🤪 YYZ Live in Rio or we RIOT! 🤗 I know people. ☺️ We'll do it too! 😜 Give the people's what they want! WE WANT YYZ LIVE IN RIO! 😌 Won't take no for an answer..... 🤭😁🥰🐰
This is currently one of my most favourite pastimes: watching an obviously knowledgeable and talented player and lover of music react with great appreciation to the music I have enjoyed for 42 years and counting. Thanks very much for taking this journey with us, CB. PS - The reggae riffs found in Rush's early '80's albums were very much inspired by the work of the Police from the same period - so if you don't know the Police, they should be added to your future reactions list.
You are now hereby authorized (no ... obligated!) to listen to the other two songs from Rush's 1982 album, Signals: Analog Kid New World Man You're welcome! 😊
So eventually someone in this group of Rush fans is gonna tell you the fact that we even got Geddy Lee in this lifetime is truly amazing he released a book and talks all about his life with the band and with his family and both of his parents were in the concentration camp that's where they met and got married Eventually For the fact that we got to have geddy lee in our lifetime to me is like an utter miracle..You're probably ready for LA Villa Strangiato
You’re getting the RUSH fever! lol lol Luv it when reactors see how deep this band is an how they take you through a song, an album… a career Best 3 piece in history an I’ll bet you will never see a 3 piece like this again
I know it's hard to know when to do a live or studio version, but this one is better on the studio cut. This one seems a little slower than the studio version.
As a drummer introduced to "prog" rock when my years of existence was still in single diget years I was drawn to Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd ,music my brother ( 10 yrs my senior) listen to plus he had a drumset setup in the formal room of the house where was not intended for children he and I were allowed permission to enter for access to the kit.I influenced my said brother also played the kit, young enough to still possess a sponge like brain I absorbed all of this with J. Bonham teaching me how to "talk" after disruptions in that paradigm I discovered Rush and Neil Peart and like Rosetta Stone I learned a new way to talk.Lovung your insight into what I consider the 4 Cs' of any art medium The creativity of composition and the clarity of complication.
Great reaction Church Boy!! Every time I see a new Rush reaction from you, I note the song, and every time I say "he's going to LOVE the bass lines in this!!" THAT is what you get with Rush - amazing, groovy bass, atmospheric guitars, with a shred wherever needed (honestly, Alex Lifeson is the KING of atmosphere to me! Always plays exactly what the song needs!), and killer drumming from Neil (RIP) - not always crazy, but with tasteful fills & complexity - again, always in service of the song! You're truly beginning to see - 3 monumental, expert level musicians, in one band, together for 40 years, making some of the greatest progressive/hard/synth rock we've ever known! Three humble dudes from Canada, eh! Cheers!
You have a great ear; not because you love Rush (although that helps!), but just how quickly you pick up on what is happening in their music - that's not easy.
From one bass player to the other, please please please check out the song Secret Touch from this same show, Snakes and Arrows Live. It's a Geddy flamenco-style festival and would LOVE to get your take on it!!!!!!!
This song and Analog Kid are my two favorite tracks from Signals which came out in 1982. My very first concert was that tour in 82 when I was 15 years old Ticket price? $12.50
You might enjoy the Drumeo video of Brandon Toews playing 175 RUSH songs in 25 minutes. He absolutely KILLS the drums on it. The video is Drumming To Every RUSH Song Ever! It is AMAZING!
I love your reactions. I always learn something new, which is a feat considering I’ve listened to Rush for 40+ years! Thank you so much for reigniting my love for my favorite band!
Take it to church - Great reaction! RUSH live usually sounds like the studio version. But in this case, they are very different. On the album track, Neil's drum fills are crazy (never the same twice), the tempo is faster and the mix is different. The bass got washed out on this recording. As many have suggested, you may want to go back and listen to the studio version. (I can't believe I'm saying this...90% of the time the live version is the go-to. Thank you for playing my recommendation, Church Boy 💕 I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Alex in song solos are so unique and creative. I don't know how to describe it, most guitarist try to make their solos sound sweet and pretty to the ear, with Alex his solos are very unexpected, has tension but still melodic to the ear. I was hoping you did the studio version of this song. I find the audio mix of this video to be a bit muddy. In the studio recording, you hear every detail of Geddy's melodic bass line and Neil's finesse on the hi-hat and drums. However, the video version the ending of the song is extended. More Rush is always a good thing😂🤣😂
