It’s how I learned to play the drum set. Rush tshirts, rush posters, drawing rush on my notebooks, framing my rush first album self-art. Still have that drawing. So dear to my heart. Playing drums to Rush with big headphones on. Just home.
When you realize Neil wrote most of their songs, including this one, and you actually read the lyrics, kind of brings a tear to your eye, because they lyrics are so well laid out, it paints a picture in your head, and pretty much every song is based on pure freedom and life in its purest form. Rush is and always will be timeless and rust proof. I wish they had a museum made for them entirely.
Neil got this song from a story he read in road and track and gives credit to the author in the liner notes to moving pictures. Years later he arranged to meet the guy and they rode their motor cycles through the Appalachians to Rush's next concert where he was given the vip treatment. 😊
MIDI didn't exist at this time...to paraphrase Geddy "we were doing MIDI before MIDI." The Taurus pedals are also triggering other synths...probably the OBXa or Jupiter 8. Listen closely you hear both a lower bass (Taurus) sound and a higher string (OBXa or Jupiter 8).
Don Smith ....but remember, they also used it to trigger different sounds from the Oberheims as well. Probably by creating some interface to the CV out of the Taurus pedals...
I first heard Rush as a kid when "Permanent Waves" came out, but I got hooked after "Moving Pictures". Last time I got to see them live was on the Time Machine tour in 2010 and even though they were pushing 60 years old they were fantastic. RIP Neil you are dearly missed.
COME ON PEOPLE..... HOW GREAT IS THIS BAND AT THEIR APEX.??? This is a LIVE recording. No tricks no BS. Even if your a musician who never liked this band you cannot deny how good this is. From the writing, the originality and the playing by 3 of the best to play those instruments. Thanks for the memories Neil. RIP and ride safe.
They sound just like the albums. I saw Signals live in 83-84. Exact duplicate of the album!! No other catalog of music like them. I play drumcovers & Neil is tricky. Very Buddy Rich/ Keith Moon inspired right their! Neil was a great!
@@drumcrazycrary I saw them about 10 years after you did and it was pure magic! My favorite concerts were Rush because you knew exactly that you'd get pure perfection. I saw them two more times and was always amazed at the sound they put together. Never will I see that again. :(
@@deannikitas6393 Rush sums up magic. RIP Neil Peart an awesome drummer that can't be imitated respectfully imo. Never will be another drummer like him that can also write the lyrics to the songs.
I always really loved this song a lot. I’m glad it’s not just me. This is a gateway drug offered by the players to become associated with freedom by providing an exciting escapist thrill-ride so we could learn to enjoy our minds. Listen, millions of people have come to the teachings of Peart through his always excellent efforts. He taught us that we are above our captivity. He taught us how to see it. He rushed in and saved us. I have an argument that Peart and Co. are QAnon. The graphic novel of 2112 just about proves it timing wise. But, either way, whoever is the Q Group, certainly have listened to and found their hearts for freedom partly by listening to, reading, and understanding the messages given to us by Rush. So, I salute the dynamic trio for soldering for nearly fifty years bringing millions upon millions of us to our senses and priming the pump which is now draining swamps worldwide in unison. We are all Q now. I think Rush definitely deserves a humanitarian award for their lifetime of service and making it sound good. Always outside of the system. Working. I wonder how many people get this point? Neil said that it was great to finally be “indicted” into the Rock Hall of Fame. Lots probably thought him ignorant till he then said, “Perhaps we will one day indict all of you?” It was a play on induct. Well, here we are. Could Peart through intention and practice actually become a functioning king through off-beat ensyncopation self-appointment? I think that is what we saw. He doesn’t like people to fawn over him. He hates it. It made him reclusive to spare the embarrassment. However, others took the message to heart and also became individually excellent at something and then organized to save the world. This is my opinion based of hundreds of facts and observations which go back decades and come to the present and form a united, goal oriented, path towards the love of truth. Thank you gentlemen Gary, Alex, and Neil. Congratulations! You have changed the world. Carter from Louisiana
This whole concert they are just at the peak of their powers. They used to play it on MTV and I was enamored of it then and now . Incredible craftsmanship. One of the greatest bands all time. Period.
