"Classy" doesn't even begin to describe .. 3 of the most fantastic people to ever roam the Earth. Truly astounding individuals. We are very blessed to be able to enjoy them.
When i was a punky kid at 6 or 7, i went to a KISS concert, the opening band blew me away, it was Rush. Now I'm an old man, I've seen em' all, The Rolling Stones, Van Halen, etc, etc. But never saw a band more than Rush, 17 times and i know compared to most, thats not much but for a long time, I was stationed where no bands went. They were/are the soundtrack to my life.
I assume there must be some fans out there who saw them when they were a high school band essentially and saw them on every tour right through to the end. How cool would that be?
@@Johnny67557 the way Geddy sang it touched me emotionally. You are so lucky to have been able to see them live! I read the lyrics again. So poetic, so profound. Excellent 🤗🤘
I was lucky enough to see them here in the UK 7 times over 7 tours between 1983 ( last date of the Signals tour) & 2013 ( Clockwork Angels tour). Those are 7 nights over 30 years that I won't ever forget. Geddy's like a swan on a lake, you don't see half of what he's doing with his feet out of sight.
If you like Rush, but also like your music a bit heavier at times, check out the band Nightwish. Any of the albums or live performances since 2013, with their current vocalist Floor Jansen. Amazing band, and deep thought given to their lyrics.
Very correct, the three are some of the classiest humans on the planet… not to mention incredibly humble as well The look on your face said it all while listening to analog kid… that’s how we all felt watching them live… the musicality, the lyricism just takes you to so many emotional places
@@byronness7385 you can just tell by the way they dress and their mannerisms. When musicians still knew how to be respectful. And I'm so happy I could share some of these emotions with all of you🤗
It's really nice to see you enjoyed these songs. They are special to me and many Rush fans. Tha Analog Kid and Subdivisions are both coming of age songs highlighting the wonder and the pressures (respectively) of growing up. New World Man and Digital Man cover early and later adulthood. Factor in Losing It, also from the Signals album and they cover everything from adolescence to old age. It's a beautiful album and the lyrics, as always are spectacular. Neil starts the Analog Kid with these lines: "A hot and windy August afternoon has the trees in constant motion. With a flash of silver leaves as they're rockin' in the breeze." When it's summertime and you see the wind kick up and the leaves on the trees turn over from green to their silver underside, you know. a storm is on the way. "A boy lies in the grass with one blade stuck between his teeth. A vague sensation quickens in his young restless heart. And a bright and nameless vision has him longing to depart. You move me. You move me with your buildings and your eyes. Autumn woods and winter skies. You move me. You move me. Open sea and city lights. Busy streets and dizzy heights. You call me. You call me." Just top shelf stuff from Neil. It's just universal. Something we can all relate to. A calling, a yearning to leave what's familiar and seek out new adventures and experiences. It's the moment fledgling birds summon the courage to leave the nest and embrace independence. That big wide world is out there ready to be explored. That's what I think of when I hear The Analog Kid.
@@Critical_Thinker858 thank you. I enjoyed them so much and was moved deeply by Neils lyrics and Geddys voice. Growing up was tough for me so Subdivisions lyrics meant much to me. I could relate🤗🎸
Great reaction! I was blessed to get to see the boys 7 times. Rush never disappoints live. At all 7 shows I never heard a beat missed including the show on Time Machine Tour in Tulsa where Neil's snare head blew up during Subdivisions and he kept right along using a Tom instead
@@WhimsyMeadows Watch 'La Villa Strangiatio" off of their Live in Rio tour. Alex really gets to be himself and gets a look of "You crazy guy" from both Neil and Geddy. you wont regret it.
