Ah, Red Barchetta. The song that got me out a speeding ticket cuz the cop was a Rush fan.
Lolololol
@@CharisSellickruclips.net/video/MeCczUfCcsU/видео.htmlsi=-rfqwSeX_4Ag4bLn
Please
So, wtf? Did you tell the cop that you would abide by the "Motor Law" in future? lol
It’s like you can’t help but pick up speed while this song is playing.
This song makes me want to learn how to drive everytime I hear this! 🥰🐰
Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson were both 28 here, Neil Peart was 29. it's crazy how at this point they've released 8 studio albums and 2 live albums and they hadn't even hit 30 yet.
Red Bruschetta
"Down on the Farm, my Uncle preserved for me a crusty baguette for 50 odd years, to Keep his Balsamic Fresh was his dearest dream! I strip away the garlic skins that hide a shining clove, with brilliant red tomatoes sprinkled here and there in droves..Fire up the willing broiler, responding with a flame, drizzling with olive oil, until my hungers tamed!"
That's hilarious. This comment probably won't get its proper due and will get buried rather than 'rising' to the top. I 'kneaded' humor like this today, so, thank you for that.
Oh the Pain.
@tfoshohoe - Ah oui! Le pain!
🥖😄
@LowcountryJoe2 - 😁👍
The story behind Neil writing the lyrics: "The original inspiration for 'Red Barchetta' was the short story 'A Nice Morning Drive', which I read in a 1973 Road & Track magazine....". RIP to "The Professor".
As a car guy, this song has a power over me like no other. When I put myself into the POV of the protagonist of the song, it brings a tear to my eye imagining the pure joy of reuniting with an outdated car that's well maintained and loved by its owner.
This is my favourite Rush song. It paints such a vivid story for me.
It’s a must every time I get my car out out it’s loudest rolling through the country side… nothing better… anything Rush song, but this one tops it….
Sometimes the guitar drives the song, sometimes, the bass and sometimes even the drums, with the other parts complementing perfectly, along with concise lyrical treatment conveying a fully fleshed out story. . Masterpiece.
You picked a great one. This song is very underrated and rarely reacted to plus you picked the best version of this song. Congrats.
Finally I did something right 😭
I'm from Canada and Rush is a national gem musically! If you haven't listened to the Rush song 'La Villa Strangiato' it's definitely worth checking out! It really displays how talented the band is
Check out their swann song... The Garden, Live Clockwork Angels tour. So amazing that Neil wrote such meaningful lyrics for what would end up, unexpectedly, being the last song on the last album before he was diagnosed with brain cancer. It's very moving, especially to die hard Rush fans that were following them for decades.
Yes. Absolutely. And then watch the live (video) version!
Greatest driving song ever. Widows down, sunroof open, premium sound cranked, winding country road.
Your phone seems to like widows better than windows, though! 😅
I think they've said that the pronunciation they used for Barchetta was a mistake, but they didn't realize it until well after the song was out, and just kept singing it that way to be consistent.
next one from Rush - Red Sector A = song sbout holocaust . Geddy Lee parents was survive to holocaust . Neil Peart deep lyric . 🎶🎶
The 80s were awesome. The music was positive and epic. Rush were a huge part of my life in those years.
The 80's were only awesome because bands like Rush helped drown out the other crap
You can't discount Alex's contributions to the fullness of the sound. Granted, in the later stages of this era he did take a back seat to synthesizer, but his chord voicings (and the car effects on this song which come from his guitar) glue everything together. One could make an entire course called "Power Trio Guitar Playing 101" based upon his playing style. Alex Lifeson is the unsung hero of this band after all the attention given to Neil and Geddy. Not to say that Neil and Geddy don't deserve their accolades, bur Alex is treated like the middle child; much like bassists of the majority of bands.
Very well written comment. Rush is my #1...I played bass 40 years, learning many Geddy Lee bass lines got me better and better as a bassist. BUT, my dumbass was so focused on bass and drums for about 30 years until one day it hit me...while listening to Alex on Natural Science...damn, it finally sunk in, he is a...a...a...uummm...BAD MOTHA-PHUKKA!
Alex is an amazing guitarist who does not get enough credit.
Alex Lifeson is probably the most underrated guitar player of all time…
The animation you saw was actually from the backdrop onstage so the audience saw that as well. I saw Rush 5 times in the 70s and I think they played this every time.
It wasn't recorded till 80/81.
