@Joe Kinchicken What are you talking about? Limelight is about fame, Subdivisions is about High school Subdivisions (duh). Virtuality is about the internet. Every song on Clockwork Angels is part of a concept album. Closer to the Heart I can only assume is about doing what you love. Tom Sawyer speaks for itself. Nobody's Hero is about people who are never recognized for their brave actions while movie stars are. Just think a little bit.
@Joe Kinchicken LOL, wow for you to say Rush doesn't perform good music is just ridiculous. Thanks for stopping by &trying to school a bunch of no nothings a what real rock n roll is.. -Ignorance is bliss!
A lot of people throw around the words "greatest of all time" when people die but in this case we truly did lose the best ever. Thank you so much Mr. Peart! Your lyrics and music will live forever
Steve Parr...... what about Shania, sorry, Eileen? If she could play this solo surely that would be perfection, visually and aurally....... could we fit Bryan in anywhere?
2:03 The line in the song is "can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend" when geddy finishes the line he looks at Alex and he replies with "who me?"
This is a chemistry and a friendship no other band has ever had. Thats why I love those guys. 40 years of amazing prog and they were able to remain best friends. Fantastic.
In 1989, my best friend, a hard core RUSH fan, took me to see them live in Oklahoma City. I instantly went from casual listener to fan. Afterwards, I insisted (against his wishes) that we follow the band to their hotel to meet them. We did and while Geddy Lee was politely signing my friends tour book I saw Neil Peart leap out of the limo and literally sprint past all the fans gathered by the front door. He was gone in a flash to calls of his name. I thought to myself at the time "What a jerk". Years passed and I ended up working as a dj at a classic rock radio station. For the first time in my life I actually listened to the lyrics of Limelight and recalled my friend telling me that Neil was the lyricist. It suddenly clicked in my mind. He wasn't a jerk at all. He was living his words. "I have no heart to lie. I can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend." Respect. Rest in peace Neil. The best drummer ever.

