I consider myself privileged to have seen them live during my lifetime. Thank you Geddy, Alex, and Neil. Rush may be gone but they'll never be forgotten.
I went to see Geddy Lee's "My Effin' Life" spoken-word discussion at the Orpheum Theater in Boston last week. Geddy mentioned that he and Alex are making new music together and will likely go out on the road again next year, but not as Rush. He did mention that Alex is currently dealing with a health issue, but he did not elaborate on it. Hopefully Alex gets well soon so they can get into the recording studio.
This has to be one of the best Rush performances I’ve ever seen. What blows my mind is when you go back and listen to it on their debut album, it fly rocks as good then as now and now as then. They were incredible before becoming more incredible !! 🤘🏼RUSH🤘🏼!
Saw these guys as a kid. My dad took me. I knew by how the city of Toronto felt that day but I could never imagine what I witnessed. My ears were deaf for a week. Greatest of all time what they did. Canadian legends
It doesn't matter how long ago this was, how many years they've played, how many concerts you attended of theirs, videos watched, years listening to in the car, etc. For me it's always..." DAAAMN!!! "...sometimes with tears! I'm nearly 63, just finished this video and......" DAAAMN !!!! "
Simply nerds who can't be honest with themselves and admit that their heroes had seen better days. Now, in the 70's and 80's, I won't deny that they hung the moon!
Indeed 'we' did! Saw them play touring off the single lead as the warm up on a triple bill in Cleveland. Foreigner was in the rocking chair and Uriah Heap was touring off Look at Yourself album. One helluva show all around! As someone somewhere once said, Cleveland Rocks!
It doesn't matter how old you are. If you Rock you Rock, all else is irrelevant. Masters of their art, each one a virtuoso on their instruments. Effortless perfection.
I saw them 4 times prior to 1985 and they were incredible. By the 90's, they were in decline especially Geddy's vocals. I'm glad I didn't see them again. I like to think of a band going out at the top of their game. This song is nowhere near their zenith.
@@edcollins9377 I disagree. I saw them in every decade since the 70s. 2112 was an incredible album. The early stuff was rough, but 2112 was in their prime.
@@MBGolfer The early stuff kicked ass! I'm surprised you liked 2112 if you didn't like By Tor, Fly By Night, Anthem, Working Man, Finding My Way, etc. In the late 80's Geddy's voice started changing and no longer sounded good.
We look at the greats of classical music hundreds of years later. Always they are the best composers and musicians. Beethoven. Bach. Mozart. Rush is the band that will be at the top of the list centuries from now. Especially in 2112. God if I could just hold on to life for another 84 years to hear the covers and celebration of that masterpiece, there’s no doubt that track will be as famous, if not more, 90 years from now
Is it just me, or at 2:43 does Neil nonchalantly realize "Damn, I need to pick up the pace with these guys, or I'm gonna get left behind!" 😂 RIP Professor. Greatest Canadian Band Ever
I've noticed too, but he kept his snare in off-beat/counter-timing during 1-2 measures as if it were an integral part of this "on-stage" musical piece. A clever recovery making his performance flawless in the end, which shows how Neil was a Master of his Art.
love it, as any rush fan knows, it was dj donna halper in cleveland who played "working man" in rotation in cleveland, after "rush" came out, and the rest is history. i know this sounds cliché but i heard working man on the night shift in kansas city around the same time and immediately set out to find the record and was hooked, been a fan ever since.
Who would have thought back then, how fitting, yet bittersweet, it would be that Working Man would be the last song they would ever play together, live.?
so thankful i got to see them live 3 times. my dad loved them beyond anything... he passed away and shortly after rush stopped performing... love them so much
When The Professor looks at you... in a show, live, with his hands like that... One can say... one has accomplished something right this feccking moment. 3 masters at their art ! I so much love these dudes... so much. :)
Wow. Just wow. I'm not a real Rush fan and didn't realize Neil wasn't the original drummer until last week. I came here to hear a version with Neil playing the skins as opposed to the studio recording, and all I can say is wow. Wow.
I know I commented here before but after watching them go to work on their guitars it made me think they were in a massive verbal battle and at the same time they whooped each other’s ass. I Never get sick of this song.
I wonder how many other bands has the fans like Rush? Fans that would travel the tour with them…I thank you for your dedication to Canada’s Premier Rock band RUSH!
Sitting at the bar one night w/ my Chinese wife, I let her watch this on my i phone w/ headphones. When it's over she says "Oh my God. They could get rich in China." I laughed and laughed. She was amazed!
This came on the radio when I was about home. My roommate was there asleep (I was on 2nd shift.). So I drove around till the song was over so I didn’t wake him. I told him later. He appreciated it.
Por mais que se fale que se comente a respeito desse magnifico trio canadense, esses caras do jeito foram e o que fizeram eles sempre serao os caras um trio os unicos work man estilosos.