Ah, good point, that shows my memory is failing. It can only have been the last two or three of shows I saw which were early eighties. The first two were 78/9 if memory serves em correct
Charis
Geddy Lee (Bassist) was 28 years old in this live concert video. Alex and Neil were probably same age in 1981.
Great reaction. An awesome song. One of RUSH's best. If you want another with "Red" in the title, check out "Red Sector A". It shows them being able to rock out on an incredibly serious topic.
Based on a Ferrari 166 S Barchetta, built between 1948 and 1953, here is some info on it… en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_166_S
In 1981, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson would have turned 28 years of age... Neil Peart was a year older, would have turned 29.
Rush had been together for a decade or so at that point... and 'Moving Pictures' (1981) was their biggest-selling album in their career. Their debut album and first tour were in 1974 when they were about 21 yrs of age (Neil Peart was 22).
Neil Peart said the inspiration for 'Red Barchetta' came from reading a fiction short story that he had read about a future scenario where racing has been outlawed... and the main character wants to have fun by getting in an old racing car and speeding along the countryside... It was well known that Neil Peart was an outdoor enthusiast and loved driving fast on the open road.
After his wife passed away in 1998 (his daughter in 1997), Neil Peart got on his motorbike and took off on the road... He said for years, it was the constant motion that helped him recover from the tragedy of losing his family... After Rush returned in 2002, Neil Peart insisted on driving his motorbike to Rush concerts and the band would assign a bodyguard to ride behind him (This carried on until the last Rush tour in 2015) ...Peart's bodyguard would complain that the drummer would really take off and it was difficult to keep pace w/ him 😂
The first song I ever remember hearing, and it's magic.
This song was written in 1980 - long before we had massive SUVs (gleaming alloy aircar) and proposed banning the sale of internal combustion engined road cars (the Motor Law). I'm 63 years old and I've never known another song, by any band of any genre, predict the future so accurately. Neil Peart was not just a great drummer - he was a lyrical genius.
LOVE this song SO much. The 'suddenly ahead of me.....' gets me in the feels every single time.
80s was the hair decade - for both guys and gals! 🙂
Everything about this song is incredible! Alex at the end plays the most angelic notes I've ever heard.
40 years of RUSH is a movie you should watch, it will answer all of your questions about them, you could possibly have.
Thank you! Thank you! Another great classic!🤘🎸
One thing I TOTALLY loved about Rush was being there at the venue and FEELING the music in my chest. And WANTING to keep them with me. Thinking to myself WOW my musical heroes.....I can feel them in my chest. And I couldn't believe it! Yeah.....I can be dorky. I thoroughly enjoy your reaction vids. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well, Charis! Love ya!
This song, especially in this live version, is simply the song I like most in my entire life!!! I've listened to it countless times and always at the final instrumental part I get emotional... 🥲
This song is absolute perfection
🎵🎶 Neal has one in his amazing car collection. An Italian masterpiece for his driving fun 🎉❤
For young Rush check out their videos for Fly By Night and Anthem....great songs!
Analog Kid is a good one with Alex shredding a badass solo! Also, I believe the number 2112 is going to be in your future.😁
Yes, 2112. That would be epic.
This song is soothing to me. Particularly the outro...
You gotta check out Working Man Live in Cleveland
How lucky Moving Pictures was my first concert. The drums were going down that road on the screen.
I actually prefer "Red Sector A," but I figured this was going to be your "color" song. This one is great in its own right, though. ❤️🚗❤️
Thanks for the video. I consider this to be Geddy's best vocal performance.
They were very know for their TRIPLE solos playing at the SAME time.... Drummer Neil the main lyricists and bass Geddy playing the synthesizer at the beginning/ending with his foot! Myself and my friends seen them a combination of more than 60 somethin times... Yes, were're old here...
When I need a story, I want it from the GOAT Neil Peart. One of my top 5 RUSH songs. RIP 😇Neil
They didn't always play this in concert, but when they did there was this seriously cool video background to go with the story.
I always see the song play out in my head while I'm listening.
@robertkennedy5414 - Yeah! Me, too! 😀
GIRL...trust me, (RUSH) fan 45 years, bass player for 40 years. Recommendation; (even if you don't react to it here, at least watch it for yourself.) Pure adrenaline...the song is "Headlong Flight" off Rush's final album (that many people don't even know about.) But you have to go to a RUclips channel called "Still Kickin"...it won't get blocked, it's a private video that this guy put to "Headlong Flight" song. I'm gonna keep hounding you til you see it. Thanks, Merry Christmas to you and husband/boyfriend. Great channel you're doung...thanks!
