The missing song. The holy grail. It would be so cool if they released a properly recorded live version of this song.

Yes, hard to believe they never trotted this or Kid Gloves out on tour again. Both killer tunes. Alex's chordal solos are beyond cool -- love the way the middle section gradually builds, till he finally digs in.

Hoping this will happen when they reissue Grace in 2024. A full concert video would be awesome too. Ive heard the entire show was filmed.

I loved Geddys singing this period

No words can describe Alex's guitar solo in this song it just fits the entire mood of the song so well!!

I believe his solo on "Red Sector A" is so spot on in capturing the somber haunting mood of the story/message of the lyrics . Coupled with his brilliant use of harmonics and tremelo....pure genius

Anybody else here right after hearing of Neil's death? "Suddenly you were gone / From all the lives you left your mark upon." And what a mark it is.

I agree!!! One of my all time favorite songs from Rush !!!! Guitar has such strong emotions !!!!

One of the VERY BEST rock bands of all time. Period.

Now its as if Neil was writing how we'd feel about him. That the great power trio is down to two is incomprehensible to me. Time Stand Still and take me back to being young and full of hope in the gloriously fun 80s ....

Missing him terribly. Thankfully we have memories and youtube.

WoW! Never thought I'd see this song live. One of my all time fave Rush tunes and I'm a bassist to boot. Go figure. Alex's guitar work weaving chords and single note melodies together in the solo and throughout the song is nothing short of God like. Thanks for posting

J’étais présent à ce concert à Montréal. WoW … près de 40 ans déjà… tout jeune … pas certain que dans l’excitation du spectacle que j’ai noté tous les détails de leurs performances. C’est vraiment cool de revoir le tout après tout ce temps…. Une famille de 3 enfants et plusieurs boulots plus tard. La voix de Geddy en effet était à son meilleur.

Imagine being in the studio when they first laid this gem down!! #epic

YES! Found footage of this incredible song live! RIP Robbie Whelan and RIP Neil Peart.

oh the memories when we were young and healthy

doubted they would have ever performed this live.

One of the heaviest songs they've ever done. I like the jacked-up tempo...

i literally just shed a tear knowing that i wont ever get to hear RUSH (especially peart, he is just nuts in the video) at such a pinnacle as this.. born in '93 love you all

This is one of my favorite rush songs. A great tribute to robbie Whelan neils friend.

aaaaaaaa, I can't believe that at least once they played this masterpiece live.

Honestly all the concerts I've went to not one band can match Rush. They sound just like the record live

it's a weird phenomena that only really happens with music and recorded videos of old performances... the video looks every bit of 35/36 years old and yet the song, despite certain stylistic elements doesn't really feel old or dated or comparable to what I'm looking at

lost my brother in law suddenly - his brother read this at his wake.So powerful and true. Rush comes through in tough times again!!!!!!!!

I was there.Best show I ever saw.Those guys recorded at Morin-Heights.The best studio in Canada and now it's empty and dying.There's even an old piano lonely and dying with the rest of the building.It's very sad.That studio made everyone proud in Quebec.Everyone new about a studio nestled in the Laurentian forest cause a lot big names recorded there;The Police,Bowie,Bee Gees,April Wine and of course Rush.Having one of the best recording console it shouldn't have to close.Now it is silent.

Which pixel is Geddy? I kid, I kid! Great video. Their 'Grace Under Pressure' album has really become one of my favorites over the last couple of years. Thanks for posting this.

Man I wish I'd seen them on this tour. The songs from Signals and GuP sounded awesome live and this was absolutely bang on. I never knew Afterimage was ever played in concert.

I know, this is definitely one of my favourites. Slim chance they'll play it on tour now, though, especially after Neil's tragedy. :-(

beautiful song, grace under pressure is a very overlooked album.

Your vids are priceless. Thank you!! I so wish they would play this now!!

Great stuff ive always wanted to hear this live by rush, cheers for posting.

That was my first of 37 Rush concerts.

Just gotta say and agree with Northboy70 that the live versions of the grace under pressure album totally smoke the studio versions. Alex's guitar is so much more alive, angry even. The guitar work on Grace Under Pressure was superior to the muffled washed out signals sound. Every solo kicked Arse! Thanks boys for the great music, and thanks Femurs for posting these gems!

Wow i never knew they played this live thank you for recording these its gold

such a powerful song: "and suddenly you were gone, from all the lives you've left your mark upon." One of my favorite (and saddest) Rush songs. Well, almost every Rush song is my favorite, but this just has a certain power to it that's hard to describe. 5 stars, and thanks for the upload :D

So fast! Incredible... And i was there....... Thanks for posting

One of my favorite songs off that album.....the guitar solo is great.....

I saw the show from this tour at the Cow Palace in SF in 1984. Amazing concert, this song and

My favorite instrumental within a song. The roaring crowd actually drowns out Alex's guitar instrumental! lol

I really wish I had been able to catch this tour. I didn't see them until the next album. This is my favorite song from Grace Under Pressure..

Indeed one of the very best songs of the entire catalog. Wish we had a better copy video and audio.

Did anyone else notice how much Geddy does on this track? Vocals + bass lines on one keyboard and a synth background on a second keyboard…..the work of three ordinary musicians!

I saw this live. Not this concert specifically, but I remember this tour. P/G yes, I saw it.

