Summary:
Few rock bands that emerged in the 1970s have achieved career longevity until the present day. One of the notable exceptions is the hard rockin' Canadian trio Rush. The group's 1974 self-titled debut and the follow-up album Fly By Night, issued the following year, created a buzz among heavy rock aficionados, but little else. The third album, Caress Of Steel, found the band beginning to create a hard-edged form of progressive rock (quite unlike its British progressive-rock counterpart) that confused as many fans as it gained. The breakthrough would finally occur upon the release of Rush's fourth album, 2112 in March of 1976. An ambitious concept album that explored a dystopian future, with lyrics influenced by the philosophical writings of Ayn Rand, 2112 found Rush striking a new balance between heavy and progressive rock that established all three members as highly accomplished instrumentalists. Arguably the band's signature album, 2112 would be lambasted by critics, yet gained the band a rabid global following that remains strong to the present day.
Presented here is Rush recorded live at The Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ at the tail end of 1976, just nine months after the release of 2112. Performing choice selections from their first four albums, this concert provides a nice overview of the group's early years, just as they were beginning to break big. From the raging opener of "Bastille Day" to the encore pairing of "Fly By Night" and "In The Mood," this performance is a prime example of these three musicians vacillating between the heavy metal leanings of their first two albums and the more ambitious material from Caress Of Steel and 2112.
Also featured here are strong renditions of "Anthem," another Ayn Rand influenced composition from their second album and the autobiographical "Lakeside Park" from their third, conveying a slightly softer side to the group. However, the centerpiece of this performance is unquestionably the epic title track from 2112. Clocking in at a full 16 minutes, here the band is clearly shifting into more complex compositions and the more eclectic sci-fi lyrical leanings that would capture the imaginations of millions. It was performances like this that won Rush such a dedicated following, which continues to pack arenas every time Rush takes to the road.
Rush: The Metal "Yes"
wow - never thought of that in forty years, but I reckon you're spot on. 'Relayer' aside, of course... ;-)
And/or genesis
The birth of Prog Metal in film
@@scottshields113 Yup, especially this song
:)
Can you imagine Rush opening for another band during the 70's? Imagine the other band having to follow this awesomeness!!!
It happened with Kiss
My 1st concert...I saw Rush open for Kansas at the Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ Mar 12 1977. All the World's a Stage Tour! I was blown away. Kansas was nice too.
@@MellowCorn-xs8bn A guy I work with claims he was there for the very first show and Kiss was booed. lol Not sure I believe he was actually there, but love the idea of Kiss being booed! lol
They were eating Rush's dust, for sure.
I believe they opened for Blue Öyster Cult the first time I saw them. It was a tri-bill with Angel as the concert opener. I know Rush also opened for Kiss in the 70’s as well.
CARESS OF STEEL was a very misunderstood album upon it's release September 24th 1975..and yes it almost ended Rush's career at the time... But to the eyes and ears of any hardcore RUSH fan it is their most underrated album!!
I totally agree.
CARESS OF STEEL is so KILLER! I view Fountain of Lamneth as their Magnum Opus, even considering 2112 or Hemispheres ( which are a VERY close second...:) ) Killer Lerxst 12 string guitar jamming...No one at the Bridge, or Panacea... FORGETABOUTIT...I get a little choked up thinking of how many "rushheads" Don't even mention that song...Pfft; They may as well listen to ACDC...
Im a rap artist and im influenced by these guys is that odd they are just the best and made me wanna do music i was 17 18 when rush inspired me to write then layer freinds said i should add a rap twist but nothing to deep
Their most underrated album and also one of their best! One of my all-time favorite albums! I was at this show in 1976, they also touched on 2112 as I recall... The full concert is on CZcams. Shame it's in black & white.
Carres Of Steel and Fly By Night are so underrated
A part of my childhood died RIP Neil Peart
Ged's voice could cut diamonds back then
I saw this tour. Two words, fuckin' awesome.
You're lucky. I was like 10 years old.
I've seen Rush 7 times. My first was the Signals Tour.
+karlmores65 you're lucky to have seen Rush at all :/
+karlmoles65 haha I was 2
Too true.
You are so lucky to have been there! If I could just go back in time to see that particular concert live! I was 12 years old then, it would have been so cool.
Every year I post this video to my Facebook feed on Bastille Day. 😁🇫🇷👍
IN all those years, Dirk and Lerxst never lost their playfulness on stage.
Sadness for Neil Peart, great drummer and man, his texts were always an authentic added value... Honour to the Rush, they left the scene without clamour or sensationalisms and now they show themselves as exceptional persons...
Man i'd blow up the entire world if it meant I could see Rush Live in person in the 1970s.
