That's exactly the first question I asked myself in the late 70s when I first listened to their music: only 3 guys can make this awesome music? Since then they've been the standard I use on music.
At 16 --heard Tom Sawyer, fell in love with Rush At 18 -- front row seat to Signals tour For the next 30 years they were my go to band At 48 I took my teenage son to see the Time Machine tour...he became a drummer. At 51 I sadly saw their last tour (R40)....Rush..the soundtrack of my life.
BKV YOU'RE A 1 LUCKY FAN TO SEE RUSH.. I'M FROM SINGAPORE HOPING TO SEE RUSH BUT UNFORTUNATELY MY FAVORITE BAND RETIRED. AND NOW MY IDEAL NEIL PEART GONE FOREVER..
Speed King Damn bro. I’m sorry you didn’t get a chance to see them in person. I saw Rush in Columbia South Carolina in the U.S. during their Signals tour and saw them at Rupp Arena in Lexington Kentucky during their Power Windows tour and I didn’t see them again until 2015 in Greensboro NC during their R40 tour. Not very many bands go to Singapore because their fan base isn’t that great but when Rush went to Rio that all changed. They just didn’t get around to touring every single corner of the globe 😢
At huge shiver went up and down my body towards the end of this killer song. It also always happens in the outro solo in "Mission". Most ppl. unfamiliar with RUSH would watch this video and assume it was playing at 1.5x speed; Geddy's fingers move so frickin' fast on that bass. So much raw power and talent on display.
Learn Neil's drumming and he'll be very present I assure you. . He left a legacy of high standards sure. Yet it's very fun to try to play. . Ripeace NP
DoomedAnt Yeah but once Neil got his life back on track he was back at it. Being a musician and having a passion for the instrument was in his blood since childhood. You don’t just walk away from that. When all of those things happened to Neil the only thing he needed was time and space to deal with what he was going through and a few years later he was back with RUSH and they were bigger than ever. There’s a picture of Neil floating around the internet of him sitting on his couch at home with his daughter holding her hand while he’s reading a book to her..........when I saw that I about burst into tears because Neil was only a few months into retirement and he was given a death sentence. Being able to have more moments like that with his young daughter just seem stolen from him. Life is precious and the time we are here on earth is extremely short. His numerous albums with RUSH and literary works are his contributions to society. His true legacy is his daughter Olivia. A piece of Neil’s humanity will live on in her for many years to come and that is something that he was truly proud of.
I know not much; a complete lackey. But when he died, I heard all say "best drummer". So now I listen and watch this, and I hear the whole tune going through various rhythms and phases, through quite radical changes (a typical Rush thing). Then I listen to and watch Peart, and I see how he keeps the song together with his drumming. Impressive.
Yeah, the lack of new material or concerts is a new normal we have to get used to. At least we have a full catalog of great selections to look back on.
Agent J You’re funny!! We are all students. But yes I listen regularly to RUSH. It’s a shame that we wil never see this musicianship again. Once in a lifetime I’m just glad I was alive to witness GREATNESS. Cheers!
I love Rush but I think it's... _interesting_ that when they used prerecorded tracks 'live' it was praised as 'multitasking' but when just about anyone else does it it's called "cheating". They were great live, don't get me wrong, but I always noticed that there were often more instruments being heard than being played (e g. rhythm guitar parts playing during Alex solos, keyboard parts playing while Geddy's busy playing bass, etc). There's no way all of the prerecorded tracks were being triggered by Alex, Geddy, and Neil. But even if they were, that's still called cheating when other bands do it, but when Rush did it it was praised as 'multitasking'.
@@slxyer145 You have an irony deficiency. You took that as on the level? Shameful! Was that on a Rush thread? 🤔 Speaking of the R40 tour, during one show, Alex's guitar had some sort of issue and he hollered at a techie for assistance (never saw him so pissed), and for a few seconds when he was swapping guitars, he was guitar-less, yet the guitar part continued uninterrupted. Kinda killed the show for me. You can't unsee/unhear something like that. Makes you wonder what's live and what's a prerecorded track.
I hope for their sake that they accept our saviour Yeshua[Jesus] into their lives ! It's a shame that three intelligent men like themselves are blinded to the truth! Amein. Take care and don't take that poison vaccine ,it will change your DNA.
Wow I feel like I just stepped back in time about 30 years ago (!) when I first saw Rush live. After all this time, they are STILL the most technically perfect band to hear live. Hands down. Long live Rush!
All 3 are consummate artists and musicians hands down PERFECT even if they dont sometimes. Rush is with me everyday in everyway . THEY KEEP ME SANE .( maniacal laughter ) " Don't stop there ! "
amazing bass player and keyboard... a terrible singer band would be one of ALL time greats if they choose to have a separate singer with a quality voice. As a result Geddy's tone holds their amazing musicianship and composition skills back! #Fact
I’m 54 and have listened to the boys for 40 years...man, oh man, I miss seeing them in concert! I’ve got many great memories of going to their shows, a highlight over the years for me. So technically proficient on their instruments that IMO that no other band will ever compare. Enjoy retirement guys! Thanks for the soundtrack of my life!
RIP NEIL PEART. I was at this show, it was an honor to see your drumming live. It was an even bigger honor to see the greatest band of all time before they retired. I wish your retirement lasted longer and that you didn't have to suffer. I'm happy you got to spend those last few years with your family.
Well said, broke my heart that he must have suffered so :( I only got to see them play once, on this tour. I saw them at The ACC in Toronto; took my son and his brother! Excellent show...the guys will be sadly missed
@@Fretless99 I read on Facebook from Jethro Tull's drummer, who was a friend of Neil, that he didn't suffer any pain, and that of course they were all glad about that. My mother also died from brain cancer almost four years ago (RIP) and yes, she spent more than a month being terribly weak but fortunately she never needed morphine or anything to combat intense pain typically associated with these terrible illnesses.
