To understand the literal meaning of the term, 30+ years later, this might help: "The Distant Early Warning Line, also known as the DEW Line or Early Warning Line, was a system of radar stations in the northern Arctic region of Canada, with additional stations along the north coast and Aleutian Islands of Alaska (see Project Stretchout and Project Bluegrass), in addition to the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Iceland. It was set up to detect incoming bombers of the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and provide early warning of any sea-and-land invasion." (Wikipedia)

Not too hot or cold, drove from Peoria IL to St.Louis with my buddy George..Kinda odd they had Mr.Big open for them. I remember them playing this song...Wish I could rewind the clock 🕒
Been listening since Moving Pictures came out and Tom Sawyer was the first song I ever heard. Went to Power Windows concert in Maryland back in 85. Been rockin on since 🤘🤘🤘
Dude. I love Alex’s playing in the early 80’s. Actually love all his playing but I am a sucker for that early 80’s sound. Andy summers had the same sound in a lot of ways.
@@rbjax2001 '81 was my favorite year of rush. Moving Pictures & Exit Stage Left was a period where Alex began using a little more Fender guitars while getting the best imo sounds out of Gibsons I've ever heard. It was that in between period after the minimalistic guitar/Amp setup and before the synth heavy / polished effects precessors sounds. I liked all three but prefer that goldilocks 1977-81 period.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a band more “on the same page” than Rush. In such complete and total unity of sound and purpose between the three legendary players. Each song is just beautiful to experience…
Follow the guitar the whole way thru: dominant, driven, melodic, builds and releases tension, it tells a story. His playing is on a different level than most rock guitarists, he is so underrated.
What many fail to realize is as a Rhythm guitarist he is very advanced and never creates anything but exiting ideas and fills in a lot of space . He never needed to have crazy extended soloing to prove he is a master musician but I do wish some solos with that guitar tone in the 80’s were extended a few more bars lol including marathon where he could have really went wild . Alex always will be a hero of mine as Geddy and Neil will
yeah-huge neil fan here-also might include ginger baker and jim fox from the james gang in that class as well-jim is the only one left now at 72 yrs.old
Same, and I swear I get something new out of their songs whenever I hear them. THAT, to me, is the measure of great music. Proud to call them Canadian!
What an angel might sing to a mortal -- "The world weighs on my shoulders -- but what am I to do? ...I know it makes no difference to what you're going through, but I see the tip of the iceberg and I worry about you." Keep your eyes to the skies, good people. One of the most dynamic and thought-provoking Rock tunes -- ever.
"The world weighs on my shoulders, but what am I to do?" RUSH knows. The Muse who inspired 2112, Anthem, Free Will, and Tom Sawyer told them.... Shrug.
Yes! Rush, and Neil Peart in particular, aren't recognized enough for their brilliant, meaningful lyrics, where they did deliver anyway. (Not sure if Neil was a contributing lyric writer on this song or not, but know many other's he did) May you be at restful peace forever with your family Mr. Peart!!