@@davidpaz9389 pretty much the same here . . .. I tore up my hands learning to play bass to Rush (and Duran Duran--that stuff is a different kind of fire)
"Wind in my hair, shifting and drifting, mechanical music, adrenaline surge." Anyone that's cracked the throttle on a motorcycle or car on a countryside drive with the windows down knows what Neil is laying down. Neil was a gearhead himself. We probably all unwittingly encountered him on his beloved motorcycle treks around the world.
I have christened every car I've ever owned by listening to this song on repeat for the first week. It's the perfect driving song. RIP Professor. Thanks for everything. 👍
Nice. Wish i did that with my car. After the media flu lyes and as dictates by their leftist's evil masters, it is clear they want this song to be reality. Will i be able to play this song in a new car in years to come?
Thank you J.T. Curtis, yes J.T. I just found out about Neil, and I am still crying about it bro. Have a great New Year J.T. from Indiana. And May God Bless Mr. Peart. he was a ONE OF A KIND!
My dad was a massive rush fan, saw them like 6-10 times and unfortunately was never able to take me to a rush concert. My parents got front row seats during R40 tour and said they were as amazing as ever. Truly a sad moment for rock and roll and especially for drumming with him gone
Suddenly ahead of me Across the mountain side A gleaming alloy-air car shoots towards me two lanes wide I spin around with shrieking tires to run the deadly race Go screaming through the valley as another joins the chase I fucking love Rush
I think this is when they were at their peak. Absolute perfection. I'm 62 and have seen them 5-6 times. I started listening to their music in the mid 70's.
Rush was by far the best band I have ever heard Live!!! The powerful sounds coming from just 3 men is unbelievable to hear live! Their sound techs and crew are the best in the business period!
I love all kinds of Power Trios. Rush, Steve Morse Band, Satriani (When he was just a trio), SRV, Hendrix and many others. For some reason as a guitar player, just guitar, bass and drums doing as much as possible is my favorite thing.
Roger Taylor - Queen, Steve Gadd, Vinnie Paul - Pantera, Ian Paice - Deep Purple, Daniel Seraphine - Chicago, Ringo, Brian Bennett - The Shadows, Mel Taylor - The Ventures, Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa.
Wow we have the same taste !! Ian Paice could keep a beat like no other ! Roger Taylor was simple but perfect.... Always loved The Ventures... i heard that a lot of that band was in trouble with the law at one time or another... dont know if it was true or not ..
I think this version is even better than on Moving Pictures. The guys obviously loved playing this song, and what an incridible sound production they made back then.
Amen to that. Above all and foremost comes The Word of God,[The Bible] then the writings of mr peart are very intellectual and often spiritual. Rush is 2nd to none in the musical industry. Lyrically and musically they stand alone.
This old Aussie has been listening to this band since1974, without doubt three of the most talented musicians to have ever graced the planet, giving us diverse intellectual music with thought provoking lyrics,masterful playing and composers of the highest degree,can anyone tell me of another band that you can listen to the same song three times,but listening to just Neil's drums,then Geds bass, then Alex on guitar,I can't think of another band that can make you do that, we get triple value out of each song,just unberfuckingleavable.
i pray that neil is in Heaven. He definetly knew somethings about the Bible and God. a few examples are distant early warning when at the end of the song he writes "Absolom' who is king Davids son who wants the throne his father has,before he is ready for it. Hence the title"distant early warning" and at the end of "big money" he writes "big money got no soul". And Jesus said" verily verily I say unto you,how hardly is he who has riches to enter into The Kingdom of God". so i pray that Neil and us all have believed in The Lord Jesus Christ as our personal savior so we might all be forgiven of our sins and those who are no longer with us, taken into The Kingdom of Heaven. Amen
This song is got to be the best driving song ever written! Everytime i take a drive, i crank this one up in my car radio! Just awesome! Rip🙏Neil Pert👋😢you're definetly will be missed!
A masterpiece. Rush was absolutely the most precision rock band ever. I saw them in Dallas in the early 1980's. Their concerts were spot-on with their albums. I'm 62 now and remain a loyal fan. Certainly one of Canada's best rock bands.
