. La Villa Strangiato, YYZ, Leave That Thing Alone, Malignant Narcissism, The Main Monkey Business, Where's My Thing, Limbo, and Hope.
@@vinceaaron8921 great knowledge👍 My brain ain't as young as it used to be, Thanks for Reply, keep rocking out to the greatest band that has ever been:- RUSH👍❤️🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇸
*9.3+* Rush are fiercely talented. 😂 I very much like the crowd singing along to a song with no lyrics. 😄 Some of the 'washey' sound breaks strongly remind me of 1970s Prog Rock which used a lot of Mellotron ①. Geddy Lee credits several bassists including Chris Squire of _Yes_ for his sound, and playing 'Lead Bass'. Let me cause some controversy!! 😉 Peart was a brilliant drummer. He played like a 10yo Girl! 😱😄 _"YYZ" - Rush / Covered by Yoyoka 10yo_ ua-cam.com/video/lGETWi1QufE/v-deo.html She even dances in the breaks. 😃 To be fair, Peart composed the drums, and Yoyoka is following his lead. She doesn't have his drum kit, but does well. _Yes - Chris Squire 'Lead Bass':_ I couldn't find any contemporaneous live performances with good audio quality by _Yes_ in the '70s. Some album tracks which have 'Lead Bass' (it's often sounds an octave higher than is 'traditional'): _Yes - "Starship Trooper"_ ua-cam.com/video/DKftiJS30Cs/v-deo.html 9m27s _Yes - "Roundabout" (Original 1971)_ ua-cam.com/video/QOrrNM4md8c/v-deo.html 8m36s - the bass is funky _"Yours Is No Disgrace"_ ua-cam.com/video/1fUudna1Xuw/v-deo.html 9m40s Bill Bruford's drumming is sublime too. These are *long Prog Rock* songs, without a good contemporary live video. So not very reaction (or BP1?) friendly. Worth a listen. Maybe skipping a minute or two to hear the bass if Prog Rock is not 'your cup of tea'. It's clear what inspired some of Geddy Lee's playing. Geddy Lee even replaced Chris Squire (who'd died) when Yes were inducted into "The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame" Best Wishes. ☮ ① Wikipedia: _"The _*_Mellotron_*_ is an electro-mechanical musical instrument developed in Birmingham, England, in 1963. It is played by pressing its keys, each of which pushes a length of magnetic tape against a capstan, which pulls it across a playback head. As the key is released, the tape is retracted by a spring to its initial position. Different portions of the tape can be played to access different sounds."_ IIRC the tape lasted less than 10 seconds (7 seconds?), so the 'washy' effect was partly caused by that.
Great reaction, guys, and I say that as an American who's live in Canada the past 25 years, not far from Toronto, and as a lifelong fan of Rush for their incredible musicianship, for their deep friendship that kept the band together, in studio and touring, for 40 years, and for the way they took musical craft seriously but never themselves, an unusual trait in North America. I could suggest a couple of dozen Rush classics, but since so many have already, will make a different request that I think would blow you away with music and humour, from the smash-hit musical Hamilton, one of only two songs done by one of the all-time greats of Broadway doing a Brit, "You'll be Back." While there are many videos of the song live from people in the audience, the sound quality is awful, so I suggest this studio recorded version that featured the original cast instead: ua-cam.com/video/eKFN-aqPJH8/v-deo.html
It really is funny watching the guy with the blue shirt try and understand this. He really wants to commit. However, there's a roadblock there. Keep trying (guy with the blue shirt)...It will be worth it:)...
I'm just sad gigs like this don't really exist on this scale anymore, yea if you go to local bars that have open stages you can find some good ones but the feeling of these concerts with live music must have been genuinely magical
Check out Workingman Live in Cleveland see how these three guys in their fifties end a three hour concert With three transitions 🔥 fire , just as the title suggest it’s dedicated to the Blue collar worker
New release！！「Save Yourself」by ONE OK ROCK .Please wacth! The English music video for this song is on the "Fueled By Ramen" official channel, not the official channel of ONE OK ROCK.
We do not pronounce the letter Z like our neighbours to the south do friends... As you know Rush was a very Canadian Band..therefore we pronounce it YYZed... properly of course.