Have played "Working Man" every Friday, for over 45 years, with a nice cold beer.
This makes me cry.....there is no denying they were the best. I miss them. RIP mighty Professor. X
why did this also make me cry
@Flamus Yourassus That song is so poignant....the lyrics certsinly came to fruition. ;(
Same here
Amazing !!!
Just feel lucky I was around the same time these guys were
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
Still smiling!!

Same, 1 million percent agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too
Same here , saw them in 1997
You are very privileged
I come here once in a while just to feel the hairs on my body stand straight up. What a performance!
Indubitably
This sucks. Listen to the version on "All The World's A Stage"! I'm sure it will make more than your hairs stand up! :)
Performance indeed. This is my favorite video of all time. it rocks so hard!
Alex is so underrated.
When they let him go, he goes.
I love Victor!
Alex and Terry Kath are the two most underrated guitarist.
>>Rush is so underrated!
Eddie Van Halen was asked in an interview how it feels to be the world's best guitarist; he replied, I wouldn't know why don't you ask Alex Lifeson.
How can that not bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye.
Exactly? How can a 60 year old men could rock so hard?
This has to be one of the best Rush performances I’ve ever seen. What blows my mind is when you go back and listen to it on their debut album, it fly rocks as good then as now and now as then. They were incredible before becoming more incredible !! 🤘🏼RUSH🤘🏼!
40 years of RUSH combined in one song!!

🥲🧡
Like ya. I’m just sitting here right now with tears in my eyes. There’s magic here.
The Cleveland crowd roared like a lion for their heroes, didn't they?
It's MY city! CLEVELAND ROCKS!!!! LONG LIVE RUSH! THANK YOU NEIL!!!
@@americansaxon2101 My city too, Brother!!!
@@WillieDuitt1 Awesome!
Cheers from Canada friend!
Simply nerds who can't be honest with themselves and admit that their heroes had seen better days. Now, in the 70's and 80's, I won't deny that they hung the moon!
@@americansaxon2101 Niel Paert?
Working Man in Cleveland...the song and town that gave them their start.
Indeed 'we' did! Saw them play touring off the single lead as the warm up on a triple bill in Cleveland. Foreigner was in the rocking chair and Uriah Heap was touring off Look at Yourself album. One helluva show all around! As someone somewhere once said, Cleveland Rocks!
CLEVELAND ROCKS!
@@guzzialfa CLEVELAND ROCKS!!! RUSH ROCKS!!!
Man Alex can shred! So under rated.
Yeah- shades of Steve Vai.
How can a virtuoso be underrated?
It doesn't matter how old you are. If you Rock you Rock, all else is irrelevant. Masters of their art, each one a virtuoso on their instruments. Effortless perfection.
Perfection, yes. Effortless never. #RIPNeilPeart #RushIsTheirOwnGenre #GeddyCornGirl
🐐🐐🐐
Greatest band to ever set on a Stage !!!
In The Name of the Bassist,
And Of The Guitarist,
And Of The World's Greatest Drummer...
AMEN
⚔️
I saw them in every decade since the 70s up to 2012. My final concert with my 16 year old son. Pure joy...RIP Professor.
I’m so jealous

