Ken Molitor me neither. I actually didn’t start listening to rush until a few months ago and I had no idea he passed. I am also a drummer and I thought he was so good so I told my dad and he broke the news to me
I read Neil's Ghost Rider after he passed and I totally identified with so many of his feelings...not the gut-wrenching grief and despair he experienced but a lot of what he expressed during his journey. In turn, I've listened to a lot of their music, watched interviews and videos and have become a big fan. I always appreciated their great musicianship but never listened much...that has changed! 😁🤘🏽
I regret never getting my ass to one of their concerts. I've seen Triumph, April Wine, The Payolas, and a hungry young Bryan Adams at Lansdowne Park warming up for Loverboy. What is with the laundromat though? I have so many questions. Whose laundry is it, are they real machines if the interior lights up while the clothes are going around. Are those bottles of detergent on top of the machines, and who is that guy in the black t-shirt, calmly folding shirts in the middle of YYZ? Someone has an exquisite sense of humour.
I'm freaking crying right now. stupid cancer. stupid disease taking away all the talented people we have here. "Exit Stage left" is playing on my tv set, a cold beer on my hand and a pair of drumsticks in the other one. We remember you, Neil. Long Live Rush.
I know it’s been a year since this comment, but he never died contrary to common belief. He simply transitioned to a realm where his drumming was no longer limited by only having two arms and legs
You have to be the absolute dumbest lowlife to call Alex anything other than great. Definitely underrated by music listeners, but to the professional critics, he’s in the top 100.
He makes playing ALONG WITH the other members of the band look easy and that is one part of his awesomeness. They are tight, and again it is an honour, blessing, just ‘good feeling’ having lived our lives in the same time period as these Masters, like the Mozarts & Bach’s future generations, decades away, will look back in awe.
A mixture of tone and effect on this song by Alex lifeson is just spectacular on guitar. The parts and solos hit your soul in a touching way. That clear sound is just absolutely wonderful
There have been quite a few over the years. They just do not come very often. Times changed and today technology gives you quite some options to make it a big show. Some people get lost in this all technology. Rush can play that is true.Jethro T. LZ, Queen from old days, stones that role do a great show too but even with their great skill and deep vaults of music it is somehow less entertaining. Surely there are modern bands doing the same. Only I do not know them :)
There's a lot o trios out there, but Rush and Cream are some of the best. RIP Neil Peart and Jack Bruce. Last year i said Neil Peart would have a long conversation with John Bonham (if he was alive) and then both would play drums together, now they're doing that somewhere in the afterlife.
40 yr drummer here. RIP Neil, you are still one of my favorite inspirations. Cant tell you the number of hours I've spent playing along with you and the band. Too many to count. Heartbroken right now. Tears in my eyes and flashbacks of years gone by pouring thru my soul. What a class act you were; and what a massive loss to the world of music you will be. Salute good sir.
That's because they got that out of there system in there early years. There was a time they wore some weird stuff on stage. There was even other bands who kind of picked on them about it.
When they toured with Kiss, Gene Simmons used to poke fun at them, when the show was over, they would be in their dressing rooms reading books, who does that !
Saw them in the 80s and again about 10 years ago - our kids’ first concert. All you can think of the whole time is...how can three people put out that much sound? Agree with the comments that they continued getting better with age. Hats off to the greatest 3-man band I’ve ever heard!
I am old enough to have seen from start to finish. The evolution of their music far outpaced ALL the 3 man competition. The finest musicians together I will ever have seen. RIP Mr. Peart and family, your music is the sound of heaven here now you have left for us , until we can hear you once again when it’s my turn.
Me too. Love them more now than then. However much it hurt me to hear Geddy's voice fade later on, they will always have a kitchen pass. I still wear a 2112 shirt regularly. Have you watched , Dinner with RUSH, here on YT? It's the best.. peace..
There is unrest in the Forest There is trouble with the trees For the Maples want more sunlight And the Oaks ignore their pleas. The trouble with the Maples (And they’re quite convinced they’re right) They say the Oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the Oaks can’t help their feelings If they like the way they’re made And they wonder why the Maples Can’t be happy in their shade? There is trouble in the Forest And the creatures all have fled As the Maples scream ‘Oppression!’ And the Oaks, just shake their heads So the Maples formed a Union And demanded equal rights ‘The Oaks are just too greedy We will make them give us light’ Now there’s no more Oak oppression For they passed a noble law And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, Axe, And saw…
