Power Windows has always been my favorite Rush album. Every Rush album has its place, but Power Windows has such a big, richer sound.

I'll always count myself lucky that I happen to be one of those Rush fans that loves all the eras. Recently starting really getting in deep with this one and it is seriously unique. Love this record.

Absolutely me too! and listening to rush fan podcasts so many fans that hated that era finally see what Rush was doing and really embracing the music of that era!

One of the best albums EVER recorded. It's sublime. The music, performances and production are incredible. Everyone who says 'too many keyboards' should just listen to the bass lines and guitar solos on this record. Out of this world.

ZX7 -RR the effects used on the very new sounding synths were an atmospheric extravaganza. Ditto for the sounds Alex and Neil achieved. Clever use of reverbs propel the synths into large atmospheric soundscapes and some good sequenced synths that have a very musical rock feel. I was 16 and aware of rush, just got a new casio cz101 and played this album everyday, still one of my favorite albums by anyone. Very good album to learn a little rock theory on, much like Moving Pictures was for guitar.

Trippy how Rush was in their new wave/synth era and MTV keep using the OG pink logo from their incarnation stage. You'd think they'd use the newer sleeked GUP era logo. Cool how the logos were always representative of their current sound.

His voice was definitely changing back then, though. He couldn't sing the stuff from albums like 2112 like he used to. On the other hand, his voice actually got stronger in some ways. He was a better singer, but just didn't have the range to wail like a banshee any more.

Second Rush show for me. Thursday Jan 9, 1986, Pensacola Civic Center w/ Steve Morse opening. Never forget at the start of the solo in CTTH, Alex broke a string, and literally threw his guitar like 10 feet toward stage right(where someone caught it) while another guy ran out with a new guitar. Never missed a note, if you blinked you would have missed it, how Neil and Geddy saw and knew just where to double back to the exact spot was just unbelievable.

I just can't believe it, THANKS for posting this wonderful material, I used to spend hours during my high school days watching the GOOD OLD MTV always expecting to see a Rush interview, specially during the Grace U.

Mark Goodman and the lovely Martha Quinn talking about my favourite band, 500 characters are not enough in order to desribe this beauty CHEERS!

Power Windows is an absolute masterpiece, which founded a keyboard-based new genre of music, that was being baked from Signals album. Today, a huge number of bands, like russian masters The Gourishankar, are based exactly on this genre.

@vinnykster 10 жыл бұрын

Geddy was so right on the money in the first interview with regards to the hair bands that were fakin it and following all the clichés. The bands that transcend metal that he was describing ended up bein Metallica for Geddy. Geddy has always been a big fan of them cause of there realness and musicianship

@duder6666 I think you're right, music is for the most part completely disposable now. I think that's why bands don't last as long either. I guess I'm old but I just can't bring myself to buy mp3s for example. To me, enjoying the album art, reading the lyrics and credits (especially on Rush albums) and actually having to take care of something physically is/was all part of the experience that made it seem more valuable. Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying all the Rush vids I put up.

Nice upload. There is some live Power Windows tour footage there that was shot so it exists *somewhere*! I wonder if that was shot by MTV or some local news? That tour would be great to have a Pro-Shot concert found and released or even if they just shot a song or two, it would make a great bonus for an official Rush DVD/Blu-ray release such as the Time Machine Release later this year or next year after the upcoming concert filming.

The watermarked stuff is all from ancient VHS tapes that I had to digitize and rip and edit, etc. Check out the 1987 Rush Hour doc on my channel among other things, I'll bet tons of Rush fans have never seen some of that stuff.

I'll replace this video too and all the others with clean copies so keep checking back.

They always alternate between a more greatest hits tour, which was the previous one R30, and ones where they get to have fun and play stuff that they like, which is this tour.