I stumbled onto the Exit Stage Left cassette tape in the basement of a house at an 8th great party. From there, I listened to it every day on my Walkman while delivering newspapers every afternoon. As an aspiring drummer, I felt like I had found something very special and incredibly important. My life changed as a result of this live album.
Saw “Moving Pictures” Tour in September 1981 at the Hemisfair Arena in San Antonio, Texas. The greatest concert of my young life. Was a freshman in high school (Texas Military Institute) at the time. What a great pleasure and honor to see the guys play. One of the many blessings in my life.
Neil can't just keep a simple beat can he? Damn every song is an adventure. You, sometimes, have to listen to a song several times just to follow an individual player. Classic.
@@williambradley8004 - Ah... The joys of a great big fat endorsement contract from Fender! 😁Suddenly everything's different and better and the past never happened... What's significant is that Geddy took his Rickenbacker 'signature sound' to Fender when he made the move; they very kindly reverse-engineered the pop, crack, grind and snarl to produce the Geddy Lee bass. Hmm. It may say Fender on the headstock, but what we're hearing is pure Ricky.
"Red Barchetta" is, in my opinion, about as close to songwriting perfection--the synergistic marriage of great lyrics to great music--as there is. Arguably, it's the most "cinematic" song in the history of recorded music--certainly in the history of recorded rock music. Incidentally, at the one-lane bridge, 76 people were left stranded at the riverside.
For Those Teenagers looking for their Ultimate Car Song... For we old Guys looking for our Youth with the Ultimate car song,...There is No Better Than This!
People sometimes wonder why this era produced the best music and best musicians ever. I’m only 34 but I know why… this was it, our freedom as a society & electronics were at the right spot, while there are pieces of it that have reached new heights society has become obsessed with other things, spending all the time you have growing up playing an instrument for fun isn’t a thing kids really do anymore. Instead of 3 great friends with amazing talents coming together and forming Rush they’re playing Rocket league, maybe they’re really good and make money from it, but it has no impact on society and won’t move future generations. Rush will!
Too bad you never saw that "young" side of your parents....they were so cool back then....what a bummer, they of all people trying to give you " good advice" in your life...after what they did..back then. ;) lol
Neil was an absolute perfectionist who would listen to the live tapes for the slightest mistake or miscue and make a note about it. It's hard to believe one man is playing the drums.
This is the sound of my childhood as a Canadian. I didn’t appreciate them as much as I should have. For the three of them to do this for so many years and, remain away from the temptations of the industry, and always be professional, is something to admire. On top of all that, we get masterpieces like this. RUSH is one of a kind in almost every way. Thank you for the music and, rip professor.
Used to play the Moving pictures vinyl album in 1982. As a drummer it was an absolutely brilliant album on vinyl. In the 22nd century the folk will be raving about Limelight and Tom Sawyer and Red Barchetta and all the albums Rush generously gifted the world. Thank you so much.
@@zachsmith3 agree. Not that it matters much, but Alex around this period looks his best / healthiest. This era was Rush in their absolute prime imo. The goldilocks zone between the early minimalistic effects & screaming years, and the later new wave era where Alex's guitars were buried under a mountain of synthesizers.
My uncle has a country place That no one knows about He says it used to be a farm Before the Motor Law And on Sundays I elude the eyes And hop the Turbine Freight To far outside the Wire Where my white-haired uncle waits Jump to the ground As the Turbo slows to cross the borderline Run like the wind As excitement shivers up and down my spine Down in his barn My uncle preserved for me an old machine For fifty odd years To keep it as new has been his dearest dream I strip away the old debris That hides a shining car A brilliant red Barchetta From a better vanished time I fire up the willing engine Responding with a roar Tires spitting gravel I commit my weekly crime Wind In my hair Shifting and drifting Mechanical music Adrenaline surge Well-weathered leather Hot metal and oil The scented country air Sunlight on chrome The blur of the landscape Every nerve aware Suddenly ahead of me Across the mountainside A gleaming alloy air car Shoots towards me, two lanes wide I spin around with shrieking tires To run the deadly race Go screaming through the valley As another joins the chase Drive like the wind Straining the limits of machine and man Laughing out loud with fear and hope I've got a desperate plan At the one-lane bridge I leave the giants stranded at the riverside Race back to the farm To dream with my uncle at the fireside
THE DRUMMER WHO INFLUENCED EVERY ROCK DRUMMER IN THE LAST 40 TO 50 YEARS IN ALL GENRES/ METAL// CLASSIC// PROGRESSIVE// EVERY TYPE OF MUSIC WITH DRUMMING IN IT( MR.NEIL PEART) MAY YOU BE IN COMFORT AND HAPPINESS)
Little did these 3 kids jamming this song on stage here know that they would be super popular and well known in their future lifetimes ahead of themselves. With extreme effort and talent this will be the final outcome.
