Alex has stacks of amps behind him on his side of the stage. Geddy began pluggin in directly to the board, so his side of the stage looked empty. So to balance the stage behind Geddy they just put anything up there. One tour it was stacks of washers and dryers, another tour it was rotisseries, another tour it was vending machines. That was just part of their humor. They were a fun bunch of just ordinary guys.

When it was dryers they had t-shirts in them and guys looking like them (hair, clothes similar, guitars) would come out during the concert and pull the shirts out of the dryer and throw to the crowd.

They were ordinary in term of how they treated others, but in terms of musical talents all these three guys were probably among the best ever.

This was Sarstock Toronto and there were a number of bands playing to 500,000 people. The Rolling Stones put on the event and to honour them Rush played paint it black at the beginning before they went into Spirit of Radio. The washers,dryers ,vending machines etc were to to balance out the stage after Geddy started plugging into the house sound system and Alex still had his stack of amps. These guys have a great sense of humour. The hat Neil wears is something he adopted after his bicycle trip through west Africa. There is a story he tells about him being in an African village where a drummer was trying to teach a young missionary how to drum and the poor fellow was at a loss. Neil was watching and then asked to join in. Neil sat in and in no time was picking up the beat and the women started dancing. The missionary was amazed and all Neil said was I'm in the business. To see their comradery and their goofiness please react to Dinner with Rush. Cheers

You can also find video of Neil meeting Charlie Watts just minutes before going on stage. He says in his book he gets into his own world just before going on, and someone (Geddy, or Geddys brother) got Neil's attention that Charlie was there to say hi, (one of Neil's idols) you see them shake hands and I think Charlie said 'I'm going g to be watching you' Neil Commented in his book that he didn't even recognize him, thought he was just a random elderly guy 😂😂. Was a good story

I always winced at that name!

Neil is wearing a Kufi which is often worn by Muslims (Neil wasn't at all religious). He started wearing them after a month-long bicycle tour he took through Cameroon in 1988. (He wrote a book about his travels titled The Masked Rider - excellent read). While in Cameroon, he learned African beats from some of the local legends - wearing the hat may be a tribute to the friends he made (and/or to cover his thinning hair). The song: Alex beginning riff gives the feeling of tunes going into your car antenna. Reggae and other changes give the experience of changing radio stations. Metal songs are often in E because it allows the open E string to be rung out at the lowest note regularly. The low E acts as a pedal tone in many rock and metal compositions. As a trio, it allows RUSH to create a thicker sound.

What some call the "Devil Horns" hand symbol has been a way for rockers to show their appreciation or enjoyment of a performance for a while now. It was popularized by the singer Ronnie James Dio when he joined Black Sabbath in the early 1980s, as he had often seen his grandmother use it. It is actually called the "maloik," and has Italian roots. It was used as a way to give someone the "evil eye," or conversely as protection from it, which is how Dio intended his use - protection from evil. Dio used this throughout his career, and it was picked up by many hard rock fans as a way to show their enthusiasm for an act. I would highly recommend anything that Dio is connected with (he sang for Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and his namesake band Dio), and suggest Sabbath's "Heaven and Hell" as a great place to start. After you finish your Rush journey, that is. 🤘 FYI, the brief instrumental intro here is from the Rolling Stones "Paint it Black."

Church Boy. Thnx for the shout out and great reaction. If you listen to the studio version of the song, the lyrics are clear and quite profound. It's about the integrity of the music industry and the joy of music.

They were opening for The Rolling stones and AC DC in this concert. This was a benefit concert put on by the Stones to help people in Toronto after the Sars epidemic . I believe there was close to a half million people there. I've heard higher numbers but I don't know for certain. They had a wicked sense of humour. The tee-shirts will be thrown to the audience later. They put out a new video for this song in memory of Neil Peart who passed in 2020.

