    On Rush's first studio album recording, John Rutsey was the drummer. Neil joined the band on their Rush's first tour of the album. Working Man live in Cleveland is a must see. The energy displayed on stage is off the charts and it's not just Alex soloing in the Cleveland version, Geddy does a bass solo with Alex.

    This was John Rutsy on drums. He was their first drummer but he was Diebetic and being a teenager he didn't take care of himself and management was leary about him spending time on the road. Neil joined the band shortly after.
    Working man live in Cleveland is a must now. You will see three guys in their 50's rocking just as hard as they did in their 20's.

    In early 1974, a copy of the first Rush record came from Canada to a radio station in Cleveland, Ohio... a DJ there looked at one of the longer songs to put on the air so that she could take a bathroom break while it played 😂 That song was 'Working man'... and it was the perfect track for the area at the time, which was a working class city. The response from listeners was immediate, but confusing... they thought it was a new Led Zeppelin record! The DJ's answering the radio station's phones had to explain that it was a Canadian band named Rush. Copies of the first Rush album were in huge demand in Cleveland as a result.
    Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson were friends in high school and would often get together and jam... Alex Lifeson was the guitarist in a band named Rush, and he asked Geddy to join the band when they had a gig to play and no one to play bass and sing. John Rutsey was the drummer. This was in the late 60's... Rush made a name for themselves playing school events cos they were still teenagers in high school. Geddy and Alex also started writing original songs in the early 70's, as Rush started playing the Toronto bars in 1971 when the legal drinking age in Canada was lowered to 18. It enabled Geddy, Alex and John to practice their chops and develop their sound. Songs like "Finding my way"... 'In the mood'... "What you're doing"... came together in that time...
    A Toronto manager named Ray Danniels saw Rush live and offered to manage them... In 1973, Rush had enough songs for an album, but no record companies were interested... so, Danniels financed the recording of the first Rush album and released it independently on his own imprint Moon Records in 1974. The members of Rush had also decided to quit school and not graduate... focusing all their time on the band.
    Just as 'Working man' was getting radio airplay in Ohio and the first Rush album was selling in that area, Mercury Records (based in Chicago) heard the buzz around Rush... loved the first Rush record and opted to sign the band and bring them to the USA for shows. Members of Kiss also loved the record and the band Rush... they were offered to tour w/ Kiss in 1974/ '75. Producer Terry Brown was enlisted to re-mix the first Rush record and re-release it in 1974 on Mercury Records... Brown would produce all of Rush's albums until 1982.
    With the first Rush record being internationally released in 1974 and an American tour being booked as an opening band... Rush were ready to go, but drummer John Rutsey was not enthusiastic about the changes... Their managers also noticed that Rutsey was not healthy (he was a diabetic, he drank and wasn't taking care of himself) and were concerned that he wouldn't last on tour w/ weeks on the road... Rush opted to replace him before the tour.
    John Rutsey passed away in 2008.
    Neil Peart was working at his dad's farm machinery parts store when he was contacted by Rush's managers about auditioning for the band on drums... He had never heard of Rush or their music, but was encouraged to try out... Geddy and Alex thought that Neil was 'goofy' but he played incredibly... So, he was chosen to be the drummer for the tour and joined the band. Neil said he liked the band members and got into their music... While on tour, Geddy and Alex noticed that Neil was a heavy reader and very opinionated... and they thought he could write better lyrics for the band so that Geddy and Alex could concentrate on the music. Neil was up for the challenge and contributed lyrics to the 2nd Rush album 'Fly by night' in 1975, along w/ his drumming skills.

    • @sumonjamal1653
      @sumonjamal1653 Год назад

      @@scottwilson7835 Actually, Rush had a terrible contract w/ Mercury Records at the time. The A&R guy who signed them was Cliff Burnstein (who manages Metallica now) and he loved Rush's music... But the record executives didn't get them at all. Their royalty rate was low... by the time 'Caress of Steel' was released, they were flopping in sales and heavily in debt.
      When the label heard '2112' (which they reluctantly funded) they didn't get it all.
      It was the fans that made that record a success by 1977 without any big radio promotion. Only then did Mercury Records take them seriously.