The most cinematic 6 minutes of music ever written. There’s more story content in this one song than anything Hollywood is producing now a days. The imagery is so strong. I feel that even though we’ve never seen these characters and this setting with our own eyes, everyone who is listening pretty much has the exact same images running through their mind. That’s why Rush, to me, is the greatest band of all time. No other band would have the ambition, the courage, the forward thinking, or even the talent to try and attempt something like this.
Can't believe Neil isn't alive! It still doesn't seem real. He was truly one of the greatest musicians who ever lived! Rush was the music of my generation, and will be with me until I'm gone!
2:06 - 2:33 I'm no live musician (barely a musician at all), but I imagine the peak of any musician's career is getting the crowd to sing along with you. It's gotta be one of the best feelings ever!
Every other band would kill to have a live sound as faithful to the studio as Rush had. From what I've seen, only Alan Parsons and Gentle Giant came close.
My uncle kept a 2010 Harley Davidson Dyna Fat Bob in his shop for me, because when I was about 15 or so, I told him I’d buy it when he gets sick of it. The color code of the bike is scarlet red. I named it after this song, and every time I listen to this, it brings a tear to my eye.
Who’s here August 2024!? I’ve loved Rush since I was a kid. ❤
Me too. First concert I ever seen
Yip, count me in.
holding it down for september
It’s how I learned to play the drum set. Rush tshirts, rush posters, drawing rush on my notebooks, framing my rush first album self-art. Still have that drawing. So dear to my heart. Playing drums to Rush with big headphones on. Just home.
Neal’s casual drum fills in between measures are like aural memories, they are like words talking to me.
When you realize Neil wrote most of their songs, including this one, and you actually read the lyrics, kind of brings a tear to your eye, because they lyrics are so well laid out, it paints a picture in your head, and pretty much every song is based on pure freedom and life in its purest form. Rush is and always will be timeless and rust proof. I wish they had a museum made for them entirely.
Lyrics
Neil got this song from a story he read in road and track and gives credit to the author in the liner notes to moving pictures. Years later he arranged to meet the guy and they rode their motor cycles through the Appalachians to Rush's next concert where he was given the vip treatment. 😊
You said it all brother,and this is a man from Oklahoma, Love Alex but you have to admit MR Gilmore is the shit!!!¡!!!!!!!
@@huberttroxell161 oh, David Gilmore is a god. Hands down one of my all time favorite guitarists. Him and van Halen.
He wrote most of the bands lyrics, not music.
3 men and this kind of music will never be heard again. Neil was the BEST
And my ears are grateful...that its over
@@markkindermannart4028 wow your real successful moron
He was fucking amszing
@@markkindermannart4028 laaame :/
Great music still 40+ years later….just wow
2024 and still rocking
4:03...Geddy Lee on triple duty, playing bass, singing, AND playing midi pedals. The man is beyond remarkable (all three of them are, really).
Kris Carter I believe that his pedal set is called Taurus Bass Pedals, by Moog.
....the guy is a monster
MIDI didn't exist at this time...to paraphrase Geddy "we were doing MIDI before MIDI." The Taurus pedals are also triggering other synths...probably the OBXa or Jupiter 8. Listen closely you hear both a lower bass (Taurus) sound and a higher string (OBXa or Jupiter 8).
Lol this concert was pre-midi! The pedal your referring too is a synth al it’s own, it a Moog Taurus bass synth
Don Smith ....but remember, they also used it to trigger different sounds from the Oberheims as well. Probably by creating some interface to the CV out of the Taurus pedals...
