@Jamel_AKA_Jamal I know someone bought you the DVD, "Beyond the Lighted Stage." You have to watch! It's outstanding! You'll learn a bunch about them and how awesome they are... Not only as musicians but people!!! Funny, as hell, too! 💜💫✌🏻🎵
It's fun watching you experience these songs for the first time. I think you will like these: Mystic Rhythms - great beat and lyrics Middletown Dreams - great lyrics In the Mood - cowbell In the End - 1:30 acoustic, then they play the same thing again electric
Rush is like a fine wine. They just get better with age. This was when they were all creeping up on 60. They had already [played a 3-hour set and this was the closer. Such incredible energy and talent for all those years. Glad we can all relive it through these reactions. Jamel, you are an honorary brother of the Rush family. Love how you're representing Rush so proudly!
I can smile now... remembering back to 1979, seniors in high school, was one of three guys who had to only take govt, english and a math class.... was able to leave school after four classes and i went to work at a grocery store and my buddies to a restaurant.. they enjoyed that job cause they got to drink as much beer as they wanted.. ( the mgr was one of the moms).. back then you could work the max 32 hrs a week when you were in high school and still afford a payment on a Camaro, we had Z28, basic model cost around 4600 bucks.. with kricket speakers and power graphic equalizer we had the bomb sound system .. yep, we would crank up the volume and drink beer and toast each other, because we were working man....
This is what happens when you have 3 of the greatest musicians ever do solos all at the same time. RUSH and Cleveland have a long history as it was the first place in the US to play their music. So they like to give back, and boy did they with this version. They went freaking mental.
Yeah, knowing that Donna Halper and Cleveland more or less gave us Rush, puts a little extra validation on the "best audience ever" from Geddy. Means a little more with that context.
@@Steve_Blackwood Also to this day, if you're playing in front of a Cleveland audience, go off: guitar solo, bass solo, drum solo, organ solo... we will cheer until we're hoarse.
The band even put out a video for Spirit of Radio in June that's an animation that pays tribute to Rockline/KLOS's Bob Coburn (RIP), KMET's Jim Ladd, and especially WMMS's Donna Halper.
Having seen this song played live a few times in my lifetime, This version shows just how versatile they are with tempo changes and making it all sound perfect. True greatness.
With the awesomeness of Neil on the drums you almost forget just how great Geddy and Alex are on their instruments. Then they kick it and you remember and go Oh my god they are good.
Such a brilliant band. Great show every time I got to see them. I'm still sad about Neil. They wrote the soundtrack of my youth. And of my middle age, for that matter.