+Collin Campbell I'd have to disagree with you about the quality of Presto. I think it's easily their second worst album. It held the title until Snakes & Arrows came out. Yechhhhh.
Rush is one of those unique bands with a unique sound an doesn't appeal to most hard rock/prog rock fans. In the 80's, liking Rush often got you labeled as a nerd or egg head, and back then I couldn't figure out why. Sure, I was isolated a bit for loving Rush, but they gave me a confidence and strength that I never knew I had, because I loved Rush, but couldn't care less about being popular. Once I heard "Subdivisions", as a kid; I was hooked.
When I was 17, I got to see them for the first time at MSG, NYC in 82 during Signals. Before I got there, I had NO clue what songs they did. Then, by the time the concert was over, it was as if I had an epiphany and saw them 7 more times to include R40. RIP Neil, you crafted so many greats with your pals. You'll never be forgotten.
Thank you Neil. I’ll never forget playing air drums as a 13 year old boy pretending I’m in front of 40,000 fans while listening to “Exit Stage Left”. I’m so heartbroken. I pray you are at peace with your wife & daughter
I have too many "favorite"Rush songs so I will list a few of my First favorite...I lived ,I think I'm going bald ,working man ,how can you argue with closer to the heart...cant forget that the oaks can't help their problems,they like they're made.why can't the maples be happy in our shade??(the trees)thank God I saw four shows ...thanx guys for 45-50 years musical perfection at so many different levels...RIP Neil
The first time I went to Montana I finally realized what they meant about 'big sky'. The first time I heard rush I understood 'big music'. These three gentlemen captured lightning in a bottle. God put them together.
I remember driving towards Montana from Idaho and saying to my wife, "What does big sky even mean? The sky is the same size everywhere. It's visually even bigger when there aren't any mountains blocking it..." That lasted about 30 minutes of actually being in Montana haha
I don't think he finds music practical. He listens to Bach and Mozart ironically when he's doing chores, just because there's good science behind it's benefits on the mind.
Didn't know that Geddy was Jewish. Thank you for pointing that out. His parents were holocaust survivors, which I also didn't know. Wow. I always did like the ending of this song: "Absalom Absalom Absalom" Now I have a better idea where that came from.
Rush needed to just be themselves. I heard Geddy Lee comment about PR pressure to conform to label pressure and 80's fashions/instruments ... SO glad they ditched it to just be themselves again .... BUT their music did NOT suffer - that is true
Man, I can't add up all the experiences I've had seeing Rush in concert and just living my life and the chapters of it with Rush in it. All just great musicians and their performances live well unbelievable. I'm 64 now and have been listening to them since 1972.
I highly recommend you lend an ear to Tyler Warren and his covers of Permanent Waves and GUP. I only saw Rush live five times starting in '84 and ending at the Forum in 2015, but every show was incredible.
j'ai connu RUSH avec movies pictures. ..mais cet album est pour moi un sommet ....Peut être l'album que j'écoute le plus souvent avec toujours de plaisir....un albun a avoir dans ses classics....RIP neal peart....
I remember trying to make a 📼 recording of all the Rush videos on MTV, I had sit around and wait for a video so I could record it..... that's when MTV played nothing but music videos. Now all I have to do is pull them up on RUclips to get my Rush fix.
I see your point. But - to me - it'll be the longer hair, the moustache, the kimono on stage and a drum fill that covered a 270-degree arc from left to right. R.I.P. Professor.
I feel the same about early Rush. I too could never get into what they were doing in the 80's and 90's. The last album that I feel is truly great Rush material would be Signals - but even that one is a stretch. My favourite album is Farewell to Kings. Hemispheres and Fly By Night are locked in 2nd and 2112 and their debut Rush are tied for 3rd. That said, Caress of Steel is a fine album too! So many amazing songs! Like you said, 1970's had some killer Rush music!
I agree. Signals was the last great Rush album and even then it was straddling the line between Prog-Rush and Synth-Rush that Rush became. You cannot beat their first 8 albums. No comparison.
I confess that I used to think the Lifeson's guitar less important than bass and drums here, but I was totally wrong! Lifeson changed the way he used to play the guitar in order to fill all the 80's Rush songs, and he nailed totally! Wonderful song!
Good Lord so much to unpack......as a Rush since 76 who saw them a _bunch_ of times and consider them tied for my #1 fave band of all time, I still keep noticing new things in the vid. And for ref, I still have the '84 tour program (saw the GUP tour 2 nights in a row at the Worcester Centrum and even still have the tee shirt, though I'm way too fat now to ever wear it again....), notice around 3:17..........and then look up what the DEW line was (and more importantly, _where_ it was_ . .) . . freakin' Rush, as was always the case, miles ahead of most others......
I live an hr and a half away from where Neil was born and listening to them for over 30 years and I said then when I head them drums That's the best DRUMMER in the world RIP very sad day for me and the band and family

