I absolutely love that they are just as tight live as they are in their albums. They get alot of shit for their late 80s and 90s albums but they are masterpieces in their own right. Power Windows has a phenomenal sound, Roll the Bones has a great sound, Counterparts has one of their best instrumental songs and even Vapor Trails is a very great comeback. This band doesn’t have any dull moments. The prog epics are beyond words and keep even the most ADHD ridden fans like myself interested in songs like 2112 and the Cygnus books, the more popular songs like Tom Saywer and Subdivisions and Spirit of Radio are complex and have very intricate lyrics and instrumentation. Long live Rush! I’m 15 and I’m lucky to be able to listen to their music.

Once broadcast in Los Angeles in 1987, KTTV-TV Channel 11, my father recorded this on VHS and I watched it the next day. It was one of the most breathtaking live musical performances I had Ever seen. I ended up idolizing Alex Lifeson and wanted to play like him for Years. By 19, I finally figured out how to approximate Spirit of the Radio and even did a light cover of it when I was 25 with a drummer friend (who came REAL close to Peart's technique, he was pretty good). How blessed were we all to be alive during what may very well likely be the greatest era in the history of recorded music. I was very thankful to had made it to a few RUSH shows starting 2002 at Staples Center while we still had Peart with us... They still had it. YYZ sounded better than ever. Spirit of the Radio sounded better than ever. Just when you thought they were already the best, they got even better. I can rarely say that about any other band.

Red Sector A will always get me. It's so suffocating and dark and terrifying, yet filled with the primal urge to live against the greatest odds and suffering. And the song is made deeper by knowing it was inspired by Geddy's parents' experiences in the concentration camps in World War II. It's really one of their best moments.

@@supercommando440I don’t think they do match tbh. But, like you, I don’t necessarily have an expectation that they should. I view live as it’s own thing and I can appreciate both. One of the most closely matched bands between studio and live I’ve seen recently is The Warning. Their music is way less complex than Rush's of course, but it’s still impressive that they are able to do it. However, they are siblings who started as a band from tweens and early teens, so they’ve honed it. Though even early on they were tight, just less polished obviously.

I'm not sure if I was there, I saw Kiss (not sure why, but I was still in junior high) and later saw Rush, perhaps in 80-81, on a Brief Tour of Some of the Hemispheres, while they were working on Permanent Waves. Once I realized what they were saying and playing, well, it changed everything.

@@alanstrom2221 I saw Kiss back in junior high, it would have been 75-76. It was cool, but I was way up front, and as a young bass player, even I could tell that they kind of sucked as musicians. Not long after I saw Rush, it was like night and day: the difference in musicianship, songwriting, composition, technique, precision and lyrics. Once I got into high school, and realized that there was more to life than getting drunk in the woods and self-aggrandizement (you can look it up) I left Kiss behind and grew up. Rush was the type of band that progressed through the years and we grew together. That's one of the keys to their success. Some bands stay 18 years old forever, as do their fans; both becoming irrelevant before too long.

Me and my friend hotboxed my garage and watched the video of this concert genuinely the best live show I have ever witnessed and I wasn’t even there nor alive to see it! Incredible that they can play their songs with note for note precision as if it was the track with the beef of live sound our jaws were on the floor. Rush forever!!!

I'm from Brazil...and I keep thinking about the critics who insist that Rush bothered to make songs to play on the radio...Rush never sold out to the system. His creativity and artistic development has always been spontaneous. Everyone who says that has never picked up an instrument 😝

There was so much different music in front of us in 1984 on a daily basis, it was an amazing time. Rush being some of the best of that, it was more a part of our culture than it is now.

Yea great, we had some awesome epic tunes. I graduated in 1984. What a time to live , free with no cares in the world, crusin every night with Rush tunes plus many more great ones busting thru the jenson speakers. Wow I wish I had a time machine so I could go back to 80 to 85. Such a awesome time. I feel bad for our youth today . They don’t have anything but crap to listen to unless Someone could get them to listen to government mule ( love warren ) or Kenny Wayne and Noah. Artimus Pyle band is really good. I guess there is a handful. I introduced my son to classic rock , real music and musician’s, he loves it. RUSH DEFINITELY BRINGS IT !!!🤟🤟🤟 We love em plus many other classic rock bands ! 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜 💙💜💙💜💙💜🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟 RIP NEIL, much love❤🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

For me, it’s impossible to pinpoint Rush’s heyday. Every decade and era have their own pinnacle. I feel this concert is them displaying their prowess on power and speed on their classic era songs while eagerly presenting the fact that “we aren’t interested in ending our sound evolution at Moving Pictures. We have more to offer if you’ll come with us “. Long live Rush!

You never lose the music that got you thru high school. First time was Moving Pictures. This one after I was out. Thought Geddy was selling out with that "paddle bass" and the looks of the 80s. He brought Rickenbacker popularity to new levels. Pretty sure they played Red Barchetta at the Providence show.
@Sheehy223 9 ай бұрын
I think he switched to the Steinbergers because his bass tech constantly pissed and moaned about having to maintain his Rics. The 'Berger is definitely by far his weakest sound and I have no idea why anyone says they like it, doesn't really sound like Geddy to me at all. He had a pretty great sound with the WAL's he switched to later, at least in the studio.
