When you have a crowd singing a long to an instrumental, you've done something right!

The Earth is billions of years old, and we got to live at the same time as Rush. I've been a fan since Fly by Night, seen them perform many times live. They always put on a show.

Two things. First, when I saw this video the first time, my brain said "Rock Pundits: "You can't sing along to an instrumental!" - Rush Fans In Rio: "Hold our Cerveza!". Second: If you want a Neil Peart drum solo, you need to see his solo from the Frankfurt concert called "Der Trommler". It's a masterclass in percussion from the master!

Guitar: Alex Lifeson Bass and synth: Geddy Lee Drums and percussion: Neil Peart Vocals: Half the population of Rio de Janeiro

You know you 're killing it when the crowd sings along to an instrumental piece

YYZ is the 3 letter airport code for Toronto. Whenever they flew home to Toronto after a long tour there was relief, joy, jubilation to be home, etc. So they took the morse code for "YYZ" and made that the opening riff of the song. its freaking morse code for "YYZ".

It's in Brazil. They toured several cities there. They have a huge fan base there. They had waited twenty years for RUSH to come to Brazil. Needless to say, they were very excited. There is a whole documentary of it. You should watch it.

What you just witnessed is a Pure Masterpiece! ☕🇺🇸😎✌️😉☮️🌞

They are known as the 'Gods of Progressive Metal' ❤🇨🇦

RUSH in Rio is one of the best concert videos ever. It was a dvd set. That crowd messed up the band! Actually blew them away.

This was the first tour they did in South America so most of the crowd had never them live. Also; after Neil's daughter and wife died in 1997 many fans had to accept that they might never tour again.

Most satisfying crowd EVER!!!!!! This makes me choke up with emotions. Queen - Love of my Life in RIO is just as satisfying. Best crowd by FAR!

The Rio concert is legendary!! I recommend you watch the By Tor & Snowdog/Cygnus X-1/Working Man medley!! It is insane! La Villa Strangiato is also nuts!

Absolutely! The wall of sound in the last minute of By-Tor through the first minute of Cygnus is magnificent! Addictive, too. There are times where I’ll loop those two minutes five, six times straight.

The hands down best 3 man band of all time! And my favorite band of all time! My friends dont get it but I dont care.

We are sooooooo lucky to have this recording. It's in my mind museum.

Masterful!!! They are incredible!!! Every time I watch this video I get to recharge my batteries!! Powerful and energetic 💪

YYZ is the call sign for the Toronto international Airport. Alex Lifeson the guitarist is also a licensed pilot was flying them back from Le Studio in Quebec. The opening pattern in this song is Morse Code for YYZ. The guys were always happy to see YYZ on their luggage as it meant they were heading home to their families. There were 40,000 people at thus concert.

I suggest checking out the Exit Stage Left recording of this, where that third drum fill leads into an extended solo. Just a little 411 on this: YYZ is the official code for Toronto's Pearson International Airport; Neil's opening pattern is YYZ in Morse Code, which is what they heard in the cockpit as Alex, a licensed pilot, was flying them home for the weekend from Le Studio in Morin Heights, Quebec, where they were recording Moving Pictures; on subsequent tours, whenever they saw YYZ on their luggage tags, they'd know that they were heading home to their families. For another amazing highlight from this show, I recommend 2112. Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🔥 🔥 🔥

I love the Cdn Easter eggs like YYZ the Studio which it's name shoes up again in Spirit od Radio animated video.. I know Max Webster was signed to Anthem and so it would be logical they also shot a video at the studio but for some reason I keep thinking I saw an April Wine video shot there... I know their roots tie back to Mtl. But then again, that's another story 😉

Rush were always a phenomenal band, live. But by this period of their career, when many bands begin to fade, they were an absolute force of nature on stage. The capabilities that only come from a lifetime of honing one's craft came to the perfect boil in their later years.

I was there that night. About 20 meters in front of Lee's microphone. Easily, the best rock concert I ever attended. The music was great and the crowd was incredible. I was exhausted at the end of the night.

Rush can’t be pigeon holed be ready to expect the unexpected , that is what makes them one of the best live Bands of all time , 3 hours of pure honest hard working musicians, There is a drum solo on another tour they did with this song ,

This was the last of three concerts in in Nov 2002 in Brazil, their first visit to South America. They were a nice, celebratory culmination of the Vapor Trails tour. It was appropriate as it was the first tour & album since 1998 when drummer Neil Peart lost his wife and daughter separately. in 1

There's a whole DVD set on this concert. YYZ from the Exit... Stage Left has a drum solo. When a crowd of 40,000 start singing along to an instrumental, you've done something right.