Woo-hoo!!! You reacted to two of my favorite Rush songs! The music video to 'Subdivisions' made me a Rush fan less than one year ago when I came across it on RUclips. Listening to the lyrics, it reminded me of how lonely my teen years were, having been a nerdy, introverted child living on a farm and attending a very small school. This live performance of 'Subdivsions' was awesome! As for 'Analog Kid', it's one of my favorite Rush songs for the music, mainly, and especially this live performance. Everyone is on fire here, but my favorite part is the synth breaks (the sound is so majestic!) and Alex's frantic guitar solo. I also love the camera shot immediately after where you can see Geddy multitasking, playing bass while playing synth pedals with his feet! I'm glad you reacted to both of these songs in one reaction (you should do that again for future reactions!). Also, have you reacted to 'Dinner with Rush'? It shows them having dinner together. It's a really fun window into their decades-long friendship.
I had so much fun watching these and im so glad I put them both in one video. I really enjoyed watching them live. My teen years in school was pretty lonely too. These lyrics made sense to me.. I sort of grew up on a farm lifestyle too. I'm thinking of showing videos of them. A dinner with them sounds great! 🤗🤘
RIP Neil Peart, The Professor.🤘🎸I saw them live in Columbia, SC for the Roll of the Bones tour. They played from 9:00 pm to midnight! It was an awesome show!🤘🎸
In the off chance you are unaware, Alex clowns around pretty much nonstop. Sometimes he pretends to sing (on occasion he *does* do backup vocals), or he goes to the edge of the stage, interreacts with the audience, pointing at Geddy doing the hand motion to his mouth implying Geddy is high or drunk, or gets a confused look on his face and mouths "What the f*** are these lyrics?" while Geddy is singing. There are clips of him doing "introductions" from various tours where he just makes up names for all three of them during the middle of "Closer to the Heart". Check out "Dinner with Rush" (whatever it's called) with the 3 of them getting drunk and joking around while eating out somewhere. He just messes around endlessly. Also, notice sometime that he has *enormous* hands for being such a skilled guitarist, Anyway...enough out of me. 🙂
I watched a video of the 3 of them having dinner and drinks. Was so much fun to watch. I felt i could relate to Alex's personality a lot. Lol such a fun guy and trio.
Saw Rush 18 times. I recommend this video. It's titled: Medley/ By Tor and the Snow Dog, In the End,In the Mood, Grand Finale from the Exit Stage Left concert. Best Rush video on RUclips.
Now that you've seen The Analog Kid, I think you may like seeing what happened when he grew up and became a Digital Man, as also performed on the Snakes And Arrows Tour. Cheers from Toronto! 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🐐 🐐 🐐
Subdivisions and The Analog Kid are from the album, Signals! After the hugely successful Moving Pictures album, Signals offered a new eighties synthesizer sound!
Hey girlfriend! I love hearing some Rush first thing in the morning! Both songs are great but the Analog Kid is one of my faves. Alex's solo is just blistering and that chorus takes you to church! Like you I got into Rush late and didn't have a chance to see them live. 😢 Thank goodness there are concert videos on line. Next I would say Digital Man also from Snakes and Arrows tour. Red Barchetta from Exit Stage Left Cheers ❤
I used to listen to this on cassette when my parents took us on vacation to the beach 🏖️ in the live performances we get to witness Neil doing cross over playing like it’s nothing, he also throws his stick up catches and keeps playing 😮 if you ever get a chance Listen to Neil talk about his books, and his writing. As a fellow motorbike rider I have a picture of his drums and BMW GS 😊
@@WhimsyMeadows what sets them apart besides being amazing musicians that they are really nice kind hearted people. ruclips.net/video/CNNAqoXHepk/видео.htmlsi=aXnkRe8kNVB2nt-H
My favorite Rush song(Subdivisions)... They released this at the time in my life when Neil's lyrics meant exactly what i was going through... Add Geddy's vocals and the music it was perfect. ❤
Fun reaction. You are right when you say they seem classy. Three upstanding guys who donated money and did benefit concerts many times throughout their career as well. Probably influnced more musicians than just about any band or act I can think of. Their R30 concert (2004) has a slew of great perfomances and camera views showcasing things that largely go unseen as well. Cheers.
YES, 2 for the price of 1!!!😄This was great. I saw RUSH 4 times, and each time was the best concert I ever saw! Thanks much for this! ☮ P.S. Glad to see you're feeling better!
@@theG-man-p2h I'm so glad you enjoyed this day with Rush. You are so lucky you got to see them live. And thank you, I am feeling much better though my voice was still cracking a bit lol

