I prefer the Rio version just because the crowd in Brazil were so incredible, 50,000 people singing to an instrumental is pretty wild, but this one is truer to the studio version up until the drum solo that is and Rush never gives a bad performance so it's all good. 😊🇨🇦
Everyone has their own opinion, and that's a good thing. However, I can't quite figure out why people prefer a certain version because of a crowd...In my humble opinion, this is a better version than Rio. Firstly, Neil has a drum solo in this one. Secondly, they are younger in this video. Also, they are much quicker here, and I love Geddy's bass, and Neil's drum kit. This is the timeframe where Rush just simply blew everyone away!
@@markb.2112Como você disse, cada um tem sua opinião... É exatamente por causa da multidão que muitos preferem a versão do Rio, pensa, é uma multidão cantando um instrumental, valorizando cada nota tocada pelo fabuloso trio, e para aquele público não importava se Rush estava mais lento ou veloz que na versão original, só importava o fato de o Rush estar em turnê aqui no Brasil, pense!
YYZ is an instrumental by one of the greatest bands in the world. YYZ is the Airport code for Toronto Airport, which is where these guys are from. Neil Peart practiced all the styles from the legendary drummers. Each of these guys appeared on so many magazine covers for their respective instruments. And if you watch Geddy perform... he does 3 or 4 things at the same time... He'll play bass, sing, keyboards, and has some foot pedals in some songs.
Best Live Performance 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. czcams.com/video/2byjJkN_nVY/video.html
If you were from Canada, you would say Y-Y-Zed. That's the way I heard Geddy announce it live in Dubuque, Iowa in February 1981, just weeks after the album came out. That was the first time I saw Rush LIVE! They added a show a few days later in La Crosse, Wisconsin and I saw them again. Later that summer, Rush was hitting the big time and added two shows in Bloomington, Minnesota and I saw both of those.... I saw Rush perform live on almost every tour since then, totaling 18 times. And...that don't even QUALIFY as a Rush superfan. Rush was my favorite band, pretty much since 1978. I gave it up later on, (1979, 1980) for the Who as they had a long history, and I saw them FIRST, but In the End (a Rush song pun) the guys in Rush are HUGE fans of the Who as well, and they honestly had as long and as fine a career. They stood proudly for pics next to Pete Townshend. So thanks to the Who, Rush has pretty much been my favorite band since 1978.
Greatest rock band of all time YYZ regional code for Toronto airport if im correct As a newbie you should check out Tom Sawyer official video and Subdivision official video and Limelight official video and the whole bunch more enjoy
YYZ is the indicator code for the Toronto International Airport and the beginning of the song is YYZ in morse code. Alex Lifeson the guitarist is also a licensed pilot and he was flying them back to Toronto when the code came on. The beat stuck with Neil and Geddy. I don't believe Neil was in a drumline at school. They weren't that popular in Canada but he started playing drums at 13 and he mentioned once that he had a very good drum teacher. Both Alex and Geddy started playing guitar at 13 as well. Geddy started on guitar then switched to base. The guys were always happy to see YYZ on their luggage as it meant they were heading home to their families. Cheers
YYZ Is bilingual, either American or British pronunciations work. International code for Toronto's international airport inspired a rhythm, the man airport named in honour of inspired a nation.
He likes the sound of his own voice, a lot like the rest of the reactors on CZcams. It's all about him after all. why do you think he has this channel? Self Promotion is the oldest profession, not Prostitution... Truth!

Glad I saw them a few times. I should've seen them every time they came to Dallas. I could kick myself for that. Three of the best ever!

I saw them on tour, around this time in Detroit. It was amazing.

Awesome Rush Reaction! 🥰🐰

This was my first Rush concert.
That's middle Neil. For young Neil check out Fly By Night or La Villa Strangiato.
Hey my young friend YYZ is the airport code for Toronto Ontario Canada!
YYZ is the indicator code for the Toronto International Airport and the beginning of the song is YYZ in morse code. Alex Lifeson the guitarist is also a licensed pilot and he was flying them back to Toronto when the code came on. The beat stuck with Neil and Geddy.

This is the best version, much better than Rio, couldn't give a shit about the crowd, the band is what matters.
RIO or not watching
You picked the wrong live video. Watch YYZ in Rio instead.
Although wrong Its not too bad. i agree with Rio though
Do you ever stop talking mate?
Reaction videos are about reacting in a natural manner; That gets captured just fine here.