Fantastic song from the early days. Good to see some live footage still exists on it. I would hope it would be considered for any future tours. Drop Between the Wheels and add this tune ;)

rush una de mis favoritas canciones

Fack!! Miss Neil bigtime. Time to put Hemispheres on. 🙏

Awesome, AWESOME song.

Still require one daily dose of this song..

I think alot of people that don't get Rush fail to understand their affinity for a bit of cinema in their music. Many times I find myself thinking about moments in movies that align with a lyrics or musical passage as I listen to their songs. Its something I wish would return in modern music.

Increible!!!

Great song live. When I saw Grace under Pressure late Nov.1984 in Providence, RI they didn't play this one. I was hoping when GUP was rereleased, this and other forgotten gems would be on the DVD. Maybe someday, thanks for posting

Yep, stay tuned, it's coming up! :-)

This was the first concert I ever went to. I was 16. Miss those days. How come concerts don't have lasers like they used to?

Body Electric were the standouts from this album. Would love for,them to bring back this song to a live show

What Passion! ... WHHOWW! .. RUSH RULES! :-))

Je me souviens d'une bonne grosse pof de H Jamaicain pendant le solo... Là devant les boyz rangée 2 centré sur la glace du Colisé de Québec juillet 84... Je suis né juste à temps

@cjackdrummer Yes, that man's name was Robbie Whelan, Rush's assistant manager since Permanent Waves. In fact, in the liner notes of Grace Under Pressure, it says, "In memory of Robbie Whelan". About Ghost Rider, they played it only on the Vapor Trails tour. But that deals directly with what Neil was going through in the late 90s. So, if he can get through that... you never know!

TALENT FOR MILES!!!!!! NUFF SAID.....

is difficul to find more videos of this song alive.... near today...2007.08.09,.....

So this is definitely one of my favorite Rush songs and I'm seeing all these comments about a challenger blowing up what exactly do y'all mean if you don't mind to shed some light on this

I REMEMBER

At least they still have the light show. :)

I just realized that with all the tours post '84, they never played this live since the GRACE UNDER PRESSURE tour. :(

@spitfire71068 AHA Well, 10-4, 10-4. You are impressive for your research efforts. I can imagine how they may have juggled/shuffled the setlist(s) for this tour. I do recall by the time they made it to Vancouver (my first RUSH show, Front Row May 19 1984) the only song from P/G unplayed was Kid gloves. Interesting, cuz I never knew they did it live until I saw it online... : ) So I totally hear you on your memory and fact-checking. : ) PS- I have tons of new RUSH vids on my channel

I didn't realize they had cell phone cameras back then. 🤣🤣I was hoping to see how the parts were played when they did this song live.

it`s difficlut to find more videos of this song on youtube, or other.....

Rush played every song from this album on the tour which, if memory serves me correctly, was the only time they had done this. I love this album, but the live versions from the '84 tour smoke the album versions. I really wish these would have all been included on the Grace Under Pressure Tour video, which only showcases 3 songs from the album!

the original music video is so tough to find, it as been on and off youtube from years,. I don't know if it's cause copyright issues or something, however you can find lots of other music videos of rush here, lol.

@spitfire71068 On the TFE Tour I saw Al flip out over a volume situation (probably monitors)... He kept giving the "up" sign, then after the song was over took off his guitar and walked over and gave someone an ear full. We're all human! hehe... Glad I wasn't that monitor (or whoever got chewed out) guy!

Notice that Geddy isn't even wearing his bass. Only two other songs (I can think of) that he does that for are Red Sector A, and Scars.

@Cygnusx27 yes, amazing love band, best i have ever seen, and thru the 70's and 80's i saw a lot of bands, including moody blues, pink floyd, tull, zepellin and robin trower, Rush wins the contest in my mind as being the band that sounds as good live as on record, maybe better!!!

That's how it is now. With Neil's first wife and daughter dead, it would be too hard for him to play this one. The day you see Rush play this song again, you will know that Neil has found peace with their deaths.

Stick Hits needs to do his magic to this video. This gem could use a bit of polishing.

the reason why i listen this song is Alex’s guitar solo and lee’s voice..ye

There's a website where you can read about what Neil's doing now. He's remarried and has a baby daughter. He wrote "like" 5 books to self heal from the tragedy that happened about 10 years before that....Just Google his name....The year 1984 was "between Karmapa's". 1 of the 2 top choices was born, but the guy who's now the 17th Karmapa had not shown up. The other was a toddler that year.

me too

@spitfire71068 Ya know, it's funny that they seldom even have a glitch, at least that us fans see. I kind of like seeing the glitches, like the vid on KZread where Al's guitar goes dead in the middle of the song. That stuff is kind of interesting.

they use them for dreamline and other songs still today

Stirring guitar solo

So is this the only live video or audio available of this song? Not aware of any bootlegs.

this is pretty sweet. kinda a sad song tho...

@RollTheFemers hey man this song was actaully written to a man who knew tha band and was in a car accident neil has a more emotional response to the song "Ghost Rider" and i think this osng would be more ressurected than Ghost rider due to neils tragedy

RUSH still uses lasers (unless I'm having a flashback everytime I see them).

when was geddy's voice shot?

@spitfire71068 Are you sure it was dropped?

Suddenly you were gone from all the lives you left your mark upon. R.I.P. Michael Jackson 1958-2009

Did they play Bastille Day?

Rush should bring lazers back for this song only, if they would incorporate Afterimage back into a tour.......