He had to drop a deuce, quit reading bs into it Mr. DJ.
i also believe he's a god and maybe i used the wrong word, he might not be underrated but unknown instead, because when people talk about the greatest guitarists, they often mention Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eddy Van Halen, David Gilmour, Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and rarely do they mention Alex Lifeson. Don't get me wrong, i think he's one of the best, i'm also a guitar player, but since he's in a band with probably the best bassist and drummer, i feel like he's easily forgotten by some people
Jérémie Campeau-Poirier Anton putting the word Keith Richard and greatest guitarists together are just ignorant so don't care for their opinions. These 3 guys here as true maestros of their instruments in the rock world
Jérémie Campeau-Poirier I agree. The other two get way more recognition...maybe because there are fewer ‘true’ bass players and Neil is so darn listenable and (I believe) one of the very best for contributing such busy (and difficult) playing yet it fits in so perfectly with their music. He does seem to be the ‘showpiece’ of their music and for sure their shows.
Still processing the death of my mother and Neil in the same week. The first concert I ever went to was Rush on their Hemispheres Tour in 1978 Seattle. Thank You Mom and Aunt Jean for taking me to my first concert. If there is an afterlife, I hope you meet Neil. Godspeed Mom. Listening to Rush now will forever have a new meaning for me.
I am from the 20th century and RUSH played brilliantly live. The Moving Pictures album and Limelight were absolutely brilliant songs from the early 1980's. Folk in the 21st century will never hear anything like it. Maybe in the 23rd century audiences will hear such brilliant all round music. Living on a lighted stage approaches the unreal for those who think and feel. Rush. Brilliant lyrics from the 20th century. Haha.
You can’t really crown a stand alone #1 band of all time but there’s some that are just unbelievable talent and Rush is one of those bands at the 1 spot.
I've been playing the drums since 1960. I have the upmost respect for Neal Peart's drumming skills. Oh...before I forget, I been a Rush fan for God Only Knows How Long. I hope they are around for another 10-to-20 more years.
I can listen to that guitar solo on repeat all day, every day. I love it. So emotional and beautiful. A message of sadness of loneliness; yet with a glimmer of hope, somewhere deep within.
Alex with miles of smiles playing the LP with the FRose and nailing that solo...Neil and Geddy laying down the groove and melody and the audience air drumming, air guitar and singing along. Great performance.
So so wish I got to see this band perform in concert..Makes me sad realizing I'll never get to see one, if not the best drummers to ever perform Rock n Roll... Rest In Peace Neil Peart!
RIP Neil Peart. Your legacy will live on forever and although you're now gone. Your music will continue to inspire millions around the world for generations to come.
You don't even have to particularly be from this kind of music generation or like this music at all, you have to be blown away by the amount of fucking talent here... it's amazing
No drummer in rock history as been air drummed more then Neil Peart. You don't have to be a drummer or a musician for that matter to be influenced by this man, who has captivated and inspired more people on this rock we spin on then any other person in music history. He is a living legend who walks with transparency and humility. Thank you Neil for everything you have contributed to this human race. I for one have been inspired and change because of it
I saw some ladies rockin in that audience. See, some women DO like Rush! RIP Mr. Peart. Theres only a musician like Neil Peart every few decades. Big respect 🍁
I remember the first time I heard RUSH was when WMMS 101 (Cleveland Radio Station) first aired Working Man. My buddy and I was blown away. We first thought it was a new Zeppelin song but really listening to it we knew it was not. We heard the name Rush and went out and bought the album. MAN!!!! What a mind blower this album was. Loved it!! Hard Rocking but yet had good rhythms and just overall kicked ass. Still love it to this day including “Find My Way Home.” Fly by Night being their next album, which featured Neil Peart. (Note: N. Peart replaced John Rutsey due to medical issues prior to the FBN release.) Featuring the drumming that Neil Peart contributed to the sound of RUSH was F’kn unbelievable. So much going on it was hard to grasp. Then I had the opportunity to see them live at what used to be the Cleveland Coliseum (now gone away). I was so blown away that three (3) guys could put out such sound, great musicians, and just wonderful music. I became a RUSH fan from that point on and even to this day. RUSH has been under-estimated / recognized for their music, talent for years. Finally getting into the Rock-n-Roll HOF. GEE! Ya Think!!!! Each one of the band members of RUSH should be recognized as TOP-OF-THE-LINE Musicians. You can’t beat that talent. Really! Set back and really watch Alex Lifeson play his guitar(s). J.C. that guy is just frk’ing out of bounds. Getty Lee’s base work is far surpassed any that I have ever seen. And I have been to many concerts in my day. Of course, “Neil Peart.” The BEST ever percussionist that has hit the live stage. Of the many 35 RUSH concerts I have attended, I am very thankful that I was able to see these guys play. If anyone has never seen there live shows (or REALLY listen to their music), they have missed out. My heart dropped when Neil Peart passed away. I just felt so empty like I just lost my best friend (which unfortunate I did in 2006). I wish the best for Alex and Getty and hope at some point we can here some music from them in the future. Thank you, Alex, Getty, and Neil, for bringing us such great music over the many decades. Truly will be missed……
Still to this day..I remember listening to this album..up to that point I had never heard anything that was so technical..it was like it was yesterday..my dad banging on my door..telling me to TURN IT DOWN.. he meant well..but it didn’t work..🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
+Golradir999 Absolutely pissed these guys are not performing for the Super Bowl Halftime. They are better than Coldplay IMO and unlike many artists that performed the super bowl, RUSH did it all themselves(playing instruments, writing, singing, working their asses off)!
I've always been completely transfixed with the utter complexity of Rush's music. From time signature to melodic variation to key changes, they are mind-blowingly complicated. How does one attempt to compare their work with the complete shit that comes from the radio now? As I watch video from this concert I am amazed that Getty continues to sing the lyrics of dozens of songs. Besides the music taking wild turns around every corner, he has to remember all the words. Ah, but then I caught a glimpse of the teleprompter on stage in front of him. Thank god. He almost seems human now....almost.
One of the only singers who can still hit most of the high notes! All amazing trio, RIP Neil Peart...never was there a better drummer and lyricist, never will there ever be a better drummer and lyricist!
Tears are flowing as I watch this band these guys are like so many of ours stars u wish they could live to be in their 90s.Peace to Alex & Getty. May God continues his blessings of Neil and his family
sonically this is far and away my favorite rush song!!! this along with Tom Sawyer sucked me right into their orbit.... I actually was a huge fan for a long time and went back and discovered their earlier music and loved the complexity of it, time and timbre changes and the unruly structure of many of their songs... They did have to catch me ear first... This was the album that did it....
The thing about the solo is that it may not be technically virtuostic but its just perfect. After so many years of listening to " Rush" its impossible to imagine how they would sound if lets say Alex were to be replaced by some other guy. Its his and their trademark sound. Well its just my opinion. In a nutshell Alex is just perfect for Rush and his ambience , chaotic at times and melodic solo is probably what I would prefer listening to then what we call "GUITAR MASTUBATORY" . It moves the mind and soul everytime then to be always thinking what is he playing . My opinion.
I was late to the Rush party. Didn’t get into then until my 30’s. One of the greatest bands ever with possibly the greatest rock drummer ever. Rest in Paradise Neil. I hope you’re jamming with Bonzo.
gotta love rush...three amazing musicians...each instrument is being heared well..each instrument is an integral part and if you take one out its not the same song..that my idea of a perfect band
Only when you learn to play this song do you realise how complex it is. I mean you start with a ruff that's got a similarity to a Bonham triplet and then straight into 7/4, bars starting with a snare and a crash etc. It's fucking amazing because listening to it, you are easily fooled into thinking it's a 4/4 song. Man I love Neil Peart's drumming so much, it just blows your mind and makes you need to learn what the hell he was doing. Most grooves you can play without thinking at all, but when you're playing Rush songs you can't ever stop thinking, it's awesome!
Gracias Rush por alegrarnos la vida, el corazón y el alma con tantas hermosas canciones y Limeligth es una obra de arte que me hace tan feliz escucharla siempre.........
Rip to one of the greatest drummers to ever walk this Earth
I'm running the gauntlet of Rush videos after hearing that news

