They are great but they use additional backing tracks with additional layers which were managed by Geddy's pedalboard. So it was not pure 3-men performance

There's something quite poignant about this.... an 11 and a half minute retrospective by probably the greatest heavy rock trio ever. The build in Spirit of Radio is spine-tingling. Three majestic maestros. Thank you Rush!
There were a lot of great bands in the 70's! I've seen so many in my youth. Zeppelin, Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Pink Floyd, Boston, the Eagles, Skynyrd... I could go on and on but there was one band that I saw live for the first time in 1977 that just blew me away and that was these guys. It was remarkable and I'll never forget it! They were just so different and LOUD! I couldn't hear right for a few days after that concert! These guys and so many other original "arena" bands were the soundtrack to my youth and what a great time it was. I miss those days and think about them all the time. I had friends back then and we'd go to whatever concerts we could afford to go to. I'd work 60 hrs a week just so I could afford tickets to a Stones concert or to take my girlfriend to go see KISS! The last concert I went to was to see the Zack Brown Band in Charlotte, NC and those guys played for two and a half hours in 98 degree blistering heat and humidity and they didn't miss a beat the whole time! The younger generation just doesn't understand and I feel bad for them because they'll never get to experience what we did growing up.
@@walterlegere1403 I tend to disagree. If you bring them up well educated they will appreciate. My gen Z daughter collects CD's and doesn't download from Spotify. She has CDs by Yes, Rush, Maiden, Genesis, Floyd, Zeppelin, Camel, Wishbone Ash, Van Der Graaf etc.... But she also like more current modern music of her generation (including rap) Ok!!! Overall she has a very inclusive musical taste and is very tolerant of others tastes too!
When I was 14 I had Rush posters all over my room. The walls, the ceiling, my closet. everywhere full of Rush posters, I always wondered who took those photos. How did they get so CLOSE!? Well, I'm 50 now and a professional concert photographer who shoots 75-100 bands a year live. I got to stand 10 feet away from RUSH a couple years ago and photograph them live and in person for the first time. Even though I photograph popular bands all the time, I nearly had a heart attack from sheer joy shooting RUSH. Now I have my own Rush posters hanging in my office that I shot personally. Full Circle. Love you and thank you Neil, Alex and Geddy! RIP Neil.
Yes may have something to say about that. 3 piece ok, I'll give you that. Getty Lee is Talented but the Fish Chris Squire was the Bass King ! Hands Down! Steve vs Alex, well I don't even think that's close. Neil is the Drums Ace ! This is True !
Fucking G; YYZ blew my mind at 12 (25 currently), Limelight showed me how Rock could be and 2012 is the quintessential Prog piece in my eyes. RIP Neil, you will never be forgotten!!!
I was privileged to see them multiple times beginning in 1979. Culminated in 2012 when my son at age 19 accompanied me to his first Rush concert. Timeless.
I wish I could upvote this video twice! Although I'm not the world's biggest Rush fan, this video planted a great big smile on my face, non-stop for 11 minutes. The band looked like they were having a ball, and the audience certainly were. I don't know why CZcams recommended this to me on 1 January 2024, but I'm feeling better about the new year already.
I feel the exact same way Martijn. But, it makes me feel better to know others feel the same way. Thank you RUSH for the greatest, most memorable music!!!
The best part about RUSH is it was always ALL about making great music, not overdone stage sets or dance routines, just the music. They genuinely cared about each other, too. After Neil was devastated by the deaths of his wife and daughter in separate instances, they put the band aside for two years and made sure he had time to recover. They tracked his progress the whole time then eagerly welcomed him back. Pretty down to earth people.
Still puts tears in my eyes...what an amazing band, and such an anomaly from the typical RNR band!! NOBODY wrote lyrics like Neil, and such amazing musical effort from all of them. Damn, I miss you guys!!! There will never be another even close...
@jamesmason2228 Absolutely! A one-off Canadian project in the heights to which the Canadian character can soar when driven by the refusal to quit!..never surrender!..and the pure love of your game!..whether Hockey in Edmonton@, or Rock and Roll in Hamilton!.. take on all comers!, and .roll on in the pure joy of what your god-given talent can accomplish! God love ❤️ you guys!, AND GOD LOVE NEIL PEART! CANADA 🇨🇦 ♥️ WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!

There was never, nor will there ever be a band who remained friends for 40 years, were as musically talented individually and as a group as the three friends who entertained us for over 40 years! Thank you all for the memories!
I took my mom to see Rush back in the day. She has two Masters. One in Music. She was a great concert pianist among other accomplishments. Mom and me to see Rush! We had a blast.
I respected them above all else. However I am kinda happy they were not truly main stream popular...made me feel like I knew something that not many others did.
Well they did make the rock and roll hall of fame. In the music industry they are very well respected. As for the general public I like the face that they never got to mega star fame levels.
I am always intrigued when somebody says the band or an individual does not get the credit they deserve .... by whose standards does one make this observation? What more does one expect them to have? Not to mention the arrogance of assuming to know what people deserve..
I was introduced to Rush in the early mid 80’s, they definitely are talented and kick out a sound I just don’t like it much, the police trio kicked out a more intelligent rock sound for my money. Even today, everyone knows the police, but only rushes know rush. There’s a reason for that.
Pure MUSICIANS to the CORE! 110%!! I read some interview with Geddy & Alex that Niel played concerts with blistered, cut hands plus having an inflammation on his feet playing on "bloody stumps and barely able to walk!" We will never see anyone like him again!
Hey Scott like everyone since I heard the news I've been listening to their music and reading all the comments from the short and sweet to the long and winded but I think YOU nailed it My Friend,.
