Now watch the version where they do this live in Rio in front of 40,000 totally psyched Brazilian prog-rock maniacs. Holy smokes

And the opening beat spells Y-Y-Z in Morse code too

Congratulations on discovering the best three man band in history. Over 40 years of magic, 17 albums and over 160 songs to explore. Try any of these next. LaVilla Strangiato, Xanadu, working man live in cleveland, subdivisions, red barchetta, 2112 and on and on. Enjoy your Rush journey.

Geddy Lee sings, plays bass and keyboards ( sometimes all at the same time using foot pedals) YYZ pronounced YYZED in Canada is the indicator code for the Toronto International Airport. The beginning of the song is Morse Code for YYZ. Alex Lifeson the guitarist is also a licensed pilot and was flying them back to Toronto when Geddy and Neil heard the indicator code come on and it stuck with them. When the guys saw YYZ on their luggage they were happy as it meant they were heading home to their families. Rush has done a number of instrumentals. Their opus is La Villa Strangiato. I would suggest watching the official music video. YYZ was on the album Moving Pictures and all the characters in this video were based on the pictures on the album cover. Cheers

Check out the YYZ - Live In Rio version. It's got great energy.

YYZ is the airport code for Toronto, their home town. The guitar player, Alex, is also a pilot, and would sometimes fly all three of them. When getting close to home, they would hear the Morse code for YYZ come over the radio. Neil, being the consummate percussionist, turned the Morse code into the opening rhythm of the song. The very beginning part Neil plays on the crotales (small cymbals) and then played by the guitar and bass, is YYZ in Morse code! The song is supposed to evoke the frantic pace of traveling and living life on the road. The slow half-time part in the middle is when you make it home, have some time to relax with family for a bit, and then, bam! off again. Rush did a number of instrumentals that showcase their talents. Give La Villa Strangiato a try.

🇨🇦 If you want to hear the words to this, you will have to react to the live concert in Rio, where the audience is singing along ! 🇨🇦

Check out, Xanadu, live in Montreal 1981, Best live prog-rock band ever! Only seen RUSH once (Power Windows Tour) in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada ! Great reaction video!

“Red Barchetta” by Rush is great music and a great story.

Geddy Lee is the bass player/singer/ keyboardist... Alex Lifeson... Guitarist... Neil Peart. drums.

YYZ is Toronto's Pearson Airport....

Alex was joking at the end about YYZ being pronounced "Yizz" 😂, it is Y-Y-Z.

Geddy Lee plays base and keyboard when required and he's also the singer. Alex Lifeson is the guitarist and of course Neil Peart is the drummer aka the professor.

YYZ is The Airport code for Toronto Canada which is Rush's home town. The intro is the Morse Code for the Toronto airport YYZ . They heard it when flying into Toronto and decided to use the Morse code as an intro to the song celebrating coming home.

if you dig this, check out 'rush best intro ever' from the r30 tour. it will hurt your brain. enjoy:)

Geddy and Alex provided the voices of the police officers at the end of the video; Dirk is Geddy's nickname, Alex's nickname is Lerxst, and Neil's nicknames included Bubba and Pratt. And now, for another instrumental performance with a killer bass line, I'd like to recommend Leave That Thing Alone from the Time Machine Tour. Cheers from Toronto! 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🔥 🔥 🔥

This is nothing but Rush jam session. The van with the sign that said Moving Pictures, is the name of the album.

Take it back a few more years and check out "Closer to The Heart", " Fly By Night" off the Farewell To Kings album And "Limelight" off of the Moving Pictures album.

I went to this concert moving pictures. 1981. Dallas. Neil the drummer wow.

Long live RUSH ❤

IMO, you want to see what they are capable of as a three piece, you need to check out Xanadu (the live version)

In the opening Niel is using the symbols to make Morse code for “YYZ”

As the band traveled and toured, there was always something special seeing the YYZ on the bag tags when they were heading home to Toronto.

Watch live in Rio live RUSH is the best Rush

Lmao! The ending was so funny!! But this is Rush. Greatvfriends making killer tunes. 😮😮😮😊😊

I think it's like in Die Hard 2. The part where they change the beacon pulse from the planes. They reverse the signal to message them.

That first 40 seconds of the song is Morse Code - this particular one is for the Pearson Airport in Toronto - YYZ is the code for the airport like LAX is for Los Angeles - DFW - Dallas Fort Worth

YY Z (ZED) is the airport code for Toronto Airport❤🇨🇦

Great reaction! And thanks for the inspirational words 🤘

Geddy Lee, the bass player, keyboardist, and vocalist.