One of my fav Rush songs! It has a great groove and Alex's solo is 🔥. You mentioned Muscle cars. Check out Red Barchetta from Exit Stage Left. Also, Dinner with Rush to see what a brotherhood these guys have. Cheers
Greatest band of all time lyrically and musically all 3 are virtuosos on their instruments!!!! Any Rush is good Rush try Xanadu live 81,big money, lock and key turn the page mission, marathon lock and key half the world, driven, Animate, cut to the chase, roll the bones, dreamline, bravado, mystic rythems, vital signs, subdivisions Tom Sawyer, red barchette, YYZ live in Rio,,,,,,,,,,,,i could go on and on and on and on and on, love the review !! Keep the Rush coming
So happy you did Digital Man live over studio version. This is top 3 Alex solo IMO. There was a Neil drum cam video of this song that was incredible but has been taken down☹️. Love how you picked up on slow down before explosive solo. Keep up the great reactions! See you in Rio for YYZ!
A reactor who's a bass player aaand vibin on Rush?! I'm here for that. Long, long time Rush fan here and fellow bassist shoutin at you from Toronto. Subscribed.
You have to listen to "The Camera Eye", Neil wrote and compared the cities of New York and London, great lyrics, drums, guitar, and base solos, all in all a great song.
Vapor Trails was Rush’s first album produced after Neil Peart’s five year personal hiatus following the death of his wife and daughter. One Little Victory sums up Neil’s never give up attitude.
Speaking of muscle cars, when this song was only two years old, I regularly played it loudly as my friends and I cruised up and down the main drag in our suburban city an hour's drive west of Toronto. We did it in my very first car - a midnight blue '75 Camaro with a transplanted 350cc Chevy truck engine that sported a Holley Carb, 4-bolt main, headers, shift kit, and Cragar SST dish mags. All of which is to safe that I can appreciate your choice of analogy!
I'm a fellow bass player. Geddy is my favorite bassist and Rush is my favorite band. But my next favorite bassist is Chris Squire from Yes. You should give them a listen as well.
As for songs I would go with Heart of the Sunrise or Starship Trooper. Geddy played bass (Chris had passed by then) when Yes was admitted to the rock hall of fame. Geddy has said that Yes is the ONLY band that he and Alex would wait in line overnight to see.
That boogie line was the first thing I learned on bass when I was 12. In the key of C. Was great to see your delight in hearing it. Agree with some of the other comments here. You'd really enjoy Analog Kid. Also would love to see your reaction to Red Barchetta & New World Man. You would dig them all!
You have to check out Show don’t tell, The big money and, a lot older song, Circumstances. These are 3 amazing bass songs that are simply magical and out of this world. Nasty, nasty grooves brother. Check one of those next. You won’t regret it I promise 😂😂😂
Thanks for this reaction. Great demo's on the bass. I appreciate when you pick up the bass and emphasize a nuance you found in the song. I am really enjoying your Rush reactions. There is a great companion track to Digital Man, its called The Analog Kid. Check that one out when you have some time.
It seems like Red Barchetta should be next, the R30 live version has a great bass outro as expected, secret touch, or Alien Shore would be some newer material I would also recommend cheers and Rush on!
That's a tough one for me, especially this late in their career. It is my least favourite song on Signals. Rush's "ok" songs are still better than most's band's top songs but very occasionally a song doesn't reach greatness status. That's sadly one of them for me. Still good but it is not in the regular rotation. For favourite bass line I would go to so many other songs like Show don't tell, Circumstances,, Big money, Marathon, Red lenses, Analog Kid, Ceiling unlimited, most of Moving pictures and soooo many others. He's just awesome all the time. Never a bad note !!!
great reaction as a fellow brother in the lord, i don't if that gets me ahead of the line, or buying u that bass does it, lol but try hemispheres sometime studio version, just be thrilled how much bass in your face ur going to get the entire song, but all of the music and lyrics is a short 18 minute masterpiece for its time in the seventies, and always will be. great ear and nice playing that groove God bless
Wish you would have done the studio version. This tempo is much slower here in this vid and there are parts edited out from studio track in this live performance.
I love this tune, but this performance is a bit slower and doesn't groove as well as the original. Just my opinion. Still rocks :) Thanks for sharing your Rush journey with us!
The Analog Kid grows up to be a Digital Man! 🤔 Who eventually becomes a New World Man! 🤗 3 of my favorite Rush songs! 🥰🐰
Totally agree and I don't think everyone one makes the connection, unless like me, you are that Analog Kid striving to be a New World man.
@@Scottracine68 ☺️ #Facts
And they all need to handled with "Kid Gloves"
I love the irony of analog being older and digital being newer, yet the analog is a kid and the digital is a man.
@@robertcabansag5222 😏 I see what you did there.... 🥰🐰