mike mougakos Yeah! You’d think that Neil was drawing a correlation! Using trees to criticize extreme liberals! I’m a decent guitarist, but I don’t expect the wealth and fame of Alex Lifeson because I’m a maple guitarist and he’s an oak guitarist.
They did it the old fashioned way. Built it from the ground up, Touring 250 + dates a year, no MTV to make them stars before really earning it, honing their skills on the fly, and actually got better by working for it with humility and grace. A TRUE blue collar band that earned every bit of their successes. There will never be another like them EVER!
I totally understand all the hype about Neil and yes he was truly a master behind the kit. But I can't think of any other band were each member is truly a master of there instrument. I love listening to Alex's guitar playing. So smooth and easy going one sec and the next so hard and rocking. Geddy let's just say anyone who sings lead vocals while ripping on the bass or melodic on the keyboards while playing bass pedals all the while belting out Neil's lyrics. Man!
Polished and perfect. Their staying power is incredible. I love the nonchalance of the guy emptying the dryers, it adds to the grounding of a trio who connect with so many of us. Life tumbles on and though Neil Peart is no longer with us, these nuggets of live Rush sustain and maintain.
Glad I witnessed all the shows I did of theirs and this one twice. There will never be another band like this again. They honed their craft thru touring 250 days a year and striving for absolute perfection over 40+ years. What you saw was what you got. Nowadays bands want instant fame and it's too easy to make things appear perfect thru assistance with computers
So very happy I had the pleasure of seeing Rush on this very tour!! It was a 30th birthday gift from my brother & I was blow away how amazing they are live! Of course I've heard live recordings but LIVE live some bands are trash.. Rush was better live!! Absolutely insane show!!
RIP to author, poet, philosopher, professor, and Rock ‘n’ roll drum god Neil Peart. Lord knows that I’ve enjoyed air drumming along with Neil more than all other drummers combined. Neil, you influenced my life in countless positive ways. I hope you’re getting in some good asphalt therapy on the back roads of the cosmos. With your wife and daughter.
I've played drums in my younger years. When I first heard Rush in 1981 is was immediately floored by their music. That only happened to me once before when I heard Jimi Hendrix for the fist time. It was instant love. I saw Rush over 8 times down through the years. I even took my kids to see them as well. When I heard Neil on drums I said-why do I play? I knew I did not have the genetic potential that he had but the love of the drums was still there. Thank you Neil for the years of drum pleasure you have given me. I wish we could have had a verbal conversation but that's okay. You are one of a kind, an amazing person and an amazing drummer. Luckily I have a signed picture of you hanging in my office. I see you everyday. RIP
As for The Trees, I'm sure there's a second level to the song but just to think about trees arguing with one another is enough to engulf my imagination
How I know these guys are amazing: I don't like this kind of music at all, but holy crap can these guys play. The whole thing is at lightning speed for the first three minutes, with Lifeson playing like a madman, Peart surrounded by 347 drums, and playing all of them, and Lee switching back and forth between bass and keyboards and the guy doing his laundry was the icing on the cake.
RIP Mr. Peart. I began playing drums in 1989 at age 14. I only truly began playing drums in 1996 when i was introduced to Rush's Exit Stage Left and your drumming. You are sorely missed. Thank you. 🍀🍀
Я ещё в 9 классе , в 1981 году всем говорил, что это самая лучшая в мире команда. Сверстники и старшие меня не понимали , а мы со старшим братом понимали, брат Юрий записывал тогда эти концерты с пластинки 1974, 1977, потом я - 1978,76,80 и шедевр 1981 moving pictures. Затем Rush в 1982 поменяли стиль.
I only saw Rush 4 times in my life, but I was fortunate that my best buddy in Tampa got us 2nd row in front of Geddy for the R30 tour in 2004. I had not seen Rush in 20 years at that time. That show re-invigorated my inner high school teen love for rock-n-roll! I remember gazing around the stage in amazement when they played Villa Strangiato. I love knowing I'm part of a worldwide family of fans that just "get it". :)
I got to see Rush twice in their final years including Irvine Meadows at which they played the entire Moving pictures album in one set. So nice to see them live after all those years of their music running through my mind. Saw them again a year later at Honda Center in Anaheim.
You start out as one of the underrated bands in the 70s and you end up with one of the greatest drummers in the world what are the best guitarists and the best bass players how does that end up working out
The Trees! The tune that made me seek out the Roland Chorus when I was a wee lad. I had to save ALL of that lawn mowing money lol. RIP Mr. Peart, you will be missed.
Rush awesome guys, awesome thought provoking Lyrics...great Rock style, totally Canadiana ! Thanks for sharing your gifts with us, rest now sweet drummer boy..........come again..
This has been my most favorite Rush song ever since the album came out! As a bass player I was always practicing it trying to get it just right. The opening bass line is pure genius!

