Sorry, not me. Cool little story, yeah. But due to the Story-telling nature, it just rambles and repeats too much, once you've become familiar with it. It just doesn't have much musical interest for me, compared to many other RUSH songs. It's OK, just kinda bores me. No biggie.

Interesting to hear from a Rush fan. I can’t rank Rush songs, due to the vast discography that ever changes. Depends on the mood for me. Which what makes Rush so great. They have a song for so many moods. Personally love this song for the storytelling, but I love Rush in general. Do you have top 10? Curious

The song was inspired by the futuristic short story "A Nice Morning Drive [1]", written by Richard Foster and published in the November 1973 issue of Road & Track magazine. The story describes a similar future in which increasingly stringent safety regulations have forced cars to evolve into massive Modern Safety Vehicles (MSVs), capable of withstanding a 50-mile-per-hour (80 km/h) impact without injury to the driver. Consequently, drivers of MSVs have become less safety-conscious and more aggressive, and "bouncing" (intentionally ramming) the older, smaller cars is a common sport among some.[2] Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart made several attempts to contact Foster during the recording of Moving Pictures but Road & Track did not have an up-to-date address and Rush were forced to settle for a brief "inspired by" note in the lyric sheet mentioning the story. In July 2007, Foster and Peart finally made contact with each other.[3] Foster later posted on his website an account of their journey by motorcycle through the backwoods of West Virginia between stops on Rush's 2007 Snakes & Arrows Tour.

When I was in film school in the early 80's, I wrote a script for a short film based on this song. Everyone loved my script but couldn't get any student grants or funding to pursue it. A futuristic film set in an age when combustion engine were outlawed. My young protagonist would hop a train(electric) to the country outside the city limits to visit his old uncle. In the barn his uncle had kept, restored an old muscle car, a Red Barchetta. When his uncle dies because of gov't red tape, our hero takes the car and drives it into the city and creates a headache for the gov't by showing the population of what their lives could be...and the future police in their giant hovercraft(air cars) chase him. They lose him when their hovercraft are too large to fit on a bridge leading out to the country... so he can bury his grandfather.

This song shows their genius in using odd time signatures. The guitar solo shifts to 7/4 which is cool, but when they come out the the solo they play an instrumental riff they’ve repeated before. This riff had always been in 4/4, but after the solo, they drop a full beat off every second measure - one bar of 4/4 and one of 3/4. They essentially stay in 7/4 after the solo. This gives the impression of speeding up, without actually increasing tempo, right as they go into the third verse - the chase scene! Listen to that again. It’s just subtly masterful. Cheers!

Yeah, that Monte Carlo SS in black with red pin stripes was a beast. My first car came in 1984/1985. I lusted after the '69-'73 mustangs but wound up with a '75 Camaro instead. It was canary yellow with a stock 328. I had a 350 with a 4-bolt main from a totaled Chevy truck installed, to which was added headers and a shift kit. I had it painted midnight blue and topped it off with Craiger SST dish mag wheels. Much Rush was played in that vehicle...

Great reaction Church Boy!! Not French, but Italian - often attributed to the '48 Ferrari 166MM, but Barchetta is a term used for a two-seat car without any kind of roof (not a convertible, but no roof...period) Rush members, rarely, if ever, over play in a song (IMHO) - sure they can go nuts, now and again, but when they do, it's ALWAYS in service of the song! When Alex needs to shred, he'll shred. When Geddy needs a crazy bass run, he'll do it. When Neil has to play every tom he has - it will be there - but it's all to fill the spaces as required. Such a great song. Cheers.

