It’s fun watching Rush with you! Thanks 🎉
I concur! 😊
Yay more RUSH❤🇨🇦🎸
Xanadu 1981 Live…astounding…mind blowing…
Love Closer to the Heart…🙏
“There’s only ever going to be one Rush…”
Truest thing I’ve heard today 🙏🏼✌🏻
If you want to hear something different from RUSH and Geddy's voice, then watch "The Garden" from their Clockwork Angels tour. I literally cry each time I hear it, because it was near the end of them touring, and it was Neil's way of saying "Goodbye". The foreshadowing of what was to come years later is chilling.
That is prolly one of my top 3 Rush performances....I love Geddys voice from every era but The Garden being the last song on their last album and the meaning behind the song it's hard not to be emotional everytime you watch it❤️🇨🇦🎸
The Garden! One of the most emotional and beautiful songs ever!
😢 Me too, didn't know 😞 it would be my last Rush Concert. 🥰🐰
There is another Rush song is also very emotional. Song is Red Sector A. Red Sector A is very personal to Geddy Lee because Neil wrote about liberation of Nazi Concentration Camp near Bergen-Belsen. One of the survivors was Geddy Lee's mother, Manya (Mary). His father was held in another concentration near Dachau. Geddy Lee stated his mother has very thick accent. She calls him, "Geddy" as his birth's is Gary Lee.
I think this song is a tribute to his parents and other survivors.
I have been lucky enough to see Rush 23 times in 5 decades and every time was just a joy. Loving your Rush journey
I saw 23 show's myself! I started with Power Window's, never missed a tour after that and seeing them in KC and Stl sometimes back to back nights.
This is Forever music; as long as the recordings exist, there will be Rush fans.
Indeed.
Yeah, cause we'd all be so disappointed to see it again and again! hahahaha - you're so funny! Took an ex-girlfriend to a concert and she was an instant fan, watching their documentaries and calling me when she found them. They were special in person, but there was never such a thing as too many times seeing them. Wish I could have seen them more. I've been bugging you for Xanadu. Bring a seat belt. Make sure it's "Exit Stage Left" performance, because it's simply perfection. In the top two all-time live musical performances w-Ghost Love Score at Wacken. I want a front row seat to that reaction, please reserve it for me.
Totally agree. Saw them live many times and still feel like I missed out by not going more. Once in a lifetime talent.
If everyday was RUSH day I would still want more
Yep! Rush is the soundtrack of my life!
Seen them live 27 times never disappoint 1978 to 2015 great guys great musicians
Xanadu will be a real treat for all of us in the neighborhood!!
I love Rush day! Can't wait for your next reaction. This Canadian loves Rush, every day! 🇨🇦
Great Rush reaction as always 🙂
Lucky dog here 👋🏻 btw
17X and saw the R40 tour the last tour…Miss them daily, long live the mighty Rush!
Dear Neighbor, in terms of 'Xanadu', the live version from '81 in Montreal is the one to go for 😀👍
And if you do have the extra time to spare, I'd recommend you choose one of the videos that also has 'The Trees' in it, as it segues into 'Xanadu' = 15 minutes of awesomeness 😊
The Garden, live from the Clockwork Angels Tour, please.
This really brings back memories for me. This was the first tour I saw Rush live. It was a life changing event for me. Just incredible musicians and great chemistry and energy on stage.
💕
Great pick! I love this song.
Their chemistry and brotherhood is so evident.
Xanadu from Exit Stage Left live in Montreal is 🤯🤯🤯
Cheers from the Canadian prairies.
I saw them first in 1981 and last in 2015. Never a bad show begonning to end and all points in between. Totally mesmerizing, the way they performed live...
If you haven't seen Rush Working Man live in Cleveland, then you must!!!
She'd already watched that one! 😉
You nailed it when you said "There's only gonna ever be one Rush". Truer statement has never been said. I've seen them 7 times, but I think my favourite was my last time, on the Time Machine Tour in 2011, because I was able to take my daughter who was 22 at the time. She was blown away by them & the show they put on. If you're doing Xanadu next, you're in for a treat. Pick the 1981 Exit Stage Left live version.
My first concert when I was 16 was Rush in 1986...I will never forget it.
Power Windows tour. Saw that one in Augusta Georgia. Blue Oyster Cult opened for them. Was awesome
1985 here! saw them again in 1986. Amazing in concert...
That's a great start to the world of live concerts. Mine was Black Sabbath. 1970
Seeing as how ur on A Farewell To Kings Xanadu is a natural next step, do the live version from Exit Stage Left. If you're into Rush documentaries Beyond the Lighted Stage is probably the best one and it's on RUclips. Nice reaction to this the song that started me on my Rush journey so many decades ago. 😊
Farewell To Kings is just an awesome album !!!