Welcome should try and pick up one of Neil books
Welcome aboard !! 👍👍
To whomever is here in 2020, you have a great taste of music
Had to watch today on Neil's birthday. Still can't believe he's gone.😢

He's having a drum contest with John Bonham , I bet it sounds incredible.

So beautiful. My husband passed this year and neil was his idol.
Sorry for your loss, hopefully he is chilling with Neil now!
I'm freaking crying right now. stupid cancer. stupid disease taking away all the talented people we have here. "Exit Stage left" is playing on my tv set, a cold beer on my hand and a pair of drumsticks in the other one. We remember you, Neil. Long Live Rush.

Neil Piert passed away, but he will never leave us. He is immortal. A Rock God. Unmatched. Into infinity.
🥁R.I.P. to the man the myth the legend … you will forever be missed Neil.. my idol…
Love you forever Professor
He was a gift to the world. A truly legend. And we are lucky to had him.
It's freaking unbelievable what "only" 3 musicians are able to do. Thanks for everything, Neil Peart, our Professor!
They are quite simply a 3 piece symphony orchestra
His kit looks like a damn NASA control console.
This music is made by 3 humans. Blows me away every time. Neil's kit shot from above...love.
Much respect for Neil's lyricism too!
They had help.
@@Moose803 Aliens? ;-)
@@countesssunshine satan, 3 mere humans can't make that much sound.

More people own a set of Neil Peart air drums than any other brand. He is with his wife and child now.
Nah, he is just dead.

@@henriquepboueri Tool.
@HenriquePuppoBoueri Yeah? And how do YOU know that?
Henny is just a troll, pay him no mind.
Alex lifeson is so underrated no love from the idiots that judge music. He is in my top 5
You have to be the absolute dumbest lowlife to call Alex anything other than great. Definitely underrated by music listeners, but to the professional critics, he’s in the top 100.
As a rock trio, this band is in my top 1.
FUCK YES!!!!!!!!

They are tight, and again it is an honour, blessing, just ‘good feeling’ having lived our lives in the same time period as these Masters, like the Mozarts & Bach’s future generations, decades away, will look back in awe.
Has Alex killed anyone with with his left pinky that we know of? I believe that pinky could beat many men in an arm wrestling contest.
A mixture of tone and effect on this song by Alex lifeson is just spectacular on guitar. The parts and solos hit your soul in a touching way. That clear sound is just absolutely wonderful
One of the few bands who can pull it off live, even sounding better than the studio versions :-) RUSH ON!!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!!!
MrMegaFredZeppelin ya they do all their songs live thats the tell between rockers & rock gods my fine mega friend 👍