The thing with understanding Rush songs is to live in the story. Their musical talent along with the lyrics provides synergistic imagery in ones thoughts that enables you to experience the concept of the song. Try not to focus on a guitar solo, or drum parts, or bass playing. Yes, their talent is legendary and an inspiration, but focusing on just that and you miss out on Rush music as a whole. In this song, the name of the car does not matter. Picture what they are saying. It is a time where motor cars are outlawed. The society is utopian and controlled which is why the young man must sneak through the fences to visit his uncle in the country. His uncles is obviously a non conformist which is why he is outside the fence. When he sees his uncle, they uncover the old car that is kept hidden due to the motor laws. The take it out for a drive and picture in your mind riding in the country air with the wind in your face and the thrill of breaking the law and riding in the forbidden car. Then the motor patrol comes after them, but they escape and hide the car again in the barn. After, they sit around the fire reminiscing of the old days. Understand the story and what is being portrayed and how the music enhances the story will give you an even greater appreciation of Rush.

Barchetta is actually pronounced barketta - italian for little boat. It is a car with no roof - and the actual car that Neil wronte this song is a 1948 Ferrari 166 MM . While Neil built up an impressive car collecton - recenly sold at auction - most of his cars were silver and he never owned a red Ferrari - but he did say in a few interviews that the 48 166MM was his grail car.
@av4022923 күн бұрын
Barchetta (Italian pronunciation: [barˈketta]) is an Italian word commonly translated into English as "little boat". The term originally referred to a small skiff used for recreational purposes. It is also applied to some items of clothing, as well as being used in automobile styling, where it describes a class of open-top, two-seat sports cars. When applied to an automobile, barchetta describes a small car that is open-topped, without provision of a removable or foldable top for weather protection. Instead of a full windshield, the barchetta has a low-rise transparent wind deflector that may be a single full width piece, be divided into two sections, or omitted entirely. With an emphasis on performance, unnecessary trim and equipment is kept to a minimum. The barchetta has full-width enveloping bodywork, in contrast to an early spider corsa, which may have cycle or wing fenders. Later (non-corsa) spiders added more heavily padded seats, interior carpeting and a full windshield, items not found in the more spartan barchette. Some later cars still called barchette were more well-appointed, following the trend of the later spiders and convertibles. The first car to be called a barchetta was a Ferrari 166 MM shown at the 1948 Turin Auto Show.

Neil always cited this song as one of his favorites to play live and was always "excited" when they all agreed to play it on a particular tour. Interestingly, following its inclusion on the 1982 'Signals' tour, it was dropped from their live set until 1990's 'Presto' Tour. Geddy had said he had to relearn the whole song as he had completely forgotten how to play it.

Thanks for another great Rush reaction. I really enjoyed your story, which brought back memories of being a young man and my dream car. For me it was a 1972 Corvette Stingray with a 427 4 speed. I was able to buy that car and had it for 8 years. I still love that car. My Dad had a 84 Grand Prix with t-tops. He thought it was pretty cool. Red Barchetta is often lost amongst the other hits on Moving Pictures. I highly recommend listening to the studio recording which really brings out the nuance in Neil's playing, as well as Alex and Geddy. Terry Brown was an amazing producer, and the sound reproduction on Moving Pictures, and Permanent Waves is astounding. Looking forward to more Rush reactions.

Churchboy, Barchetta would be an Italian car if it were real, but it's a made-up name. "Muscle Cars" ended in 1973 when the government changed the rules for engines as a result of the oil embargo. There were horrible gas shortages here in America. Compression ratios went from 11:1 to 8:1, maybe 9:1. As a result horsepower output in most engines was cut in half. Performance in American cars didn't really recover until technology (fuel injection and spark controlled by microprocessors) rescued the horrible performance numbers in about 1997. My dad had a 1985 Monte Carlo. It wasn't an "SS', but I loved that car because it was beautiful. As a builder/owner of several "Muscle Cars" (1967 442, 1968 Hurst Olds) I promise you if you ride in a Monte Carlo from the late 1960's and compare that with a 1986 Monte Carlo, you'll choose the 60's version! P.K.
My brothers had a '72 Monte Carlo 350 and blew up the engine in our Grandma's driveway --- so sad! My favorite car was my 2001 Toyota Celica GTS 6 speed, OH ya!