Blessed enough to have seen them 5 times live... nothing like it. 😎
Love this song. Have a watch of the Show of Hands version of this, Geddy plays the bassline on his own in that instrumental part for a bit and it's sublime.
My comment will shock and stun you...as I say it every single time...Best Band, ever.
lol!
Please please do XANADU live 1981 in Montreal❤🇨🇦🎸
Up next, she says! 🤩👍
Good version of this song. The best one is on the 'A Show Of Hands' live album / DVD from '88, in _my_ book 😊
I agree and I also like the Rio version, not so much for their performance but the crowd singing along with them was pretty cool. 😊
@@Fred-vy1hm - The crowd in the Rio show is amaaazing!
😄👍
I'd forgotten about 'Closer To The Heart' also being on _that_ setlist! Time for me to watch that show again, for the first time in yonks! 😉
This is good but i must agree with the previous commentor, you need need to watch Closer to the Heart Live in Cleveland 2004. That is the best version of the song and the crowd is insane
I was at THAT concert, my first of many. I was 16 and drove the 65 miles to Toronto with three friends from high school.
what a memory to have. Did you know it was being filmed?
@@paulgarcia1566, if memory serves, it was mentioned at the beginning of the show.
Rush is absolutely awesome. You definitely have to appreciate the talent and purity in the music.
Just think how lucky we all are to have out of billions of years that have passed and that are to come, we lived durning the eras of Rush! Thats amazing to think about. I saw them just once, it was a lifelong dream!
Closer To The Heart always sounds great live. Can't wait for your Xanadu reaction. That song will blow your mind!
You should watch Closer to the Heart original music video if you want to hear Geddys unbelievable voice ❤🇨🇦
1981 was my first RUSH concert, it was the Moving Pictures tour. Then 3 more times after that. Love Love Love RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Check out Subdivisions soon. Another gem.
Nearly broke my finger To Rush the neighbourhood ❤❤❤
StickHits has dome some really great remasters. When doing live performances, try to use theirs whenever possible.
Their concerts were amazing. The energy was always amazing, and their sense of humor second to none. My youngest sons first concert was before he was even born!
Another great review!!! Thank you!! Excited to see your reaction to Xanadu (1981 live)!!!!
I was lucky to see these guys 4 times. Hemispheres tour, Moving Pictures, Snakes And Arrows and Vapor Trails!! I've learned the Bass of a few of their songs including this and I'm like HOW does he play this AND sing⁉️ So if ever listen to The CAMERA EYE 👁️ Please do the studio. Live is awesome but the studio recording on headphones can't be beat (normally 😊) Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
Great reaction once again, Red! Looking forward to Xanadu.
Coming soon!
I was AT this show... it was always great when the boys played at home.
Xanadu is an excellent choice. You spoke about Geds voice being more mature so I would suggest after Xanadu, The Garden which is on Clockwork Angels. There's a great live version here on the Tube.
OMG you did Closer to the Heart! My fave Rush song. This is gonna be great.
This is a wonderful performance (the whole concert is awesome!). If you want to see another great performance from their later years, I suggest 'Between the Wheels' live from the R30 tour in Germany.
Redheadedneighbor. Geddys voice became deeper because he couldn't sing the high notes anymore. He didn't sing incorrectly, or abuse his voice, in his younger years. He just "over used" it. Singing in his style, always at a high pitch, finally caught up to him. And of course age changes everything! He's like Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden: he had a great "belt" in his early years, but singing the high notes (which is his signature sound), is not the same now. But these guys are and will always be my heroes. When the news broke here in Canada (and it WAS breaking news), that Neil passed in January of 2020 (just before the pandemic hit us all), I cried... absolutely balled my eyes out for hours! And was very depressed for days and weeks after his death. Rush had come to an end, and would never be again. R.I.P. brother Neil. Anyway, love your reactions. I can tell you really "get" Rush, which is amazing since so many don't get them...at all. Cheers from 🇨🇦.
Very true. Unfortunately Geddy over used his voice in his younger years. Plus he got older, which sucks. They were the best of the best. Didn't get "love" until later years. Were not on mainstream radio, but made it big (or should I say HUGE)! All the best from the home of Rush 🇨🇦.
Another Canadian here. I'm not great with words, but Rush was Canada's best progressive rock/metal band that this country produced. I still miss the Professor, Neil Peart. RIP. Greetings from 🇨🇦.
awwwwwwwww ... Y'know, I do now, in retrospect, feel kinda blessed having been able to see them countless times (I actually lost count of how many times) over the decades, since the mid-'70s ... But what makes me smile the most is young people like yourself discovering their music ... Bless YOU. ❤
Everyday is Rush-day,Holla...Todd from Ohio, love the site and reaction...Todd from Ohio...
