Not bad for men pushing 60 here!
and after playing for 3 hours
This song is the finale of a 3.5 hour show no support act, not bad for a bunch of men in their late 50's
"More rides than Jenna Jameson" lol!
Who is Jenna Jameson?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Google her 😂
I loled to that one too
@@ThomasJ_Music Just kidding!
@@ThomasJ_Music google may not be the proper seach engine for Jenna Jameson :D
This is where it all began back in the 70’s when a Cleveland DJ discovered this song and played it on the radio....and the rest is history!!!
The great Donna Halper. We Rush fans thank her from the bottom of our little maple leaf hearts.
@@diannebdee And they never forgot her, inviting her to every award show, HOF and any special performance they gave. Classiest Group of all time
I remember hearing it when it first came out on WMMS in Cleveland and my mind was blown!! My dad was in his mid-40s, worked in a steel mill in NE Ohio and loved it too; very relatable.
At the end of a 3 hour concert, right after playing La Villa Strangiato, all at 58/59 years old. Not too bad lol
That poor guitar! Alex did unspeakable things to it. 😳😄
I've often heard the expression "gobsmacked". I've never actually seen someone get "gobsmacked" until now. Welcome to RUSH.
😂😂
I do enjoy watching Rush reaction videos, particularly to this version of Working Man. It leaves people speechless. They just can't believe what they are seeing and hearing. As a fan, it makes me feel so validated; "Yes. This is why I have enjoyed this band for four decades. And now somebody else understands why."
'What the hell was that? I think I forgot to breath..' lol
You really need to see Neal's drum solo - pull up the one in Frankfort.
Why did people suggest this version? Guys, he's never heard the song, and you suggest a version with a novelty beginning.
I was just thinking to myself that this version sure hits differently if you’ve heard the original studio version. And it hits much, much better.
Alex just KILLS it here.
When Cleveland listeners first heard this song on their radios in 1974, if they missed the introduction they called into the station to ask when the new Zeppelin album was coming out.
Baby Zeppelin
Listen to the STUDIO VERSION of this song..BIG DIFFERENCE!!!
When you do The Garden do the live version clockwork orange , , 1 st rate
not bad for a chap with arthritus in his hands
Natural science.. entres nous.. jacobs ladder.. trees..... Was at the same tour in Toronto
I'm a new sub BECAUSE of Rush. Please do turn your channel into a "Rush Only" channel. There is another channel that is currently going through all their albums from the beginning. Please consider doing this too. Thanks for some great reactions. Your speechless ones are the bomb. Excellent mate.
Welcome to the Rush family YYZ live in Rio
I get being pulled-in by them. A former boyfriend of mine is who introduced me to Rush, and though that relationship fell apart spectacularly, I kept my love for this band. *LOL* They really are something else. One of the things that always struck me about their music is they don't seem to have "throw-away" songs. Like, I've listened to other musicians and sometimes on their albums you can kinda tell that a song is just there to fill out the space and they don't put as much thought and care into it as some of their others. But with these guys, maybe not every song is an epic journey like Xanadu or 2112, but they always put full effort into every one. And all of their lyrics mean something. They aren't just out there filling up space. (I also really grew to appreciate good bass work just by listening to their music. Geddy Lee is freaking amazing!)
As for more suggestions, they have a LOT of good music, though you've definitely listened to some of it already. But here's a few more: "Limelight", "Marathon", "Time Stand Still" (this one has a drum part that gives me chills every time I hear it), "A Farewell to Kings" (title track of an album that is completely amazing, and which "Xanadu" is from), "Available Light" (my personal favorite of theirs), "Distant Early Warning"
A fun comparison is ti watch the live version of this song, performed live at the Laura Secord school to a stunned audience of teenyboppers, in the dawn of their career before NP joined the band.
I usually watch this version of "Working Man" once a day... I never tire of it.
Luv it! 😊
Dude from the look on your face you're contemplating your entire existence!
I was! 😂😂😂
OMG..LISTEN TO STRANGLEHOLD BY TED NUGENT!! YOU'LL LOVE IT!!
The “best intro ever” live is another great RUSH.
They're all great... you kidding me?
Is it with the South Park cartoon? (I am the motherfucking Geddy Lee and sing whatever I want")? Another great intro was for the Weapon.
I think you should review or react to Limelight, if you haven't already!
