Working man dropped in 1974, the final track on Rush's debut album. This was actually before Neil Peart (Peert) joined the band. He wouldn't show up until their next album, Fly By Night, the following year. The drummer on this one was John Rutsey. Also, if you want live Rush, check out YYZ Live in Rio. You're welcome :)

If you want a primer on Rush, watch Beyond The Lighted Stage on Netflix, a superior documentary that covers their career and influence. You also owe it to yourself to watch the live version of this song from the Time Machine tour stop in Cleveland. It's their final encore, and there's a reason the Cleveland performance is so special. This song, and Cleveland, were what set Rush's incredible career in motion. On a whim, a Cleveland disc jockey played this song on the air one day. Being a blue-collar, industrial city, the people of Cleveland ate it up and the radio station's phones blew up with fans wanting to hear it again and again. The door to the US had been opened, and the band set out to tour the US. Right before they left for the tour, Rutsey was replaced by Peart and the rest is history.

I always appreciated that Neil played the percussion from the first album the way that John Rutsey played it. Neil was literally hired the week before they went on tour for the first album because John had health issues that made it dangerous for him to tour. Talk about divine providence. Individually, all three are without question in contention for the GOAT ... put them all together and words can hardly describe the result. Enjoy the rabbit hole.

Fun fact about this song. This was the breakthrough song for Rush. Played right here on WMMS in Cleveland. The reason the DJ played it? She had to use the restroom and flipped through the records to find the longest song she could. Also, no unfortunately Rush does not tour. Neil Peart passed away in January of 2020. I'm convinced he was the glue holding the world together because he died and then the world went to shit. As mentioned already, this wasn't Neil in this song and is definitely a more straightforward approach to drumming than Neil would typically play.

That was just the first record. They were kids when they wrote it and young adults when they recorded and released it. The level of musicianship at even that early stage was good. It only went up like a rocket from there when Neil replaced original drummer John Rutsey who only appeared on this record. Neil replaced him shortly before their first tour and has been a driving force in the band until his untimely death earlier this year. Now you heard it, watch them play it on the time machine tour video 30+ years later. It’s a sonic and visual wonder.

Although by the 90s geddy voice had really deteriorated due to so many years and shows of singing that high. love your guys videos and hope i answered all of the questions if i missed some i’m sure someone can reply to this and clarify. cheers!

The song came out in 1974, and it was actually their breakout single (in the US, at least). They didn't get recognition until an album or 2 later. In terms of if they are still touring? They stopped in 2017, because Neil Peart (drummer) was dealing with tendinitis and shoulder problems, and he was such a perfectionist, that he didn't want to tour if he wasn't able to give it his all. On top of that, the Neil ended up passing away earlier this year from brain cancer. When it comes to live performances, they have a ton of high quality videos. their R30 and R40 tours are the first that come to mind. Time Machine Tour and Clockwork Angels Tour are a few more. For songs (not sure if you have already reacted to these), but my favs are Roll the Bones, Limewire, The Spirit of Radio, YYZ, and Dreamline. Most, if not all of them, should have a live version from one of the tours I mentioned.

I was thirteen when Rush played in St Catherine’s. It was a high school and the event was battle of the bands. Jhon Rutsey, the drummer was the leader. It was sad when I found out Jhon had a bout with diabetes and had a heart attack. Neil Peart was doing gigs in England and came back to Toronto. He gradually went to a Rush tryout and Geddy and Alex were blown away.