@@k_spats love it. Also Hesher is the name of a nice indy movie starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rainn Wilson, and Natalie Portman with Levitt as as the titular metal fan.
I’ve been wandering the earth as a Rush fan since 1981 looking for a female Rush fan to share the journey with Now it’s too late .... saw them 54 times in concert including the last show 8/1/15 in LA
I was at this show with my dad. We live about an hour away from cleveland. He had saw the original tour back in the 80's so my mom got us tickets to go see them. They killed it as always! Glad i got to see them perform with Neil, definately a night i wont forget.
Cleveland has a special place in Rush history. A radio station in Cleveland was the first to play this song. It was the first song anyone heard from Rush and Cleveland went nuts for it and the rest is history. That’s why Geddy Lee says best audience ever at end of clip.
Civic Arena August 14, 1974 opening for Uriah Heep and Manfred Mann Earth Band. And also my hometown! In 80's and 90's I saw them many times at Civic Arena myself 😁!!
@@dess8287 A former co-worker of mine went to that show with her brother. She said Uriah Heep and Manfred Mann were a bit of a letdown after hearing Rush.
Don't think so. The images of Neil, Alex, & Ged are from the Hemispheres era in 1978. Probably a fan made poster. Neil's first live appearance with RUSH was indeed in the summer of 1974 in Pittsburgh...
@@thomasvarady1210 His first show was at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh on Aug. 14, 1974. Which is what the poster says. Regardless of the image, the date and location of Neil’s first show is correct on that poster.
Saw many shows at the Civic Arena but never Rush. Saw them twice at other venues in the 70s though, warming up for Kiss and then headlining with I forget.
Jamel, I get such a kick out of watching you experience Rush. As a 50-something, I found them in the late 70's and to watch you experiencing Rush reminds me of how I was when I found this legendary Band. Thanks!
Cleveland gave them their first break in the US market. I had cousins in Cleveland, told me to buy All The Worlds A Stage. Still my favorite live album ever.
I have the remastered copy of "All the world's a stage". Some of the songs on that album are better than the studio track! Anthem,Bytour and the Snowman cooks and Working man was tremendous!
Cleveland gave many bands their start. I'm fact, it's been said that if you're a hit in Cleveland, you're gonna make it big. I did an internship at WMMS back when they were THE rock station in the nation.
Watching young people smiling over the music we heard 40-50 yrs ago…is just friggin awesome, your smiles put smiles on us with more grey hairs…then we care to admit…thank you Jamel
Jamel, you are genuine human being. I love your reactions to RUSH. To truly appreciate this band, it requires a special degree of musical I.Q. and you have it, my man. Cheers from Toronto, the home of RUSH.
The Time Machine Tour was the first time I ever saw RUSH live. I saw their stop in Toronto. What an awesome experience! I did also see them on their Clockwork Angels tour too. Just a timeless band!
Alex had that white Gibson guitar since the earliest days of the band....RUSH....my favorite band for 40+ years....And here's a tip about the drumsticks....Neil used a promark 747 and in the old days he turned it around and used the butt end for more volume and power
Born and raised in Toronto, I saw Rush live the first time in 1974. I saw them 9 times live in total. If you weren't lucky enough to catch them live at least once, I feel for you. I really do. They were the best live band I've ever seen. Just three hosers from Toronto (and Neil from Port Dalhousie/St. Catharines - just down the QEW) who made it to the very top.
Another great performance from the same show time machine tour was LA VILLA STRANGIATO, same great energy as working man. The boys throwing gifts out to the crowd before the tune , more upbeat version than the best known one 30 years earlier. SPEAKING OF BEST INTRO'S EVER!!!, you can't go wrong with the INTRO VIDEO from the TIME MACHINE TOUR the video takes place in GERSHON'S HAUS OF SAUSAGE (nobody beats our sausage) Alex lifeson comedy GENIUS, an oscar winning performance in a huge fat suit, Brother Neil dressed as a Cop looking like Tom Hanks, and Geddy dressed as the dinner owner, the boys are trying to find the best version of spirit of radio. ENJOY A GREAT LAUGH, best wishes from the UK.
I first saw Rush in concert in 1978 in Frankfort Germany. I've seen 4 times all together. Never disappointed. I was mesmerized the first time I heard 2112 on a really good stereo - Oh. My. God! Thank you for what you do Jamel! Such great memories.
In previous tours, Working Man was often just part of a medley. This is the full version with a reggae opening and a LOT of embellishment in the solo for everyone. It was slick.
I was there that night. One of the Greatest live concerts I have ever seen. Not only does RUSH play spot on, even adding things in. Makes it even better.
Hands down I think this is one of the most EPIC performances I have ever seen from them. They just absolutely ripped this one. So fun to watch all 3 of them REALLY into it. Especially in the twilight of Rush. It was a GOOD performance.....it was MEMORABLE.
I love watching you as much as the band. I feel the same way about them as you do. It’s an experience watching them. Best live band I’ve ever seen hands down!
Yes Headlong Flight!! I say start with album version, but your idea is good too. One of their best songs, stands up against any of their classic stuff imo.
Jamel, I'm just tickled watching you discover and groove to all things RUSH. Truly masters at their craft. I've loved them for, oh about 40 years now.. damn.. Time Machine indeed, blink and it's gone. Peace.
Rush first debuted in the US on Cleveland radio station WMMS thanks to an astute young music director from Massachusetts, Donna Halper, and me being a resident was the beneficiary of that serendipity. The song was working man off of their titular album Rush
Rush concerts were always joyous, they loved doing it and they were SO good they could just crack on and have fun! Always came out from a Rush gig with a huge smile on my face, which is absolutely as it should always be!!

Greeting from London, Ont. Canada Jamel/Jamal - love your channel!
I have been a Rush fan for 45 years, and I stand as amazed today as I did when I heard them for the first time. Always in the back of my mind is how can so much music come from just 3 people?
Makes me proud to be a Clevelander and a Rush fan. I remember when WMMS (“weed makes me smile”) 101 FM The Buzzard started playing their tracks and from there they catapulted to international success. I was a Rush geek growing up and saw them in 1986. Great reaction Jamal.
a guitar solo, bass solo, and minor drum solo all in the same song at the same time and they make it come back to work. yeah....only RUSH!. seeing them live was and playing this song on the Time Machine Tour was crazy amazing. Keep it up man. doing great
Yesssssss. Rush are back. I'm jealous of your Rush gear, that t-shirt is fantastic. You just made my day... 2 Rush reactions. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
I saw this with my brother and his best friend at the Manchester Arena (the same place 22 people were murdered by a bomber in 2017). They played Moving Pictures end to end and then had fun playing with most of their other music. Rush were always their best live.
Cleveland was first to give them radio air play. Rush were a bit outside the mainstream at the time. This performance was absolutely stellar. I’d like to see some 20yr olds with that kind of skill and endurance. These three awesome dudes put out a hell of a body of work. They experimented and adapted through the eras, survived through tragedy and retired still at the top of their game. Thank you Jamal for your reaction. I was right with you smiling ear to ear. Rush does that. They leave you in a better place.
Few bands play(ed) 3 hour concerts. Rush did! And they put as much energy in the closing song as they did in all the others the hours before. Phenomenal band!
Geddy, Alex, and Neil are definitely in the top 10, as being one of the most phenomenal bassist, guitarist, and percussionist ever to play...if not the top 5!
Thanks Bill Cree for reminding me of seeing rush at the Picadilly Tube in Toronto many many moons ago. The LSD trip I was on certainly enhanced the experience. ✌
Rush has Cleveland to thank for the start of their success. A rock station back in 1974 played Working Man and listeners kept calling in asking about the band. Some thought it was Led Zeppelin.