Ryan M. - 💯
True genius and a great artist!
In my lifetime i doubt there will be another drummer of his caliber...he is in a class of his own..
Well said.....
All-time is a long time. Jesus Christ is all that matters in the end
You know you have one of the greatest drummers ever when the crowd is playing air drums.
I saw Rush 16 times in my life and proud of it .
You should be. I'm jealous!
Only 3 times for me but they were the best concerts in my life😎
none for Me :(
Ken Able For real ??
I lost count after 30. I've seen them 8 times just since 2002!
Canada's greatest contribution to the world. thanks.
Steve Parr...... what about Shania, sorry, Eileen?
If she could play this solo surely that would be perfection, visually and aurally....... could we fit Bryan in anywhere?
Hockey?
Still doesn't make up for Bieber....
Rush, hockey and Timbitts
Rush is badass, but Poutine takes the cake
In every Rush video, Alex always looks like he's having a lot of fun. He truly loves his job.
A great guitarist.. but his mannerisms on stage sometimes looks very silly
Geddy Lee : Jeans and T-shirt
Neil Peart: Jeans and T-shirt
Alex Lifeson: 3-piece suit
Alex did stand out a bit there!!! LOL
Good eye. I was thinking the same. He seemed a bit out of place there.
class act so fortunate to have spent 40 years with RUSH thank you GOD
When I was in the Navy and you did not know the uniform of the day, it was always better to dress up than dress down to avoid being out of regs. 😆
Steven Hensley ya but when you’re part of the Triad you come into work however you want, at least a lot of mine would 😂😂😂
the synchronized movement of the people smashing an air cymbal at 1:08 really puts wide smile to my face, while banging my head.. in synchronicity. :)
An Air Cymbal Orgy!
The dude to the right kinda reminds me of phil anselmo of pantera
Really felt that
LoL!, Guilty! 👋🏻🥁
RUSH... limelight.. I'm a one man band on youtube.
RIP Neil Peart, one of the greatest drummers ever
Simple clothes, great talent... Fantastic songs... Marvelous performances... LEGENDS!!!
Greatness at all levels!!!remember this on radio 36 yrs ago...stupendous brilliance can only come from Rush...
2:03 The line in the song is "can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend" when geddy finishes the line he looks at Alex and he replies with "who me?"
lifeson is the best!
Dylan Buck A
Alex is hilarious lol