@@VMWorldC08 If that is so, I am most grateful.My favourite drummer... My sympathy to you on the loss of your Mom :(. I am so sorry...glad she didn't need the morphine. My best friend has brain cancer, he has been fortunate in that he doesn't have much pain. Still sucks though... I take morphine for chronic pain, and it has been very helpful to me; enables me to function reasonably well. It's not for everyone, but serves me well. Doesn't jack me up or make me feel high...I wouldn't want that. Just takes the edge off. I've been using morphine for 20 + years... Anyway...take care of yourself; please keep safe and well...thanks for responding! With respect, from Canada
@@Fretless99 Thank you. Sorry to know you need morphine but good that it doesn't drug you. And as for your friend, I sincerely hope he'll be able to get totally cured from that terrible disease. Stay safe you too! Claudio Delgift
@@Fretless99 By the way, given there's quarantine time and lots of spare time these days, you might wanna check the LIGHT RUclips. This is my band and we've already released two albums. ruclips.net/user/lightband Enjoy!
First tour: LA Forum 1982. Last tour: Final show ever, LA Forum. Thank you Neil, Alex and Geddy. I don't think I could have made it through this life without your music.
@@chinatype2bassrocker809 That's awesome. Wow. I remember Golden Earring now! I had forgotten that. They had a huge hit at the time with 'Twilight Zone'. RUSH played 3 nights straight, as I recall. They were at the peak of their powers: youth, hunger, musicianship. They always maintained a high level of quality, throughout their career, and the last show was probably my favorite, for both sentimental reasons and the deep catalogue. Cheers!
I went and saw this tour in Buffalo ny with my dad when I was 28, he was 48. One of the best bonding moments. An amazing show, and unfortunately their last. I'm glad we made it. I've been a fan since I was 13. They will be sorely missed.
Thanks so much dear majesties 👑👑👑Geddy Lee🎸, Alex Lifeson 🎸& the master of drums, Neil Peart🥁🎼🎵🎶 for your spectacular rock 🤘🏼music for eternity. I love🤗😍 you all band forever & beyond from 🇲🇽Mexico city to great & beautiful Canada🇨🇦.
@@michaelwilson2340 Yea, they took some flack for that, particularly with Signals where the guitar took a back seat. I don't care, I thought it was a great album. Everyone was doing it back then, Van Halen, Police, the Cars, etc.
@@magneto7930 I love Grace Under Pressure myself. Fantastic album. I love New Order, Alan Wilder era Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk, so I enjoy the electronic elements in Rush's 80's work.
Love this song My dad grew up in St Catharines and played a farewell show for Neil Peart when he was moving to Toronto to join Rush When I began drumming, I listened to Neil religiously and base my style a lot off of his. Saw them in 2012 in Toronto for Clockwork Angels. Sad I will never see them again but have that cool story about my dad that I get to hold on to Rest In Peace, Neil
Holy crap that was excellent, imo the creativity of Rush is unequaled. Rush, three guys who gave us a non-stop flow of unique finely crafted music for over 40 years, words cannot express'
Rush stopped the same year as my Brother's heart. His bass playing career was influenced by Ged from his early teens and he was the one who introduced me to the music of Rush, which like him, became the primary guiding light for my entire adult life. Rest in peace Mick, rest in peace Rush. I miss you both so much.
My dad took me to see them at the 1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheater in 2010 when they were on their Time Machine Tour. That's something I'll remember until the day I die.
@@checkyoself9 Yeah. It's not that bad though, I got to go to a Disaster Area concert and I went deaf, so I wouldn't have been able to hear them anyway.
Alex and that Gibson les paul are the song.....glad to see Alex playing all those Les pauls on the last tour.no one can get the sound out of a Les Paul like Alex can.
One of the sickest basslines of the galaxy followed with that stratospheric guitar riff and in top of it one of the greatest drummers to ever step on the face of the earth. Not to mention the pertinent lyrics.
I'm not sure, but I think this was the first Rush song that I ever heard. Before MTV came to my small town, the best way to watch music videos was to watch Friday Night Videos on ABC, Night Flight on USA, or Night Tracks on TBS. So sometime around 1984-5, these music video shows started playing the video for "Distant Early Warning" on a regular basis. I would've been 11 years old in 1984 and although I was more into bands like KISS, Motley Crue, and Iron Maiden, I would sit and watch this video because it interested me. Little did I know that by the end of 1987, I would become immersed in everything having to do with Rush. There was something about that little kid riding on that missile that made me wonder what the hell they were saying.
@zdzdzd zdzdzd My fiancé was born completely deaf but has a cochlear implant and can hear music so much better. She’s hooked on Rush and can’t wait to experience this in a couple of weeks.
Since I was 3 years old and I listened to “2112” this band has blown my mind ❤ I miss seeing good Live music so much! So glad I was able to catch this last tour ✌🏻 Thank you RUSH for decades of Kick Ass Music!
I am deeply in love with Rush's work, I am 24 years old and unfortunately it is very difficult to see them, especially in South America .. I will continue to enjoy them forever!
my wife, a classically trained oboist at a major orchestra - me, a classical and contemporary guitarist - we met in college in the music department 36 years ago. Our favorite band of all time? Rush. How can we not? I mean - c'mon. Our car broke down on the way to the Hershey Park concert about 8 years ago. We called Enterprise (we'll pick you up) and they gave us a car. We got to our seats during the opening number "Subdivisions". RIP Neal. I have this on my wall "the measure of a life is a measure of love and respect, so hard to earn, so easily burned, in the fullness of time, a garden to nurture and protect". words to live by for all humans. side note: Geddy's bass is the bomb.
i seen many bands multiple times but rush is the only band i gotta say live is the best . . they are funny & i laugh as they rock my ass off. never disappointed not even a second... its amazing all that sound coming from 3 members....... .
