      Amen to that. I've heard a lot of bands, but Rush's back catalogue stands up to any, anywhere, from any period. We were fortunate to know them, appreciate their art, see them live and have their music to pass on.

    Neil Peart (R.I.P.) was one of the most highly regarded and influential drummers/percussionists of our time. He's been described as a walking army of percussion. His body of work is massive. He also wrote most of the lyrics of their songs as well. Thanks Professor for all your music over the years. We miss you. BTW - Rush concerts were generally anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 hours long and somewhere in there, Neil had an epic drum solo.

      I was at their moving pictures concert at the Cleveland Coliseum in Richfield Ohio in 1981. They played a total of 25 songs at least 3 hours. I had listened to all of the work before that and Neil was by far the best drummer/percussionist period his lyrics and beats took me on musical journeys like no other. It is tragic the way his life ended right when he was just retiring and enjoying what he had built over the years. Yes Rush is an amazing example of talent in the music industry.

      I saw them in Frankfurt (Festhalle) in ‘82 for their Signals tour. Peart drum kit wasn’t that expansive but he did have a lot of percussion and tubular bells. Of course he had a drum solo. See the newer one of him in Frankfurt with this drum kit.

    The washing machines are there because Geddy stopped playing through his amp stack and goes in direct through the main sound board. With the amps gone it looked odd so they filled in the space with washing machines. - sometimes its chickens on a rotisserie. Either way its an interesting way to solve the problem, and it speaks to the band's sense of humor.

      Not true my brother and I went into the venue early we got to Geddys side of the stage and saw a stack of orange amplifiers at stage right and we were chased out. Apparently we weren't supposed to see that 😁 so no Geddy does not just plug straight into the board.

    You’ve only scratched the surface of RUSH, they have over 40 years of musical magic! A typical RUSH concert is approximately 3 hours with a short intermission. You may want to check out some of their live concerts like Exit… Stage Left, Grace Under Pressure, Live in Rio, R30, Clock Work Angels, R40, and my personal favourite, the Time Machine Tour from 2011.

    In answer to one of your questions Mr H:

      The shirts loaded in the dryers were passed out after the cycle finished, emblazoned with 'this shirt came from dryer #1 (2,3) on the (insert appropriate) tour'. Never got one, too far from the stage. They had a crew member come out and load the shirts and quarters, yes they were laundromat dryers and apparently a hassle for them to obtain (can't have mismatched appliances)

      That's right. Just as importantly, they wrote and played the music they wanted to despite record company pressures or often ridicule/ignorance from haters or lazy people who couldn't listen past Geddy's voice. As I read in The Times' obituary of Neil Peart here in the UK, they stayed true to themselves and the 16 year old who would never 'bow to the man'. I will love this band forever.

    The song after the amazing intro is "The Spirit Of Radio", one of Rush's biggest ever hits.
    The intro itself contains short snippets of many Rush tracks woven together.
    This is all just totally gobsmacking in its epicness - all three of them just killing it - Neil on drums, showing why he really was just about the best ever behind a kit - Alex, as generally understated, but masterful as always, and Geddy pounding the bass, and still singing as only he can, even after so many years.
    Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant - that is all.

Neil is consistently rated as one of the best drummers of all time. Actually Alex and Geddy also get high ratings too, with Geddy considered to be one of the best rock bassists and Alex highly respected by guitarists everywhere.

