"Lakeside Park" is probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Nostalgic, sweet, with a carefree summer vibe. It's like aural wine.
Agreed! That's why it's my favorite tuneOFALLTIME!!!I've actually been to Lakeside Park a few times - once on the 24th of May!Tell me THAT'S not a trip!!!
Drinking by the lighthouse, smoking by the pier... 🇺🇸😎🤘🏻🇨🇦
the worlds most functional band, haven't had a member replacement in almost 50 years, and are still fucking amazing
+Larry Johnson It's actually surprising that they all still remain friends. There's not too many bands you can say that can pull that off.
VultureClone they are the very peak of great musicians being great people
The front cover of Fly By Night was done by Eraldo Carugati, who later did the paintings for the cover of the four Kiss solo albums in 1978.
It's actually Hugh Syme (pronounced "sīm"). That's how Alex Lifeson pronounced. It during the episode of Classic Albums that chronicled both 2112 and Moving Pictures.
We didn't hear that version, but we checked three pronunciation sites to try and get it right. Our apologies to Hugh if we are incorrect.
Exactly!
The McKenzie bros. were hilarious for a second! Something you don't think of until you are reminded. That is great they got Geddy to sing for them. I had forgotten. Canada is probably underrated, but I wouldn't know because I have never been there.
They've also appeared on a Kim Mitchell (Max Webster) & Jeff Berlin album.
misterfunnybones Neil alone appeared on Berlin's Champion album. Jeff did dedicate the song All The Greats to all three Rush members on the subsequent Pump It! album. Neil played some percussion on the Rheostatics album Whale Music. Alex has played on songs by I Mother Earth and Porcupine Tree. Geddy appeared on the debut of Rocket Science, his nephew Rob Higgins' band at that time. These are just off the top of my head. They have done more individual guest appearances. AFAIK, Max Webster's Battlescar was the only one the whole band played on. I could be wrong...
Best band ever!!!!!!!!
In Sep. '74, I went to Seattle Paramount to see this crazy new band called KISS.
Opening band ?........ Rush !!!
Then in Oct. '76 Rush played the tiny Bicentennial Pavilion in Tacoma (just a floor with a roof). Met them at a very small record store (Music Menu in Lakewood)... damn nice guys ! Laughing and joking... and they stayed for well over an hour. Long past meeting the only 50 or so people that showed up.
And then ???.... well... many shows at Seattle Coliseum, and Tacoma Dome, and White River and...
July 19th in Seattle this year !!! Gotta be close to my 20th time ? I dunno.
Also... narrator mentioned "reggae" in a song. The middle part of "Spirit Of Radio" (where they twist a few lyrics from Simon and Garfunkel), is pure reggae.
Tacoma, I would give your right arm to have seen one of the Kiss-Rush shows. That must have been quite a sight. I haven't missed a Rush show since 1984 and each time they got better and better. But I couldn't imagine seeing them in a small club when they were trying to make a name for themselves.
Speaking of Spirit of Radio... Did you know that all those weird staggers and time signature changes were aimed to replicate the sound of surfing channels?
AnubisXII Ha ! Good observation !
Pharrell likes Rush?
Interesting.
+David Rinden Because he's happy.
Yeah, why not? Variety is the spice of life.
David Rinden it sure isn't reflected in his music
long time relationship that began at fly night that reggae could not kill Uhhhhh Neil Peart!!!!!
Rush kicks so much asssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!
They kick so much ass soon wont be any ass left for them to kick!!!!!!!!
david gold They melt faces too!
"Fly By Night" began another somewhat important partnership fot them, as well, with that new drummer fella, Whats-his-name....
Ten Bucks is Ten Bucks. Nice video
Can't beat rush :)
Yea, I already knew all of this.
0:46 that's them playing at my school
I said the other day "how cool it must have been to be one of the kids in the audience!" Lol.
I love Rush they were Awsome
Do a Queen episode please!! great videos
True Rush fans know that their greatest collaboration-and only one with all three guys(as far as I know)- was with their friends Max Webster, on Max’ song Battle Scar. Two complete bands-double everything, plus keyboards. One of the most epic songs of all time!
Rush is amazing. 😀👍🤘🎸
Honestly, I learned nothing... knew this all already.
One of those McKenzie brothers looks like Rick Moranis.
伝説ですね😊😊
Might have mentioned that Fly by Night is the debate of Neil Peart.
yknow 10 bucks is 10 bucks
Hate to brag but I've been listening to Rush since 1976. The people who made this video ought to know there are a ton of more interesting things about this mammoth sounding power trio than the few tidbits put into this vid.
Ed Young Interesting Titbit, it's a little morsel a Tit would eat, a Tit being a type of bird, not Burd which is of course totty (not Titty) if you catch my drift. I assume you're one of our Cousins from across the pond, don't be frightened of saying Titbits, it's just a word and it won't hurt anyone. 😉 on a different note, my brother gave me a B.O.C Album and Fly By Night for Xmas 1983 when I was 16, he wasn't interested in rock music and they weren't very big over hear in England He sadly died a few months later, I have often wondered why I got those albums but I guess I'll never know now. I'm glad I did though. BTW Don't get offended by my comment I thought I would just have s laugh and write some drivel.