What a contrast between so many acts today. Relatively simple lights, no elaborate sets, no pyro, and certainly no Auto-Tune -- just outstanding musicianship.
All the Worlds a Stage was one of my first albums. I've been enjoying Rush since the mid-70s when I realized what music was...they invented "Progressive" rock. Unbelievable talent, lyrics, etc. RIP Neil.
1st LP I ever bought was Rush 2112. I was 15 yrs old. I bought it at Tower of Recods Sacramento Ca. 1977. 2nd LP was All the Worlds a Stage. I took it home and started to learn the songs. I still play some of them today and I am 61. RIP Professor What a mucial heart break. Guitar was my first love.
A month later and it's still tough to swallow. I think the reason it stings so much is it was totally unexpected as no one outside of his family and close friends knew he was sick. I understand his reasons for keeping it quiet and can't blame him.
Brings tears to these now 51 yr old eyes to know that these 3 will never be together like this again. Here is to Neil and all those great songs and most of all, memories we will have with us for all time to remember him, and this great band that was never 1 person any bigger than the band itself. A true brotherhood for the ages. Thank you guys, I have been a fan since I was just a five year old when my older brother brought home the first RUSH album back in 1974. It has been a wonderful journey..
I too am 51. Found Rush in 82 on Signals. And like a fire it burned so bright....47 live shows and I saw my 47th in my 46th year of life. Was hoping to get one for every year for a long time.. Alas....2020...and no hope of a "one last time". Got my tickets for Neil's Lifetime Celebration in Canada and my guess is they won't let me in to go to it in October.
I'm now 58 and haven'd these guys in a few yrs. I've got goose bumps!! What a treasure they were and in many ways, still are. I was in 6th grade when I learned of them. Music can bend time better than Star Trek.
It would live on better if you supported Rush's official CZcams page. They have monetization and would go to support the band. Now you are just supporting some random guy
@@marvinflatt6947 listen to each player for a week straight and then if you still feel the same then ok, yes Ginger is top five but only one can be #1.
Three intensely intelligent musicians ran into each other and created this masterpiece band. One in a zillion. Saw them many times, often by myself just to soak it all in. I LOVE you Rush. Miss you so very much Neil.
Like a few bands so much talent and gifted everyone and you end up with a power house of music lyrics that are priceless like zeppelin black sabbath just to name a few
Me too !!! I went to a few shows alone and in the 1990's drove to Sacramento from Sonoma County without a ticket hoping to find one in the parking lot. Some dude comes up to me and asks if I want to buy a ticket. Then a black guy with dreads asked me the same question and I bought a ticket from him for $20 bucks, and the white guy asked me, "You're gonna buy a ticket from that guy ?" It was TENTH ROW in the center !!!! I'm the guy who made the Geddy Lee for President '92 bumper stickers that I sold at the Mountain View show and it covered the cost for my ticket, and all my buddies who came with me.
@michaelb.42112 You're full of bs jk lol. Thanks for sharing that story. I saw them in Calgary 1986. One of the best concerts I've been to their sound system was topnotch and probbley analog that's better than digital tc 🙂
Now that is a bit much, he may have been the best behind a drum kit, but he didnt cure cancer. If being an entertainer is your idea of benefiting the human race then ok i guess.
I agree 100% His real talent like the rest of the band , is in his exactness. You watch other bands screw up their songs because , they say, they are tired of playing it the same way. Bull!! they probable forgot how. Not these guys, their perfect.
The credit he deserves are all those guitarists that emulate him. Rush has influenced many generations of musicians. They never gave a FUCK about critics/awards. Long time fan that absolutely agrees with your post.
@Harvey Weinsturd Blah, blah, blah...blahblahblahblahblah...blah, blah, blugh! blahblah...blahblah...blahblah. Blahblah...blahblah...blahblah!! = Best EVER Alex Lifeson quote!!! LONG LIVE RUSH! Best rock TRIO EVER!!!!
All three were so talented each one always got there moment to shine and never on just one member!.three brothers that truly were born to be the best together! Legends!!!!!
One of the best thing about Rush to me is that they never stopped evolving or trying new things. They never restricted themselves to one sound or style. The words "Rush doesn't do that" weren't in their vocabulary. They dabbled in metal, prog, reggae, new wave, synth rock, and anything else that tickled their fancy, and somehow made all of it sound like Rush. Not everyone liked everything they did, but few other bands had their curiosity or versatility, and because of that, their catalog is one of the most diverse in recorded music.
that is a sign of a truly great band look at zz top same three guys for 47 years they do what they want when they want and don't give two s%$#s about radio play same with rush.
What I love about Rush is that they did things their way regardless of pressures from record labels, fans, agents or anyone else. They said fuck it all, we're in this for ourselves; if you like what we do, that's great, but if not, we don't really care because we genuinely love it and that's all that matters. That is the way to live your life.
Rush, man what a band, one of my all-time favorites. Thanks, guys for many memorable years of listening to your music. Special hats off to Neil Peart, without any doubt the best drummer ever, he'll always be remembered. Now he's with Selena.
This has become my favorite bit of live Rush. It is so incredibly tight, and ending with The Spirit of Radio really does it for me - if you're having a bad day, that song will lift you up. If you're having a great day, that song will somehow make it an even better day, and live...it just really, really works.
Perhaps technically sound isn't the right category to put them true. But they are three musicians that can singergize extremely well and create a very full and lively music. Or did at least. And they are very good in their art.
I'm 54 and only just discovered rush because moving pictures tribute band came to my local music venue. Wow. Glad I went. Love the moving pictures, and now love rush!
