Countdown 100% needs the visual, because it's more of a narration set to music than a song. The band was invited by NASA to the first shuttle launch, and it was a really big deal. Nowadays when SpaceX successfully launches 3 times a week and lands the boosters on the X every time it's hard to remember how enormous that launch was.
Man, watching Ged singing and playing on the keyboard something totally different from the rhythm he's putting in his voice. When he sings, with one hand playing some strings on the bass and the other on the keyboard.. this guy is insane..
Wouldn't surprise me if he was also playing synth pedals at the same time, too.
The disrespect Geddy got for this era 😤 😪
"I have a friend who is an astronaut and has been in space. I asked him if he knew of this song, and with a wide eyed grin, he replied - "every astronaut knows this song."👍
Ah, 1981. 24 years old, MTV launches, space shuttle launches for first time, baseball strike, better economic times ahead. Great time to be alive.
Here's what Neil Peart wrote in the Signals tour book about the experience of attending this launch:
----
We were there! It wasn't easy, but we made it! We had a long-standing invitation to the first launch, and always swore that we would be there no matter what. Little did we know!
On April 9th we flew into Orlando on a day off, checked into a hotel, and slept until about four A.M., when we had to leave for our rendezvous at the Air Force Base near the Cape. There we met our liaison man, who conducted us safely into the "V.I.P." zone (Red Sector A) in the pre-dawn hours. We stood around, listening to the announcements, as the sun rose higher and hotter in the sky. We were due to play that night in Dallas, so we couldn't wait much longer. Finally they announced that the launch would be scrubbed for that day. The computers weren't speaking!
Well, we ran for the car, and our daring driver sped off, around the traffic jams, down the median of the highway, and got us to the airport barely in time.
The next night we had a show in San Antonio, after which we drove off immediately, clambered into a hired jet, and flew straight back to Florida. This time the launch took place on schedule, and it was SOMETHING!! (More about that in the song.) Again we raced backed to the plane, and flew off once more, back to Fort Worth where we had a show that night. Fortunately the day after that was a day off, so we had a chance to catch up on all that sleep!
I remember thinking to myself as we flew back to Fort Worth after a couple days without sleep: "We've got to write a song about this!" It was an incredible thing to witness, truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I can only hope that the song comes even close to capturing the excitement and awe that we felt that morning.
Also we all know: DIGITAL MAN is your favorite off Signals and for the record mine too! Said the Drummer!
I totally forgot there was a video for this song. So they had a budget for a 16mm shoot for the band (1 day) and a video editor with a copyright free library. The label loved them soooo much. EDIT new discovery, at 1.5x this sounds bit like The Dickies.
This is probably Rush’s best MTV video, they never really mastered that art, until the very recent animated Spirit of Radio video.
Geddy was in full Chris Squire mode during this period. He had the haircut, the bass sound, the proggy rock sound of Yes circa Drama. Then he chucked it all away. 😖
The song is definitely more a soundtrack for the shuttle footage as opposed to another banger of a song on the Signals album. That said, the first shuttle launch was an historic event of immense significance, I think that helps elevate the song in lots of people’s minds. I think someone else mentioned the drumming around the “air is charged” and “excitement so thick” lines, I get goosebumps at the way Neil holds back then rolls back through these parts. Great to see you watch this, we all know you secretly love this song and this was a roundabout way of showing us 😄
They only played this song on the Signals tour,(my first concert ever). They had a huge screen behind Neil and projected images of the shuttle taking off with smoke machines adding to the effect…..it was awesome.👍
Yes! That was badass when they played that song with the smoke blowing out on stage to coincide with the shuttle taking off on the huge screen behind them. That was my first Rush tour and the shows were incredible. The set list was great and Golden Earring opened the show and played their hits Radar Love and The Twilight Zone (not the Rush song).
That's what I really love about Geddy. It's not like he was playing keys and synths since day 1. He picked that shit up later in life, a complete different instrument, learned it, the programing behind it, and was killing it. It be hard enough to learn something different that late in life. I know he got lower back problems from carrying Rush for 40 years 🤣🤣🤣
He actually started playing piano when he was a kid. His sister was getting piano lessons and he would. mimic her playing. The music teacher heard him play and told him mum that he had talent. I agree he is truly gifted musically with a natural ability.
He also considered himself a rudimentary synth player compared to bass and vocals. And it shows in this song... the synth lines / solo are catchy enough but they're extremely basic... all in the Aeolian mode (white keys) with no real harmonic coloring to speak of.
