We who saw them this tour are among the luckiest in human history. This setlist was all the best stuff I thought I was too young to have ever seen, and they just killed it. RIP Neil Peart, you will live forever.

- was there that night in St. Paul Best rock show ever! Was on floor center 12 rows back!

Arguably.. very arguably , the best Rush song ever…. no , I shouldn’t say things like that but this is absolute musical perfection

17 years old in December 2 and 3 back to back Friday and Saturday night in 1982 in NY NY are my first and second out of countless times I had the pleasure and privilege to see them and I knew them and I now I know for sure that all of us who were there we'll never see hear and experience anything close to Rush again.

RIP Neil. Will never be the same without you. Godspeed.

One of the most talented bands in history. Alex is arguably one of the best underrated guitarists, Geddy and The professor are arguably the greatest at their instruments....well never see another Rush.

Geddy's voice is freaking amazing this tour.. what the heck!!! best it sounded in like 15+ years

Kyle Hartle not only that this is in STANDARD TUNING!!! =)

Peart was one of a kind...missed greatly!! To me Xanadu really showcased everything Rush is about. This song is so freakin amazing still!!! Timeless!

7:44 *goofy Geddy being goofy Geddy* 7:45 Geddy: "Oh shit! I have to go kick some more ass and sing the lyrics!!

So nice to see the doublenecks back in action. An iconic vision of the consistently best live band ever.

Was there that night in St. Paul. Best concert I have ever attended! 12th Row center on the floor.

That’s some badass stuff. Literally the best song by the best band.

Love you and miss you Neil...you live on through the music

Big Band Big Musicians Big Rush ... from

RIP Neil Peart. Love you man.

Absolute masters at their craft. Best band ever

I miss them so much. After seeing them at least ten times live, I still can't stop watching these phenomenal performances.

They came to Rochester alot ....being so close to Toronto! Truly the best band of all time !

Amazing that after all these years they still have the precision and magic they always had. Sure Geddy's voice is showing signs of ageing, but I can relate to that. Thanks for posting, I really enjoyed this video. I saw them in 1979 and even then I was blown away by how much like their recorded stuff their live music was.

Lucky enough to see them play high?schools and bars. Way more than 100 times, live. I'm sure that between bars and concert halls, stadiums, and vinyl, something to do with Rush is why my ears always ring. More like a constant cicada.

I was here for this.

Thanks.. Finally twin ricky back on stage

25th for me. 😀

ahhh times were much simpler when Dirk and Lerxst used the Double-Necks

Great show this and Jacob's Ladder were the best!

I like how Geddy tosses his pick at the end, like: "Here, have this pick... I won't be needing it anymore".

This is my new favorite live version of Xanadu.

when I saw them play this in 1977 I knew then I was a fan for life....

My favorite from the eveing. Thank you so much!

Rush, the greatest ever.... RIP Neil you are missed...

Excellent video!

+manof steele that and his body is shot. When you have to drum Rush songs, it doesn't get easier as you get older.

I think Geddy was 63 at the time of this video. Remarkable voice for his age. Rush never gets old. So good.

Just enough cow bell, love it.

Brings tears to my eyes!! Magnificent!!!

I saw this show 4 times. Tulsa OK, Dallas TX, Houston TX and San Antonio(or Austin cant remember). Knew that after listening to 'The Garden' they were done. This is my favorite all time song. Getting home at 4am and having to go to work sucked.

rush simplesmente a maior banda de todos os tempos!!!

Very nice video. I took one as well and uploaded from the 5th row, was my favorite song of the night.

Boys, you gotta carry that weight... Thanks for bringing back the double-necks.

Fantastic lighting !!!!!

Gentlemen, don't hang it up! You have created the only music today that that doesn't lower my IQ when I listen to it. Seriously, I can listen to only so much Bach! I hope to attend a concert promoting your newest creation in 2017! Thanks for all the wonderful music.

Thanks for sharing! I'm going to see Rush this Sat in VA and then in Detroit a couple weeks after. I am losing my mind, it can't come soon enough!

TheFubarFrenzy ikr. Took 90 mins just to get out of parking lot. And then the traffic after u finally got out

My favorite song!! I am seeing them tonite. I cannot even express how much i hope they play this song. Looks like they will. I don't think they've played this since i saw them the first time, in '81. (could be wrong, but i've seen them like 10 times, and that was the only time i saw them play this)

If you're only going to shoot one video from this tour, this was the song! Saw them in Detroit this weekend, incredible show.

Hard to believe this happened over 7 years ago already

Thank you. Geddy sings this well after all these years!