I remember drawing the RUSH logo and the Rush star on my books in High School (class of 79) took my daughter to see them in Hershey about 10 years ago telling her that Hannah Montana wasn't going to be her first concert. And she was going to see the best drummer in the world. She loves Rush to this day. RIP Neil.
This was a great concert -- July 2004 / White River Amphitheater; remember it like it was yesterday and hard to believe almost 20 years ago. Greatest band ever. RIP Neil Peart.
Same here! I was about 16 when I studied Rush music. I learnt playing drums listening to Kiss and Rush :) This is so cool! Even more, THE Canadian Rockband recording their 40th anniversary tour in Frankfurt Festhalle, Germany. Makes me happy. This venue was my second living room for many years. So much legacy, for the location and the band as well. Perfect fit. I'll never forget the sadness I felt when I learned that Neil passed away. It was like the day when Freddie passed away. What a loss....
I went to see them at Nassau Coliseum back in the late 70' early 80's ( friends & I felt like we were old men) we were listing to them from their 1st album & we are all in our 60's now.
Brandon Tyler: Love Your Comment! When my son, who is now 29 was in Jr. High & HS, I told him I would not allow Rap to be played in the house if I could hear it. He could listen to Rap, but had to have head phones on! He obliged. I turned him on to classic R&R and he is a total classic rock&roller. Over the years we have seen Boston, Styx, Kiss, Tom Petty, Steve Miller, Peter Frampton, ZZ Top, David Knopfler, AC-DC and others together. We try to make two to four shows a year. We saw RUSH in Houston on their last tour. We agree it was in our top three list of best shows! & I we totally love this video! ~To paraphrase your awesome comment: Dad: Turn this Rap off son! Son: Why dad? Dad: Cause we have bigger speakers and MUCH BETTER MUSIC downstairs. Saber :--)
To put it into context, there’s good rock bands who are tradesmen, there are great rock bands who are craftsmen and then there is Rush, master craftsmen, they are in a league of their own. Being in Australia I never got to see them live, thank goodness for the posted videos.
That’s insane! RUSH is so great live! Their body of work is so big that they are one of only a few bands that could even create such a great intro and still have tons of music left over to play. Will always love these guys!
WOW, that was the same tour I was introduced to Rush…1974?? 75?? I actually have a poster from that show…ticket prices were like $5.50 per! Kiss headlined…never again was that the case!
Remember: This was only *3* dudes! Each one a master musician in his own right. We will never see the likes of this again except in recording. I'm not glad that I'm not a kid anymore, but I'll trade that for being old enough to have seen Rush live three times.
@@ToddandRaquiForrest AS AMAZING AS IS THIS IS......................... Little girls from China replicate the RUSH sound quite convincingly, There will never be RUSH ever again with their artistry, and Never ever ever on the same level as a a unit playing together with their feel and not produced on a lesser arrangement. But Thanks!
I'd followed Rush since the early 80s and they grew to be my favorite band. So much complexity in both music and lyrics. Got every one of their albums plus concert videos. FINALLY got to see them live on their Clockwork Angels tour and it was the best concert I have ever seen (probably forever). They were on stage for 3 hours. Will never forget it. Fantastic talent and Neil Peart is the best drummer all time, in my opinion. RIP Neil and thank you as well Alex and Teddy!
The 'greatest'...really? It is great, but the 'greatest'? Have you (or I or others for that matter) heard all possible 'contenders'? I suspect not, and that is not me being derogatory but rather acknowledging that it is probably an impossibility to have heard ALL alternatives great pieces.. It is also in my view that the 'greatest' is quite a subjective determination so I have come to realize that because I have not heard all possible alternatives AND because my tastes are somewhat eclectic then I am unable to state that one piece in particular is the greatest. All I could reasonably state perhaps is that one particular piece is the greatest that I have heard. For my part there are plenty of great pieces, ranging from some of Neil Young and Crazy Horse's masterful performances (Cortez, Down by the River, Cinammon Girl etc) to Yes (with Starship/Yours is No Disgrace/Wurm) to Humble Pie's I don't need no Doctor and then on to Richard Thompson's nearly 14-min Calvary Cross (my personal favourite). I just enjoy as many of these musical gems as I can before my time is up.
I've seen Rush live only 4 times but every time they blew my socks off...there are a lot of great drummers. Some are fast but to me Neil Peart's drumming was truly amazing. He was a true rock drummer and a dynamic performer. I miss him terribly. RIP Neil. ❤ U man!!❤
@torybrown7730 "Only 4 times" is four times more than I have! I'm happy for those who were able to see them Live in Concert! Bravo to you for not just going once but supporting the many tours!
To bring this back to the top - thanks to Neto, who posted this 11 months ago. 0:00/1:04 - "Finding My Way" - (Rush) 1:05/2:39 - "Anthem" - (Fly By Night) 2:40/3:26 - "Bastille Day" - (Caress of Steel) 3:27/4:37 - "A Passage to Bangkok" - (2112) 4:38/5:49 - "Cygnus X-1 (Book I - The Voyage)" - (A Farewell To Kings) 5:50/6:33 - "Cygnus X-1 (Book II: Hemispheres)" - (Hemispheres) 6:34/11:36 - "The Spirit of Radio" - (Permanent Waves)
Beautiful, this man was a true artist. A thinking man that wrote deep lyrics that still resonate with me at 52 years old. But that was not enough he became one of the most complex drummers to ever exist. Neil you touched my soul brother. Thank you for the art. So saddened to hear of your passing. You were a beautiful human
I am the same age as you, 52. Neil was such an inspiration to me and all the years growing up with Rush as my all time favorite rock band. He may be gone but my memories will forever last in my soul and mind forever.
