The use of the Austin Powers clip has to be one of the best gimmicks I've ever seen. The timing is spot on and had me rolling on the floor. Rush has blessed us time and time again.
I'm watching this and I'm crying. You don't know what is to live in a country where Rush doesn't tour... Barely once every 10 years... And once you grow up and have the money to travel to Canada or USA to watche them live, Neil passes away... This absolutely breaks my heart... But I'm sure if there's a heaven, it is a Rush concert. And I'm happy that Neil is with his family :,) Lots of love to Rush fans. And for the ones who watched them live, you don't know how lucky you are...
I count myself lucky to have seen them many times, but on another level I know how you feel in high school I was a huge Led Zeppelin fan and had ticket to see them in Philly and Bonham passed away, torn between being pissed on not ever seeing them and John passing away
rush is my favorite band, got to see them live. didn’t appreciate what we had back then, miss them now. One of my brother’s favorite band was the greatful dead. I got us tickets for his birthday for what ended up being their last live show before Jerry passed away. unbelievable- still remember all the details.
@@Raylan-Tsame for me with the late, great Randy Rhoads. I had my ticket in hand (my first real rock concert) then get the news. On the other side, I got to see Cliff Burton play a small club.
@@Daddy53751 funny I had a chance to see Metallica in a small club on Long Island back in the day with Cliff, it was raining and there was a line so we went to another club to see twisted sister instead. Hindsight is always 20/20
The looks given at 5:18 by Geddy and Alex and the smile by Neil at 5:38ish..signifies not only "hey we still have it", but 'we are next fucking level and know it"
It’s weird, I was just thinking about that subject. It must be really cool and humbling in a way to be with a friend for so incredibly long and knows you better than anyone on earth. These guys, especially Geddy and Alex as we all know, have been BFFs since they were school kids, so it must be very grounding when the whole world has been telling you that you’re the best thing since sliced bread, but you have that partner right there that can easily remind you that “hey, I knew you when you were a pimple faced kid that didn’t think he’d ever get a girlfriend, so stow that I’m a golden god thing.” I can imagine that must’ve played a part in why these guys have remained so down to earth, when they really didn’t need to.
Rick OnTheDrums all three is the reason why I stared playing guitar and singing and playing keyboard and bass and drums. Of course I can only play lead guitar keyboard and sing when on stage.
@@chrisgentry2217 Rush is the reason why I play drums, bass and guitar with my 6 arms and 6 legs. LOL. They don't call me the "Octopus Man" for nothing, LOL.
This song always excited me to goose bumps on my skin. Very few musicians can summon an audience as quickly as Rush. At the end Alex is in the pipe at max.
Rush are a lot like cartoons. When we were children, a lot of what happened in The Flintstones, Bugs Bunny, Yogi Bear, etc. went over our heads. And as we got older, everything made perfect sense and was indicative of the times.
The complexity of this song makes it very difficult to play live, and they nailed it. Listening to the studio version, you forget how all of that sound comes from 3 people. I was very blessed to see them live in 2012, that was the first show that felt like more than just a band playing, it felt like I was witnessing pure art, something that has to be seen to appreciate fully. They are incredible musicians.
I'm from Dallas and saw them in Denver where I was living at the time. This solo changed my life. This band saved my life. I wouldn't be here without them, they gave me hope and I'll always be thankful
I hope this is never removed from RUclips. I watch it over and over and over. So many great moments, and I will never get tired of the precious smile from Neil Peart toward the end. I will never take for granted the opportunity to see artists I love in concert ever again.
I have seen Rush just twice Power Windows and Grace under Pressure, but this 2015 R40 tour is awesome and they are coming to Portland in a week! Yeah!. They just get better with age. Absolutely amazing live band.
There will never ever be an equal the collective talent of this band. The odds of three gifted musicians with this much talent and genuine chemistry finding each other again is absolutely astronomical.
This song, as much as any other Rush plays, reflects the musical and technical perfection that has earned the respect and appreciation of both other professional bands and millions of fans around the world. the musical interlude from 3:00-3:55 is nonpareil!
Awesome ! Always loved this song. Really like the album version, but it's nice to hear a more "stripped down" version live without all the album production. Rush Rocks !
1st Rush song I have ever heard, back in 1986 or something. Been addict since then. Much love to these 3 guys! So much work! Yet so much fun! I love it!
The secret of success for Rush is a combination of three factors: 1) Neil Peart`s drumming-he`s a beast!, 2) Alex Lifeson`s guitar riffs, 3) Geddy Lee`s vocals combined with his bass and keyboards playing.
No, the secret is that they are all good friends, they have a mutual bond of respect for each other. No matter HOW GOOD of a player you are, those factors keep a band together for the long haul, or they fizzle out. They do ALL play awesome tho, like you said, lol.
The absolute craziness of the bass line during the verses. No idea how Geddy can sing while playing that frantically, but I sure as hell am grateful that I'm amongst all y'all that "get it." It's like being a math kid, only way more fun.
I have been lucky enough to have seen them live 6 times. Last time in Madison Square Garden. Just put it the video on the big screen with surround sound and you are there.
Geddy is insane.
They all are!!!
Maestros!!! And 'Super Tight'! is a gross understatement
I don't think he knows what a guitar pick is! 😉
@@owencrutcher493 so glad I never saw Geddy Lee using a guitar pick on Bass. Would of ruined his mystique.
@breauxcewayne1971