A symphony of 3. Great reaction! 😎
My favorite live recording - ever.
👍👍👍🎼🎵🎶🎸LOVE THIS SONG.
I've had my fair share of poodle-type perms in the 1980s, one of which was immortalized in the yearbook from my senior year of high school, but I believe that Geddy's hair is naturally curly, and it just looks different depending on how it's styled. If you'd like to see all three of them at the height of their "bad hair" years, check out the official music video for The Big Money. Cheers from Toronto!
🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🐐 🐐 🐐
The harmonics that Lifeson plays both in the Intro and the Outro are what first grabbed me back when I first heard the song--and I was privileged to see them play this Live back in ‘81-82 (same tour, can’t remember the exact year…)
It was a rare slip up by Peart. He just messed up on the pronunciation of the car. They just decided to keep it.
Have a wonderful Solstice 😊 ✌️
@rickhaddad7261 - Here in NZ, we write the date of the Solstice as 21/12! 😀 Which makes it also RUSH Day! 😁
This is one of those songs that I can just sit back and close my eyes and feel transported into the story.
I saw them about 4 years before this and they looked even younger! Lol.
I love Greased Lightning as well, hehe. I actually like a lot of songs about cars, Queen has a great one called I'm In Love With My Car.
Hot Rod Lincoln is a classic and such a great song. Many people have done versions of it but my favorite is probably one in the early nineties by the punk band All.
The Chuck Berry song Maybelline is about a car chase but it is filled with car references from the 1950s. Fantastic song and my favorite version is by Foghat from their very first album. In fact I think it concludes the album. It rocks insanely hard.
And there is a very soft spot in my heart for a novelty hit from the 1950s or maybe early 60s called Little Nash Rambler. It's basically a parody of car songs from the 50s but it's also a great song onto its own right and develops quite a bit of tension which is hilariously resolved at the end.
The first verse of the Deep Purple song Highway Star is fantastic in this regard.
Red Barchetta is what I've named my Jeep. I'll be driving it long after all the EV's are controlled by the government, restricting people in where and when they can travel....
This song was inspired by by the futuristic short story "A Nice Morning Drive" written by Richard Foster and published in the November 1973 issue of Road & Track magazine.
Another quality reaction!! I love your outtakes, especially with Rush because their music and content can be a bit heavy, we get to end on some classic Chariss levity. My guess for the next one will have to be "Vital Signs". 👀
Interesting perspective.
I know you have a predetermined number of songs to fill the Rush slots for December, but can you squeak in Natural Science live 1997 at the Molson Amphitheater? If not then you should definitely do a RUSH January! 😊
They were 27-28 years old in 1981.
This put in a great mood! Thanks!
😁👍
My guess for the next song is one I requested in an earlier comment - Losin It!!!!!
Rush have 4 songs wit the word Red in the title. This one is by far the best of the red songs.
'Red Tide' was the first Rush song I'd ever heard on the radio, at the time of the 'Presto' album's release 🙂
Both Geddy and Alex are rocking Moog Taurus 1 bass pedals, that provides the fullness in their live performances
Love the reaction...gotta squeeze in the 'Necromancer ',off of 'Caress of Steel '.. .thanks again...Todd from Ohio...
I love your rush journey! But but but you can not go thru this without those epic performances (thank me later): Working man live in Cleveland and The garden from clockwork angel tour... then 2112 (the comic book version would help you follow the story)
Yes, she has to do 2112. It's such a great story.
Any animation in the live videos was projected on a screen behind the band and matched to the music.
I got my first car - a '75 Camaro that we suped up with a transplanted 350cc truck engine, headers, and shift kit, as well as a wicked stereo system - not lo g after I turned 16 in 1984. Guess which song I used to christen it?
For many long-time Rush fans, this was their favourite track from Moving Pictures (which also brought us Tom Sawyer, YYZ, and Limelight). Me too.
Re: the pronunciation of Barchetta, Geddy just got it wrong. By the time they figured it out (not having possessed instant access to a trove of knowledge called the Internet) it was too late. The record had already been pressed.
They were in their late 20's in this video, recorded 7 or 8 years before Time Stand Still.
Hi Charis. Another great reaction. Given you have done both prog And pop rock Rush songs I would suggest you do some " heavy " Rush, and since you love live performances It makes it clear that at some point you must do Working Man Live in Cleveland.
Another newer heavy song, is "Far Cry", which I argue, is nothing like you've yet heard.
If you're going heavy, surely it has to be By-Tor & The Snow Dog from this show? Just to watch the entire band ripping it up, but specifically Alex.
