😢😢😢😅 😊BN😊. N.

The encore medley was kind-of cheap...

Agree. The álbuns have great songwriting with catchy songs and great lyrics. I personally like more the Presto and later albums

Presto is in my top 5 favorite Rush albums.

I've been having nightly listens of Presto lately and HYF, so much energy in these albums

Seeing your comment now just broke my heart. RUSH forever 🙏

Únicos! Rush vive !

Just like Zeppelin 👍 🕉

It did.

As much as I will miss Neil, I hope Rush still plays a few more shows. Honestly, they are the greatest band ever.

I agree. Presto is an underrated album, imo. Everybody shits on it but I think it’s really good.

@@nickavenoso7851 .I really love Presto....It's one of my all time favorites!!!

@@2ToyBoys Yeah, for some reason a lot of people shit on it, because it’s more poppier and has a thin mix. But, that doesn’t really bother me, because the instrumentation on this album is just incredible, and Neil’s lyrics are incredible as well.

@@2ToyBoys Presto is definetely in my top 5 Rush albums

@@nickavenoso7851 I think it sounds really modern......even now....

@@maziu27 🤔🤔🤔🤔UMMM,TRY TO KEEP UP.ALL YOU HAFTA DO IS PREREAD!

Being into Rush since 74 ! Why they so good year after year ??? Can't figure it ...

The greatest

And 2 hours before he did this he rode his BMW motorcycle 300 miles to get to the show and changed the oil... Come on.. And we accept today's BS?? Losers go home and eat a bullet

He was indeed unusually reserved for a guy who is considered to have been one of the best rock drummers that ever lived... but his drum kit... now that wasn't humble lol. But his wide range of styles, often within the same song, genuinely commanded the equipment, it wasn't just for show. In fact, he rarely brought to the stage the full kit he used in studio. One rare chance we had to see the full Monty was when he performed on Letterman.

He’s kinda an extreme at that imo. But if he feels that way then so be it. Fans of pop groups are sometimes so toxic and intrusive.

He's a very funny guy in general. Yeah, a bit of a ham. Wish I had a hairstyle like he's got, very 80s Hybrid. Presto seems to have gotten a lot of flak for whatever reason. But I love THIS song. Its pretty straight ahead for Rush, Neil is playing with a lot of rock power on this one, a more simple drum attack. Its all good.

Superconduc-TRRRRRRRR!

The album got flak because I believe it was thinnish sounding, like GUP was. Nowadays, tho..forget it. The fans can beef it up pretty easy,...but carefully...respectfully.

Is Geddy the blonde fellow? He's not doing very much, it looks very suspicious...

j freed Idk if you’re joking but no that blonde guy is Alex Lifeson

(that blonde guy) plays guitars, mandolin, moog taurus bass pedals, and midi controller pedals to trigger digital samples, and sings harmony....but other than that, nah he's not doing much...hahaha

He is the reason they were able to explore so many different levels of diversity, but they still rocked before Geddy incorporated those instruments.

@@j_freed, go back to your boy bands.

Thanks!!! I'm always happy memories of people who were at RUSH concerts many years ago :) Good luck!!!

yeah, I was 16 when I saw this in Cleveland and somewhat into Rush. Got BLOWN AWAY that night. LOVE that it is out here. Many shows since.

I was there, too, and we're roughly the same age. Very cool

I was there as well. 20 years old at the time. I had gotten fired from a crummy job at Meijer that same day. Things picked from here on out. :)

I was also there, was to the rear of the palace.had just gotten married and the wife did not want to go...she now regrets it. when they played subdivisions the place vibrated, you could feel the power the put out, a very incredible and loud show

08/11/24: OK. By fiat, you're wrong.

that's crazy Seneca Guns.....as your story line went along I realized I must have done that too...with Rush and many others.....tough choice, lol... 55 chevy or Rush...bam Rush it is, 15 in 75 yep, we were much alike! I must have listened to Fly By Night (headphones) layin in bed on school nights, till 3am a hundred times, just the way it was....

Working Man did for me in '74, my brother made a metal cassette tape copy from a friend of his Master vinyl. I loved Finding My Way and don't get me started on 2112 … Lol

Man... you're about a year ahead of this album's release... I was there, too.