  • @matthewkolb1694
    @matthewkolb1694 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Yes, this was just the show intro. Only 2.5 hours of music to follow. I saw this tour twice, both indoor and outdoor. In addition to their god-level talent, endless catalogue, and seasoned stage presence they maintain a brilliant pace of show, it's a fast 3 hours. As I think back there was really only 8 or so pauses to collect myself, they just keep going with setlists that allow emotions to just flow into each other.
    For each of the 3 times I saw Rush live the drum solo from Neil (2 hours into set, 30 mins after intermission) stole the show. I was numb the first time I heard/saw his solo live. I just remember Geddy and Alex coming on stage after the solo, acoustic guitars in hand setting up to give Neil a rest, while we are roaring for Neil. They look at each other, shrug, put their guitars down and join us in cheering for Neil's greatness. It was probably 5-10 minutes before they resumed the show, just enjoying the moment. That tour was in support of Vapor Trails, the first album following Neil's family tragedy and 5 year hiatus from playing. Looking back that brief moment of communal unadulterated joy in admiration of Neil is my lasting memory of him.

    The main song (after about 7 minutes) was The Spirit of Radio. It's about how music should be about artistry and integrity, not just money. The title was also the slogan of a Toronto radio station, which was an indie/alternative/new wave station which shook things up around here in those days.
    Neil Peart also wrote the lyrics to the vast majority of their songs, as well as being the best percussionist of his time.
    The instrumental intro includes snippets from about a dozen of their songs. A true Rush fan could name every one of them, but I recognized Finding My Way, Anthem, Free Will, Bastille Day, and A Passage To Bangkok.
    Rush created songs that covered entire sides of vinyl albums, and even had a song that started on one album, then had "to be continued", and was the first side of the next album. If you're willing to do a 20 minute reaction some time, you should check out "2112" (twenty-one twelve), which was the first side of the album of the same name. It is awesome.
    Their most brilliant instrumental (IMO) is La Villa Strangiato, and is also worth checking out.

    I was a rock drummer for over 40 years. I started aged 8. I had no lessons, I just picked up the sticks and started playing my brothers friends kit. Still not sure how that works. You build up stamina and strength in your arms. But if your technique is right you allow the bounce of the heads to do most of the work. You remember all the parts, but it takes months of rehearsals to get it tight. I've had a few people ask me to teach them, but I can tell within a couple of minutes whether they're gonna manage it or not. You need really good hand, eye coordination and a natural sense of rhythm and be able to move your hands and feet seperately. As you pointed out it's a bit like flying a chopper, it gets to the point where you no longer have to think about it. Amazing reaction dude. ✌️♥️🇬🇧

    Best drummer of all time. Neil's body of work will live for ever. I was so privileged to be influenced by Neil's style and organization. His joy when he was in town before a concert on the local FM radio station while he quickly explains his lyrics, music, time signatures and arrangements. Privileged for the chance to enjoy his amazing magical moments of rhythm, story and amusement through out the thirty some concerts that I was lit up for in so many States and so many states of mind. I always Rushed growing up. Big Wheel Thank you Neil Geddy and Alex. Privileged.... Neil is so sadly missed.

    I saw Rush on this tour in Glasgow on the 14th Sep 04, this dvd was recorded in Frankfurt on the 24th Sep 04. The tumble dryers were there as I remember for two reasons; Lorne Wheaton (Neil's drum tech) was behind them so he was closer to Neil( he popped out a few times through out the evening)and they were also full of t-shirts that they threw into the audience at the end of the two and a half hour concert. These shirts were not available anywhere else. The intro was a medley of songs that Rush always played on tour, they wanted to change the play list with a slightly different one so they came up with this amazing "overture" so they weren't left out. After the concert my ears were ringing for hours with the volume. I think Rush sounded every bit as good live as they did on recordings.
    They also want back to England to do a secon concert in Birmingham before going to Germany because of demand.

    i saw this show live in ahoi, the netherlands.
    In the dryers are towels that they handed out to the audience at the ending of the show.
    The "intro" is a compilation of different songs.
    Watch this drum solo of neil pearth, the drummer of rush in frankfurt germany.
    Neil is concidered one of the best drummers ever.

    Rush stopped having someone open their shows in the late 80s. they would play for about an hour and 20 minutes then take a 15-20 break then come back for the 2nd part which included Neil's drum solo. With the encore they usually played about 3 hours

      I can remember when Neils drum solo was the Alex and Geddy's break. When he finished his drum solo they would play "The Trees" on 6 and 12 string guitars acoustically to give Neil a break.

