I saw Rush at St. John’s Arena in 1980 and I PREFERRED the style of their 1st 5 albums to their “techno pop” sound that started around Moving Pictures. (Geddy was off stage-left, watching.38 Special (their opening act) when me and my buddy yelled GEDDY!! He turned around, smiled, and gave us a 👍🏼! 😂
Probably because of You Tube's algorithms. Not to mention it's copyright protected material which I think it's utter bs from the media conglomerate the concert footage is tied to. It's the fans that lose in the end.
I remember watching this the night it aired on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, Xanadu became my favorite song by Rush that night. Something magical, and haunting about the song.
I was a senior in high school and I traded shifts with a friend at the restaurant where I was working so I could see Farewell to Kings and Xanadu on Don Kirshner. I loved the clip of Alex playing classical guitar in front of the castle. I for one loved the whole "prophetic robes" period.
I see people talking favorite songs, and I guess I just like everything from these guys. They are musician ‘gods’ in the the universe of my mind. I study these guys! So, they can do no wrong, in a way, in my mind.
There's a "live in studio" performance of this. 100% live, just in the studio. Very nice, because the quality is amazing. There's one for _La Villa Strangiato._ There's a few more. It's very cool to see them up close a clear. Just sitting in a chair playing _2112._
Agreed. He had to keep the sound full, and with the other two basically soloing all the time, there was nothing else he could do. IMO, he is the sound of Rush. There's an interview "out there" with Geddy saying basically the same thing. There was in interview during the "Geddy Lee, with backup band Rush" era, where Alex said that during that period he got to "work on his rhythm playing." How Canadian.
The story of how _2112_ came about after the disastrous _Caress if Steel_ album and tour is incredible. They called it _The Down the Tubes Tour._ After they made _2112,_ the guy at the label said, "this is exactly what we didn't want." But it worked out. It's on a documentary that I can't remember the name of.

Why doesn't this collection have more views? It's awesome to see them in their early career on DKRH!

Crazy how much they progressed in a small window of time

Wow a true treasure trove of rush performances
Greatest rock band of all time..
Yes, I agree.
my favorite all time group, 2112 best album
The red double neck ! I never realized that Lee played the chorus on guitar during Xanadu solo.

Alex liefson the most underrated guitar player ever !!