One of the most underrated bands on earth. Saw them in Leeds Queens Hall 1981 ish. Neils drum solo was amazing, He must have 10000 bits of equipment and he hit every one of them RIP
Saw them about that time, think it would have been Leicester De Montfort Hall. I remember Neil's kit was four sided and closed behind him when he'd sat down. He had a freakin walk-in drum kit. And yes he hit every bit, a lot!
Grew up in the 70's, had every one of their albums. One of THE greatest arena bands of ALL TIME. And just saying, Alex Lifeson is one of the most under rated lead guitarists in history. He is rarely ever included in the "top 10", "top 50" "top 100" lists and that's just stupid. They didn't call Neil Peart "The Professor" for nothing and Geddy Lee was the indisputable voice of Rush but also one of the greatest electric base players that ever lived. He and Chris Squire were so close it was crazy. There will never be another group like this ever.
layzer80 Completely amazing. I do not know how 3 people could all be so unbelievably gifted and somehow found each other. I sometimes wonder if they are even human. It's like watching that one athlete that you know you will never see the likes of again in your lifetime.
No makeup No hair spray No gimmiks And Mr. Peart plays EVERY PIECE of his kit..he is an animal! Each of them so talented and always deliver! ~*R* U* S* H*~
@@markpreston6930 You missed the keyboard on the floor that Geddy was playing with his feet while also playing some damn fine bass? Love em or hate em, they put out a lot of sound for just 3 guys. And they are so good at multitasking that they're even doing their laundry while putting on a show. 😁
@@34dukeboy you know how people have to upload videos to CZcams? Well Rush does. Many of their videos only have a couple thousand views when they should have millions. The more views a channel has, the more money they get. If Rush gets more views, then they will get money. It's like respecting the people who actually wrote, played and made the videos
@@MindfulMaterialism ok boomer just shut up all i wrote was rip neil peart sorry i offended u by not subscribing to rush. I didnt know that not subbing to someones CZcams channel proves idc about them. Go back to ur pathetic l8fe because clearly no one cares about u
Three great technicians building musical monuments. Forever to stand tall amongst all others. Thank you for the decades of music and creativity boys. It’s meant a lot to me.
Three of the greatest musicians to ever Rock together n That's a Fact about 37 years The Professor is probably in the Top three drummers in the world ✌🏻out 🎸🎼🥁
I’ve been a Rush fan for 40 years, the more I listen the more I appreciate Alex Lifeson, very underrated, and I don’t think you will see musicianship in 3 artists as you will in Rush anytime soon...
If you listen to his evolution of playing and style over the years, it's incredible. I dont think I've heard any guitarist evolve like him. His guitar playing across the board is amazing but on PRESTO its mind boggling. Cheers!

Thats canadians for ya, but joking aside they truly seem like great people. RIP Neil Peart
If we judge the greatest bands of all time based on the quality and integrity of the members and not their music Rush would be number 1 through 5
And please don't misunderstand as far as RUSH's music goes to me they are the greatest band of all time
You should read Neil's book about that time.
Still puts tears in my eyes...what an amazing band, and such an anomaly from the typical RNR band!! NOBODY wrote lyrics like Neil, and such amazing musical effort from all of them. Damn, I miss you guys!!! There will never be another even close...
There could be. But it would have to be a group of people who never accepted "good enough" - and were willing to spend their lives chasing "better".
@jamesmason2228 Absolutely! A one-off Canadian project in the heights to which the Canadian character can soar when driven by the refusal to quit!..never surrender!..and the pure love of your game!..whether Hockey in Edmonton@, or Rock and Roll in Hamilton!.. take on all comers!, and .roll on in the pure joy of what your god-given talent can accomplish! God love ❤️ you guys!, AND GOD LOVE NEIL PEART! CANADA 🇨🇦 ♥️ WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!

No shit well said!!
Well said, enough said.... Lá Vila Strangiato forever!
Amen....Mine too
There was never, nor will there ever be a band who remained friends for 40 years, were as musically talented individually and as a group as the three friends who entertained us for over 40 years! Thank you all for the memories!
Only in Canada
Lovely tribute Mr Koonz.
and from TO!!
Ehmmm, Bruce Springsteen and The E-Street Band??

Neil Peart ...... what can I say, simply the greatest.
I took my mom to see Rush back in the day. She has two Masters. One in Music. She was a great concert pianist among other accomplishments. Mom and me to see Rush! We had a blast.

Three great musicians and friends performing at the highest level for four decades. Not recognized to the degree they deserve!
I respected them above all else. However I am kinda happy they were not truly main stream popular...made me feel like I knew something that not many others did.
Well they did make the rock and roll hall of fame. In the music industry they are very well respected. As for the general public I like the face that they never got to mega star fame levels.
This band more than makes up for Nickelback and Bieber.
No comparison
I am always intrigued when somebody says the band or an individual does not get the credit they deserve .... by whose standards does one make this observation? What more does one expect them to have? Not to mention the arrogance of assuming to know what people deserve..
Can't believe I spent over 40 years of my life completely unaware of the existence of Rush. Most underated band ever.
Hey, no worries! Better late than never!
Underrated? Hardly. Correctly rated as among the greatest rock acts.
@@MrGordonGartrelledef underrated
I was introduced to Rush in the early mid 80’s, they definitely are talented and kick out a sound I just don’t like it much, the police trio kicked out a more intelligent rock sound for my money. Even today, everyone knows the police, but only rushes know rush. There’s a reason for that.
I can't believe it either! But you are off on a journey that will lead you to places you never imagined existed! Enjoy the ride my friend!
Seriously, the way Neil Peart plays drums so easy and eloquently is a joy to behold.. I think I could watch him forever.. 🙏 Neil
Not easily. He suffered later in life with joint pain.
