TAMA Prototype Artstar drums w/ South American Cordia wooden drumshells that Neil Peart himself designed, and ultimately gave away to a fan. THE best kit he ever played. The drum sound on Signals is flawless. RIP NP 2020.
WOW!!!!!! The Camera Eye!!! This extremely rare. They only did this a few times on the moving pictures tour then 30 years later on the time Machine tour
this song is always in my head...At work when the elevator doors open and sound off like the synth part (2:25), this song emerges in me... I wish Rush would play at least, the intro, and I'd be fulfilled!!...I've seen Rush over 10 times, like so many of us Rush fans...We're blessed!!!
man...why i moved to nyc, I had this playing as I approached the city with all the lights shining and i completely understood what neil was talking about so poignant
I saw them play this live on Moving Pictures and Signals tours and it was awesome. I am looking forward to seeing the whole Moving Pictures album live. Long live RUSH
I am waiting for them to play this song again as I missed this tour, 7th grade. It would be nice if Rush could tour without any new record release thereby opening up time to play classic such as this, instead of new material nobody knows or wants to hear.
they never play the camera eye live. i wish i was born alot earlier than i was. oh well. sixteen years old and going back for my 3rd time to see rush this summer. not bad.
Nevertheless.. I still love it and TY for posting this amazing Signals bootleg!.. I got into Rush on Signals but missed seeing the tour :(( Was 12 and just didnt have a way of getting tix.. I should have seen them at Radio City but missed that too.. Ever since GUP I haven't missed a tour. AND i got to see them at Radio City after all in 2004!:-)
This is just so great...so rare...I saw them on this tour...This was NOT played...Matter of fact, Ive heard thru the years that Camera Eye is not one they usually played....Thanks for this rare gem....
The more we beg them to add this song to the set list, the less likely they will. And if it's ever played live, it will be about a 30 second version tease .. as they always do with Cygnus X1.
WOW!!! Nice footage especially since video cameras were so freakin' huge back then!! Wonder how they got the camera in That tour was the first time I saw Rush and I was only like 12 or 13 and I can remember that was my favorite song they played and that I know of, they didn't play that song again until the Time Machine Tour so it was such a freakin' treat to hear it again but this time at Red Rocks.... which by the way is the best place in the world to see Rush!!!!!! RUSH ON!!!!!!!!!!!!
Geddy always said that he disliked playing this song live, and I can understand why. That being said, this song is really cool and unique. Moving Pictures rules!
there kind of is, when most think of rush they think of either the vocals or the drums, but much more rarely that of alex. Unfortunate, he's a great guitarist.
These are great clips- thanks for posting them! Am I imagining it, or are pretty much all of the tempos a bit fast from this show? If so, is this something to do with encoding the video, the age of the footage, etc?
They've said that they've rehearsed the song at various times for certain songs and they just (to a man) weren't that into it. Too bad. If I could see a tour with just this song off of 'Moving Pictures' I'd be happy.
I'm would bet that they will do this the next time around, I hope..What about you guys..what about you guys? It's been so long since they did it, they would smoke it
What the hell are you talking about? They are greater than the sum of their parts, since only together do they produce their awesome music. You have each individuals talent, plus how they interact and work with each other, that's the "extraness" that results from adding them together. It's kind of a given that they'd at least be the sum of their parts; if they weren't, they would suck, since that would mean they'd be better off not being in that band.
I wish they'd play it too .. but u know .. I wouldnt want them to play it if they're hearts not into it .. as much as the fans would want it .. it wouldn't be right to "fake" it. I think Geddy probably feels there isn't enough bass in the tune or maybe that its too repetative for his liking .. I dunno .. its the way it is sometimes .. artists feel different about songs as they move on. It happens
i disagree with herostatus completely, i think if fans keep telling them to play it they will...eventually... why dont they even play it? is it too hard for geddy to sing it now or what?
who cares if Geddy fuckes up, considering what he puts into the songs and sings, playes keys, taurous pedals, mistakes here and there are going to happen just out of having a good time. Cut him a break if thats what you are taking a about. You get 1 10th the talent and i will want to talk to you.