Really nice video, sounds just the way I remember. One of the best bands on the planet!!! Thx. for posting it.

Just saw them in Alpharetta, GA two nights ago. Still have a smile on my face from this gem, Jacob's Ladder and Red Barchetta. Thank you for posting the AMAZING VIDEO!!!

this track just gets better as it gets older, great footage, well done.

Awsome. I always wanted to see RUSH in concert but never got the chance. I saw the Who once, and they were great.

Just for the record, the Bird in the intro would be a Wood Thrush.

Nice! I was up in club section and shot just the intro to this. Cool to see this from a front row perspective.

Great show last night. Throat still hoarse. Xanadu a definite high point. Well done on the vid.

Fuck man, what a treat to be so close!

Thanks! Wonderful to hear this one again last night.

THANK YOU for this! It was AMAZING!!! Such a great show, and what a wonderful crowd of good people...

This is a great view! Most of us wish you had more to share. I was at the show in GA the week after this.

Fantastic video, great sound and picture! Thanks for sharing! I was fortunate enough to see the show in Atlanta which honestly may be the best show I've ever seen in 30 years of going to concerts :)

That was great to hear,,brought back a lot of memories.

Excellent footage!

Peartwill live for all eternity as one of the Gients !!dedicated to the craft!!

Beautiful double neck rick

Front row center in Vancouver. Had the tickets now for 2 months and the build up is just insane. This will be only 6th show I've seen of them. Seen them front row in Seattle on CA tour and it was best show I've ever seen. Seen u2, metallic, acdc van Halen scorpions iron Maiden Judas priest primus foo fighters pink Floyd joe satriani eric Johnson Steve Vai. Rush absolutely is no doubt greatest live rock act out there and have been for a very very long time. Front row worth every penny. I just seen u2 on this 2015 tour and was very disappointed.

Very cool video..thanks! I haven't been to any shows..but from the vids I 've seen ..it's seemed pretty cool that the "stage hands" were stripping the set back to the beginning thru-out the show.

i was lucky enough to witness this in Austin, 12 row center got my ass kicked!! love these guys and i was not let down at all!! best fucking band ever!!

Thank you for sharing! Awesome job!

Prog and Rush forever! We miss you Neil!

Saw them tonight in Tampa..great as usual.

Nice to see Ampeg in play

Beautiful !

Enjoyed this video! All the best!!

Wow! That was amazing show.

I've never heard this song live! It's awesome

Neil does it with no effort!!!!!

Wow. Thanks not only for sharing, but thanks for making a really good, watchable video! Either you had a tripod or hands of steel, and you were good about zooming or widening sparingly, at the right times. I only wish you kept filming as I hear the next song was 2112. EXCELLENT JOB!!!

Squire Hogg I rested my hands on the rail in the front row. That's what made it steady.

Amazing!

just amazing…was hoping they'd do this tune on their "last" tour. First show was Moving Pictures in 1981 Philadelphia Spectrum

Three musical geniuses.

Damn, Geddy sounds great! I can't wait to make the trip to YYZ next weekend for my 14th show.

I've been a fan since the 70's long live RUSH. The world will be a darker place when they stop teuring. I've been to every teur from hemesphiers on and havn't missed one.

Great video... thanks for sharing!

Surprised that Alex picked those opening notes instead of using the volume swells.

I could be wrong but it seemed like his set up wasnt working quite properly in that intro piece. The volume swells werent fading in that well, you arent really supposed to be able to hear the initial plucking of the note... then when the song kicks in at full volume you can hear he doesnt quite get the volume and full tone he's wanting at first. The problem seems to get corrected at about 02:15

I missed my chance to see them :( They have been my favorite band through my life and I missed it :(

Glad to see the Rickenbacker back in Geddy's hands.

These guys are human?.... Love the way you filmed Geddy mostly. Back then he was consistently the most engaging, energetic of the two frontmen. Actually, always, I guess. Sorry, Alex. Great solos!✌🤟😘

How can Geddy see the moog pedals with all that smoke? LOL. Great footage...can't wait for DC tomorrow! Thanks!

Twin dbl necks & Neil behind a dbl bass kit. Just like oldtimes!

Calgary tomorrow! I can't wait!

Awesome!

PURE MAGIC! When are you going to play GREECE live?!

Seeing them next week HOLY SHITBALLS I CAN'T WAIT.

It's actually remarkable that Getty can still sing that high. He obviously does not do it as well as he once did, but it's remarkable nonetheless.

Cool to see the two Marshall stacks behind Alex. Just like the first time I saw them in 1976