not a mosh pit....but an air drummer pit! now that's Canadian!
dudefrombarrie Australian actually. But still good point.
Game Review this concert was in Cleveland
Game Review ayyy I’m Australian 😃
The difference between seeing an intelligent band vs Nickelback butt rock
Fucking nerds...... Id love to be there with them, who am i kidding lmao
I'm not a drummer by any means, but when Neil Peart's behind it, no matter how simple it sounds I assure you it's not! A true master of his craft.
Its true. Drumming on progressive rock is very not easy. Neil is the master drummer :)
Neil Peart - Your favorite drummer's favorite drummer.
That solo is so simple, yet so moving that it doesn't have to be complex to work. It's just so well written
Play a million notes and reach one heart. But play the right one note, and reach a million hearts.
and superbly executed.
You can just feel the energy between band members. They love each other.
RIP Neil Peart...The Legend Has Left the Building :(
Let's be honest, this is the best rock band ever.
Queen comes to mind
@@kevinstarski1598 Van Halen comes more to mind, but this is as close as I can imagine.
Metallica
certainly as a three piece
i dont see david gilmour, roger waters, nick mason, and richard wright anywhere????
Alex Lifeson is so underrated... of course he's overshadowed by Neil Pearth and Geddy Lee, but this song has an awesome solo and a great riff!
Jérémie Campeau-Poirier Underrated by who? Every guitar player, myself included, views him as a god.
i also believe he's a god and maybe i used the wrong word, he might not be underrated but unknown instead, because when people talk about the greatest guitarists, they often mention Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eddy Van Halen, David Gilmour, Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and rarely do they mention Alex Lifeson.

Sadly, this is the last full live recording of Limelight. But, it's also one of the best ever.
BTW this is the best rush song imo
Definitely
for me it’s the Spirit of Radio but this is a close, close, close second.
I wish they wouldn't play that circus noise through it.
@@robertheintz8017 it’s all about the circus, the rat race.
I can't even choose

Exit the warrior....thank you Mr. Peart for the tunes.
Rest In Peace to the greatest drummer to ever do it
I can listen to that guitar solo on repeat all day, every day. I love it. So emotional and beautiful. A message of sadness of loneliness; yet with a glimmer of hope, somewhere deep within.
It’s refreshing to see Alex still jamming out & looking like he’s having a good time on stage. Dude knows he has the greatest gig on earth. 🎸
there will never be a bad like Rush ever again. They were all the best.
Alex with miles of smiles playing the LP with the FRose and nailing that solo...Neil and Geddy laying down the groove and melody and the audience air drumming, air guitar and singing along. Great performance.
So so wish I got to see this band perform in concert..Makes me sad realizing I'll never get to see one, if not the best drummers to ever perform Rock n Roll... Rest In Peace Neil Peart!
Three dudes from Ontario entertained millions across the world for decades. Thank you, Rush.
RIP Neil Peart. Your legacy will live on forever and although you're now gone. Your music will continue to inspire millions around the world for generations to come.
I've said it before - these three guys produced an amazingly rich sound that rivals any band with even more members. Truly awesome! R.I.P. Neil.
The thing about Neil is that he actually does need all those drums
edit: thanks for the likes
And he knows how to use them!
RIP Neil Peart
One of the most awesome things I have ever read in my life 💪❤
FACT !
He really does.....RIP!
Best drummer in the history of music!
The Solo crescendo is, without a doubt, a divine inspiration. This band made the soundtrack of my life.
Valls Daniel. Cool to hear someone say that. After all these years and countless times listening, it still sends shivers down my spine.
You don't even have to particularly be from this kind of music generation or like this music at all, you have to be blown away by the amount of fucking talent here... it's amazing

@Shallex : obvious that it was a joke? Or obvious that it was too cerebral? O.o
I can't help but watch these vids with a twinge of heartache. With Neil's passing, Rush is really and truly over.
RIP to one of the most talented musicans of rock. Fantastic drummer who's lyrics really were hit the soul. Thank you Neil!
I got to see rush live at DTE back in 2013. What a great show! An absolute treat
Neil Peart, was one of the hardest working people in rock. RIP

That’s great! I imagine his parents told him the very same thing when he was that age.
one of the greatest concerts i ever attended they were always true to themselves and never sold out
Alex Lifeson is one of the few guitarists that is able to perfectly recreate the studio solo in a live performance.
Mr Peart will always be closer to the heart.... of all Rush and Rock and Roll fans
Tom Hanks on drums is just amazing!!
Егор Кузнецов and Harrison Ford play guitar
I thought it was Kevin Spacey
Guys stop just naming people with big noses
And Steve Martin on guitar
Keifer Sutherland on guitar
Love when the audience air drums to Neil's cymbal strikes at 1:08. I remember doing that myself the 4 x I saw RUSH.
As long as humans exist, this may never be approached again.
Thank you Neil for all great music.Condolences to your family and to Alex and Geddy. RIP to great drummer from Serbia.
1:08 gets me every time ahahaha
+Golradir999 Absolutely pissed these guys are not performing for the Super Bowl Halftime. They are better than Coldplay IMO and unlike many artists that performed the super bowl, RUSH did it all themselves(playing instruments, writing, singing, working their asses off)!

