I still can't believe it... It is impossible... My drum and lyrics guru is dead😥😥😥I cry and I'm in mourning😪😪😪Condolence for the family, friends and all fans of Rush😓😓😓R.I.P Neil... My Brother🧡🧡🧡

How many folks are watching as many Rush videos as they can right now? Rest Easy Neil!!

I love how our fictional hero from 2112 finds a guitar, a thing which he didn't even know existed, and just picks it up and has Alex Lifeson's skills

Bought 2112 when I was 15 , still playing it 40 years later...

Every single night, headphones on, in my room, on my bed, this was my soundtrack from 14-18. Nothing like Rush, never will be again.

I have listened to 2112 at least a 1000 times and I never get tired of it.

Straight to the high point in this video: Lifeson's solo in Soliloquy at 11:07. Wow. By far the best version of this solo I've seen or heard. He's totally in the zone, letting loose, and improvising in ways that elevate this even beyond the studio take, putting his full body into it. It's one of those transcendent moments that truly puts the "live" in live music. It's not often cited as a favorite Lifeson solo (La Villa, Freewill, etc.), but it's one among many of Lifeson's deeper solo tracks that blows the mind upon a closer, active listen. Even on the original studio cut, the deep tone, prolonged bends, pinched harmonics, wailing and mournful ups and downs.... an incredibly expressive piece that perfectly conveys the longing despair in the lyrics. Lifeson's a true musical genius.

What a gorgeous, phenomenal live version of this masterpiece. I saw the original 2112 tour as a teenager...and Rush became the soundtrack of my life. No band will ever come close to being as individually and collectively musically talented as this band...each a virtuoso on his instrument...and Neal such a lyrical genuis. Neal is the reason I became a drummer...and my soul weeps from him passing away. May you rest in peace Professor....LONG LIVE RUSH !!!!

I vote this the best of all videos on KZfaq.

A music legend leaves us, but his legacy will be followed, studied and admired for centuries to come. There will never be another. RIP Neil

Alex tears it up here. Such a divine performance, as always. They assumed permanent control long ago.

I heard Closer to the Heart on the radio in 1977. I was 14. I went out to buy the record but they didnt have A Farewell to Kings. They did have 2112. It looked cool but i didnt know what to expect. I bought it. Played it. Changed my fkg life. ♡

When a KZfaq video can produce lasting chills, you know that's one hell of a performance.

Alex is the most underrated guitarist in history

And that is why 2112 is an amazing album kids

So horrible to see they were in incredible shape here, so tight and strong, and in about 40days, Neil's world would shatter under his feet, and theirs along with him, when his daughter died August 10 1997.

40 years ago when i was young, my great friend Mike Felion asked me one night, "do you like Rush"? , with a stupid face i said no, who is Rush? He looked at me with sadness, then anger and then a calmness and a smile...tomorrow i will bring you my favorite Rush Album for you to hear...sure enough he graced me with a copy "2112". He said to me keep it as long as you want, but listen to it and learn to appreciate it's beauty and power....it has been 40 years still the power and the beauty of these boys from toronto still rock my world today. God bless Alex, Geddy and may you be at peace Mr. Peart your words and music still shape my soul and life today......and somewhere in the universe...Mike, THANK YOU! For giving me the gift of RUSH!

What can you say about Alex Lifeson? The dude is fucking phenomenal and doesn’t get enough credit. You see that comment on KZfaq a lot. So and so is underrated. In this case it’s true. AL is one of the greatest rock guitar players of all time and he doesn’t get enough credit. From his solos to his chords and rhythm playing. He’s one of the great ones in my eyes.

I heave a sigh and sadly smile.....and wish that I HAD BEEN THERE! What a performance!!

Oh man Alex is a LEGEND!!!

The man is not dead he's still here to inspire us.

I remember the first time I heard 2112 back around the time it was released. . . . dumbfounded. . . . I had never even heard of Rush and immediately I was just stunned upon hearing 2112 That was a great era for music.

alex lifeson absolutely tears that guitar apart. FUCKING AWESOME

This tour was easily my favorite Rush concert. The night I saw them the sound was phenomenal (kudos to their sound engineer) and Geddy was on it, just shrieking his lungs out. Front to back an outstanding concert but when 2112 started everyones arms shot up and the roar was deafening, one of those "holy shit, it's really going to happen. We're going to hear the entire 2112, they're really going to do it" moments.

RIP Neil! You will be an inspiration for generations to come.

I’ve seen them 35 times and I still can’t believe how good they were live !!! RIP Neal

Thank you Alex, Geddy, and Neil for the music that has given me and others so much joy and listening pleasure all these years. We fans love you and appreciate the work and expertise you put in for your loving fans. We miss you and are so thankful for having you share your years of music for us. From a devoted and loving fan. We wish you all the best for your retirement Alex and Geddy and so miss your Buddy and friend Neil.

