The reason Neil has such a large drum kit is because he plays all of it.

The best drummer of all time. RIP Neil Peart.

Neal is constantly changing his timing in this song. Best drumming any song ever.

Imagine being in a band, recording that, and being disappointed with how it turned out. They are crazy talented.

BEST BAND EVER, no question. 3 that sound like 5. Not a better drummer , bassist or guitarist to play the big sound they produce.Canada's pride. WE ARE RUSH ARMY!!

Someone asked Eddy VanHalen what's it like being the best guitarist in the world. He said "ask Alex Lifeson ".

So glad you did this. "Tom Sawyer" is still one of the greatest songs ever. I first heard it in 1981 and was completely fucking blown-away. This is truly THE quintessential Rush song.

Rush is the reason all my musician friends in high school wanted to be drummers and bass players

The 3 of them, having the talent they have, is so rare and special. Neil Peart RIP - the Professor. If Neil Peart isn't your favorite drummer, he is your favorite drummers favorite drummer.

Actually this song isn’t”lite work” for Neil. He has stated that Tom Sawyer is one of his most difficult to play😊

What is Rush known for? (1) Musical integrity, after three records company asks for radio hits and they deliver a 20 minuted power/prog masterpiece in 2112. (2) Masterful skills and musicianship which is obvious. (3) Intelligent thoughtful and deep lyrics, no simplistic rock/pop songs here (4) Musical Change Ups: Rush changes with the decade, whatever they wanted to do (5) 40 years of quality work from three friends (RIP Neil)

Alex Lifeson..........so underrated!!!!!!!!!!! My top 3 all time!!!!!!!

You are correct, Moving Pictures was recorded at Le Studio in (I think) Quebec. I may be wrong. Sadly, Le Studio is gone, having been abandoned. There is a video floating around here with Neil walking around the ruins

The site of this recording was in Morin Heights, Quebec, about 70 miles north of Montreal in the Laurentian Mountains in a place called “Le Studio” which burned down in the 80’s. I lived there before the fire.

This was the album they were making when we were playing in the park and heard music coming from the factories and we climbed on the dumpsters to watch in the window and saw them rocking out making the most impressive sounds we had ever heard . They saw us and came out and talked to us about hockey ( cause that's what we Canadians do 😂) we talked about the music they were making and their cars they had beautiful cars and when we were done Geddy and Alex gave us guitar picks and Neil gave us drumsticks they were so down to earth and humble. When I was older I saw them twice I had to meeting them and watching them record made me want to see them. Peace out ✌️ ☮️

Ground breaking, incredible music.

Moving Pictures was indeed recorded in Canada.."Le Studio" in Morin-Heights, Quebec....They have recorded many classic albums there

Imagine being 9 years old when this song came out and trying to play this on a guitar. Fort Bragg N.C.

Love this song. Love the band. Neil Peart was 🔥RIP. All superb musicians.

Saw them live in Edmonton in 2003. As good live as they are in the studio. RIP Neal Peart. One of the best.

The studio was in Quebec - Le Studio was torn down in 2020

I saw the Moving Pictures concert and is to this day one of the best concerts I ever saw. No back up musicians, just the 3 of them. Sounded as good as the studio version. Mind was blown.

In Concert is Unbelievable.

Canadian bands back in the day were where it's at -- Americans loved Garth brooks and Cindy lauper and we loved our Chilliwack, rush and BTO

I live 15 minutes from that place. I have a few pieces of broken glass from that giant glass separation between where they are and the mixing console, you can see it right behind Alex. I also have some pieces of parquetry flooring exactly from where Neil's drums are sitting in this video, and some cedar shingles from the exterior siding that you see at the very end of the video. So glad I have these artifacts of rock'n roll history.

Tom Sawyer, modern day warrior, whose mind is not for rent to any God or government. He knows changes aren’t permanent, but knows Change is. 🎶🤯🎶

Back when Rush was in its infancy, one critic said Geddy Lee sounded like Mickey Mouse on helium🤣. Not only that, but if you put some green make-up on him, he'd be a dead ringer for the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz. Double🤣🤣.

This came out in 1980, maybe 79. still out standing.

The greatest 3-man band of all time

Hey guys, great videos! This album was recorded at Le Studio in Quebec. It has since been left to time, and over the years there's always a call to buy ti and get it going again. Just give it a Google!