2:38 did I just hear you say TH-cam page?
i had that cassette of bob and doug mckenzie back in the day, bought it only because of geddy, after listening to everything on it, i liked it and wore it out. btw- i never did figure out what a "tuk" was, or is it spelled tuke or took, hell, i dunno, i'll just take off, eh.?.
@jim jam A tuque (I just looked up the spelling!) is the Canadian word for beanie!
If you’ve never seen it, look for the TV show SCTV. That’s where Bob and Doug came from, not to mention the big breaks for John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Andrea Martin, Martin Short, some others. Many Saturday Night Live alumni, came through that show.
@@Scorchinscotty hey thanks, ya, didn't know the correct spelling for the word. i remember watching sctv back in the day, i remember a lot of stars coming from that show, i don't remember the tuque from it but i do remember bob and doug from that show. i'm getting old. lol. eh.?.
@@jimjam1719 Don’t forget to pick up some back bacon, eh!
I knew all that shit. I want my 3 minutes back.
Agreed
Bit basic on your knowledge of Rush.. This is for those who obviously know nothing of Rush.
Why is Rush a classic rock band if they're still writing and releasing music together?
If I'm correct classic rock is defined by the instruments used.
Do ELO next!
John Rutsey was not at all a bad drummer - not Peart, of course, but good for the style of the first album.
I was a huge fan until "Grace Under Pressure;" when they started sounding more like U2 or Tears For Fears. I hated the syndrums Peart used.
Not all of them are from Toronto. Alex Lifeson is from Fernie, BC, Neil Peart is from the area of St. Catharines, Ontario. Only Geddy Lee is from the Toronto area (Willowdale, Ontario, north of a now-closed Royal Canadian Air Force base, Downsview).
Darth Pariah Rutsey was good but I doubt they would be doing an R40 tour if Peart hadn't replaced him.
Why did they get a new drummer? What happened to their first one?
He had health issues that made it difficult for him to tour. They also had creative differences, with John wanting to play more traditional rock and Geddy and Alex wanting to play more experimental prog music.
there's this thing called 'Google' - you should try it some time.
*****
thnx
Such Is Life No problem.
***** He was really the catalyst that boosted them into prog.
They didn't actually pay him ten bucks. It was a joke for the movie Strange Brew.
Except, that was 10 dollars, Canadian. Canadian bills look much different than US ones...much more colour!
Much more gay too. Because they are Canadian.
Huh. Looks like Terry Brown was right. After Signals, Rush just didn't have it like their music did in the 70s. Nothing Rush has done since then can compare to the 7 albums leading up to Signals.
Fully agree nothing they did after moving pictures was nearly as good! I asked them about why they did not do a follow up to 2112! A Farewell to Kings had Hemispheres, which sort of followed up! I saw them in their prime on the Permanent Waves Tour in 81 which never played their home town Toronto! Had to go to Buffalo, NY with Max Webster opening to see them!
I love Signals, it's the first Rush album I bought and it will always be my fav, although I'd probably recommend Rush newbies start with Moving Pictures. Digital Man f'ing rocks by the way. (You were wrong, Terry)
i agree, however, signals is one of my top 3 albums of theirs, of course moving pictures was and is their pinnacle of masterpieces, #1 all the way, hands down. i believe they should have stopped their progression of new wave type of rock direction with grace under pressure and went back to their original vibe or maybe more of moving pictures vibe. that moving pictures album is a monster!!!
Clockwork Angels and Snakes & Arrows are both phenomenal albums.
@@lvgelfling72 nice pic.
Hugh Seeme? That's how it's pronounced?
Pete Collins did amazing after Brown anyway
Wow. A band that's been around for over 40 years and you couldn't even get the video over three minutes long. This would be real cute for a video production class in high school but Jesus! Think you know Rush? I know a fuck of a lot more than you do apparently
It was nothing to do with reggae. Broon hated all the Keyboards and the electronic percussion etc.
Rush is a pretty cool band, don't really like the singers voice that much though.
geddy gets that a lot hasn't stopped him in 40 years.
IMO, it's one of the MANY things about Rush that makes them one of the greatest!
ya, some of my friends growing up would tease me about his singing, sounded like a girl, make fun of me for being a hardcore rush fan, they use to also tease me about the song "spirit of radio", the part where geddy would say "and echoes with the sound of salesman, of salesman, ooooffffff SALESMAN"!! they would laugh and yell SALESMAN or ad lib "SPACEMAN" in it's place. they would laugh and make fun so much, i just grinned and bared it. i feel geddy has an authentic voice that is very recognizable when you hear it. no one else sounds like him. in order to be recognizable and authentic, you can't sound like anyone else in the industry. i like geddy's voice based on those reasons. to each his own.
