Thanks for reviewing this one, buddy. Everyone else seems to forsake this one and jump the Rio. This solo was done in his younger years and has a younger stack of phrases than his R-30. I say it has an explosive charm, all its own.
I’ve been a drummer most of my life and of course Neil Peart is in my top three all time incredible drummers. His speed is absolutely incredible and he’s also melodic with everything but he has such independence with every hand and foot I could not even come close to his incredible competence love hearing him. Let’s not forget that he wrote almost all the lyrics to most of their songs for at least the first decade or two what an intelligent human being I’ll miss them for the rest of my life.
Can you imagine being in a band, and weeks before your 1st big tour you realize that you need a drummer. You hold auditions and some kid named Neil Peart walks in. Its like hitting the freakin lottery. ❤️
Apparently he showed up in a Pinto with drums just crammed in there any way they could fit. He sets up and they start jamming. They noted he was really freaking loud, didn't talk much but could adapt to what they threw at him... That band went from good to legends with Neil .. and he needed two guys who would be pushed by him and yet they all meshed as friends
I was at all three nights when they recorded the Show of hands video (Birmingham NEC, UK) probably my favourite gigs of all the times I’ve seen Rush, and also got Geddy to sign my program.
I saw this tour, Jan. '88, people were looking at Peart during the drum solo the same way people were looking at Jimi Hendrix in 69 Woodstock playing The Star spangled banner with their mouth wide open like what in the world!!
As far as rock drummers go, Neil is far above the average… He is a Percussionist. Think of any other drummer of this era, and It’s no contest. Rest easy, Professor…
That bass is indeed a Wal. He went through a Wal phase (and a short Steinberger phase) for a while. I believe (and someone keep me honest) that he used Wal basses on Power Windows and on Hold Your Fire. The Steinberger was used just before the Wal on the Signals tour and on Grace Under Pressure. He liked the Steinberger live because not having a headstock meant he was less likely to bang it into something. But after recording with the Wal and getting good results, he ended up using the Wal live as well. This video was from the A Show of Hands DVD/VHS from back in the 80's. They look so young!
How you could have a drum kit that sounds this good in 1988 and then have that atrocity he played on the R40 tour is completely beyond me. Did he, his drum tech and everyone in the band go completely deaf at some point?!
Finally!!!! Someone else with the brains and courage to comment upon how atrocious the R40 DW's sounded (particularly the concert toms on the replica kit. I hate to think it, but I wouldn't be surprised if Neil didn't give a shit because he hated touring and every show on R40 was one closer to being finished. I stood at the monitor console in Vancouver for soundcheck, all you could hear was the drum kit (due to everyone wearing in ears and having no amps); they sounded ok, the high point of his later kits was his Paragon cymbals, which sounded amazing and sat in the mix beautifully from anywhere in the venue. DW's are garbage; the only reason anyone uses them is because they are free and DW will kiss any artist's asshole, not just the ass. Having said this, my favorite kit is still the rosewood Tama Superstars, his best looking and sounding kit. I wonder, if the production on ESL hadn't been so lazy, what that kit REALLY sounded like live. The tuning on this kit is phenomenal; I doubt any other live drummer can match Neil's ear and touch. And I think Larry Allen was still his tech, not that fckin wanker coc*sucker Lorne Wheaton, the biggest fvkin poser coc*sucker roadie on the planet.
Listen to these Ludwig Super Classics. First tour Neil used them on. None of his other kits even sound close to as good as far as live sound. I was so impressed with them after hearing them live on this tour that I bought a huge set of Super Classics a couple years later(sizes....6,8,10,12,13,16,18,22 bass drum) and still have them to this day. This particular shell is almost impossible to find now. Even on Ebay. At least a full set that is.
