      The only tine(s) I have ever heard a crowd sing along with an instrumental has been at Rush shows. The most memorable to me are the T4E and Time Machine tours at The Gorge at George (WA) and R30 at White River (Auburn, WA) Although I do remember the crowd singing along with 2112 Overture as early was '77's AFTK tour.

      YYZED, I love the spelling! Neil Peart (he pronounced it Peert) was inbound on a small plane one time to Pearson and heard the morse code for the airport on the radio. He wanted to recreate the havoc, highs, and slows of a busy international airport. Neil wrote most (all?) the songs and Geddy Lee, the bass player, sang lead vocals. Just not on an instrumental.

      I’m pretty sure that Geddy’s quote during the Yes induction into the HOF that “Without Yes there would be no Rush” would be apt to point to and it took Geddy to do Chris Squire’s bass line in “Roundabout”
      That being said Rush certainly is indeed great torch bearers and innovators of that original sound that Yes pioneered and they took to levels of their own.

Masters of the transition with the ridiculous chops in between. The “song” writing is next level, not just chops and endless noodling. Rush has four or five distinct periods where their sound changed, and they mastered every one of them. All different periods and sounds and yet still undeniably Rush. Your journey is still on the first step of a massive staircase. Like Rocky, Philadelphia steps

  • @mikeyb1070
    @mikeyb1070 Před 3 lety +2

    I never comment on videos, but as a bonafide Rush head, I felt compelled this time. I've seen Rush in concert more than 30 times, going back to their Counterparts tour in the early 90s. I've seen them in Orlando, Tampa, Vegas, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Buffalo, and their hometown of Toronto.
    I had a crap morning, so I sat on the couch and wandered around CZcams when I came across this video. After watching it, I also watched your Tom Sawyer and Working Man videos. Awesome stuff, you guys are exactly the kind of energy I needed today, and so I'm a subscriber now. You said you could look stuff on Google but would prefer info from the comments, so I thought I'd give you what I recall out of my head, and some of the experiences that came with them.
    I'm a dude in my mid 40s, I grew up in a not great family in Buffalo, NY, and found great comfort in Rush. I was first turned onto them when I was something like 11, in the car on the way to my grandmother's house. My brother had a copy of Chronicles (a Rush compilation album) on cassette, and was in the front of the car, so he popped it in the stereo. Red Sector A is officially the song that turned me into a Rush fan - a song about the Holocaust, as it turns out. On the way home, I asked my brother to play that song "with the shuffling skeletons" again. I was hooked.
    From there, I had Rush in my ears in my Walkman to deliver papers (like I said: mid-40s!) every day. I started finding every album I could find, and I was just absolutely hooked. Songs about truth, inequality, hope, spun together by four of the finest musicians to grace the planet, helped me through a very difficult time in my life...just the first four decades or so, but I think my 50s are looking up!
    Now, I say four of the finest musicians, and not three, due to a minor correction: the drummer on Working Man is John Rutsey, who was the original drummer for the band. For medical reasons, he couldn't tour to support the first album, and Geddy Lee (vocals, bass) and Alex Lifeson (Guitars) needed a replacement. They would go on to find Neil Peart (pronounced peert, rhyming with ear, as stated by the man himself) and be blown away by his drumming. I saw you guys floored by the drums on Rutsey's Working Man - Rush was lucky enough to have two amazing drummers, not just one. Unfortunately, neither of those drummers are with us any more, and are laying down thicc beats in the afterlife.
    As for my recommendation, it is out of the realm of what people usually suggest. I would listen to two songs: "Here Again" from their first self-titled album, Rush; and "The Garden" from their final studio album, Clockwork Angels. Both of these songs are extremely soulful, and the two songs not only show the amount of technical skill they gained from decades of writing and touring, and showcase the talents of both Neil Peart and John Rutsey, and also the maturity of Geddy Lee's vocals, but the progression of Alex Lifeson's solo work as well. The solo in both of these songs show that this man has deep feels that he needs to pour out of his guitar, and I get goosebumps every single time I listen to either one of them. The Garden also features a full string orchestra, which they toured with, and I was lucky enough to see live...it was amazing.
    If you decide to react to The Garden, consider using this video. It shows them live, with the orchestra, and is absolutely incredible.

    Good to see you back on Rush...it's been too long! Open that book!!
    The Morse code notifier for Toronto International Airport is YYZ, Rush's home. They were flying back home to Toronto and when they came into Toronto's airspace they heard the morse code and Neil thought it would make a great rhythm and that is what starts YYZ(ed). At the very beginning when you hear the symbols, that is the morse code for Toronto Airport. The rest came when Neil and Geddy were just jamming and then Alex came in and infused his guitar in it and the rest is history. They love to play this song because it's about coming home and really showcases their talent without any lyrics. Also...Canadians and Europeans call "Z" Zed (Zeeed). So, it's called YYZed.
    Since you are in the entertainment industry I really think you would enjoy and get into the lyrics of THE SPIRIT OF RADIO and LIMELIGHT, both songs about dealing with the music industry and fame. If you liked the instrumental, probably their best, IMO, is LA VILLA STRANGIATO. Rush said it is extremely complex and difficult to play. It is oh so good!! It's a 10 min song and worth every minute!!