I think this is my favorite Rush song ever... I know, almost impossible to pick one, but this takes the cake for emotion and epic-ness.
Amen brother
Sorry for the young people of today but i had the privilege to grow listening this kind of music , real music.
I consider this Neil's best drum tones and pinnacle of his chops.
he got better and sounded after he switched to Ludwig.

Best LIVE band! Who sounds better live then RUSH?
I was 15 when I saw the Signals tour back in '83, this brings back great memories!
Finally!!!!!!! one of the best underrated songs of Rush!!!!! thank you!!
@dwilmer7 saw Rush on Signals tour in Chicago in 82 for first time, they were and STILL are the most amazing band i have ever seen.
WOW!!!!!! The Camera Eye!!! This extremely rare. They only did this a few times on the moving pictures tour then 30 years later on the time Machine tour
They did it on signal tour in Montreal 8-9 of april 1983.I was there.
sady when they last played it it was a condensed version, competely left out the badass middle part.
I was there in LI…..loved the medley they did
Only Neil would be genius enough to squeeze in Westminster Quarters at the end! Totally brilliant.
Them Playahz Smiles...Spot On
Was there that night...also saw then at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse on that tour....
No dislikes. Pure awesomeness.
Saw this show at the Coliseum LI NY. Seeing them do this song was like the Rangers winning the CUP. Now I've seen it all.....
Amazing! Watching Neil swing away on this one is just mesamerizing! Thanks for posting!
this song is always in my head...At work when the elevator doors open and sound off like the synth part (2:25), this song emerges in me... I wish Rush would play at least, the intro, and I'd be fulfilled!!...I've seen Rush over 10 times, like so many of us Rush fans...We're blessed!!!
this video is a diamong in the rough!! thanks for the post!
man...why i moved to nyc, I had this playing as I approached the city with all the lights shining and i completely understood what neil was talking about so poignant
Had my first visit to NYC recently. Had The Camera Eye on repeat in my head for the whole visit.
I love when Geddy stops singing, steps away from the mic and starts rockin' with his bass!
Thankyou!!!!!!!!
I saw them play this live on Moving Pictures and Signals tours and it was awesome. I am looking forward to seeing the whole Moving Pictures album live.
Long live RUSH
I am waiting for them to play this song again as I missed this tour, 7th grade. It would be nice if Rush could tour without any new record release thereby opening up time to play classic such as this, instead of new material nobody knows or wants to hear.
I'm gonna see Rush this AUGUST!!!!!!!!
Fantastic and rare! ..but the tempo is insane, way too fast IMHO
i luuuuuuuuuuv this song!!!
awesome...now I can go and live...my life is complete :)
great version thanks for postin this

hard to believe this is 30 years ago! Still holds up!
why? because music today is so much better? wtf
RollTheFemurs your posts are so awesome, thank you so much for taking the time to do all this
Wow, that's a rare video. I saw them on that tour and it'll be cool to see them play this song again in a few weeks.
please play this live...PLEASSSSE RUSH!
i was there 81 woohoooooo rush is the best
Still a great find, man. Thanks for sharing.
The more we beg them to add this song to the set list, the less likely they will.
And if it's ever played live, it will be about a 30 second version tease .. as they always do with Cygnus X1.

RUSH ON!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw them on that tour and it was the last time they ever played that song. For some reason they just won't play it live anymore.
Born and raised in Montreal
I was there, didn't remember them playing Camera Eye, I'd have to look at the track list of that tour!
Rush is touring Summer '10, playing the entire Moving Pictures album.
The snare intro is insanely good.
I bet they don't. I would love to hear this song played
Alex is just so good. To be that good but still be overshadowed by Geddy and Neil shows you how good they are as a band.
Great! Should have pro shot this tour!!
Geddy always said that he disliked playing this song live, and I can understand why. That being said, this song is really cool and unique. Moving Pictures rules!