I saw them on the Presto tour. It was the cleanest sounding concert I have ever been to. Great stage, lazors, and two rabbits coming out of top hats. Perfect.
Thx for doing both tracks. Two great ones to get my wknd started off on a good note. Having seen them live 35+times I can honestly say they get better with age.
@@gregcormier2379 it was my pleasure 😊 I couldn't see just doing one. Im so happy I could help start the weekend off right. You are so lucky to have been able to see them live. I think I need to continue this weekend tradition

Side note; I have been a Rush fan since 1982 and I have seen them perform 12 times over my life time. Some of us have seen them 100 times! lol. Anyway, I am so glad you are on this Rush journey.

@@robertl4104 i would have loved to have at least seen them once. But I feel grateful for those who have uploaded these magical moments on youtube. And it was my pleasure and I will def add that one to the now very long list lol
TY and try and have the lyrics with you, maybe on your phone. Neil does all or most of the writing and he's the Shakespeare of Rock and equal parts a genius on percussion and writing. After the song perhaps go to anyone of the "Rush Lyric meaning "websites and see how close you came or get a more defined answer. A lot of sci fi storylines may be just that and 2112 has a comic book style graphics to go along with the music. 2112 a scifi rock masterpiece. Cheers! 😎

Hi Misty! These guys are the nicest most humble incredible musicians ever. They’re from Canada, eh! Brilliant performances and as for Subdivisions. Besides my lackluster covers. The song speaks to me because I’ve always been a “dreamer and a misfit so alone”
@@chucksmusicaldebris3536 same here. Often my teacher sent notes home saying I'd been daydreaming in class again lol. My mom didn't care. To her, school was just a free babysitter lol
Lol so glad I was able to bring back fond memories. I had a blast and would have loved to have been there live. I prob would have screamed your ears off though lol 😆
WM, bless you for getting emotional during Analog Kid. it's a great song and I recommend you go ahead and check out the original studio version, just for yourself. It is a little bit different from the live version and it really is a wonderful song, as so many of theirs are. Other than that, please check out the By Tor & the Snow Dog medley, from the Exit Stage Left live video/CD! It is a video that starts with By Tor and then adds "In the End", "In the Mood" and "Grand Finale" (from 2112), as the end song from the ESL concert (in Montreal)!! It is very fun and crazy! Enjoy!
@@michaelbriefs9764 i def will be giving these songs a listen again where I can really focus on the sounds. And I will also be adding these songs to my ever growing list lol
So... you randomly popped up a few days ago in my feed, and now I've watched several videos. You seem to be a really interesting deep soul, and very grounded, humble, nature loving, and sweet. I'm intrigued 🌷 Someone has to really impress me for me to wanna start sharing my stuff. I've been a guitarist all my life, and had the chance to meet RUSH many years ago. I now play bass and keyboards also. I learned so much by studying Alex's playing. I have many Rush songs on my YT page. This one is from a show in San Jose CA on the last tour and I am playing guitars along with the song. This is all made from my photos of the show the final R40 tour before Neal passed. La Villa Strangiato. The only instrumental song on Hemispheres. Only watch when you're ready to hear that song 🫂🕊️🌛✨ (p s.

you should listen to the next two songs on this album, then you will have reacted to all of side one. Killer album side. No problems listening to the whole side when I put a vinyl copy of this album on.
New subscriber here! When you get a chance, you should react to 2112 Live at the Molson Amphitheater in 1997. They are in their 40s, and performing the song that put them on the map in 1976. You will be thoroughly amazed, as most people are! Off the stage, they are even better people! even with all of their fame and fortune, they have remained humble, and loyal to their fans. They have always been, and always will be best of friends, which is no small achievement, when you consider the career they shared! We were truly blessed to have them as part of the music industry, and you have to keep in mind that this is only 3 guys, with no auto tune, or special effects to enhance their talent...
@@JohnCividino thank you for subscribing, I appreciate it! I will be getting to 2112 soon as it seems to be a favorite lol. I think my next vid might be showing them a bit off stage, because I can see the love they have for eachother and simply I want to get to know them better. And yes its hard to find artists these days who don't rely on auto tune. Keep watching, I make reaction videos weekly 🤗🤘