Rush: When love of music, friendship, and integrity overrides big egos, drugs, and sexual conquesting to give you decades of great music.
Pure MUSICIANS to the CORE! 110%!! I read some interview with Geddy & Alex that Niel played concerts with blistered, cut hands plus having an inflammation on his feet playing on "bloody stumps and barely able to walk!" We will never see anyone like him again!
Hey Scott like everyone since I heard the news I've been listening to their music and reading all the comments from the short and sweet to the long and winded but I think YOU nailed it My Friend,.
@@srpdesigns appreciate that SRP, especially from a designer!
Well, yeah, but drugs and sexual conquesting aren't bad, c'mon. :)
Excellent call, so true.
Interrupting this musical masterclass half way through with adverts is a crime against all humanity

Try using UBlock Origin, I never see any ads ever.
If you pay for CZcams Premium, you don't get ads. Best expenditure EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a contrast between so many acts today. Relatively simple lights, no elaborate sets, no pyro, and certainly no Auto-Tune -- just outstanding musicianship.
There will never be a band like RUSH in my lifetime.
No one makes music this good anymore. OUTSTANDING!
Agreed!
Nope.they sure don't &.can't what a insane sound a magical trio can make together. ALL 3 MUSICAL GENIUS'S !!!
Dream Theater, Winery dogs, even Foo fighters
Been listening to Rush since the early 80’s. 100% best 3 piece band ever and Neil Peart definitely the greatest drummer of all time (R.I.P)
No Doubt about it. Never saw them live, But in 78- 80' MTV was on top of it. Too bad I didn't have a 69' TV. had the stereo.
Class of '86. ...I couldn't have survived adolescence without Rush on my Walkman.
Absolut der beste Drummer auf Augenhöhe mit Carl Palmer!
Greetings fromm Germany!
All the Worlds a Stage was one of my first albums. I've been enjoying Rush since the mid-70s when I realized what music was...they invented "Progressive" rock. Unbelievable talent, lyrics, etc. RIP Neil.
@@DarryllC yo D how bout it
1st LP I ever bought was Rush 2112. I was 15 yrs old. I bought it at Tower of Recods Sacramento Ca. 1977.
2nd LP was All the Worlds a Stage. I took it home and started to learn the songs. I still play some of them today and I am 61.
RIP Professor
What a mucial heart break.
Guitar was my first love.
I had gotten my hands on "All the World's a Stage" first and soon after found "Hemispheres" on an album rack and melted.🎸🔊
I still have ALL my LPs. I had to replace 2112 because I wore it out. My collection is about 500 to date. I luv vinyl.
I'm still amazed that so many RUSH fans don't know that besides all that great drumming, Neil wrote nearly ALL the lyrics.
There will never be another 3 piece band who could reach their levels of perfection and be so graceful !
No drugs or tattoos needed !!!!
Well, I wouldn't say no drugs.. read their biographies, there were plenty of drugs back in the day. I agree with everything else you said though.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
@@jimbarrofficial that is exactly what i was going to say
I think Highly Suspect might. may have drugs and tattoos involved but just as awesome musically
@@FloydMaxwell you read my mind!!!
My wife wasn't a Rush fan, but she bought 20th row tickets for the Snakes and Arrows tour. She's liked them ever since.
Score!
Keep that one!
There will never be another band like rush R.I.P. Neal.
I was sad when Neil retired, absolutely devastated today. Rest in peace sir.
Wierd but . I know, it killed me for some odd reason.
At least he got to relax with his family the last few years
A month later and it's still tough to swallow. I think the reason it stings so much is it was totally unexpected as no one outside of his family and close friends knew he was sick. I understand his reasons for keeping it quiet and can't blame him.
Brings tears to these now 51 yr old eyes to know that these 3 will never be together like this again. Here is to Neil and all those great songs and most of all, memories we will have with us for all time to remember him, and this great band that was never 1 person any bigger than the band itself. A true brotherhood for the ages. Thank you guys, I have been a fan since I was just a five year old when my older brother brought home the first RUSH album back in 1974. It has been a wonderful journey..
I too am 51. Found Rush in 82 on Signals. And like a fire it burned so bright....47 live shows and I saw my 47th in my 46th year of life. Was hoping to get one for every year for a long time.. Alas....2020...and no hope of a "one last time". Got my tickets for Neil's Lifetime Celebration in Canada and my guess is they won't let me in to go to it in October.
I'm now 58 and haven'd these guys in a few yrs. I've got goose bumps!! What a treasure they were and in many ways, still are. I was in 6th grade when I learned of them. Music can bend time better than Star Trek.
WELL SAID.......
Jack Kennedy had the privilege of seeing them in MA in the early 90s. Most impressive show I’ve ever seen. Such talent. Outstanding
same here
Been a RUSH fan since about 19983, this clip ROCKS IT TO THE CORE.. LOVE IT!!
Never never never has 3 people created such a wonderful sound. Can never be duplicated.
RIP Neil Greatest Drummer of all Time in my opinion Truly sad ever. Rush`s Music will always live on
Yes. RIP
Did you ever see Ginger Baker play? Neil was great too tho.
It would live on better if you supported Rush's official CZcams page. They have monetization and would go to support the band. Now you are just supporting some random guy
@@marvinflatt6947 listen to each player for a week straight and then if you still feel the same then ok, yes Ginger is top five but only one can be #1.
@@mattpayne1435 been listening to both for years, imo Baker is better..that's all
Three intensely intelligent musicians ran into each other and created this masterpiece band. One in a zillion. Saw them many times, often by myself just to soak it all in. I LOVE you Rush. Miss you so very much Neil.