@@elbee5191 FYI 'Rush" released 3/1/74 (recorded with John Rutsey on drums!) "Fly by Night" released 2/15/75 "Caress of Steel" released 9/24/75 "2112" released 4/1/76 "A Farewell to Kings" released 9/1/77

Yeah right , All the world's a stage was released in '76.

I made many road trips and flew to see them too. RUSH fans are one of a kind and RUSH will never be replaced...

T Chow Yep.... I pawned my guitar and drove 11 hours one way to see them. As soon as the concert was over I drove 11 hours back and went straight in to work that morning. No joke.... three of us did exactly that.

Where in Canada??

That's awesome 👍

My first show too. Wow, man....15 hours? That's dedication!

Me too buddy, and I couldn't have said it better!

I'd say Neil's prime was probably around 1974-2015

@@superslayerguy Not sure when Tect for Echo came out but to me that was high point for Neil's drumming . I just love that whole album.

I never saw a show of theirs (granted, only managed to get to 8 of them) where they DIDN'T "lay it down". Then pick it back up and stick it to the wall. And lay it down again. If there was ever a bad Rush concert, I've never heard of it.

@@felsinferguson1125 Well said.. I swat them several times.. The last time was on my 50 birthday in Calgary at their last tour. Inspiring band and the huge part of my the soundtrack of my life.

My sister took her own life when I was young. That song makes me think of her and understand her a bit more.

yes, three weary travelers

Yes he could have been and was admired as a man, not just possibly the best progressive rock drummer of all time. In death though it seems who the person was is amplified many times over - resonation. Then you can fully feel the impact that someone had or has. Surely you are punched in the face when you heard the news. Double whammy when Eddie Van Halen passed too. These guys are innovators, artists and in their own right, geniuses. Love how it's the arts that truly inspire us more than something AI. The reason is that we have hearts, we are mortal and AI just doesn't care.

Best band ever

I am 76 years old and still listening to Rush

Looks incredible even at 0,5 playback speed.

The power and speed + precision is incredible.

0:10 - 101:13.....HOLY SHIT NEIL !!! Its been a long ride, it was a privilege to have caught it a very early age. RIP Professor... Be with Selena and Jaqueline again

it's like a triple ending! So great!

Phenomenal

Rush in Rio is really really good too. Also includes a documentary on the band.

Love it! Thanks for the smile in this time of mourning.

Resonate In Percussion.... :)

Nice pun

Hope they release some concerts as live albums, like they did with AFTK, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, even though those were 40th anniversary, you get my point 😂

Tammi Davidson catch the spirit catch a fish! Love the Rocking Rabbits too!

My Rebuilt Life thanks for posting this. Saw them same tour in Seattle. Thy had the rabbit coming out of the hat stage prop.

😪😪😪

My Rebuilt Life So Sorry for your loss 😢 RIP NEIL and your Mom 🙏❤️

My first Rush show as well....nice to meet a fellow audience member.

@@kingsethos5108 Shared this space in time, sight and sound unaware of each others existence until a random moment on a thing called the "internet" some 30 years later. Too cool man.

They prepped it but never played it on the Presto tour. Very surprising. When they finally performed it on the Time Machine tour it was a spectacular moment and the best performance of the night when I saw them in LA.

My first of many Rush concerts, drove up from Columbia. The Old Municipal Auditorium was a very cramped venue, stood on the floor in general admission. Sorry about your wife. Cancer sucks.

@@PatrickUTubeify Thanks Patrick. Hope you and yours are doing well during this Coronavirus pandemic. Dang. Never thought I'd ever have to wish someone well through something as apocalyptic as a pandemic.

I'm not a hardcore fan of Rush per se but my ex-wife was and in the late 80's she dragged me to see Rush in Anaheim, CA and that night I became a hardcore fan of Rush live. I had never seen anything like that before, not from Van Halen, Boston, Aerosmith or any other show I had attended prior. Rush shows are very efficient, for lack of a better word, everything was so well organized the show went on without a glitch, which is rare. The band delivered the goods swiftly, from the opening with Tom Sawyer and the end with excerpts from 2112. Sound quality was stellar for an arena, I had seen Van Halen at that same venue some years before and the sound had been horrible. Rush sound engineers had planned this well in advance (I assume) with large acoustic panels strategically positioned to kill resonance and echo. I can still feel my bones vibrating as we were pounded with generous bass and kick-drum thumps. Speaking of drums I had never seen such a huge kit before, nor had I ever heard a better drummer, still haven't to this day. He really used all of his equipment both acoustic and electronic to effect. Best live performance I have ever attended, and by far.