I really suggest you react to the studio version first, so you can appreciate the live versions. I am a lifetime musician in Wisconsin. I have a home studio and play all guitars, bass, and vocals. I program my drum tracks. These Rush songs are the only songs where I can’t deviate from the studio versions when recording. This is my favorite band of all time. I’m 56, seen them live. Love every album they have released. There is no other band in the world like Rush 🙌🏻 Welcome to my lifetime of memories with Rush🤩

Similar here, although probably not as aptly as you - trust me. 😅

RUSH ARMY HERE! For a different, poetic human experience of a Rush song may I humbly suggest that you react to THE TREES. Having the lyrics are crucial. I am loving your reactions.

The chickens and laundry are because Geddy stopped using on stage amps, and uses house amps. He uses the props to fill the stage where his amps would be.

Notice many Rush fans are telling you to react to live renditions, because they sound so nice live. True, agreed, they do sound great live, but for your very first listen and introduction to a song, personally think it should be the studio version. Studio versions help you get a better understanding of how they intended for the music to sound in a controlled environment with the mixing precisely they way they wanted for the song. You can aways react to the live versions at a later date. Plus, in many of these live versions, Geddy is older and his voice is no longer in prime condition. Just my two cents. Thanks, love your reactions.

I agree. Other than Xanadu, I’d always have reactors listen to the studio version of the song, especially one like this, with a lot of intricacies.

Neil's hat is called a Kufi hat - wirn by Africans. When he was younger, he bicycled through parts of Africa and picked up African percussion rhythms. His kufi hats are specially built as they have removeable foam inside to absorb the sweat from his head. Between sets, the foam was removed and replaced.

Neil Peart’s hat is a Nigerian Kufi Cap. It’s kind of a ceremonial or traditional hat worn by people all over the world but mostly in African countries

Geddy would always tease Alex about all his Marshall stacks so he would have everything from dryers to rotisserie chicken machines on his side of the stage Their love for one another shines through in their shows Alex loves to experiment with what kinds of sounds he can pull out of his guitar an he never overreaches, he is always so freakin melodic An the grooves that Geddy an Neil pull off are insane I think it’s time for you to do 2112 a 23 min rock opera that defined exactly who Rush wanted to be, it was their big F U to the record label who wanted them to do 4 min radio friendly songs Do the studio (comic book) version, it will help you with the whole journey the song takes you on

Since you love Rush especially Gettys bass lines. Highly highly highly recommend Roundabout by Yes. Listen to the remastered album version for the best listen

500 000 people as it was a concert in Toronto for Sars with Rolling Stones a d AC DC.They used to have alot of Marshall amps but downsized and used dryers to fill in space.They filled in space with the rotisserie to also fill in space and feed the crew after each show.Luv your reaction. Enjoy the Rush ride. God Bless. It's about the spirit of the radio about how they pushed back against the record labels and radio stations to play the music that they wanted to produce and play.

Church Boy a suggestion of next Rush song is Malignant Narcissism live version from Snakes & Arrows tour as you will get to see Neil Peart drum solo. God Bless.

That track is also worth a lyrics dive. Peart wrote all their lyrics and he was great. The devil horns are a rock thing... invented by Ronnie James Dio ...he sang lead for Black Sabbath, Rainbow and later his own band DIO... it just means 'Lets Rock'

Listening to Rush for the amazing musicality… and then eventually understanding that the lyrics might eclipse the music. I love Yes.. but Jon Anderson doesn’t even understand his own lyrics. I love Genesis, some of the lyrics are great.. but some of them might have taken inspiration from Jon Anderson. Rush, and Neil’s lyrics, are next level.😊

Alex is having a blast in this one. The official animated video is a must see. Keep it up, bud!

The different musical genres represented in this song the feeling of switching back and forth between radio stations

I always dig your insightfulness for music! Thank you ! And your newfound love for RUSH !! How can you not love RUSH ??? I agree totally with the Alex Lifeson mastery of the guitar. They are all so talented, everyone knows Geddie Lee's bass work and of course Neil Peart. But I honestly think Alex is the best, most technically skilled of the three ! I always have, his tone and ability to change tempo and sounds effortlessly, is second to none. MY three fave giutarist. David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler, and Alex Lifeson. Keep digging, we dig u. Peace

The song is an ode to the joy of listening to music on the radio. Back in the day when that's how you listened to music & found new songs.