No words to says wow big they are I miss the RUSH and never forget all my life they are teach me every day I have Ben at 3 concerts rush in Porto Alegre,R30, snakes and arrows tour , drum teck event in NH I am glad it !!!!🥁🌈
A fan since '76, seen them many times. Words can't express the feelings i get from their music, They hold a special place in my heart. Giants of musical technique and execution thereof... RUSH!!
Absalom, Absalom...! There is something so powerfully delivered by Geddy in those last two words... they’re actually haunting to listen to. Maybe it’s because of his Jewish lineage, and these words hark back to biblical times..., whatever, they’re piercing. Neil ends this song, alluding to King David’s 3rd son (Bible) who had the charisma but not the character to rule or lead the people of Israel, and because of pride /greed rebelled against his father and ended up dying in war against him. When his father saw his dead son he grieved deeply and spoke those words twice, which echoes the theme of the song for mankind. which is mankind cultivated pride and greed to a point where we brought all life to hang in the balance, as we stood on the brink of nuclear destruction. Same story manifest on a global scale, thousands of years later. Let the wise discern... RIP master lyricist and poet of my generation , NEP.😪
Myself a 20 other RUSHophiles have purchased front row seats for the show and we all went to Midland Liquidators on Kingsway in Vancouver BC to get fitted for red coveralls to reenact our "Moving Pictures" reunion at GM Place for the R40 Tour show! We're all so jacked to have another chance to see our musical heroes as a group!
Rush the best rock band in the Milky Way Galaxy that we know of......! Yes lots of great bands over the years and YES is one lmao🤪... None have had the longevity and creativity for 40 years! We as Rush fans are lucky we even got 21 Century RUSH at all after Peart's tragic losses.... but we did! For that I will always be greatful because those 3 albums kick ass and the extra tours like R30, Time Machine and R40 were fan-tastic!!!! Yup! I maybe a Jazz, Jazz/Fusion cat but I'm Forever a Rush fan too!!! Thanks Alex ,Geddy and Neil for making teen life tolerable and keeping me from jumping off that rocky leg back in 1990.
Rush were my gateway drug into swing jazz. Which I'm enjoying VERY much. But, I find the more modern jazz stuff to be on levels of the progiest of progrock levels of pretentious. Yes you can play all them fancy notes. But, it ain't got no bounce Jackson. If Rush never had anything else they had that bounce. And, I loved them for it too.
I got the joy and privilege to watch them in concert only once in my life with a few friends. We were all in our early forties, but behaved like thirteen years old...choking in alcohol. Never got the chance to see them again...and never will. 🌹🌹🌹
As a younger Rush fan, I was a latecomer to their music. With that being said, it's hard for me to cite other bands that had a similar impact on me as a musician. 2112 made me want to pursue music. I had only been playing bass for a few months, and I saw it as a hobby. 2112 changed all that. Thank you, Geddy, Alex, Neil, and John. Your influence on me is undeniable.
One of the few acts I've seen in concert more than once. Both times were unique experiences. Their music will never be duplicated. Amazing musicians. RUSH fan forever.
Been a huge Rush fan for 25 years and I still love listening to them..I don't think I will ever get tired or bored of listening to them..true love is eternal I suppose..
Happy birthday super Dave! My birthday is August 16, I’ll be 56. I’ve seen Rush 13 times since I was a teenager. Sucks that I won’t be able to make it 14!
@@MrMetz2112 Happy Birthday! Yeah, it broke my heart when I heard they might retire back in Feb. of 2015.... I drove up to Tulsa for the first show, it was awesome.
Wow, feeling very emotional. Signals, Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows were a very important part of my life. Guys, as all your lifelong fans will say to you "thank you so much for your songs, musicianship and incredible mastery of your craft. God bless :-)
I had a buddy in high school (in the early 90's) who like me was budding a musician, but he was really only into new wave, industrial music, and EDM. I was into guitar music, mostly metal, some classic rock, and some psychedelic music, but I also dug a lot of what he enjoyed as well. One night we were at a party, and as it turned out we were both tripping on shrooms, as were a few other folks. A bunch of us were in the basement of the house, which had a big comfy den, spinning vinyl from the dad of the guy throwing the party's collection. To my amazement, he had a lot of Rush, and being that I loved Grace Under Pressure, I threw it on. My synth obsessed friend scoffed and protested, but about 30 or 40 seconds after DEW started, this look of amazement came over him and he just sat and took the whole rest of the album in silently. Then he went OFF for nearly an hour about how detailed and intricate it was, and that he hadn't given enough considerstion to other types of music. Long story short, he took up the drums about a month later and became one of the more sought after guys locally. Blew his mind lol
One their top songs. Geddy's use if the keyboards/base wonderfully fills the song with substance. Alex's guitar is as always uniquely spot on and Neil is, well, the Professor. The song's denouement from around the 3:50 mark crescendos and leaves the listener on seat's edge. Rush stand firmly atop the pantheon of great rock/prog groups.
I love that they sound the same on stage as in the studio! You can actually sing along to them! My absolute favorite band! Saw them at Pine Knob in Detroit for the Roll the Bones tour! The best show ever!