Belo comentario desses caros ingleses. Acontece que o povo da América LAtina é totalmente maluco, de um jeito, no que diz respeito a frieza no tato. É um povo muito sentimental, e isso na maior parte é ruim, pensamento de QI baixo. Mas nos shows acontece essa extrema felicidade por ver a banda épica na sua frente, entao voce quer cantar junto, estar em conexão com a banda em si, é intrínseco do povo Brasileiro inclusive. Apenas explicando na visao de um brasileiro o motivo disso acontecer. Abraços!

Imagine that crowd, singing to an instrumental. It was Rush’s first trip to Brazil and they had no idea of how popular they were there, until they went out on stage!
This happens at every rush show during that song. At least from my experience (I've seen them maybe five times).

My God where you been man, Rush has been a Top Band for 40+ years !! 😉
It feels like the bass is the lead because it started out as the bassist and drummer "messing around," back and forth, until it became a song and they added guitar.
Watching the crowd pulse as one singular organism, simply adds to the amazing experience of watching these three musical virtuosos.
You nailed it... A rock hungry people, finally at a feast.
Opening cymbals and riff is Morse Code for YYZed, the air traffic designation of the Toronto Airport (home).
Specifically, Toronto Pearson International Airport.
They say that in the video at 7.35-8.10.
who cares?
Wow! I never questioned it ever but I am excited to hear that little bit of trivia

Great fact :) like that one CygnusKC, thanks for watching :) p.s you ever get a t-shirt?
@@BritPopsReact I didn't get one. My brother did get one, however.
Sometimes celebrities would do dryer duty if they came to see the show
The brst bass player comparison would be Chris Squire, who really was a huge inspiration to Geddy.
Dudes! I'd love to hear what you would give a 9 - the talent and genius of Rush as displayed here is easily worth 9 plus!
They have to leave room to go up if they're gonna get seriously into Rush's catalog. 😊
Washing and drying machines is to illustrate that RUSH plays a CLEAN sound ! So you know ! :)
His nickname is The Proffesor. Live they are second to none...

These are the 3 most Talented Musicians in their own field, as a unit they're the worlds smallest orchestra, if you love the drums check out the live in Frankfurt solo, BTW, theyre music has featured in the Goldbergs, South Park and a movie called I Love You Man, to name just a few❤️🇬🇧🇨🇦👍
They are many bands of this era are still going strong and have a fan base from teenagers through my mom's generation.
YYZ is pure joy in person. RIP Neal Pert
I'll never forget, I think it was during the Vapor Trails or R30 tour, the lighting rig above the stage blasting "YYZ" in huge white halogen lamps when Neil started tapping out the Morse code. I miss those boys so much.
If you are going to do comparisons... Geddy & Burke Shelley from Budgie (another criminally underrated Welsh band), Both play Bass, sing in the same vocal range and even look like each other.
I saw my fair share of Rush concerts from 1996 to 2015, and by far, the best show that I saw from them was on this tour (Vapor Trails). I didn’t have the fortune of attending this particular show in Rio, though!
Geddy Lee said, talking about how this song came about, that it was himself and Neil (the drummer) wanted to do an instrumental song that would be a "bass and drums extravaganza.". Then, Alex came in and added his guitar thing to it.. and they had a gem.
The drummer is Tom Hanks and Van Damne when he was young
YYZ is the Call sign for Toronto Canada. and you need room for Neal's drum kit
You need to react to Neil Peart's drum solo in Frankfurt !
I guess they didn't understand what was happening here, haha!!
Watch Yes perform Roundabout at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Pay attention to the bass player. Geddy Lee is the only man alive that could replace Chris Squire. Great reaction. The song was originally written only for bass and drums. The guitar was added after. Ronnie Barker eat your heart out.
The reason the bass was more heavily emphasized is due to Geddy and Neil having written the song when Alex wasn't around. He added the guitar parts later. It's also why the bass and drums have those mini-solos in there, but the guitar doesn't.
Wanted to just add that I didn't think a couple of Brits would need to be told this, but the song is pronounced Why Why Zed, not zee. 😉
Check out Neil's Frankfurt drum solo and la ville strangiato for another instrumental.
Happy show-offs here.
Highly talented.
the washing machines had to do with the stacks of amps the guitar players use on stage, Geddy as a joke said to fill up his side of the stage with washing machines
only RUSH can make Morse code sound cool and only Alex Lifeson can make tuning a guitar mesmerizing.
Try 2112.
Lifeson shreds on this song and the reaction?