Yes at the time, with the visual and the national pride of the Space Shuttle, and the fact Rush was big at this time, it became popular among Rush fans.
As a huge Rush fan, this song always gives me chills. I remember, in elementary school, we were all gathered around a tv to watch this launch. The Space Shuttle program was going to be the greatest thing NASA ever did, and it was. It didn't turn out the way they expected, but it was awesome. The way Rush captured this moment in time is nothing short of incredible.
The song that got me into Rush 40 years ago. Watched the launch in History class in middle school and when this video came out I fell instantly in love. Saw the Boys over a dozen times and this is the one song I missed seeing. Godspeed Neil, Godspeed Columbia.
The guys were named the official band of NASA. They were there as special VIP guests at the inaugural launch of the Columbia in April 1981. It's eerily ironic that the same space shuttle would be the second disaster of the program in February 2005.
RIP to the crew and to the Professor 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
At the end of the song, he says and we enjoyed the music Bob thank you…I heard a rumor that they were playing 2112 in the shuttle. Can anyone confirm or deny.
Little known fact: Rush later flew into space on the 9th space shuttle launch. They wrote a song about the orange drink "Tang" that all astronauts used to drink while in space. Terry Brown produced it.
i remember tang
Lol
At the time we were focused aigin , on the space program since 1969.
It was a resergence with the shuttel ..America was proud aigin . Great reaction Can't wait for
Power Windows.
This song came out in the early days of the shuttle program, when the whole concept was still pretty amazing. I was a space junkie from early childhood, and even without the video I loved it. I actually went to see a launch years later, but it got scrubbed that day.
Analog vs Digital that’s pretty much the argument to be made when comparing or choosing the preferred sound. Rush had little choice but to embrace the digital format in its entirety. Both as a true “progressive” band and as consummate musicians, it was both innovative and necessary as it allowed them to play things live, as a three piece band that was unimaginable to musicians not even a decade prior(from 1984 proper)Also as a major touring outfit the digital form provided more consistency in sound and ease of operating(also all the setting up and tearing down night after night)vs all the individual pieces of technology that were used to record the original music. RUSH were always WAY AHEAD of the times🤘🖖✌️🎸🎹🎤🥁🥇🎼🇨🇦👌👍
It's fun u are watching these videos. Subdivisions was probably thier best vid, you should check that one out.
Once we all get past this "Sync Era" it gets better. It's good but better stuff is down the road.
This song/video is what really solidified my Rush fandom back in the day. I was exposed to the songs off of Moving Pictures thru the videos that aired on MTV...and the guys that played the album in the back of the bus on the way to/from school. But, "Countdown" is what did it. I was (and still am) very interested in everything...out there. It will never cease to fascinate me.
I watched this launch on TV as 13 year old I think the launch got scrubbed 2 times before they actually got off the ground finally got to see a launch in person in 1992 what an experience to see that and the sound and he is right the ground shook like a small earthquake and just before the Shuttle lifts off it does this rocking back and forth I forget what NSAS called it but there is name for it
For anyone who grew up at that time, the song speaks for itself without visuals. For you "younsters", the video helps
Initially the NASA talk was a big distraction for me but I eventually was able to tune it out
Hey bud thanks for going back and listening again with the videos and then giving ur honest opinion with everything RUSH.
Yeah it was really an 80’s thing. I told you the video was cool, tho! It adds a lot of context! The launch was such a big deal! Now it seems kind of insignificant when there are private launchings all the time! So back then, this was historic! The NASA guys even say at the end “we really enjoyed the music, Bob”! I agree about the video, it’s like the song was written around the video. This played on MTV a lot back then. Be well and God bless.. from Texas!!
Cool video in the sense that it makes me remember the thrill of watching that first launch of Columbia and the beginning of the space shuttle program. Since the song is topical to that specific event and time, I can see where it would be difficult for people to connect with the song who didn’t participate in that experience. A unique song in the Rush catalog that will always remind me of good Columbia memories. I was mountain biking in central Texas with fiends the morning Columbia disintegrated during reentry. We didn’t didn’t comprehend what we were seeing at the time, believing it to be a daytime sighting of an extraordinary meteor shower or something. We went out for breakfast after the ride and the tragic news was on the tv in the cafe. It was a horrific and sickening revelation to realize what we had witnessed. Countdown reminds me of the fascination and awe we felt on Columbia’s first launch and America’s return to manned space flight.
