Don't say you don't know music. Your reaction says otherwise.
It should be noted, this was 2011, the song came out in 1979. The boys were in their late 50s, and this was the encore after 2 and a half hours of playing. That, alone speaks volumes.
Alex Lifeson is criminally underrated as one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time. He is in the conversation with all the other greats, no doubt.
I hate that I didn't feel like that until recently, but he IS!!!
Yes he is.
Agree AL is a virtuoso guitarist
Totally agree! I was thinking the same thing...
Not underrated by guitar players
Rush is one of the greatest bands to ever exist because they truly enjoy, care, love, and appreciate what they do, what they create, and who they play for…their fans!!! Loyalty is what Rush fans stand for and great talent & music is what they admire/appreciate/love…✌️😎🎤🥁🔥
Yes, three geniuses in one band. Alex's solo always gives me goosebumps! This song is about a series of nightmares that Alex Lifeson had especially when they were on the road touring. The polka part at the beginning was a bit of fun. If you listen to the studio version or watch the official video of this song Alex does this beautiful shreddin intro on a classical on the studio album and on an electric guitar in the video.
Great reaction! ❤❤
You hit the nail on the head. 3 geniuses, virtuosos that produce symbiosis. It’s crazy
For people who are not native English speakers, you are poets!! ❤❤ much love from Canada!
The statement "three geniuses" is spot-on....this is a band with 3 virtuoso's......virtually unheard of.
Rush brought me tears at a concert once...without lyrics.
The little "polka" intro was not part of the original song. It was just them and their goofy sense of humor.. This is my favorite video of them in concert, They're just so relaxed and having so much fun. The guitar solo is one of the most beautiful in all of rock, but tragically most "rock fans" have never heard it.
Probably the best song in their repertoire but that’s my opinion. They are the GOAT
Brilliant. They love every moment of what they are doing, and they give you the gift of feeling the same. Definitely check out the studio version on your own if not on the channel. More Rush!
They often thought of themselves as the World's smallest Orchestra
This one time… 3 absolute legends got together…
Three masters.
I've seen it explained that this is a song about a nightmare Alex had. 3 master musicians, 3 best friends, 3 brothers!
Another instrumental only tune you must listen to is "YYZ". And it was inspired because the Toronto Airport call sign is YYZ , and the rest is history. Another legendary song from this talented band. The best to ever play on this planet in my opinion.
RUSH RULES!!🌬🐢
3 virtuosos came together and put out a catalog of over 40 years of songs.
Great reaction to one of the great compositions by the three geniuses.
I always find it amazing that these three geniuses can create such outstanding music with such apparent ease, there are many bands i love dearly but to me, they were on another level, thankyou Neil, Alex and Geddy
Agree and they only 3.. not 4 or mor members amazing.. I ❤ them
3 brilliant artists at the top of there game….
Yes, Rush is timeless.
My favorite Alex Lifeson solo… One of my top five favorite Rush songs of all time. R.I.P. Neil Peart and long live the mighty Rush! Good reaction and review
Put those headphones back on and listen to the studio cut... and remember, they wrote this in their 20's. Geniuses is an understatement. They are musical Gods!
Was lucky enough to see them 5 times live from the 80's to the Clockwork Angels tour. Always amazing.
I was lucky enough to be born in 1960 and follow their whole career.
Thank you! I think an important difference regarding Rush wasn't the fact that all three are musical geniuses. There were many such bands (Cream, Jimmy Hendrix Experience, The Police, ELP). The hard part is being a genius and allowing room for growth with other geniuses. A main reason Rush is a favorite of mine is because all three guys are kind of normal, respectful, humble and self-deprecating, thoughtful, and simply cool. If you look at their early family history and how all bands started back in those days, all three just wanted to play music for a living. A known American comment related to Canadian's is very often, "They are so nice and polite..." These guys fit the profile.
Their enjoyment is that much more incredible, considering how technically difficult what they are playing is. When I was in high school in the 80s, this song was the measuring stick for drummers, if you could play this, you had street creds.
Rush are masters of emotion, they make you feel the music and it seeps into your very soul. Goosebumps! Love Rush ❤and this is why fans are so loyal.
So many rock bands have serious expressions on their faces during their performances....not so Rush.
They really chose the right name because that's exactly what you get when you see them.
3 guys having fun at what they were born to do.
This energy exchanges between them and the audience.
They take their art form very seriously but they don't take themselves too seriously.
Very well said
Hooray!! So happy for choosing this one! Rush fan since 1978--Merchants of Alba fan since 2022 🎶🎵😊🔥✌️
Masterpiece.
Absolute masterpiece.
RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR!
With heart felt admiration and sincerity!

The earlier version video when they were younger is the best version Alex plays an amazing solo at the start that is totally amazing of LA Villa Strangiato. Smiles 😃 from 🇨🇦
You need to react to Rush Xanadu, Exit Stage left. Then you will fully appreciate what these three geniuses are capable of.
It is truly a tragedy that everyone who is just discovering RUSH now, will never be able to experience the band live. Very sad.
This was the first of two encores in this show, the second is Working Man and is one of their best live performances ever. 😊
I have loved this song for almost 40 years. Still awed and can't figure it out. My all time favorite song and RUSH song. Toodles!
Absolutely fantastic!! 💕❤ 🇨🇦
LaViila Estrangiato is like a musical buffet of delicacies that delight the ears, the soul, and the mind while capturing the essence of who Rush is=A musical paradise of talent, creativity, and artistry unheard of in modern times…🎤🔥
Vocês dois são maravilhosos, posso afirmar que são os que melhor reagem!
Eu amo ver seus reacts sinceros a Rush, e espero que nunca parem de reagir a eles ❤!
