Great reaction y’all! Neil actually used to play with matched grip until right before this album Test for Echo! He decided in the mid 90’s, he wasn’t feeling loose enough. So after 20 yrs of being one of the best drummers in the world, he thought he could do better and started studying with the jazz drummer Freddie Gruber! After about a year he totally reinvented his style and played traditional from then on! RESPECT!! Be well and God bless… from Texas!!

Ged, always, "loaded himself up." He needed to in the near future (from the time that this album was recorded). He wasn't playing keyboards NEARLY as much, here, so he didn't use the bass pedals often [He doesn't on "Natural Science"!] ...but throughout the '80s & '90s, he played Taurus bass pedals while he was playing keyboard, with his hands AND (of course!) singing. Rush were a band who, unlike MANY others: THOUGHT about HOW they would play things, live, while they were conceiving them & recording them, in the studio,. Obviously, they could layer, double, etc., while recording ...BUT; when you bring that to a live audience??? How are you going to make it sound "the same" (or, at least "acceptably similar?"!). RUSH always thought about that and wrote and arranged their parts so that: they COULD do that; AS a trio!; WITHOUT additional instrumentalists (which, as you know, was and is a common thing, for bands who have multiple, layered parts or sounds, etc.!) added/needed. This is another reason that they were so lauded (sometimes: OVERmuch!!) and respected by their fans: they didn't "cheat" anyone. They gave you more than you were expecting and never brought attention to it. It wasn't like: "-Yo! ...Check-out what I'm doing here!!!!" No. It was: "Does this sound right, to you? Good. -....Moving forward. .... ...let's dig this together, peeps... You vibin' with me??... All right!...." ---Of course, "Natural Science" was, more of, the "fans who want 'Hemispheres, II' will want this" track song ...while they [the band] were, already, breaking into an area they had no, real, brook with, earlier: radio friendly material. -Which started, definitely, with THIS album and with: "The Spirit Of Radio" ! --expanding VOLUMINOUSLY, with the follow-up: Moving Pictures and "Limelight" and "Tom Sawyer" ...and, then the SIGNALS album, on the back of that ("Subdivisions", "New World Man" ...maybe: "The Analog Kid" - etc.!).

What an awesome treat for my Friday afternoon! Great reaction guys. This brings back memories, amazing, but hazy ones - there was numerous 'clouds' around us that night! I was at this very show in Toronto, in fact, this was my first Rush show!! (and not to be the last) I distinctly remember when this song was played - talk about blown away! Indeed, the sound these 3 make (with no backing tracks, extra touring musicians, etc.) - everything you hear is played LIVE! Multitasking at it's absolute finest - and insanely tight. The transitions, doesn't matter what song, is seamless & spot on. This same concert was the first time they played 2112 in entirety - to end the first half of the show (there was no opener, it was 3 hours of Rush!) - atmosphere was perfect. Hot summer night, breeze off Lake Ontario, sweet smells in the air, and 3 hometown boys rocking our socks off! This was a special night! Cheers.

My understanding of Neil Peart's technique is limited, to say the least, but if memory serves, he played matched grip until he did a tribute for Buddy Rich called "Burning for Buddy." Since Buddy Rich played traditional grip, he felt inspired to learn it as well.

Neil, only, started using trad. grip (and, really: "split-grip" or "mixed-grip" -I forget what it's called, most commonly🤷-apologies-), sometimes; later in his career. He began to study jazz in the early '90s for the first time and "learned to swing" (which, yes: he NEVER did in the '70s or '80s!). It didn't really suit his style! ...BUT it gave him a new perspective on playing and approach! ...so, yes: he would alternate ...and I don't know what specific periods he preferred or employed "mixed-grip" (or whatever you call that🤷🤷: one underhand, one overhand). [I am not that devoted a "Neil-head" that I know, "to the day,"🙄🤦 what he was doing or thinking (and there, definitely, ARE guys like that out there!!)]. ...but it was not something (as you, yourself, noticed-and mentioned) that he did for a long period of his career. It was a later development.