0:39 - sounds pretty messy to me compared to studio version, at least Lifeson's part.
So true
There's a lot o trios out there, but Rush and Cream are some of the best.
RIP Neil Peart and Jack Bruce.
Last year i said Neil Peart would have a long conversation with John Bonham (if he was alive) and then both would play drums together, now they're doing that somewhere in the afterlife.
TRIUMPH!!!! The most underrated band in the world.
40 yr drummer here. RIP Neil, you are still one of my favorite inspirations. Cant tell you the number of hours I've spent playing along with you and the band. Too many to count. Heartbroken right now. Tears in my eyes and flashbacks of years gone by pouring thru my soul.
What a class act you were; and what a massive loss to the world of music you will be.
Salute good sir.
I love RUSH at 57 years old as much as I did when I was 16. 4 decades of riding the thailand express.
RIP to my all time favorite drummer😥
In tears tonight.... blessings to family, friends and fans 😢
🤘 Toronto Gal 🤘
They all seem to have no ego`s. They dress and act like the guys you see selling musical equipment in music stores.
Disbanded??? Omg
That's because they got that out of there system in there early years. There was a time they wore some weird stuff on stage. There was even other bands who kind of picked on them about it.
t guitar center emplyees are some of the most arrogant people ive ever met :p
Canadians.
When they toured with Kiss, Gene Simmons used to poke fun at them, when the show was over, they would be in their dressing rooms reading books, who does that !
Thank you for being there and playing amazing music all my adult life. So glad our paths crossed.

There is unrest in the Forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the Maples want more sunlight
And the Oaks ignore their pleas.
The trouble with the Maples
(And they’re quite convinced they’re right)
They say the Oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the Oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made
And they wonder why the Maples
Can’t be happy in their shade?
There is trouble in the Forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the Maples scream ‘Oppression!’
And the Oaks, just shake their heads
So the Maples formed a Union
And demanded equal rights
‘The Oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light’
Now there’s no more Oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw…
When I first heard this I thought the oaks and maples were actually human beings.
mike mougakos Yeah! You’d think that Neil was drawing a correlation! Using trees to criticize extreme liberals! I’m a decent guitarist, but I don’t expect the wealth and fame of Alex Lifeson because I’m a maple guitarist and he’s an oak guitarist.
3 guys, for over 3 decades, making awesome music, respect!
My eyes!! It's perfection and criativity in the music's soul. Wonderful band from Canada. Making the happiness grows up all long time.
They did it the old fashioned way. Built it from the ground up, Touring 250 + dates a year, no MTV to make them stars before really earning it, honing their skills on the fly, and actually got better by working for it with humility and grace.

Alex gets overshadowed by the brilliance of Neil and Geddy. But he is one of the most underrated guitar players ever ......
RIP to The Professor. I highly recommend his books if you haven't read any of them-- Specifically "Lone Rider"
It just doesn't get any BETTER than THIS My Friends!!! ;)
menom7. It sure as hell does not,friend👍
My son and I saw the R 40 Movie wed night it was awesome good crowd.
Actually it does get better than this... Wait till you wake up and realize you live on a flat plane as the devil is hiding our creator 🙏
one of the few songs from any band that gives me goose bumps..... if it's too loud... you're too old
An impossible arrangement. Mind numbing expertise, this trio is in a league of their own.
Alex proved to us all just how truly fierce a Tele can be
Rest easy, Neil. Such an inspiration to me as a kid playing set.
2023 - 01-25. I heard this song when it first came out and now again. IT NEVER GETS OLD!