Torches and pitchforks at the ready, girl! Just say the word! 😁
I thought he's already done that one. Maybe he did the album version. I'm not sure. Check his video list.
Hold on a damn minute...I'm trying to get him to do "The Warning" band....beginning with "Evolve" song.
@@Lemmingadventures 😜 We want the Live in Rio version too! 🤪 Or We RIOT!! 🥰🐰
Yeah, I figured. He did review the studio version. I want Cygnus books 1&2.
This is currently one of my most favourite pastimes: watching an obviously knowledgeable and talented player and lover of music react with great appreciation to the music I have enjoyed for 42 years and counting.

Yup, Analog Kid is next. Alex goes OFF! Shreds it.
You are now hereby authorized (no ... obligated!) to listen to the other two songs from Rush's 1982 album, Signals:
Analog Kid
New World Man
You're welcome!
😊
One of the best bass lines ever! Great song!❤ Studio version is a must hear for sure. Makes my fingers hurt just listening to it 😅.
🤣🤣
second that call for the studio version, awesome production
This is such a good version of Digital Man.
So eventually someone in this group of Rush fans is gonna tell you the fact that we even got Geddy Lee in this lifetime is truly amazing he released a book and talks all about his life with the band and with his family and both of his parents were in the concentration camp that's where they met and got married Eventually For the fact that we got to have geddy lee in our lifetime to me is like an utter miracle..You're probably ready for LA Villa Strangiato
Dinner with RUSH! Please react to them eating food.
Rush is one of a few bands that are just as good live as they are on the studio version.
There, I said it. 😁
You’re getting the RUSH fever! lol lol
Luv it when reactors see how deep this band is an how they take you through a song, an album… a career
Best 3 piece in history an I’ll bet you will never see a 3 piece like this again
I know it's hard to know when to do a live or studio version, but this one is better on the studio cut. This one seems a little slower than the studio version.
Listen to studio tracks then the live version after to see how closely they replicate their songs. Just a suggestion
Now that you've done digital man. You gotta do the Analog kid .
Remember, At the end of the song, Geddy is playing the keyboard with is feet at the same time
Every Rush fan ever..on almost every song..."That was Fire right there!"
All 3 always play in service to the song.
Leave that thing alone. Incredible bass line!!!!
No question why Rush is the greatest 3 piece rock band in rock history

While you’re on this tour, check out “Natural Science” if you haven’t yet.
Everything live rush does for me is better than the studio version.
Just my opinion
Cheers
2112! Fountain of Lamneth...the whole thing! Cygnus X-1! I'm enjoying the reactions.
I love your reactions. I always learn something new, which is a feat considering I’ve listened to Rush for 40+ years! Thank you so much for reigniting my love for my favorite band!
Thanks again for the Rush and your takes on the bass! Don't forget Witch Hunt (studio) or Vital Signs down the road ;)

I could listen to you talk about Rush all day long
When it comes to Signals, as much as I like Digital Man I'm more of an Analog Kid myself. 😊
Limelight studio version is essential. Maybe the most well known Rush song besides Tom Sawyer
You need to check out Neil Peart play Cottontail with the Buddy Rich tribute band. He kills it!
Alex in song solos are so unique and creative. I don't know how to describe it, most guitarist try to make their solos sound sweet and pretty to the ear, with Alex his solos are very unexpected, has tension but still melodic to the ear.
I was hoping you did the studio version of this song. I find the audio mix of this video to be a bit muddy.