Listen and watch his bass line at about the 4:23 mark, and he finishes it with one chord.
No one deserves The Big Money more than this trio.
One of the truly talented RNR playing an excellent RNR tune.
This is an incredibly difficult song to play live... the fact that they can nail it is amazing. Rush forever!
John Ryan upzZn j
Yep!
Not to mention joke around at the same time 😆
no problem for rush
Well, ...they ARE Rush after all. It was kind of their thing to do that.
I can't believe how Geddy can sing and play bass lines like this.....incredible.
Any keys. And synth bass pedals
The use of the Austin Powers clip has to be one of the best gimmicks I've ever seen. The timing is spot on and had me rolling on the floor. Rush has blessed us time and time again.
IKR!

Right!
The three best most humble musicians who ever lived!

I’m so glad I discovered this band in high school. They changed my life forever.
I don't believe most people would even fathom how complex this song really is musically!! Off the charts!
And they make it look so easy
God bless you, Neil. RIP.
Bloody Axe2 We’re all devastated.
Amen. I bow my head in reverence.....
Thanks for all the rhythms and grooves and kickass fills over the years Neil.
Men die. Music lives forever.
Well said. We all die. Music is eternal.
Especially GREAT music!🫡
My favorite Rush song. The breaks and changes are amazing. Geddy's BEST bass performance. Its sick
R.I.P. Neil
So grateful that I was able to see you play several times over the last 30 years.
There isn't just one god, there are three - Lifeson, Peart & Lee.
The holy trinity
sadly, now only 2 😢
Agreed!
I feel like this song is so underrated. Its my favorite song by rush. And favorite song of all for that matter.
The lead solo and the backing rhythm is off the charts.
definitely in my top 20 all time Rush songs- and they always KILL when they play it live!
A handful of bands have ever rocked this hard period. Rush is for sure on that list.
What a intensive solo from Lifeson. 80's era is my favorite !!
Neil is the reason I became a drummer
Rick OnTheDrums Alex is the reason I play guitar
Rick OnTheDrums geddy is the reason i picked up the bass
Rick OnTheDrums all three is the reason why I stared playing guitar and singing and playing keyboard and bass and drums. Of course I can only play lead guitar keyboard and sing when on stage.
@@chrisgentry2217 Rush is the reason why I play drums, bass and guitar with my 6 arms and 6 legs. LOL. They don't call me the "Octopus Man" for nothing, LOL.
Alex is the reason I quit playing guitar.
RUSH... the only band that you know will never disappoint you.
Rush will last forever and beyond. Fantastic so much beauty and talent. Thanks for all these years, friends.
X Abner Chamate
Yessir brother!!!
GOOD GOD I LOVE THE SOLO IN THIS !!!!!
THREE OF THE GREATEST MUSICIANS THE UNIVERSE WILL EVER SEE. EACH A GRAND MASTER OF HIS INSTRUMENT & CRAFT.
words can't describe what this band was capable off. in shock and awe every time i watch them play. Rush is the greatest band of all time
This song always excited me to goose bumps on my skin. Very few musicians can summon an audience as quickly as Rush. At the end Alex is in the pipe at max.