"Cracking bass" poor Alex lol
*RUSH RULES*
RIP Neil Peart 1952-2020
💥THE GIRL WHO LISTENED TO RUSH💥
From the back of the stadium
She’s easy to see
Standing up at the stage
In her Starman tee
From Anthem to Limelight
To YYZ
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
And all of the rockers
And all of the heshers
Well they dreamed of the day
That they might get her
And drive her away
In a Red Barchetta
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
Philosophers and ploughmen
They can’t resist her call
They cannot choose
Not to decide
So they've got no choice at all
They've gotta love her
No she doesn’t say "Pert"
And she doesn’t say "Part"
Yeah, she knows it’s "Neil Peert"
‘Cause he’s close to her heart
Say a prayer for John Rutsey
He was there at the start
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
Philosophers and ploughmen
They can’t resist her call
They cannot choose
Not to decide
So they've got no choice at all
They've gotta love her
Why don’t girls ever listen to Rush?
But she listened to Rush!
The blacksmith and the artist
They can’t resist her call
You cannot choose
Not to decide
So you’ve got no choice at all
No you’ve got no choice at all
You’ve gotta love her
~Nerf Hearders

"The girl who listened to Rush"
There are dozens of you. DOZENS!
@@gfh110 Not so many back in the '70's. 😉
This was a popular guitar hero song , Also bits of the song has been used in commercials ,
It's called YYZed. one of there greatest instrumentals.
Its been discovered, using modern medical science, that people can experience a state where the entire group have their heartbeats synchronized during a musical event. Not sure if it takes place in this type of musical setting, but I like to think so. Music is powerful to us humans. Especially Rush.
Try Working Man Live in Cleveland.
This is the only song without lyrics that the crowd sings!
what is really amazing as you can tell .. most of the crowd looks like 20+ all jumping and screaming for a band 50 ish . years old .. and then you listen and you know why
Please check out Another incredible Canadian - Jeff Healy - See the light , blind at age one. unbelievable - get your seat belt on, you'll need it
Totally agree. I listened to him a lot when pop music was in one of its overproduced phases. He was a bit of a throwback even then, as a blues musician. I loved it.
In another dimension, Neil looks like Boz Scaggs if you're talking about musicians. Or Tom Hanks if you're talking about anyone.
If I remember correctly, YYZ is their ONLY instrumental. I only got to see them twice. The sound system in San Diego sounded like it rotating. The sound system at the Gorge at George was phenomenal.
Jeff, they done a few instrumentals although the titles elude me at the mo, but one of them is on Roll The Bones Album👍🇨🇦🇬🇧❤️
@@toddbrady183 they have done 8. La Villa Strangiato, YYZ, Leave That Thing Alone, Malignant Narcissism, The Main Monkey Business, Where's My Thing, Limbo, and Hope.
@@vinceaaron8921 great knowledge👍 My brain ain't as young as it used to be, Thanks for Reply, keep rocking out to the greatest band that has ever been:- RUSH👍❤️🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇸
@@vinceaaron8921 and Broon's Bane, released on Exit... Stage Left album.
*9.3+* Rush are fiercely talented. 😂 I very much like the crowd singing along to a song with no lyrics. 😄
Some of the 'washey' sound breaks strongly remind me of 1970s Prog Rock which used a lot of Mellotron ①.
Geddy Lee credits several bassists including Chris Squire of _Yes_ for his sound, and playing 'Lead Bass'.
Let me cause some controversy!! 😉 Peart was a brilliant drummer. He played like a 10yo Girl! 😱😄
_"YYZ" - Rush / Covered by Yoyoka 10yo_ ua-cam.com/video/lGETWi1QufE/v-deo.html She even dances in the breaks. 😃
To be fair, Peart composed the drums, and Yoyoka is following his lead. She doesn't have his drum kit, but does well.
_Yes - Chris Squire 'Lead Bass':_
I couldn't find any contemporaneous live performances with good audio quality by _Yes_ in the '70s.
Some album tracks which have 'Lead Bass' (it's often sounds an octave higher than is 'traditional'):
_Yes - "Starship Trooper"_ ua-cam.com/video/DKftiJS30Cs/v-deo.html 9m27s
_Yes - "Roundabout" (Original 1971)_ ua-cam.com/video/QOrrNM4md8c/v-deo.html 8m36s - the bass is funky
_"Yours Is No Disgrace"_ ua-cam.com/video/1fUudna1Xuw/v-deo.html 9m40s
Bill Bruford's drumming is sublime too.