So many great guitar players you should know about. I find most guitar players deemed great is because the band is great. A great band usually knows how to inspire someone. Improvised by its gathering of words and music. Meaning the theme of the song is connected by the music. When you played Rock Bottom that was a perfect example of one person/ guitar player improvising to the meaning of the song in pure greatness. That is the growth of a musician and not necessarily the band. The focal point of the best guitar player should not be based on the best band. Michael Schenker was that type of guitarist. I believe I need to contribute monthly and I would like to just not sure how. I love how you two work together. It is so natural. I do have a suggestion to a beautiful blues and rock guitarist. Rick

"Working Man"- from their self-titled debut, 1973. Alex Lifeson (guitar), Geddy Lee (bass and vocals), John Rutsey (drums). John Rutsey left Rush after the first album, to be replaced by Neil Peart on their second album, "Fly By Night". I've always seen Rush as the link between old-school Prog and traditional Metal. If Led Zeppelin and E.L.P. had a baby, it would be Rush. And yes, Rush is from a big city: Toronto. You might not recognize it though, as it's the only big city I've ever been in that was spotlessly clean. It even smells clean, how weird is that? ("Oh hey, that's perfectly normal", say the Canadians.)

Donna Halper, a radio DJ in Cleveland Ohio back in the early 70s used to play this song when she had to be away from the mic, and she always had people call in and request that new "Led Zeppelin" song. When she told people it was a new canadian band called Rush, Americans got word and "rushed" out to buy their debut album (RUSH, 1974). By that summer they had a US recording contract under way. Their 8th album (Moving Pictures, 1981, with hits like Limelight, Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta, etc), they absolutely exploded into the worldwide music scene, for a 2nd time. Bassist, keyboardist, and singer Geddy (Gary, his mother had an accent, both parents were holocaust survivors) Lee has said one of his favorite songs to perform live was Working Man.

"Working Man" was the song that got the band noticed, from their 1974 debut album simply titled "Rush". Unfortunately, Neil Peart passed away earlier this year, and the band has retired the Rush name. Their last concert was several years ago now. BUT... if you want to see how these 3 guys performed this song at the END of their career, there is a great video on KZfaq from their "Time Machine Tour" filmed in Cleveland that shows how talented they were playing THIS SONG as their encore. Watch Alex Lifeson at 60yrs old shred that guitar solo like a 25yr old... PS... Geddy Lee = singer, bass player, synthesizers... sometimes all at once (synth pedals with his feet while playing bass, or synth with hands and Taurus Bass Pedals with feet.)

As mentioned below... This is from Rush's first album "Rush" (1974). This song is actually the song that got them discovered to "the big time". Rush's first song to hit a radio stations rotation. First and only album the drummer was John Rutsey. John Rutsey had pretty serious health issues and they were worried that touring would kill him after being discovered, so Rush looked for and found Neil Peart as his replacement. Neil is the lyricist on every album except this first album. Geddy Lee is the Vocalist\Bassist\keyboards\etc and Alex Lifeson is lead guitars. Unfortunately Neil passed away this January from a very aggressive form of brain cancer, so It's you-tube and DVD's\Blu-Rays for your "Live" Rush fix from now on. When Neil passed, I think half the country's facebook feeds had nothing but Rush\Neil posts for at least two weeks straight... Very sad but surely an EPIC outpouring for Rush!

For live RUSH you'll probably see lots of mentions of "YYZ" when they performed in Rio or "Xanadu" from their Exit Stage Left video. YYZ is less about the performance and more about the give and take between the band and the amazing audience that night. For a pure demonstration of their talent as musicians and and synergy as a band I think Xanadu from Exit Stage Left stands alone. Alex plays a six and twelve string guitar, Geddy sings, plays bass, keyboards and rhythm guitar while Neil juggles every percussive instrument imaginable. Oh, and Neil wasn't the drummer on the studio version of Working Man. That track is from their self titled first album and Neil didn't join the band until after it was released.