That 10 second groove at the end is from Cygnus X-1 Book #1, first of a 2 part song from 2 different albums. This one from "A Farewell to Kings"
Keep in mind they were near 60 years old when this was filmed!!! Yeah, the reggae opening was the kind of thing they do live to have some fun with their tunes!!!
So glad to hear you have become a Rush fan. It somehow validates why I love this band because I respect your views. I was recently at a function with music playing in the background. A Rush song came on and a lady beside be said, “Oh, I hate these guys”. Well, I got so emotional trying to defend them and giving my story as to why I like them. She might as well have insulted a family member. I had to leave. I need help.
They ALWAYS do Cleveland special. The best version, imo, is the one from the Agora Ballroom, Cleveland, August, 1974. It was recorded and broadcast on radio station WMMS in Cleveland in August and again in December. The station played a big part in RUSH"s early career. Its also the first recorded Neil Peart drum solo with RUSH. The ABC Recordings were released in 2011 I believe. You'll hear them give a shout out to Donna Halper just before they start playing WORKING MAN. She was the Music Director at WMMS and the woman credited with "Discovering" Rush in America.

Being Neil had only been with the band since July, he's mostly covering Rutsey on these songs, although you can hear some changes. BUT the solo' is all Neil. (RIP)
This performance leaves most people speechless for a few moments. I did say you'd do yourself an incredible disservice to yourself if you didn't finish off the week with this song. Also, YYZ in Rio, but you got a sense of why I made that comment.
Yeah, well, you came this close to manslaughter coz the man was foaming at the mouth and even forgot to breathe ☺️
🐐🐐🐐
Absolutely nobody get down like The Boy’s ... and I mean that sh!%
True that. This clip is absolute proof that they are the masters of the badass breakdown, also see Freewill (Exit Stage Left version) for further proof.
@@RogueReplicant Tell It!!!
Great reaction i love this video. You have to react to Leave that thing alone (Time machine tour), Geddy's bass playing is off the charts and Alex's guitar playing is haunting. You also have to see Neil playing his drum solo from Frankfurt.
If you are not sick of Rush yet then you need to react “Distant Early Warning” when you get a chance. IMO one of Rush’s underrated songs.
Sick of Rush, Blasphemy!! 😂
Blasphemy is right
3 different instruments doing 3 solos, yet all tied together and making it sound amazing. after 40 years they still crushed it. love this band. Alex was always amazing, funny and in the back ground keeping everyone laughing and their ego's in check. Geddy's vocals were always on point & his bass playing got even more fantastic over the years. The professor? enough said.
You're just getting started. Try Analog Kid or Marathon next.
Analog Kid may be Rush's most underrated song.
I could have written this!
Analog kid has always been my favorite song!!
The Fountain Of Lamneth
🎸🥁🎸
Can’t exit the Rush train before watching Neil Peary live in Frankfurt
since you seem to be hellbent on overdosing on Rush. might I suggest Anthem, Bastille Day, Jacob's Ladder, Natural Science, CygnusX-1 Book one and Book 2, Fountain of Lamneth and The Necromancer; enjoy the Rush Rabbit hole !!!
My son and I were lucky enough to be at this show. This is a band that in 2011 were in their late 50's early 60's and this was the encore song at the end of a 3 hour long concert. I've seen lots of bands half their age that don't display the energy they did. Was sad when they retired in 2015 but at least they did it while they were still at the top of their game.
Limelight is my personal favourite from the Rush catalog. After reacting to it you should watch Alex Lifeson's video on how to play it. ruclips.net/video/t5JTBmx3xpc/видео.html
YYZ live in Rio!!!!!!! Anther masterpiece!!!!!!! Crowd is insane!!!!
What the hell was that? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Its Rush baby 😁
Play Big Money, from RUSH
Rush have an amazing catalog. There are many hidden gems such as *Cut to the Chase* (studio version), *Dreamline* (live version from Snakes and Arrows tour), *Earthshine* (studio remastered), *Broon's Bane-The Trees* (live version from Exit...Stage Left), *Far Cry* (studio version), *Malignant Narcissism* (studio version), *Ghost of a Chance* (studio version), etc.
"Closer to the Heart" is their most commercial hit.
That's the best version of Working Man. It rocks....hard. Absolutely, wonderful.
Fountain Of Lamneth
It wouldn’t matter what Shaw you were at they would be that good at every show that’s what makes them so great! Listen to The Garden Live it will be a great change of temple that I think you would really appreciate.
