One thing I loved about Rush is that they didn't keep trying to recreate their biggest selling album, 'Moving Pictures' , like, say... AC/DC with 'Back in Black'!
Fantastici. Neil è stato un grande batterista, compositore e autore, pittore... Grande band, altamente sottovalutata nel mondo, dalla quale ci sarebbe solo da imparare ma la genialità è tale che sarebbe impossibile non soffermarsi su ogni singola battuta di ogni singolo brano.
So much raw energy and power in this performance. The Clockwork Angels strings kicked ass as well. They completely fed off the energy of Neil Geddy and Alex.
Power Windows, excellent album. RUSH a band you have to see in Concert !!! Unfortunately days, days, days run away like wild horses over the hill, not without my RUSH albums !!!! TopJimmy
Geddy really struggled vocally on the last two tours. I love this band and have since 1977., Despite all the talk about Neil and Alex's physical ailments, Geddy has never sounded worse. His voice is cracking, he's flat, he's sharp. Go back and listen to him on earlier tours. His range was effortless. I suspect age is a part if it, but there isn't any of the 2012 and 2015 tours where I thought he sang well.
Age is definitely part of it, but IMO Geddy just didn't adapt to singing his really high parts with the voice he had on the last tours. It's the same problem with any rock/metal singer who in his 60s tries to sing as high as he did in his 20s and 30s.
Honestly, albums like S&A live were so good that they set the standard almost impossibly high. By any standard, geddy was a phenomenal singer in his prime. Unfortunately it did decline, as would be expected with age. We’d be in denial if we were to try to assume that wasn’t the case. He isn’t as good as he used to be. But that being said, he could still nail a tenor C in his sleep, even into his 60s. Compared to most other singers (Bon jovi, axl rose, rik emmett, and many others who sing in similar ranges), Geddy’s voice held up better than most of them. The last three live albums did have a bit more of an aged sound to his voice. I didn’t like it at first, but it grew on me. It became an acquired taste, and if anything, I’m impressed with how well he maintained the full tenor range through his entire career. He only lost about 3-4 notes over the span of 40 years. Very few rock singers can say the same. So while it still isn’t as good as albums like S&A were, it simply makes me appreciate those albums all the more I suppose. Geddy truly did a phenomenal job on some of those DVDs. I listen back and realize how much I took it for granted then, but holy smokes. That man never lost his pipes. What an incredible singer he was.
History is not the same thing as politics. In the song there was commentary on how world-changing the use of nuclear weapons was, but there was no judgment about those who made the decisions, and nothing anti-war or pro-war.
I think you forgot about the Holocaust. Also, at the time Japan refused to surrender. If we would have invaded Japan, many more lives would have been lost. Some say in the millions.
As noted, Japan had been trying to surrender in secret talks for 12 months prior to the bombs destroying Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Dropping them to save American lives in an invasion of the Japanese homeland islands was propaganda designed to quell the people of the world from rising up against the US. It was all theatre to scare the Russians - not with the weapon itself, but with the knowledge that they were prepared to USE such a weapon. And the Japanese women and children who died in these blasts were the first victims in the coming so called 'Cold War'.

A perfect song for the OPPENHEIMER film
Some of rush's best songs never hit the charts.
Amen!
RIP Neil....this is one of my favorites....incredible drummer and great lyricist
All these years later Power Windows can still take me back to when it was first released. Something about that album is very much a time-machine.
one of there best.
@@ant-1382 I think so too especially Alex’s tone
Greetings from 2022 and this is still my favorite Rush song and album thanks to my mom.
definitely a good one, like so many Rush works, under appreciated by the mainstream.
@@ant-1382 indeed
Rush- 'Let's do a song about SEX! No! DRUGS? No! ROCK AND ROLL? Nope! How about NUCLEAR WAR? YES! YES!!' I Love RUSH!!
Drugs = A Passage to Bangkok
Sex = Need Some Love
Drugs = Passage to Bangkok
Rock 'n Roll = 2112
@@halvormyklebust897 atleast Passage to Bangkok wasn't 'explicitly' about drugs. it really took some understanding of the stoner mindset to get.
Megadeth : WRITE THAT DOWN!
Hey, I know! What about concentration camps? (Red Sector A) 😢
I remember being at this concert in Dallas, happily hearing a song I never thought I would hear in concert. Was a great night.

