I don't even know what to tell you I'm 62 years old I've been listening to Rush since 1973 out of all these years they've never let me down they are the best band ever

I bought the album as soon as I could when it was released..I was 16 and had already seen them in concert once. I was amazed by this song and still love it.

After all these years, I will never get tired of this song and this band. Still got chills watching this again.

You all just Rushed ! Remember, this was live!😉👍😀

One of the greatest live performances ever.

So agree… it’s insane to put out all that sound… with 3 musicians let alone a complete orchestra!!

Amazing how three guys can make that much sound.

We need some keyboards but you're already singing and playing bass. Geddy says "no problem. I'll use my feet."

the bass guitar in this performance is just ridiculous. So good.

Right on. Thanks for sharing.

Excelentes recuerdos, gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Venezuela.

no band in history can touch these three geniuses this was done in 1980 they still had 32 years and twelve albums to go

Some of the greatest drum composition I’ve ever seen. There are sequences in here that will be away every time

Yes, this is a mystical masterpiece!

Great reaction!! One of the best live performances EVER! They have a 40 year catalogue to choose from, so you’re in for a treat!!! God bless… from Texas!!!

A Rush masterpiece when they were at the top of their game! A thinking man's band. Now do 2112 and your fantasy will come to life.

Rush was always at the top of their game compared to most other bands, even on a "bad" day

If you look closely you will see Alex and Getty playing the sound effects with their feet. They play it all themselves.

Great reaction - subscribed.

As with ALL Rush songs, reading the lyrics along with the performance is an absolute *must.* Neil was an incredible word-smith who borrowed his themes from philosophy, mythology, and of course, personal experiences. Without much effort, you’ll find this song is about a quest for immortality, and the realization that it’s a curse. The old sating - be carful what you wish for, you just might get it.

One word: Phenomenal That’s RUSH . Been a devoted fan since 1975. There won’t ever be another RUSH. Thanks to Geddy, Al & Neil for over 40 years of magic.

Dude, you have got to do By-tor an the snow dog and as well the Necromancer… Both songs will take you on a mystical journey, the musicianship from these 3 guys is SICKKKKKKK

Haha... in college I played more than one D&D campaign based on a Rush song. I don't think we did this one, but it would have been an obvious choice. We did play one based on The Fountain of Lamneth.

Alex plays 12 string electric guitar and six string electric while Geddy plays 4 string Bass and 12 string electric guitar on this one(as well as keyboards), and A Roland foot pedal synthesizer with his feet on the floor . Great reaction!!! Love your decision to take a look at this video. Thank you very much for this reaction ! It was great!!

@@garya7893 Geddy’s Rick is actually a 12-string on the bottom. It had me fooled for the longest time because you only see 6 tuning pegs. The other 6 project reward from the guitar. Rickenbacker made the 4080 in both a 6- and 12- string model, but Geddy’s was the 12.

Geddy Lee is an amazing musician, a towering talent. Not only a very good rhythm guitarist but plays a fabulous acoustic guitar.

Listening to Rush takes you on a journey in every song Musically and lyrically The Best Ever 🎸🥁

I love your imagination! You may have a great idea for a short story with this song as the soundtrack. I’m intrigued...great reaction!

2112 next the cartoon version with approx 2.6 million views , follow the lyrics this album saved the band from being dropped by the record company, The record company wanted radio friendly songs Rush did the opposite with this opera about a society that rejects music , and guy finds a guitar and presents it to the leader who rips into him this is a 21 minute classic

Oh now you’ve done it!

I love your imagination! I can so see that vision you had! 😁

Quite the song, it's like an adventure haha, Rush are awesome... Jacob's Ladder

Jacob’s Ladder is another masterpiece… and yet another drum clinic, especially towards the end as Neil dances around the guitar riff with a series of different but interconnected beats. Just beautiful.

Ahhh I am totally the same, I lost interest after Hold Your Fire/Show of Hands. Nothing personal. Just wasn’t the same for me as I grew up.

If you have not reacted to the following, you should: 1. La Villa Striangato any live version 2. 2112 live in Rio 3. Drum solo Frankfurt Germany 4. The camera Eye from Moving Pictures

Amazing time, Amazing musicians.

Could you react to Rush La Villa Strangiato live…..this will get you hooked on instrumentals

D&D? You need to check out 'The Necromancer' by them, big fantasy theme

Anticipating the 2112 reaction! Really looking forward to it.!

Canada says... Your welcome

This would have been a perfect addition to the soundtrack of the movie "Heavy Metal".

Next up is the masterpiece 2112 side 1 minimum. You also don't know how bad you are missing out with using ear buds instead of real over ear phones...

Dude you definitely need to add the group "Yes" to your reactions. Their best songs are "Close to the Edge", "Roundabout", "Yours is no Disgrace", "Going for the One", and "And You and I". Yes was the group that inspired Rush.

Great reaction - you should check out: Rush: By-Tor & The Snow Dog (Lyrics) Don't watch the live version, because they cut half the song. The song is about the producer's two dogs: a German Shepherd nicknamed By-tor (biter) and a poodle nicknamed Snowdog - the song is about the two dogs playing in the snow. You can hear a representation of the Shepherd growling and the poodle yipping - it is hilarious. Neil Peart created an entirely new mythology with the lyrics of this song. kzread.info/dash/bejne/k2WqztprkcLHdKg.html

This is one of my favourite Rush live performances. And the sound quality is amazing for a fan recorded video from 1984. Not sure how a reaction video pans out for what is quite a bleak song from quite a bleak album. P/G is amazing though. It’s dry, post-police sound is still great. Between the Wheels is absolutely the album tour de force. Epic, huge and bleak. Almost the post apocalyptic world that DEW threatens. Even if you don’t react to this, Alex is on fire here. Burning. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eX1kpLluisevfNY.html

Check out LEON RUSSELL. A SONG FOR YOU🤩

🤯 '2112' (Story board Comic version with lyrics), 'Red Barchetta' 😒 or Necromancer may be the next obvious Rush choices. 😉 Yeah, I just threw 🏎️ Red Barchetta in there! 🤗🐰

Please watch Deep Purple Child in Time live 1970…epic performance, 110 million views so far

They should have been on The Big Bang Theory. That would have been cool.

Ridiculous. I'm 48 have seen them maybe 5 times ? Not enough lol. They are true musician musicians

If you think this one is epic you got to listen to 2112

Considered by ALOT of drummers...as the BEST............check out his drum solos..Neil Peart

5 mins of birds bells and synth; Typical ignorant Rush fan…. “ omg this is a masterpiece.” 🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