This entire concert is a 4 disc box set, so yeah there's so much more from Rio. I've been to two Rush concerts, and admittedly, I really didn't know anything but their hits the first time, but holy keerist! talk about energy from the fans. It was like this even at a smaller venue, and I just HAD to go a second time after I learned more Rush music. Ear candy galore! BTW, YYZ is the Toronto airport call sign; don't know if you mentioned that, cuz I honestly had to skip right to the music lol.

This is exactly how it is at their concerts. Rush fans are one of a kind. This was during the Vapor Trials tour. This was they comeback 5 years after Test for Echo. You have to watch the documentary The Boys in Brazil and the concert was filmed. This was their first time in Brazil. They were very popular. there. The weather was horrible when they got there. They were not able to have sound checks or practice. This is what makes even more incredible. Think about having a livestream listening to this live concert or video of the concert.

Without question one of the most intense crowd/band dynamics I've ever witnessed.

Awesome ❤! I was lucky enough to grow up with RUSH!😊

Yes, they're playing in a soccer stadium. And that is basically a soccer crowd at a Rush concert.

The opening rhythm pattern in this piece was inspired by the Morse Code for the letters YYZ - which is the code designation of Toronto's International Airport. Brilliant.

They had no idea that they had fans in Brazil. This was their first time there. Boy, did they find out!

You mentioned the drum kit. Neil Peart was the GOAT. You need to check out his solos. Mind blowing.

THE WARNING IS A 3 girl band from Mexico and their sisters. You willing love it.

I was there. Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, 2002. Fantastic!

Yep, Rio crowds are amazing. Also check out “Love of My Life” performed by Queen in Rio.

INDEED!

The song is YYZ, the call letters of the Toronto airport. The first notes in the beginning are the Morse code of Y.Y.Z

When you go to a soccer game and a Rush concert breaks out...

Of course, you've been told to watch the Drum Solo feature from this concert, I'm sure - Neil Peart is a MASTER!

Welcome to Rush world! You Rock brother!

The most enthusiastic audience in the world.

This was from the DVD Rush in Rio...2003. It is the entire show and it's got a bunch of great clips of the band before and after the show, signing autographs and getting off the plane and driving to the gig etc...60,000 fans at this outside show in Rio. The most ironic thing about this is they didn't even know they were big in Brazil and then their PR people let them know that their song "Closer to the Heart" was like one of the all-time most played songs in Brazilian radio history and they found out they had a huge following there, so they set it up and made the trip ( only time they ever played in Brazil and the fan support was out of this world)..tickets were hard to get. You should see the scene when they open the gates from the people who have been waiting hours to get up close to the front. It's 30 songs live with an intermission in the middle it just shows the whole concert. Just buy the DVD... Rush in Rio

5 concerts over 5 decades, 1976 to 2014, and all they got is better.

If you wanna check, there`s a whole youtube album showing why brazilian crowd is the best in the world.

If you had to wait 28 years for Rush to come to your country, you'd be THAT excited, too. So, next? "Roll the Bones" "The Big Money" *Distant Early Warning "

I figured you'd like this. The whole Rush In Rio DVD is worth picking up if you're considering it...

“This is harder than I’m used to”…..I can’t wait for you to get to Vapor Trails and Clockwork Angels.

That drum set is off the chain !!!!! They are my first concert I’ve ever seen.

A week or two back I mentioned this track and location - did I mention the crowd?🤔 LOL Rush and the Rush Army at their finest. 🙃Be well.😉

Such a huge sound coming from 3 guys. I LOVE RUSH. I’ve been such a huge fan since I was 14, 1979, after hearing 2112. Each of them are amazing on their own and combined it’s mind blowing. I’ve seen them several times, 3rd row center at Pine Knob in Michigan for their 30 year anniversary concert.

The best ever !!!!!!!!!

If you haven’t seen it, you must watch Boys In Brazil, the documentary about this tour. Bonus coolness: the film was made by longtime Rush filmer/photographer Andrew McNaughtan, and produced by Geddy Lee’s brother Allan Weinrib. It’s a must-see for every Rush fan. Also, definitely check out “Dinner With Rush” for big laughs; these three men are hilarious!