RHN, you should watch the "Different Stages" version of Closer to the Heart! It is a compilation video, all mashed together, of the many different videos of Rush playing that song, from 1977, to 1984, to 1988, and in 1996. It's a really fun compilation and the recording is from the Test for Echo tour and that version is really wild! Check out this: ruclips.net/video/MeCczUfCcsU/видео.html
Thank you for your excellent reaction and please keep enjoying yourself and making more of these videos. I was lucky enough to see them twice even though I live in the UK and yes as good as the video is being there was so much better. Truly the greatest trio of all time.
One of my favorites concert videos.
Quite an experience as you well know to see and hear their journey through the years along with the rest of us. The Rush experience. Well done..
3 simultaneous solos ! ! ! Watching them closely you never see them signaling for transitions, they know each other so well and the music, it’s just pure chemistry.
Only saw them 11 times but some of the best concerts I have ever been to. Had the honor of meeting Geddy rather early in my concerts and he is the most humble dude you can ever meet. BTW..... even if you hate the word Xanadu, it is still a must do. I played Bass in my younger years and I felt like a "real" bass player once I learned that song Tough as hell and he does it while singing.
Geddy during his power mullet phase. Love it! Alex has a mini Flock of Seagulls thing going on too. The 80s hair was fun
That mullet is a magic mullet
I love the enthusiasm that you have for these guys, they have been my favorite for ever. If you want to dive even deeper into what they are all about, then you should listen to, OMG, so many songs, to Natural Science, or the Camera Eye.
P.S. I wish you were my neighbor, because I am a sucker for redheads.
This song is great, and more popular, but in my opinion A Farewell to Kings is even better. The lyrics are fantastic.
Yeah...I saw them live 11 times through the years. My favorite band...
Buckled in for Xanadu! Enjoy!!
There is no such thing as a bad Rush performance. I saw them in concert at least a dozen times myself. And from the mid-90s onward, they played a three hour show with no opening band. They never failed to put on an amazing performance. And they are my favorite band of all time, with Nightwish being a very close second.
'Xanadu' is from the same album, 'A Farewell to Kings'(1977)🎸
If U haven't seen it, the official video for side 1 of their great album 2112. Plus seeing them perform the same side 1 live. As for connection... Alex and Getty met in High School. They also hold the record for the 2nd band without a lineup change at 41 yrs. #1 of course is The Stones. at 60+????.
They were an incredible band.
This was the Grace Under Pressure Tour. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was my 5th show by then and I knew I was a Lifer. It crushes me that I'll never see them again.
I saw RUSH 2112 tour . At 65 years old I believe that they are as fresh as ever! R . I. P . Neil Peart.
This one is beautiful, Xanadu is STRONG 💪! Great video!
Nice as always Ms Neighbor of the red headed persuasion. Appreciate the reaction
I appreciate you
@@redheadedneighbor always
No other bands with 3 guys can beat soundwise ❤❤ I will say it we love you for the same reason you are a great lady and just amazing 💕💕💕💯💯💯#reaction #rush #rushreaction #geddylee #alexlifeson #nealpeart #reaction #rush #rushreaction #geddylee #alexlifeson #nealpeart ❤❤❤ #redheadedneighbor #bestreactor #redsarmy #beautifulduncountrygirl #heartofgoldwithmetalinhersoul
What about the little ol band from Texas ZZ TOP?I love both bands music . I can't even think of any other 3 piece bands right now. These two are what matters to me anyway. Peace
@@captainmoretokin2172 Stray Cats I have seen them in Concert as well LOL❤❤💘💘
@@texassendero4901Oh yeah Rock this town Stray cats . they were good too , but if it were a contest Rush would win ZZ in second .lol
This is from their 1984 Grace Under Pressure Tour Concert, Live in Toronto. The entire show is fantastic, and I would recommend the song and performance of "The Weapon", from the same concert, with introduction by Count Floyd(the late Joe Flaherty). A favorite, for sure!.
The studio versions of Rush songs are so tight. To see them play them live - two words. Absolutely Fantastic!! But, you must do The Garden Live. Very emotional. The last song on their last album.
I think sometimes things are relative. I always wanted to see led zeppelin, jimmy Hendrix the power puff girls lol , to name a few. I know the feeling, only in this case, I was the fortunate , to see rush live many times over the years, I like to say, it was like visiting your best friends, you haven't seen for a quite a time, yet they don't know who you are! lol. definitely Xanadu exit stage left concert, certainly going to fry! some eggs for you. Great reaction as usually
Glad You discoverd their music
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 I absolutely love those lines,
you can be the captain
and I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
For me it means as a couple we will work together as a team, even if I have to be the captain, my number 1 will chart the course, on which way we will sail into destiny, those lines make me feel sooooo incredibly happy, wouldn't that just be out of this world beyond awesome; if that was a reality, I smile brightly 🌞
You get it. Love this one. 💞
Howdy, Neighbor! Watched for a while... first comment... Been an obsessive Rush fan since I was in 7th grade and a neighbor brought over their copy of 2112...