As a RnB guy, I had never heard of Rush unitl I saw this track on MTV and In loved watching Neil Pert Play. This track really shaped my mind that there were bands outside of RNB. I love Rush for that very reason. I will miss you Mr. Pert, you can leave this earth knowing the inpact you had on so many people and the standard you set for Rock!
THANK YOU RUSH 🙏while walking through the trees, or down the high school halls, your music is the soundtrack to my life 💕 endless love from yes, a female Rush fan 🤟 #cinemastrangiatto
So much talent! All three are truly one in a billion! Geddy's bass playing and keyboard work on this song is so tight! Neil's on another planet of percussion! Least not forget Alex playing another balanced lead, rhythm, and everything in between! The energy from a Rush show goes to Eleven! Just three guys from Canada! Yes please!
I cry everytime because I never saw Rush live despite countless opportunities. Moving Pictures was purchased new by my ten year old self in another time and place. One that I will never forget and always wish to return to.
Musically, they never lost a step over 40 years. Their musicianship is just insane. Geddy lost his ability to hit those high notes several years ago, but the music itself if simply impeccable.
@@Lazman2634Geddy sounded a lot better on their farewell tour than he did in the preceding 4-5 years, but it still wasn’t to the Vapor Trails/R30 standard, which was extremely good for his age at that time. He got old, it’s happens. It’s tough to sing in the 5th octave in your 60s. It’s even tougher to do so for 30 songs a night, while simultaneously playing bass and triggering key samples with your feet. Mere mortals wouldn’t even attempt it.
This is the song that got me hooked on Rush 40 years ago when I was 10 years old but also Alex and geddy's playing wanted me to learn guitar even more even though I now play bass only
Being a part of these original shows, then seeing them again, all these years later; just makes one miss these guys so much more. The nostalgia of the love and magic they created leaves the heart and soul yearning for that time in our youth.
What is the significance of the washing machines from the bands perspective? I have seen several Rush concert videos with washing machines in them. Please bear in mind I have never seen them live.
@@kmaher4980 That's a good question. I'm not really sure about that, myself...It does appear that they relate themselves between man & machine quite often. I know someone who's seen then around a dozen times in concert, though. Maybe I'll ask 😊
@@kmaher4980 Geddy doesn't use bass amplifiers anymore, he connects his bass straight to the mixing console. I may be wrong about something. The dryers are just to fill the empty space :D
@@kmaher4980 At the end of the show some lucky basterds made off with a free concert t-shirt that said this shirt came from Geddys' Dryer if I recall correctly.
I am so thankful to have been around when Rush started. I have enjoyed them since the 70's. It was a wonderful time to be alive and able to hear so much great music by so many great bands. I LOVE RUSH just like most people here. All the World is a stage is still my favorite. Great live album. I pray that Alex and Geddy get the desire to find a new drummer and go on tour. Hey.... Alex Van Halen is available and they are good friends. hmmmm. Yes, I know he's not Neil Peart, but there are some truly amazing drummers who could fit in very nicely: Bill Bruford, Chester Thompson, Alan White, Terry Bozio, Michael Walden, and Billy Cobham. All of whom have played progressive rock and capable of memorizing a lot of complex compositions. I would love to see Rush continue.
At 18 years old I bought the 8-track, (look it up kids) of "All the World's a Stage"...Geddy screaming, Alex with those Marshalls and those chorus and delay pedals, and Neil drumming like I'd never heard before. I do miss the band, but I was lucky....I had 40 years with them. Nothing last forever, folks.
marc davidoff Oh yes the good old cassette days... Play that sucker until it got eaten in the machine... yes their song writing so inspiring and of course they’re very gifted musicians 👍
I discovered Rush one day when In the End was played on the radio, by this unheard of band called Rush, from an unheard of new album called Fly By Night....and the rest is history! 44 years ago.
John Smith Simply an awesome band and they’re just pretty cool humble guys too... it’s nice to see success never went to their heads🎼🎤🎸✌️ there’s a funny video on here of them having dinner at a restaurant that shows their sense of humour lol 😂
🌄 R U S H is no doubt one of the best bands to see live ! Every time and every venue I've seen them they come as close to the studio, and when they decide to improvise they're still innovative w/true unadulterated sparks of musical genius and we all know taste is subjective but like millions of fans I can't thank them enough for being part of the artistic tapestry of my life ! 🎵🤘Long live ROCK + RUSH ! !✌🏞🎶🎸🌟🌈⛥🏛🍻🍾😎✨
I’m so glad I got to grow up listening to these guy’s, and then to share the experience with my own two boy’s, live , on 3 separate occasions. Many thanks to Geddy , Alex and Neil.
The most perfect sound and musicians I ever see. We ´ll all miss this band, the passion and the technic ata every song. We can say that RUSH is an inmortal band. I grow up with this three monsters of sound. I hope in my next life to hear them again!
Tickets booked. Going all alone since there are no rush fans in this modern generation. Im 90s born heavily influenced by my dad’s musical taste. Btw watching in Montreal Quebec
I'm going to a show in Southern California and taking my daughter, a Rush fan born in late 2006. However unlikely it will be, should they tour I will pay any price for her and me to see them.
Rush IS Music they developed their style, staying loyal to their fans. I can not name another band so humble, so creative, so passionate. Rush is here to stay ITALIAN 🇮🇹 DREAMERS
In my opinion RUSH is the best 3 man band EVER..if you agree hit the 👍🏻 button..long live RUSH.
Best hard rock band ever. Hard to make an argument against that. But I think Clapton, Baker, and Bruce may have a bone to pick with that one.
Never had the privilege to see them live, I am very excited about this movie August 21 need to know more about it
That's exactly the first question I asked myself in the late 70s when I first listened to their music: only 3 guys can make this awesome music? Since then they've been the standard I use on music.