I waited until today to pay my respects. One of the greatest drummers of all time Neil Peart
Still is and always will be my favorite band!!!🖖 Pearl
Breaking down all the barriers....this is rock/jazz/pop....beastly and incredible!
Greatest trio ever, prove me wrong!
i dont have to! and you cant make me!..lol
These guys were masters of their art, probably why they enjoyed sold out stadium shows & sold 40 million albums.
Rip Neil he was my inspiration to play drums
Rock In Peace professor There will never be another band like RUSH
Saw em 3 times in 70s and early 80s. Missed one cuz I got deployed. Best live, bar none. Love em to this day.
The band that had a leading drummer.. RIP Neil
These guys were the best live. Nobody had nothin’ on them. Doesn’t get any better than this.
I had chills and sweats watching Neal. Such a technician. From 1977 to present. What a life it’s been to enjoy this ride.
Fans singing along to the beginning lyrics of the trees is SO COOOL !!!❤❤❤❤❤
The trees are ny enemy for I suffer from allergies
RIP to author, poet, philosopher, professor, and Rock ‘n’ roll drum god Neil Peart. Lord knows that I’ve enjoyed air drumming along with Neil more than all other drummers combined. Neil, you influenced my life in countless positive ways. I hope you’re getting in some good asphalt therapy on the back roads of the cosmos. With your wife and daughter.
I can just remember the concerts, where the music was loud and the vibrations just seem to pass over you like a wave or (no pun intended), like a rush
this is the greatest Rush description I have ever heard.......listening to Rush is like getting mugged by three brain surgeons....brilliant....
I've played drums in my younger years. When I first heard Rush in 1981 is was immediately floored by their music. That only happened to me once before when I heard Jimi Hendrix for the fist time.

Também acho....nunca numa mesma Banda três gênios desse nível....
Neal is looking down from the skie's,but still jamming in the cloud's.
This is it !!!!!!
Rush forever !!!!!!
I have heard YYZ a thousand times.... and look forward to the next 1000... I just keep shaking my head... there will never be another RUSH.
As for The Trees, I'm sure there's a second level to the song but just to think about trees arguing with one another is enough to engulf my imagination
How I know these guys are amazing:
I don't like this kind of music at all, but holy crap can these guys play. The whole thing is at lightning speed for the first three minutes, with Lifeson playing like a madman, Peart surrounded by 347 drums, and playing all of them, and Lee switching back and forth between bass and keyboards and the guy doing his laundry was the icing on the cake.
Good to hear I'm not the only one who pans the drum kit from the audience perspective. 😁
Awesome!! Just Awesome!! Best band ever!
my 2 favorite Rush songs
Sean Penn: Bass and keyboards
Harrison Ford: Guitars
Tom Hanks: Drums
The first time I saw them was 1977 in Odessa TX I was seventeen still in high school the one the really amazed me was the professor he was awesome 👌.
RIP Mr. Peart. I began playing drums in 1989 at age 14. I only truly began playing drums in 1996 when i was introduced to Rush's Exit Stage Left and your drumming. You are sorely missed.

3 guys, sounds like a full orchestra. Simply incredible
This is a proper Canadian rock in roll band!
Greatest band of all time.RIP Neil.
Super tight as always. That distinct Rickenbacker sound that Geddy gets just cuts through everything. Love it!
1978 in concert first time. Still listening in 2022.✌️
When the music is so beautiful it doesn't need words
This is such amazing talent 3guys and sounds like 6 ! Incredible concert!
GOAT BAND, the songs you grew up to
The transition from guitar solo to keyboard is fantastic and bombastic
Тема супер, слушаю этих ребят с 1979 года !
That’s the best I’ve ever heard an electronic drum kit sound!
l'amour des arbres...le vivant sur cette terre....magnifique rush...pensée profonde pour neil peart...

Rip Neil.Thanks for your drumming 😪
Rush awesome guys, awesome thought provoking Lyrics...great Rock style, totally Canadiana ! Thanks for sharing your gifts with us, rest now sweet drummer boy..........come again..
he Trees was probably the song that turned me on to Rush. After all these years, still simply stunning that 3 guys made this sound! Simply amazing
God Speed Neil, Thank you for all the great shows.Ride on the highway in the sky.You will always be in our hearts never to be forgotten.
This has been my most favorite Rush song ever since the album came out! As a bass player I was always practicing it trying to get it just right. The opening bass line is pure genius!