Neil wears that to keep the sweat out of his eyes, 😅..who we kidding. I've seen him dozens of times and I don't think I've seen him barely break a sweat by the end of a 3hr show. I had Front row once, Blew my mind! So happy your enjoying and appreciating them.

There were over 500,000 people there, that's a very small fraction of Rush fans out there.

Don’t be misleading though. This was SARSStock. This wasn’t just a Rush gig.

Love watching a competent musician get to experience and analyze AND FEEL what they're laying down. Music helps people connect. It's so awesome to hear something vicariously thru fresh ears. Thanks man

Probably the best song, ever...from the best band...ever. Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto, also known as SARSStock, was a benefit rock concert that was held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on July 30, 2003. An estimated 450,000 and 500,000 people attended the concert, making it is the largest outdoor ticketed event in Canadian history and one of the largest events in North American history.

The washing machines are a joke. Getty's amps were so big, they were compared to appliances, and being Canadian, they're always down for a good joke. It's been a staple of their shows for years. Just some good clean fun.

@iKvetch558

Well...the joke did not happen until Geddy did away with his stacks of amps, and ran his sound through the house sound system...and so there was big empty space behind him but still giant stacks behind Alex. 👍

RUSH sheet music scores are on the internet and Geddy has a book “The Big Beautiful Book of Bass”. His musical talent is undeniable and Geddy was the one involved with all the concert stage design and production for their tours too!

I saw RUSH in 1976 and a song I think you may enjoy is "Anthem". Great live, but the studio version great also.

Sars concert in Toronto and Neil is playing the xylophone ,you should check out their Hall Of Fame induction

Geddy Sings in the key of E. That's why they stay there. Laundry is a tour theme prop.This is one for the studio version. The music video is pretty cool!!

I've seen them five times over the decades" third row center twice, fifth row center once" damn, that was a good time😎😎

Every show I had the blessing to see, started with this song. "One likes to believe in the freedom of music but glittering prizes and endless compromises, shatter the illusion of integrity." Is my favorite verse. 2112 was their make or break middle finger to the music industry at the time. It worked for them. After that, full steam ahead!

This intro is a STONES cover. They once did a tour of nothing but covers! I couldn’t believe it! I thought it was a joke when my friend told me about it because he saw the tour before I did. And I’ll be damned if that entire show wasn’t covers! I think it was the 30th anniversary tour so they played the bands that influenced them.

"How many people ... ?" Well, for the Vapor Trails tour stop in Rio de Janiero, they did two shows over two consecutive nights in the largest venue in Rio - and filled the place with over 42,000 fans both nights. Unlike this video which was a multi-band set of shows, the Rio concerts were just Rush. Check out the crowd in any of the videos from the "Rush In Rio" DVD.

I have seen Rush every tour since the Grace Under Pressure tour. When I see videos of them playing live i get sad knowing I will not see them live again. But at the same time they ended on a musical high note. Not a band of "once was" like some out there now.

This means 🤘 Long live rock and roll 🤘 It's creation is mostly credited to singer/ song writer, Ronnie James Dio (DEE- oh), who is a legend in heavy metal. Consistently named best metal singer of all time. status! Massive career and then taken too soon by cancer - same with our brother Neil. And speaking of our brother Neil - I think we're getting close to giving him the flowers he deserves and playing his solo in Frankfurt. You said you love jazz. Oh please buckle up bc it's gonna get fabulous. He was obviously a student of jazz, (as were most rock drummers from the 60s and 70s) - it's the music they grew up on. His solo includes some great jazz and the entire performance will leave you in awe. Have a blessed week, my brother in Christ! ✝

One thing about Rush, that no one seems to recognize, is how Geddy Lee will take the lead on base.