Middletown Dreams - great lyrics
In the Mood - cowbell
In the End - 1:30 acoustic, then they play the same thing again electric
got mine yesterday!
Their documentary is so good! You should see it, my respect level for them doubled🌸
Mr. Lifeson, probably the most underrated guitarist of all time. 3 absolute masters at their crafts.
Rush is like a fine wine. They just get better with age. This was when they were all creeping up on 60. They had already [played a 3-hour set and this was the closer. Such incredible energy and talent for all those years. Glad we can all relive it through these reactions. Jamel, you are an honorary brother of the Rush family. Love how you're representing Rush so proudly!
this comment sums up my feelings to Jamel's reaction & Rush performance perfectly so I will just second it
These three men are masters of their instruments. Just amazing so much talent packed into 3 bodies, all on one stage.
As a Canadian , we gave the world the best trio musicians ever . 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Triumph, FM, Tea Party, Stampeders, Klaatu, Anvil, Sharon, Lois and Bram (sorry couldn't resist.) etc. Hmmm you could be right.
That you did
Best thing outta Canadia. Triumph is second. Take off ehhh
Don't forget Triumph!
Gotta give Cleveland fans credit, they know good music when they hear it... First place in the US to grasp the magic of Rush.
No denying that, they picked a good one
Thanks to Wmms. Home of the thundering buzzard. I was there. My favorite band.
True. Detroit, as well.

Three guy's! Listen to that crowd. Outstanding!
Goosebumps all over my body still. Great alternate version at the beginning. R.I.P. Neil Peart. The Professor. Peace & Love.
This song was played on a Cleveland radio station and no one knew who they were. The rest is history.
@@williambash8149 yep - home of the buzzard
Yeah, knowing that Donna Halper and Cleveland more or less gave us Rush, puts a little extra validation on the "best audience ever" from Geddy. Means a little more with that context.

In my book, this is Rush most epic performance ever captured on video.🔥💯
Having seen this song played live a few times in my lifetime, This version shows just how versatile they are with tempo changes and making it all sound perfect. True greatness.
I was lucky enough to be 2nd row during one of shows for that one! The bass moved my hair.
With the awesomeness of Neil on the drums you almost forget just how great Geddy and Alex are on their instruments.
Then they kick it and you remember and go Oh my god they are good.
Flat out the best three man progressive-rock band ever. This called going out on high note. We shan't see their like again, I fear.
Such a brilliant band. Great show every time I got to see them. I'm still sad about Neil. They wrote the soundtrack of my youth. And of my middle age, for that matter.

*RUSH RULES*
💥THE GIRL WHO LISTENED TO RUSH💥
From the back of the stadium
She’s easy to see
Standing up at the stage
In her Starman tee
From Anthem to Limelight
To YYZ
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
And all of the rockers
And all of the heshers
Well they dreamed of the day
That they might get her
And drive her away
In a Red Barchetta
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
Philosophers and ploughmen
They can’t resist her call
They cannot choose
Not to decide
So they've got no choice at all
They've gotta love her
No she doesn’t say "Pert"
And she doesn’t say "Part"
Yeah, she knows it’s "Neil Peert"
‘Cause he’s close to her heart
Say a prayer for John Rutsey
He was there at the start
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
Philosophers and ploughmen
They can’t resist her call
They cannot choose
Not to decide
So they've got no choice at all
They've gotta love her
Why don’t girls ever listen to Rush?
But she listened to Rush!
The blacksmith and the artist
They can’t resist her call
You cannot choose
Not to decide
So you’ve got no choice at all
No you’ve got no choice at all
You’ve gotta love her

I live in Cleveland and was at this show with my son. It was as it seems.
so three hours of pure effort from these guys? I can’t imagine any band giving that much energy for three hours ,