Live Rush backing it up ... But the studio version is a real dreamscape with it turned up, curtains closed, a bowl or five... But Rush is the best band live in concert. Unfair to other bands perhaps, but Rush concerts up to Power Windows were something beyond words so amazing.
With Rush always expect the unexpected
Gotta love Alex Lifeson's bowl cut.
The BEST 3 man band for lots of years and sure miss them.😢😊
Another awesome pick.💞
With Rush...even songs that are not my favorite, are *still* a masterclass in composition, production, polyrhythm, creativity, taking risks and chances, technical skills, erudite concepts, and professionalism. These guys are second to none...
Neil did play traditional when he was young he switched back and fourth between traditional and Match grip his childhood drum teacher taught him Traditional , in mid life he took more lessons with Jazz great Peter Erkine And master teacher Freddy Grubber , even though he was considered a accomplished drummer he never stopped learning
My first concert 1976BC (Before Corona)Halifax, Nova Scotia, iconic north of the 49,peace
Gotta say with Rush, not only do you get an amazing musical experience, but if you follow along, you get some of the best lyrics a musician has ever written. In light of the movie in theaters, I need to recommend "Manhattan Project". For that one especially, have the lyrics ready! :)
Great.Test For Echo from the same show.Insanely good live...
Neil occasionally used traditional grip throughout his career with Rush. You can see it on the 1981 Exit..Stage Left video of Xanadu, among others. In most cases Rush's live performance is nearly identical to the studio version.
I wish you guys could’ve seen them in concert, amazing stuff.
Neil is almost always all business when he's behind his kit. These guys were my first concert in '81 at age 13. Doobies just getting passed down the row and another one comes right back. Damn, I was high!! 🤘🏻Long Live Neil Peart🤘🏻❤

Was fortunate to see them live 5 times and they never disappointed. 😎
ALL Rush songs were made to be performed live, even if they were extremely challenging to perform. This was because Rush so valued and respected their audience that they refused to make music in the studio that their fans would not be able to hear when they toured.

My favorite two bands for pulling off intricate songs perfectly have always been Rush and Radiohead both band play everything live.
Amazing live take 🔥
the lyrics in this song is one of neil’s best IMO.
He's a bad, bad man. Back beating the back beat.
Apparently, Neil Peart would switch his left hand grasp between a traditional hold on the stick, left palm up, right palm down, and the other being both palms down. That takes skill. R.I.P. Neil
Thanks, guys. Best band ever. Hopefully lots more Rush to come
More Great stuff to come from this album...!
Ged, always, "loaded himself up." He needed to in the near future (from the time that this album was recorded). He wasn't playing keyboards NEARLY as much, here, so he didn't use the bass pedals often [He doesn't on "Natural Science"!] ...but throughout the '80s & '90s, he played Taurus bass pedals while he was playing keyboard, with his hands AND (of course!) singing. Rush were a band who, unlike MANY others: THOUGHT about HOW they would play things, live, while they were conceiving them & recording them, in the studio,. Obviously, they could layer, double, etc., while recording ...BUT; when you bring that to a live audience??? How are you going to make it sound "the same" (or, at least "acceptably similar?"!). RUSH always thought about that and wrote and arranged their parts so that: they COULD do that; AS a trio!; WITHOUT additional instrumentalists (which, as you know, was and is a common thing, for bands who have multiple, layered parts or sounds, etc.!) added/needed. This is another reason that they were so lauded (sometimes: OVERmuch!!) and respected by their fans: they didn't "cheat" anyone. They gave you more than you were expecting and never brought attention to it. It wasn't like: "-Yo! ...Check-out what I'm doing here!!!!" No. It was: "Does this sound right, to you? Good. -....Moving forward. .... ...let's dig this together, peeps... You vibin' with me??... All right!...." ---Of course, "Natural Science" was, more of, the "fans who want 'Hemispheres, II' will want this" track song ...while they [the band] were, already, breaking into an area they had no, real, brook with, earlier: radio friendly material. -Which started, definitely, with THIS album and with: "The Spirit Of Radio" ! --expanding VOLUMINOUSLY, with the follow-up: Moving Pictures and "Limelight" and "Tom Sawyer" ...and, then the SIGNALS album, on the back of that ("Subdivisions", "New World Man" ...maybe: "The Analog Kid" - etc.!).