These are *long Prog Rock* songs, without a good contemporary live video. So not very reaction (or BP1?) friendly.
Worth a listen. Maybe skipping a minute or two to hear the bass if Prog Rock is not 'your cup of tea'.
It's clear what inspired some of Geddy Lee's playing.
Geddy Lee even replaced Chris Squire (who'd died) when Yes were inducted into "The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame"
Best Wishes. ☮
① Wikipedia: _"The _*_Mellotron_*_ is an electro-mechanical musical instrument developed in Birmingham, England, in 1963. It is played by pressing its keys, each of which pushes a length of magnetic tape against a capstan, which pulls it across a playback head. As the key is released, the tape is retracted by a spring to its initial position. Different portions of the tape can be played to access different sounds."_
IIRC the tape lasted less than 10 seconds (7 seconds?), so the 'washy' effect was partly caused by that.
To enjoy Neil”s drum kit ,try his Drum Solo in Frankfurt.
Try “ the Best Intro Ever”. Welcome to the RUSH rabbit hole. Also the whole “Moving Pictures” album. Enjoy!!
There has been concerts in Rio with 3 million people who knows how many are here they line the beach for miles
Great reaction, guys, and I say that as an American who's live in Canada the past 25 years, not far from Toronto, and as a lifelong fan of Rush for their incredible musicianship, for their deep friendship that kept the band together, in studio and touring, for 40 years, and for the way they took musical craft seriously but never themselves, an unusual trait in North America.
I could suggest a couple of dozen Rush classics, but since so many have already, will make a different request that I think would blow you away with music and humour, from the smash-hit musical Hamilton, one of only two songs done by one of the all-time greats of Broadway doing a Brit, "You'll be Back."
While there are many videos of the song live from people in the audience, the sound quality is awful, so I suggest this studio recorded version that featured the original cast instead: ua-cam.com/video/eKFN-aqPJH8/v-deo.html
Great reaction...I mean Neil Peart symbol work is just SICK!
Best band ever.
the crowd of Brazil is the best. please react to Brazil is the best crowd in the world
Austin Powers says "WoW Wow Zee baby, groovy"
This song was on Guitar Hero
It really is funny watching the guy with the blue shirt try and understand this. He really wants to commit. However, there's a roadblock there. Keep trying (guy with the blue shirt)...It will be worth it:)...
neil's solo in frankfurt
Brilliant track.
I was told that the washing machines were there because they wanted a nice clean show - I think someone was telling me porkys?
How many times do you see an audience sing along with an instrumental? And it was the first time ever playing in Rui.
I went to a soccer game and a Rush concert broke out!
I'm just sad gigs like this don't really exist on this scale anymore, yea if you go to local bars that have open stages you can find some good ones but the feeling of these concerts with live music must have been genuinely magical
It's funny that people always correct the pronunciation of his name from pert to peert, when he says it as pert. Guess they know better than him
Great band, top musicians, very cool cheers!
God bless you for coming your young children in the face of something new keep working at it you'll figure it out goodbye and good luck
Check out Workingman Live in Cleveland see how these three guys in their fifties end a three hour concert With three transitions 🔥 fire , just as the title suggest it’s dedicated to the Blue collar worker
🤗 More Rush! 🥰 Cool Beans! 😁🐰
he had the biggest drum kit ever
Show matador!!! Passou pela Tour aqui em São Paulo Brasil, genial !!!
Alex would kill himself laughing if he knew he was compared to Meat.
New release！！「Save Yourself」by ONE OK ROCK .Please wacth!
The English music video for this song is on the "Fueled By Ramen" official channel, not the official channel of ONE OK ROCK.
From Hemispheres album.
YYZed man Zed! LOL!
We do not pronounce the letter Z like our neighbours to the south do friends... As you know Rush was a very Canadian Band..therefore we pronounce it YYZed... properly of course.
Meatloaf?! Bono?! For shame!!!!! lol
Belo comentario desses caros ingleses. Acontece que o povo da América LAtina é totalmente maluco, de um jeito, no que diz respeito a frieza no tato. É um povo muito sentimental, e isso na maior parte é ruim, pensamento de QI baixo. Mas nos shows acontece essa extrema felicidade por ver a banda épica na sua frente, entao voce quer cantar junto, estar em conexão com a banda em si, é intrínseco do povo Brasileiro inclusive.
Apenas explicando na visao de um brasileiro o motivo disso acontecer. Abraços!
i say 10 out of 10 !!!