Rush is in a league by themselves,!! ,3 Legendary musicians,!! , Doing,things way ahead of their time!! This was written in 76,,,and is still,ahead of,so many bands 45 years later,!! , Epic and Timeless!

this is the best version of 2112 I've ever heard .

My god, i cant believe i have never heard this. Amazing performance, something about Geddys vocals are just amazing, he sings with such passion..

The greatest band in the galaxy !!!!!!

Man Geddy sounds amazing here! All 3 members firing on the same cylinder. That they could sound this good 20 years after the 2112 release, will never see this again!

MAn, Alex's solo @ 11:08 is to die for! that emotion!

My God, was this not the most incredible power trio on EARTH? Was this not musical brilliance? Was this not the most powerful performance of 2112 that these dudes have ever performed. Awesome! Nobody will ever be able to replace Neil, he will be missed. He is legend, he is gone and I miss him already.

Alex Lifeson. Playing his ASS OFF!!! That's what I love about old Rush songs, mad guitar parts.

Alex's tone is so amazing. Just a master player all around!

Really shows Alex's guitar skills. One of my favorites of theirs

I would sell everything I own to see this live my god!!! fav album ,RIP Neil we wont forget you ever!!!!

I saw this show May 26, 1997. This video is from Toronto 1 month after i saw them but this is the same "show" I saw. Me and my sister flew from Maine to Washington state to see this concert at the Gorge Amphitheater with family that lived out there. In '97, there was no social media so we didn't know what to expect from this concert other than the stuff they'd obviously play and stuff from the new T4E album. This is the tour where they pulled "Natural Science" out of the vault and we nearly shit ourselves when Alex started with the acoustic riff. The crowd went nuts!! But when they kicked into the start of 2112, we all shit ourselves again but we had ZERO clue they were going to do the entire 2112 story before eyes. 25 of the greatest minutes of my life spent at that venue in the Columbia River Basin as they banged off the entire side one of 2112. We were hammered but man we were coherent enough to know we were witnessing what was probably the greatest Rush concert ever since before the R30 in Rio, this crowd at the Gorge was the biggest audience Rush had ever performed for in their history. While the R40 farewell concert in Boston was one of the best Rush shows I ever saw, it still was second to the T4E Tour 1997. I will never ever ever forget that as long I am breathing.

I still have my Vinyl 2112 LP from when I was a kid. My mom brought me to Tower Records to buy it when it first came out. I have 2 other copies that are in much better shape but I like listening to the older LP because of all the pops the needle picks up brings me back to the 70s and 80s.

The professor. Long live Bernard (Buddy) Rich and now Neil Peart. Much blessings to all

Best 2112 I have ever heard live. Geddy's voice is so on point.

This belongs in a time capsule and should be sent into space along with Neil.

This tour was my first time hearing the complete piece and I will never forget it.

I have always found this piece from 2112 so beautiful and uplifting. That is, until the priests have their say. Alex really showed his creative power. Also, beautiful performance. I'm so envious for those who got to see them play this back in '76.

The unbelievable way Geddy shrieked out the vocal on the original recording could never be done again! Simply unique and one of a kind original voice! 😲👌✊

That is EXACTLY what went through my head during their Montreal show; couldn't believe I would actually witness ALL of 2112 in my life, and then it began!! Felt magical... connecting on a higher plane. Spiritual moving experience; one I'll never forget. This band transports like few others. Only D. Gilmour and Knopfler can do that for me. Missing them dearly already...

Alex’s intro here may be some of his finest work.

Emotional rollercoaster! I miss the days when geddy could sing. Jesus, what an awesome song

Saw this live from tenth row upfront, best seats I ever had for Rush, I can't put it into words!

RUSH was my very first concert in 1979. Opened my eyes into a whole new world. It's 2021 and haven't stopped going to concerts. Have seen some of the greatest monsters of rock the world has ever known.

I’m 28 but have been a diehard Rush fan nearly my entire life when my dad introduced me to them at a very young age. I went to 3 shows of their R30 tour and I’ve never seen in my life over 15,000 men all crying and praising God all at once at each show. Right then and there, the raw emotion I felt during each night with all those other fans absolutely confirmed that a Rush concert was truly heaven on Earth.

I love this band so much...still can't believe Neil is gone..

OMG my favorite live video of Rush I’ve ever seen!!!

I'm 49 years old and Rush has been my favorite band since my dad got Fly By Night in 1976, I was 6 years old. Hard to express what Rush is to me. I know I'm far from alone in that. When I got older and started playing guitar Alex was my model and to this day, after all the Van Halen and Steve Vai and metal, Alex is still my standard for the greatest and Rush is still my favorite band ever bar none. RIP Neil.

I was at this show as well as the one in Detroit. I'm so glad someone made such an incredible video of this. I've seen them every tour since All The Wold's A Stage. Can't wait to see the R40 show in Detroit.