This is my second favorite Neil Peart Solo!!!!! The Professor's best solo ever,is off of the (Exit Stage Left!) But apparently there's no good footage coverage on it!!
My 2nd or 3rd Rush concert was this tour, Hold Your Fire, album. Alex had changed his guitar and tone a bit he said to cut thru the greater synth sound. Geddy's bass was new here from Richenbacker, to stick bass on Grace Under Pressure, to this one.
You should have your wife do some Rush reactions with you. You should do"The Garden" live. It's from their last studio album it has orchestration in it. It's a slower song
@nodrush80 I no exactly what you mean!!! Just about every single Musician Reaction I've ever seen of Neil Pearts Legacy Drum Solo is (IN RIO!!) This is my 2ond favorite Solo of Neil Peart's... To me,his best Drum Solo is off the (Exit Stage Left Live Concert Album!!) There's just apparently not any good Coverage of that Drum Solo!!!
My favorite version of this song. In fact, this entire live album is abso-fucking-lutely amazing! It was Rush in their prime when Geddy could still sing, and Alex was still blazing across the guitar. It also includes more than just their first 7 years. "Mission" on this album is a masterpiece - ruclips.net/video/mNn3zI2bCHw/видео.html
Another great reaction! You can't go wrong with Stickhits! Just an FYI if you don't already know, you can search Rush isolated bass/drums/guitar and there are some really cool videos. I thought you might enjoy the bass clips :-)
Thanks for the shout out dude! If you're ever getting other requests for live Rush, check my channel first because I try to keep up to date with the best remastered versions around (even this one is outdated and i've got a new upgraded version coming)
Actually in Canada it's pronounced YYZed. After the Pearson Toronto airport. In the United States fans say YYZ. Which is fine. Geddy Lee talked about this in an interview. It's okay to say YYZ in U.S.
Cool, I was going to request that you check out some Stickhits videos to do, but I wasn't sure if that was something that would be OK...Stickhits really does good work. Maybe hit The Weapon soon?
I asked StickHits and he said he was specifically trying to get new people into RUSH, and is cool with people using his remastered versions for reactions. I’m not sure about other parties.
I am merely a curator of Rush's historical archive and I encourage anyone and everyone to use my uploads in any way they like, plus I didn't exactly get permission from Rush to remaster them so I have no right to dictate where they end up :)
I'm glad the Wal era was just a phase for Geddy and it was short-lived. The Wal bass is just too plinky and rubbery sounding. His best bass tones was with the Fender Jazz and Rickenbackers, grunty biting aggressive tone with attitude.
Rush are bad*ss not dorks. Neil Peart is considered one of the greatest drummers if not the greatest. Rush is an amazing band. Each are highly talented and extremely proficient on their instruments. Yet nothing was said about them. As far as this resction..very disappointed. No enthusiasm, just shakes his head all the way through like a bobblehead. No excitement.. nothing. Like watching paint dry. Not only that he offended the band and fans by calling them "dorks". Worst reaction I have ever seen. Maybe react to much easier bands than Rush.
You're delusional. First of all... THEY ARE DORKS. Total dorks. Do you know what band we're talking about here? Next... this is a drum solo. If I were a drummer maybe yeah I'd be all over this guys chops or something, but I've seen half a dozen or more of his solos (I've now done their entire discography, studio and about to finish live)... Drum solos are not exciting to me. Songs are. And they have many incredible songs and albums. Some things are just a given at this point. Like Neil is one of the best rock drummers ever. Why do I need to say that in every video. You want me to say Neil is the best rock drummer in my over 600 Rush Reaction videos?! Get a clue dude.

