      I saw them live in '82 I believe it was, during their Grace Under Pressure tour. They had a large projector screen above the stage and they showed a very cool animated video of the story as told in the song: the car, the chase, the double-wide air cars, the one-lane bridge. I don't know if that video was ever made available to the general public but I hope someday it might show up on youtube.

    "Red Barchetta" is, in my opinion, about as close to songwriting perfection--the synergistic marriage of great lyrics to great music--as there is.
    Arguably, it's the most "cinematic" song in the history of recorded music--certainly in the history of recorded rock music.
    Incidentally, at the one-lane bridge, 38 people were left stranded at the riverside.

      You know you touched on one of the main points that really sets Rush apart from most other bands. During their hall-of-fame induction ceremony, Dave Grohl acknowledged Rush to be one of the most "technical" bands in the business. Their ability to marry music and lyrics the way they do is truly unique.

      +Sharon Zamarka In case you didn't know, it's kind of a joke that's become a RUclips standard response: The number of people who dislike a given video are lampooned by any aspect of the video that's negative or made to sound negative.
      In this case, I said, "at the one-lane bridge, 24 people were left stranded at the riverside," equating the 24 people who had given this video a thumbs-down to the intrusive, joy-sucking authorities in the alloy air cars referenced in the lyrics.
      As of the time of this post, the "thumbs-down" count is currently 33, not 24 when I originally posted above; so, now I should say, "At the one-lane bridge, 33 people were left stranded at the riverside."
      I hope that's a helpful explanation! ;^)

You guys had to watch as music decayed, and I hope that somehow music will be returned to it's full glory.

    One of the reasons why Rush is among my favorite bands is the imagery they invoke in their songs. They open the imagination in ways few others can. IMO, there's no better example of that than in Red Barchetta.
    I can picture the whole thing: An overhead pan of "The Wire" at the beginning; fading to the uncle's countryplace at sunrise; the turbine freight blazing through as the protagonist jumps off running to the barn to take that cherry-red Barchetta out for a joyride. So many interwoven shots of the same experience at different perspectives as the driver careens toward the city. The driver cruising around the city, shooting the stuff with the locals, maybe taking some chicks for a ride.
    Cut to the driver as he weaves through traffic, when suddenly a 1st-person view zooms in on the alloy air car rapidly approaching the Barchetta, forcing the driver to make a dynamic 180° down the other side of the road, now two air cars on that Ferrari's tail. Another 1st-person shot zooms in on the one-lane bridge, which the driver takes, forcing the air cars to crash into each other and leaving them wasted on the side of the road.
    At sunset, the driver drifts around the same bends as before, back to the barn to cover up the beautiful car, and he reflects with his uncle on his once-a-week day where everything feels wild, free, and unbound by the chains of The Wire, as the sky turns twilit, and filled with stars.

    I've always been fascinated with artists of every kind. When they spoke, I listened. You cannot interrupt an artist because they're not talking about themselves. Don't judge. You'll miss out on what's real. But one way to know who the real artists are from the industrialists, is one will listen and the other will not. And just because they may be quiet, doesn't mean they're listening. They're either mining, or they are learning. Stay away from the miners, and learn from the hearers.With that said, I know Rush has disclosed certain stories or books some have read, etc... but obviously they listen and learn and they then did their own thing that nobody else has done. Rush has got to be one of the most impressive and useful groups of guys I've ever listened to.

Master word smith and drumming professor Niel Elwood Peart didn't join untill 1974 when Rutsy left due to heath reasons as he couldn't tour to promote the first album. This is based off an interview with Geddi being interviewed about his solo album after RUSH "My favorite headache."

      If my dad didn’t get me into this music I won’t problem be a standard Gen Z idiot. No I have long hair and have adopted the old culture. And I don’t want to brag about this at all and I praise you for doing what you do. Please spread the word of Rush! Neal, Lifeson, and Lee deserve to have their legend live on

    When a song that is never meant to be sad can actually bring you to tears because it brings you back to your own "Uncle's farm" where you committed your "weekly crimes" ,wow .

    I can now see a time in this world where this could happen, all electric cars poking along at 20 mph, and a rebel roaring down the road at 100 mph. They are taking our freedoms away from us, even the ability to drive ourself around. The cars will drive us. All autonomy will be gone. I wish I had an uncle with a red Barchetta! Jesus is coming soon be ready, be saved! Our redemption draws nigh! God bless everyone!😊🕊🔥💖✝️💕❤️

    The idea for this song came from a one page story from Car and Driver (maybe early 70's) about future cars that were "safety cars" all others were outlawed.

    If anybody cares... "A barchetta (Italian pronunciation: [barˈketta], "little boat" in Italian) was originally an Italian style of open 2-seater sports car which was built for racing. Weight and wind resistance were kept to a minimum, and any unnecessary equipment or decoration were sacrificed in order to maximize performance."