Sounds real good -
@jcrossney see them twice and they only get better every show..
I would love to be part of this live. But no complaints here.
I bet they do this song on their next tour, or at least a condensed version of it. ;)
Geddy looks new wave in this video.
there kind of is, when most think of rush they think of either the vocals or the drums, but much more rarely that of alex. Unfortunate, he's a great guitarist.
Alex's playing is what got me into Rush
I was there
Me too and the night after.9_4-83
Wow!! That's like 300 BPM!!
true that
@RollTheFemers
I hope this is true, i saw them on aug 27th and would LOVE to see rush next summer :)
6.04 Geddy missed the entrance but who cares! he can do any mistake and nothing would change his amazingness !..!
These are great clips- thanks for posting them! Am I imagining it, or are pretty much all of the tempos a bit fast from this show? If so, is this something to do with encoding the video, the age of the footage, etc?
@RememberDeath2112 Don't worry TOO much -- Alex said that they're planning on touring again in 2011 after they release their new album.
Don't forget your wonderful maple syrups! :-)
speedy!
Theyre coming to west palm beach!!!!! :O__!!!!
@constantinosbassman I now that my goal is more than a thought.
holy crap this is like 30 years old! how did you keep this for so long???
actually this was their peak time 1978-1984
They've said that they've rehearsed the song at various times for certain songs and they just (to a man) weren't that into it. Too bad. If I could see a tour with just this song off of 'Moving Pictures' I'd be happy.
what do you think now? Theres a Michigan date on April 17th! No need t feel sick anymore! Not in Detroit though. It's in Auburn Hills I guess.
Glad you enjoy the footage! However, I did not tape this. I am just sharing it with you. Credit goes to the taper, whoever he is. :-)
the are RUSHing so much in this performance, poor Geddy scrambling to fit the vocals
in
The funny thing is is he sets the tempo though with the keyboards.
Its funny how fast Geddy runs away from the syntesizers in this song.
@dwilmer7 Yep. Signals tour.
I'm would bet that they will do this the next time around, I hope..What about you guys..what about you guys? It's been so long since they did it, they would smoke it
Wow. Fast.
whas that the year when the tennants were the opening act?
2010 Time Machine Tour coming...! :)
what is this signals tour?
@jcrossney I know, I can't f***ing wait!! :-D
@constantinosbassman Flashing very quickly by.
Is that from the master tape?

Why is this not 1080p????!!!! Gawd, i hate up-loaders. winky face!
+mrbucket75 umm because it was 1983??
Caleb Bartlett
Thanks literal Caleb.
lol sorry, its hard to portray sarcasm through the internet
Jean-Yves Chartier ah Fuck man, you nailed me.
@constantinosbassman I know that, my goal is more than a though.
I wish they'd play it too .. but u know .. I wouldnt want them to play it if they're hearts not into it .. as much as the fans would want it .. it wouldn't be right to "fake" it. I think Geddy probably feels there isn't enough bass in the tune or maybe that its too repetative for his liking .. I dunno .. its the way it is sometimes .. artists feel different about songs as they move on. It happens
Try being a servere Rush fan & livin' in Australia
We dont have Leprosy.... Mostly
@constantinosbassman ccc-combo breaker lol
Thanks to the magic of cryogenics and stem cells, a 2112 Tour is being planned!
;-)
As far as I know, I think they're just playing fast! :-)
geddy dislikes this song Thats why they never play it live
i disagree with herostatus completely, i think if fans keep telling them to play it they will...eventually... why dont they even play it? is it too hard for geddy to sing it now or what?
@Annonymus121
That was awesome, but Geddy fucked up! :)
who cares if Geddy fuckes up, considering what he puts into the songs and sings, playes keys, taurous pedals, mistakes here and there are going to happen just out of having a good time. Cut him a break if thats what you are taking a about. You get 1 10th the talent and i will want to talk to you.
well you were in enemy territory
The effin balls......first tour for me '86, they owe us this one live
Where was this shot?