I did, first time in 1976. Cheap Trick opened and was booed off the stage! Chicago/Riviera Theatre
Well I was lucky as I grew up younger than them but in my neighborhood, Saw them 4 times Maple leaf Gardens, twice with April Wine and twice with Max Webster( another great Canadian Band but never made it in the USA).
@@jamiepastman5594 okaaay tryna make us jealous 🙄😪
My first concert is Rush on 5 Jan 1978. Opening band was April Wine.
Yes, I saw them a few times back then, you have to realize there were many more top shelf bands like this, the epic bands would just roll through town on a regular basis, they all had a whole lot of competition, the talent seemed to feed off each other, they all had to improve to survive, but Rush was def one of the elite top bands, NO DOUBT!
Happy Bastille Day 2024!
I saw this show. I remember it vividly because it was 2 days after my Birthday. What a gift!
Those of us who seen them at the start can truly appreciate what
they became…and what we lost…N/P :(
Classic Rush. Love this song! Neil just crushes Bastille Day. This was a precursor to how amazing the band would become.
Whaddya mean a precursor to greatness? They were already great!!
@mikehoskins56 As dedicated Rush fans, we already knew they were amazing. What followed was Rush touring in different countries and gaining fans all over the world. Canada has tons of great bands but not every one gets to expand beyond our borders. Texas King is a London Ontario band I really hope to see get the recognition they deserve. Their upcoming tour with Big Wreck will take them into the States. Check them out.
There isn’t a single song Neil doesn’t crush.
Imagine being the dude sitting in the background waiting for a technical problem or to switch out Alex' guitar. Has the best view and job in the world.
Roadie sitting on the speaker has the best seat in the house.
Bastille Day, one of my favorite riffs ever!!
This is the first song that expanded me beyond my beginning bass learning, beyond Kiss & Stones. (a whole new world for me)
Now, at ~40 years later, after a recent stroke during an unrelated abdominal surgery, I’m having to start all over as far as my left hand is concerned (as those fingers are numb), and this song is my next major goal/milestone. Life is a circle, I guess.
Thanks for the recurring inspiration, guys! I really miss Neal and you all.
Happy Rush Day everyone! 21/12
This is the Rush I remember with the most affection
October 28, 1975 was my first time seeing Rush. They played at Randy’s Rodeo in San Antonio, Texas. It was their Caress of Steel Tour and they opened with this song. I was about six feet from Geddy. My favorite album heavy and raw. My favorite song The Necromancer. Neil, you will be missed.
I was there, opened for Kansas. Great show...
was wondering who they opened for...was guessing UFO
Interesting, I figured it was Kiss.
Mr. Neil Peart, Professor... Peace to your soul, sir!!
Always loved this track and Caress of Steel album.
I was at this show. One of the first rock concerts I ever went to. This was the 2112 tour. It was incredible. Saw the A Farewell to Kings tour after this then Hemispheres. I saw them 5 times in all from 1976 to 1980. Awesome every time.
Happy Bastille Day 2018!!!
Also the 10 thumbs down can go fuck yourselves
One of their greatest songs.
I WAS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a concert!!!
I was in Corpus..The Ritz Theater!
corpus here, but i was a baby, my mom said they left this show with some band named Rush because they had to go to a party. i wish i knew more about this. is this at the Ritz?
Montrose was up next. . . Then Foghat
You were so lucky to be there
RIP Neil!
What a sound! Back then tehy were at the peak of their musicanship and power! Really raw and angry.
It sounds angry but it's only three friends having fun playing music (and that's why I love Rush)
Thank you Canadian Beethoven. This song is the gospel of the Maple Leaf. Music that will live forever.
3:08 its a must repeat! its like a heart pumping moment! love rush song!!
What can you say except brilliant; brings back many happy memories.
great performance
Simply awesome
you can hear the superior talent emerging.
Man when Geddy could sing!
Effortless. Such a beutuiful thing. But after 40 years, it took its toll.
My first ever gig was Rush on the Farewell To Kings tour at the Glasgow Apollo in the 70's. Totally amazing, been a lifelong fan ever since 🤘🤘
FANTASTIC
that cover was spot on.
RIP! :(
RIP Professor
:)..Thanks for the upload...I was 16 on this tour...This music was sent by some kind of a godlike dude for we teens back in those days...Oh, and Sabbath too...:)...So much great music and musicians in the 70's in the primes of their careers...Thank the "godlike dude" for youtube! It all went through philly...
That's a tight performance - love this band!!
sim0n17 when you've got the best drummer the world has ever produced, 'tight' isn't an issue.
O Rush foi um fenômeno musical incomparável! A inspiração e competência de seus músicos é extraordinário!
My favorite song of all time since I heard it on "All The World's a Stage" in 1976. Thank you for capturing this amazing performance.
I love this band so much ❤
Love this song
So much energy and raw potential back then! What an exciting time!