LeStudio was in the middle of the woods in Quebec. It was state of the art when this song was recorded. There were on site living quarters so bands could go there to record and use it as a retreat and rest up and recharge in between tours. April Wine also did some recording there. It became out dated and there was a fire that burned part of the complex and it was abandoned and vandalized over the years. The mixing board actually was sold before the fire and ended up being used in a recording studio in the Chicago area for many years. There are actually some pretty interesting KZfaq videos about LeStudio.

WORKING MAN live in Cleveland. This will blow you away.

Eraserhead is probably the weirdest film ever made. It was David Lynch's cornerstone of outside creepiness. If you can't handle wierd, avoid..if you are ready for the David Lynch rabbit hole, essential. I think Alex was the eraserhead guy, I saw him wearing a button in a few stage pics, (somehow I'm not surprised) Lol...

I've had the pleasure of seeing Rush live many times - about a dozen times - and it still wasn't nearly enough. Their live shows were unbelievable. 3-hour shows, no opening band, just straight, mind-blowing rocking out by the best rock band of all time.

Hey guys. The recording studio is in Morin Heights, Quebec, which is only about a 40-minute drive from my place, north of Montreal. It was called "Le Studio", and it closed in 2003.

My favorite band and , in my book, the best rock band ever.

I'm so glad yall recognized Alex! Did you notice how he mimicked the piano, then sent it into another stratosphere!

This song was my intro to Rush. I was in grade 4 at the time. Monster track.

The video was recorded at Le Studio (later renamed Studio Morin Heights) at Studio Morin Heights, Québec

Just THREE Canadian guys rockin' out :) Peace and Love

Eraserhead is probably the most unique film in cinema history

The studio is in the province of Quebec, and it's simply called, Le Studio. It's north of Montreal, in a location called, Morin Heights. Many artists you may know have recorded there... Cat Stevens, Ritchie Havens, Chicago, The Police, the Bee Gees, Sting, Corey Hart, David Bowie, and many more!

If you're Canadian, you have to say "y, y, zed!" Lol!

Guys trust me on this. The song 2112 will change your life! It’s long but it is incredible!!

You guys said it they are the Elite, cream of the cream, top top band and deserving of the highest praise indeed

Recored at "Le Studio" in a town just north of Montreal called Morin Heights. Same studio that April Wine used for their video "I Like To Rock".

RUSH: Rock's Ultimate Superstar Heroes

That was recorded in Morin heights the world 🌎 renowned recording studio just an hour north from Montreal witch no longer exist today

Have seen them 2 times here in Sweden. Best liveband i have ever watch for sure! This video was recorded in LE STUDIO in Canada

That keyboard part leading into the solo, then Alex doubles it. Next Alex leaves to solo but Geddy fills right in on the bass with the same 7/8 pattern. Epically crafted song writing!

Recorded at Le Studio in Canada. A lot of bands recorded there ie April Wine, Police, Bee Gees, Cat Stevens, Bowie and more. Went bankrupt 2008, destroyed by suspicious fire 2017.

Xanadu - Exit Stage Left, you will never see a better live performance of an incredibly complicated song. Pay particular attention to Alex on lead guitar at the 7:28 mark when he changes from the top to the bottom neck without missing a beat. Inf%$kingcredible percussion clinic as well. La Villa Stagiatto, Limelight........so many great songs

You reacted to April Wine “Roller”. They have another song called “I Like to Rock” and the official video was also shot in this same studio.

In the Laurentiens mountains 100 miles north of Montreal, also where April Wine recorded many of their hits & albums. Rush is what they call Progressive Music band

The3 greatest in any configuration of musicians band or orchestra

Nice reaction. Working Man was Rush's first hit song off their self titled album Rush. You can do the studio version as a reaction but if you really want to blow your minds, do "Working Man" live in Cleveland. Other radio hits to get started are Limelight, Freewill, Closer to the Heart and Spirit of the Radio should get you up and running with Rush.

Great song!

When you are ready, there are a couple of Special RUSH songs that are must haves. 2112, the whole 20+ minute opus.

The Awesomeness is overwhelming. If you ever wonder how the Gods play music? Well, here you go.

Grand funk Railroad is a close second for a talented trio.