I remember it too. Hard to believe it's been 40 years already.
Love it. One of my all time faves from any Rush record.
Just want to thank you for continuing the Rush Journey. I appreciate everything you're doing. I sent that DVD off yesterday. It left Kansas City last night so you should get it later in the week.
The song and footage belong together. Unfortunately Rush missed the opportunity to have the "Canadarm" robotic arm deployed from the cargo bay, there is lots of video with it in use.
This song always fills me with such pride for humanity, and I think that's why Rush wrote it. Have you ever seen the movie, "The Dish"? Same feeling of pride plus some great human comedy and drama mixed in.
have not seen the dish
While you are into space Check out rush mission sts 107 tribute
Rush was guests to this historic launch
This is the first time I've seen this video and I agree - it really helps put the song in its place for meaning and purpose; and further allows it to be a bit different from the rest of the songs on Signals. I'm not a huge fan of the MTVish camera work where Geddy stares at you while singing. I prefer pure concert or studio mode when they are playing music.
Love the gnarly Ric bass on this song. Unfortunately it's the last you hear the Ric as Geddy transitions into the Steinberger (Grace Under Pressure) and Wal basses (Power Windows thru Roll The Bones) until the 1993 album Counterparts when the '72 Jazz bass makes a return.
Geddy's Ric tone was perfect
Great song and video from Rush .. hope you do more videos by Rush , there are quite a few from each decade.. Check out vital signs ..the studio version video off Moving Pictures…
Watching the shuttle launch in middle school and the pride you felt this song really hits you. I can see if you weren't there for it it's just another song. But it really is a kick ass song, and time.
There are vids on YT that paired this song with more modern launches with HD and they are so cool
Yes, not one of my favorite songs but put a video to it and it makes it much more enjoyable.
Love this video and song pretty sure they played this on the signals tour!
When nerds put their heads together, they make cool music and build spaceships that can take off AND land.
Awesome…, like I said, imagine that in a huge screen behind them while they were jamming.
The song probably belongs in that time.
I don't know how old you are, but these early shuttle flights were a big deal - it seemed like the whole world stopped to watch their launches on tv.
It's just a diary, a snapshot of the event cleverly crafted into a song.
I think experiencing it live was also a big benefit for those of us that did.
It's a good tune 👍
I'm mainly a visual person myself, and I completely agree that this video augments the song; I hope that you have a chance to watch the video for Red Sector A, another great example of that.
🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🔥 🔥 🔥
Yes to RSA, Linda! I would strongly suggest the version using footage from Band of Brothers which is titled:
RUSH | Red Sector A | Grace Under Pressure - Holocaust Remembrance Day
And can be found at:
ruclips.net/video/BZ-jHBHhOFQ/видео.html
Live is better, as with nearly all of the songs from this era.
Always wanted to go to the Kennedy space center will be such a cool and emotional experience for me because I always wanted to fly
So they got all this footage and the audio directly from NASA. You gotta know Rush fans work for NASA. I've said it before but while this is a weird song, it's not really weird for Rush.
Not a 'go to' tune, but not without it's charm. The video did keep it interesting. 😊
Always thought that was a cool little keyboard solo by Geddy...shows a little more of his chops on the keys than on, say, Subdivisions
(Coming up on 45 minute point in our countdown
Everything going smoothly
T-minus 45 minutes and counting
Coming up on t-minus 40 minutes
T-minus 40 minutes and counting
This is Shuttle launch control)
Lit up with anticipation
We arrive at the launching site
The sky is still dark, nearing dawn
On the Florida coastline
Circling choppers slash the night
With roving searchlight beams
This magic day when super-science
Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams
(We have an AEO abort go for test
Tester says they are go for launch
At the present time we know of no major problems
As we enter this final hold)
Floodlit in the hazy distance
The star of this unearthly show
Venting vapours, like the breath
Of a sleeping white dragon
Crackling speakers, voices tense
Resume the final count
All systems check, T minus nine
As the sun and the drama start to mount
The air is charged - a humid, motionless mass
The crowds and the cameras
The cars full of spectators pass
Excitement so thick - you could cut it with a knife
Technology - high, on the leading edge of life
(T minus 27 seconds
We have gone to redundant sequencers start
T minus 20 seconds and counting
T minus 15, 14, 13
T minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4
We have gone for main engine start
We have main engine start
We have liftoff)
The earth beneath us starts to tremble
With the spreading of a low black cloud
(The shuttle has cleared the tower)
A thunderous roar shakes the air
Like the whole world exploding
(Rocket is en route)
Scorching blast of golden fire
As it slowly leaves the ground
(She doesn't feel bad presently)
Tears away with a mighty force
The air is shattered by the awesome sound
(T plus 30 seconds, plus 35
Columbia-Houston you are go at 40)
Excitement so thick - you could cut it with a knife
Technology - high, on the leading edge of life
Like a pillar of cloud, the smoke lingers
High in the air
In fascination - with the eyes of the world
We stare...