    Great reaction guys. That was fun to watch and listen to. Although not all their songs are Prog, Rush is famous for switching things up just when you think you have it figured out. I recommend the song La Villa Strangiato next. It’s another instrumental that I’m sure you will love.

    Geddy Lee lead vocals, bass, keyboards. I was really hoping you would do YYZ live because that always led into Neil X-Peart’s drum solo. You need to do 2112 and do all parts of 2112. Basically it’s a mini concept album within an album. Alas, there will be no more seeing Rush live again. They had retired, which I’m sure knowing now that they did it in preparation for Neil’s departure from this earth. I guess they’d known for the last three years about his brain cancer but kept out completely under wraps. Wish I would have known, I would have definitely tried harder to seen them one last time, which would have made it number nine. Neil’s drum solo live was truly a life changing experience, absolutely no exaggeration. He was #1, now he’s gone which leaves Danny the heir apparent.

  • @gbh8939

    "YYZ" is structured in the following arrangement: A-B-C-B-A. The song starts with the YYZ Morse Code played by Peart on the crotales (A). The guitar and bass join this pattern, using the dissonant interval of the tritone to distinguish Morse Code dots and dashes. The guitar and bass render the code by playing the root note of C for the "dashes" and the tritone F# for the "dots". The synthesizer melody played over this arrangement is an example of the Locrian mode. In live performances, the synthesizer part is played by bassist/keyboardist Geddy Lee using a foot-pedal MIDI controller (Korg MPK-130 & Roland PK-5) while he simultaneously plays the bass part. After two cycles of the melody, the synth ceases, and the bass drops one octave, the introduction ending on the guitar, bass, and drummer making hits on only the "dashes". A brief rest follows, before the next section.
    The next section features the guitarist, bassist, and drummer playing up- and down-scale runs for several measures, in unison. The next pattern follows a verse structure, going from an F#m9 chord to a Am9 chord, then back to an F#m9, then to a Am9 again. Alex Lifeson plays another riff along with a F#m9 chord, where the bassist plays supporting bass notes. The chord structure goes from a F#m9, to a C altered dominant chord. This cycle of riffs repeats twice.
    In the next section (C), the guitar provides structure with rhythmic B major and C7 chords, with the bass and drum trading fills at the end of each cycle. After the final, extended drum fill, the guitar plays an oriental scale oriented solo in B Phrygian Dominant. The solo climaxes with a guitar run, followed by a synthesizer break. Following this section, the song returns to the arrangement established earlier in the song, after which it ends in a musical run combining bass and drums (with the guitar sustaining its last note from the previous section), a short reprise of the tritone section from the beginning held at the end according to a fermata, and finally, a short run in unison by bass, guitar, and drums to close the song.

    Hahaha. I'm glad you guys had fun with this one. It is definitely a funky tune. Rush are musical nerds as much as Tool. Neil is one of Danny's influences. His nickname is "The Professor". Incredible drummer. Geddy Lee (whether you like his voice or not) is a beast. He's on vocals, bass, and keyboard. He makes a lot of "top xx rock bassists" lists frequently. And of course, Alex is a force of his own on guitar. This is a very quirky prog rock band. Lots to enjoy!! Oh, I'd recommend Subdivisions next.

    This experience watching you guys is really cool for me. I'm 60 years old and have played in a progressive trio since I was 20. It is not easy to do! I dare say we're pretty good but having said that, we were all influenced by Rush as so many bands have been. Rush taught us that we could deviate and create songs with odd time signatures that the listener could still latch onto and relate to. Listen to the song limelight. They use 4/4 time 7/8 time and 6/4 time. It all flows seamlessly. Huge inspiration on myself and the other two members of my trio. They have at this point I believe 40 records, or CDs as they call them these days. Massive library of evolution in terms of musical tastes and lyrical themes. All of them are killer players. I encourage you to delve deeper into them. Keep up the good work guys! I really enjoy your approach to listening to music and your open-mindedness to a variation of styles. Love it

That’s it! Three!! No mixing, no dubbing, just three of the top of their field pushing the sensors of the time to the limit!!! Listen to “Trees” it’s a true testament to all talents of the trio of hard rock(rush strolls through all genres of rock) think of it as joe Montana, Barry Sanders, and Lynn Swan against the world in football.