Best US muscle car has to be the AC Cobra 427 big block V8 as featured in the recent film Le Mans 66 aka Ford v Ferrari. When they took it over for the Le Mans race in 1966 the newly finished M1 motorway in the UK was just built and they were given permission to test the race car on it which reached a recorded speed of 185mph which lead to the UK introducing a maximum speed limit of 70mph which has remained in place ever since.

Interesting to hear from a Rush fan. I can’t rank Rush songs, due to the vast discography that ever changes. Depends on the mood for me. Which what makes Rush so great. They have a song for so many moods. Personally love this song for the storytelling, but I love Rush in general. Do you have top 10? Curious
The song was inspired by the futuristic short story "A Nice Morning Drive [1]", written by Richard Foster and published in the November 1973 issue of Road & Track magazine. The story describes a similar future in which increasingly stringent safety regulations have forced cars to evolve into massive Modern Safety Vehicles (MSVs), capable of withstanding a 50-mile-per-hour (80 km/h) impact without injury to the driver. Consequently, drivers of MSVs have become less safety-conscious and more aggressive, and "bouncing" (intentionally ramming) the older, smaller cars is a common sport among some.[2] Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart made several attempts to contact Foster during the recording of Moving Pictures but Road & Track did not have an up-to-date address and Rush were forced to settle for a brief "inspired by" note in the lyric sheet mentioning the story. In July 2007, Foster and Peart finally made contact with each other.[3] Foster later posted on his website an account of their journey by motorcycle through the backwoods of West Virginia between stops on Rush's 2007 Snakes & Arrows Tour.

Came for the reaction. Stayed for the story. Church Boy, you’re a real one. Love you, brother!
Rush has mastered the art of tasteful indulgence, they can show off and still be playing for the song. Just awesome.
Geddy nails the vocals in this. His inflections really add to the chemistry of the song.
The three most talented musicians in one band. These guys put their music and friendship above all. Neil Peart is the greatest technical drummer of all time. These guys are something so special!
Yesssss another Rush reaction from Church Boy 👍
The best band i ever have or ever will see perform live. 19 of the most enjoyable concerts i have attended. There will never be another Rush.
Barchetta is an italian word and it's pronounced _bar-ketta_ although Geedy says it differently, ask an Italian and you'll see. It's my second favorite Rush song following closely La Villa Strangiato.
I get so excited when I see a new video from you, Churchboy
Red Barchetta is an Italian Ferrari sports car. Red Barchetta was always a fan favorite. I agree with Anthony Wilson choices of songs. Alex's guitar solo on Bravado is one of my favorites. I call it soul crushing. ❤🔥
This song caused so many speeding tickets growing up.😂
You need react to Rush- Cygnus X-1: Book 1 on the album Farewell to Kings
One of my favorite aspects of Geddy's playing on this song is his brilliant use of muted and sustained punches (synced with Neil's bass drum/crash cymbal) underneath Alex's harmonic showcase. Juicy AF every damn time.

loving your vids bro. not too many reactors do this much RUSH right in a row and i appreciate it… and probably everyone else who is watching this and is a RUSH fan. I’ve been listening to them since 1979 and still am listening. i was lucky enough to see them live 7 times. being that i’m also a bassist, i really love your sections of actually trying to to play the parts as you hear them. awesome. you have a great ear. many more RUSH songs to choose. keep it up.
When I was in film school in the early 80's, I wrote a script for a short film based on this song. Everyone loved my script but couldn't get any student grants or funding to pursue it. A futuristic film set in an age when combustion engine were outlawed. My young protagonist would hop a train(electric) to the country outside the city limits to visit his old uncle. In the barn his uncle had kept, restored an old muscle car, a Red Barchetta. When his uncle dies because of gov't red tape, our hero takes the car and drives it into the city and creates a headache for the gov't by showing the population of what their lives could be...and the future police in their giant hovercraft(air cars) chase him. They lose him when their hovercraft are too large to fit on a bridge leading out to the country... so he can bury his grandfather.
This song shows their genius in using odd time signatures. The guitar solo shifts to 7/4 which is cool, but when they come out the the solo they play an instrumental riff they’ve repeated before. This riff had always been in 4/4, but after the solo, they drop a full beat off every second measure - one bar of 4/4 and one of 3/4. They essentially stay in 7/4 after the solo. This gives the impression of speeding up, without actually increasing tempo, right as they go into the third verse - the chase scene! Listen to that again. It’s just subtly masterful. Cheers!
It’s BU2B lol Live version is one of their best performances in my opnion Geddy and Neil are killing it