YYZ is FIRE !!!!!

La Villa Strangiato. The album version.

remember, 3 man band, incredible sound for 3 guys.

Love your reactions. Love your positivity more.

Your a cool dude, I really dig your reaction to this instrumental.

YYZ is an instrumental and I bet you would love la Villa Strato, which is also all instrumental

New sub - hear for the RUSH and more expansion of the journey. The best 3 piece band ever. Best Canadian band. Best Progressive band ever for me (Then YES) #WorkingManLive #SpiritofRadio

Thanks for reacting to this. This is a perfect example of instrumental music VS no instruments , just vocals. Totally different. THIS IS MUSIC . I can not think of 1 Hip hop/rap "musician" that can play any musical instrument. Great song.

So rush is one of the greatest rock bands in history. The singers voice takes a little to get used to. But the fact that he plays the bass and the keys and sings at the same time. Is just plain crazy.

Rewatch the first video you did with him. And you will notice the singer bass player and keyboard player is the same person.

bro youve got to listen to yyz from exit....stage left.the drum solo by neil leave you speachless

The excellence of natural talent and delivery…..

You ever need to get Energized, 'Pumped Up', just pop this one on! 'TERRITORIES' is another one that gets my Mood/Energy up!

🤘🍁🤘

If you wanna hear the professor do some great drumming listen to bore the Snowdog from the flyby night album TOR the Snow dog you love it

watch YYZ live in RIOOOOOOOOOOO.....you're missing out

Yep Mamas boys! The Rio version. Geddy vocals, keys bass! They have their own vocals during hook. They really are best Audience!

YYZ is actually the call letters that they overheard the pilot speaking as they were landing in a Canadian airport and it was the call letters for that airport that they were going home to so YYZ is an airport call letter for home for them. Just thought you’d wanna know.

I hope your day is going good too

By the way, loving your reaction those are my guys

Time for 2112 my man 👍👊😎🇨🇦

Getty Lee it’s spelled GEDDY Getty Lee plays, bass keyboards, piano synthesizers, and he sings. These men are geniuses you gotta you gotta watch the documentaries beyond the lighted stage is my first recommendation. Enjoy my friend. Enjoy.

Yyz is Toronto international airport Only 3 dudes making some insanely good music Professor on drums, Alex on guitar an Geddy Lee bass, keyboards, bass pedals and vocals

MALIGNANT NARCISSIM/DE SLAGWERKER please❤🇨🇦

Y, Y, Z (Zed), they are Canadian.

There's a live version of YYZ that includes one of the Professors signature drum solos when they were in their absolute prime!kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHlsl8akf7zOpLQ.htmlsi=-jZoi9gA6S4gAxmz

You need to see la villa strangiato live from the early and the later days. Early days: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l39lys99oMSektI.html Later days: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jGeuzrSdm9bHm6w.html

The video is a distraction...RUSH is tastiest live...Get blown away by Working Man live in Cleveland - it's 🔥🔥🔥 Here's a link for your convenience: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p36ukpZyo5e2kso.html Subbing to follow you down the rabbit hole. I've been a RUSH fan for 40+ years, seen them live countless times and I get really excited when young folks appreciate their music.

2112 temple of s

If you're digging the cartoon you will be way more enthralled with the live version, preferably the one from Rio.

Got to react to Spirit of the radio… bro. Thank me later 😎

Well, you’re gonna need a lot of time for at least side a of the 2112 album has to be listened to in one sitting it’s one damn song with a lot of movements🎉😂❤

Not my favorite song of theirs, eventhough I used to play this on guitar. I do like the story of the airport code though, and the Rio version is off the hook. If you want to hear the professor rock out, my favorites are probably Limelight on this album and Subdivisions on Signals.

You just need to listen to the lyrics! LOL

Everywhere but America it is pronouced Y-Y-Zed.

I don't mind REACTORS stopping/pausing or talking at all. But you gotta be careful with RUSH. If you TALK, it's likely you'll miss the NEXT great moment!

No idea what the heck the video is about. I actually hate the vid versions because the Rush band didn;t make them. The professor's finest in my opinion was on 2112. You can't know Rush if you don;t geek out on 2112. No cartoon vid tho. Listen the way we heard it in 1976. That thang went platinum from kids in college dorms and band rooms. There was no radio play for a 20 minute song. The thing went platinum because we were walking by and said "WTF WAS THAT?!??!?????"

Do Not listen to "La Villa strangiato". You're not ready!!!!
