Everything else is just Noise not. Long live RUSH 🎸🥁🎙️🇨🇦

The fact Geddys voice sounded like the studio version , most of the 80,s rock bands couldn’t sing live for shit

Just think of this when they did 2112 album they were only 23 and 24 years old . lol

Damn,well said!!!

"and Kiss"???? With that remark you lost all credibility after such an impressive start.

I consider myself pretty clever in review and presentation whenever I feel the need to articulate myself to a particular subject - especially when it comes to this band we know and love as RUSH. You took all the words out of my mouth -and then some. Well said - however. The Beatles, the Stones ( Led Zeppelin will receive a free pass for this one and a nod of recognition here ) The Who and Kiss will never come within a light-year of approaching the musical genius and talent of RUSH. RUSH only becomes RUSH when all three of these humble gentlemen take the stage together to play for their fans - scratch that - friends. This is how RUSH have always seen us and consider us. This is how Geddy, Alex, and Neil always saw us. This is deeper than their music and there is just not a lot of bands out there that enjoy this kind of relationship with their fans. I have always said: "RUSH will never be RUSH again without all three of these men together. If only one of them was gone - it didn't matter which one - RIP Professor Peart - it will not be RUSH; and I can't help but think that they know that too. Thank you for a great post to a great band. We love them - we miss them. Long Live RUSH!!!!

Freewill too. They are all soloing but it blends together. Definitely one of the best bands ever!

Neil was most certainly great and undoubtedly one of the most famous and influential drummers of all time. But the "best drummer who ever roamed the Earth"? Meh... you must not know very much about drummers and drumming.

My only talent was writing and literature. I'm 62 and confine my time writing comments on KZfaq. What wonderful music as a back drop for my writing. Wish I could have met John Steinbeck to me he was the greatest writer in the last century. Steinbeck and Rush What a combination for total happiness 😊.

@@timothygrayson Rush + Steinbeck - say no more...I draw another goblet from the cask of ’43 and say...Santé!

Bands of this era are the best who ever performed. As a teenager when this was performed we had no clue at the time just how honored we were to be a part of It. The bands of the 60's 70's and 80's will never be replicated nor should they be. Graduated from High school In 1976. What a blessing....

Tell me that all day

​@@jamesbills5998 100% agree, although I would add the 90s+ to those decades of marvelous music. Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Fiona Apple and one of my favorites Tori Amos ALL wrote some great music which I see as a continuation of the change the Beatle's Rubber Soul and Revolver ushered in. Or that Dylan began, if you prefer. Or someone else early- mid 60s. So much quality music to be inspired by.

They have/had really large brains.

I saw Rush in 1981 at the Mile High Stadium in Denver. ❤Super❤ ❤talented ❤

He's excellent, but he won 2nd in Guitar player magazine multiple times. So I don't know about underrated. Frank Marino is a guy who's truly criminality under rated.

Thank geddy, his keyboards made dude bob and weave 6:26

Alex maybe a lot of things but underrated is NOT one of them.

Completely agree with that! He made the electric guitar seem as though it were actually talking

I saw the in 1980 with Saga. That was the best concert I ever saw.

Haha! We did the same thing during our free 2nd period. Went to Vin's house, smoked weed and jammed( we both play) to Rush and Zep. Got back to school for 3rd period English totally stoned and our teacher was also manager of a strip club who, as rumor has it, spiked his coffee with whiskey every morning in class! Can't make this stuff up. Good memories.

Grown men weep....at the Majesty

I seen them 2002 Ames Ia Vapor Trails tour with the washing machines ‼️❤️‍🔥👍🔥💨 & that’s the only show I’ve seen that had 2 ladies on each side of the stage doing Sign Language, the whole time!!! Amazing. I think I watched the ladies the most.

46:44 - By-Tor and the Snow Dog

ur a hero

Also 46:44 By Tor and the Snow Dog 50:52 In the End 52:35 In the Mood 54:10 2112 Finale 56:33 La Villa Strangiato

And then la villa strangiato after that

My word. Never saw Rush live, always liked what I heard. Never knew they were this good. Amazing performance from a trio of very talented musicians.

Charlotte North Carolina signals tour. My First concert ever

Pinnacle

The difference between a Rush concert and a Taylor Swift concert is the music of Rush is the entertainment. No pyrotechnics, costume changes, dancers, stage theatrics. Nothing to divert your attention away from music that sucks.

BS it was the height of their greatest. It was boring. Rush was at their best touring for Hemispheres.

@@nkmcfrln your comment is boring

Gods

Yes Rest in Peace Professor. when my Cerwin Vegas need a workout... Neil Peart is always the solution.

LOL...I appreciate your verve! They are GREAT musicians...But don't neglect ELP, Genesis, YES, Crimso, Gentle Giant and most of prog; The musicians in that genre are all "unparalleled" ...

no one would want to , for fear of catching an std

Not one , the one.

One of ... ????? NO, the best ......

nope, The Best Band Ever!

Most Definitely.

top guys forever rush!!!......justicia a mexican fan

Saw Hemispheres, Permanent Waves and this tour and never went to another show. I just couldn't see them topping those 3 tours.

My first Rush also. Never went back until Clockwork Angels but was glad I did, caught the final tour as well.

