WORKING MEN putting in OT & my Cajun Queen and I scored second deck seats to look down on Neil who didn't join til the 2nd album but that`s no biggie, as we rank Xee in the top 3 of all the the GenZ who`ve done this 1 with that showdown , as that was them in `74 the gig that got us hooked.... So Keep on Rockin the Reactions & giddyup XEE THE WORLD
I love this live performance from 2011! The bass and guitar duel is my favorite part. Cleveland is the city that really gave Rush their start in the U.S. back in 1974. A radio DJ in Cleveland, Donna Halper, played this song and it really caught on. Donna is a really interesting woman: She was the first female DJ at her college in 1968, and after helping start Rush's career in the United States, she got her PhD in her 60s and became a college professor in media history. There are some RUclips videos of her giving lectures in various settings, and she is entertaining (I would have loved having her as a professor!). Anyway, for a future Rush reaction, I suggest the live version of 'Analog Kid' from the Clockwork Angels tour.
As a lifelong Rush fan, you are doing great with your reactions. My friends and I were fortunate enough to see Rush live same tour, Time Machine tour when they played in West Palm Beach back in Oct of 2010. You probably knew from other Rush fans that Cleveland stop was recorded live because of local well-known Cleveland's rock station, WMMS aka The Buzzard starting to play Rush songs. Side note: Rush had a hard time to break through US's music market. Then one of WMMS DJ's played long song maybe 2112 on the radio because DJ has to go to the restroom. **Note radio programming back in the day, songs were short. But bands like Rush and Queen, radio programming was changed forever.
What I noticed about the audience is that although I tried to spot one, I never saw a woman in it. Rush was noted for having mostly male fans through a large part of their career. I also noticed that there was writing on the platform behind Alex and Geddy, and there were things written on it. Some that I saw were "bass time" and "half time", but the one that really stood out for me was a phrase that looked like it said "sausage time". That made me wonder if it was a reference to the audience composition.
Female Rush fan here. Sausage time refers to a skit they did that led into Spirit of Radio. Look for Rash, the "real" history of Rush episode two where Geddy has a restaurant called Gershon's house of Sausage. It is pretty funny. If you watch Caravan from the Time Machine Tour live in Cleveland you will see women in the audience. Cheers
I've lost count how many reactions I've watched to this particular clip, and every single time at the end when Ged is saying goodbye it's everything for me to fight back welling up with tears. Suck a bookmark in my life.... ugh, I miss seeing these guys live!
The crazy thing as you mentioned about RUSH having very few female fans compared to all the male RUSH fans in the audience. Is the fact "Donna Halper" who was the music director & radio DJ @WMMS back when RUSH was trying to catch a break in music. Was the "lady" who discovered the band RUSH & played a big part to help put RUSH on the map from the jump back in the day. Real Talk! Just saying... "Sometimes Less Is More" ya dig? 🤔 ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend++ 🤘😜🤘
Here's some more Rush for you to check out: Xanadu from the Exit Stage Left concert. Spirit of Radio from the Maple Leaf Gardens concert. ,.... Medley:By Tor and the Snow Dog , In the End , In the Mood , Grand Finale from the Exit Stage Left concert. Saw Rush 18 times, once from the 11th row.
The original Working Man version did not have the reggae but was straight ahead rock. When you have been playing a song since 1974 you like to change it up once in awhile. Fire performance! 🔥 🔥🔥

Very nice reaction, These ole boys were talent at its finest....Thanks mam !
This song is from their 1st album with their 1st drummer John Rutsy, before Neil Peart joined. This live video is decades later with Neil.

No worries regarding what you don't know about Rush. 40+ years of life in public putting on great shows. Lot's to learn!!!
🤗 Welcome back! Next try Rush 'YYZ Live in Rio'! 🥰🐰
Actually at the end of the song , they play a little bit of cygnus x1 book 1 : the voyage as a surprise
Rush, Tom Sawyer live in Holland is another great performance..... Thank you, sweet lady !!

They have two women spotlighted in the first encore of the Cleveland show La Villa Strangiato but I'm sure there was more. 😊

I was at this concert center floor. For free. Amazing!! PEART. (Peeert) is the right pronunciation. 😊

Great reaction. Love this performance
2:18 . . . Roadies lost his kazoo and the contract says if he doesn't perform he doesn't get a ride back home . . .

It’s pronounced “Peert”
I think she said that in the disclaimer beginning
another English Marm
Its pEARt,pEARt. Not Pert!!!
Could you possibly get the story about this song any more wrong ?
The disclaimer and description clarify here mistakes....could your comment be anymore ignorant
Oh so many hens kackling the details, nothing a working man could give 2 shits about