Yeah, that Monte Carlo SS in black with red pin stripes was a beast. My first car came in 1984/1985. I lusted after the '69-'73 mustangs but wound up with a '75 Camaro instead. It was canary yellow with a stock 328. I had a 350 with a 4-bolt main from a totaled Chevy truck installed, to which was added headers and a shift kit. I had it painted midnight blue and topped it off with Craiger SST dish mag wheels. Much Rush was played in that vehicle...

Wound up selling it for more speed a couple of years later (starting with a Yamaha RZ-350 and ending a few decades later with a BMW Z1200GT (the comfier version of the 1150's Neil rode)).
You will love exploring this period of Rush and earlier. Red Barchetta is one of my favorites. Great story telling by Neil. Though it's a long song, "2112" is what put them on the map and gave them their creative freedom. It's 20 minutes, but worth it. For a shorter classic Rush song, you can't go wrong with "The Trees".
LIVE!! Just remember how good they are at all times .. Studio, Concert, or back porch...
Great reaction Church Boy!! Not French, but Italian - often attributed to the '48 Ferrari 166MM, but Barchetta is a term used for a two-seat car without any kind of roof (not a convertible, but no roof...period) Rush members, rarely, if ever, over play in a song (IMHO) - sure they can go nuts, now and again, but when they do, it's ALWAYS in service of the song! When Alex needs to shred, he'll shred. When Geddy needs a crazy bass run, he'll do it. When Neil has to play every tom he has - it will be there - but it's all to fill the spaces as required. Such a great song. Cheers.
Thanks for sharing your experience about test driving your dream car! You’re a fantastic storyteller Church Boy! I’m always here for *every* one of your Rush reactions! 🔥
If you'd like to experience how Geddy's Rickenbacker highlights one of Alex's best live solos ever, accompanied by another master class from Neil and lyrics based on his own life experiences, I'd like to recommend Limelight from this same show. Cheers from Toronto! 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🐐 🐐 🐐
1978 Dodge Charger. 440 engine. High rise intake manifold. Headers. 4 speed manual. Like Geddy said in the song, every nerve was aware when you were behind the wheel. Naturally some neighbors didn't like it because it was loud when I wanted it to be. But that's another story.
You should go back a bit further and check out By-Tor and the Snowdog, then The Necromancer! That’s when RUSH was evolving into the prog juggernaut that we all love!

The song takes place in some possible future, when 'ICE' cars are outlawed ... Driving was his crime. When I was a teen, my dream car was an MG Midget ... when I was older, it was a 97 T-Bird (which I got, and still have) and then a Tesla (which I also got, Model S) ... Nothing quite equals riding in the car of your dreams

I've been on a "Rush journey" since 1978 😁
Great reaction, bro… and loved the story. It’s not really a muscle car, but my dream car is an Aston Martin DB5… the Professor had one in his collection that he called the Silver Surfers. Again, and especially since you were talking about working a big ol’ V8, try Headlong Flight off Clockwork Angels… it’s the guys firing on all 8 and pushing it. I’d roll with the studio version for a first listen because the production is AMAZING. Also I suggested once before The Main Monkey Business… it’s the instrumental that was up for a Grammy but lost to Springsteen. I know you like the Boss, but there’s no justice with that decision. 😂

Although Rush forged their own path musically, they followed the fashion of the day leading to some questionable choices. Neil has a bowtie on, while Alex and Geddy are wearing 1981 skinny ties. A barchetta is an Italian sports car which has no roof. The word is Italian for 'little boat'.