I don't know if I wanna get in on this, but IMHO Cream & both Jimi's groups... It's all apples & oranges. They don't compare.

Nice shout out to Rutsey. You have to wonder just how many people are like "Who?"

HighPower762 there the best
Yep, favorite band ever.
Can't believe Neil Peart is no longer with us... Rest In Peace, dear friend. Your legacy will live forever.
Wow I feel like I just stepped back in time about 30 years ago (!) when I first saw Rush live. After all this time, they are STILL the most technically perfect band to hear live. Hands down. Long live Rush!
All 3 are consummate artists and musicians hands down PERFECT even if they dont sometimes. Rush is with me everyday in everyway . THEY KEEP ME SANE .( maniacal laughter ) " Don't stop there ! "
Geddy Lee one of the most talented lead singers in Rock and Roll history
The most unique.
and bass player,key board
One-man replaces 3 he's amazing
amazing bass player and keyboard... a terrible singer band would be one of ALL time greats if they choose to have a separate singer with a quality voice. As a result Geddy's tone holds their amazing musicianship and composition skills back! #Fact
No one was bold enough to tell Geddy how much better they would sound with a real dinger! #Shame
I’m 54 and have listened to the boys for 40 years...man, oh man, I miss seeing them in concert! I’ve got many great memories of going to their shows, a highlight over the years for me. So technically proficient on their instruments that IMO that no other band will ever compare. Enjoy retirement guys! Thanks for the soundtrack of my life!
RIP NEIL PEART. I was at this show, it was an honor to see your drumming live. It was an even bigger honor to see the greatest band of all time before they retired. I wish your retirement lasted longer and that you didn't have to suffer. I'm happy you got to spend those last few years with your family.
Well said, broke my heart that he must have suffered so :(
I only got to see them play once, on this tour. I saw them at The ACC in Toronto; took my son and his brother! Excellent show...the guys will be sadly missed
@@Fretless99 I read on Facebook from Jethro Tull's drummer, who was a friend of Neil, that he didn't suffer any pain, and that of course they were all glad about that. My mother also died from brain cancer almost four years ago (RIP) and yes, she spent more than a month being terribly weak but fortunately she never needed morphine or anything to combat intense pain typically associated with these terrible illnesses.
@@VMWorldC08 If that is so, I am most grateful.My favourite drummer...
My sympathy to you on the loss of your Mom :(. I am so sorry...glad she didn't need the morphine.
My best friend has brain cancer, he has been fortunate in that he doesn't have much pain. Still sucks though...
I take morphine for chronic pain, and it has been very helpful to me; enables me to function reasonably well. It's not for everyone, but serves me well. Doesn't jack me up or make me feel high...I wouldn't want that. Just takes the edge off. I've been using morphine for 20 + years...
Anyway...take care of yourself; please keep safe and well...thanks for responding!
With respect, from Canada
@@Fretless99 Thank you. Sorry to know you need morphine but good that it doesn't drug you. And as for your friend, I sincerely hope he'll be able to get totally cured from that terrible disease.
Stay safe you too! Claudio Delgift
@@Fretless99 By the way, given there's quarantine time and lots of spare time these days, you might wanna check the LIGHT RUclips. This is my band and we've already released two albums.

Enjoy!
I’m 55, and I discovered Rush when i was 13…..and from the first notes 42 years later……..instant goosebump
❤ from France
First tour: LA Forum 1982. Last tour: Final show ever, LA Forum. Thank you Neil, Alex and Geddy. I don't think I could have made it through this life without your music.
I too was at the Forum show in 82. I had some 8x10 photos of that show. Golden Earring opened.
@@chinatype2bassrocker809 That's awesome. Wow. I remember Golden Earring now! I had forgotten that. They had a huge hit at the time with 'Twilight Zone'. RUSH played 3 nights straight, as I recall. They were at the peak of their powers: youth, hunger, musicianship. They always maintained a high level of quality, throughout their career, and the last show was probably my favorite, for both sentimental reasons and the deep catalogue. Cheers!
@@quintbromley2112 Do you happen to remember the drummer falling off his drum stool at that show? That's what Made me remember them.
@@chinatype2bassrocker809 I don't. I was probably reading the RUSH program! 😊🥁🎸🤘
@@chinatype2bassrocker809 - I was there as well!!! Rock on!
I went and saw this tour in Buffalo ny with my dad when I was 28, he was 48. One of the best bonding moments. An amazing show, and unfortunately their last. I'm glad we made it. I've been a fan since I was 13. They will be sorely missed.

@@chrismorris6356 Love Power Windows!
Eddie Trunk doesn't like their keyboard albums, but he's a talentless hack.
@@michaelwilson2340 Yea, they took some flack for that, particularly with Signals where the guitar took a back seat. I don't care, I thought it was a great album. Everyone was doing it back then, Van Halen, Police, the Cars, etc.
@@magneto7930 I love Grace Under Pressure myself. Fantastic album. I love New Order, Alan Wilder era Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk, so I enjoy the electronic elements in Rush's 80's work.
Rush is the best band ever very cool
best band ever impossible.songs could be a beatiful.there are much more bands good than rush.
Lonnie, you are absolutely correct!!!!
anocsalepo STFU dipshit, ESL moron🙄
I agree LG, they were my favourite rock band. They made my country proud :)
@@anocsalepo not at all lmao
Rush IS the soundtrack of my life ... period !!! Ive been fortunate to have seen Rush many times over the years ...
