EDIT on 4/5/09: It is an honor to have this video posted on MusicRadar.com's interview with Alex Lifeson! www.musicradar.com/news/guitar... - Hudba
Rush has got to be one of the best bands ever, probably the best, and this is one of their best songs... And a great recording of it... I think its just fantastic!! :)
Best band ever, best rock drummer, Best rock bassist and one of the most influential guitar players :)
Seen This Tour
Heard once one of my favourite tunes 30 year's later.
This is by FAR the best live version of this song!!
While it's impossible to identify Alex's best guitar solo, this "Kid Gloves" solo is one of those WTF did I just hear ? WTF did Alex just do ? moments. I've never seen or, until now, heard a live version of this song. This live version does not disappoint. Thanks for posting this gem.
I honestly believe this should have been their biggest hit. So beautiful.
Yall got that right 🫡
It's unbelievable and totally believable that they pulled this song off live. Simply amazing.
This is a rare one. I never thought I would hear "Kid Gloves" live. They never played it in their later tours.
Last played on ‘84s Grace tour except for a rare cameo here and there.
Solo is just outstanding. Snaky, windy and fluid.
Agreed. Probably my favorite Alex solo.
Alex has said it's his favorite solo to play. Mysterious why this song never returned to the set list.
This is a totally wicked guitar solo. Not enough credit given!
@@SuperUrsusmaritimus I really doubt he said it's his favorite solo to play
@@kennyplay5982 he's definitely said it's one of his favourites, with emotion detector being his top favourite solo he's written. i can't find anywhere he has said his favourite to play though
I saw them play this for the first time ever at Radio City Music Hall NYC, it was the warm up short tour they do before going into the studio. They also did Distant Early Warning and Red Sector A and spread most of the album out along the 5 nights they were there. What a show that was.
Damn! I've never heard a live version of this song before. They absolutely tear through it as well and Alex's lead break is scorching.
Rush will always have a very warm and dear spot in my heart. They were the whole reason for me to start taking music lessons and to become a professional musician. This album was monumental. The day it came out was also the day I was able to buy tickets for my first Rush concert at the Los Angeles Forum. Seems like yesterday! Can't believe it's been 35 years
Mark D'Ambrosio was my second Rush show at the Forum. Bad ass concert.
Chris Dominguez I was at that show! Fantastik Rush concert. I remember during Neils solo the laser the went in a circle super fast around his drum kit! That was 1984
this has to be the most "studio" like live recording I've heard by rush (or anyone!!) absolutely astounding musicianship.
This should have been their biggest single.
Geddy had said in one of the many rockline interviews they did that they had such high hopes for this album but it kinda fell flat with people. Theres plenty of rush fans that love GUP but i think rush expected it to have more commercial success than it did.
Grace Under Pressure is one of four Rush albums I could never live without. Thank you Geddy, Alex and Neil
Me too....my 5 favs are Hemispheres thru Grace Under Pressure!
At first I thought this was the studio recording being passed off as live, WOW!
Straight off the PA. Rush recorded almost every concert.
What a fantastic song. This band, among the all-time greats, never fails to deliver!
Ahh, back when they were young and exploding with energy.
I've always loved the Grace Under Pressure album, but felt that the drum mix on the album did Neil's playing no justice. But the live recordings of Grace material from that era smoke the studio versions...like this one! Thanx for posting. If only they had included this song on the Grace Under Pressure Tour '84 video!!!
I was in the same seat in 2nd Row Center Floor for three straight nights in Toronto for this tour. They shot the Grace Under Pressure concert video all around us and needless to say it was totally unbelievable how great these guys were live every single night. The greatest band and live band of all time.
This is my all-time favorite Rush song, and I've never heard them play it live, even on the p/g tour (my first of 8). Gah! Thanks for posting.
Ditto bro.
they only played it from September onwards during the Grace tour, before that it was Afterimage iirc
Definitely one of the greatest Rush tunes. Avid fan since 1981 ( I know I started late )
you think thats late? i started after neil died...
My favorite Rush album.
The Who
Yes
Rush
Greatest bands and most certainly greatest Live bands.
I’m so glad I wasn’t born in any other time. Unmatched excitement !
Hallelujah
Just love the solo, great song, never played or appreciated, thanks for the memories!
Top song. These guys write and play such brilliant music.
best solo alex ever wrote. and he wrote some monster solos
And Between the wheels too , same album
Rush... is Rush!!! God bless Rush! The best rock band of all times...
One of my all-time favorite Rush songs! I never thought I'd hear a live version of this. Thanks so much!
Nice! I've always wanted to hear this live. Grace Under Pressure is probably my favorite Rush Album.
I desperately miss Neil and RUSH! Happy they were here, sad that they are gone!
One of the best guitar riffs ever and just an Amazing solo!!!! This song is one of their Best!!!
As raw as this is, i love it. It's not studio, but its got all the energy this song conveys. I wish I got to see this performance. I said it before - great song!
I was at this show! Still have the ticket.