NEIL once said that " Moving Pictures " was the best lp they ever recorded and his personal favorite. YOU ARE DEARLY MISSED MR. PEART, RIP PROFESSOR😣
My heart is broken . Godspeed Neil
I think perhaps CA was the best album overall, though it's si hard to choose! RIP, gentle soul.
@Htx457 Hey, thanks for the link. Thats a great solo too. The video is all off sync, but we get the idea.
I first heard Rush as a kid when "Permanent Waves" came out, but I got hooked after "Moving Pictures". Last time I got to see them live was on the Time Machine tour in 2010 and even though they were pushing 60 years old they were fantastic. RIP Neil you are dearly missed.
Honestly dude this is my favorite song but I cant tell which is my favorite album between moving pictures or 2112
Three men have no right to make the sound these 3 made. Absolutely amazing ❤
WARNING: Contains one of the best drum rolls ever pealed off in the history of mankind.
This song is a complete masterpiece. It has probably been overshadowed being on an album with Tom Sawyer, YYZ and Limelight
Geddys favorite apparently.
COME ON PEOPLE..... HOW GREAT IS THIS BAND AT THEIR APEX.??? This is a LIVE recording. No tricks no BS. Even if your a musician who never liked this band you cannot deny how good this is. From the writing, the originality and the playing by 3 of the best to play those instruments.
Thanks for the memories Neil. RIP and ride safe.
They sound just like the albums. I saw Signals live in 83-84. Exact duplicate of the album!! No other catalog of music like them. I play drumcovers & Neil is tricky. Very Buddy Rich/ Keith Moon inspired right their! Neil was a great!

Honestly, I think this actually is one of the greatest pieces of music ever.
I agreed.
Yeah man i agreed
I always really loved this song a lot. I’m glad it’s not just me.
This is a gateway drug offered by the players to become associated with freedom by providing an exciting escapist thrill-ride so we could learn to enjoy our minds.
Listen, millions of people have come to the teachings of Peart through his always excellent efforts.
He taught us that we are above our captivity. He taught us how to see it. He rushed in and saved us.
I have an argument that Peart and Co. are QAnon. The graphic novel of 2112 just about proves it timing wise. But, either way, whoever is the Q Group, certainly have listened to and found their hearts for freedom partly by listening to, reading, and understanding the messages given to us by Rush. So, I salute the dynamic trio for soldering for nearly fifty years bringing millions upon millions of us to our senses and priming the pump which is now draining swamps worldwide in unison. We are all Q now. I think Rush definitely deserves a humanitarian award for their lifetime of service and making it sound good. Always outside of the system. Working.
I wonder how many people get this point?
Neil said that it was great to finally be “indicted” into the Rock Hall of Fame.
Lots probably thought him ignorant till he then said, “Perhaps we will one day indict all of you?” It was a play on induct.
Well, here we are. Could Peart through intention and practice actually become a functioning king through off-beat ensyncopation self-appointment?
I think that is what we saw.
He doesn’t like people to fawn over him. He hates it. It made him reclusive to spare the embarrassment.
However, others took the message to heart and also became individually excellent at something and then organized to save the world.
This is my opinion based of hundreds of facts and observations which go back decades and come to the present and form a united, goal oriented, path towards the love of truth.
Thank you gentlemen Gary, Alex, and Neil. Congratulations! You have changed the world.

There is absolutely NO doubt in my mind, this is the best piece of music ever written, period, full stop!
My God! I think you're right. From the 1st note, to the last, each on, perfection.
This whole concert they are just at the peak of their powers. They used to play it on MTV and I was enamored of it then and now .
Incredible craftsmanship.

Never gets old.....thanks Geddy, Alex & Neil for all the joy and memories.....
Rush rocks like no one else.
I hope people are still listening to this song centuries from now. It's certainly worthy of such permanence. Absolute master class in emotion.

Across the mountain side
A gleaming alloy-air car shoots towards me two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires to run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley as another joins the chase
I fucking love Rush
You got that right
Goosebumps just reading it
It seems that the future they predicted is getting much closer.
When I hear a "Gleaming Alloy Air car" in 2022, it just makes me think of a Tesla.
I think this is when they were at their peak. Absolute perfection. I'm 62 and have seen them 5-6 times. I started listening to their music in the mid 70's.