Permanent Waves my very First Concert, What A great day. Topped only by Moving Pictures. Shortly there after. True musicians at the height of there performances.

My first concert was the Texas Jam in 1984, it was Rush, Gary Moore, Bryan Adams, Ozzy and 38 Special. It was so damn hot but by the time Rush hit the stage is was night time and cooling off.

I saw Journey @ the Capitol Center that same year.

Saw them there that after for Signals and then some and lol...

That shirt's probably worth ~$500 right now. Seriously. I've somehow ended up with a few grand worth of concert shirts, and all I did, my secret to success, was as follows: I liked the band and enjoyed listening to them with my friends; I bought some of their records and taped their other records from my friends (~$7 - $10/ea); I bought a ticket to their concert (~$10 - $16), and then - and I can't stress this enough - and then, once there, I bought not just a shirt but a 3/4 sleeve damn jersey. That's the one price I never remember, ~$20 maybe? Point being, nothing makes sense anymore, and I'd sooner burn my damn shirts than sell them. Go in peace, and may all your tickets be Gen Adm, may the opening band never suck as much as you thought they would, and may you always see the beach ball bouncing yonder, aloft yet still through the heavy blue smokey haze.

@@pastorjimwalls5924 saw the Escape tour in 1980, I think it was 🤘🏻🍻

@@awarewolves1712 I totally hear you I do have the 1981 Original Moving Pictures shirt and the earliest shirt I have is a 1980 Van Halen invasion Tour shirt that is a Jersey from thinking Women and children first. I also saw Metallica open for Ozzy on the master of puppets tour still have that ticket stub and 2 shirts that were bootlegs with Ozzy on the front and Metallica on the back from that show, Ozzy on the ultimate sin tour with Metallica. Plus Van Halen in 1981 Judas Priest Turbo, Dokken under lock and key, girls girls girls from Motley Crue, Iron maiden from the power slave tour, Judas Priest from the defenders of the faith tour, 1982 ACDC for those about to rock, 1986 Van Halen 5150 tour, 1983 ZZ Top eliminator tour, And the very first show I saw was kiss on the kiss alive 2 love gun tour with ACDC opening but unfortunately I don't have the shirt from that, also the original shirt from the iron maiden somewhere in time tour, Dio from the Sacred Heart tour, I honestly do have all the ticket stubs from all those shows as well as some other shows that I did not buy a shirt from like slippery when wet Bon Jovi and Doctor feelgood Motley Crue, Accept both the metal heart and Russian roulette tours, and Kiss on the Dynasty Tour, and Black Sabbath on the born again tour when Quiet Riot opened, Poison opening for Ratt on the dance tour in 1987, Queen on the game tour in 1982 with Billy Squire opening, Styx on the rockin the paradise tour, white snake with Motley in 87 on the girls girls girls tour, journey on the Escape tour in 1980, Blue Oyster Cult, Foghat, man on and on, and will die before giving up any of that stuff, or the memories from those cherished, hallowed years 🤘🏻🍻

Please, Yes is the best.

Edit - add Limelight to that

at some point, your list becomes in the tens 😂

@@litedawg + Xanadu, Camera Eye and 50 others to that...

Same here! Born in 1968. Saw them at the Omni in Atlanta in Fall 86

Born in april 68, I was 13 too... And ''Moving Pictures Tour'' was my very first concert experience, (first of many other shows that followed, I'm impressed when I take my ticket box out of the vault to check, once every decade...) I also saw ''Signals'', where Rush were at their peak of popularity ( caused by Moving Pictures album...) and something happened in my town (Quebec, Canada) for that show that was sold-out in 2 days... Tickets back then had a more cheap, school play look to them, so... Since they had sold the 14000 to fill the place, maybe 30,000 people or more wanted to see Rush. Some dudes had the great idea to print fake tickets, the same 4 tickets reprinted 20000 timesand they sold them in large batches for a fraction of the normal price (5$ vs 12,50$) So the night of the concert, 35000 wasted Rush fans expected to go in the Colisée to see their favorite band... You can all imagine what kind of a clusterf**cked shit show the evening turned out to be, with the vandalism, beer bottle projectiles , cops backups, and tons of arrests... Good old times, those crazy GenX 80's.. I sure miss 'em...

@@johnnywinter8892 Damn, I wish I had kept my old ticket stubs! I only got to see Rush twice but still amazing.

May 1981 for me at the old Capital Centre in Landover Maryland. Still have the ticket stub and the shirt, really do!

Dittos, Chicago. Rush at the top of their game, bringing back awesome memories hearing and seeing it, I was in awe

I was there as well

I KNOOOO! but I saw it in Detroit, so awesome.

Same here, but in the Boston Garden for the first show and the Moving Pictures Tour the year beforehand and thank God because We lost Neil in 2015 and I have never seen such a genius way of going back in time.2nd half was amazing cuz I’ve always loved them up until the Signals album straight from their humble beginnings-1982.❤

I saw them early in 1981 in Milwaukee, then when I was stationed at Camp LeJuene, we took a special services bus to Fayetteville NC to see them in this little gym type venue. Heard Subdivisions for the first time that night! Damn Im old 😂

Sonic excellence

Except for the vocals

Yes, they were the best at reproducing the same sound always 🙂👍

Nice lol