(Columbia is now turning towards its precise window
in space for main engine cutoff
Mark 2 minutes 40 seconds
Columbia now 39 nautical miles altitude
Ah, 42 nautical miles downrange
- Columbia you are looking a little hot and all your calls will be a little early
Young and Crippen really moving out now
Velocity now reading ah 6200 feet per second
- What a view, what a view
Glad you are enjoying it
G800 to LOS
Columbia Houston, ah we have 40 seconds to LOS, configure LOS.
You're looking good burning over the hill, we'll see you in Madrid
- And we enjoyed the music Bob, thank you.
Ah we enjoyed it, we just wanted to share some with you!)
The voice you hear doing the countdown is the Shuttle Test Director Al Sofge. At 1:58:52 of video ruclips.net/video/rJcV-1M3OsY/видео.html
Agreed...with all that.
admittedly this is a bit more upbeat vibe than the Philip Glass/ Koyaanisqatsi footage of a shuttle launch. Anyone seen that? End of the film I think
Still love the sound, bark, of that Rickenbacker.
Great song
Cool when I was a kid because the space shuttle was brand new. Now, not so much.
Oh, by the way, I am officially not drinking anything while watching your videos. This is the second time I've had to change a shirt and clean-up iced tea spit out from laughter at the 4 second point of this one. "My favorite song off of signals" is the best line and visual in the reaction.
Isn't it a nice synth solo for someone who's mainly a solid bass player?
Great! My favorite Rush song! My favorite album! My favorite band!
Despite this song being different from the rest of Signals and the sound a bit dated it’s still a great song. This video got regular airplay on MTV along with Distant Early Warning. They did videos too for Afterimage and Enemy Within but they didn’t get any airplay. But there on RUclips.
And The Body Electric ruclips.net/video/r3Dju2i4FZw/видео.html
Cool
Yeah I think you nailed the song perfectly. It was a had to be their type of song. And I think they did achieve what they were trying to accomplish with this song basically a tribute to the space shuttle program. Not a playlist song, but a Good song nonetheless
Hahahahahaha LIAR your favorite song on Signals! In a pig’s eye! Enjoy!
lol you know i was being sarcastic
I think it would be better to react to live videos. Especially for Grace Under Pressure songs, a bit later, where there's actually quite a bit of difference in the sound of the actual song.
There is more to it than it first appears but maybe should have been heavier - Alex could have done more
I don't agree with "you had to be there" and being older and before the video generation I have always been able to appreciate a song for what it is without needing a visual aid. I was never even a fan of the Space Shuttle program yet I always liked this song, mainly for the music, but it also did have a few good lines in it
see afterimage music video
a lot of times the most simplistic rhythms work. everything Can't Be Free Will everyday. otherwise it'll be Fusion. okay teach
Justin. Have you heard much of Emerson Lake and Palmer?
yes definitely heard of them. Probably have heard some of their music along the way but have not really checked it out.
ruclips.net/video/c2zurZig4L8/видео.html
Check this out. It'd be great if you would do a reaction to it.
You watched the 2 most commercially promoted music videos from GUP which is fine but the ones for either Body Electric or Red Sector A have a horrible cringe factor. Might want to look them up even if just for your own amusement.
I think you should critique all your videos by watching Rush videos 1st. Whole different perspective..
This song is a lot of buildup, for a cheesy conclusion, about a child-like fascination with NASA. It's hard for me, an 80's/90's kid, to take this song seriously, without lumping it into a cheesy 80's movie plot from a movie like "War Games" or "Space Camp".
The visual was a distraction!!!
The absolute worst song on the album, but as it is Rush, it's still great.
also my least favorite from the album.
It makes a far better soundtrack than song.
