      @GenXDaddyO 3 года назад +7

      They tried to get the album track in one take but were not satisfied with any of them. They ended up splicing together several. IMHO the only live version that comes close to matching the pace and perfection of the album track is from Exit...Stage Left, plus it has some added vocals by Geddy.

      Paul Scheuer the version from A Show of Hands is very good. The Lerxst in Wonderland solo is glorious on that one, and there’s one point where Alex hits a pinch harmonic while crouched down waving the neck of his guitar at the audience and dancing around like the goofball he is. By that era, they were so in the pocket with this song that they were having more fun than the audience.

    One of the greatest pleasures of my life was seeing this played live. Alex absolutely pours his soul into playing this one. He brings out so much emotion in every note. He truly does know everything that guitar can do. Not many guitarists play with dynamics like he does. That middle solo is just hauntingly beautiful.
    You hear it also in 2112 when the man is picking up the guitar and learning to play it. He starts out halting, uncertain, and slowly builds in confidence and the strumming becomes more regular and then more rhythmic.

    For a few of their songs, they did "live studio" recordings. It wasn't played before a live audience, but it wasn't a pre-recorded studio song dubbed onto a video, like a lot of music videos are. This is one of them. It's what you would have heard in concert. This song was ALWAYS awesome in concert.

      Sorry but that isn’t true. The version that ended up on Hemispheres was a combination of 3 different takes. It took them months afterwards to figure out how to play what they put on the album. And if you know the album cut well, you will hear a number of differences in the version from this video. Alex changed his solos quite a bit while he was figuring out what he wanted to represent. It took them until the 80s to get truly comfortable with the song.

    The Drummer for Rush Neil Peart wouldn't do a "video" to air drumming to fake play, so the band recorded this live at Massy Hall in Toronto to an empty auditorium. They did it in ONE TAKE.

    I especially love this song because it really showcases Alex. I've always felt like he's overshadowed by Neil and Geddy. He's 1a with David Gilmour 1b for my favorite guitarist. There may be other guys that are faster or more technical but I can feel Alex and Dave playing in my soul.

    • @nathanfreeman681
      @nathanfreeman681 3 года назад +3

      Alex is pretty damned fast and highly technical. He always played in a fairly traditional style that relied on harmonics, pinches, slides, bends, swells, and later, tremolo dives. He never got into some of the more modern-era play techniques like tapping or sweep picking. His focus was always on showcasing the song, not his personal performance, so people overlook the highlights of what he played over a 40-year career. But when he was out front on solos, he was always one of the masters of the universe.

    Here's an interesting factoid for you. Rush swore they would never write and record another tune the way they did this one. This was actually an epic long jam that they chopped into pieces and slapped it together, then in order to play it live they had to go back through it and learn what they did from scratch. Needless to say it was very time consuming. I recall one of them saying " that was the real nightmare."

  • @chrisespinosa7534
    @chrisespinosa7534 3 года назад +12

    Believe it or not, they rarely performed this live because it took many takes to get the studio version right and doing live was very hard. Over time, they obviously overcame that, but it does take a lot of effort to do this song.

    • @RoarOfWolverine
      @RoarOfWolverine 3 года назад +2

      It wasn’t rare for the, to play this tune live. I saw them live on every tour since Permanent Waves, meaning this was a fairly new song at that time and they played it at that concert. They also played A Villa Strangiato at 90% of every show I saw since.
      It is one of their most famous instrumentals and always gets a huge crowd response whenever they play it. Alex often improvised a lot of new stuff in the first solo of the song, it was always phenomenal and stunned the crowd.
      Rush did struggle to first record this song, having to do three different sections and kind of splice it all together, but they eventually mastered it and played it on nearly every tour. It was always done more towards the end of the concert, in the third act I guess you could say (the last 3rd of the night). From Vapor Trail on, Rush didn’t have an opening act anymore, but instead were the only act for a three hour show with just a short intermission for Neil to rest.
      Three hours of Rush was always incredible and even after three hours, they left you wanting more because even in three hours, they couldn’t scratch their catalog of music. There was always some other song you wished they played.

YYZ Was another example of the talent of these 3 guys who had the CHEMISTRY.. chemistry is what it takes for any band to compose their music and Express themselves in the music they write. Being a musician. And there's a difference between being a musician and not being one. That is what divides us to what musicians are experiencing and what average people experience. You obviously know the difference. You do an amazing job reviewing the music you post. BUT when you experience RUSH AND YOU CAN FEEL THE CHEMISTRY.. THAT'S PRICELESS!