Rush is one of the few bands that sounded immaculate and masterful in studio and even better live. These three guys could put out fuller and richer performances than most symphony orchestras. You will doubtless get around to listening to the studio version of Working Man. When you do, you will be surprised how different it is. But, you'll love it just as much. Welcome to Rush World Tommy, you'll never be quite the same and you'll never look back.
This is at the end of a 3 hour show !! Amazing energy levels especially from Neil. God, they loved what they did & it shows
@NorthernEar - so their first album was pootling along not doing anything much and then a DJ called Donna Halper on rock radio station WMMS in Cleveland put on "Working Man" from it late at night, in part because it was long enough to allow for a toilet break! Cleveland being a blue collar city took the song to their hearts and Rush's career took off. Thenceforth the association between the band, the city and this song especially, became enduring.
Look up 'Stunned' in Dictionary. Find ='See NorthernEar reaction to Rush/ Working Man LIVE in Cleveland'.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like the studio version better, original drummer, so no Peart magic. But they're having fun in this one which is good to see
Welcome to the Rush fan hood, we've been waiting for you! It's now your mission to spread the gospel. Everyone who loves music meets to know about this band.
😷Rush is just one of those bands that if you get it, YOU REALLY GET IT-and if you don’t, then you REALLY DON’T. This Working Man live is 9 years AFTER that Rio YYZ spectacle, and they were 49-50yo in 2002 doing the Rio show.🤯🤘🖖✌️🥁🎸🎹🎤
As much as I love Rush, I just can't help but notice how much Geddy's voice deteriorated after their Rio concert. No fault of his of course, just a part of aging. For live material, I stick with Exit...Stage Left and Rush in Rio mostly. Can't go wrong with those.
Vocals are tough, man. Look at Billy Joel and Elton John, they can not sing anywhere near as high as they used to. Wear and tear from touring is brutal. The fact that Geddy kept it up as long as he did is exceptional, and the techniques he used later are passable but obviously not ideal.
This is special for Cleveland, which is where in the mid 1970s Rush was launched into a higher strata of radio play, the band has a special appreciation for Cleveland
Hi Tommy, check out “Rush, best intro ever! “ it’s a live performance with a collage of many older songs ending with The Spirit of Radio. You will not be disappointed! Cheers mate!
Hello from Montreal, Canada. welcome to the Rush world! I was brain washed in 1980. I would get some of their concert videos, get their Lps etc. and enjoy! I would follow the various cover bands out there and support them. I think there is few in your neck of the woods. I like your enthusiasm. Take care
Neil's drum solo in Frankfurt!
Love these Rush reactions. Cheers and love from eastern Ontario Canada 🍁
I would recommend the Trees 🌳 next
You should start reacting to some of "The Police". Rush (especial Neil) was massively influenced by their musicianship and their huge reggae influence tinged with some prog.
Ok but you should really do Natural Science the next time you want a Rush reaction. It's my favorite of theirs. Awesome stuff my friend!
Have you done Limelight? It is easily one of their best songs.
Not yet!
Agree. I like the 'Official Music Video' they're in the recording studio recording it. Drums are off the charts
@@ThomasJ_Music Please listen to the live version of Freewill, Time Machine tour 2011. You will be blown away, trust me.
Since some people have suggested listening to the studio version of Working Man it should be noted that Neil Peart was not Rush's original drummer. That honor was held by the late John Rutsey. Rutsey was diabetic and didn't manage his condition well, so Geddy and Alex gently pushed him out of the band before the started touring out of concerns for his health. That was when Neil auditioned and joined the band. So Neil is on all but the first of the band's albums.
Watched the live stream and loved it! So much fun to see someone hear, watch, and appreciate the music I have loved for years! RUSH is the soundtrack of my life. Every era of RUSH is great so please don't let the "prog years only" portion of the fan base deter you from their music from the 80's, 90's, and beyond.
RUSH was a tight band of world class musicians and when the retired in 2015 I was left with a void, that void has since been filled by a band I just learned about in the last year. That band is Band Maid and I would love to see you check them out sometime. Just don't let the cover of the book fool you! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🥁
Welcome to the Rush Army dude!! Love to have you join the pack! They wrote this version just for fun for this tour! This song was their break-through song from the 1st album! And they broke in Cleveland 1st! That’s why their shows there are always so special there! Neil knew how to make this piece his own, tho!! Really enjoyed your journey!! Looking forward to more!!