Rush played like they had 6 guys in the band. They’re all so talented they always pulled it off somehow…
Ever seen RUSH live? They were amazing. I saw them five times. I am humbled by the opportunities. Fabulous musicians.
For three dudes 😊fantastic 👍
Neil hits every piece of his drumset on the exact nano-second of every beat... every time... every song. .... The NANO-SECOND.
he is one of the best drummers in the world !!!!!!!!!!

Pretty much a note-by-note reproduction of the studio version. Pretty damn impressive by a 3-piece.
Randsurfer h
They are players. Lots of albums are recorded live. I have them all.
Randsurfer I love Geddys change to the vocals and bass, just slight. Makes it better
Most people who don’t know RUSH would say, “Geez, that’s just like the studio album”. But damn, try to replicate any RUSH song live. Enough said...

Geddy's bass line is absolutely perfect.
Thank you Canada

You're welcome. 😁🇨🇦
One of the most talented bands ever. All three master their instruments and Neil Peart's lyrics have haunted minds of many listeners for decades.
Amen to that. Above all and foremost comes The Word of God,[The Bible] then the writings of mr peart are very intellectual and often spiritual. Rush is 2nd to none in the musical industry. Lyrically and musically they stand alone.
I wish my kids could experience a live Rush concert atmosphere like I did when I was their age.....
One of my best parent moments…..I took my kids to two Rush concerts!
@@buckcampbell3260 epic mom move for the win!

This song is got to be the best driving song ever written! Everytime i take a drive, i crank this one up in my car radio! Just awesome! Rip🙏Neil Pert👋😢you're definetly will be missed!
RIP Neil Peart. The greatest drummer and lyricist in rock music.
A masterpiece. Rush was absolutely the most precision rock band ever. I saw them in Dallas in the early 1980's. Their concerts were spot-on with their albums. I'm 62 now and remain a loyal fan. Certainly one of Canada's best rock bands.
Bro. They have the top 3 spots on Canada's all-time band list
I stumbled onto the Exit Stage Left cassette tape in the basement of a house at an 8th great party. From there, I listened to it every day on my Walkman while delivering newspapers every afternoon. As an aspiring drummer, I felt like I had found something very special and incredibly important. My life changed as a result of this live album.
RUSH Chicks RULE. We do, and there are millions of us. Don't let the stereotypes fool you! 🤘♥️
God bless you and millions of you.
Thanks yes
Agreed. Loved RUSH for almost four decades now
cringe
I love Rush chicks !
Saw “Moving Pictures” Tour in September 1981 at the Hemisfair Arena in San Antonio, Texas. The greatest concert of my young life. Was a freshman in high school (Texas Military Institute) at the time. What a great pleasure and honor to see the guys play. One of the many blessings in my life.
I could be having the worst possible day but when a rush song comes on...Life gets breathed back into my soul.
I'm here because I'm sad but this song makes me feel good. RIP Neil.
I'd be sad too if my name was Harry Sack!
seriously one of the greatest rock songs ever written.....thank you Rush!
Definitely
A masterpiece. So exhilarating!
Wow, what an experience that would have been to see them live! 😮❤ I was born too late 😢
I never stop being amazed at how these guys could play these songs live.
and half the time in the dark
Truly awesome band and music. Love this song.❤ rip Neal
Neil can't just keep a simple beat can he? Damn every song is an adventure. You, sometimes, have to listen to a song several times just to follow an individual player. Classic.
Sounds almost identical to the studio version, damn!
And is what made this whole LP so amazing.
I'm not saying i'm old, but when i saw them, the stage and video was exactly like this video.
@@brewhaha1555 Yes, and it was amazing. Best live rock show from 78 to 88.
Best comment. Not a lot of bands can pull that off.
Possibly their greatest song...prove me wrong.❤
the unrivalled sound of true friendship
omg... im gonna steal this quote!!!
Geddy's Rickenbacker 4001 is the best sound he's ever had
If that were so he wouldn't have switched to his Jazz Bass.
Ged always had the best sound, the man isn't human!
@@williambradley8004 - Ah... The joys of a great big fat endorsement contract from Fender! 😁Suddenly everything's different and better and the past never happened...
