Absolutely! My first rock concert was Rush’s ‘Moving Pictures’ tour. My cousin took me when I was just 13 years old. I saw Rush every tour to follow. This video reminds us all how truly great they were! Sorely missed!😔🥁🎹🎤🎸🎶
Admit it, true RUSH fans. This jam is so close to The Top of all their jams. It may be the actual top. And yes, it's easy for normal folks to "hate" RUSH; but for those who know, they simply know. "Science, like nature." What a moment in time, never to be repeated. Long live Gen X.
When I turned 18, my sister gave me a copy of Permanent Waves as a birthday gift. After hearing 'Natural Science' for the first time, I was utterly gobsmacked by its power, majesty and deep meaning. The pictures that Neil's lyrics painted in my mind were simply stunning, too. 'Natural Science' has always been among my most favourite Rush songs.
Geddy's voice was truly amazing during this tour. Neil wrote about it in one of his books too. The whole crew praised Geddy because he nailed it every evening. Neil wrote that they all were so proud of themselves, because they reached their peak as musicians. I think I know what he was talking about.🙂👌
Indeed This tour had them all hitting on their best performances. Vocals after this tour were very wobbly. Took in two shows on this tour - Once in a Ice Hockey Arena in Ottawa as well as the Harbourfront in Toronto. Saw them first for Signals tour (Had backstage pass and sat on their road cases - beaming the whole time.
That's interesting! His voice had dropped noticeably by this point but IMO the vocals in this show were overall better than those on R30 and Rio shows regardless. He started the Time Machine tour on fire but things got pretty dodgy after that, if I recall correctly. Still, incredible that he could do it at all, let alone with those physically demanding bass lines, keyboards, MIDI triggering, etc... one of a kind musician, and one of my heroes! Geddy forever! :D
@@fgs2732 I also think it's Peart's best album. He changes the groove so many times on Natural Science and in my mind, it's his cleanest performance. Of course, he is very precise on everything he plays...lol. it
To me this is the best song from the Permanent Waves album. Alex's guitar and Geddy's voice just draws you in at the first part, then they rock out with one of the hardest time signatures to count after the first bridge. A brilliant and mesmerizing song all around.
They were only disrespected by some stupid critics. Fortunately critics realized how wrong they were, when bands and musicians started to cite Rush as an influence in the 90s. :)
@@nadel-fu4wz And then they suddenly saw the light and started praising them... Just goes to show how they don't know any more or less than the average listener...
RRHOF finally started listening to RUSH fans kind of interesting that Geddy is wearing a BLAH BLAH BLAH T shirt .. Gee I wonder where Alex got the inspiration for his Hall of fame Speech?? All joking aside still hard to accept that Neil and Now Eddie Van Halen are gone.
@@donalddodds8335 No self-respecting human being takes the RNRHOF seriously. No shade at Madonna, Tupac, or Run DMC, but they're not rock. And snubbing Iron Maiden on top of that...
This ended up being my first choice to go to after hearing the very shocking and very sad news about Neil passing from brain cancer. Such a loss. He was an inspiration to us all. RIP, Neil.
The new guy. Lol I still find it hilarious that after more than 4 decades together they still teased the professor about being the new guy It was a very sad day when the news broke. I've been a RUSH fan since the 70s and the older I get the more I am amazed that 3 guys were able to do so much sound. In some multiverse I'll bet that the professor was an extrovert and loved doing the meet and greet things while still being your favorite drummers favorite drummer.
I love how in the live version they do that opening chorus twice in a row versus just once on the album version. It's such a gritty funky part so nice to hear it extended
I saw this tour two nights in a row back to back from the front section both times. I've been to hundreds of concerts, but those two shows really stand out as the best I've ever seen in my life. RIP Neil.
OUTSTANDING! There was a period of time between 1978 and 1984 that I saw Rush everywhere. Little 3500 seat halls, outdoor fairgrounds, stadiums, arenas, you name it. They never disappointed.
