Did you notice them playing foot pedals too? :) This is Rush at their peak, and it was a long peak. Their string of albums from 1976-89 has to be the strongest musical run in rock history. Whether you liked them or not, no one could play better and no one sounded better live. This video has no overdubs or cross edits.

I'm a HUGE Rush fan, so I may be a tad biased, but you're right! the run of albums from 2112 through to Power Windows (but some would argue to Counterparts, or Presto, or Hold Your Fire...no matter) is such a string of high quality output! Few bands can claim the same!

You're right on them being the best sounding and possibly the most talented. I know they were the most professional musicians I was seeing at the time. The live show sounded just like the album. They're also the first band that I ever saw with huge speaker bundles hanging from the ceiling of the Colosseum

Hi Sarah. You know exactly what you are talking about. I love that you got so much out of it and keep on keeping on. Music and it's power.

One of Rush's masterpieces! It was based on a series of nightmares that Alex Lifeson the guitarist had. Brilliant!

Wow!

I am a huge RUSH fan, I saw them a few times in concert, the last being in Halifax, Nova Scotia at the Metro Centre in 2013, I lived only an hour from there. They are fantastic musicians, you would be hard-pressed to find better and Alex Lifeson does not get the credit he deserves, he is one of the best guitarists of all time. One cool thing most don't know is that Geddy and Alex have their own brand of beer (Rush Canadian Golden Ale), I was the first person in Alberta, the Province where I now live to purchase a case, I kept one of the cans as a souvenir, nothing to do with music, I just thought that I would throw that in as a freebie. Thank you for doing RUSH reactions, it's great to see them getting the love they deserve.

It never ceases to amaze me how much emotion Alex Lifeson can get out of a guitar.

This is Rush's masterpiece instrumental, as Rush fans will tell you. I never have seen this live version. I can tell this is from quite some time ago based on their appearance.

I think it was filmed live, but not with an audience. This is one of Rush's official videos.

They played it as an encore when I saw them in concert waaay back in 1980. Set List FM knew this, as my memory wouldn't. Nice to see that this music is still appreciated. Thanks Sarah!

WOW!! I was 13 years old when I first saw them in 1978!!! Enjoy Young Lady!!🙏🏻😍😉🍀

This is the best so g by the best band that has ever been. I first saw them live around the time of the version's recording and left that show a confirmed fan for life.

My wife's not a big Rush fan, in general, but she usually likes their instrumental numbers, and this one in particular.

Wives typically don’t like Rush. I’ve never understood it, being a wife at one time. There aren’t many of us Rush ladies but we’re here and appreciate their perfection. Heck, I spin them quite often on my Classic rock radio show. They must be! What fun!!!❤

Check out "RUSH - Best intro EVER!!!!!!!!!!"

Ok, now I have to pull up my RUSH albums. RIP Neil Peart - the Percussion Master❤️

So very cool to see another new Rush fan. 🤘🤘🤘 Rock on👍👽

Enjoying all your reactions Sarah, especially 'RUSH', as you can see, three cheers to you and thanks, RIP Neil

It’s amazing, ain’t it!! 👏👏👏My favorite of all time. And yes ma’am, just the three of them, tho we lost the drummer awhile back and they’re no longer touring. But oh boy what a gift we’ve been given❤Thank you for sharing your awesome appreciation of music with us.

You've just heard the best rock instrumental ever conceived, and performed as only these three geniuses could do it. 😊

Glad you liked it! I think that you'll also like The Trees, from the same album. Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🐐 🐐 🐐

Hey Sarah, well this is certainly nostalgic. I was 14 years old in the late 70's and spending endless hours learning this very tune. This my favorite period for Rush. I saw them in 1980 and they looked like this . I recommend Cygnus X-1, both parts.

In the Rush documentary, they said they wanted to but couldn't do the original studio track in just one take, too hard, they had to do it in chunks. But this official video looks like it's live, one pass, in a studio or theater. I always wondered if they just wanted to make a point they could do it. Regardless, they played it live on the Hemispheres tour after that album release, and ever since, so they obviously conquered it. One of my favorite Rush tracks, especially love the first more melodic guitar solo section.

You looked a little bored in the beginning, but by the end you were thoroughly enjoying it. Me too! 🤩

RUSH Army is present and prepared for duty.

Great reaction! Awsome show up front. I bet

Hi Sarah, love your reaction but you've got the song titled "Villa La Strangiato." Actually it's "La Villa Strangiato."

Welcome to Rush

Chills every damn time. Now listen to YYZ and 2112.

Other great band from Ontario Canada is Motion Device.