The appliances on stage because in the 70's & 80's, Alex (guitar) and Geddy (bass) each had a big stack of amplifiers, but when Ged switched to a direct to P.A. & monitors, and stopped using amps on stage, they started putting all kinds of crazy things there to balance the stage, because Alex always kept his amps. They did something different each tour !

Alex Lifeson, gets overlooked too often, so I'm glad you pointed him out. This version is actually a little stripped down. it's without the keyboard parts, and there were a lot of muffled notes - maybe because of the wind. Thanks, for another excellent reaction.

You want to hear Geddy's bass work in all its glory? You will appreciate the bass riffs on "Digital Man" by Rush (listen to the studio version to hear it clearly).

Molson Canadian Rocks Toronto festival to mark the end of the SARS epidemic. 480,000 tickets issued plus an estimated 15,000 service and set up people. This was the afternoon show and they were the highlight of it, according to my co-workers who went. The evening show was topped by The Rolling Stones and AC/DC. The Stones management company helped the city organize the whole thing which was held at the old Downsview Airport. Charlie Watts made a special point of introducing himself to Neil Peart just before he went on. The Stones' connection was why they inserted the Paint It Black intro.

I love this line in this song- "One likes to believe in the freedom of music But glittering prizes and endless compromises Shatter the illusion of integrity" Very true. The Spirit of Radio (and money in music) is inherently corruptive, unfortunately. Even the existence of professional touring creates a lot of ethical problems with no clear solutions. PS- Laundry on stage is just for fun, I think cause Geddy Lee no longer needed amps on stage

If you feel like checking some of their newer songs I strongly suggest these ones, Time stand still, Manhattan Project, Nobody's hero. These are just a few of so many.

The washers/ rotisserie machines are used to balance out the stage. Alex liked using his stack of amps, whilst Geddy would have his basses and keyboards connected directly to the house amp systems. Otherwise the stage would look weird with the empty space behind him.

Key of E. That is the key of GEDDY's voice

There's another 3 piece band from Canada 🇨🇦 I think you would really enjoy called Triumph - their music is always positive and uplifting & are definitely worth a look

definitely check out the lyrics - it's about the commercialization of the radio / music industry.... and yes, that was reggae, it's more pronounced in the studio version too... a couple easter eggs in the song...

Geddy once said his bass tone is clean and dry. Since he does not use a wall of cabinets he used the dryers for a while to fill in the stage. He uses a small amp/speaker cabinet behind the dryers that go in the main console. Check out Geddy Signature Fender bass guitar.

YYZ live in Rio. Brazilians know how to rock !

The lyrics are definitely worth looking into- it was kind of an indictment of the state of the music industry, and an embrace of newer technologies and types of music as well

1/2 a million as Geddy needed less amps they used laundry or vending machines to fill the space 1 so it looked even and 2 for the guys to hide behind that were taking care of Neil❤🇨🇦

If you look closely you'll find the dryers are mic'ed up as well. Geddy no longer needed his gear throughout the show, tied directly into stage stacks - but didn't want the stage to feel off center, so decided to put dryers (vending machines, time machines, rotisserie chicken - fed to stage crew after concert, etc) with t-shirts they gave out at the end usually. But basically Geddy just wanted something on his side too. lol

Can’t wait to see these Rush song reactions. Xanadu La Villa Strangiato 2112

The hand signal is the sign for “rock on”

I also feel you have heard enough Rush that it's time for 2112! Hold onto you hat

BRAVO ! Look for the Documentary of them going to So. America, for the fist time. Behind the scenes and a SOLD OUT tour , Live in RIO

That hand motion/signal/whatever is simply Devil Horns - ROCK ON BRO!

