Iv'e seen them 4 times the best one was in MSG I had center row in the 6th row what a great show. One thing I will say is that I liked Yes live better because they jammed a lot and did longer versions of their songs and I like that better in a live show.

Still considered one of the best instrumentals of all time and the best argument that Lifeson is underrated as a guitarist.

@majones501 2 ай бұрын

I’ve been a huge fan of Rush since I first became aware of them in 1976 and over the years I’ve talked with a lot of people about Alex Lifeson being such an incredible guitarist. I do not think he is underrated at all. I think there is just a lot of people who don’t like Geddy Lee’s voice (which I really just can’t understand). All three of them, with their incredible talents, each fills such huge space in the group that if someone doesn’t like the voice, it overrides everything else and they just don’t listen to the group. So rather than being underrated, I think the problem is that many people don’t have the opportunity to experience Lifeson’s talent. Whenever I have the chance, I play this song or YYZ for my friends who don’t like Rush because of the voice. As for me, I love everything about them. At least up through Moving Pictures.

@BoondockRoberts 2 ай бұрын

@@majones501 There are different kinds of underrated. There is being unknown and then there is always being ranked lower than Slash, jack White and the Edge on top lists kinda underrated.

@majones501 2 ай бұрын

I don’t pay any attention to lists. There really are so many great guitarists in the rock world, and there’s so much personal taste, subjectivity, preconceived judgement, and even just exposure. The thing I give more weight to is the opinions of other great guitarists, and they don’t underrate Lifeson.

I'd not picked up my guitar and played La Villa in near ten years, 🤫hope my wife still loves me. Life of a musician, I was a twelve year old in 1975 playing in a band full of older musicians, mostly weddings - I could play Autumn Leaves, Misty and such. I jammed my finger playing basketball and we had a gig at the Bloomsburg fair three days later... My Dad said "a commitment is a commitment, you made your bed you lay in it. Just do your best." It turned out Les Paul was the headliner and got to play along side of him... is a long story but It was hot out - I was drinking too much teem soda, was elated being called up on stage, in pain and had to pee so darn bad.

I certainly hope so! 😂 I would say keep an eye on a fast growing group of 3 sisters from Mexico called The Warning, though. They aren't as technical as Rush, but I give them 5 years and they may be nearly as powerful as Rush. I've referred to them as Rush 2.0 in many comments, as it feels like they followed the Rush handbook. I miss Rush, but after 30 years of substandard rock from other artists, The Warning gives me hope.

Part of this show was broadcast on BBC radio in 1979, which I taped at the time, and that was my introduction to Rush. Geddy usually gets all the credit for being the tap-dancing maestro, but Alex has always done his bit as well.

I'd been to thirty-two Rush concerts in my life, first in 1977. A lot of people forget Alex also played moog pedals. Is the life of a musician though, you get hand injures - usually outside of playing - but the gig goes on. Rush had always been a great band because they were what I'd call a "working band". They toured so much early on they could only get ever tighter and better. They had plenty of talent but it's the feeding off each other who are so good which pushes each other along to get even better.

The song that inspired the "Monsters!" section was the 1936 song "Powerhouse" by Raymond Scott. Warner Brothers music director Carl Stalling used "Powerhouse" in his Warner Brothers cartoon scores during the '40s and '50s. Rush didn't give credit to Scott for their use of "Powerhouse" either. By the time Raymond Scott's publisher notified the band's management of the infringement, the statute of limitations had expired on the challenge. But Rush's management, out of deference to Mr. and Mrs. Scott (Raymond was still alive at that point), and being the class act that they are, offered a one-time "penance" payment, feeling it was the ethical thing to do.