@edcollins9377 I liked all of those too...but 2112 was my go to. Smoke a joint and get taken away by the story.
What a force of nature this band was. After a three hour show, they still brought the thunder with ferocity and pure aggression!
To finish a concert, at that level of intensity, is unbelievable.
They could’ve climbed Everest, in an afternoon.
I love Neil's drumming, but I'm like Damn what a guitar player! Then I'm like Holy Shit what a band!
and that bass players pretty good too!
The fact they are doing this is there late 50’s/ 60’s blows my mind
*bows repeatedly*
This is a level of depth, mastery, understanding and brotherhood to be truly admired.
Holy shit. Just wow. It’s like being a teenager at a Rush concert again. Thank you thank you thank you.
I remember seeing this for the first time in TV. Was pretty faded on my couch and then that breakdown raptured my S O U L . 🤯🤯🤣

3 maestros on that stage. What an intro ⭐️⭐️⭐️🎵🎶🎼
I consider myself fortunate to have seen them live, in 3 of the different time frames, of their legendary careers!! Greatest performance's ever!!
Is it just me, or at 2:43 does Neil nonchalantly realize "Damn, I need to pick up the pace with these guys, or I'm gonna get left behind!" 😂 RIP Professor. Greatest Canadian Band Ever
Oh, I think it's all carefully planned,

Silence! The Gods are rockin' us, listen and hang on to this monster classic.
Working Man - hidden in plain view- A secret to success!
They freakin' lived it!
INCREDIBLE song!!
RUSH make any modern rock band nowadays sounds pathetic next to'em... What a POWER TRIO🤩💯
Who would have thought back then, how fitting, yet bittersweet, it would be that Working Man would be the last song they would ever play together, live.?
so thankful i got to see them live 3 times. my dad loved them beyond anything... he passed away and shortly after rush stopped performing... love them so much

Alex on fire ,Geddy and Neil too! Great performance!! Rush for ever.
They played in the right town that night.... Rock N Roll HOF just down the corner for those 3.
Flannel shirt, Skull cap and Bass player doing a two step = Greatness!
Wow. Just wow. I'm not a real Rush fan and didn't realize Neil wasn't the original drummer until last week. I came here to hear a version with Neil playing the skins as opposed to the studio recording, and all I can say is wow. Wow.

It will never get old, don’t worry
Gods of Rock! Alex, Geddy and Neil are super human!
I wonder how many other bands has the fans like Rush? Fans that would travel the tour with them…I thank you for your dedication to Canada’s
Premier Rock band RUSH!
The polka intro to La Villa Strangiato is also GREAT!
What can you say about this? If you love rock and roll music, you have no choice but to love this. Just freakin turn it up!
Love the reggae vibe!
To watch 3 masters put it on the line is so beautiful
Indubitably
RUSH FOREVER !!!😢😢😢😢😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ WE ALL MISS YOU GUYS🙏💖 What a priceless expression from the professor !❤

RIP John and Neil,John made this song his own since he wrote it
Goddam. I saw them twice so long ago in a previous century. Never saw them again. This was incredible
This came on the radio when I was about home. My roommate was there asleep (I was on 2nd shift.). So I drove around till the song was over so I didn’t wake him. I told him later. He appreciated it.

What a live band!!
It's so unfair how easy Alex makes the guitar look, I could never be able to do that
That's one of the reasons he is under rated. He makes it look too easy.
🎸🐐
Always A Rush When You Hear Rush.
Daaaaang! Getty Killing it! The entire band is tight AF!
A showcase for the absolute brilliant Alex Lifeson!
better than 99% of reggae out there
