So far we use mobile light, so not optimal. We need more lights, also why we do save up for a Elgato Ring Light, that should make it perfect!

The single greatest live performance by any band ever. How three guys can sound like an entire orchestra. P.S. Rush did the studio recording in one take. 😊

I'm 64 years old and have seen lots of "live" performances...I can't think of ANY that rivals this one as far as musicianship. These 3 are so good at what they do, it's simply mind boggling.

Both Alex and Geddy played Moog Taurus pedals in this song while playing their other instruments.

Rush, the greatest 3 piece rock band in history, no debate, over.

The bassist ( Geddy ) was playing rhythm guitar on that double neck during the guitar solo (Alex) near the end, and doing low notes with his foot on the bass pedals. i was at that show, I'm from Montreal, as a matter of fact I saw 1 show from every tour since 1978, that's 19 times I've seen RUSH

Its readily apparent watching Rush live. They love each other and they love playing together. Thats why they lasted so long.

Loved RUSH!! I saw them many times live here in Canada 🇨🇦. Phenomenal!!! 🇨🇦

Alex's tone on that 12 string is almost bell-like and makes this version superior to the studio version. Flawless!

You will get a lot of attention doing Rush songs. They are that good and have possibly one of the largest group of loyal followers.

Welcome aboard! We love reacting to Rush!

Check out the Rush performance of La Villa Strangiato at the Pinkpop festival. Alex is incredible.

I always wished they'd used more camera shots and showed Geddy playing the pedals with is feet while also singing and playing the bass, so people can see where those other sounds are coming from and how crazy coordinated he is.

Appreciate you guys reacting to this. It really shows how much they do on stage to produce what you hear on their recordings. You really need to se them perform to totally appreciate their talent. If you both enjoy the instrumental tracks I would highly recommend La Vila Strangiato , Leave that thing alone, a where’s my thing, and working man live in Cleveland.

Living in the limestone, the sedimentary fossil dream! 😂

Keep at it guys and enjoy exploring music. I did not appreciate growing up with the British Invasion through all of the variations of music from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and so on. I have to admit I do like music that is actually played over sampling, but times change and so does the music. Have fun!

The ultimate Rush performance. There are a number of amazing guitarists out there. I think if either Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen or whoever had produced this performance it would have been lauded & appreciated more. I love those guys but Alex's performance here is on a par with anything those guys have done. Underrated for sure, but not by Rush fans. 3 of the greatest musicians in Rock just happened to play in the same band - the perfect storm.

A brilliant performance of an amazing song! Alex and Geddy are joking around on stage while playing incredibly complicated music. That's what happens when you have been playing with your best buddy since you were 16. Alex Lifeson the guitarist also plays acoustic guitar, mandola and later on keyboards. The instrumental was YYZ and the other song you were talking about is Limelight. I have left some Rush songs suggestions already so I won't leave anymore now.😉 I have a new band suggestion. They are a newer Canadian band but they play old school rock and are big Rush fans as well. Their name is Crown Lands and the song is Lady of the Lake ( official music video Have a good one. Cheers 🇨🇦

@@williamdemerchant7295 haha ty so much! :)

When you react to 2112 I'd recommend the animation video if you really want to understand the story behind the song. Trust me, it's incredible.

Geddy's doubleneck is a bass and 12 string guitar. He switches to the 12 string neck when Alex starts his main outro solo right after the last vocal passage. Geddy stays on the 12 string for the remaining minute and a half of the song but the video doesn't show it very well, most of the attention is on Alex.

Alex smoothly switching from 12 to 6 strings at 12:41. That's just sick. It's one thing to do that during a break in the song, but mid -verse is ridiculous.

Neil on Drums plays the Bell Tree at one point in the song. The bell tree is a nested set of bells stacked vertically. You can see him play it near the end of the song.

If you want to react to a Neil Peart drum solo, I personally would suggest Neil's performance of Cotton Tail in the early 90s at the Buddy Rich tribute.

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your Rush reactions and welcome to the family! 👏🏼👍🏼

I just came across your channel today and I love your reaction to this song! You noticed both Neil’s stick toss and stick spin as well as Alex’s quick hands moving from the 12-string to the 6-string on his doubleneck guitar. Soooo many reactors miss all of those. I didn’t notice if you saw Alex and Geddy playing foot pedals but that’s really difficult to notice. You have a new subscriber! Also, I’d like to donate to help you get the light you spoke about. Please let me know how I can do that. Thank you!

HI guys. Your doing a fantastic job, taking the music in and enjoying it. Welcome to Ruch. 3 guys that made music to be played live, to share the possibilities of what music can do. As you are both musicians, then you know where it's at. Good work.

Rush what a band !!!! The Goat Neil and also Geddy. Alex so underated !!!! Neil here is like an orchestral percussion section: Chimes, triangles, temple blocks, glockenspiel, bell towers and tubular bells plus his huge kit and he also writes the lyrics. Have seen them 9 times first in 74 at my high school this version of the song was the best I saw. RIP Neil "The Professor"

🏆🏆🏆🏆!

At 23:44 that's called a bell tree, I think.

Only Rush can make you say....'Already?' and 'It's over?'..after a 14 minute long song.

Geddy handling vocals, bass, synth, floor pedals (taurus) AND guitar in one song. Alex also using both necks on the guitar and taurus foot pedals. Neil shredding on the drums and working an orchestra's worth of percussion. Talk about putting the power in Power Trio.

Lotta necks on that stage!

I believe you were wondering about the Glockenspiel, in Neil's drum set. The hanging curved cymbals, from small on the bottom to larger on top. Glockenspiel!

@kevindohn6776

5 ай бұрын

no that's a bell tree, a glockenspiel is similar to a xylophone

I'm a huge Rush fan and bought 2112 the day of its release. If you love 80s progressive rock and 80s metal and want a newer band try "Ghost"

A true masterpiece!

Kansas is what it would be like for more musicians to be playing the different Instruments. But never exceeding the Level of Rush.

You've heard a lot of songs from the late 70's and very early 80's so far.
