All these years on still makes the hairs stand on end

we never stop listening...@@johnboyle3297

That’s the only way to listen to it. I like listening in my car. The Best speakers.

I had to start laughing spitting up coffee because it's so true.. thx..

Get well soon! 🤣🇨🇦💪

Well said dude. I wonder the same thing ha ha

Thx Neil :)

Your correct The talent this band had was scary and this is the end result rush is one of my bands that's one of my tops as a few others for the same reason like zeppelin the talent we see out of every band member back then we will never see again with the most of the junk out there today most of them now don't even know how to play an instrument or even know what one is )

They are great but they use additional backing tracks with additional layers which were managed by Geddy's pedalboard. So it was not pure 3-men performance

@@algotua did not know that tyvm

That's a bit cool.

Hey man...it don't get any killer than that! Congrats from a 35 year Rush fan.

Lucky man

my fav Canadian rockers as a boy

It would be a truly pleasure to see this photographs someday, congrats!

Why Buddy Rich, could never beat Neil Peart. In a hundred years. Awesome drum kit. Just for one

Definitely up there with pink Floyd, Sabbath , young , zeplin

@@theodoreritola9758 sales dont equal talent necessarily. rush is a far more talented band then zep.

You got that right

THAT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE BTO BEING FUNNY

I’m 20 years old. I went to clockwork tour. Last tour ever. My first concerts I have never been more grateful

I'm right there with you, brother. Especially when I think that my children's first live rock concert was RUSH.

Agree!!! The Best!!!

I feel the exact same way Martijn. But, it makes me feel better to know others feel the same way. Thank you RUSH for the greatest, most memorable music!!!

omg give me a break, Geddy sounds like someones stomping on his balls. Also, this is absolutely not the best intro ever.

So much material and so little time, so this was a way to include lots of songs they didn't play in full. Great idea !!

Definitely not Ringo Starr's drum kit.

@@julianwells4055 Or Charlie Watts drum kit :)

yes I will fire up a joint of skywalker

Obi-Wan Neil Kenobi!

Fuckin Neil Peart!!! May the force be with you brother.

fully agree!

Was happy to see them in concert 4 times, I'm 54.

Now we have The Warning...

There were a lot of great bands in the 70's! I've seen so many in my youth. Zeppelin, Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Pink Floyd, Boston, the Eagles, Skynyrd... I could go on and on but there was one band that I saw live for the first time in 1977 that just blew me away and that was these guys. It was remarkable and I'll never forget it! They were just so different and LOUD! I couldn't hear right for a few days after that concert! These guys and so many other original "arena" bands were the soundtrack to my youth and what a great time it was. I miss those days and think about them all the time. I had friends back then and we'd go to whatever concerts we could afford to go to. I'd work 60 hrs a week just so I could afford tickets to a Stones concert or to take my girlfriend to go see KISS! The last concert I went to was to see the Zack Brown Band in Charlotte, NC and those guys played for two and a half hours in 98 degree blistering heat and humidity and they didn't miss a beat the whole time! The younger generation just doesn't understand and I feel bad for them because they'll never get to experience what we did growing up.

I wholeheartedly concur, sir! heard them on bus to college on CD 30 years ago ,locked in since then!

@@walterlegere1403 I tend to disagree. If you bring them up well educated they will appreciate. My gen Z daughter collects CD's and doesn't download from Spotify. She has CDs by Yes, Rush, Maiden, Genesis, Floyd, Zeppelin, Camel, Wishbone Ash, Van Der Graaf etc.... But she also like more current modern music of her generation (including rap) Ok!!! Overall she has a very inclusive musical taste and is very tolerant of others tastes too!

I think a high % of Americans wud be clueless on rocky Balboa. Yet I get ur point.

@POINTTWOFIVEMOA Please stop yelling.

And then​ you get to add Neil Peart!

Yah except Rocky, Washington and Patton NEVER would have helped and endorsed "TRUDEAU FOR PRIME MINISTER"! What the fuck was Rush thinking?!

I'm Canadian as well, but I think it's also like the Moon landing.

Thats canadians for ya, but joking aside they truly seem like great people. RIP Neil Peart

If we judge the greatest bands of all time based on the quality and integrity of the members and not their music Rush would be number 1 through 5

And please don't misunderstand as far as RUSH's music goes to me they are the greatest band of all time

You should read Neil's book about that time.