They are incredible musicians.
I also seen them live in 2012 here in Virginia only time I seen them live unfortunately
The interlude /guitar solo is Da Bomb. Everyone’s parts are just killer. And the tones are there too.
This is pure musical gold and completely timeless.
I'm from Dallas and saw them in Denver where I was living at the time. This solo changed my life. This band saved my life. I wouldn't be here without them, they gave me hope and I'll always be thankful
I hope this is never removed from RUclips. I watch it over and over and over. So many great moments, and I will never get tired of the precious smile from Neil Peart toward the end. I will never take for granted the opportunity to see artists I love in concert ever again.
I recently read Neil Peart has retired from drumming. Thank you Professor for your service. I'll never stop listening to this band.
They show more skill in the intro than most band's can muster over an entire career!! RIP Neil
I have seen Rush just twice Power Windows and Grace under Pressure, but this 2015 R40 tour is awesome and they are coming to Portland in a week! Yeah!. They just get better with age. Absolutely amazing live band.
First concert I ever saw was Rush All the Worlds A Stage tour 79 I believe. I was 14 I have seen them 7 times since..Rush forever!!
I find this is an underrated song by Rush. Very high skill and energy
There will never ever be an equal the collective talent of this band. The odds of three gifted musicians with this much talent and genuine chemistry finding each other again is absolutely astronomical.
Such an awesome bass line on this song
My favorite Rush song!!!! Rock on!!!!
this live performance was flawless, never disappointed
This song has great
relevance to life
around us!
That never gets old, what a great song
THE BEST BAND
Such a beatiful guitar solo! Simple but powerful at the same time.
This one and Turn the Page....how Geddy can play those lines and still sing is beyond my comprehension!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!
Why does no one ever talk about how sexy the guitar solo in this song is?
Great guitarist with some of the sexiest licks in the world. He and Brian May are the best currently alive
'Cos nobody really looks at guitar solos in that way!
One of my favorite Rush songs. Especially love the outro...
This song, as much as any other Rush plays, reflects the musical and technical perfection that has earned the respect and appreciation of both other professional bands and millions of fans around the world. the musical interlude from 3:00-3:55 is nonpareil!
You know it! And that note Al holds and whammies right before part 2 of his solo while Neil shreds the fill! 👍
OMG that Bass !
Look how fast his fingers go. Amazing 👏
that was the best live guitar solo ever to exist
Wow, minute 3:50 is so breathtaking, the bridge, the tune, everything in pure armony. Love it
Awesome ! Always loved this song. Really like the album version, but it's nice to hear a more "stripped down" version live without all the album production. Rush Rocks !
Absolute masterclass in musicianship. Find another trio making all that complicated music to perfection live.
1st Rush song I have ever heard, back in 1986 or something. Been addict since then. Much love to these 3 guys! So much work! Yet so much fun! I love it!
Damnit they were so good on stage- replicated the songs from the album with near perfection.
Greatest band to have graced the earth and beyond 💰💰💰
Man...this is the bomb, masters of instruments and vocals. Gotta play loud, I mean LOUD !!! Incredible.
LOVE RUSH
All over the World better listen the song of RUSH
Those guys were beast ! Nothing less !
HAH! I saw that! Peart cracked a smile there right before the end! He almost NEVER does that on camera. :D
Becasue he knows the song will soon end....old man is getting tired..LOL haha
It was almost a smile
I couldn't stop smiling watching this
Brilliant,fantastic music.Thank you RUSH!
I saw them on this BIG MONEY TOUR in CANADA! SUPERB!!!
Gracias Rush ..por este viaje interestelar

The drum fills on here are insane!
I Really, really, really love this tune. ❤
= absolutely beautiful.
Sure must be difficult to sing and play bass like that.
He also does the keyboards and the foot pedals, and refuses to have anyone else help him with it. Multitasking deluxe.
He makes it look easy too. Everytime I listen to them I'm at a loss for words. They are phenomenal
I had the privilege of seeing them in Milan ... they are really the best musicians I've ever heard
Some of Geddy's playing on Power Windows is hidden genius. Some of the best bass playing I've ever heard but never hear mentioned.
this is one of many things why i love Rush
My favorite Rush song from their 80s era 😃
Absolutely awesome
5:02 , one of my favorite moments in rock.
I will never forget those Green Lasers going over my head in 1982 Rosemont Horizon Grace Under Pressure
And yes I was doing one of those things you shouldn't be doing one of those things that bend reality I think they call it LSD
The song that introduced me to Rush way back in 1985. Been a rabid fan ever since.
I love the images from 5:22 to 5:55. Three great friends doing what they love together for the benefit of us all.
RIP Neil Peart. You was THE BEST!!
I swear these guys are one of the very few bands who can almost completely replicate their studio versions live decades later.
First Rush song I ever heard, soon after release. The cool older kids at high school. Travel well, Neil.
What can I say? Love this boys. Since my youth. Thank you.
The absolute craziness of the bass line during the verses. No idea how Geddy can sing while playing that frantically, but I sure as hell am grateful that I'm amongst all y'all that "get it." It's like being a math kid, only way more fun.
The best friends you will ever see in your entire life. God sent. ❤❤❤
There is SO MUCH going on in this song!! I love it.
Great performance of this song.
Awesome guys !! Can't decide who to watch ! Lord they are soooo gooood !! LOVE RUSH FOREVER 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Blessings👏🕊🍁
Damn still gives me Goose Bumps!
I have been lucky enough to have seen them live 6 times. Last time in Madison Square Garden. Just put it the video on the big screen with surround sound and you are there.
This is a Diamond in its pure state. Speechless... thanks God
Neil Peart is beast at the drums. Each note is burned into his memory, every millisecond he plays little beats very fast, being very exact.
“ONE MILLION DOLLARS”.......BEST ROCK BAND EVER!.....
I see rush in concert , mid 80’s in st Lois mo I took green windowpane along with the 3 girls I was with
The titre est une tuerie ! Bravo RUSH !
The Holy Trinity of music...no doubt
Love this song! This version is way more amazing than the recorded version! What ballsy energy
THE BIG MONEY SHOT! This video nails it and the triumvirate trio smashes it again! 👍
Lord these three had fun playing live.
This isn't a song, it's an opus!!
A living Musical Shrine in all the American Continent: from Canada to Mexico. ETERNAL!!
Alex you are incredible!!!!!
Sounds just like the album from forever ago.. Rush is just awesome and only got better with time.
Thank you Neil for sharing your talents with the world. Can't believe you're gone. RIP.