That was in Morin heights in the laurentien in the world renowned studio there in the province of Quebec just an hour from Montreal 😉👌

Thank you for playing RUSH, now, do you want to hear the song that sent them off to the next level. Even though, they are a Toronto band, like Triumph, they know, where the market is. They can make a good living in Canada, but if you really want to make a good living, go to America. In the mid to late 1970s, this song was played in Cleveland Ohio, on the radio. Cleveland loved it, adopted it, and RUSH was on its way to the stardom they desired. Have a listen> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdBlps-rx8_ToKs.html **Played in Cleveland where it all began for them. 4 years later 2015, they played Cleveland for the last time ever**. This Tom Sawyer was filmed in Quebec.

"La Villa Strangiato" should be next.

think Triumph my friends,,,,anotherCanadian power Trio!!

Also, Geddy is considered The BEST BASS guitarist, ever and to date,, As for Alex, you are absolutely correct, he is in a world and league all his own, and others to emulate. RUSH, people place Triumph, as a very close 2nd to RUSH. But RUSH set the bar for other bands to escalate to achieve. Tom Sawyer was recorded at Le Studio, Morin-Heights, Quebec, Canada.

Eraserhead was David Lynch's first film. Neil Peart was an avid sci-fi and fantasy fan.

Oh yeah he is that good 👍👍👍

for kicks and giggles on your own time, check out Foo Fighters bringing up an audience member to sing Tom Sawyer. guy did great!

*RUSH RULES!* 💜💫✌🏼🎵

All 3 are at least in the GOAT conversations on their instruments. But, that is just the starting point for Rush. Their three way musical mind meld redefined the term “tight.” For all their individual virtuosity, their music is incredibly restrained. There is no attention hogging diva in any of these three guys. As great as all three are, the one that blows me away the most is Geddy Lee. Sings, plays a ripping bass, synths with hands AND FEET. Probably the one guy most responsible for three sounding like five or six.

Growing up in Northeast Ohio in the 70's only one Radio Station would play there music in the US! WDVE Cleveland!! Rush 2112 is dedicated to that Radio Station, check out the Album Cover It's on it!!!

Back to your question , a trio as good as Rush, i would say Cream. The best drummer Ginger Baker, the best guitarist Eric Clapton and a great bassist in Jack Bruce. They were in 10 years before Rush. i love em both!!

They are so far ahead of their time, They are timeless... Rest In Power, Professor.

By the way, the snow you see is not "on the ground" but on a frozen lake. The place was, past tense' majestic. It was left in such a neglected state for the past 15 years or so that it was beyond repair. It was demolished about a year ago. It's (was) located in Morin Heights, Quebec, Canada.

I was 16 when this came out

That studio is about an hour north of montreal, in Morin Heights. It's beautiful there, they have a nice little ski hill and the best looking women in Quebec.

In canada, we also say yy zed…not zee😊

why does a good beat make your head bop 20 years to 75 years old...

All 3 members ooze talent,but Neil Pert rules on that drum kit!🥁😎Btw,to answer your question,No,no other trio packs the same punch as RUSH!🎸🎹🎙🤘

I LOVE listening to music with you guys.

I love Rush, and I love this song, but for me their greatest masterpiece is " La Villa Strangiato" another instrumental, based on some nightmares that Alex Lifeson had

I heard the very first live performance of this song, at the tail end of the Permanent Waves tour when they were airing new material to take into the Moving Pictures recording sessions. The lyrics were still a bit different from the recorded version, but it got immediate audience response from that opening synth sweep to the crazy drum fills. After hearing it, I just kept counting the days until the album came out.

Neil Peart’s double bass drum kit.. nobody see’s how fast the foot pedals are going off when you watch this band but you definitely hear it.. you wonder… “How’s he doing this sound”? That was always fun to watch his solo’s in concert.. so this is what a feel good jam looks like! 🥰😊😁

Discovered you guys today, discovering my all time greatest piece of musical art, a good day, you guys are awesome!