AWSOME!!!!!

1980 4th row center at the Ampitheater

Sheffield City Hall February 1978...long time ago...my youngest son still listens to my old Rush albums on my old Technics SL-1200🥲

Yes may have something to say about that. 3 piece ok, I'll give you that. Getty Lee is Talented but the Fish Chris Squire was the Bass King ! Hands Down! Steve vs Alex, well I don't even think that's close. Neil is the Drums Ace ! This is True !

Good one!!

Fk ya

Brandon Tyler: Love Your Comment! When my son, who is now 29 was in Jr. High & HS, I told him I would not allow Rap to be played in the house if I could hear it. He could listen to Rap, but had to have head phones on! He obliged. I turned him on to classic R&R and he is a total classic rock&roller. Over the years we have seen Boston, Styx, Kiss, Tom Petty, Steve Miller, Peter Frampton, ZZ Top, David Knopfler, AC-DC and others together. We try to make two to four shows a year. We saw RUSH in Houston on their last tour. We agree it was in our top three list of best shows! & I we totally love this video! ~To paraphrase your awesome comment: Dad: Turn this Rap off son! Son: Why dad? Dad: Cause we have bigger speakers and MUCH BETTER MUSIC downstairs. Saber :--)

Love it!!!

*LOL* 👍

Yes! A True Master of His Craft! And Canadian too eh!

ahhh man thats so cool great comment

That's the best description I think I've ever heard!

@@apackerfan he definately ruled the skins back in his day ,big sound outta a small kit , bohnam did also i think

and a drummer the best ever

Neil about Carl Palmer "I'll never be able to play like Carl Palmer"

My brother came back from the service and blessed me with Rush, 2112. I've loved them every since!

​@@damirhlobik6488 It's called being gracious. I hate these pissing matches, they play instruments, not against each other. Both are legends, nuff said.

RIP Neal. I totally agree.

Was he a Believer on Christ for salvation? No one comes to the Father except through Him.

Pure MUSICIANS to the CORE! 110%!! I read some interview with Geddy & Alex that Niel played concerts with blistered, cut hands plus having an inflammation on his feet playing on "bloody stumps and barely able to walk!" We will never see anyone like him again!

Hey Scott like everyone since I heard the news I've been listening to their music and reading all the comments from the short and sweet to the long and winded but I think YOU nailed it My Friend,.

@@srpdesigns appreciate that SRP, especially from a designer!

Well, yeah, but drugs and sexual conquesting aren't bad, c'mon. :)

Now that is a bit much, he may have been the best behind a drum kit, but he didnt cure cancer. If being an entertainer is your idea of benefiting the human race then ok i guess.

Why? Thousands of mediocre drummers around.

@@casinosnoopy9900 wanker

i agree 100 pct love the man rip mr peart

And the entire band.

There can only be One Best and this is it. No denying it.

+waveoflight I disagree

This seriously kicks arse 😮how have I not seen this before ?

Hey, no worries! Better late than never!

Underrated? Hardly. Correctly rated as among the greatest rock acts.

​​@@MrGordonGartrelledef underrated

I was introduced to Rush in the early mid 80’s, they definitely are talented and kick out a sound I just don’t like it much, the police trio kicked out a more intelligent rock sound for my money. Even today, everyone knows the police, but only rushes know rush. There’s a reason for that.

I can't believe it either! But you are off on a journey that will lead you to places you never imagined existed! Enjoy the ride my friend!

yep theres a whole lot of talent there thats for sure.

I wish I could upvote this video twice! Although I'm not the world's biggest Rush fan, this video planted a great big smile on my face, non-stop for 11 minutes. The band looked like they were having a ball, and the audience certainly were. I don't know why KZfaq recommended this to me on 1 January 2024, but I'm feeling better about the new year already.

Only in Canada

Lovely tribute Mr Koonz.

And half of it from the drummer.

There could be. But it would have to be a group of people who never accepted "good enough" - and were willing to spend their lives chasing "better".

@jamesmason2228 Absolutely!

Ive had 2 bands in my top place well since high school in 70's & 80's. Rush was my first favorite then Pink Floyd....