Schenker opened! Excellent time, of course.
@@seamus2112ophelan That is wonderful!
AL's solo on this is one of his best.
Thanks for posting a live a version of my favorite Rush song!
@ Michael Fulmer - I am so impressed that you REMEMBERED being there! As I say - I have BEEN to 45 Rush concerts....I have SEEN 35.
What did you just write. Alex hasn't sounded like anyone, EVER. He is by far the most underrated guitar player today. His sound has always progressed with the music of that time. I would assume by the user name you like Rush, but to make that comment seems to me very uneducated on everything RUSH. Just sayin.
such a good song..
Lifeson's second favorite solo!
wow, this was my first rush show, 9/27/84 at the Capital Center, the audio here is awesome. thanks! i want it!~
The guitar solos on Grace Under Pressure are soooo good - Kid Gloves and The Body Electric, amazing!
One of the greatest Rush songs. This is a great recording of a great song!
I love RUSH so much.
Uniqe songs...
Great lyrics by the geniouse Mr Peart..
Uniqe guitar playing by Mr Alex ..and Great high vocals by Mr Gedy Lee and Fast Bass playing ..sense of some blues, reagge ..rock..art rock..
Sentizisers..
Just wow....♥️♥️♥️🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Sweet! Finding this one live is tough.
That was exciting to hear and remember as my 1st rush concert at the Worcester Centrum. A classic thar Rush only played once live.
My favorite guitar solo.....thanks for posting!
I'm glad Alex fills in the synth parts with his guitar 😊
Yup, 5/4 and 4/4 interchanging. This is my favorite song with an irregular time signature for sure :D
such an awesome song
GREAT audio on this. Thanx for posting.
This has always been a favorite.. I’ve seen Rush 4 times and I’ve never seen them perform kid gloves
@SciMasterGeneral
I, too, was at this show. My first of two GUP shows!
I couldn't agree more! I want this song on the Clockwork Angels tour setlist! :)
I completely agree with you. My favorite guitar sound of his is the 80's, but the thing about a progressive band like Rush is that they keep progressing. If they do one thing for too long, it gets stale or old. Rush moves with the trends, but make it original at the same time.
wish i could have heard this live!!!
I love this song!
Awesome song,could see them bringing it back on their next tour.
esta cancion pocas veces escuchada en directo. few times I listened on live this song.
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!
This is SUCH a great performance of this song!
I am soooo crunk now!
amazing song
o rush é perfeito sem palavras...
"Anger got bare knuckles
Anger play the fool
Anger wear a crown of thorns
Reverse the golden rule
Then you learn the lesson
That it's tough to be so cool"
...or...passive aggression...
Perfect!!!
What an amazing band. Everything they did was GOLD
Yo! I'll be at that Aug 13th show as well. Caught them in Toronto last month! Can"t wait!!!
Has anyone here played live? This was before in-ear monitors giving them the tempos. You get hyper and musicians generally always play faster live (it's not done consciously, it just happens). Usually 15-20% faster actually
True, but in-ears don't "give them the tempos" per se. They give each musician a custom mix of what that person needs to hear in order to perform the song. There are only a handful of tunes in their entire catalog where Neil plays to a click live. And even then, Geddy & Alex don't have the click in their ears. Even on songs with tons of keyboard samples, Neil just has the experience and practice to know what tempo to play. When one of them triggers a sample that has a tempo, Neil hears it and adjusts if he needs to (he's said as much in multiple interviews).
It's only those songs where there's tons of sequencing (The Weapon, Red Sector A) or a video element that requires sync (Roll The Bones skeleton rap, Time Stand Still with Aimee Mann in video) that Neil plays to a click. In the older concert films, you can tell which ones because he wears a giant pair of headphones.
Not flaming, just clarifying :)
Really cool thanks for clarifying. I had no clear idea how in-ears worked. I'm a drummer myself who relies on stage monitors and it can be tricky to hear everyone and get my levels right. Yeah Neil is an impressive guy
+Charles Simpson I have played live a lot and that always happens to me
Charles Simpson seems like they played it exactly as intended
Part of it here is that the tape playback is fast. I can tell that they're not on 440 here, so I'm sure that's partly tape. But yes, Rush did often speed up live, especially in the 70s
Smokin ❤
great version
Just another reminder why this my favorite band!
Hall of Fame!
Killersong!
dang! soo fast! still an awesome song :D
Audio is great !
They should play it at every show, because it's an awesome song.
He's not off. The riff is in 5/8 time so the rhythm sounds uneven.
1-2-3-4-5, 1-2-3-4-5. With the emphasis (*snare) on 1-*-3-*-*, 1-*-3-4-*
"A world of indifference"
Then 4/4 time comes in at the line "Call it blind frustration.
Also, Alex's delay was set to a fast tempo...when you play notes between the delay like he does, you're stuck with the tempo otherwise the effect doesn't work right. Either they planned it that way, or they were stuck with an unintentionally fast tempo.