What's significant is that Geddy took his Rickenbacker 'signature sound' to Fender when he made the move; they very kindly reverse-engineered the pop, crack, grind and snarl to produce the Geddy Lee bass.
Hmm.
It may say Fender on the headstock, but what we're hearing is pure Ricky.
"Red Barchetta" is, in my opinion, about as close to songwriting perfection--the synergistic marriage of great lyrics to great music--as there is.
Arguably, it's the most "cinematic" song in the history of recorded music--certainly in the history of recorded rock music.
Incidentally, at the one-lane bridge, 76 people were left stranded at the riverside.
Joel D. Terry You are absolutely right.
This song is quite close to perfection in every aspect.
Perfectly said.
Joel D. Terry The trees
Also a masterpiece
Amen. It really doesn’t get any better than this.
It's a very visual song. I can see it and hear it, and that is perfect.
For Those Teenagers looking for their Ultimate Car Song... For we old Guys looking for our Youth with the Ultimate car song,...There is No Better Than This!
Nowadays car songs be about civics and teslas instead of old Ferraris
Many of the early Rush songs were about freedom and openness, something most people no longer value these days. This is one of these songs.
People sometimes wonder why this era produced the best music and best musicians ever. I’m only 34 but I know why… this was it, our freedom as a society & electronics were at the right spot, while there are pieces of it that have reached new heights society has become obsessed with other things, spending all the time you have growing up playing an instrument for fun isn’t a thing kids really do anymore. Instead of 3 great friends with amazing talents coming together and forming Rush they’re playing Rocket league, maybe they’re really good and make money from it, but it has no impact on society and won’t move future generations. Rush will!
Still amazing 40 years later. Will still be amazing 40 years from now. And 40 years after that. And 40 years after that. Neil, thank you and R.I.P.
... and 40 years after that.
My parent's first date was a Rush concert
Infinity On High-Functioning Sociopath very cool !
That’s quite a first date
That's a date you don't forget! Che forza!
Too bad you never saw that "young" side of your parents....they were so cool back then....what a bummer, they of all people trying to give you " good advice" in your life...after what they did..back then. ;) lol
That's cool, I met my wife at a show
Tears of joy watching this rendition of the celebration that will always be RUSH.
3 incrdible musicians making AMAZING music...
Neil was an absolute perfectionist who would listen to the live tapes for the slightest mistake or miscue and make a note about it. It's hard to believe one man is playing the drums.
All Time Driving Tune, no doubts. I have driven at some ridiculous speeds listening to this song, then YYZ keeps it totally alive! Thanks RUSH!
Holy shit this sounds incredible. They're always incredible live but this fedelity is ridiculous. Every bass note is so clear.
As a teenager this music was magical and took me to places I had never been
And again....
Here we are 40 YEARS LATER (how is that even possible!?!?), mourning the loss of one of these incredible people.
40 years.. a speck in the grand scheme but my goodness, how did it go so quickly for me
@@cygnustsp
Exactly!
This is the sound of my childhood as a Canadian. I didn’t appreciate them as much as I should have. For the three of them to do this for so many years and, remain away from the temptations of the industry, and always be professional, is something to admire. On top of all that, we get masterpieces like this. RUSH is one of a kind in almost every way. Thank you for the music and, rip professor.
Love the name Canadian Bacon... Seems I have a bootleg by the same name....
Such an awesome band.....3 dudes....amazing sound
RIP Neil. This is my favorite Rush song.
Mine as well.
@POINTTWOFIVEMOA It did that to me.
1/10/2020 remembering Neil Peart. Thoughts and prayers to his family including Alex and Geddy. Thanks for the great music...
PERFECTION. Thanks God for the Gift of Rush.🙏🙏🙏
Rush is timeless and saw the future...
At the peak of their power. Alex's solo is perfection... truly sounds like a car taking off.
Used to play the Moving pictures vinyl album in 1982. As a drummer it was an absolutely brilliant album on vinyl. In the 22nd century the folk will be raving about Limelight and Tom Sawyer and Red Barchetta and all the albums Rush generously gifted the world. Thank you so much.
Best concert ever!
I bet! I wish I had seen them live 😪
Red Barchetta has to be one of the smoothest songs ever. Blast it while driving on the highway.