Love this song
My dad grew up in St Catharines and played a farewell show for Neil Peart when he was moving to Toronto to join Rush
When I began drumming, I listened to Neil religiously and base my style a lot off of his. Saw them in 2012 in Toronto for Clockwork Angels. Sad I will never see them again but have that cool story about my dad that I get to hold on to
Rest In Peace, Neil
Holy crap that was excellent, imo the creativity of Rush is unequaled.
Rush, three guys who gave us a non-stop flow of unique finely crafted music for over 40 years, words cannot express'
Rush stopped the same year as my Brother's heart. His bass playing career was influenced by Ged from his early teens and he was the one who introduced me to the music of Rush, which like him, became the primary guiding light for my entire adult life. Rest in peace Mick, rest in peace Rush. I miss you both so much.
My dad died the same day as Neal.
The most humble yet so talented band to ever exist. R.I.P. NEIL
I wish I could have seen them live. One of the greatest bands ever.
My dad took me to see them at the 1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheater in 2010 when they were on their Time Machine Tour. That's something I'll remember until the day I die.
Zaphod Beeblebrox if only you had an Infinite Improbability Drive at your disposal. 😉
@@checkyoself9 Yeah. It's not that bad though, I got to go to a Disaster Area concert and I went deaf, so I wouldn't have been able to hear them anyway.
Maybe at the restaurant at the end of the universe. See you there.
Me too😔😢😥
Alex and that Gibson les paul are the song.....glad to see Alex playing all those Les pauls on the last tour.no one can get the sound out of a Les Paul like Alex can.
One of the sickest basslines of the galaxy followed with that stratospheric guitar riff and in top of it one of the greatest drummers to ever step on the face of the earth. Not to mention the pertinent lyrics.
I'm not sure, but I think this was the first Rush song that I ever heard. Before MTV came to my small town, the best way to watch music videos was to watch Friday Night Videos on ABC, Night Flight on USA, or Night Tracks on TBS. So sometime around 1984-5, these music video shows started playing the video for "Distant Early Warning" on a regular basis. I would've been 11 years old in 1984 and although I was more into bands like KISS, Motley Crue, and Iron Maiden, I would sit and watch this video because it interested me. Little did I know that by the end of 1987, I would become immersed in everything having to do with Rush. There was something about that little kid riding on that missile that made me wonder what the hell they were saying.
Saw on Snakes and Arrows tour, will be seeing this in the theater
@zdzdzd zdzdzd My fiancé was born completely deaf but has a cochlear implant and can hear music so much better. She’s hooked on Rush and can’t wait to experience this in a couple of weeks.
@@narcissismisadisease that's perfect Rush would be the first band id want to experience like that
Since I was 3 years old and I listened to “2112” this band has blown my mind ❤ I miss seeing good Live music so much! So glad I was able to catch this last tour ✌🏻 Thank you RUSH for decades of Kick Ass Music!
@heatherdawn13 Same! ❤️✌🏻
I am deeply in love with Rush's work, I am 24 years old and unfortunately it is very difficult to see them, especially in South America .. I will continue to enjoy them forever!
Alex, Geddy, Peart, thank you for the many great years of music!
my wife, a classically trained oboist at a major orchestra - me, a classical and contemporary guitarist - we met in college in the music department 36 years ago. Our favorite band of all time? Rush. How can we not? I mean - c'mon. Our car broke down on the way to the Hershey Park concert about 8 years ago. We called Enterprise (we'll pick you up) and they gave us a car. We got to our seats during the opening number "Subdivisions". RIP Neal. I have this on my wall "the measure of a life is a measure of love and respect, so hard to earn, so easily burned, in the fullness of time, a garden to nurture and protect". words to live by for all humans. side note: Geddy's bass is the bomb.
i seen many bands multiple times but rush is the only band i gotta say live is the best . . they are funny & i laugh as they rock my ass off. never disappointed not even a second... its amazing all that sound coming from 3 members.......
.
No words to says wow big they are I miss the RUSH and never forget all my life they are teach me every day I have Ben at 3 concerts rush in Porto Alegre,R30, snakes and arrows tour , drum teck event in NH I am glad it !!!!🥁🌈
A fan since '76, seen them many times. Words can't express the feelings i get from their music, They hold a special place in my heart. Giants of musical technique and execution thereof... RUSH!!
Such a nice treat. What an awesome surprise upload. Thank you to all evolved with Rush throughout their career and beyond. RUSH ON EH!!!
The 3 travelers wrote the soundtrack of my life.
Thank you.
Only us GOOD Rush fans will get that reference!
Men of Willowdale.
Absalom, Absalom...!
There is something so powerfully delivered by Geddy in those last two words... they’re actually haunting to listen to. Maybe it’s because of his Jewish lineage, and these words hark back to biblical times..., whatever, they’re piercing.
Neil ends this song, alluding to King David’s 3rd son (Bible) who had the charisma but not the character to rule or lead the people of Israel, and because of pride /greed rebelled against his father and ended up dying in war against him. When his father saw his dead son he grieved deeply and spoke those words twice, which echoes the theme of the song for mankind. which is mankind cultivated pride and greed to a point where we brought all life to hang in the balance, as we stood on the brink of nuclear destruction. Same story manifest on a global scale, thousands of years later.
Let the wise discern...
RIP master lyricist and poet of my generation , NEP.😪
That's what makes RUSH so great. Deep, thought provoking but never hokey or heavy handed.
Myself a 20 other RUSHophiles have purchased front row seats for the show and we all went to Midland Liquidators on Kingsway in Vancouver BC to get fitted for red coveralls to reenact our "Moving Pictures" reunion at GM Place for the R40 Tour show!
We're all so jacked to have another chance to see our musical heroes as a group!