Neil had only recently at this point changed his attack on the drums. Learning traditional grip from jazz percussionist Freddie Gruber. So good eye on you guys noticing. GREAT reaction!!!!
This show is RUSH in da Prime !! 😎 Rock on !! 🎸 A must do would be "working man " live in cleveland
Three most technically proficient musicians in rock history.
He switches his grip, often. You can see it in the drum solo.
Try "La Villa Strangiato", the live version from 1978 for a TV show, I believe it is also considered an "official video".
Happy 70th birthday Geddy Lee👍

Tight tight tight song
What an awesome treat for my Friday afternoon! Great reaction guys. This brings back memories, amazing, but hazy ones - there was numerous 'clouds' around us that night! I was at this very show in Toronto, in fact, this was my first Rush show!! (and not to be the last) I distinctly remember when this song was played - talk about blown away! Indeed, the sound these 3 make (with no backing tracks, extra touring musicians, etc.) - everything you hear is played LIVE! Multitasking at it's absolute finest - and insanely tight. The transitions, doesn't matter what song, is seamless & spot on. This same concert was the first time they played 2112 in entirety - to end the first half of the show (there was no opener, it was 3 hours of Rush!) - atmosphere was perfect. Hot summer night, breeze off Lake Ontario, sweet smells in the air, and 3 hometown boys rocking our socks off! This was a special night! Cheers.

My understanding of Neil Peart's technique is limited, to say the least, but if memory serves, he played matched grip until he did a tribute for Buddy Rich called "Burning for Buddy." Since Buddy Rich played traditional grip, he felt inspired to learn it as well.
I was there. I saw it all!
Great reaction!! This is one of my all-time favorite songs, by Rush. Do yourselves a favor and listen to the studio version. While these three musical Gods, are the best live performers, listen to the production of the studio version and revel in their innovation. See what you think.

This version adds an extra stanza? (I don't know what it's called) at 2:28 that's not on the studio version. I think the song itself benefits from the repeat and makes it my preference over the OG version.

Studio version of this awesome song is much, much better. I attended 6 Rush shows in 3 states over a 2 decade span, certain songs of theirs don't translate as well to a live show, this is one of them.

Geddy said that this was one of his favorite songs to play live. "It’s one of those songs that has improved with time. On record, parts of it seem a bit stilted to me. But now, when we play it live that allows us to give that song its full power."

Well, if he said so okay, not to my ears though. I guess the dropped second guitar solo is part of what he refers to as stilted and I strongly disagree.
Neil, only, started using trad. grip (and, really: "split-grip" or "mixed-grip" -I forget what it's called, most commonly🤷-apologies-), sometimes; later in his career. He began to study jazz in the early '90s for the first time and "learned to swing" (which, yes: he NEVER did in the '70s or '80s!). It didn't really suit his style! ...BUT it gave him a new perspective on playing and approach! ...so, yes: he would alternate ...and I don't know what specific periods he preferred or employed "mixed-grip" (or whatever you call that🤷🤷: one underhand, one overhand). [I am not that devoted a "Neil-head" that I know, "to the day,"🙄🤦 what he was doing or thinking (and there, definitely, ARE guys like that out there!!)]. ...but it was not something (as you, yourself, noticed-and mentioned) that he did for a long period of his career. It was a later development.
Love the transitions and changes in this song. Especially 6:30
😂 My diabolical plan worked! 🤗 I was hoping you noticed Neil's 🥁 hand grip.... 😁 Which means everyone will be requesting 'Neil Peart Drum Solo Live in Frankfurt'! 😊 We literally got a Drum solo during every 3+hr show they did! 🥰🐰
Crazy that at one point their label was going to drop them before 2112. LEGENDS!!!

I love the title of this song. There has been an ongoing divisive argument between Science and Nature, and even Creation vs Evolution. It's all so silly. IT'S ALL THE SAME THING! It is Nature and natural. The arguments will continue, and that's natural and science. Humans are silly creatures sometimes. We must laugh at ourselves.
To truly understand Rush you need start from the beginning like you did with Zeppelin
Please do Rush "Digital Man" live, you two will love it!
If you guys liked this song check out entre nous and different strings. These three are among my absolute favorite RUSH songs.
After 20 years of playing drums Neil start Ed to take lessons again thus the change up of his grip. Humble God
Brilliant lyrics in this one if you go back and check it out. RUSH!!
Back for a Rewatch during my break! Also saw y'all did 🥨🤔 Checking that next! 🥰🐰