More Rush is always a good thing😂🤣😂
Legend has it that the last note Alex hit stopped working on that guitar after that solo. He drained all of the sound it could produce.😆
Can't ever slag on live Rush, but for this song, you gotta hear the recorded version. You can hear the bass so much better
The Weapon live ‘84 Grace Under Pressure concert film 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my fav Rush songs! It has a great groove and Alex's solo is 🔥.
You mentioned Muscle cars.
Check out Red Barchetta from Exit Stage Left.
Also, Dinner with Rush to see what a brotherhood these guys have.
Cheers
Play the studio version. You'll really heard the bass.
Great song from signals, thankyou for the live version. Cheers.
Greatest band of all time lyrically and musically all 3 are virtuosos on their instruments!!!! Any Rush is good Rush try Xanadu live 81,big money, lock and key turn the page mission, marathon lock and key half the world, driven, Animate, cut to the chase, roll the bones, dreamline, bravado, mystic rythems, vital signs, subdivisions Tom Sawyer, red barchette, YYZ live in Rio,,,,,,,,,,,,i could go on and on and on and on and on, love the review !! Keep the Rush coming
Check out Rush’s live performance of the song “Driven” from their Rush In Rio live DVD!
So happy you did Digital Man live over studio version. This is top 3 Alex solo IMO. There was a Neil drum cam video of this song that was incredible but has been taken down☹️.
Love how you picked up on slow down before explosive solo. Keep up the great reactions!
See you in Rio for YYZ!
Man you have a great ear and I learn from every Rush reaction you do. Thanks Brother in Christ.
I saw them on that Snakes & Arrows twice in Cincinnati in June & again when they returned in September.
Rush army on duty! Try Red Barchetta next time!

listen to the studio version offline.
Personally I'd recommend the studio version - best version by far IMHO
Geddy abuses his bass so much, The strength in his right hand is insane, two and half hours of playing live and he is still going strong.
Driven live in Rio.Great song,great bass solo👍
Gotta do "What you're doing" from their album "all the world's a stage". Guaranteed to get you movin'.
Definitely check out the companion song, The Analog Kid. Alex shreds a killer solo in that one too. Cheers!

You make me wanna join your church if you play those bass lines....
As always, thank you for your reaction. For another great bass line, check out Red Barchetta. God bless!

This song is strongly influenced by the Police! In fact, Neil became good friends with their drummer!
The 2nd song of the show - opened with Limelight and flowed seamlessly into Digital Man
Great reaction....pull the lyrics up on your phone then you won't miss anything❤🇨🇦
Apparently thats a "ska" influence. Who knew.
You need to watch the analog kid!!
YEsssssssss! My favorite Geddy bass line! Thanks for reacting to it. Be sure to check out the studio version, too!
Geddy is always interesting to listen to. Never boring.
Thanks for this reaction. Great demo's on the bass. I appreciate when you pick up the bass and emphasize a nuance you found in the song.
I am really enjoying your Rush reactions.
There is a great companion track to Digital Man, its called The Analog Kid. Check that one out when you have some time.
Loving your Rush journey...Keep it up!
If you're interested in the band" they made a movie beyond the lighted stage" check that on your personal time😎😎
Loved that. Nice job!!!! ❤️
Too support you getting a Geddy Lee bass can we all chip in 5 -10 bucks to help you hit that goal? Your content is worth so much more than this.
Try YYZ live in Rio!
You play very well.
It seems like Red Barchetta should be next, the R30 live version has a great bass outro as expected, secret touch, or Alien Shore would be some newer material I would also recommend cheers and Rush on!
He's got a date with Fate in a black sedan.
I've really been enjoying watching your Rush journey 👍 Keep em coming
Alex, Geddy & Neil are the only real holy trinity in my opinion ! That's my church !
Love your Rush reactions!! Check out the studio version of “The Garden”.
That's a tough one for me, especially this late in their career. It is my least favourite song on Signals. Rush's "ok" songs are still better than most's band's top songs but very occasionally a song doesn't reach greatness status. That's sadly one of them for me.

Some people are made for each other Some people can love one another for life how about us
One of my favorite live performances from Rush! I suggest checking out the live verison of 'Analog Kid' from the Clockwork Angels tour.
Must watch working them angles live from time machine tour.😊😊😊
great reaction as a fellow brother in the lord, i don't if that gets me ahead of the line, or buying u that bass does it, lol but try hemispheres sometime studio version, just be thrilled how much bass in your face ur going to get the entire song, but all of the music and lyrics is a short 18 minute masterpiece for its time in the seventies, and always will be. great ear and nice playing that groove God bless

I think you would enjoy Stanley Clarke- School Days.
Please for the third time 🙂 Headlong Flight - clockwork angels tour
Please react to the album versions for these songs! You can hear the bass a lot better.
Test for echo from 1997 live
I love when you play thats why your content is so cool 😎
The Big Money! More bass
Much Love!!! Please listen to the studio version.
2112 is going to mess you up.
😆👍
It has everyone else.
I love this tune, but this performance is a bit slower and doesn't groove as well as the original. Just my opinion. Still rocks :) Thanks for sharing your Rush journey with us!
I think the ending makes up for it tho
Do the studio...a little more pace to it....this ranks as my #8 Rush song...sooo much to love🤘