Rush the best rock band in the Milky Way Galaxy that we know of......! Yes lots of great bands over the years and YES is one lmao🤪... None have had the longevity and creativity for 40 years! We as Rush fans are lucky we even got 21 Century RUSH at all after Peart's tragic losses.... but we did! For that I will always be greatful because those 3 albums kick ass and the extra tours like R30, Time Machine and R40 were fan-tastic!!!!
Yup! I maybe a Jazz, Jazz/Fusion cat but I'm Forever a Rush fan too!!! Thanks Alex ,Geddy and Neil for making teen life tolerable and keeping me from jumping off that rocky leg back in 1990.
Rush were my gateway drug into swing jazz. Which I'm enjoying VERY much. But, I find the more modern jazz stuff to be on levels of the progiest of progrock levels of pretentious. Yes you can play all them fancy notes. But, it ain't got no bounce Jackson.
If Rush never had anything else they had that bounce. And, I loved them for it too.
Always Rush!!! I remember you in Brazil 2002! My dreams comes true!! Nooooiiizzzxxx 🤘
Brazil brought Rush back to life. Thank you Brazil from Great Britain 🙏
@@davidhurford573 🤘🙌
I got the joy and privilege to watch them in concert only once in my life with a few friends. We were all in our early forties, but behaved like thirteen years old...choking in alcohol. Never got the chance to see them again...and never will. 🌹🌹🌹
I got my ticket and I will get to relive August 1, 2015 once more. Thank you Rush
Tim FromLA was there right with ya my man, best concert of my life
I can't wait. That was the experience of a lifetime. Incredible concert!
One of my favorite song ever. Rip Neal.
I’m so glad I got to go see this in the theater, even though I wish I could have seen them live
As a younger Rush fan, I was a latecomer to their music. With that being said, it's hard for me to cite other bands that had a similar impact on me as a musician. 2112 made me want to pursue music. I had only been playing bass for a few months, and I saw it as a hobby. 2112 changed all that. Thank you, Geddy, Alex, Neil, and John. Your influence on me is undeniable.
Rush is a classic and timeless band all time favorite 👍😆
Smart time management doing laundry whilst working too 😅😂
One of the few acts I've seen in concert more than once. Both times were unique experiences. Their music will never be duplicated. Amazing musicians. RUSH fan forever.
what an amazing film R40:Cinema Strangiato was! I hope they do more like this in the future as I really enjoy seeing Rush still.
RIP Neil. We have lost one of the Legends of the Music world. Your influence will live on forever in drummers and song writers.
One of their best jams of all time
Been a huge Rush fan for 25 years and I still love listening to them..I don't think I will ever get tired or bored of listening to them..true love is eternal I suppose..
August 21, 2019 I'll be 59 years young!! Must see this show!

Happy early birthday my Rush brother MrMetz2112. My 51st BD is the 17th.
One of most amazing bands of all times!!! I Love Rush!!!
Wow, feeling very emotional. Signals, Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows were a very important part of my life. Guys, as all your lifelong fans will say to you "thank you so much for your songs, musicianship and incredible mastery of your craft. God bless :-)
Same! Although there isn’t a bad Rush album. HYF is great but the early/mid 80s synth era albums are god tier.
I had a buddy in high school (in the early 90's) who like me was budding a musician, but he was really only into new wave, industrial music, and EDM. I was into guitar music, mostly metal, some classic rock, and some psychedelic music, but I also dug a lot of what he enjoyed as well.
One night we were at a party, and as it turned out we were both tripping on shrooms, as were a few other folks. A bunch of us were in the basement of the house, which had a big comfy den, spinning vinyl from the dad of the guy throwing the party's collection. To my amazement, he had a lot of Rush, and being that I loved Grace Under Pressure, I threw it on. My synth obsessed friend scoffed and protested, but about 30 or 40 seconds after DEW started, this look of amazement came over him and he just sat and took the whole rest of the album in silently.
Then he went OFF for nearly an hour about how detailed and intricate it was, and that he hadn't given enough considerstion to other types of music.
Long story short, he took up the drums about a month later and became one of the more sought after guys locally. Blew his mind lol
One their top songs. Geddy's use if the keyboards/base wonderfully fills the song with substance. Alex's guitar is as always uniquely spot on and Neil is, well, the Professor. The song's denouement from around the 3:50 mark crescendos and leaves the listener on seat's edge. Rush stand firmly atop the pantheon of great rock/prog groups.
I love that they sound the same on stage as in the studio! You can actually sing along to them! My absolute favorite band! Saw them at Pine Knob in Detroit for the Roll the Bones tour! The best show ever!
Thank you to the three of you for the past 40+ years of quality music and entertaining shows.
As a RnB guy, I had never heard of Rush unitl I saw this track on MTV and In loved watching Neil Pert Play. This track really shaped my mind that there were bands outside of RNB. I love Rush for that very reason. I will miss you Mr. Pert, you can leave this earth knowing the inpact you had on so many people and the standard you set for Rock!
*Peart
Great flashbacks to peak-Cold-war fifth grade! Best band ever, such a source of perpetual inspiration.
THANK YOU RUSH 🙏while walking through the trees, or down the high school halls, your music is the soundtrack to my life 💕 endless love from yes, a female Rush fan 🤟
#cinemastrangiatto
So much talent! All three are truly one in a billion! Geddy's bass playing and keyboard work on this song is so tight! Neil's on another planet of percussion! Least not forget Alex playing another balanced lead, rhythm, and everything in between! The energy from a Rush show goes to Eleven! Just three guys from Canada! Yes please!
Sublime! Thank you Rush!!!
RUSH is the highest energy band i have ever seen in my 58 years .