To understand "what the hell was that?" you need to listen to how it sounded in the studio in '73.
Alex Lifeson baby......one of the greatest underrated guitarists hands down....
'What the hell was that' .... I heard... well - NASA Is still scratching its head about that and also the best trio of all time , but one thing is for sure , we will never see there like again . (They may be from Canada, but not sure it was Canada, planet earth , got to be from somewhere else other than here !!!
Welcome to your lesson in real in your face rock! Masters... loved your reaction, great review, more Rush please!
A very enjoyable set of reactions. I’m looking forward to more Rush from you.
The next rabbit hole you have to go down is Yes. Geddy supposedly decided he wanted to play bass after hearing Chris Squire, Yes’ bassist. That should give you some idea of what to expect.
Neal wrote a book it's called ghost rider. Heart breaker neal was an amazing writer too he either wrote most of there songs the drummer runs the show .RIP "professor "
Entertaining as usual, my friend. You can do Rush week every week for the next 6 months and you'll continue to have your brain scrambled. I envy you getting to hear all of these amazing songs for the first time.
I was at the Dublin and Newcastle shows on the UK leg of Time Machine, Newcastle was a brilliant show with the guys on fire, Dublin the only time they ever played in Ireland.
I was at newcastle too - amazing show
So many more to be blown away by! Cygnus X1/Hemispheres, The Trees, Natural Science, The Necromancer, The Fountain of Lamneth, Leave That Thing Alone, Roll the Bones, Witch Hunt, The Camera Eye, Vital Signs, The Garden... I could keep going until I name every one of their songs! Madrigal (a nod to J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece), By-Tor and the Snow Dog, Here Again, Time Stand Still, OMG THERE'S SO MANY!!!
Don't mind the super fan.
You really have to find a Neil Peart drum solo to react too ... normally drum solos bore the pants off of me no matter how good the drummer is but Neil's solos are really songs in and of themselves.
My brain, every time I see Rush live, and it is forced to confront the fact that there's only three people playing. 😳
Working Man is from their 1st album, they had a different drummer than Neil on that one. Neil joined the band after the first drummer, John Rutsey was dropped due to health problems. You can really see the difference in the lyrics once Neil started writing them. However, the first album showed that both Alex & Geddy were amazingly talented. This performance of Working Man blew me away when I saw it live on the Time Machine tour (not this show, but the one in Hamilton, Ontario).
LISTEN TO: Rush- Cygnus X-1 (Book One- The Voyage)
Awesome way to end Rush week with maybe their best live performance ever!! Fantastic!!
"Show me what you got!"
7:30 in: "I think I forgot to breathe!"
Lol
I'd be there all the way present for duty if you did a rush reaction channel LoL 😆
Never seen or heard a guitarist play like that...geeez!
Red Sector A is another great track. Live version here ruclips.net/video/B3ytkyn3vUU/видео.html
I don't think that was all improvisation. Army?
still 30-40 high calibre songs still to explore!
I was at this show (and many other Rush concerts.) Great show!
Geddy said Working Man was his favourite song to play live as it gave them a chance to improvise
New sub here. Always good to see people discover Rush
This was the late in their careers and at the very end of 3 hours of playing. Truly incredible performers and m,musicians !
You should listen to the original Working Man from Their 1st album, There are 3 kick ass guitar solo/s in it!!!
That’s how men in their 60s rock!!!
It would be great to hear more reviews on Alex’s guitar playing. Always felt he was one of the most, if not the most, underrated guitarists.
Would like your comments on just diverse styles of play, his tone, and his ability to create emotional connections with his guitar all while being noticeably Alex and how that compares to other guitarists.
You have just made my Saturday afternoon with all these reactions. Firstly, these songs are just the epitome of greatness, and secondly it’s just awesome watching someone learn why so many RUSH fans are lifers! Thank you so much!
Please react to Limelight by Rush or The trees
Loved watching your Rush night.
Sadly never toured Australia much to my sorrow.
Ne Obliviscaris fan. (oldest bloke in the audience hiding just behind the mosh pit)
I did Ne Obliviscaris a while back, nearly gave me a panic attack on screen 😂
If you haven't,check out the studio version.This is awesome & shows their musicianship but they've changed it up from the original.Still excellent but much different.
No
Tried to warn you... you're done now, son...
Absolutely love this channel, I delight in seeing a musician stunned by other musicians