Greatest Power Trio of all time
One of the only singers who can still hit most of the high notes! All amazing trio, RIP Neil Peart...never was there a better drummer and lyricist, never will there ever be a better drummer and lyricist!
Alex Lifeson looks cool in his 3 piece suit. Looks like a businessman/ rocker.
+Andre Nathaniel Yeah like beethoven
He looks great and plays great.
each one a master of their craft and devine providence brought them together for our listening pleasure,thanks for the memories RUSH
Best 3 man band EVER!
Tears are flowing as I watch this band these guys are like so many of ours stars u wish they could live to be in their 90s.Peace to Alex & Getty. May God continues his blessings of Neil and his family
Best band of all time.
Yes, I agree with youu
Agreed!
Deth Power thought the same
ervin garcia debatable
Lol ok. Evidently you don’t listen to much music haha
Wow! The energy! Look at what you guys did. Makes my heart smile. He's gone but never forgotten.
Harrison Ford on the guitar
and Tom Hanks on drums
lol
Kanisorn Boonyamin and Sean Penn singing
I don't care.
Nudesoftheworld Eroticdrawings ??
Amazing performance ! As usual Alex Lifeson`s guitar work is spot on.
A stadium full of drummers and a few unlucky girlfriends...
What are you talking about dude?! Those are all dudes! 😂😂
lolololol
Haha chick Rush fan here! There are some women out there that like Rush
Since when can drummers get girlfriends?
More women should like rush, I’m obsessed. Let’s face it, rock n roll isn’t all about who’s got the looks

well said..same if you took out geddy...or if geddy just sang and they find a new bassist..nope
RIP Neil! You brought joy to our ears and souls with thought provoking lyrics and unbelievable rhythms.
Estos señores Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee y Neil Peart son unos verdaderos artistas, son la REATA lml ojalá y vengan de nuevo a México ♥
RUSH... I'm a one man band on youtube.
They all make there incredible musicianship appear effortless.
The most underrated guitarist of all time.
GOD this is one of those songs that just INSTANTLY makes you happy.
1:07 Oh, so I'm not the only one who air-drums along?! : D
Yoo
I saw Rush on the Snakes and Arrows Tour in 2008. Absolutely amazing. They had such a huge sound for a 4 piece! God rest your soul Neil Peart.
one does not simply walk down the street normally listening to this song
I still love watching these vids. But now there's a bit of unavoidable heartache. Because we'll never see these guys live again.
He is singing live.. and is over 60 years old. This is how he sounds. Like it or not.
still sounds pretty damn good to me
he was actually 57 when this was recorded. He had a cold that night which put a strain on his voice.
For truly intellectual lyrics and intellectual musicianship, no band will ever compare to Rush. Full stop. In that category they cannot be surpassed.
Just watched zepplin from 1970 and now rush wow
I was late to the Rush party. Didn’t get into then until my 30’s. One of the greatest bands ever with possibly the greatest rock drummer ever. Rest in Paradise Neil. I hope you’re jamming with Bonzo.
Yes and arguably the greatest Rock bassist ever in Geddy and for sure a top 10 rock guitarist in Alex. All three were sensational at their craft.
I don't profess any religion, but if I did it would be Rush.
Holy words, my friend! What a show!! Never seen so much proficiency, talent and enjoyment in a band!
Its like a Freewill. Its easy
No professing any religion, is a religion in itself...
Rush is the holy trinity.
MAGISTER MILITUM umm go look up the definition of religion buddy
i remember when i was little my dad would blast this song in the bonus room and years later i finally get the name of this song
I CAN pretend the stranger is my long awaited friend!

Only when you learn to play this song do you realise how complex it is. I mean you start with a ruff that's got a similarity to a Bonham triplet and then straight into 7/4, bars starting with a snare and a crash etc. It's fucking amazing because listening to it, you are easily fooled into thinking it's a 4/4 song. Man I love Neil Peart's drumming so much, it just blows your mind and makes you need to learn what the hell he was doing. Most grooves you can play without thinking at all, but when you're playing Rush songs you can't ever stop thinking, it's awesome!
1:07 the perfect unison air-drummers😂😂😂😂😂😂
Those big boys rock!!!!Q
Gracias Rush por alegrarnos la vida, el corazón y el alma con tantas hermosas canciones y Limeligth es una obra de arte que me hace tan feliz escucharla siempre.........
RUSH THE BEST
Very nice!!! After all the years since the early 80's I still love it as much as the first time I heard it!!!!