Rush forever from Venezuela Neil Peart R.I.P
Fun fact, one of the violin players is Jonathan Dinklage, Peter Dinklage, Trion Lannister, brother.
The presence of a string section on this song was everything. It made me so happy. 🪄💕
The strings are absolutely harmonious and add so much depth to an already great song.
This song ALWAYS had STRINGS! Check out the STUDIO VERSION!
@@medmac2112 they used a string section on a Power Windows, Marathon and Manhattan Project check the liner notes.
Lance37a I just double checked and yes, you are correct. I didn’t know, thanks!
Awesome live performance. RIP Neil Peart. Say hello to Ginger Baker, John Bonham and Keith Moon for us all.
This is such a great song!!!
They were chock full of "Power Windows" songs on this tour :)
I love it.
One of my all time favorite Rush tracks(as if they all weren’t!). Alex at 2:36, lmao. Love these fellas. Rest peacefully Neal and thank you.

Simply THE best band EVER!!! I love RUSH!!!
Technically, this is from the Phoenix show. I was so bummed they changed the rotation and I missed them playing this at the Dallas show.
mavrush2112 and I was bummed when the Dallas show was used for most of the album and dvd!
i was at both shows, i've seen myself in the DVD, i wanted to make sure i was in it 👍🏼🤷🏻♂️
Simply the best Rush's song...
Power Windows, excellent album. RUSH a band you have to see in Concert !!! Unfortunately days, days, days run away like wild horses over the hill, not without my RUSH albums !!!! TopJimmy
This is the smartest band.
RIP Neil Peart. :(
Beautiful!
Found this great live performance again. I also take the glory of being the first comment!
Back after Oppenheimer.
I wish they had played this in Seattle. I saw Clockwork Angels show, but not this set list.
They played it at the sleep country amphitheater down near vancouver/portland in 2013. was awesome.
I have a question?.. Neil and Geddy use Fibonacci Rule because the timing of the notes and the drum beat with the bass strings is so perfect ?
Could have not been done without the refinement of uranium with centrifuges at the Mallinckrodt plant in St. Louis.
One word, wow! Thanks
この歌詞を創られたNeil Peartに敬意を表します…RIP
It 75 Years ago on this day that the Enola Gay flew out of that shockwave.
Getty always sounds great 👍🏻
Geddy does too
@@halvormyklebust897 So does Gary
@@crystalk9313So does Gershon!
Simply the greatest group ever!
Other bands: "Let's write about love and beer."

Bruh you suspect age has to do with it. Well no shit Sherlock he's one of like only 3 who have been touring every 4 or so years since 1974.

All of that high note singing takes it's toll on your vocals, especially if it's not your normal/comfortable range.
RIP Mr. Peart...
There's an Awesome live version on their A Show of Hands album.
SPETACULAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!
R.I.P Neil
See what happens when Alex is told not to play and trigger synths with his feet lol
Lmao loved his face during that
Neil needs his Zildjian Ride cymbal back!
VintageMdrummer nah, Sabian nailed it.
Well Sabian and Zildjian are pretty much the same .
Geddy shoulda never quit smoking.
Why?
chit voice of Geddy Lee made me end this vdo sooner.Can't beleive crowd paid for that concert.
The mixing on this song is pretty sub par surprisingly. Guitar and voice are too high in volume
👏👏👏👏😂😂😃
I will never understand why people have to mix something as stupid as politics with something as brilliant as RUSH.
Not trying to be a dick, but did you even read the title of the song?
jddelvalle u mad bro?
History is not the same thing as politics. In the song there was commentary on how world-changing the use of nuclear weapons was, but there was no judgment about those who made the decisions, and nothing anti-war or pro-war.
4:07 millennials waiting for the choreographed dancers to come on stage?
Trump should invite Rush to the White House so he can know what true inspiration is.
Adam J blah blah blah
Rush addressing one of the major crimes against humanity of the recent past.
muito bem observado , e colocar tudo isso em uma musica é simplesmente fantastico
I think you forgot about the Holocaust. Also, at the time Japan refused to surrender. If we would have invaded Japan, many more lives would have been lost. Some say in the millions.
I agree Japan was already in their knees, there was no need for this tragedy
Derek White even some US generals were against it. The indiscriminate murder of civilians is defined as a crime against humanity.
As noted, Japan had been trying to surrender in secret talks for 12 months prior to the bombs destroying Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Dropping them to save American lives in an invasion of the Japanese homeland islands was propaganda designed to quell the people of the world from rising up against the US. It was all theatre to scare the Russians - not with the weapon itself, but with the knowledge that they were prepared to USE such a weapon.