I mean.....I've been a fan since 83 or so.....and obviously I know their greatness...but it's so hard to wrap your brain around how just these 3 guys could come up with all this music...and sound....and 5 different parts in their songs and mix it all in, and do this for 40 years!! People can say there are "better" bands out there, but they truly don't understand this band or really know them well enough. Or they're just being spiteful and ignorant

I'd highly recommend still reacting to the original studio cut, from their 1980 album Permanent Waves ✌️

The hand gesture is associated with metal and rock n roll. It started with the band Dio, specifically Ronnie James Dio their lead vocalist. It’s based on fantasy creatures often depicted in their early material. Their album Holy Diver is an example of that. The hand gesture caught on with fans and carried over into other rock and metal bands’ audiences.

Love your Rush reactions! It looks like others have answered your questions. Watch the live version of Marathon from the Time Machine tour (fire bass line!).

You're into lyrics. Please read the lyrics. You won't regret it. Love your reactions.

Church Boy I'm so glad you did the Live version The Spirit of Radio in Toronto. So cool Rush played Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones before the song dropped. Please react to Subdivisions Live. Amazing lyrics. Geddy switches back and forth from playing a Synthesizer to a bass all while singing. If you really want to see a young Rush Anthem live 1975. A real banger for sure. Enjoying your Rush journey. 🤘🔥

When Van Halen made it big in the 80’s a Rolling Stone reporter asked Eddie what it was like to be the greatest guitar player ever, Eddie said: I don’t know, go ask Alex Lifeson.

That hand gesture, which you did very well, maybe less wiggling, is a devil head, horns and beard. Associated to metal music and themes.

I was at this concert, brings back memories. The hand gesture you are inquiring about has a huge history and reference in pretty much all cultures on the planet. From a rock n roll/metal perspective it's referred to as the devil's horns. Nothing evil about it, people usually do the gesture, when the music gets them excited/amp'd up.

This is one of their biggest hits. Certainly in the to 10 (and maybe top 5) for many Rush fans. I HIGHLY recommend the animated retrospective music video kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZOF1rFpgsvWYNo.html with the remastered studio audio and capped by a touching tribute to Neil at the end. The Spirit of Radio is a loving tribute to the medium of FM radio. There's a really great line from Neil in the song that kind of sums up the sentiment... "Invisible air waves crackle with life. Bright antennae bristle with the energy. Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength bearing a gift beyond price, almost free. All this machinery making modern music can still be open hearted. Not so coldly charted. It's really just a question of your honest, yeah your honesty. One likes to believe in the freedom of music. But glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah..." Then later, during the reggae breakdown, borrowing from Simon and Garfunkel's masterpiece, "The Sound of Silence," Peart continues, "for the words of the profits were written on the studio wall... Concert Hall! E-echos with the sound of salesmen... of salesmen... of salesmen!" and guitar solo. Simon's original line was "For the words of the prophets were written on the subway wall." this line itself is a callback to the Book of Daniel, the prophet from Chapter 5. Neil is making a play on prophets, changing it to "profits", calling out the corrupting influence of the business side of making music/art. And he changes subway to studio wall. Nice touches. And the repetition of the words, "of salesmen" is itself representative of the echo effect and the word "E-echos" the way Geddy sings it, is an example of the literary tool, onomatopoeia. Just some really cool song writing going on here from Neil.

Keeps his head warm.

It was a giant crowd, but they weren't all there just to see Rush, there was a lot of great bands playing that day, including AC/DC & The Rolling Stones

I think that this was my 1st RUSH exposure in my life, 1980, I was 12 and in 7th grade, from then on I've loved a certain time frame of RUSH ALBUMS, from the 1st album to Signals, in 1982. After that my interest fell off or they moved on to new songs that i didnt bother to learn or listen to. Also they weren't really played on the air locally, atbleast not down here in South Florida. Have you done the 2112 album or specifically side 2. Side 1 is a short space/roch opera about a future in which humans live under an oppressive ruling structure that encourages conformity and obedience, but has no music or musical instruments. Then one day a man finds a guiter and learns to play it and the consequences of his actions. Just a masterpiece of classic rock. 1976

7:40 - That's the Metal (and to a little lesser extent) Rock sign. Rush isn't a Metal band, but it's thrown up for Rock, too. They don't move their fingers, though. You should check out "Red Barchetta", too. I think you'd really like it. The song that they started with, as an introduction to "Freewill" is "Paint It Black", by The Rolling Stones.