Such great memories of going to Rush concerts in the Seattle and Portland area and then camping on the Oregon coast for a week or so. How many times I sang this song to myself (and my wife) while we were out exploring the varied coastline. Rest in Peace, Professor.
Simply stated, "This song rocks". Natural Science and The Camera Eye are a few of my favorite RUSH songs, ever... But then again, I can't think of anything of theirs that I don't like..... Alex, Geddy & Neil,,,,,, we're looking forward to the next time you make it back to Pittsburgh... Thank you for the music guys......
I got to see them in Pittsburgh for the Clockwork Angels tour, it was my birthday. Drove all the way up from VA to meet relatives there and see the show. My only regret was not seeing them in VA Beach after.
One of my best friends and his oldest brother introduced me to rush around 1980. Later on i was playing natural science, and my friend said he didn't care for that song. I was like c'mon man, that's everything rush is. But he preferred tracks like fly by night and lakeside park. To be fair, he was into country music too and i can't listen to anything country, at least since 1965, without feeling revolted.
Therell never be anything even remotely like these three extraordinarily unique, beautiful, wildly talented dudes again. so thankful to have had them as 'companions' through life, but Im near tears every time I listen to them now. but ill never stop listening or watching these concerts
Rush raised the bar to a level unattainable by many bands. They continually challenged themselves to get better and we, as an audience, appreciated it. They are much beloved for this and respected the world over. As a fan since the late seventies, I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and for any "newbies" out there, welcome to a world of music embodied by three of the greatest writers and showmen there have been.
A very interesting way to think of these guys playing at this level (and having fun) while doing it, is to imagine that you're not merely seeing and hearing them play; but knowing what it takes to actually play it all and make that focused energy transmit between the three of them, show after show. They did that and so much more for over 40 strong years. Amazing.
man that is poetry which is natural science, the lyrics are like an adventure like the feeling you get when you are pumped up and excited. one of the greats for sure. may we all rock on forever, peace!!!!!
Last Rush show will always be memorable. First saw em in ‘06-‘07 with my pop, and as 8 year old who grew up on classic rock, RUSH has always been my absolute favorite. As an adult now, I can appreciate their music so much more…if only people knew how deep their lyrics were. Will always be my most favorite tour. 🐍
My favorite song among many others...the whole album is brilliant. .every time I see a live performance of Neal playing i get emotional, hard to believe he is not with us no longer..rest easy Neal..
they say that nothing is perfect, I beg to differ, these 3 guys and their crew are as close to perfect as it gets. heck I'll bet even NASA is envious at how precise, thoughtful and one TIGHT UNIT
REST IN BEATS..MAD PROFESSOR...NEIL PEART GREATEST DRUMMER LYRICIST. IN THE GALAXY...YOU WILL BE SORELY MISSED....IM STILL IN DISBELIEF THAT MY HERO IS GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN..
HUMM... Natural Science Mystic rhythms red sector a Xanadu, tone it down with some Jacob's Ladder, Lakeside Park ,trees, working man .RUSH:)-):) has to be one of the best 3 piece Bands That Ever Walked the face of the Earth they should have been in a Hall of Fame a long long time ago TY!
I learned about the death of the greatest only now ... I understand that "we will all be there" someday. But this event is a very, very big loss for me. A week ago, my favorite team of rock Gods ceased to exist ... (((((
Exhaustingly wonderful to attempt to follow Rush around by selling grilled cheese sandwiches on tour. Thanks Howard and Liam and Hugh and scarlet begonias of traveling fans chasing out their destinies.
There's actually TWO guitar solos in the studio version of this song. It''s probably a matter of time constraints that the guys choose not to include it in the live version, which is a shame cause in my opinion it's the better of the two. But it's Rush, so who's counting?

