Who are "all these people" that disagree with this? LOL. It is so obvious to me - always has been that way.

Vital Signs is yet another testament to Neil's ferocious pursuit always to accuracy, details, and 100% explosive rock strong power. Remember that 1981 was the height of electronic robot drone drum machines to appreciate this live effort repeated throughout entire tours night after night. Love his books and plethora of lyrics, but his drumming was the power plant of Rush in the unique pantheon of drummers who command attention in concert by playing so damn well commanding high standards of play. And yes, you would hear Neil's drumming from the first 25 front rows far louder directly than over the loudspeakers....So incredibly epic to experience!

Love that Lerxst tone! The bass pops so well in the bridge too. This song really builds up beautifully towards the end. ✊🫡

Saw this tour in either Fort Wayne or Toledo, might have been my first of twelve Rush concerts. I wish my memory was better but damn this is 41 fucking years ago now. I just turned 60.

There was no other band tighter then these three. ❤ The echoes of there music will resonate for centuries.

This song is a shapeshifter, and it's also my mood lifter.

The Exit Stage Left we should’ve gotten. If only there was video footage of the stuff too!!

I remember seeing this concert in Hollywood,South Florida. At the Sportatorium, epic show. This is one of my favorite albums of all of them.moving pictures.

Honestly, couldn't care less about the 'Moving Pictures' remaster, I bought a copy of this set on CD for 'Live in YYZ.'

Playing in Toronto, YYZ! What a thrill for the hometown crowd. Rush rules!

Vital Signs has ALWAYS BEEN my favorite song! As a 15 year old, listening to Moving Pictures for the first time... VITAL SIGNS spoke to me. Yes, I have been deviating from the NORM ever since!!!!

in 1989, at the peak of the bay area thrash explosion, when I was more or less convinced that was the only music worth listening to, I got my hands on a live album from a band I had not cared for much until then: Rush, Show of hands. Not only was it love at first listen, it was the best live recording I had ever heard and outclassed my favorites at that time, Priest's Unleashed in the east and Tokyo Tapes from the Scorpions. And together with those it opened the door to the world of 70's bands for me. I wish Rush had visited Europe more often. There were not many opportunities to see them on stage here.

I am not sure how these guys managed to perform so extremely close to the studio versions - every single night. I've got wild amounts of respect for the work they put down.

I will never not feel sad that I never had the chance to see Rush live and in person. Too late did I realize that this band was so much more than just a few radio hits.

Still as good today as it ever was. I love the anniversary editions,reliving the excitement of getting the original album but now with extra material to enjoy too. Time has flown by so quickly.

Debuted in my weekly personal music charts on March 20, 2022 edition :)

Awesome! I wish I had been old enough during this time to see some of these early to mid 80s tours. I think this was the peak of Geddy's vocals. He could still do all the old material but his melodies really improved so much during this time with these 80's albums.

Wow! Fantastic remix! I saw Rush in San Diego in 1981 during this tour. It was my first time seeing them live. A concert that still plays in my mind. They were on fire!! All 3 aspects of this band. RIP Professor....

Sounds very heavily inspired by The Police with the reggae guitar and somewhat-reggae drum beat. But I love how they take it and make it their own, giving it a computerized sound! Lee, Lifeson, and Peart were in a class by themselves above all others. Long live the Kings!

Ahhhh my boys!!! Our three Canadian Masters!!! My life would not be the same without you all.... I grew up at Danforth and Pape Ave!!!! Cheers 🍻

I was 15 - just getting my fingers around guitar and this is the song that really pulled me into playing bass, especially the solo. First time I heard it, I kept picking the needle up an dropping it back on the record. First I picked it out on guitar, then on a friend's bass since I didn't own one yet. I still love playing this song on bass.

For a while back in the day, this was my fave tune from Moving Pictures. I loved the studio video. This is a great recording, so true to the album version.

This rivals the "Experience to Extremes" version of Vital Signs for me!

I really prefer the sound of these earlier live shows--guitar and bass tones especially--compared to how they sounded from the late 1990s on. In the name of sounding heavier they wound up sounding overly distorted and sludgy.

Went right to my Playlist 👍