Like a few bands so much talent and gifted everyone and you end up with a power house of music lyrics that are priceless like zeppelin black sabbath just to name a few
Me too !!! I went to a few shows alone and in the 1990's drove to Sacramento from Sonoma County without a ticket hoping to find one in the parking lot. Some dude comes up to me and asks if I want to buy a ticket. Then a black guy with dreads asked me the same question and I bought a ticket from him for $20 bucks, and the white guy asked me, "You're gonna buy a ticket from that guy ?" It was TENTH ROW in the center !!!! I'm the guy who made the Geddy Lee for President '92 bumper stickers that I sold at the Mountain View show and it covered the cost for my ticket, and all my buddies who came with me.
@michaelb.42112 You're full of bs jk lol. Thanks for sharing that story. I saw them in Calgary 1986. One of the best concerts I've been to their sound system was topnotch and probbley analog that's better than digital tc 🙂
The best thing I ever did was bring my two sons to see Rush, the worst thing I ever did was only going once.
It's Amazing that 3 people can produce such beautiful music
Most kick ass 3 man band ever. RUSH TOTALLY ROCKS!!!!!
Stereophonics....A welsh band,....my countrymen thanking you ta!
Charles Phillips Rush and Kings X too!
zztop might disagree with that
How about ZZ Top?
Let this forever be a reminder of how privileged the human race was to have Neil Peart.
Now that is a bit much, he may have been the best behind a drum kit, but he didnt cure cancer. If being an entertainer is your idea of benefiting the human race then ok i guess.
Why? Thousands of mediocre drummers around.
@@casinosnoopy9900 wanker
i agree 100 pct love the man rip mr peart
And the entire band.
G.O.A.T MrNeil..R.I.P
Absolutely flawless. We will not see their like again.
AI can try
I feel Alex doesn't always get the credit he deserves. For me, he's up there with the best ever Rock guitarists
I agree 100% His real talent like the rest of the band , is in his exactness. You watch other bands screw up their songs because , they say, they are tired of playing it the same way. Bull!! they probable forgot how. Not these guys, their perfect.
The credit he deserves are all those guitarists that emulate him. Rush has influenced many generations of musicians. They never gave a FUCK about critics/awards. Long time fan that absolutely agrees with your post.
favorite Alex clip czcams.com/video/78D00dYOBrM/video.html

This and John Candy. Thats about it. 😂
Terrance & Phillip!
Poutine (fries and gravy 🤤 ) is pretty good too tho…..
I prefer Terrance and Phillip
Gsp ?
The live version of this song is so outstanding.
All three were so talented each one always got there moment to shine and never on just one member!.three brothers that truly were born to be the best together! Legends!!!!!
They had doctorates in music, all of them ! Fuckin A!
Without Neil we would never witness such a masterpiece as this. RIP ❤
pinz2022 I don't always listen to RUSH, but when I do, so does the whole neighborhood..
R30, my friends...
lol
Like Ged's (or was it Alex's?) mom said in Beyond the Lighted Stage: "The whole neighborhood was bumping!"
That's the way it should be :-)
All going down hill. An oid. Fuck it it. The past
To this day, after 45 years of listening to all kinds of music - no other band has ever impressed me more than RUSH. RIP Neil.
I love love this, and lucky me seen this live. Geddy and Alex all smiley floating on their music, and Neil just crushing it. ❤
One of the best thing about Rush to me is that they never stopped evolving or trying new things. They never restricted themselves to one sound or style. The words "Rush doesn't do that" weren't in their vocabulary. They dabbled in metal, prog, reggae, new wave, synth rock, and anything else that tickled their fancy, and somehow made all of it sound like Rush. Not everyone liked everything they did, but few other bands had their curiosity or versatility, and because of that, their catalog is one of the most diverse in recorded music.
It's one of the reasons I love Rush. If I want to hear something in nearly any rock-related style there's at least one Rush song that covers it.
that is a sign of a truly great band look at zz top same three guys for 47 years they do what they want when they want and don't give two s%$#s about radio play same with rush.
What I love about Rush is that they did things their way regardless of pressures from record labels, fans, agents or anyone else. They said fuck it all, we're in this for ourselves; if you like what we do, that's great, but if not, we don't really care because we genuinely love it and that's all that matters. That is the way to live your life.
Fuck yes! RUSH!!!
Unlike those record company fan hating whores metalijoke or aka selloutica.
I'm Canadian. To explain what Rush means to us, they are probably like if George Washington, General Patton, and Rocky Balboa had a band.
I think a high % of Americans wud be clueless on rocky Balboa. Yet I get ur point.
@POINTTWOFIVEMOA Please stop yelling.
And then you get to add Neil Peart!
Yah except Rocky, Washington and Patton NEVER would have helped and endorsed "TRUDEAU FOR PRIME MINISTER"! What the fuck was Rush thinking?!
I'm Canadian as well, but I think it's also like the Moon landing.
Rush, man what a band, one of my all-time favorites. Thanks, guys for many memorable years of listening to your music. Special hats off to Neil Peart, without any doubt the best drummer ever, he'll always be remembered. Now he's with Selena.
This has become my favorite bit of live Rush. It is so incredibly tight, and ending with The Spirit of Radio really does it for me - if you're having a bad day, that song will lift you up. If you're having a great day, that song will somehow make it an even better day, and live...it just really, really works.
RIP Neil, epic drummer :(
KainAbyss greatest to ever live
3 of the most technically sound musicians to EVER walk this planet.
Perhaps technically sound isn't the right category to put them true. But they are three musicians that can singergize extremely well and create a very full and lively music. Or did at least. And they are very good in their art.
monokhem You're not a musician, are you.
Which Rock n Roll Hall of Fame bands did you play for?