    Trivia note: the cover photo of Neil Peart’s book “Roadshow” was taken just as they kicked into the first few notes of this intro. The photographer jumped up on the back of Neil’s riser, snapped maybe 2-3 quick shots in about 5 seconds, and then jumped back down.

  • @playbassken

    Okay, time to answer some of your questions on this from a life-long RUSH fan. First off, they are my favorite band EVER and Neil Peart was the G.O.A.T. on drums (RIP, Neil). I saw this tour twice with the first show in Tampa, then in S. Florida and start to finish both shows were off the chain! The dryers are a funny story in their own and had t-shirts in them that were tossed out by dudes dressed like Angus Young from AC/DC during the show. Alex had his huge stacks of guitar amps on his side of the stage, but Geddy played bass through nothing more than a wireless unit into a Sansamp direct box straight to the PA. Alex told him he needed something on his side to balance out the show, so this was Geddy's humorous response (these guys could all be comedians if they ever wanted to change careers LOL!). On the tour afterward he started having rotisserie chicken and popcorn vending machines (seriously). Three incredible musicians with a sense of humor that brought us 40+ years of amazing music with lyrics that invoked civility, humanity and deep thought.

    Neil once was ask if he kept some of his energy by lightly playing in the first half of the concert and giving it all at his solo? Neil respond by saying " no I give 110% through all the concerts" :-)

    This intro was just Rush's way of getting more of their songs into the show. They had forty years of music and it became more and more difficult to put them all in. The intro was a medley of six songs followed by a complete playthrough of "Spirit of Radio". Their shows were usually about three hours long which just isn't enough time to do all of their stuff justice.

  • @jonblake2268
    @jonblake2268 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's just RUSH.... In the later years! You heard 6 songs in what 12 to 15 minutes getting the people ready for the next 3 and 1/2 hours of complete joy!!

  • @RoarOfWolverine
    @RoarOfWolverine 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The intro was a medley of songs from the 1970s from their first self titled album to , Fly By Night, Caress Of Steel, 2112 (their masterpiece) up to A Farewell To Kings. Then they start with “Spirit Of Radio”, from their Permanent Waves album that came out in 1980.
    All of those songs from the 70s have lyrics and vocals, they just left them out because Geddy use to sing so high back then that it would strain his voice right there at the start of the night.
    The fans know those songs by heart and recognize each one and know the lyrics enough to sing along if they can manage those ridiculously high notes he used to sing.
    Neil Peart, the drummer, is widely considered one of the greatest rock drummers of all time. In fact, drummers voted him best drummer in Modern Drummer Magazine, so many years in a row that they retired him from voting and into their Hall Of Fame, just so someone else would have a chance to win the vote for a year or two.
    There is sheet music for drums, but Peart wrote all of those parts and knows them by heart. He sometimes wears headphone to hear a click track so he can keep time with some of the recorded parts or the MIDI time for triggered samples.
    Yes, Rush in their final tours played a three hour show, with no opening act and only a short break for Neil to get a breather. Alex and Geddy usually played some acoustic numbers during the break, so it was a full 3 hour show. I have seen Rush live every tour since Permanent Waves in 1980 right up to the R40 tour in 2015. You have to consider they were in their 50s and even 60s for those tours, so three hours is awesome.
    They were the best band to see live IMHO. Every Rush show was the best concerts I have ever seen. The perfectionism of their musicianship was jaw dropping. There will never be a band like them. Just seeing Peart live was a treat, especially his drum solos. The best drum solos ever done.

    @ronayotte3571 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Geddy Lee's bass was directly plugged into the sound system instead of having a lot of amps. He needed to have something to fill his side of the stage, so he used things like washer/dryers, chicken rotisseries, and a bunch of different-sized horns and antique machinery steampunk style.
