    Alex's solo at the end with Geddy just raw and intense on the bass underneath is one of my favorite Rush moments ever.

  • @markh6014
    @markh6014 3 года назад +1

    This song always gets me. Thanks for giving it a listen! it just has that "Rush feel", whatever that technically means. The part just before Alex's solo when Geddy sings, "They seem oblivious..."-goosebumps every time. And then you hear them chat with each other a bit, barely audible. The tune shows their adventurous spirit and it's just magic. Digging your Rush binge! If you ever want to delve into a long tune (around 20'), side one of "Hemispheres" is a trip. A darker album that is also Rush at their proggiest (you've heard the closer!)

  • @sonofnothing8723
    @sonofnothing8723 3 года назад +1

    If you’re gonna do a full album stream, you gotta do Hemispheres. It will cement your appreciation for Rush. These reactions are great and after seeing you react to La Villa Strangiato, you must hear what precedes it. It’s worth it.

  • @mr.mojorisin1616
    @mr.mojorisin1616 3 года назад +106

    This was meant as a description of Neil's time while living in New York and London in the early 70's. I've always considered this as Rush's musical version of A Tale of Two Cities (without the tragedy). Just a side note but the final guitar solo was done (as was the entire album) at LeStudio in Quebec, Canada and while recording Alex tried 5 times to nail that lead lick, couldn't get it so he set his guitar down, went outside the studio for a beer and cigarette, came back in and nailed it in one shot!
    As for the marathon Rush listen...HELL YEAH! Love to hear 2112 in one session! maybe after you could do Moving Pictures, Permanent Waves, etc. Just let us know and we'll be there with headphones at the ready! Peace and Thanks Greatly!

    The Rush “Rabbit hole” is deep. The journey is life changing and it’s a pleasure to be along for the ride. It took me forty years to get through their entire discography, but I had to wait for them to create it. You have the entire catalog at your fingertips and I can see you want to hear everything. I suggest you pace yourself and take time to thoroughly appreciate each track. I completely understand that you want to focus on the music and that will always be enjoyable. But with Rush understanding the Lyrics improves the overall experience exponentially. Maybe try reading the lyrics through before reacting. It will allow you to understand without being a distraction.
    TBH just do this however you feel most comfortable, you are going to get a million suggestions on what and how you should react but at the end of the day we are all gonna still be watching, commenting and liking, because it’s Rush and that’s what we do. Thanks!

    Rush is like a fantastic car ride through the mountains. They pull up in your driveway, you get in the car, and off you go.

He came in the next day completely hoarse and eyes still bugging, just raving. It really felt good to help someone discover RUSH

Sure, he had chops, but above all he was a composer. Particularly when you're in a three-piece group, using the drums as a *melodic* instrument brings so much. No one wrote drum parts like him - what an amazing gift he was to us.

    One of the greatest things about Rush is the ARRANGEMENTS. When they put together a song, it seemed to be a group of musical snippets, combined with really deep lyrics often with literary references (Grace Under Pressure is one) a real storytelling insight (read Neil peart's books) and amazing technical chops PLUS dynamic range and tempo changes and composition, and finally the arranging with slight variations with each chorus or a repeated section. All the components came together on this album.

    Hope to see you there!!

    The opening synth chords were Geddy trying to emulate Genesis, and he felt bad about the song because he didn't think it ended up sounding like Genesis. But it sounds like great Rush!

      That’s really interesting - never heard that story. Pretty cocky, in a typically humble-ambitious-fanboy RUSH way. Ged wanted to pull off “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” and outdo Tony Banks on the keys? So glad he didn’t. The Camera Eye is one of my absolute faves.

      @@Musiquesaecouter Not necessarily. It's down to the same synth being used in both songs, the Oberheim OBX. The distinctive "sample and hold" LFO feature is used in both songs and was a staple sound of the Oberheim OBX. It was used in other songs by various artists, the ending of "Mr. Roboto" by Styx leaps to mind.

    That is the beauty of Rush. There is 40 years of music to listen to. Their catalog will always have something to offer the listener whether young or old. I have never tired of listening to any of their songs. I even appreciate their song “Tai Shan”. It is supposedly their least favorite song and most fans agree. However, I disagree. It tells a story and conveys mood and feelings like any other Rush song. Keep listening. Cant wait to hear what you both choose next (hint- “The Garden”).

    • @NH2112

  • @ResilientOne2112

    Geddy made a point to enunciate every word because Neil's lyrics were such a mouthful, again they're songwriting abilities had reached a point where they're were able to weave in and out within tunes so seamlessly.
    You're idea of doing complete album reactions is a super great idea, again I feel you need to get to a chronological order to get a sense of how the boys developed as time went on, the reason Moving Pictures became such a mainstream success is a culmination of what preceded this album, the SEVEN albums released before set the stage for this incredible piece of work!

That's their hard rock album, that one really is for the stoners and when I was a young wasted youth skater, that album was definetly a big part of my soundtrack! Really really good, but later I found so much more to love about this band!!! Once they did Permanent Waves they really began to speak their own language man. The songs just became so much more touching and sincere as they matured into the 1980's.

On the final tour my wife and i seen them in Tampa Fla then Alpharetta GA and finished in Greensboro NC. Watching you two remind me of my wife and I. I wish you could have seen RUSH in the 70s and 80s those were the best times to see RUSH in concert.

    See that was the great thing about Rush. I'm a musician so more so perhaps for me but with Rush they always kept me wondering what kind of killer bass riffs and synth, drum and guitar sounds would they dream up on the next album. And then of course all the live performances, the show production. Ever evolving which was necessary. Of the over 5000+ shows they did they kept it fresh and interesting. Saw a video here a few days ago that asked was Rush scripted. Not to the full extent. They used improve a lot which was necessary to keep it interesting and challenging to play night after night. Yes they had bad nights/shows but they shrugged it off and said to themselves we'll do that much better next show. So any way my thoughts. I like seeing your giddiness. :D!

Given Peart having to quit playing then his ultimate demise it is emotional to say the least . Regarding 2112, if you haven’t heard it at all yet, it is darker and more powerful. A stark difference than the ones you’ve heard lately. They let it all hang out in this one

    The deep cuts are what makes Rush such a beloved band. The song that never made it to radio for whatever reason are so rich in melody, creativity and most of all top tier musicianship. Then you add the meaning instrumentally and lyrically, and you have a formula for songs that will stand the test of time.
    In regards to doing a Rush album marathon, Id love to see that. Another idea would also be to do Rush's "Fear" series in one take. The Fear series consist of 4 song which ironically starts with Moving Pictures "Witch Hunt" and continues on successively from album to album. The songs were written in reverse chronological order, comparative to album release. Witch Hunt (part 3), The Weapon (Part 2), The Enemy Within (Part 1). The last song in the series is called "Freeze" and doesn't follow the album release pattern. In regards to this series of song, the lyrics are some of my favorite by Peart. I understand, it's hard to concentrate on the lyrics while listening to such great musicianship but since it's a marathon, have the lyrics available to discuss briefly after each song. Thus far when it comes to reactions, you'd be the first to tackle the series in one take.
    I'm loving the Rush reactions, keep em coming. Cheers.