I am still in an loss for words how deeply Neal's passing has effected me as well as millions of others. R.I.P Pratt!!!

So glad that Oracle: The Dream is played here. They always seemed to skip that chapter live more often than not.

So sad, that one of the greatest and most creative guitarist will never perform again with the other two live on stage. But videos like this one will help the memories of the "disembodied spirit" named Neill alive for all of us.

The best band in the galaxy !!! :) RUSH RULES

Love Neil sitting there with that sweet Neil smile throughout the set! RIP professor we all miss you dearly.

I’m heartbroken that such a HORRIBLE TRAGEDY HAS OCCURRED. So UNFAIR THAT THE GREATEST PERCUSSIONIST, LYRICIST, AUTHOR, TRAVEL ADVENTURER, and GREAT DAD AND HUSBAND HAS PASSED AWAY IN SUCH A TRAGIC WAY! IM A PHYSICIAN BY TRADE AND I CANNOT WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THIS STILL 02/16/20....LIFE IS SO UNFAIR....😭😭😭😭😭 THANK YOU NEIL, RUSH AND FAMILY FOR GIVING THE WORLD SUCH BEAUTIFUL GUFTS THAT JUST NEVER STOP GIVING....

Wow! That was by far the best version of 2112 I've ever seen on you tube.

Alex tone is a amazing.

Man Alex Lifeson on that guitar damn

So good,it shows in the passion of the performance.

Get to finally see discovery,, and the oracle live after all these years,,, they always played a condensed version of the 2112 album side live!!

a testament to the genius of Lerxt

No wonder Gibson made a couple guitars with his name on them he mastered them love the videos with him playing his Gibsons.

Just imagine if Alex had tried to be the best musician in the band. But, he sure as hell gives it his best!! I'm amazed the venues don't burst into flames when these guys get cooking!!

I first saw rush in 1976 and I still love them!

Happy that I happened to be on this little planet at the same time these 3 guys.

Man….Alex just friggin Crushes this! So badass. Love that particular Les Paul!

So classic Alex! I could watch him play the Les Paul all day long!

If your really into this band like many people say they Are, than you listened to Grace Under Pressure Power Windows Hold your Fire Presto As much as.. 2112 Moving Pictures Permanent Waves Exit Stage Left. Thank you Neil Forever💝

Undoubtedly the single most influential drummer of all time. There are many other great, great players but none taught so many so much. His profound influence cannot be overestimated and will be felt for decades to come. Godspeed, Neil Peart.

I was fortunate to see them four times. 1984, 1994, 2004, and 2011. That I could have seen them just a few more times.

This may be the best performance of 2112 I have seen. Just phenomenal all around.

Can't get enough of the MASTERS........Rush is #1 in my book

Suddenly you were gone from all of us you’ left your mark upon Neil we will always watch you guys and listen must dig that record out

From the comments it’s clear that I’m not the only one that’s heard this album hundreds of times and still get goosebumps as if I’m hearing it (again) for the first time.

I just stumbled across this ,the other day. I had no idea there was a video of this show and of such quality. I saw them on that tour, but at the Palace of Auburn hills, Michigan. This video is amazing...their performance is amazing!! I am blown away by this. I'm not sure if Rush felt it, but it seems to me this was one of those magical performances, where they were all playing in top form and locked into it . Geddy's vocals are amazing on this, as is Alex's guitar ...and Neil's drumming. Just amazing. Love this. Thanks for posting.

I saw them 2 times Moving Pictures and Signals tours and I will say by far and large the most professional and intricate band I have ever seen RIP Neil Peart

No matter how many times I have listened to this particular album since its release, it never gets old.

The Beatles,no. Stones, no. Led Zep, no. Rush, yes, the greatest band of all time hands down.

geddy sounds amazing on this one.

I'm not crying - you're crying!!!

What an amazingly lovely solo intro!

Still in shock over Neil's death!! Can't get enough Rush ever since!! Love this!

Hard to watch this knowing we will never see them play together again , Neil's death has hit so many people closer to the heart then we could ever expect , Thank you Neil for your contribution to Rock n Roll you will be sadly missed by millions

Wow been a while since I listened to parts 3-7. The whole song ( 2112) is awesome.

Geez, this brought tears to my eyes. :(

just Sublime!!! So peaceful!!!

Thanks Neil.

Jesus ... RIP Neil Peart. What a loss. 2112 and All The World's A Stage were a huge part of my personal and musical growth as a kid in the late seventies. Reading Ghost Rider about Neil's healing after losing his daughter and wife by riding his BMW across continents was also pivotal in my later life. What an incredibly multi faceted human being he was.

I’ve been following and watching Rush since the 70’s. We have lost a true legend. There will never be another Neil Peart.

The full 2112, I can't stop watching this, it's so amazing! I also love that les paul!

Geddys voice is amazing!

Alex is an underrated genius/legend/God.

never to be repeated, always the best.