    So nice to have the younger generation appreciate the rock music of the 70's. The 60's got the movement going, the 70's was the golden era that catapulted rock music into the stratosphere. You have a lot to explore, sir, because the 70's was the most explosive decade, in my humble opinion. Grand Funk Railroad, Led Zeppelin, The Who, UFO, Queen, David Bowie, Heart, Foghat, Aerosmith, and on and on it goes. We'll guide you along the way.

She helped make them huge in Cleveland (working class) with this song. Hats off to Donna!

    This was from their first album and it was before Neal Peart joined the band as their drummer and he was the one that wrote the majority of lyrics for all their songs from the second album to the last, 18th album they did. That's why the lyrics seemed simpler to you because they were written by the original drummer John Rutsey along with Geddy Lee.
    Couple of facts you may not know. Even though John rutsey played the drums on the studio recording of this album it was Neil Pier that played this album through the entire concert to her he joined the band 2 weeks before they went on tour. Also this first tour of theirs they were opening up for none other than Kiss. Gene Simmons heard Rush's album and really like them, he thought they sounded like a Canadian Led Zeppelin. Angine personally asked for them to be the opening act on Kiss's tour. I'm not sure if it was the Canadian only part of the tour, or if they were with Kiss through the us as well on this tour. But I'm sure one of your other listeners hear can answer that for us.

      I had some good friends and roomates who were a couple from Cleveland and when the city announced that the new Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would be built there, my friends were ecstatic!
      At the time, in the early 80s, I was straying from pop music cuz it started to suck. I was very open to new tunes that pop music hadn't provided in my little tiny "city" in the mountains. One of the roommates was a music teacher.
      When I got home from work each night, he would have an album teed up and we'd play cribbage or hacky sack for hours while he would tell me all about the songs we listened to. I learned a boatload about the music industry and musician debauchery like Keith Moon stories from him and as a musician myself, I really appreciated his knowledge and the excitement when playing his favorite songs. I found the absolute best rock musicians in the world through him. Anyway, your comment reminded me of a pivitol time in my lifelong love of music. Thank you!

    It's interesting you would say "Alex didn't have solos."
    If you listen closely to any of the "solos" that occur on
    most any of their pieces, you will most likely hear THREE
    solos happening. When Alex takes the spotlight, enjoy it,
    and then listen AGAIN to the bass work, listen AGAIN and
    enjoy the intricacies of drum work. Then listen one more
    time as to how it all fits together and realize you are listening
    to greatness, listening to pure genius.
    Enjoy the rabbit hole!

    Was hoping to would check out the song facts and discover that wasn't Neil Peart. As others have said, this was original drummer John Rutsey. He was eased out of the band shortly after the band recorded their debut album. The official story is that management believed that given his severe diabetes and the rigors and temptations of the road, that if he went on tour, he would come home in a box. There has also long been a rumor that since Rutsey had a real "meat and potatoes" style of drumming, that his drum style wouldn't fit the more prog musical direction that Geddy and Alex wanted to pursue, so he was pushed out.

    When this song was first played on the radio in Cleveland, people were flooding the station with phone calls wanting to know what was that new Led Zepplin song they just heard.
    In the song's ending, the tempo grinds down slower and slower as the "working man" has run out of energy at the end of a long hard day of work. He tumbles into bed and falls asleep, just in time for the alarm clock to rouse him out of bed (Alex shredding on the guitar) telling him it's time to start the working day all over again.

    Rush is one of three Bands with the strongest following, (decade after decade), yet none had a true "Frontman". I'm thinking of Rush, Greatful Dead, and Pink Floyd. Fans were loyal, going to every show, and these three bands were all about playing extraordinary music, and respecting their fans. Not into "showmanship" (though Floyd did have a big light-stage show), but nobody was jumping around on stage. Try listening to Greatful Dead's "China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider".

    Original drummer John Rutsey was a good friends of theirs, they didn't want to let him go but poor dude was getting sick on tour and having a hard time of it, which is understandable driving all over creation in a crappy van with a few other dudes for months, it's a tough life and not for everyone but Rush fans still love John, dude was a member of Rush on the first album and he killed it! Funny you said you may have heard that extended outro style from Kiss as Rush toured with Kiss early in their careers, seems an odd combo, and it is, but they got along great, while on tour together Rush would watch baseball games in their hotel rooms while Kiss would be having wild, sexy parties in their hotel rooms haha

That would have been cool to watch people actually start freaking out about that first Rush album because they were so young and full of energy, you know. I bet that was a fun vibe in 1974 as people started getting turned on to them!