💜💜💜💜

💥THE GIRL WHO LISTENED TO RUSH💥 From the back of the stadium She’s easy to see Standing up at the stage In her Starman tee From Anthem to Limelight To YYZ She’s the girl who listened to Rush And all of the rockers And all of the heshers Well they dreamed of the day That they might get her And drive her away In a Red Barchetta She’s the girl who listened to Rush Philosophers and ploughmen They can’t resist her call They cannot choose Not to decide So they've got no choice at all They've gotta love her No she doesn’t say "Pert" And she doesn’t say "Part" Yeah, she knows it’s "Neil Peert" ‘Cause he’s close to her heart Say a prayer for John Rutsey He was there at the start She’s the girl who listened to Rush Philosophers and ploughmen They can’t resist her call They cannot choose Not to decide So they've got no choice at all They've gotta love her Why don’t girls ever listen to Rush? (X a lot) But she listened to Rush! The blacksmith and the artist They can’t resist her call You cannot choose Not to decide So you’ve got no choice at all No you’ve got no choice at all You’ve gotta love her -- Nerf Herder

Just to give you an idea of Neil Peart drums, here is a solo, from one of the tour gigs they did. Neil was also the writer of all RUSH songs. The sounds you hear are NOT from anywhere else but his kit. They are computer-assisted for sounds and such and he changes on the fly by foot pedals... > kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gr2CgLJ7tqrNfIk.html **On a side note, Neil would often drive off for long times to regenerate, so to speak. His life was turned upside down with the loss of his daughter in a car crash in 1997, and his common-law wife, who passed away soon after from cancer. Neil passed away on January 7th, 2020 from brain cancer. RUSH has not toured since, they stopped in 2015 with their last concert where it all began for them in Cleveland Ohio.

Best song ever!!🥰

That recording studio is in rural Quebec

You need to see the Best Live Performance of all time RUSH - Xanadu - Live In Montreal 1981 (2021 HD Remaster 60fps) Alex Lifeson - 6 string guitar, 12 string guitar, pedal synthesizer, volume pedal; Geddy Lee - Vocals, bass guitar, 6 string guitar, foot pedal synthesizer, electric piano/synthesizer; Neil Peart - Lyrics, Drums, orchestra bells, tubular bells, wind chimes, crotales, timbales, timpani, gong, temple blocks, bell tree, triangle, and melodic cowbells. Based on Kubla Khan (Xanadu) by Samuel Taylor Coleridge Coleridge composed his poem, ‘Kubla Khan’, in a state of semi-conscious trance either in the autumn of 1797 or the spring of 1798 and published in 1816. The whole poem is pervaded by an atmosphere of dream and remains in the form of a vision. The vision embodied in Kubla Khan was inspired by the perusal of the travel book, Purchas His Pilgrimage. Coleridge had taken a dose of opium as an anodyne, and his eyes closed upon the line in the book, “At Zanadu Kubla Khan built a pleasure palace.” But this opened his creative vision, and the poem of about 200 lines was composed in this state of waking dream. On being fully awake, he wrote the poem down. The theme of the poem is unimportant. It describes the palace built by Kubla Khan, the grandson of Chengis Khan, the great rule of central Asia. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aMipna2cs8XSho0.html

You guys should check out Working man, Live version from Cleveland. Enjoying your channel, CHEERS from 🇨🇦

You should show Ryan Niel Peart's drum solo live in Frankfurt. The thing that Ryan doesn't understand with prog rock is that these bands are famous for their musicianship, not their clothing image. Bands like Kiss are known for their make up not their musical prowess. Bands like Pink Floyd, Yes and Rush are loved for their music, not their fashion sense. The money they earn is not why they do it. Money is an incidental by-product of what they do and they earn that money by working damn hard to perfect their art, not by dressing in designer clothing and learning dance routines. Believe me, I've been a drummer in rock bands for over 50 years and I know how much work goes into perfecting every little detail and going over the same song over and over until you're either sick of it, your hands are bleeding or you collapse. ✌️♥️🇬🇧

You would love "Closer to the heart"!

The only other Trio, who were so short lived together, that had comparable Elite musicians in it was Cream.

Check out another Canadian Great Neil Young = Old Man Live at the BBC - Pure Talent

Yes. Start with Tom Sawyer, like you would start learning about Yes with “Roundabout”. Perhaps Limelight or Spirit of Radio next.

We THE GREAT WHITE NORTH, home of the 3 MAN BANDS

This is the same studio April wine recorded the video for I like to rock

9:30 actually Tom Sawyer isn't easy drumming, even for Neil, because his right hand is running nonstop 16th notes on the cymbals, which means all the other drumming... is his left hand. "Eraser Head" is David Lynch's 1st film, at the time it was Alex's favorite movie. If you like strange avant-garde B&W it's good.

R.I.P. Niel!