Right on. I played guitar and sang in a Rush tribute band years ago, and the technical difficulty level was off the charts.

​@KillingtonSSSvideos I bet it was how the he'll did you follow these guys note for note fair play brother

He should be in the top 3 no BS. Neil #1 drummer geddy #1 bass player.

Charles Phillips Rush and Kings X too!

zztop might disagree with that

How about ZZ Top?

Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Police, Grand Funk Railroad.

lol

Like Ged's (or was it Alex's?) mom said in Beyond the Lighted Stage: "The whole neighborhood was bumping!"

That's the way it should be :-)

All going down hill. An oid. Fuck it it. The past

I had gotten my hands on "All the World's a Stage" first and soon after found "Hemispheres" on an album rack and melted.🎸🔊

I still have ALL my LPs. I had to replace 2112 because I wore it out. My collection is about 500 to date. I luv vinyl.

Mine was Hemispheres. Had 7 older siblings. House was filled with different musical tastes and so I had my choice. I knew this band was it for me and it hasn't changed my entire life. Should have named themselves Ridiculous.

Not easily. He suffered later in life with joint pain.

I can agree, great time spent. And anyone with the name "Gravy" has got to be kickass!

@@stevenhair6156 I'm 50 shades of Gravy. 😁

@@gravydavy4188 Thats awesome! I want to open a bakery and call it "Hair pies".

@@stevenhair6156 herpes? 😂

i was just watching the "intro".

Keep that one!

Perhaps technically sound isn't the right category to put them true. But they are three musicians that can singergize extremely well and create a very full and lively music. Or did at least. And they are very good in their art.

monokhem You're not a musician, are you.

Which Rock n Roll Hall of Fame bands did you play for?

So you're not there.

There's certainly at least _one_ of the most technically sound musicians to ever walk this planet.

Well, his sticks are made of Shira Kashi oak and he breaks drumsticks so I guess you could say... He has the strength to split oaks with his hands!

Well, I wouldn't say no drugs.. read their biographies, there were plenty of drugs back in the day. I agree with everything else you said though.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

@@jimbarrofficial that is exactly what i was going to say

I think Highly Suspect might. may have drugs and tattoos involved but just as awesome musically

@@FloydMaxwell you read my mind!!!

Agreed!

Nope.they sure don't &.can't what a insane sound a magical trio can make together. ALL 3 MUSICAL GENIUS'S !!!

Dream Theater, Winery dogs, even Foo fighters

Porcupine tree, opeth, king gizzard and the lizard wizard. You just have to explore

I respected them above all else. However I am kinda happy they were not truly main stream popular...made me feel like I knew something that not many others did.

Well they did make the rock and roll hall of fame. In the music industry they are very well respected. As for the general public I like the face that they never got to mega star fame levels.

This band more than makes up for Nickelback and Bieber.

No comparison

I am always intrigued when somebody says the band or an individual does not get the credit they deserve .... by whose standards does one make this observation? What more does one expect them to have? Not to mention the arrogance of assuming to know what people deserve..

Not to mention, sing while he is doing all that, too!

layzer80 Completely amazing. I do not know how 3 people could all be so unbelievably gifted and somehow found each other. I sometimes wonder if they are even human. It's like watching that one athlete that you know you will never see the likes of again in your lifetime.

It’s their level of intelligence and musical skills! All 3 work like a well oiled machine, unfknblvabl lol.

Don’t be impressed, it’s just the bass, any idiot can do that.

@@SGMKnight I cant play the base like him,..but...Flea from RHCP WOULD. Arguably the best two bassists walking amongst us.)

I agree 100% His real talent like the rest of the band , is in his exactness. You watch other bands screw up their songs because , they say, they are tired of playing it the same way. Bull!! they probable forgot how. Not these guys, their perfect.

The credit he deserves are all those guitarists that emulate him. Rush has influenced many generations of musicians. They never gave a FUCK about critics/awards. Long time fan that absolutely agrees with your post.

Just to shake Geddy Lee or Alex Lifeson's hand.

Absolutely. And one of the greatest vocalists, with a trained healthy voice. And foot pedal synth players. And keyboardist.

Just behind John Paul Jones

Absolutely!!

He’s the best, in fact. And by quite some way.

