The concert opens with a medley without vocals for nearly ten minutes, one song selected from each of the first seven records and the crowd completely enthralled the entire time. Who does that? Rush. Who can get away with it with the fans begging for more? Rush. The transitions were sick! The playing stellar. The band having fun. The fans having fun. That’s what it’s all about.

Jerry Stiller filmed an intro for them, and in it he says “nah, they never play Bangkok”. Then he pops up on the screen again when they start playing that in the medley. 😂 His intro bit is somewhere here on KZread, you oughta check it out. 👍🏻

This is my first time hearing rush and they are great

After your intro I figured as a Rush fan you would name each tune within seconds, and you didn't disappoint!

That was a great reaction. Everything I was hoping for when I requested it. Thank you!!!

U cant go wrong with Rush, amazing how talented they are… Rest in peace Neil Peart ❤️

Brad Poynter, a huge Rush fan who has a channel on here has a theory as to why they did this medley. He thinks they did it this way because Geddy would have a really hard time singing most of these songs and by doing it this way he avoids having to do that and also gives the audience what they want.

There isn't a moment of this whole thing that isn't just stupid-grin fun. But my favorite part is during Spirit of Radio when Alex and Geddy are talking and laughing together center stage clearly having the absolute time of their lives.

You acted as if you were surprised by their talent and genius in being able to put this together beautifully. As if we'd get anything other than greatness from Rush.

Another fun reaction. Rush was always almost perfect, always put on a great show. Saw almost every tour from Presto on. Glad they were able to finish the way they did. Miss them though. RIP Neil Peart

I've listened to this intro lots of times, its so cool to see them open a show this way. I wish I could have seen it in person. Legendary RIP Neil Peart

I saw Rush back in the early 90s on their Roll The Bones tour when Primus opened for them. Best live performance I have experienced.

in the end, Rush (especially live) is about enjoying the music.

That was excellent. Well done David, have to give you a RUSH Red Star. Hold it proudly high in hand. I saw them do Hemispheres live on the original tour for that album, and Cygnus X-1 Book I on the previous tour for A Farewell To Kings.

I had never noticed that the medley was done chronologically. Love these guys so much. Missing Neil!!

2 days ago, I was thinking of how cool it would be for you to react to this. Amazing

Great reaction sir.. RUSH=LEGENDS!!

The medley went in order of their albums, Finding My Way from their 1st album, Anthem from the 2nd and so on...

In that tour they used the South Park intro for Tom Sawyer, it's very funny how Cartman gives the entrance

Great review, and I agree, Hemispheres au complet! More Rush please.