That's all 100% correct except the time signature, which is 5/4, but honestly that only impacts how it's notated. It's just easier to notate it in 5/4 than it would be in 5/8. You could do it in 5/8 and play it at half the tempo and it'd be the same song but that notation would just be more complicated.
Whatever Rush do, they do it with a steely yet light hearted precision.
So rare to even here this another great songs by Neil peart...
badass....
I like this version so, so much better than the studio version. Rush almost always sounds so much better live.
I’m glad I got to see them even once. 😊
i wish i was at that concert
There must be no known video footage of them playing this tune live.
Yeah, one of my top 10 Rush songs. Not on any live album or video. Only this recording.
Rush may not be your favorite band but they’re probably your favorite bands favorite band.
Awesome... one of their best songs... best intros anyways.
Talented musicians anyway you look at it, even if you're not a die-hard fan.
The drum intro is so awsome
Unas de las mejores banda de rock
still sounds damn good
They are now!
These was some bad boys
I love the speed of the song live, much faster than the official release cd.
And Neil's is killing it with his punchy snare drum.
In the Signals tour RUSH also superfast tempo.
Ha, I was at that show. The old Capitol Centre
so lucky
Me too
Tough to be so cool 😎.
I was 18.
audio is awesome
wish they would have released this.
@TheBgaddy love to you.
I heard that Superman, Aquaman and Green Lantern are long-time fans of Rush. Its cool that some of the Superfriends are into Rush.
Criss que cé bon!
This song is 90 mph and Neil is keeping up like the champ that he is........oops; the champ that he was. I just can’t believe he’s gone.
@fendergibs You have a point there!
@fendergibs also for your enjoyment here is the title of the video here on YT. Camera eye at Red Rocks last summer. "Rush "The Camera Eye" Red Rocks 8/16/2010 - Time Machine Tour " search the title, just copy/paste.
Why isn't there a concert video of this song? I always loved this song despite it being long forgotten by many except for hardcore Rush fans.
For whatever reason, Kid Gloves just didn't survive long term like Distant Early Warning did. And you also have the fact that Subdivisions, from the same era, aged incredibly well and remained a fan and band favorite forever. With just 3 hour shows, lol, and what, 173 original songs to choose from?, well some can't make the final set list....... I often wished that Rush would have done a tour where they'd have simply skipped ALL the standards = no Tom Sawyer, no TSOR, no Limelight...none of that, and just do an entire show of the "less loved" yet still awesome songs. Sadly, that never did nor never will happen now.
@@foxriverpwc4723 That would have been great:
Lessons
In the End
The Necromancer
Before and After
The Twilight Zone
Circumstances
Making Memories
Entre Nous
Vital Signs
Losing It
Kid Gloves
Emotion Detector
Second Nature
Presto
Available Light
Heresy
Alien Shore
The Color of Right
Ghost Rider
Hope
Anything off of CW
That's an entire show right there!
Kid Gloves sounds so incredibly difficult that I can’t imagine trying to play it. I’m no musician but this doesn’t sound easy with that odd meter.
No mistakes perfect
@fendergibs PLaying Moving Pictures in full in order was a great idea and was amazing live. Hearing The Camera Eye in person on opening night and other shows was better than those you listed. Not that hearing those would have been ok. Considering they were not exactly on promo tour for the new album. BU2B sounds great as studio but it was was great live. Clockwork Angels will be another great work. I have not seen Kid Gloves live, but seen the others. Camera Eye stole the show.
Grace under pressure, sooo underrated
@fendergibs Snakes and Arrows is a fantastic work. If Clockwork Angels follows Caravan and BU2B singles with this epic production it could be greater yet. As for using the term "flops' better check out some of the most successful tours in recent years and dont forget they are still in the top four for most consecutive gold albums. NOt only do they produce the quality studio album, they come out and do what they do live. Attendance also speaks for itself.
cool
@fendergibs The Camera Eye was played all last year during the playing of the entire Moving Pictures album in sequence. I only made 3 shows last year. To say it hasn't been played live in 15 years is inaccurate. They played it live all over the country last year and Europe and South America. You missed out I guess. They are touring again this spring with 13 shows then Europe and back into the US. Opening night in Florida on March 30. Seen 48 shows myself since 1982. Watch Camera EYE on YT.
Hey Fendergibs - Go see the Time Machine Tour. 3 hour show including the entire Moving Pictures album, plus some wayback songs from every album in the catalog including, yes some of the newer stuff. You show open your mind and give the new stuff a few more listens, they are still making great music after 40 years.
@younggotribe yes I did at Mohegan Sun. The MP part was the best 35 min or so I have ever seen in concert, it flowed so well and the crowd was electrified. The Camera eye, a song I never thought they would play live again was probe the best song by any band that I have seen live. Since 1990 they put out some ok material, since 2000 it been unlistenable, except for a few tracks off S&A.
my main point is why play filler when u have 1st rate stuff to play from 77-87. play what 90% to hear .