So you're not there.
There's certainly at least _one_ of the most technically sound musicians to ever walk this planet.
There’s just no words to properly articulate the feelings of wonder and energy shared between a young man and classic rock and roll music
I'm 54 and only just discovered rush because moving pictures tribute band came to my local music venue. Wow. Glad I went. Love the moving pictures, and now love rush!
Neil Peart wasn't a drummer. He was an orchestral percussion section.
Yes! A True Master of His Craft! And Canadian too eh!
ahhh man thats so cool great comment
That's the best description I think I've ever heard!
@@apackerfan he definately ruled the skins back in his day ,big sound outta a small kit , bohnam did also i think
and a drummer the best ever
I remember drawing the RUSH logo and the Rush star on my books in High School (class of 79) took my daughter to see them in Hershey about 10 years ago telling her that Hannah Montana wasn't going to be her first concert. And she was going to see the best drummer in the world. She loves Rush to this day. RIP Neil.
Well done sir! Got to start em off right.
Parenting done right!!!
You did her a huge favor.
Very very good father ❤️
Save the children from bullshit
My first concert Toronto Moving Pictures tour. 16 yrs old. Life altering ❤
This was a great concert -- July 2004 / White River Amphitheater; remember it like it was yesterday and hard to believe almost 20 years ago. Greatest band ever. RIP Neil Peart.
And at The Gorge 🎉
I discovered this band when I was thirteen and they changed my life. Now I’m 56 and listening to them makes me cry with joy !
Same here! I was about 16 when I studied Rush music. I learnt playing drums listening to Kiss and Rush :)
This is so cool! Even more, THE Canadian Rockband recording their 40th anniversary tour in Frankfurt Festhalle, Germany. Makes me happy.
This venue was my second living room for many years. So much legacy, for the location and the band as well. Perfect fit.
I'll never forget the sadness I felt when I learned that Neil passed away. It was like the day when Freddie passed away. What a loss....
me too im 52 bought drums from mowing yards and destroyed them playing this
Agree!! great band,love them forever! 69 !
Same for me I'm 56 also love RUSH
I went to see them at Nassau Coliseum back in the late 70' early 80's ( friends & I felt like we were old men) we were listing to them from their 1st album & we are all in our 60's now.
Dad: Turn this off son!
Son: Why dad?
Dad: Cause we have bigger speakers downstairs.
Good one!!
Fk ya
Brandon Tyler:
Love Your Comment!
When my son, who is now 29 was in Jr. High & HS, I told him I would not allow Rap to be played in the house if I could hear it. He could listen to Rap, but had to have head phones on! He obliged.
I turned him on to classic R&R and he is a total classic rock&roller. Over the years we have seen Boston, Styx, Kiss, Tom Petty, Steve Miller, Peter Frampton, ZZ Top, David Knopfler, AC-DC and others together.
We try to make two to four shows a year. We saw RUSH in Houston on their last tour. We agree it was in our top three list of best shows! & I we totally love this video!
~To paraphrase your awesome comment:
Dad: Turn this Rap off son!
Son: Why dad?
Dad: Cause we have bigger speakers and MUCH BETTER MUSIC downstairs.
Saber :--)
Love it!!!
*LOL* 👍
To put it into context, there’s good rock bands who are tradesmen, there are great rock bands who are craftsmen and then there is Rush, master craftsmen, they are in a league of their own. Being in Australia I never got to see them live, thank goodness for the posted videos.
That’s insane! RUSH is so great live! Their body of work is so big that they are one of only a few bands that could even create such a great intro and still have tons of music left over to play. Will always love these guys!
The intro that can never be topped. These guys were so incredible. My first concert was rush and kiss together. Talk about a show. It was phenomenal.
Who headlined?
I saw them together and RUSH was the headline. Early 70s.
Same here. Kizz headlined. Charleston Wva. I'm 60 now. 😒
( . Y . ) but still love to ROCK. Thanx RUSH
WOW, that was the same tour I was introduced to Rush…1974?? 75?? I actually have a poster from that show…ticket prices were like $5.50 per! Kiss headlined…never again was that the case!
@@stanlogan7504 is pp
Remember: This was only *3* dudes! Each one a master musician in his own right. We will never see the likes of this again except in recording. I'm not glad that I'm not a kid anymore, but I'll trade that for being old enough to have seen Rush live three times.
Just to shake Geddy Lee or Alex Lifeson's hand.
I hear you Bro.....
7 times here
What if there was one person who could do this all at the same level? There IS... czcams.com/video/GD5Xo1Tkh4U/video.html
@@ToddandRaquiForrest AS AMAZING AS IS THIS IS......................... Little girls from China replicate the RUSH sound quite convincingly, There will never be RUSH ever again with their artistry, and Never ever ever on the same level as a a unit playing together with their feel and not produced on a lesser arrangement. But Thanks!
I'd followed Rush since the early 80s and they grew to be my favorite band. So much complexity in both music and lyrics. Got every one of their albums plus concert videos. FINALLY got to see them live on their Clockwork Angels tour and it was the best concert I have ever seen (probably forever). They were on stage for 3 hours. Will never forget it. Fantastic talent and Neil Peart is the best drummer all time, in my opinion. RIP Neil and thank you as well Alex and Teddy!
Er Geddy.
I can imagine how Neil's rocking heaven with that drum set.
This is the greatest fucking eleven and a half minutes of live rock n roll ever!!!!!!!!!! RIP Professor Peart.
agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!!!!!
Listen & learn !!....timeless magic !
