      I know it has been so long ago, but do you recall if they played Subdivisions and also if Neil did a solo? Curiously, those are missing from this concert film and was never sure why that was...I hoped that when it came out on DVD they'd include those since maybe they were omitted from the tape and original broadcast (which I think was on HBO at the time) due to time limitations or something, but that turned out to not happen.

      Same. In 1979 I had the great idea of buying Hemispheres. It blew my mind in million pieces. I dedicated a song in the 4th record called Estado SA (in spanish, State SA, a protest song against tax pay for politicians and bankers to fill their pockets). There are several tributes to them in it: the Prolog, same as Hemispheres + Xanadu. The sang part, Free Will (the voice sings the bass melody). The end, Jacob's ladder. They filled my soul for so long .... but I deny the idea of them not playing any more, so I refuse to listen Clockwork Angel. I cannot listen the last thing. There is no such thing.

    In the summer of 1987 my best friend in High School introduced me to RUSH by showing me this video. It was the first time I had ever heard of RUSH or even seen them. The 1990 Presto tour at Alpine Theater was my first RUSH concert. Since then I have seen them multiple times on every tour until 2015. Thank you Tom for introducing them to me and thank you Rush for helping me through the hard times and the good to make me the person I am today.

      I got into them in 1987 myself. I bought Hold Your Fire totally without hearing a song from it. I was heavily into Yes at the time and just thought, Rush? They’re supposed to be like Yes, aren’t they? Well I put it on when I got home and couldn’t believe the musicianship and those lyrics. When Presto came out next, that became the catalyst that made me a full on Rush head where I eventually got the whole back catalog. Like you, the Presto tour was the first time I saw them and it was at the old Spectrum in Philly. I saw them at least once on every tour after. Man do I miss them coming out with the new album and the tour that would follow. It was a way of life for so long with me and for so many others.

    I absolutely love that they are just as tight live as they are in their albums. They get alot of shit for their late 80s and 90s albums but they are masterpieces in their own right. Power Windows has a phenomenal sound, Roll the Bones has a great sound, Counterparts has one of their best instrumental songs and even Vapor Trails is a very great comeback. This band doesn’t have any dull moments. The prog epics are beyond words and keep even the most ADHD ridden fans like myself interested in songs like 2112 and the Cygnus books, the more popular songs like Tom Saywer and Subdivisions and Spirit of Radio are complex and have very intricate lyrics and instrumentation. Long live Rush! I’m 15 and I’m lucky to be able to listen to their music.

      I’m a big Rush fan as well. I’m truly surprised at 2 things they did as a band. 1. Release such a horrible distorted mix on “Vapor Trails” and it took them years to remix it and 2. they did the R40 tour. By the time they did that tour Geddy’s voice was shot. I still love the band but after the “Clockwork Angels” tour that should have been it. Actually “Snakes and Arrows” was the last tour that I thought Geddy’s voice sounded good but that’s just my opinion.

      One of the most closely matched bands between studio and live I’ve seen recently is The Warning. Their music is way less complex than Rush's of course, but it’s still impressive that they are able to do it. However, they are siblings who started as a band from tweens and early teens, so they’ve honed it. Though even early on they were tight, just less polished obviously.

      @@alanstrom2221 I saw Kiss back in junior high, it would have been 75-76. It was cool, but I was way up front, and as a young bass player, even I could tell that they kind of sucked as musicians. Not long after I saw Rush, it was like night and day: the difference in musicianship, songwriting, composition, technique, precision and lyrics. Once I got into high school, and realized that there was more to life than getting drunk in the woods and self-aggrandizement (you can look it up) I left Kiss behind and grew up. Rush was the type of band that progressed through the years and we grew together. That's one of the keys to their success. Some bands stay 18 years old forever, as do their fans; both becoming irrelevant before too long.

    Once broadcast in Los Angeles in 1987, KTTV-TV Channel 11, my father recorded this on VHS and I watched it the next day.
    It was one of the most breathtaking live musical performances I had Ever seen. I ended up idolizing Alex Lifeson and wanted to play like him for Years. By 19, I finally figured out how to approximate Spirit of the Radio and even did a light cover of it when I was 25 with a drummer friend (who came REAL close to Peart's technique, he was pretty good).
    How blessed were we all to be alive during what may very well likely be the greatest era in the history of recorded music. I was very thankful to had made it to a few RUSH shows starting 2002 at Staples Center while we still had Peart with us... They still had it. YYZ sounded better than ever. Spirit of the Radio sounded better than ever. Just when you thought they were already the best, they got even better. I can rarely say that about any other band.

      I think he switched to the Steinbergers because his bass tech constantly pissed and moaned about having to maintain his Rics. The 'Berger is definitely by far his weakest sound and I have no idea why anyone says they like it, doesn't really sound like Geddy to me at all. He had a pretty great sound with the WAL's he switched to later, at least in the studio.

    We called this the “Success Under Pressure” tour when my gang saw them in Nashville on this tour. Awesome show. Saw them before in 1981. Always loved Rush shows.

    For me, it’s impossible to pinpoint Rush’s heyday. Every decade and era have their own pinnacle. I feel this concert is them displaying their prowess on power and speed on their classic era songs while eagerly presenting the fact that “we aren’t interested in ending our sound evolution at Moving Pictures. We have more to offer if you’ll come with us “. Long live Rush!

    Love how Geddy moves the mic with his mouth while singing on The Enemy Within at 9:09. The ultimate multitasker :)

    I didn't remember until this concert video was released on DVD in 2003 that I had seen it on TV around 1985 when I was 11. I had loved it, but it was my only exposure to Rush until I was in high school, and by then I had forgotten about it. What a delight to see this and remember that I'd been a Rush fan for longer than I realized! Geddy Lee was the reason I decided to learn to play bass in high school. Happy 70th birthday Geddy! I really love this video… I feel like Geddy is in absolute peak form with both his bass playing and vocals here.

    I saw this tour. My favorite Rush album too. The drum sound was stellar. Red Sector A was devastating.

    Every Rush show I see confirms my conviction that Geddy Lee is the greatest bass player in the world.

    My brother brought me to this tour on the twin cities. This seventh grader high light was seeing a college age female take her shirt off and put the glow in the dark tour shirt on... Yes, it was a great concert also.

    It's so great to see that RUSH lives on in the hearts, souls, lives & minds of all the people who love RUSH. With great performances captured visually such as this fantastic concert here, they will continue to inspire us & hopefully generations to come. I believe that they will!

    Two things
    1. Listen to this with headphones and experience those glorious Taurus Bass pedals
    2. For me this will always be the definitive performance of Distant Early Warning and Red Sector A

      Totally agree. Those two songs have such an incredible ability to stir up the emotions of that era and bring back such nostalgia.

    i love how much fun Alex is having. This is a time right after moving pictures where they really hit their stride and were making tons of money at this point. They really made it and it shows in this performance. They are really on top of their game. And having a blast