Fun fact, Rush got their foothold into US market via Cleveland. The story goes, DJ.s when they need a bathroom break will look for a long song to play. It was Donna Halper that discovered Rush for the US market. When she put the song on the radio airways, people were calling in wondering when the new Led Zeppelin album got released. In fact, Rush first album does have a Zeppelin feel and very rock n roll. Their second album adds a prog feel, just after Neil Peart joined the band.

love watching you guys discover music that was my life. Rush was my local band in the 70s when I was in junior high & high school. Bassist and lead singer is Geddy Lee. Unique and massively talented on bass to say the least. Lead guitarist Alex Lifeson is criminally underrated. He’s generally the guitarist that other famous guitarists say is their favourite. And the professor, percussionist Neil Peart (pronounced pee-ert), wrote all the lyrics and is still regarded as the best rock drummer ever, perhaps tied with John Bonham. 40-odd years of touring and albums, concerts almost continuously, there are so many songs to choose from. A (very) few I’d recommend to start: The Spirit of Radio, Xanadu, 2112 (an almost album-long prog opera work, but the overture is a good start), Subdivisions, YYZ. Live, they are beasts. I’m partial to the Brazil (Rush in Rio)concert. Good film shows them toward the end of their career still at full power. And if anyone hasn’t mentioned it yet, they retired recently, and Neil soon afterward (January 2020) passed away from brain cancer.

After this album, the drummer left due to musical differences. He wanted to go down a Bad Company blues rock route, but Geddy and Alex wanted to go more of a prog route. Rutsey was also diabetic and the touring lifestyle didn't agree with his health. They recruited Neil Peart who also became the lyricist. They remained together until their final tour in 2015. Neil sadly passed away from cancer in January of this year (2020). I believe the World has gone to crap since his passing, but maybe that's just me. I can think of various videos for you guys to watch: Xanadu from the Exit... Stage Left concert from 1981. YYZ from Rush In Rio (Have you ever heard a crowd of 60,000 singalong to an instrumental?) and Neil's drum solo from Frankfurt, Germany in early 00's.

You guys seem to love the guitar in this, maybe now is a good time to get into Jimi Hendrix! Also. Jimi's drummer Mitch Mitchell is one of the most underrated drummers from his era

Robert Williams I added a like, but I’m sorry. Once you get beyond the historical context of a black man playing hard rock guitar and as a lefty, and that’s really it. Innovator? That’s probably fair, but from feel to technical abilities there are literally many many more accomplished and spectacular players of the instrument.

FYI : The drummer on this track and the first Rush album was Dave Rutsy. Prior to their first tour, Dave had health issues and Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and the manager all agreed that he had to be replaced. That's where Niel comes. Rush performed for 40 years. Thier final concert was in L.A in 2015. Thier plenty of info on Rush out thier. Also Niel has written some great books. He was responsible for all the lyrics on thier songs starting on their fly by night album.

Geddy Lee, vocals, bass, keyboards, taurus pedals are Alex Lifeson guitar, pedals Neil Peart drums, Percussion. Lyrics. Alex Lifeson wrote this song about his Dad who worked two to three jobs. This is off their first album and they were all around 20yrs old at the time. John Rutsy is playing drums on this album but he was asked to leave the band because of health reasons. Neil Peart auditioned and was asked to join the band. He learned all of their songs in two weeks before they went on tour. Neil then took over most of the lyric writing. To see them live check out Working Man live in Cleveland when they are still rocking hard and they are in their 50's. Xanadu from Exit stage Left 1981. Everything is live...nothing taped. La Villa Strangiato from their official music video. YYZED live in Rio. Every Little Victory Live from Rio and If you want to see their story watch Rush Beyond the Lighted Stage. Three amazingly talented down to earth Canadian rock masters! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦✌

RUSH is a Toronto Ontario band and started back in 1968. The lead singer or vocals, bassist (To which he is considered The Best Bassist in the world to this point) and keyboards are Geddy Lee, the lead Guitarist is Alex Lifeson. The original drummer was John Rutsey but he had health issues and he left the band because it limited the ability to tour. John Rutsey passed away in 2008. After that a few others came and left and finally, Neil Peart joined and the rest is history. The music they played was a Rockn' Blues but eventually was termed as progressive Rock.