Truth.

Or there whole career !

lol what a bunch of bullshit. It's not _THAT_ good.

DID!

Fuckin a

Saw them about that time, think it would have been Leicester De Montfort Hall. I remember Neil's kit was four sided and closed behind him when he'd sat down. He had a freakin walk-in drum kit. And yes he hit every bit, a lot!

This and John Candy. Thats about it. 😂

Terrance & Phillip!

Poutine (fries and gravy 🤤 ) is pretty good too tho…..

I prefer Terrance and Phillip

Gsp ?

Wierd but . I know, it killed me for some odd reason.

At least he got to relax with his family the last few years

A month later and it's still tough to swallow. I think the reason it stings so much is it was totally unexpected as no one outside of his family and close friends knew he was sick. I understand his reasons for keeping it quiet and can't blame him.

Lmao

It's one of the reasons I love Rush. If I want to hear something in nearly any rock-related style there's at least one Rush song that covers it.

that is a sign of a truly great band look at zz top same three guys for 47 years they do what they want when they want and don't give two s%$#s about radio play same with rush.

What I love about Rush is that they did things their way regardless of pressures from record labels, fans, agents or anyone else. They said fuck it all, we're in this for ourselves; if you like what we do, that's great, but if not, we don't really care because we genuinely love it and that's all that matters. That is the way to live your life.

Fuck yes! RUSH!!!

Unlike those record company fan hating whores metalijoke or aka selloutica.

Bullshit. The use a hidden keyboard player and recordings.

Bullshit mark

Yes and similar to YES in that way.

@@markpreston6930 You missed the keyboard on the floor that Geddy was playing with his feet while also playing some damn fine bass? Love em or hate em, they put out a lot of sound for just 3 guys. And they are so good at multitasking that they're even doing their laundry while putting on a show. 😁

@@ruthoneil2224 no and very similar to NO that way

agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes!!!!!

Listen & learn !!....timeless magic !

The 'greatest'...really? It is great, but the 'greatest'? Have you (or I or others for that matter) heard all possible 'contenders'? I suspect not, and that is not me being derogatory but rather acknowledging that it is probably an impossibility to have heard ALL alternatives great pieces.. It is also in my view that the 'greatest' is quite a subjective determination so I have come to realize that because I have not heard all possible alternatives AND because my tastes are somewhat eclectic then I am unable to state that one piece in particular is the greatest. All I could reasonably state perhaps is that one particular piece is the greatest that I have heard. For my part there are plenty of great pieces, ranging from some of Neil Young and Crazy Horse's masterful performances (Cortez, Down by the River, Cinammon Girl etc) to Yes (with Starship/Yours is No Disgrace/Wurm) to Humble Pie's I don't need no Doctor and then on to Richard Thompson's nearly 14-min Calvary Cross (my personal favourite). I just enjoy as many of these musical gems as I can before my time is up.

@@tonywethereld7429 One thing you can always count on is there is an asshole in every crowd

Then I realized it was Rush!

Lest we forget

It is.

Yeah, it took awhile for the singing to start but it was worth the wait. That lady can sing!

Back off on the 420 a little bit, that's a dude !

No Doubt about it. Never saw them live, But in 78- 80' MTV was on top of it. Too bad I didn't have a 69' TV. had the stereo.

Class of '86. ...I couldn't have survived adolescence without Rush on my Walkman.

Absolut der beste Drummer auf Augenhöhe mit Carl Palmer! Greetings fromm Germany!

All the Worlds a Stage was one of my first albums. I've been enjoying Rush since the mid-70s when I realized what music was...they invented "Progressive" rock. Unbelievable talent, lyrics, etc. RIP Neil.

@@DarryllC yo D how bout it

I too am 51. Found Rush in 82 on Signals. And like a fire it burned so bright....47 live shows and I saw my 47th in my 46th year of life. Was hoping to get one for every year for a long time.. Alas....2020...and no hope of a "one last time". Got my tickets for Neil's Lifetime Celebration in Canada and my guess is they won't let me in to go to it in October.

I'm now 58 and haven'd these guys in a few yrs. I've got goose bumps!! What a treasure they were and in many ways, still are. I was in 6th grade when I learned of them. Music can bend time better than Star Trek.