Listening on Bastille Day
Love Rush!! Yes!!
😢😢. RIP NEIL
Mon 1er album acheté à Londres à Noël 1975... et toujours un de mes préférés !
They used this footage from Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage. So Awesome!
RUSH are legend. So sad they no longer tour...
simply amazing
As a Canadian. I can only say holy fuck. Could be one of the best pieces of rock music ever.
Geddy Lee looked like Daniel Radcliffe with long hair
Love his bass playing
Happy Bastille Day!
Who's watching this July 14
July 24 2024
I'm born on 7/14/70 Florida boy no one owned Florida in those days like Rush in South Florida my brother was 7 years older I grew up with Moving Pictures hearing Witch Hunt on the way to the bus stop with A Walkman on in the dark. Rush was there own infinity a well written fictional gaze into mythology well written and guided by three boys that loved just being Canadian and honest to a vibe
Rush is awesome! I must say, I think Triumph and Rush had the same choreographer in the beginning, at least! Triumph rocks too! Canada's got it go'in on!
when i was growing up....yea , RUSH or TRIUMPH ? CANADA does got it going on. Just wish ppl would remeber. Canada has alot of talent... Alex Trebec..lol
Allied force s
Rush is so much better than Triumph...
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Two of the best trios in existence
Great sound.
This seems like a sound board recording with minimal clean up (like a Betty Board for you Dead Heads) - These guys are (were) so dedicated to striving for perfection even live, though one can never reach perfection. Neil Peart's lyrics always made me think about and evaluate my values and world view. Though I have not agreed with his complete view on the spiritual and God, through his interviews and some of his lyrics, I have major respect for him in his song writing. Many of his songs were short stories, but that is only news to you if you have not heard them before. Rest In Peace, Neil.
That was fucken awesome how Getty used to sing!! when they first started!!
I think he peaked around 1988. He got more control until then, then started losing range.
*Geddy
Arturo Portillo His voice is the worst thing about this. Sounds like a thirteen year old girl.
Anon B lmao stfu
Anon B sounds like a POS troll
I saw the 77' Tour with Max Webster opening the show! Riverside Theater Milwuakee WI. Tickets Cost $7.50 went to see them 35 times since! totally agree vchip57

Obrigado Rush ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I was blessed to see them twice ,NW Indiana.....Fly By Night tour in 75....and they also played this Bastille Day as opening song.They also blew away Areosmith that night....then i saw them in 78 durring 2112 tour.Neil had this black chrome kit both times.RIP Neil
HAPPY BASTILLE DAY EVERYBODY
Each one confident in what the other one's going to do next...And there you have it folks, practice
Oh that drumming! 1:51
The talent on show here is absolutely other-worldly.....
Neil Peart forever!
This is the concert I wish I could go back in time to be a true part of, to witness it Live would have been so rewarding and cool.
Saw this tour in Seattle. Lined up outside the Paramount we heard them repeatedly rehearse the intro as it was the show opener. Loved the first four records...then punk rock blew my skirt up!
Awesomeness!
So much awesome music happened in 1976 well the 70s period and I was there a teenager in the 70s and no decade no music can compare. 70s music is what's glorified forever even if it's from Carpenters to John Denver. I found I loved hard rock/heavy metal early on and Rush were so amazing I played All The Worlds a Stage on 8 track to pieces. Saw them open for Blue Oyster Cult
Neil Peart SUPERB !
Masters ....
Love this. Geddy and Neil have always had such good rhythm section interplay, even from their early days like this video.
As humble as they were great. And very relevant for today. Power isn't all that money buys.
I was there! They blew Kiss off the stage!!
Always liked this song I saw Rush before they had any albums
First time i saw RUSH was in London Ontario on A Farewell to Kings tour. i think it was 1977 or '78, i don't know who opened for them i think it was Prism (Spaceship Superstar).....good time to be a kid and just getting into music.
sean o'connor you saw them at Hammersmith Odeon theather? Now the concert is avaliable in the new album Farewell to Kings(40th Edition).
wish i was there
Love the rowdy sitting on the amp case....best seat in the house
Early Rush is still so awesome!
Good honest live performances God bless 'em
Lo mejor de música gracias Rush
Its all there. Rush is Truth.
Daamn black and white rush looking fresh
Bastille Day !! Down with their heads!!
I loved my 70's flair bottom jeans. What a beatnik!
Headlong Flight riff right there. Never gets old
Clássico demais, amo esse som!!!❤👊🏾
Joyeux Jour de la Bastille 2015! #bastilleday So many thanks for posting!
... f*****'-a this is gnarly dude... I love the lyric.. Power isn't all that money buys... common people watch out for the rich and Powerful overlords they'll always be there keeping an eye out for them... Peace
Aw Jeez! This is good :D