You are right agg about Far cry Also Headlong Flight or Earthshine.
YES!!!!
@@romankoltun5935 Earthshine off the remixed album is fire. The original release was a bit too “hot” and tended to clip a lot of the strongest top end.
Neil wrote this after reading an article in Road&Track called A Nice Morning Drive by Richard S Foster about a future where automobiles were banned. Years later the author who was a fan noticed in the liner notes of Rush's album Moving Pictures that Neil had credited his story as the songs inspiration. After exchanging a series of e-mails they discovered that they were both motorcycle enthusiasts and owned the same model BMW R 1100 GS and Neil who liked to ride his between concerts invited Richard on a ride through the Appalachians to Rush's next concert in Pennsylvania and got him a ticket and backstage pass as a guest of the band. P.S. Geddy and Alex were 28 and Neil was 29 when they played this in Montreal in the Exit Stage Left concert and the other three Rush songs with Red in the title are Red Lenses, Red Tide and Red Sector A. 😊
I knew it'd be one of their 'Red' songs! 😄 And you chose the best one of them too, I reckon!
😉👍
Montreal Forum March 1981, I'm 30 feet in front of Geddy
Thanks for the Awesome memories
You are cheating yourself if you don't check out Xanadu from this show
I'm aware you've already reacted to it, but it's so epic you won't regret a revisit
The full sound comes from the fact that all three able to play in lead roles as equal. None are simply hanging out in the background as rhythm instruments. Lead Guitar, Lead Bass, Lead Drums.
Yess..rush few bands make me close my eyes and shut up and listen like thise
My first concert 1981
Oh lucky you! 😊👍
Car song: Trampled Under Foot - Led Zeppelin
Not sure how old they were in 1981. Guessing early 30’s.
This live set (Exit Stage Left) is Rush at their absolute peak, imo. Every song has all three of them, individually and collectively, at their very best.
Late twennies! 😉
Geddy and Alex were born in ‘53, so 27 or 28 when this was recorded.
Thanks for the correction. Means they were very young when they started as a band. I know Geddy and Alex were school friends as teens and Neil replaced their original drummer who had to quit for health reasons.
In any case, by the time of Exit Stage Left they had been playing music together as a band since 1974. Hit their peak and sustained for quite a while.
2:54, Yep, It was very fast and crazy agile..small but with a big 8 -cyl.engine, Made by Ferrari in the 50's, one of 'em in mint condition would fetch $80,00-100,000 an auction today. 5:22..Alex's "car taking off, then "car horn" on hat coda--awesome.Such a cool song..Peart's lyrics " Before the motor law, I Commit my weekly crime" make me think those air cars were the police. They try to catch him, and he still ditches 'em with a suicide move and makes it back to the farm. Could this story be a reality 50 years from now? ( Current Automakers are under huge pressure to phase out gas-users)
It inspired the opening sequence to the Star Trek movie starring Chris Pine as James Tiberius Kirk. Only difference is they used a red Corvette for the movie.
Not only a musical masterpiece, not only a great car song but a great sci-fi srory as well.
Maybe Bruschetta the Italian dish is what you're thinking of 😆.
Ah, you are adorable. 😄 RUSH!
What a great song by a great band!
Neil hits Hard alright!
What a great time!
Waiting for more Rush reactions! Cheers!
You don't know how little that hint narrows it down
🤣🤣🤣
If you've ever gotten a speeding ticket, you should check out Sammy Hagar's 'I Can't Drive 55'.
I saw them about the same time for my first Rush concert for this tour (Moving Pictures). I remember arguing with my best friend whether the Barchetta actually was a thing. We didn't have google/ internet back then, so I went to three libraries (our high school library, our local small town of less than 2000 and finally a nearby larger city before I found it to prove it to him. 😂
Red Barchetta was always a Fan favorite in concert. Charis, please continue with more Rush rabbit hole into the New Year. "Jacob's Ladder" Live R40. "La Villa Strangiato" instrumental Live 1978 Pink Pop festival. "Natural Science" Live Test for Eco tour 1997. "Freewill" Live Snakes & Arrows tour 2007. "Closer to the Heart" Live different stages. "Working Man" Live Time Machine tour 2011. All are Mind boggling performances Geddy was born on July 29th, 1953, Alex was born on August 27th, 1953. Neil Peart was born on September 12th, 1952. Neil passed away from a brain tumor on January 7th, 2020. The world found out on January 10th, 2020.
