    Rush has a special relationship with Cleveland, as if I remember correctly, they were discovered in the US on a local radio station there, with this song that resonated with Cleveland, as it is a hard working manual labor city, so as I guess that as a thank you they played this song last, but it being much more of a straight up rock song from their beginnings, that they have played hundreds of times, they decided to make it into a complex prog piece and go crazy with it.

      @sarastromseth-troy3323 2 месяца назад +2

      Donna Halper, the DJ who played 'Working Man; on a Cleveland radio station, is an interesting person: She was the first female DJ on her college radio station in the late 1960s and it took her until her senior year to convince the powers-that-be to hire her, because they didn't think women sounded good on the radio. Donna got her PhD at age 64 and became a college professor in media studies. There are some RUclips videos of her talking about the history of radio; she is a great public speaker, humorous and entertaining. There is also a video of her doing the Q&A portion of Geddy's book tour stop in Cleveland.

      I kinda rolled my eyes and said, "Really? I always heard they were discovered by Donna Halper at WMMS in Cleveland."
      "Yeah," he responds. "Professor Halper."
      My jaw hit the ground.
      Halper works at Emerson College now.

    RUSH & Cleveland had a special relationship. Cleveland was the city that broke RUSH; RUSH's management started sending 45's of this song to local rock stations; Cleveland's started playing it when no one else was (it was a long song, and the DJ who started playing it used it as a "bathroom song"), and even before they had a record deal, they had a US following in the Midwest that wanted to buy their records. Soon, they were opening for Uriah Heep; it was the thing that launched them on the US stage...

    Almost of Neil's kit stands are screwed into the riser, rather than free-standing on feet. He has done this since the early 80s. That's why you see the entire kit kind of jiggling as one. The riser is on a turntable (as you saw in the Frankfurt solo), it's not completely bolted down and immovable.

      John Rutsey was the drummer on Rush's debut album which featured a harder rock arrangement of Working Man. Due to health concerns Neil replaced Rutsey for Rush's first American tour. I specifically enjoy Working Man/Finding My Way from their All The World's A Stage (1976) live album which features a drum solo from the young Professor.

    The reason why Neil's drum set moves so much is because there is no rack. His kit is literally sitting on a 'forest' of hardware (see this: ruclips.net/video/bHPfy7cRA_U/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/g2R7vf3uZVA/видео.html). There are very few horizontal linkage. So when he works on his kit, all that forest of hardware just move around independently.

    Drumeo only has the original recordings transcribed, which means the transcription of Working Man they have is John Rutsy, not Neil. Working Man was on the first Album which Neil did not play on. Neil only played it live and Drumeo does not have any live material transcribed, which is a shame. I would love for them to transcribe Neil's solos. And if you want to hear an even better version of Working Man drumwise, listen to the version on Different Stages which can be found on Rush's RUclips channel. Although keep in mind it cuts off at the end abruptly because it is a live recording and on the CD it was part of a melody with Fly By Night and In the Mood. But it is my favorite version.

    Neil’s kit moves around a lot because if you look closely, none of the stands have the normal tripod leg bases; instead, the stands screw directly into the riser. I’m guessing this allows for much more space around his feet.

    its such a great idea as an established band who're playing the same songs year in and year out to do extended progressive medleys of their own songs. You could literally add new stuff and it wouldn't be weird at all.
    As long as the audience gets hear those key parts come in like that, they'll be blown away.

    The drumeo version will be entirely different, if it's the album version. It's from Rush's first album, on which John Rutsey was the drummer. Also, the reggae opening was new for this tour. In short, it was a far simpler track, back then.

    By the way, they played this song immediately after playing La Villa Strangiato, to which you've already reacted. It was a two-song encore.

    Doing bother looking for the transcription for this one. It's from the Rutsey days and Neil added a lot. This version was a jam session. The reggae intro was a joke as was starting La Villa Strangiato with a polka beat. It's just them having fun with the older material. I want cook work it when I was at the show, but I can see it and laugh today.

    this studio recorded song was written before Neil joined the group. This song was originally played by John Rutsey (original drummer, also no longer with us, Rush clearly wear out their drummers!) no doubt Neil has embellished his drumming parts but not 1 I would say is worth diving into from a drumming perspective.

    Neil's kit did wiggle due to just the post of the stands fit into holes in his drum riser. The stand themselves had no base or feet. That way, he was not competing as much for floor space and could pack more in. Because of this, the stand posts would wobble a little.

    The boys really went nuts on this particular performance. The rendition of "Working Man" on 'Rush In Rio' is closer to the original. Plus "By-Tor And The Snow Dog" from the same show is killer.

    They would often play about with older, “easier” songs to make a new arrangement more challenging and for a bit of fun!

  • @ischmidt
    @ischmidt 2 месяца назад

    This song is from their first record pre-Neil so it's a very straightforward hard rock thing that most people thought was Led Zeppelin the first time they heard it. Once Neil joined they immediately started changing it to be more interesting to play so this version almost 40 years later has not much of the original song left except the lyrics and the signature riff.

  • @lvgelfling72

  • @paulknerr9511
    @paulknerr9511 2 месяца назад

    Working Man was the first Rush song I heard in 1975. This version is nothing like the original. Original has John Rutsey on drums. Neil joined the band a few months after the release of this album. Fly By Night, the first album with Peart is absolute gold.

    I bust out laughing every time I see that "Canadian middle finger" meme 😂Now I get to sit back and listen to Alex's mind-blowing guitar solo. This happens to be the very last song they ever played in 2015, since it's the tune that started it all, before Neil (he didn't write these lyrics, and the reggae intro was just for entertainment value since all fans know the song and I'm sure it came as a fun surprise to them)

    Wow finally getting to this amazing performance. This one has a bit more focus on Bass and Guitar, rather than drums. Neil has modified this drum part from the original created by John Rutsey. Nice to see Rush back on the channel.

    How do three guys pushing 60 end a three hour long show? I know they will just lay down a performance that will blow people's minds for generations to come. P. S. Neil didnt write this one, it's from their first album when John Rutsey was the drummer.

  • @C_Melvyn_James

    Random observation: (not-so-dubious speculation)
    If you've ever heard the bootlegged (leaked and released on the "black market") live studio performance, Rush live at Electric Ladyland (also known as Rush Live at Electric Lady Studios), which was a live performance that was perhaps broadcast live on the radio or was a private showcase for music business execs (not sure. Possibly both), then you may have noticed the extended jam they did in Working Man, that included riffs that were obviously excerpts from a song they were working on, called, By-Tor and the Snow Dog, which would be on their second album (their first with Neil), Fly By Night.
    What I'm trying to say with that very, very long sentence is that it is clear to me that By-Tor and the Snow Dog was written by jamming out Working Man when Neil first joined the band. I've never heard it said that this is the case but it is plainly obvious when you listen to that performance of Working Man, which took place before they recorded Fly By Night.

  • @stevecollette6831
    @stevecollette6831 2 месяца назад

    The song is pretty straightforward as it was originally a John Rutsy version. The reggae intro was first played in the previous tour. For this tour, they extended it much longer….making many of us uncomfortable. 😂
    Not the toughest drum work for Neil, but still dun.