YES.Thank you brother. i am so glad you are a rush fan.Thank you
This was the very first Rush song I heard way back in the day. I was hooked instantly. It is so amazing the depth of sound these three put out!
This is the absolute best version of this song. 100%. 6:45....I get goosebumps EVERY time I see/listen to this version. EVERY time.
The Rush gifts are fantastic 😍👍🏻👌🏻
Listening to Peart navigate and lead that solo section is amazing. What a trio of musicians.
Seen this a hundred times. Never gets old.
I absolutely love how much fun you are having with this!!! Keep good music alive!
It was originally straight Rock, the regae here was just them having a bit of fun.
what a typical Canadian response
Canadians have MORE funk than Americans
"It seems to me. I could live my life a lot better than I think I am." This is truth.
God damn! That was excellent! I saw RUSH live nearly 40 years ago and was blown away. They stayed great. RIP Neil.
It’s sad that we will never see this again!
The "Hold my beer and watch this" band of Rock... Aka, Rush, the greatest of all time
”Hold my beer, eh?” Fixed that for ya
Had the pleasure to see Rush, back in 1979, 2112 Tour! Great concert!
The Time Machine Tour was the first time I ever saw RUSH live. I saw their stop in Toronto. What an awesome experience! I did also see them on their Clockwork Angels tour too. Just a timeless band!

I saw Rush and Aerosmith 1976 Evansville Indiana. My first concert at 17 years old. You can imagine my excitement.
Thankful that I got to see these guys several times over the years. Wish that you could have seen them live as well because the shows were top notch.
I just knew you'd love this, it's a RUSH DAY!!!!!! Just like every day, best band ever

I was there that night. One of the Greatest live concerts I have ever seen. Not only does RUSH play spot on, even adding things in. Makes it even better.
3 of the most amazing , and humble musicians ever.
The first time I heard Rush was their song "Subdivisions". And ever since I heard that song and their other ones I ended up being a Rush fan for life!
Just amazing. All of them at the top of their game. Alex reaching for the stars and beyond.
Hands down I think this is one of the most EPIC performances I have ever seen from them. They just absolutely ripped this one. So fun to watch all 3 of them REALLY into it. Especially in the twilight of Rush. It was a GOOD performance.....it was MEMORABLE.
I love watching you as much as the band. I feel the same way about them as you do. It’s an experience watching them. Best live band I’ve ever seen hands down!
Absolutely love this live version. Incredible.
Was blessed to have seen them several times live in the 70s. They always put on an incredible show. Love this
Rush was amazing in the studio... and even better live.
So much sound for 3 chumps from Canada!
Long live RUSH!!
Absolutely amazing this video.
Miss this super Power Trio so much
Rest in power Neil
I love watching you react to Rush, please do Headlong Flight from the Clockwork Angels tour, it’s mind blowing.
Yes!!

I saw this with my brother and his best friend at the Manchester Arena (the same place 22 people were murdered by a bomber in 2017). They played Moving Pictures end to end and then had fun playing with most of their other music. Rush were always their best live.
Cleveland was first to give them radio air play. Rush were a bit outside the mainstream at the time.
This performance was absolutely stellar. I’d like to see some 20yr olds with that kind of skill and endurance. These three awesome dudes put out a hell of a body of work. They experimented and adapted through the eras, survived through tragedy and retired still at the top of their game. Thank you Jamal for your reaction. I was right with you smiling ear to ear. Rush does that. They leave you in a better place.
Few bands play(ed) 3 hour concerts. Rush did! And they put as much energy in the closing song as they did in all the others the hours before. Phenomenal band!
Caught this tour in Charlotte, NC. Was epic... of course. Introduced my daughters to Rush there.
Geddy, Alex, and Neil are definitely in the top 10, as being one of the most phenomenal bassist, guitarist, and percussionist ever to play...if not the top 5!
Only Guitarist I know that can rise up above this talented rhythm section!!! III G.O.A.T’s 🐐
What a RUSH!! Yeah - to a great great band, so talented ♥️🎶
I’m 52 and it’s hard to take not ever seeing them again......R.I.P. Mr. Peart
Thanks Bill Cree for reminding me of seeing rush at the Picadilly Tube in Toronto many many moons ago. The LSD trip I was on certainly enhanced the experience. ✌
Rush has Cleveland to thank for the start of their success. A rock station back in 1974 played Working Man and listeners kept calling in asking about the band. Some thought it was Led Zeppelin.
Thanks for all the smiles Jamel! Even if you don't do a reaction to this make sure you watch it! RUSH Inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame... @
Rush being my all time ever favorite band, and being from Ohio, this one gets two big thumbs up from me!