Check out Rush 2112 (the story version and then the live version from the Molson in 1997). I think you will be impressed. The story book version explains the story, the live version is great.
They were told they were mispronouncing it a few years after the song was released. They just decided it was far too late to correct the error.

Owned it for several years until it started rusting away thanks to 3 winters in upstate New York. That car definitely had some get-up and go. Great reaction to definitely a top 10 Rush song for me.
The Rick" is a solid body bass. That's one thing that makes the tone so rich.. Along with the stereo porcelain pickup casings.
A Barchetta was a two-seater roadster produced by Ferrari in Italy back in the 1990's. The Italian car company Fiat also produced a similar style roadster with the same name.
more rush reaction
Listen to R30 version - Geddy’s intro/outro are massive in comparison to version you just played
One of my fave Rush songs! ❤️ ❤❤ Geddy Lee's first book was his big book of bass where he has shows his collection of bass guitars. I think you would enjoy it. I will recommend 2112 the comic book version. I always look forward to your reactions. Cheers 🇨🇦
Good song, good story. I'm a car guy too. My newest car is a 97 Mustang GT Conv 5spd. I've played this track with the top down and rowing gears. Not fast by todays standards, but visceral sound and fun as hell. I can relate
I consider this one of the most perfect ballads ever performed. The music as well as the lyrics tell the story to near perfection.
I quote "The first car to be called a barchetta was a Ferrari 166 MM shown at the 1948 Turin Auto Show. The car was designed by Federico Formenti at Carrozzeria Touring. Giovanni Canestrini, editor of the Italian sporting newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, applied the term to describe the new car's original bodystyle."
Geddy Lee has two things he collects. Baseball Memoribilla (pardon my spelling) and Bass Guitars. I believe he says he has over 300 of them. His Baseball collection is "amazing."
How Geddy plays and sings with such difficult bass lines is INCREDIBLE!
Italian sports car :) Great tune. RIP Neil.
The thing with understanding Rush songs is to live in the story. Their musical talent along with the lyrics provides synergistic imagery in ones thoughts that enables you to experience the concept of the song. Try not to focus on a guitar solo, or drum parts, or bass playing. Yes, their talent is legendary and an inspiration, but focusing on just that and you miss out on Rush music as a whole. In this song, the name of the car does not matter. Picture what they are saying. It is a time where motor cars are outlawed. The society is utopian and controlled which is why the young man must sneak through the fences to visit his uncle in the country. His uncles is obviously a non conformist which is why he is outside the fence. When he sees his uncle, they uncover the old car that is kept hidden due to the motor laws. The take it out for a drive and picture in your mind riding in the country air with the wind in your face and the thrill of breaking the law and riding in the forbidden car. Then the motor patrol comes after them, but they escape and hide the car again in the barn. After, they sit around the fire reminiscing of the old days. Understand the story and what is being portrayed and how the music enhances the story will give you an even greater appreciation of Rush.
The song is a futuristic tale written by Neil, where cars are outlawed!
This is the song that made me want to play the bass...got my first one in 1983 when I was 13 and have been playing ever since.

