Different Stages is the name of a 3-disc live album that was released while the band was on hiatus after Neil's daughter died in 1997, followed by his wife 10 months later. I was named that because it was recorded in arenas in several different cities --- also as a play on the names of 2 previous live albums, All the Worlds a Stage, and Eat, Stage Left.
@@KentBalzer im so sorry I made you cry. I almost cried too watching this. There is just something about them, the true raw emotion of this powerful trio. The fact we lost such an incredible talent. I hope you continue watching my reactions to them. There is more on the way. Big hugs from me 🤗🤟
"Different Stages" is the name of the Live album they put out after Neil had his family tragedy, in 1997. The live album was released in 1998. The video is a nice compilation of snips from different tours throughout their career, from 1977 onwards (1977 was when Closer to the Heart was released).
The first and one of the few Rush songs they played a lot on the radio I heard as a kid but more than enough to start a life long affinity for the band. 😊
Rush was one of those bands that would write songs while touring, for their next album, then go into the studio and crank out a new album in a couple of weeks, and very often because they got better with age and more practiced their live versions were often much better than the studio original. Fun fact you have seen Xanadu live, well they recorded that in one take for The Farewell To Kings album. 😊
Rush is the best band ever. Amazing musicians. Compositions and lyrics are top notch. Only 3 people is beyond comprehension. Have seen them a couple of times performing in Amsterdam and Rotterdam as i am from the Netherlands. More Rush please and thanks for your reaction videos here.
@@ingovaneijden966 so lucky you are for getting to see them live. The energy you must have felt. Don't go anywhere my friend, more Rush reaction vids on their way! RUSH SUPREME, RUSH FOREVER!!🤗🤟
@@hmohns7035 I love Canadians! Not only are you normally polite and nice to people, but you are also tough as nails when it matters. I've read a couple of books about Canadian troops in Normandy and Italy during WW2 and you Canadians were some of the fiercest fighters in the war. Thank you for Rush!
@@Heathcoatman Hehe yes we are very open minded and tollerant of others BUT yes we do have brutal reputation when it comes to war. THE German's in WWii really didn't like fighting us. For good reason :)
Hey Rush Sister! This is my favourite version of closer to the Heart. I love seeing all the different time periods. Lersxt in leather. Gotta love it! 😉 (Lersxt is one of Alex's nicknames) Geddy - Dirk Neil - Pratt Have you reacted to Dinner with Rush yet? I don't think you have. It's the guys having a "business meeting " where the wine and the jokes are flowing. Also, to see them younger please react to The Trees official music video. It is also a fabulous song. Cheers
@@debbieplato5107 omg the leather look, be still my beating heart 💓 lol What fun nicknames, and I haven't reacted to the dinner scene yet, its on my list 😁🤗🤟
@@WhimsyMeadows Quote from Neil’s "Roadshow" book: ""Pratt...was a play on the various butcherings of my simple Anglo-Saxon surname, “Peert.” [It morphed] into Nels Pratt, then just Nels, which Alex and Liam usually called me, or Mr. P., as Geddy preferred. Alex was usually “Lerxst,” which came from a long-ago, exaggerated pronunciation of his name as “Alerxt.” [And] Geddy was commonly “Dirk,” which derived from an invented name for an archetypical rock bass player, or secret agent-Dirk Lee.""
It's so cool to see the footage from all the yrs they played this song live. I'm sure they can play it in their sleep the number of times they've played this song. Just 3 guys jamming out for all to enjoy !
I was at one of those concerts. The one from 1988 where Geddy has the long ponytail. It was in Birmingham UK. Different Stages was their 4th live album released in 1998 not long into their 5 year hiatus owing to Neil's tragedies. Great reaction young Whimsy 😉xx
@danieloconnor1005 - ...and also over several decades! Totally mind-blowing! 🤯 It must really be true that many drummers use a metronome but metronomes had used Neil Peart! 😄 😉
I recently saw this for the first time and was so surprised by the literal 'different stages'; but what a cool idea for a video! I was five months old in November of 1977 when this song was originally released :)
Psalm 139:13-16 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
If you want another band to react to, something totally different... and yet a band with the same sort of great energy level... try a band comprising 5 women from Japan called Band-Maid. A great place to start would be with their official live music video for their song Domination: ruclips.net/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/видео.html
It's funny to track the era by Alex's hair style! Geddy's, other than a pony tail, or bangs cut, doesn't change much! LOL! I'll bet Alex & Neil wrote I Think I'm Going Bald, from COS Album! LOL!
Ged and Alex kind of get strapped down playing their instruments and don't get a lot of opportunities to run around the stage but when they do they make the best of it.
@@joesixpack8305 they are so youthful with all that energy. They are the perfect example of how concerts should be. When Rush play live, they are having fun. 🤗💓🤟
o/~ Sadder still to watch it die than never to have know it / For you the blind who once could see / the bell tolls for these o/~ Videos like this are still kind of hard for me to watch.

Until they were able to cut the cords and go wireless, that allowed them the freedom to go anywhere on stage.