The Professor on the drum kit. And then he went and completely changed his style. A true master.
Thanks for reviewing this one, buddy.
Everyone else seems to forsake this one and jump the Rio.

"I’ll miss them for the rest of my life."...yes
Can you imagine being in a band, and weeks before your 1st big tour you realize that you need a drummer. You hold auditions and some kid named Neil Peart walks in. Its like hitting the freakin lottery. ❤️
WOOOOWEEEE!!!!! LOVED YOUR COMMENT!!!!! (PERFECT) IN AN INTERVIEW,"I LOVED WHAT GETTY SAID!!" (I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE ARE DRUMMER!!!!!)
Apparently he showed up in a Pinto with drums just crammed in there any way they could fit. He sets up and they start jamming. They noted he was really freaking loud, didn't talk much but could adapt to what they threw at him...
That band went from good to legends with Neil .. and he needed two guys who would be pushed by him and yet they all meshed as friends
I was at all three nights when they recorded the Show of hands video (Birmingham NEC, UK) probably my favourite gigs of all the times I’ve seen Rush, and also got Geddy to sign my program.
Drums were out of this world but I did love those bass riffs on the stops by Geddy. Also great.
This is one of my favorite concerts of theirs. The production was heavenly
Great performance of YYZ and Neil's drum solo! 🤯
Great way to start the morning!
Cheers
I like this solo better than the Frankfurt one myself.
When I bought my first Rush album in 1980, I was glued. Thanks for the upload.
GOAT, Neil Peart... Greetings sir
I saw him do this live in 86. Greatest concert next maiden in 84. Both are equal in my books for my best concert ever.
I saw this tour, Jan. '88, people were looking at Peart during the drum solo the same way people were looking at Jimi Hendrix in 69 Woodstock playing The Star spangled banner with their mouth wide open like what in the world!!
As far as rock drummers go, Neil is far above the average…
He is a Percussionist.
Think of any other drummer of this
era, and It’s no contest.
Rest easy, Professor…
You can see the beginnings of the composition he was putting together for years: The Rhythm Method.
Enjoyed Alex's loose styling on this version.
For my money, this is Neil's best solo video performance on YT. (it's abridged, edited for time constraints of a VHS tape).
That bass is indeed a Wal. He went through a Wal phase (and a short Steinberger phase) for a while. I believe (and someone keep me honest) that he used Wal basses on Power Windows and on Hold Your Fire. The Steinberger was used just before the Wal on the Signals tour and on Grace Under Pressure. He liked the Steinberger live because not having a headstock meant he was less likely to bang it into something. But after recording with the Wal and getting good results, he ended up using the Wal live as well.
This video was from the A Show of Hands DVD/VHS from back in the 80's. They look so young!
In his prime. Progressive drummers learned and fell in love with this ara

IMO best live version of YYZ is live at Rio. No drum solo, but an amazing live performance
The Marimba parts are from the Pieces of Eight original solo. Check it out !
Listen to these Ludwig Super Classics. First tour Neil used them on. None of his other kits even sound close to as good as far as live sound. I was so impressed with them after hearing them live on this tour that I bought a huge set of Super Classics a couple years later(sizes....6,8,10,12,13,16,18,22 bass drum) and still have them to this day.

The video is nothing like the live, especially that tours lighting. I saw it and it was my favorite
The Hold Your Fire tour, great show! I saw them twice that tour on back to back nights in Dallas!!
Have not seen this version in awhile. Remarkably clean/precise even by Rush standards!
Average rock fan-“Drum solos are boring.”
Neil Peart-“Hold my beer.”
Neil P🦻t
Legend
This is my second favorite Neil Peart Solo!!!!! The Professor's best solo ever,is off of the (Exit Stage Left!) But apparently there's no good footage coverage on it!!

Alex had changed his guitar and tone a bit he said to cut thru the greater synth sound.
Geddy's bass was new here from Richenbacker, to stick bass on Grace Under Pressure, to this one.
David Letterman had a drum week and Neil was the finale. Search it up. Was really good.
This is my favourite solo with electronics. My favourite ever is from Exit Stage Left.
Dudes that's ungodly. 😎
When you say 9am, you mean 9am. Not a minute past.😀
You should have your wife do some Rush reactions with you. You should do"The Garden" live. It's from their last studio album it has orchestration in it. It's a slower song
Rush at their physical peak, love this version much better than Rio.
@nodrush80 I no exactly what you mean!!! Just about every single Musician Reaction I've ever seen of Neil Pearts Legacy Drum Solo is (IN RIO!!)
This is my 2ond favorite Solo of Neil Peart's... To me,his best Drum Solo is off the (Exit Stage Left Live Concert Album!!) There's just apparently not any good Coverage of that Drum Solo!!!
@@butchgifford1809 It's a shame too that the ESL wasn't filmed properly.
This was his Wal period. 85 to 93
YYZ call letters for Toronto International Airport. Nice Canadian boys.
My favorite version of this song. In fact, this entire live album is abso-fucking-lutely amazing! It was Rush in their prime when Geddy could still sing, and Alex was still blazing across the guitar. It also includes more than just their first 7 years. "Mission" on this album is a masterpiece - ruclips.net/video/mNn3zI2bCHw/видео.html
This era they tended to play most of their songs at a bit up-tempo (as crazy as that may be...)...just for a challenge I believe.
Awesome!! Haha :)
GOAT….🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦😎

from what I've heard thusfar I agree..
The Drum solo from Exit Stage Left is better :)