Kaveman Karl Cool that your wife is a hardcore fan of Rush! Rare bird. My wife would never listen to their music, nor attend one of their shows. I guess I shoulda asked that before proposing? LOL. I’ve always found the sound mix to be good at a Rush show. I believe Presto was the tour where they lowered the “mosquito netting” screens on all sides of the stage and flashed or projected lights onto the screens. I found that to be more odd than effective.

@@PatrickUTubeify She's a spirited girl that's for sure. She thought they had perfect rhythm for her dancing.

By playing their balls off.

@@x00p3 using copious amounts of backing tracks including vocals didn't hurt either.

fantastic story, Geddy is so cool

Dallas Barr my first ever concert was Rush in ‘85. I was 16. Pretty good choice for your first show huh? 😀

@@adamsasso1 yes yes yes!

Ahhh, those memories... I'm "crying" and I'm happy with you. Good luck in life for you and your family!!!

This is a great version, my favorite is the 'Rush In Rio' version, give that a listen as well.

totally agree best version anywhere

Marry me.

Not bad???? One of the greatest bands ever if not the greatest.

They'll only ever recognize him when he passes I fear

herrkaliyuga with rush being my fav of all time, I am a massive Killing Joke fan and I totally agree, Lifeson and Geordie are fuckin awesome!

I see a lot of similarities in how they use arpeggios to colour the sound

Thank you for the Geordie Walker reference..he and Alex are in my top 5!

I salute your salute sir!

Judith Goldfine I get home from work everyday and potter around the house, garage, backyard...where ever with earphones on and drift away in their music, shutting the world out. Being fairly new to Rush (Australia didn't play many Rush songs) and in my mid 50s, I have the luxury of listening to all their songs as if they are new, but getting them in one hit. Neil's passing hit me hard as I was getting right into them....pretty much all I listen to atm.

Was at that very same Cincy show, my first big concert.

I was at that show too. It was my 4th time seeing them.

Cleveland and Rush have some common history, that's where they became famous overnight thanks to a female DJ who deviated from her playlist and put them on the air. You would think that such an event should have happened in Toronto but fate decided otherwise. In the mid-70's I was living in Lansing, MI and the closest very large city was Toronto (Detroit was farthest) so as a young teen I listened to rock stations from Toronto and found them to be somewhat conservative in their choice songs. Neil Young, The Guess Who, BTO, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Steppenwolf and several other Canadian outfits got a lot of airplay interspersed with US and UK bands but Rush was nowhere on their radar. Their loss, Cleveland's gain.

How seriously fucking good it would've been back then; AC/DC during the FTATR era...Ozzy with Randy...and the ridiculous heights of Rush in their prime...I don't think I could've taken it. Consider yourself so lucky to have experienced that period in time.

Was that when Y&T opened for them?

I'm probably a bit younger than you, so my taste is a little different. My favorite trio is Motorhead. Rush is the truth, tho. They were bad to the bone.

If you like trios , Canadian trios, that play complex music, you can't do better than no means no. Besides rush that is.

I live in Topeka Andy and saw both shows also. 2 of the 15 times I was lucky enough to see them. My favorite band! Neil was always my musical hero as I am a drummer. R.I.P. Professor!

@@kimgay6290 I'm impressed not too many girls actually went to Rush

@@kimgay6290 I saw them in 1984 at the Philadelphia spectrum that was pretty awesome too for Grace under pressure

@@kimgay6290 I'm impressed Kim how old are you by the way there are not too many women Rush fans and then to be a drummer yourself that's impressive

I like it. He switched to Paul Reed Smith for the next tour.

Just bought one. It is incredible. The action is amazing and the single coils scream, neck like butter.

@@patrickthometz6365 That's cool, man. They gotta be pretty rare now.

@@funkster007 yeah I had my buddy who is a great luthier with his eye out for me for a few years. He found one. I cannot put it down.

I was there mate, a wonderful band. One of the greatest of all time.