Never judge a RUSH album against another. They are all works of art at different stages of their careers.
That's what makes Rush the undisputed masters of prog!! No two albums are the same!
Well said
Except Presto....that one can stay in a closet. :)
Well albums are one thing, individual songs... like Virtuality 😣🙄😣 that are painful to listen to, are quite another!
Agreed
One of their criminally underrated songs
I agree
Nothing they do is underrated. Everything they do is a masterpiece.
Grace Under Pressure is underrated.
My favorite rush song!
It was all over MTV at the time
RIP Neil Peart, 1952-2020. There have been many great drummers- and then there was Neil.
Gone too soon. RIP, NEAL PERT.
RIP Professor.
What a tough and talented man he was... A true Canadian!
"Your favorite drummer's favorite drummer"!
My favorite rock drumming is Clive Burr, the first 3 iron maiden albums, hes friggin intense.
Most musically talented rock band of all time
Seriously. Every single one of them was just incredibly phenomenal. It's hard to even put into words.
Yes. They were so good.
@@davegto67 Indeed, Yes were so good. :-) I love both bands.
close but no cigar. Listen to steely dan
who cares...if you like their music that's all that matters. I love Rush and the songs they wrote together.
Cool suit that Alex is wearing here. He looks great in it!
Hahaha you look good in anything when you’re 30 years old
My god, Alex's playing and tone gives me chills. His sound on this is the holy grail for me.
U cudnt be more right about that! Epic!
Dude. I love Alex’s playing in the early 80’s. Actually love all his playing but I am a sucker for that early 80’s sound. Andy summers had the same sound in a lot of ways.

I agree. This has Always been one of my Favorite works from Alex. He simply Owns this song...👏👏👏
He might actually be the best guitarist ever and sadly, but definitely, hes the most underrated and underappreciated...
In some instrumental ways hes actually the best electric ever > 3:01
Not under-rated by me!
This is My Rush Album. First Rush Concert.🤗🤗🤗
RIP Neil. A huge loss to Canada and the world. Exit the Warrior!
Nice! Neil was one of thee very, very best...
Rush performing.... they are missed!!!!
'When I heard that you were gone, I felt a shadow cross my heart.'
Three years ago today…feels as though he’s been gone a lifetime. Rest up, legend. 🙏🏻♥️
One of the most underrated guitarists ever. Boy can play!
Trevin Larkin alexxxx
Definitely underrated. His solos are something to behold
Ed Van Halen agrees as well
To think Alex and Geddy started this in high school....Imo the best 3 piece band in the world
What many fail to realize is as a Rhythm guitarist he is very advanced and never creates anything but exiting ideas and fills in a lot of space .

Super killer song.
If only neil couldve written something about todays situation, definitely wouldve been the greatest song of our generation.
Great to see Neil in top form,never knew him personally but still miss him.

To all those who say that this Rush video is bad, remember...
"Rush" and "bad" can never be in the same sentence :)
Herald Yoman The album "Presto" proved you wrong.
Pedro Calmon well I suppose the loophole is that Presto is a "bad-ass album."
Herald Yoman And it's the 80's. Videos like this were popular.
+Pedro Calmon Presto was good. I'd say you're on drugs, but even people stoned out of their minds can appreciate Rush in it's entirety.
+Collin Campbell I'd have to disagree with you about the quality of Presto. I think it's easily their second worst album. It held the title until Snakes & Arrows came out. Yechhhhh.
I remember when this came out, couldn’t stop listening to this whole album. The best TRIO!!
It does not get any more 1984 than this. The defining music video.
So '84. I so this those days.

Words and meaning rings true today as strongly as when they wrote it. Such great storytellers and prophets alike. RIP Neil.

Lifeson's shimmering chords make this song the powerhouse that it is.
The drums in this is what I love!
That bassline though... the 3 wizards at work! Amazing tune
No doubt I agree!
I agree! Alex is a guitar god. . .
Defiantly an Andy summers inspired song
Mr Peart hit those drums full force even when “drum synching” for a video shoot. Look at how he it those fills. Unreal.
The first time I went to Montana I finally realized what they meant about 'big sky'. The first time I heard rush I understood 'big music'. These three gentlemen captured lightning in a bottle. God put them together.

I do not often watch music videos, but one can feel the energy when Lifeson and Lee turn to each other. Neil Peart gets into it.
Geddy may not be screaming and there may be synth, but this is one of their heaviest rocking songs in my opinion.
Rock on!🖖
RIP Neil 😢🥁🕯 This is one of my top 10 favorite rock songs of all time.