Was that a smile from Neil at beginning of Analog Kid ? Rare.
@@paulrobinson5833 lol I noticed thst too. I just love it. Their personality is so precious
😊Great show!! Thank you😊
@@jackteppo9633 my pleasure and thank YOU for watching! 🤗🤘
I actually got emotional and texted my friend. We grew up on Rush, Rush Is us we are Rush. 3 friends living life, loving life amazing people
Enjoy young lady
@@dberg666 i hope you and your friend both enjoyed this video. I had a lot of fun. This trio is incredible and made me emotional 🤗🤘
Hi Misty! These guys are the nicest most humble incredible musicians ever. They’re from Canada, eh! Brilliant performances and as for Subdivisions. Besides my lackluster covers. The song speaks to me because I’ve always been a “dreamer and a misfit so alone”
@@chucksmusicaldebris3536 same here. Often my teacher sent notes home saying I'd been daydreaming in class again lol. My mom didn't care. To her, school was just a free babysitter lol
@ that’s too funny! As Willy Wonka put it. “We are the music-makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams"
@@chucksmusicaldebris3536 love that movie! Gene Wilder was the best.
Conform or be cast out.
Be cool or be cast out.
What insights
Exactly! These words spoke such truth to me
@@WhimsyMeadows right??
Very lucky
Watching Rush documentaries without us? How dare you?!
@@mdu2112 no worries my friend, I will be taking you all along with me soon. I am preparing something big 🤗🤘
😉 Remember, the 'Analog Kid' grows up to be a 'Digital Man'! 🤗 That makes him a 'New World Man' in my book! 🥰🐰
@@cityhonors1 i look forward to giving these other songs a listen soon ! 🤗🤘
Please consider Territories, Marathon, Manhattan Project, or Mystic Rhythms...all live of course. Thanks for the Rush!
@@gregorymurray5121 my pleasure! And I've been thinking of doing livestream one day. An hour of Rush!
Too fun
I'd have definitely brought you to a show! You should be front row! Subdivisions brings me back to high school. Yikes!
Lol so glad I was able to bring back fond memories. I had a blast and would have loved to have been there live. I prob would have screamed your ears off though lol 😆
@@WhimsyMeadows any day
Great reaction❤🇨🇦
@@kimbarry4674 thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. I had fun and was imagining being there live 🤗🤘
WM, bless you for getting emotional during Analog Kid. it's a great song and I recommend you go ahead and check out the original studio version, just for yourself. It is a little bit different from the live version and it really is a wonderful song, as so many of theirs are. Other than that, please check out the By Tor & the Snow Dog medley, from the Exit Stage Left live video/CD! It is a video that starts with By Tor and then adds "In the End", "In the Mood" and "Grand Finale" (from 2112), as the end song from the ESL concert (in Montreal)!! It is very fun and crazy! Enjoy!
@@michaelbriefs9764 i def will be giving these songs a listen again where I can really focus on the sounds. And I will also be adding these songs to my ever growing list lol
Both of these song are from the 'Signals' album (1982)!
@@steveschaff4620 amazing album. They all are
Well resolved, it was the fairest, it could also have been "New World Man" thank you and greetings
@@Andres-mp7jn thats def on my list. I plan on getting to them all lol 😆
10:35 uggh. Lifeson being his goofy self...NP smiling...golden for us Rush fans.
@@lionoftwo lmao I absolutely love his goofiness. Getting NP to crack a smile, perfection!
Sei bellissima 🌹
Analog Kid should be followed by Digital Man . Kind of a sequel piece.
Did you get the chance to see them live?
@@WhimsyMeadows twice 82 and 84
Anyone notice geddy playing the choral keyboard part with his foot during and after the solo?
@@kriskollmar9728 yessss he's so anazing!
So... you randomly popped up a few days ago in my feed, and now I've watched several videos. You seem to be a really interesting deep soul, and very grounded, humble, nature loving,
and sweet. I'm intrigued 🌷 Someone has to really impress me for me to wanna start sharing my stuff. I've been a guitarist all my life, and had the chance to meet RUSH many years ago. I now play bass and keyboards also. I learned so much by studying Alex's playing.
I have many Rush songs on my YT page.
This one is from a show in San Jose CA on the last tour and I am playing guitars along with the song.
This is all made from my photos of the show the final R40 tour before Neal passed. La Villa Strangiato.
The only instrumental song on Hemispheres.
Only watch when you're ready to hear that song

@@kennethenos2716 yay so glad you found me! Now we can continue this journey together 🤗🤘
You are so lucky to have seen them live. I hope you will continue to learn from them.
New Rush video out this weekend so keep an eye out for it🤘🤘
you should listen to the next two songs on this album, then you will have reacted to all of side one. Killer album side. No problems listening to the whole side when I put a vinyl copy of this album on.
@@RussB-ht3fy what a wonderful idea! Thank you for the suggestion! Do you still have the vinyl?
New subscriber here! When you get a chance, you should react to 2112 Live at the Molson Amphitheater in 1997. They are in their 40s, and performing the song that put them on the map in 1976. You will be thoroughly amazed, as most people are! Off the stage, they are even better people! even with all of their fame and fortune, they have remained humble, and loyal to their fans. They have always been, and always will be best of friends, which is no small achievement, when you consider the career they shared! We were truly blessed to have them as part of the music industry, and you have to keep in mind that this is only 3 guys, with no auto tune, or special effects to enhance their talent...
@@JohnCividino thank you for subscribing, I appreciate it!
I will be getting to 2112 soon as it seems to be a favorite lol. I think my next vid might be showing them a bit off stage, because I can see the love they have for eachother and simply I want to get to know them better.
And yes its hard to find artists these days who don't rely on auto tune.
Keep watching, I make reaction videos weekly 🤗🤘
You should try watching Dinner with Rush! It'll make you laugh when you see how comfortable they are with each other
Rush live was the tightest band in history. The only other live band that came close to their precise intuition was Judas Priest.
Omg...Robs voice...hitting those high notes ...such powerful stuff. Love him too.
Definitely beauty eh? Sorry, going McKenze brothers here… 😉
@@brucehaynes3044 That was beauty eh? Lol 😁
Alex is one of the greatest guitar players ever but is not egnoliaged.
@@paulrobinson5833 I'm not familiar with that word
@@WhimsyMeadows probably meant acknowledged but his spell checker came up with %^#!*&!.