It was always a real treat when Strangiata was played. That was their first instrumental and was always a crowd favorite!
I had just listened to the song in another video but your comments and the looks of enjoyment on your faces literally started to bring tears to my eyes!
Such a beautiful beautiful reaction, thank you so much. This band mean so much to me and millions of others, they are peerless.
I really miss seeing them live. Such great interactions with the fans and each other. Also little improvasational moments and jokes with music and on screen. At least we have several performances recorded for posterity.
The Polka intro is a humorous twist, not part of the original.
I love your Rush reactions!
In their early days, Rush often put "studio only" songs on their albums - songs that were incredibly complex and difficult to do live, or that they thought would not hold an audiences interest. I remember them talking about it in interviews when the "Moving Pictures" album came out, referring to "Witch Hunt", and they also mentioned "La Villa Strangiato".
Thank goodness, they figured out ways to occasionally perform it live, and it always was appreciated by Rush fans.
Musician's musicians. 👍👍
One of their best…🤘🖖✌️🥁🎸🎹
You might want to check out the original studio recording of this song. The "circus" like beginning isn't how the song originally starts. It was just them having fun.
✌✌
Seen them live at the old Memorial Stadium in St John's Newfoundland and it works both ways. They give the audience energy and they feed off that energy as well. It is the crowd and the band working together and it was amazing just to be part of it.
Listen to it again, knowing it's a childhood dream.
Perfect music, wundervoll band!
It's well known that this is one of the best prog rock instrumentals ever. They are masters of instrumentals. I love this band
Alex and Geddy are best friends since childhood.
Just three talented guys really enjoying themselves, bouncing off the crowd. Although this is great live, it’s lost a little bit in translation without the classic guitar intro imho. I’m so glad you’ve found this amazing band!
Just like the Beatles, when Neil joined, like Ringo, the planets aligned.
Alex Lifeson (guitar) wrote this about a childhood dream he had
Woo Hoo! 😁 Love this version! 🥰🐰
woooooooooooooooo! it's go time!!!!!
DONT THEY ROCK WOW LOL!!!!!
Crazy good coffee ☕️👍🏼🥰 !!
A last time in my life i say, never stop before guitaresolo. Neveeer!!!!
Huge Rush one of many tours i saw them on.Rush fan since 76.Rush fans are rabid.
From early on Rush wrote music that was just a bit above their skill level. When they went to record this track for the album they couldn’t do it in one take. They broke it up into 3 pieces but once it was time to play it live they had mastered it.
One of my all time favorites.
From 2002 to just prior to this tour, Alex used to give an insane "monolog" towards the end of this song. Some were simply hilarious. The Project R30 concert from Radio City Music Hall in NYC was a rant on Paris Hilton. So funny 😅
always funny guys.
Hi guys. The start to this live version is not part of the actual studio recording. The three members are famous for having a great sense of humor, hence their intro.
RUSH........This is the way.
🔥🔥🔥This song is actually based on a nightmare that Alex experienced while staying at the castle of a Count Strangiato in Italy some years ago. You would love the original music video of this song from 1978, done by the boys while in their 20's. So great!
Great concert!! 😊 I was at this show. Shirts were thrown out and Neil used an air gun to shoot them out to the audience.
My brother in law paid my ticket in.😊 was a Great gift
They prepared for the show very well. This is their work. Music is where we are blessed from. And they didn't punch a clock.
Me too. Loudest concert I've ever been to at the Festhalle and I've been to many. So grateful that they chose that night for their R30 video release. Great musicianship times three and it's going to be a very long time before anyone else comes along who's able to fill Neil's boots.
great reaction
"it's like a RUSH".
three piece orchestra!
You need to listen to the songs from the early 70s through 85 when Terry Brown was the producer
When you pause please go back 10 seconds when you restart.
That's some mean musicianship and just monster big time sound.
The start of this Live version of thid Instrumental is different from the album version.
Alex Lifeson is the most underrated guitarist of all time
The polka intro is not in their original version; maybe a wink to Geddy's Polish origin
They changed the beginning for the concert. They wanted it to sound like a circus. The song doesn't sound like that at all on the album, but I love it. What do you think?
Alex came up with the idea for this song after having a really weird dream!!
Its called Progressive Rock..!! You should to react to more YES (the band)... The Rush sound comes to Yes band ❤
Rush is more than progressive rock. They are Ground Zero for the genre of progressive metal.
@@CanadianTimeLord in the 70s Progressive Rock...in the 80s same as Marillion, Pop Prog....¿Ground Zero? Ground Zero : Liquid Tension Experiment and Spiral Architect!
@antoniocarlin5026 Beg to differ. Rush bridged the gap between hard rock, English progressive rock, and pure heavy metal. They took prog rock techniques and blended in blues-based power chords. From those roots, everyone from Queenryche to Dream Theater to LTE on outward to thrash metal, black metal, and more. The family tree of all of them comes back through Rush. The adage is, even if Rush isn't your favourite group, it's your favourite group's favourite group.
Yes you are "watching 3 guniuses doing their job" and having a good time doing it.
You reap what you sow.
Try the original version from the past if you will find some free time .
That's Spanish -- Oh, balls. HAHAHA !! 😂
🤣
please please please always listen to the studio version of rush first. that how Geddy said he wished people would do react to it. I think most groups think that way.
I wished the first reaction was to the classic recording. This intro is fun and campy but doesn't do anything to establish mood or the total complexity of the song.
Not the best version of LVS.
I said, dont stop. I will never subcribe you in my life from this Day on.
RUSH there is no substitute!!
You nailed it. My favorite band since 1980 for a reason
