Try these links. There’s audio, but no video of them playing the full song. I know it’s not the same as going to see them live, but it’s still something. They played both Book 1 & 2 live in 1978 and 1979. They also played them on the Permanent Waves tour, but they excluded some parts. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZJyKt5dpiLrens4.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/gZ9nmtuyd8jFkZM.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKWlxLGMaZrLpbg.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/jJya29imp8ytZsY.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/eXuNubCEobjdpM4.html

Rush's darkest song.

CYGNUS X-1 is the pinnacle of the RUSH sound. How can anyone with a pulse not think this is the best thing ever ?

An absolute opener. This trio is the real deal.

Watching this brought a tear to me. I remember seeing them on their Falwell to Kings tour and this song was brand new.

Wow! If these guys keep at it, they might be a really good band one day!

FUCK, I wish they'd play the full version of books I & II live! I'd do anything to see them live if I knew in advance!

I wish they could. They did play all of The Voyage, and most of Hemispheres on the Permanent Waves tour. My first Rush concert.

Love to see them feeding off the energy of the crowd and vice versa

In addition to being the most awesome band ever, Rush was also the first band to put a washing machine into space.

1:18 Podem falar o que quiserem... Para mim esse é o riff mais pesado já criado na afinação padrão! Neil Peart, Lee e Lifeson arrebentaram! Este som acerta sua cabeça como uma Honda Hornet entrando pelo para brisa de um carro!

That audience must've lost their marbles when this came up. Holy crap. This DVD sat me down and reminded me what a Rush fan I was years after I had been adrift. I am very sorry. VERY SORRY to have ever wandered away from RUSH.

So heavy and perfect!!!!

Absolutely amazing bass work!!! Probably their best bass performance yet!

Rush is my occasional reminder that human perfection does indeed exist. They never accepted the phrase "never let perfection get in the way of good enough". There was no "good enough" for Rush. Only perfection.

Damn alex tearin it up !!WOOO

How to turn a simple riff into the ultimate monster!

Demasiado fuerte para la mente...espectacular.. too much hard to the mind..spectacular.

I wish i could see if Geddy Lee could still hit those high notes at the end of the song

@sergioflores7811

Pheminon I doubt it, those high notes at the end of the song are pretty hard to pull off, some of the highs he does throughout they're catalog are just F'n inhuman, they're almost king diamond-ish xD is quite sad though, I really love Geddy's voice, and yeah, I know his voice is starting to show signs of fatigue, but who can blame him, I'd like to see someone else tour incessantly for well over 40 years pretty much non-stop ans still preserve his voice almost pristine as he has, also, they're playing superbly, most young bands wish they had the stamina and endurance (and most importantly the talent) these guys have, it's truly admirable.

I read that for the Cygnus series, they lower the entire vocal range by an octave to accomodate his aging voice.

@jamesweldon9726

Pheminon - He can't hit the high notes anymore, and by all accounts, he is ok with that. He was in his mid twenties when FTK and Hemispheres were recorded, and laying down the vocals for those albums, let alone singing them 200 nights a year, nearly ended his singing career then. It's why he completely changed his singing style for Permanent Waves. If you listen to what he's been saying for the last twenty years or more, it's clear that his real musical passion is playing the bass. He doesn't care so much about playing keyboards or singing - he wouldn't do either, if he could get away with it. He loves playing bass. It's what he is best at.

@jamesweldon9726

Felken - That's partially true. For many of their older songs, they tune the instruments down a half or full step (not octave) to make it easier for him to sing the song. On some songs, like "2112" or "Circumstances", it sounds great. Others, not so much. It's part of the reason we haven't seen them do songs like "Beneath, Between and Behind" or "In The End" since the early 80s.

@jamesweldon9726

7 жыл бұрын

Felken - Also, side 1 of Hemispheres was always too high for Geddy to sing comfortably. They didn't realize it until they had recorded almost all of the instruments. Back then, it would have blown their already maxed out recording budget to fix it. So Geddy really struggled with the vocals.

Outstanding!

marvelous, how smug, i sit here being a Rush fan....

Teaching the kids how to do it when they were into their 50's. Heavy as fuck. None darker or heavier.

They were especially on fire in Brazil. You have to be.

A defining moment in 70s space/Prog Rock. I think this and Xanadu are my favorites of all time.