I freaking agree with you on this one!
A timeless piece even live.
That outro section is so absolutely gorgeous.
Fits the song. It has some innocence to it
I am always blown away by Alex's incredible guitar playing throughout this entire show!
Caleb Bartlett plus the amazing guitar faces
He also looks great, all around chills. what a legend
@@zachsmith3 agree. Not that it matters much, but Alex around this period looks his best / healthiest. This era was Rush in their absolute prime imo. The goldilocks zone between the early minimalistic effects & screaming years, and the later new wave era where Alex's guitars were buried under a mountain of synthesizers.
I sometimes can't believe all that guitar is from one guitar player... It's absolutely mind-blowing
My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm
Before the Motor Law
And on Sundays I elude the eyes
And hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire
Where my white-haired uncle waits
Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the borderline
Run like the wind
As excitement shivers up and down my spine
Down in his barn
My uncle preserved for me an old machine
For fifty odd years
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream
I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better vanished time
I fire up the willing engine
Responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel
I commit my weekly crime
Wind
In my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge
Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware
Suddenly ahead of me
Across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires
To run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase
Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud with fear and hope
I've got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle at the fireside
In my opinion, this is one of their BEST songs, musically and lyrically.
They into music hall of fame
THE DRUMMER WHO INFLUENCED EVERY ROCK DRUMMER IN THE LAST 40 TO 50 YEARS IN ALL GENRES/ METAL// CLASSIC// PROGRESSIVE// EVERY TYPE OF MUSIC WITH DRUMMING IN IT( MR.NEIL PEART) MAY YOU BE IN COMFORT AND HAPPINESS)
All that from 3 guys! Damn! Neil Peart is a beast!
sasquatch to be exact??
I know this post was 5 years ago but I still got to say yeah sometimes I forget there's only three of them up there.
When MTV was great! first seen this concert on MTV in 1981, still awesome footage!
now mtv only plays reality shows and rap videos.
Technically excellent band and amazing vocals. But this song is pure poetry. Some of the most beautiful lyrics ever written.
SOOO f'n true.. Pure genius these three.
I miss you professor. ♥️
Little did these 3 kids jamming this song on stage here know that they would be super popular and well known in their future lifetimes ahead of themselves. With extreme effort and talent this will be the final outcome.
The most cinematic 6 minutes of music ever written. There’s more story content in this one song than anything Hollywood is producing now a days. The imagery is so strong. I feel that even though we’ve never seen these characters and this setting with our own eyes, everyone who is listening pretty much has the exact same images running through their mind. That’s why Rush, to me, is the greatest band of all time. No other band would have the ambition, the courage, the forward thinking, or even the talent to try and attempt something like this.
Amen. It made the me the Texas
Man I am!!!!
Live rock and roll simply doesn't get any better than this. Astoundingly awesome!
ce See 35e try set err3e st3eeree3fee Rd dq eec3ewee stewed eer rye 4err
Literally the greatest music lineup ever…….
Apparently 283 "people" can't tell the left from the right.....How can you thumb down this??? REAL MUSIC
Can't believe Neil isn't alive! It still doesn't seem real. He was truly one of the greatest musicians who ever lived! Rush was the music of my generation, and will be with me until I'm gone!
2:06 - 2:33 I'm no live musician (barely a musician at all), but I imagine the peak of any musician's career is getting the crowd to sing along with you. It's gotta be one of the best feelings ever!
Just my humble, 57 yo opinion, one of the best songs, lyrically and instrumentally, in history
Every other band would kill to have a live sound as faithful to the studio as Rush had. From what I've seen, only Alan Parsons and Gentle Giant came close.
I saw the Alan Parsons Live Project here in Dallas a few years ago. They sounded extremely faithful to the studio recordings! Amazing!!
My uncle kept a 2010 Harley Davidson Dyna Fat Bob in his shop for me, because when I was about 15 or so, I told him I’d buy it when he gets sick of it. The color code of the bike is scarlet red. I named it after this song, and every time I listen to this, it brings a tear to my eye.
This is THE Rush song for me. The first one I remember connecting with when I’d hear my brother play their albums over and over as a kid.