Just a quick note to write that I am really enjoying your Rush reactions! They are bringing me so much joy. I love it when you pick up your bass and play, by the way. Here a big ole thank you! 🙏 V

I've always felt like Alex gets overlooked because of how amazing Geddy and Neil are. Easily the most underrated guitar player of all time.

As a life-long Rush fan, I respectfully disagree. Is he mentioned in the same breath as guys like EVH? No but he is a respected guitarist. The most underrated? Not by a long shot. He’s listed in the top 100 of all time. There is some guitarist in your home town right now who is probably amazing that no one has ever heard of. Perspective.

I think it’s time for a Neil Peart drum solo. Live in Frankfurt…it was recorded for his Anatomy of a Drum Solo instructional dvd, so it’s the best one to start with ❤

Church Boy! 👋 I also greatly enjoy Rush’s live performances, and I realize that you prefer live music in general. However, imho, I believe that for first-time listens, Rush’s studio versions are a must. This is because it gives you the opportunity to hear the definitive version, crafted just the way the band intended it to sound like. It also gives you the ability to follow along with the lyrics, if they’re displayed on screen. Once you’ve heard (or reacted to) the studio version of a song, then reacting to a live version is a great way to appreciate their live performances without sacrificing or missing any of the less obvious nuances or tasty details otherwise heard clearly in the studio versions. Not sure how others feel about this, but it’s how I’ve always felt, not only about Rush, but all bands.

The reason Rush play a lot in E is probably because of Geddy's vocal range. Also, Neil wears the head ware because it keeps the sweat out of his eyes, and in the studio it keep the headphones from slipping when recording.

The hand gesture is an old symbol I first saw the Stones use back in the early seventies

🤗 Woo Hoo! More Rush! ☺️ Cool Beans! 🥰🐰

This song is built as if you are changing RADIO STATIONS - this is why their are different STYLES thru the song...

I'm happy you did this song, after watching your other Rush reaction videos I was hoping you would do this. 🙂👍

The washers and chickens are making Geddy's side not look empty, as he doesn't run his bass through his own amps on stage.

I’m really glad that I stumbled across your Rush reactions. I’ve been listening to Rush for over 40 years and your fresh perspective is very enjoyable. Thank you for doing these videos, you have a new fan.

Finally back to covering the hits instead of the obscure videos. Please just focus on more of the album versions of songs.

From now on look at the lyrics when watching Raj it’s important and lyrics are phenomenal

metal devil horns hand sign this is the one of few prog bands that were accepted into the metal community .

think you might be ready for the song that was there FU to the record company in 2112 said twenty-one twelve. if you want to learn about them watch the docmentary about the Beyond the Lighted Stage

"Working Man Time Machine Tour live in Cleveland" and "YYZ live in Rio" are a must!

This was the song that started at all for me with my obsession with rush. It was released as a single in late 1979 when I was 12 years old and I immediately loved it. Permanent waves came out in January 1980 and I bought it the day it came out and I have been obsessed ever since.

This song is inspired by Neil's memory of listening to CFNY in Toronto, whose tag line was "The Spirit of Radio." What's fascinating is the main guitar riff is Alex's interpretation of what it sounded like when scrolling through a radio dial on an old-school analog radio. As with every Rush song, it is worth your time to check out the lyrics.

Just a suggestion as it's hard to know which versions to watch as per different requests. Maybe listen to studio version of song and then do the live version of same song. Rush Forever . Keep enjoying the journey.

The "Devil Horn" fingers is attributed to Ronnie James Dio. His Italian grandmother did it. Dio did it at his shows and people grifted it as a cliche thing to do at rock shows.

Appreciate another RUSH reaction. It’s crazy how quickly you become addicted to their music or you don’t. Keep this run going.