One of my favorite Rush songs. Nice to hear Alex play some neoclassical flavored lead.

It seems that all of the South American countries go nuts like this during rock concerts. Wait till you see AC/DC at River Platt Stadium in Argentina in 2009

Woo Hoo! 🥰 Rush or we rio..... 😌 Nevermind! 😁🐰

listen again the crowd was singing along

I love the morse code of toronto's pearson international airport at the begining (YYZ)

The Crowd was making up lyrics for this song, by chanting Y-Y-Zed during the chorus instrumentals. I heard the crowd was MASSIVE.

The opening rhythm is morse code for YYZ, the airport code for Toronto.

Signals & Moving Pictures tour, Neil went into a drum solo in the middle of the bass & drums exchange in the middle...my first Rush experience was the Signals tour, December 5, 1982

I have the DVD of this, Rush live in Rio. Unbelievable concert!!!

You get it.

WOW !

Imagine this dream team: billy Joel on piano, Freddy Mercury on lead vocals, Neil Peart on drums ofc, and gene Simmons for bass. That is a rock & roll dream team!

I noticed that you like a lot of the songs with heavy keyboards and synth. Try Power Windows. It’s a great album, at a time where they were experimenting with that stuff a lot. Grand Designs, Manhattan Project, Emotion Detector, Mystic Rhythms…you can’t miss! Thanks for all the Rush reactions, it’s great to see a youngster giving this music a chance!

What it looks and sounds like when 175,000 Brazilians SING ALONG to a Song that HAS NO LYRICS!! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

The drum solo was in the middle of this song for years after it came out. It was that way on the Exit Stage Left live album. They recorded this whole show (Rush in Rio) and it's an amazing concert! Freewill from Time Machine is my vote!

It's like a futbol game!!!! yes, you just said that.

The band had no idea that they were very popular in the South American countries. They were wrong. They were selling out soccer stadiums everywhere they played on that tour. They had retired Closer To The Heart from their set list. The South American promoters said that they had to play it. It was the one song that everybody wanted to hear. You really should check that one out too from that same concert.

Only RUSH can make a song from a Morse code VOR used in aviation

It is one of their best songs.

Awesome

you should watch the documentary of Rush called Beyond the Lighted Stage. it starts with Alex and Geddy meeting in middle school and goes from there

Les Paul sounds exquisite

It's in a soccer stadium

I can't help but notice ~ I don't see anything from Billy Joel's catalog...in YOUR catalog! This must be rectified! May I humbly suggest "Piano Man"? A bit of backstory to entice you; the song is autobiographical. Early in his career, Billy was stuck with a bad management contract, which gave his manager a cut of everything he wrote, performed, everything. So Billy (being a New Yorker) decided he didn't like getting screwed, and went underground on the opposite coast, to wait out the last couple of years of the agreement. He wasn't making much as a lounge pianist, but at least he was getting all of it! He wrote Piano Man based on his own experiences during this time. I wish I could find a link to a good live version (he was a little pitchy at Shea in '08) because for the final chorus, Billy and the band go silent, and the crowd sings their song back to them. Imagine performing with Billy Joel, with 20,000 of your closest friends. It's a pretty cool moment. As an alternative, give a listen to "The Entertainer". It's about the music biz, and Billy pulls NO punches! 😄

Dude...the entire song is 3 solos all being played at the same time...

Rush can't be put into any category of music. True fans refer to it as Rush music.

Yes it’s a harder style. 2112 is harder and more wild kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4SW0cl9adjddrg.html YYZ is the only song from this concert that Rush fans will want you to react to. Our quintessential Rush fan typically enjoys the 90s style of rush, that mirrors bands like Duran Duran, Thompson twins, etc. it’s really sad. Every song that Rush performed at this Rio concert was among the best version of those songs ever played, mostly because of the instruments, and the crowd. 2112 is even better than YYZ from this concert. Rush fans can’t handle it.

Rush in RIO was such a disappointment for me when it came out. The visuals were great, but the sound is terrible. They had some sort of problem with the main recording system and this is what they ended up with. Probably the worst audio of any of their albums. Still..it's Rush.

FAKE REACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAY TOOO MUCH OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) ♥