The 'greatest'...really? It is great, but the 'greatest'? Have you (or I or others for that matter) heard all possible 'contenders'? I suspect not, and that is not me being derogatory but rather acknowledging that it is probably an impossibility to have heard ALL alternatives great pieces.. It is also in my view that the 'greatest' is quite a subjective determination so I have come to realize that because I have not heard all possible alternatives AND because my tastes are somewhat eclectic then I am unable to state that one piece in particular is the greatest. All I could reasonably state perhaps is that one particular piece is the greatest that I have heard. For my part there are plenty of great pieces, ranging from some of Neil Young and Crazy Horse's masterful performances (Cortez, Down by the River, Cinammon Girl etc) to Yes (with Starship/Yours is No Disgrace/Wurm) to Humble Pie's I don't need no Doctor and then on to Richard Thompson's nearly 14-min Calvary Cross (my personal favourite). I just enjoy as many of these musical gems as I can before my time is up.
@@tonywethereld7429 One thing you can always count on is there is an asshole in every crowd

@Mono -- You're right. One look at Dylan Elise, and---well.
Beautiful, this man was a true artist. A thinking man that wrote deep lyrics that still resonate with me at 52 years old. But that was not enough he became one of the most complex drummers to ever exist. Neil you touched my soul brother. Thank you for the art. So saddened to hear of your passing. You were a beautiful human
And no air play on the radio.Rush rules !

@@lyndondow1040 klos in southern ca still plays them. sadly the radio has been ruined by one company clear channel owning more than half the stations.
@@eh3253 well art is subjective but we are blessed that we know who they are.
I am the same age as you, 52. Neil was such an inspiration to me and all the years growing up with Rush as my all time favorite rock band. He may be gone but my memories will forever last in my soul and mind forever.
One of the most underrated bands on earth. Saw them in Leeds Queens Hall 1981 ish. Neils drum solo was amazing, He must have 10000 bits of equipment and he hit every one of them RIP
Saw them about that time, think it would have been Leicester De Montfort Hall. I remember Neil's kit was four sided and closed behind him when he'd sat down. He had a freakin walk-in drum kit. And yes he hit every bit, a lot!
Grew up in the 70's, had every one of their albums. One of THE greatest arena bands of ALL TIME. And just saying, Alex Lifeson is one of the most under rated lead guitarists in history. He is rarely ever included in the "top 10", "top 50" "top 100" lists and that's just stupid. They didn't call Neil Peart "The Professor" for nothing and Geddy Lee was the indisputable voice of Rush but also one of the greatest electric base players that ever lived. He and Chris Squire were so close it was crazy. There will never be another group like this ever.
Right on. I played guitar and sang in a Rush tribute band years ago, and the technical difficulty level was off the charts.
@KillingtonSSSvideos I bet it was how the he'll did you follow these guys note for note fair play brother
He should be in the top 3 no BS. Neil #1 drummer geddy #1 bass player.

of his kit..he is an animal! Each of them so talented and always deliver!

Bullshit. The use a hidden keyboard player and recordings.
Bullshit mark
Yes and similar to YES in that way.
@@markpreston6930 You missed the keyboard on the floor that Geddy was playing with his feet while also playing some damn fine bass? Love em or hate em, they put out a lot of sound for just 3 guys. And they are so good at multitasking that they're even doing their laundry while putting on a show. 😁
@@ruthoneil2224 no and very similar to NO that way
RIP Neal Peart you we're Incredible the best drummer ever! Favourite band of all time
Yet you don't support them on their official CZcams channel. Interesting
@@MindfulMaterialism ????
@@34dukeboy you know how people have to upload videos to CZcams? Well Rush does. Many of their videos only have a couple thousand views when they should have millions. The more views a channel has, the more money they get. If Rush gets more views, then they will get money. It's like respecting the people who actually wrote, played and made the videos
@@MindfulMaterialism ok boomer just shut up all i wrote was rip neil peart sorry i offended u by not subscribing to rush. I didnt know that not subbing to someones CZcams channel proves idc about them. Go back to ur pathetic l8fe because clearly no one cares about u
Best drummer ever? John Bonham?
I like the dryers on stage, like they're just hangin out in the basement...
Three great technicians building musical monuments. Forever to stand tall amongst all others.
Thank you for the decades of music and creativity boys. It’s meant a lot to me.
Three of the greatest musicians to ever Rock together n That's a Fact about 37 years
The Professor is probably in the Top three drummers in the world ✌🏻out 🎸🎼🥁
True.
Andy Gascon who are the other 2?
Paulo Mendes Bobby Jarzombek is one of them for sure!
Three of the greatest musicians. End of sentence. :)
Paulo Mendes Mike Portnoy I guess is one of them.
Whenever I listen to RUSH so do my neighbors.
do they invite the cops to come over an listen as well LOL
The way it should be! So should, the whole neighborhood.
It's the law.

Poland ... now ... sunday 3:30 am ... neighbors 1 mile away ... they have to love it anyway !!!
2x 2000 watts... 4 mono bridged wangine amps. ....
We all are still listening to great
I've been fortunate enough to see & hear RUSH perform live and I still have my 2112 Album from when I was a teen!
I’ve been a Rush fan for 40 years, the more I listen the more I appreciate Alex Lifeson, very underrated, and I don’t think you will see musicianship in 3 artists as you will in Rush anytime soon...
If you listen to his evolution of playing and style over the years, it's incredible. I dont think I've heard any guitarist evolve like him. His guitar playing across the board is amazing but on PRESTO its mind boggling. Cheers!
Yah, all of them seem to get better with age. Probably cause they didn't do any drugs to destroy their brains.
You wernt a fan in the 70s ? Why Not
More than likely never will .
I don't think we'll see it ever again. I am lucky enough to have seen them live 3 times and they are just supremely talented musicians.
