Being 26 years old, I unfortunately missed a lot of opportunity to see RUSH as I discovered them towards the end of their career. But the 1 show I did see, which was during their R40 tour in the Nationwide Arena in Columbus Ohio, was the best live show I have ever seen. Literally EVERYONE was there. Like you had Grandma and Grandpa there, you had mom and dad there, and you had the sons and the daughters there. You literally had the entire family completely engaged to the show and responding to whar Geddy was singing. It was truly an unforgettable live show. They were unlike any other band out there man. Absolutely incredible

Working Man was Rush's first big break, Donna Halper, a Cleveland DJ started playing it and it picked up enough popularity to get the band noticed and signed to a record label.

If you'd like an explanation for "Sausage Time", do a KZfaq search for "rush time machine intro". It will be titled "Great Rush Full Intro Spirit of Radio Time Machine Tour HD Marvelous". The thumb nail for the video should show a drum head that has RASH instead of RUSH printed on it, and in smaller print over that, "The 'Real' History of Rush". It's the video that was played on the stage screen for several minutes before the boys actually hit the stage, playing "Spirit of Radio". After the first intermission, they play another video before they return to the stage and play "Tom Sawyer" plus the rest of the Moving Pictures album. These videos show that they could have had a career as comedic geniuses, if they had quit music early on.

Someone else may have already mentioned this in the comments, but Rush liked to dip their toes into different musical genres. Like The Police, they seemed to especially enjoy reggae vibes. I recommend "The Spirit Of Radio" for a reaction. As with EVERY song by Rush, it would probably be best to start with a lyric video of the studio version, just to appreciate the poetry of The Professor. Then the version with animation is REALLY excellent. And then wrap it up with the live version from Toronto where they do a "Paint It Black" intro, and Alex rips open a new hole into The Upside Down when he absolutely SHREDS the guitar solo!

During my high school days of 1976-1980, I was in 3 different rock bands, in 3 different states over those years, and EVERY high school rock band included "Working Man" as part of their set! This is the song that "put them on the map" in the US, but they were really discovered in Cleveland. This song was on their first album, and the drummer back then was John Rutsey (RIP.) John only appeared on their debut album. Needless to say, there was no reggae anywhere on that original album. In case you weren't aware, while the members of Rush were amazing musicians, the band were best friends, practically family, and they all had incredible senses of humor, so having fun (like doing working man like this,) was pretty typical. They were so funny, though Alex went off-the-scale to "goofy!" Check out Alex's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction speech! It's on youtube, and it's hilarious!

The little thing at the end was a special tribute to a song that did not appear on one of their albums. This was the closing song of the concert, and it was a "concept" concert ... they began with their newest music and went backwards to their first album. As they did so, they changed the stage behind them to reflect what it looked like at the time of the song. The last sixteen bars was the earliest song they've ever played on stage, as it did not appear on an album.

Washing machines, time machines, rotisserie chickens instead of a regular bass amp rig. And then there is the back screen. They use it so effectively. I would suggest a live version of Tom Sawyer with the South Park introduction. When you see it you will know. Also some of the other videos they play after the intermission to introduce the next song. Absolutely hilarious. As is their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction speech.

You guys are awesome reactors and great to see how you react to their musical talent. I once got up to the front row of a concert for them, right in front of Alex Lifeson ( the guitarist ) and it was a highlight in my long life. Also Neil always did a drum solo in each concert I saw, which is something everyone should experience at least once ( on TV now since Neil is gone R.I.P. ) Finally just wanted to compliment the lady reactor ( I think the name was Kayla ) as she was so full of energy in the reaction, which made it so fun....and she's super beautiful too!!❤ Thanks and keep smiling👍🇨🇦

This was Rush's "new" live take on an old favorite from Rush's debut album that was done just for this concert tour to give the long time fans a fresh approach. But you MUST also listen to the original studio version of this song which is every bit, as incredible, both in different ways. The original studio version is very Led Zeppelin like and Alex goes insane on his guitar in it as well, again, in a totally different way. One thing about the original studio version though is that it was recorded while Rush still had their original drummer John Rutsey. He's incredible on this song too, so you won't be disappointed, but he's no Neil Peart. So you will also have to listen to a live version of Working Man when Neil Peart is drumming, but sticks closer to the original studio version, but probably has extended solos from Alex and Neil, if not all three. Also, an bit of trivia on a side note; you may remember that Geddy points and calls the audience "Best audience ever." A thing about Geddy and Rush in general is that they NEVER before ever said that to another audience at another show. And Geddy commented in an interview once that he never did that at a show because he saw other artist do it all the time with multiple audiences and it was very disingenuous to him. So when he said it this one time he really meant it (though by default as explained below), and hard-core Rush fans know this well. He did it at this specific venue though as a bit tongue-and-cheek too, which the audience knew, because they knew he never said that to any audience before, and because it was really in honor of the fact that it was the city of Cleveland and it's Radio station that introduced them to the United States and lead to their big break getting a record deal with Mercury Records and being picked by Gene Simmons of KISS, also on the Mercury label, to be their opening act on Kiss's big tour! So Cleveland has a special place in Rush's heart and Rush's fans hearts too.

they've literally played this song for over 40+ years, so to change it up, they often start off Reggae...and poor Geddy has to hit those high notes of yesteryear...

Definitely check out the studio version of Working Man. The reggae opening was unique to this live performance, so the studio version is, of course, the "original". It is the song that launched them on the radio, and Cleveland was the city where it first happened, hence why this performance was so special.

Neil is the most fit of the three used to bike ride between concert stops. Layer he changed to a motorcycle because he almost didn't make it to one of the stops on time.

Next Rush video? For an instrumental, I suggest "Where's My Thing" live in Dallas. Incredible bass-playing by Geddy Lee, and a fantastic drum solo by Neil Peart. And a great song, of course. For a video with lyrics, "Natural Science" is great. Not sure which version is best, I like the lyric video of the studio version.

Reggae became very popular in the 1970s. A lot of artists got into it. Eric Clapton had a huge hit with his rendition of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff".

Working man debut was 1974 with a different drummer forget his name he had some health issues and left enter Neil and the rest is history. I started listening to Rush in 1980 over 40 yrs later and still have the original albums it's nice too see younger people getting into iconic bands God bless

I've seen every tour multiple times since 1981. Started with Moving Pictures. Remember they did this song after playing for 3 hours. They'll always be my favorite 4 EVER.

John Rutsy was the original drummer for Rush , and can be heard on a very early Rush album, and the recording of The Working Man

They changed up the tempo on this version. They were all masters of their craft. Some of the best to ever do rock n roll. In the 80s, Their concerts were an amazing ride on LSD.

There was a time, rumored that before a concert they'd drop off Neil a hundred miles out on his bicycle from whatever venue (that seems like a big number but maybe someone can clarify) and he'd ride the rest of the way in. Later years he'd ride his motorcycle, and Alex would play 18 holes of golf. Geddy would chill reading. Some of that's in documentaries.