Omg yes I agree

How many D&D games do you think he played to Rush? I played hundreds to this great band......"roll for surprise!"
1984 was a really good year for music.

Love the 80's Rush, with a lot of synths, great guitar solos and amazing drums!
And thunderous Wal Bass attacks!
Next to the late seventies prog period it's probably my favorite era of the band and when I first discovered them.
Never got to see RUSH or Floyd in concert. Damn if those two ever played together, that concert would rock the World! :-) Peace.
I love Rush from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s.
Rush needed to just be themselves. I heard Geddy Lee comment about PR pressure to conform to label pressure and 80's fashions/instruments ... SO glad they ditched it to just be themselves again .... BUT their music did NOT suffer - that is true
Alex's guitar work on Grace under Pressure is amazing 👍 This is one of my favorite albums from their "keyboard" Era.

Geddy Lee would make anyone want to be a bass player
He certainly did for my husband! ;)

Lost my grandmother and Neil on the same day. It was tough but they both meant so much to me in their own ways
Rush is timeless. In 50 years from now they will be up to the date
True, they are way ahead of their time ❤
So fun to see the guys so young then. ❤❤❤
I remember trying to make a 📼 recording of all the Rush videos on MTV, I had sit around and wait for a video so I could record it..... that's when MTV played nothing but music videos. Now all I have to do is pull them up on RUclips to get my Rush fix.
First Rush video I ever saw. Had just started smoking weed, and I was hooked.
😂 sounds accurate
RIP Neil thank you for the music
This is how I will always remember Neil. Young and vibrant and behind his (this) bright red drum set.
I see your point. But - to me - it'll be the longer hair, the moustache, the kimono on stage and a drum fill that covered a 270-degree arc from left to right. R.I.P. Professor.
Outstanding, I love RUSH 💯💯💯
From their 2112 tour on, I saw them perform live in Dallas almost every tour since then.
Absolute. ABSOLUTE!
I love early Rush. All the wolds a stage is a killer album.
I could never really get into this later stuff. RIP Neil, 1970`s Rush killer!
I feel the same about early Rush. I too could never get into what they were doing in the 80's and 90's. The last album that I feel is truly great Rush material would be Signals - but even that one is a stretch. My favourite album is Farewell to Kings. Hemispheres and Fly By Night are locked in 2nd and 2112 and their debut Rush are tied for 3rd. That said, Caress of Steel is a fine album too! So many amazing songs!
Like you said, 1970's had some killer Rush music!
I agree. Signals was the last great Rush album and even then it was straddling the line between Prog-Rush and Synth-Rush that Rush became. You cannot beat their first 8 albums. No comparison.
I absolutely ADORE Rush and their tendencies to touch the very nerves with their music, but in a good way!
"you sometimes drive me crazy, but i worry about you" 🎶
I confess that I used to think the Lifeson's guitar less important than bass and drums here, but I was totally wrong! Lifeson changed the way he used to play the guitar in order to fill all the 80's Rush songs, and he nailed totally! Wonderful song!
Good Lord so much to unpack......as a Rush since 76 who saw them a _bunch_ of times and consider them tied for my #1 fave band of all time, I still keep noticing new things in the vid. And for ref, I still have the '84 tour program (saw the GUP tour 2 nights in a row at the Worcester Centrum and even still have the tee shirt, though I'm way too fat now to ever wear it again....), notice around 3:17..........and then look up what the DEW line was (and more importantly, _where_ it was_ . .) . . freakin' Rush, as was always the case, miles ahead of most others......
Loved this whole album! ❤
RUSH is another nameof "perfection"
1984. What great memories.
I live an hr and a half away from where Neil was born and listening to them for over 30 years and I said then when I head them drums That's the best DRUMMER in the world RIP very sad day for me and the band and family
Geddy is tough loudmouth, and so is Rush!
im very young, only 14, but my dad turned me on to Rush and they already mean the world to me. im trying to learn their songs on guitar...
this band is unrivaled
RIP neil peart. Thanks for everything!
Some great footage of The Professor in this video. ❤️
Headless bass and mullets = best rush era!!!