😁 This song still makes me want to learn how to drive everytime I hear it! 🥰🐰
As always beautiful ❤❤
First of all, Merry Christmas. Second, thank you for reacting to so many songs from Rush, one of my favorite bands and one of the greatest rock bands ever! Third, I don't like it, but I shall agree with you: usually, at least in my opinion, songs about cars are stupid! Perhaps, I think this way because I don't care about cars, but I always enjoyed this song a lot, mostly for its instrumental part, that is amazing, just like the fantastic sound these guys make. But it is also a well written composition that makes us understand what the car driver feels - only Rush can do it! And, if you want any help in your journey to get to know Rush music, here you are: "La Villa Strangiato"; "Closer to the heart"; "Distant early warning"; "Red Sector A"; "A passage to Bangkok".
As a drummer of almost 50 years who grew up on Rush, I can tell you why Neil gives his all every song. None of them are easy to play. It takes tremendous talent to even come close to covering them.
They were in their 30s for Exit Stage Left, I was in my early teens at the time. Great moment watching them on early MtV
The car term barchetta refers to a style of car rather than a make.... like a coupe or a sedan. It refers to any open air car with no portable roof at all and it is usually sleek but plain in appearance. Farrari and Masarati have probably produced the most barchetta types with some of them being an open air version of a closed roof model. The very first one was the Farrari 166 MM introduced at the 1948 Turin Auto Show.
Neil Peart, in an interview available on RUclips somewhere, indicates that the Italian pronunciation. (Phonetically): “Bar- key- Etta”
Rush....one of my fav power trios ...including kings x, check out believe and we were born to be loved, and this power trio from Argentina, who needs way more exposure, even tho they are huge in central and south America, eruca sativa...they sing every song in Spanish except their Beatles cover of Eleanor Rigby... amazing. .also check out their album Blanco, you'll be hooked by the first song. .
The Red Barchetta was the nickname for the 1948 Ferrari 166MM race car. "little boat" in Italian.
If you go back to the anniversary video for The Spirit of Radio, one of the things it opens with is a car driving along Pacifc Highway, and that car is a red barchetta
This song was an exceptional spectacle. If you haven’t loved a car song before, I suggest you give “I’m in love with my car” by Queen. Just like Neil Pert, Roger Taylor is an incredible drummer and he does the vocal.
I've often wondered why and how the air-car got stranded at the bridge? Other than to allow our narrator to get away, what would have prevented the pursuers to follow? There is a Rush answer to the question.
I've always pictured the car only inches off the ground and the bridge itself being only one lane it couldn't fit. 🤷♂️ like the landspeeder in Star Wars only larger.
As I've always understood it, the Motor Law required cars to be these big behemoths, hence the line "a gleaming alloy air car shoots towards me two lanes wide," and they were too wide to cross the one lane bridge, allowing the narrator to make his escape.
@@lindaward5376🔨🎯
@@lindaward5376 I understood the motor law was one that made cars with internal combustion engines illegal to drive. The two lanes wide means they came from two lanes away from the Barchetta.
Cinderella Man - 2005 movie and also a Rush song.
But not early 2000s so....
This song was directly responsible for several speeding tickets when I was a kid.😂
I have to say love RUSHMAS you should sell some shirts with RUSHMAS! I have to save you did Time Stand Still the other day in your comments aomebidy said do a reaction to U.S. Army soldiers doing Time Stand Still it's amazing and inspirational at least check it out on your own. Looking forward to next reaction! \/ 🇨🇦
NEIL had a small but very nice car collection-his 7 mid 60s supercars sold for just under $5M at auction after he passed
Hi, this is a perfect crafted song everything gels in so well with the story, music and lyrics really bring you on that ride, neil such a great writer . Miss him so much rip professor
I saw them on this tour, I was 16 at the time. And believe it or not my friends and I thought the video of the road and car were really cool. Back then video games were just coming into their own and most had similar graphics.
Every RUSH fan if you haven't already check out The United States Army Band (Pershing's Own) "Time Stand Still" amazing tribute R.I.P. NEIL. CHARIS check it out I just seen it so incredible for the people serving our country. Thanks for the person in RUSHMAS comments that brought it up 🎸 🍺 🤘
Great guitar solo and car effects from Alex Lifeson.
Welcome to the RUSH rabbit hole. Once you here it is an amazing place.
A couple more RUSH recommendations...
-Big Money
-Red Sector A
Neil Peart was known for his thought provoking lyrics and these two songs embody that... pay close attention when listening to the lyrics so that you actually hear what he's saying.