Difficult to argue with that kev 👍
You can delete "three man" and that statement is still true.

Physically painful to think I will never be at another live Rush show.
Physically painful to think i have never witnessed them live.
@@szpyrk0 Blessed to be there twice in S.Paulo, Brazil. Unforgettable. And now, impossible.

Seems I heard him say once that giving up dairy made a HUGE difference to his singing.
That's interesting! His voice had dropped noticeably by this point but IMO the vocals in this show were overall better than those on R30 and Rio shows regardless. He started the Time Machine tour on fire but things got pretty dodgy after that, if I recall correctly.

I absolutely agree. Saw this tour 8 times, each of them brilliant!
5:47 - Neil's tastiest break ever. Simply immortal.
This just helped me learn it, finally
They alllllll tasty !!!! ⭐🤘⭐🤘⭐
Permanent waves is a Fantastic album !
My favorite album!!!!
My favorite album indeed. It’s more musically complicated than Moving Pictures
@@fgs2732 I also think it's Peart's best album. He changes the groove so many times on Natural Science and in my mind, it's his cleanest performance. Of course, he is very precise on everything he plays...lol. it
Permanent Waves tour was my first concert at 15 and it was amazing
It was still is and ever shall be one of their very best works,such an opus.!!!

Have you heard the cover by Tyler Warren? He does an amazing job with the whole album and GUP!
-how could this band go so disrespected throughout all them years! Undoubtedly the best rock and roll band on the planet

One of the best tunes they ever wrote.
Agreed.
Have thought the same since I bought Pernanent Waves in 1999. Still is a masterpiece to me.
Agreed. The more I listen to it ... I think it's about a Neil Peart DMT trip.
Even my 11 year old thinks so. ruclips.net/video/jvZ96-Yzeng/видео.html
strong agree
i don't think there will ever be a band that surpasses Rush for me. true masters of their craft.
This ended up being my first choice to go to after hearing the very shocking and very sad news about Neil passing from brain cancer. Such a loss. He was an inspiration to us all. RIP, Neil.
for me it would be The Camera Eye. Both great songs.
This song kicks ass eh ?
Geddy is the coolest rock star in the history of rock. What a guy that Geddy
Completely amazing..RIP to the new guy..you will never be forgotten..thank you for everything you’ve done

Theyve changed arrangements slightly for a few songs live. Analog Kid is another that comes to mind.
Glad I'm not the only one who picked up on that. On the album version, the flying saucer transition arrives too fast.
All about a little universe for each creature on earth...
Good bye mr. Neil peart. Just come here after heard about his death 😢. We will miss your awesome and unique drumming
I was there, the very night of this recording. Amazing, and they played for a very very long time.
I saw this tour two nights in a row back to back from the front section both times. I've been to hundreds of concerts, but those two shows really stand out as the best I've ever seen in my life. RIP Neil.
" There is something about this band , nobody know's why they are out there , but we know " ( Billy Corgan) .

Them Canadians were just so good.... Glad they all knew a ton of Americans loved them too. RIP Big Man you are missed by millions world wide 🎶😎
It is ridiculous how much I love this song.
Theresa deMorrow epic song and those lyrics !!!
Beauty A !! Three perfect music science hosers .💖💖💖
One of the greatest they've ever done. Still gives me chills.

Easily one of Rush's greatest songs ever.

Tai-shan and Grand Designs I never listen to!
Tai Shan ,I don't like,Also the Necromancer.
Cinderella Man sucks, but I disagree on Grand Designs. I like that song.
Permanent waves,moving pics,and signals are Rush at there PEAK, phenomenal albums
I enjoy all the music they made for us.

No words. Just goosebumps. Amazing. Greetings from Belgium. Dirk.
I was at this tour and was so happy when they played this song my favorite now so sad that after hearing the news RIP
Been listening to this song for decades, over and over and still gives me the goose bumps
The glorious and amazing Rush band! Unprecedented virtuosity, bravura and love of performance, in the art of making great music.
A masterpiece, music and lyrics, composed and performed by masters of their craft.
I wish Alex woulda done the second solo, man that lead is epic!
Therell never be anything even remotely like these three extraordinarily unique, beautiful, wildly talented dudes again. so thankful to have had them as 'companions' through life, but Im near tears every time I listen to them now. but ill never stop listening or watching these concerts
Music in the abstract, Positively!
this song is pure musical triumph.
Lifeson said this was one of his most difficult songs to play. I love it.
He also said it was his favourite to play live.
CaseModVideos He also said it was his favorite to play live.
Felken Now that's odd. I just posted the same comment, word for word. The exception being how we spelled the word "favorite." Like minds!
As Geddy said, I come from a small yet humble place, Canada.
Which is why I wrote favourite with the u
Why would he say it’s so hard? I’ve been performing guitar for a long time and it’s not that crazy. Great song
The only band I could watch play the same song over and over.

3 master musicians that ruled the stage each and every show. There are 7 and 8 piece bands that never come close to sounding so good.
Watching this brought a tear to my eye as I realize I will never see RUSH play these songs ever again. These songs will live on and so does RUSH!
A loss for words. Thank You Neil. Rest easy Sir.
I love this! I was in Saratoga NY when Ged pulled out his camera. I freaked out!!!👍
RIP Neil, RIP Rush for all that music you brought us. There will never be a same band as this, guess we are getting old are we..
This music is a part of my life......more is not possible
Rush never wrote a finer song. And there were many, many fine songs. I miss them...
You just can’t cease to be amazed by them. These guys are just so phenomenal it doesn’t compute
To learn this masterpiece was an afterthought written and composed in a few hours is mind bending .
This song freaks me out when I heard and saw it live!!!! Damn that was great!
One of their best songs ever!!!
man that is poetry which is natural science, the lyrics are like an adventure like the feeling you get when you are pumped up and excited. one of the greats for sure. may we all rock on forever, peace!!!!!

I recall seeing this played for the first time (for me) live in Utica, NY, in 1987, and it was awe-some!
Sorry but they never played this on the Hold Your Fire Tour in 1987 www.setlist.fm/setlist/rush/1987/utica-memorial-auditorium-utica-ny-4bd18b72.html

Just awesome music...nothing made today can compare to their amazing playing

Such a dynamic and wonderful song... what a rarity... and (of course) excellent musicianship
Such an intense, exhausting drum song, they must have asked Neil “are you sure you want to play this live?”
And neil said yep
