If you can play a number of Rush songs on guitar you will notice how the chord shapes are connected. Absolutely, Alex has a style all his own, the mark of a true master! Its one thing for us to be able to play his guitar work, and something else completely to conceive it. The same can be said for Geddy and Neil. I warm up by playing Rush everytime I pick up a guitar or Bass. But, with drums, I may be able to keep a beat in time. But don't even know where to start, if attempting to play anything by Neil.

I still think the solo starting at 3:35 is the greatest guitar solo in rock history. Those swells Alex does at the begining are tougher than they sound. Many people think it opens with keyboard. Nope, that's all guitar.

Every time I hear this song I cry... I've been studying music for many years and I don't understand where so much creativity and good energy can come from... I feel a brotherly love for this music...

Everyone finally caught up with what Rush fans always knew. Rush are the best.and most brilliant inventive musicians (along with Pearts outstanding lyrics)

One of the greatest rock instrumentals ever recorded! The guitar solo during "A Lerxst In Wonderland" still gives me chills! And drumming this song is quite a workout but a lot of fun to do!

That is one amazing solo! let me rephrase that: One amazing song! let me rephrase that: One amazing album! let me rephrase that: One amazing band!

No band will ever replicate anything as awesome as la villa

The pure genius from 3:40 to 5:15 is the only guitar that rivals David Gilmour's Comfortably Numb in its ability to just take me away to a special place of goofy grins and utter disbelief that such magic is capable of being produced at the hands of mortal men. Simply glorious!!

I don't think the video has anything to do with Peart's cancer. The album is called "Hemispheres", and the cover shows a man in a suit and a naked ballet dancer, who are both standing on opposite hemispheres of the brain (commonly referred to as the "logical" and "creative" sides of the brain). So that's why the video shows lots of brains. And the street signs are there because of the name of a part of the song.

It takes a Rush fan brain to appreciate their three brains. Clearly the guys’ calling to their fan base. We love you Dirk, Lerxst and Professor.

Vevo and KZread are quite interested in Rush in 2018. This 40-year-old song just got a fresh, high-definition concept video attached to it. You don't see too many other old musicians, singers, and artists having their old music repackaged in this way. Maybe there's something to this band's music - something that still is exciting and refreshing that can can continue to attract media giants for exploitation and profit.

"Hemispheres" reminds me of Pink Floyd's "Animals" - it may not be their biggest commercial success, but it was their most self-realized playing. By the way: Pape Danforth is the address of the Toronto Library.

When they wrote thisz they tried and tried to record it in one take, and couldn't do it. Yet, they then made ot a staple of their live shows. Incredible!

About time to upload this masterpiece

The best instrumentation note for note in the history of music. Not taking any suggestions, objections, etc.

Encore Leeds Queens Hall 1980 when I saw them,still my favourite instrumental by far ❤

That thing holding the 3 brains is the very device Geddy, Neil, and Alex used to write this song. They literally had to invent a device that could unlock 100% of human brain capacity in order to learn enough about music to write this song. I'm not lying...and even if I am, it's still believable

could be a soundtrack for a car or motocycle rancing documentary , super instrumental song !!!!!!

I've never met a Rush fan who wasn't a nice person, that says it all.

Meu pai amava e ainda ama escutar as músicas dessa banda, ele tá me incentivando e eu tô amando.

How they get to conceive such a magical song!!? Number 1 for me since I discovered it back in 1998 and Neil Peart drums just blew my mind. I was learning paradiddles...

RUSH!!! Rush!!!rush!!! Eargasm at it's finest. Lerxt Pratt Dirk=RUSH.one of the greatest progressive rock bands ever to walk the face of the Earth. We have assumed all control.

This is your brain. And this is your brain on Rush.....any questions?

5:48 I definitely hear Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" in there, a tune used in many Warner Bros. cartoons.

Remastering of this track has improved sound quality a lot!

Learning this on drums right now! I have everything nailed except Monsters (both parts need some minor tuning up) and the ghost of aragon (starting at 6:09 and going to 6:19.) Wish me luck!

B.B. King and company would listen to this before each show mostly. He loved it. Saw him twice. Always missed.

Masterpiece.