Barchetta is actually pronounced barketta - italian for little boat. It is a car with no roof - and the actual car that Neil wronte this song is a 1948 Ferrari 166 MM . While Neil built up an impressive car collecton - recenly sold at auction - most of his cars were silver and he never owned a red Ferrari - but he did say in a few interviews that the 48 166MM was his grail car.
Barchetta (Italian pronunciation: [barˈketta]) is an Italian word commonly translated into English as "little boat". The term originally referred to a small skiff used for recreational purposes. It is also applied to some items of clothing, as well as being used in automobile styling, where it describes a class of open-top, two-seat sports cars. When applied to an automobile, barchetta describes a small car that is open-topped, without provision of a removable or foldable top for weather protection. Instead of a full windshield, the barchetta has a low-rise transparent wind deflector that may be a single full width piece, be divided into two sections, or omitted entirely. With an emphasis on performance, unnecessary trim and equipment is kept to a minimum. The barchetta has full-width enveloping bodywork, in contrast to an early spider corsa, which may have cycle or wing fenders. Later (non-corsa) spiders added more heavily padded seats, interior carpeting and a full windshield, items not found in the more spartan barchette. Some later cars still called barchette were more well-appointed, following the trend of the later spiders and convertibles. The first car to be called a barchetta was a Ferrari 166 MM shown at the 1948 Turin Auto Show.
1966 Ford Mustang Fastback! Had a ‘68, but would love to drive a ‘66 again😍
This is my top 3 song ever! I've played it probably 200 times. Not because I can. But Neil is my idol. Been listening since 1976. Been playing along in my attempt to become a drummer, since 77. Figuring if I can somehow even reach the point of playing his stuff sloppy. I would get better. Yes, he was my drum teacher. Forever grateful for the experience. Love what you do brother! The Garden.... Last song on last album made by Rush, b4 Neil's death. I'm not going to tell you about it. I want to see your emotions while listening. Take care and God bless!!
Might be my favorite Rush song. It's not a big hit, but I appreciate the simple futuristic story
Church, I always look forward to your review and insight into the musical structure. It's cool to see you pick up your base and mimic the sound. BTW, your bass has great tone also! 😉
Neil always cited this song as one of his favorites to play live and was always "excited" when they all agreed to play it on a particular tour. Interestingly, following its inclusion on the 1982 'Signals' tour, it was dropped from their live set until 1990's 'Presto' Tour. Geddy had said he had to relearn the whole song as he had completely forgotten how to play it.
Thanks for another great Rush reaction. I really enjoyed your story, which brought back memories of being a young man and my dream car. For me it was a 1972 Corvette Stingray with a 427 4 speed. I was able to buy that car and had it for 8 years. I still love that car. My Dad had a 84 Grand Prix with t-tops. He thought it was pretty cool. Red Barchetta is often lost amongst the other hits on Moving Pictures. I highly recommend listening to the studio recording which really brings out the nuance in Neil's playing, as well as Alex and Geddy. Terry Brown was an amazing producer, and the sound reproduction on Moving Pictures, and Permanent Waves is astounding. Looking forward to more Rush reactions. It would be nice to see you cover some of their early work such as: Anthem By-tor & the Snow Dog Fly By Night Bastille Day Lakeside Park The Fountain of Lamneth Cygnus X-1 Book 1

The ending - the lost art of the outtro...
Churchboy, Barchetta would be an Italian car if it were real, but it's a made-up name. "Muscle Cars" ended in 1973 when the government changed the rules for engines as a result of the oil embargo. There were horrible gas shortages here in America. Compression ratios went from 11:1 to 8:1, maybe 9:1. As a result horsepower output in most engines was cut in half. Performance in American cars didn't really recover until technology (fuel injection and spark controlled by microprocessors) rescued the horrible performance numbers in about 1997. My dad had a 1985 Monte Carlo. It wasn't an "SS', but I loved that car because it was beautiful. As a builder/owner of several "Muscle Cars" (1967 442, 1968 Hurst Olds) I promise you if you ride in a Monte Carlo from the late 1960's and compare that with a 1986 Monte Carlo, you'll choose the 60's version! P.K.
2007-2009 Stage 3 Roush Mustang 427R, 63 split window stingray Vette.
My brothers had a '72 Monte Carlo 350 and blew up the engine in our Grandma's driveway --- so sad! My favorite car was my 2001 Toyota Celica GTS 6 speed, OH ya!
Best US muscle car has to be the AC Cobra 427 big block V8 as featured in the recent film Le Mans 66 aka Ford v Ferrari. When they took it over for the Le Mans race in 1966 the newly finished M1 motorway in the UK was just built and they were given permission to test the race car on it which reached a recorded speed of 185mph which lead to the UK introducing a maximum speed limit of 70mph which has remained in place ever since.
Just want to say that I love your channel! Great content!