There’s a channel called StickHits which has some great remasters.
I cry everytime because I never saw Rush live despite countless opportunities. Moving Pictures was purchased new by my ten year old self in another time and place. One that I will never forget and always wish to return to.
Musically, they never lost a step over 40 years. Their musicianship is just insane. Geddy lost his ability to hit those high notes several years ago, but the music itself if simply impeccable.
@@Lazman2634Geddy sounded a lot better on their farewell tour than he did in the preceding 4-5 years, but it still wasn’t to the Vapor Trails/R30 standard, which was extremely good for his age at that time.
He got old, it’s happens. It’s tough to sing in the 5th octave in your 60s. It’s even tougher to do so for 30 songs a night, while simultaneously playing bass and triggering key samples with your feet. Mere mortals wouldn’t even attempt it.
This is the song that got me hooked on Rush 40 years ago when I was 10 years old but also Alex and geddy's playing wanted me to learn guitar even more even though I now play bass only
BEST BAND IN THE GALAXY!
Im loosing it....man
I love Rush since I was in junior high school in 1986
Thanks for uploading a clip! Looking forward to seeing the movie !

Top notch performers til the very end. Thank you Rush! 👍😎👍
I would so pay to see this movie again.... Most enjoyable evening~~~~
Love you guys!!! So many memories with your great song's!!!!
Being a part of these original shows, then seeing them again, all these years later; just makes one miss these guys so much more. The nostalgia of the love and magic they created leaves the heart and soul yearning for that time in our youth.
Got my tix last month, can’t wait!!
Hands down the best Rush song and Neil is the best drummer I've ever seen!! Just wish they were still touring, they were amazing!!
Keepin it fresh and clean with Rush at the laundromat!
What is the significance of the washing machines from the bands perspective? I have seen several Rush concert videos with washing machines in them. Please bear in mind I have never seen them live.
@@kmaher4980 That's a good question. I'm not really sure about that, myself...It does appear that they relate themselves between man & machine quite often. I know someone who's seen then around a dozen times in concert, though. Maybe I'll ask 😊
@@kmaher4980 Geddy doesn't use bass amplifiers anymore, he connects his bass straight to the mixing console. I may be wrong about something. The dryers are just to fill the empty space :D
@@kmaher4980 At the end of the show some lucky basterds made off with a free concert t-shirt that said this shirt came from Geddys' Dryer if I recall correctly.

Most Excellent, and August 21st is My Birthday !! Talk about fan Indulgence Thank you Geddy, Alex & Neil
How is this?.. I mean what?.. er... I can’t even with these guys. They were just too awesome 👏
I am so thankful to have been around when Rush started. I have enjoyed them since the 70's. It was a wonderful time to be alive and able to hear so much great music by so many great bands. I LOVE RUSH just like most people here. All the World is a stage is still my favorite. Great live album. I pray that Alex and Geddy get the desire to find a new drummer and go on tour. Hey.... Alex Van Halen is available and they are good friends. hmmmm. Yes, I know he's not Neil Peart, but there are some truly amazing drummers who could fit in very nicely: Bill Bruford, Chester Thompson, Alan White, Terry Bozio, Michael Walden, and Billy Cobham. All of whom have played progressive rock and capable of memorizing a lot of complex compositions. I would love to see Rush continue.
******RUSH****** Will always live on...
At 18 years old I bought the 8-track, (look it up kids) of "All the World's a Stage"...Geddy screaming, Alex with those Marshalls and those chorus and delay pedals, and Neil drumming like I'd never heard before. I do miss the band, but I was lucky....I had 40 years with them. Nothing last forever, folks.
Love rush since I was a teenager and always will I cannot believe there’s people that don’t like Them 🤷♂️
Same here, actually remember buying this cassette in my local mall back in the 80s
marc davidoff Oh yes the good old cassette days... Play that sucker until it got eaten in the machine... yes their song writing so inspiring and of course they’re very gifted musicians 👍
I discovered Rush one day when In the End was played on the radio, by this unheard of band called Rush, from an unheard of new album called Fly By Night....and the rest is history! 44 years ago.
John Smith Simply an awesome band and they’re just pretty cool humble guys too... it’s nice to see success never went to their heads🎼🎤🎸✌️ there’s a funny video on here of them having dinner at a restaurant that shows their sense of humour lol 😂

🌄 R U S H is no doubt one of the best bands to see live ! Every time and every venue I've seen them they come as close to the studio, and when they decide to improvise they're still innovative w/true unadulterated sparks of musical genius and we all know taste is subjective but like millions of fans I can't thank them enough for being part of the artistic tapestry of my life ! 🎵🤘Long live ROCK + RUSH ! !✌🏞🎶🎸🌟🌈⛥🏛🍻🍾😎✨

I’m so glad I got to grow up listening to these guy’s, and then to share the experience with my own two boy’s, live , on 3 separate occasions. Many thanks to Geddy , Alex and Neil.
Distant Early Warning ROCKS!
The most perfect sound and musicians I ever see. We ´ll all miss this band, the passion and the technic ata every song. We can say that RUSH is an inmortal band. I grow up with this three monsters of sound. I hope in my next life to hear them again!
Tickets booked. Going all alone since there are no rush fans in this modern generation. Im 90s born heavily influenced by my dad’s musical taste.
Btw watching in Montreal Quebec
Born in 2001 here. I don’t know anyone personally that’s the same age as me. Being 18 and having Rush as your favorite band is hard nowadays. 🥺
I'm going to a show in Southern California and taking my daughter, a Rush fan born in late 2006.
However unlikely it will be, should they tour I will pay any price for her and me to see them.