I saw them live 17 times, and I miss them every single day.
If I may be so bold, some lesser-known songs that you may want to explore... "Territories" off "Power Windows" (1985), "Earthshine" (Vapor Trails, 2002), and "Workin' Them Angels" (Snakes & Arrows, 2007)
Love what you're doing! Thanks!!
Please more Rush days 😂 Between all the songs I love I'd suggest Entre Nous, losin it, chemistry, Cygnus X-1 book II plus all the others 😂
🏆🏆🏆🏆!
Best trio ever ! Bar none ! I'm from T,O. and saw them in the 70's as a bar band and they were phenomenal !Many concerts later I can honestly say they were great and such wonderful people! Great musicians in their own right ! Greatest drummer ever ! R.I.P. Neil Peart ! Thank you for posting one of the great concerts in our hometown. They are one of Canada's greatest bands ever and have a huge following worldwide. That is for sure. Although they were not mainstream music, their fans are the most loyal in the world and I know everyone who has ever witnessed them will tell you how great they really were. I miss them so much. Thanks for bringing this memory back. Send you much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
Saw them 10-11 times? This tour was prob my 3rd show? I was in high school. Those crazy 80's hair days!!
The "Live from Birmingham UK -'88" version of this has Geddy playing a bit more at the end and Alex being just as goofy as always. keep up the great work.
The first time I heard Rush was Tom Sawyer in fifth grade and I thought it was the best thing I ever heard. Then over the years I bought all of their albums and they are without a doubt my favorite band. At 25 I played in a Rush tribute band called Counterparts.
Hey RHN!! You had mentioned about how you had wished you could have seen them live. I’ve been to 3 concerts. My first time the played Tom Sawyer as the opener. I instantly started sobbing. Mr. Peart was/is my hero. And I was so moved. I equate it to my pilgrimage to Mecca. I had been wanting this for so many years my emotions took over. I’m not saying other music can’t move you in that same way. But the buildup of years of worship turned me into a blubbering mess.
Miss you professor!!
I love this so much
It has always amazed me how Geddy could play those funky bass lines while singing.
That is really amazing! That coordination is amazing
@@redheadedneighbor Even the great Buddy Guy couldn't play and sing at the same time.
TY!🧡💛💚💙😎
Xanadu -Exit Stage Left (Montreal)
RUclips Reactionarist You Must Be Closer to the Heart. ❤️ ❤️ ♥️
😋
Just seeing how happy you are watching them gives me immense joy! ❤😊
2112 live remastered 1997 in Toronto, the best version live of this masterpiece. Also Natural Science, same concert. Musicianship at its best.
Rush is amazing they are so good in concert thanks Red great reaction 🤟🤘
One of my favorite songs from Rush is Role the Bones
Great guys, great, music, great musicians!! Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Rush!!!!
I love it in the breakdown near the end they turn int The Police!
Xanadu the live 1981 version is a pure treat to watch and listen to.
Saw them 31 times starting with moving pictures tour . Wish it would have been more . I knew from the beginning I was seeing something that was awesome.
You are a very beautiful woman. Keep up the good work love Rush and Loverboy & Triumph
Closer to the heart was a very worn out song, they actually got tired of it. But when they went to Rio they found out it was very popular in Brazil. So they kept playing it with a few changes after Rio. The last four live shows had different vibe for the intro. To this song.
Think about it when they put out 2112 the studio told him to make a bunch of radio songs and they said screw it but they thought it was going to bomb and it would be the down the drains to her and they would all go back to what they did before they played music. It's funny because 2112 is when I discovered Russ when I was 13 years old... and then seen them so many times since. I even took my 10-year-old daughter with my wife to see them in 2015 and Nationwide Arena in Columbus Ohio for the last time.
Geddy & Alex have been best friends since meeting in Middle School in a Suburb of Toronto 1967. Alex is the one that started the Band Rush. The original drummer John Rutsey's Brother named the Band RUSH. They had a bass player that quit after a few weeks. Alex asked Geddy to join the band in September 1968 to be the bass player and singer. You would Love the acoustic Live version of song Resist. I cried the first time I saw Geddy & Alex sitting down and playing this beautiful song. Geddy on a 6-string guitar and Alex on a 12-string guitar. (Magical)I saw Rush 5 times.
I didn't know the guitarist from a Flock of seagulls played with Rush! 😜
Lol
The Holy Triumvirate
(If you have never seen the movie, I LOVE YOU MAN, you should watch it! They have a relatively small cameo appearance in the movie and it’s fantastic!)
Yes!!! Poor Alex!
Went once to see them. Best concert ever.
