Three guys in their fifties after a three hour show and no need to sit down that is amazing
Not sure what more they could have done really. Show me another band that can perform with their energy and enthusiasm at their age. There can't be many.
Nobody boos at a Rush show, people that don't like Rush just don't go, everyone there loves Rush.
This is their pinnacle as a rock band. IMHO.
And the new guy on drums is pretty good too.
This was the last song of the encore (after La Villa) at the end of a 3 hour show, in the city that gave them their U.S. start.
Dude have you heard this before? 😂 This entire concert was awesome. Rush is awesome PERIOD. I regret never seeing them live.
Agreed, this whole tour was a high-point for post-2000 Rush, and I've been to them all since 1981.
The greatest 3 piece rock band in history, no contest.
Please watch AC/DC let there be rock 1978 live (BBC Rock goes to college)
Thats a fair swipe at nirvana bro. Not that I disagree
I was there and it blew me away when they did it this way. Best rendition ever.
Man, i love your approach to this channel! Its so obvious when other Reactors pretend to be hearing a song for the first time and they have all this insight and analysis over each tiny detail that is obvious they either ripped off or spent some time thinking about before hand. You however, Dave, are so competent and enthusiastic you dont need to bullshit anyone. Its a rare rare thing to see. Thanks!!
FEELIN' YOU Greg!!! That's been my number one goal for this channel from day one. Honesty and Integrity.
@@THEDavidHeretic David Heretic, the *honest* heretic. 😎
Glad you enjoyed it. Of course, to so many of us Rush fanatics this is a solid 10 on all levels 🤷🏻♂️ but everyone has their favorites and so be it. At this point of time, Rush was the one 70’s band that still had their complete arsenal of secret sauce and why I felt they were the best band on the planet 🌎 They could still create new, interesting and innovative music while being able to perform their incredible, expansive music catalog faithfully and forcefully; and as shown here, in new and interesting ways. Bringing that Reggae music into the last 5 minutes of a 2:40 Rush show was an unexpected and cool vibe to transition into a show closer of the first big song of their career and we all loved it live. Then to have them go ape-crazy ballistic was mega-joy inducing. To me and many others, Rush was the greatest band of our lives and we’re just overjoyed we lived in the era of Rush. Rock On! 🤘🏼🔥🎸😎
Rush is a no frills type band not really known for putting on a huge production except musically, everyone loved seeing them pull off that great music live with only the 3 of them.
No frills type band ? Their music is full” of Frills to me
Check this out, I have seen smoke,awesome lighting,lasers,cool video to go with the songs, 100ft. Inflatable rabbits,fireworks and fire! And antics on the stage.
The end of a 3 hour set in their mid 50’s? I’d say they gave it pretty much everything they had. Cleveland was always their first fan base in the US & it shows. Killed it. Period.
Late 50's
Got to see them for the first time during this tour ... caught their first night of Red Rocks. Absolutely magical. Great review of the PERFORMANCE and hope you do more Rush reactions.
Oh yeah loving me some Rush! I especially like the old school 70s Rush. (That would be a Spinal Tap reference I think) Anyways back to Rush. A reggae version of Working Man? Well it's their song why not? The transition was cool I agree. Like the improv on the breakdown. Seems a fair score. Great reaction!
Thank you so much for doing some old school RUSH.... This was the first Rush song I learned to play and it has a special place in my heart. The score was totally fair for just the production, the version of the song musically for me was really cool. great job reacting as always.... Rock on my brother
Three guys pushing sixty playing the last song of a three hour set. Such energy.
Rush is simply amazing!
Thank you David!
So glad you did this review/reaction!
Love this live version!
One of my favorite live performances by anyone! Alex Lifeson freakin kills it! As does Geddy Lee & Neil
as always!
Thanks again! You rock
my friend!
Til the next 1☮
💥💯🖤🎼🤘
RIP Neil Peart
Dave, some bands you go to listen to, some you go to see and some blend both. Rush is a band you go to listen to, just like going to a symphony. You don't expect the first violin to sprint across the stage to interact with the trombones, right? I've always leaned towards the listen side in the bands that I like, but do love me some theatrics too (hello BABYMETAL), Peace.
First time seeing your channel. I like how you react to the performance itself. That's cool and unique. And yeah, your rating is very fair. RUSH hasn't really ever been about a performance. They're a listen to us band. They have some fun, they interact a bit. But with each of them playing like 5 instruments makes it a little harder for them to move around a lot. They have to remain by their keyboards and pedals. I love the transition back to the rock version from reggae on this one. A few words before it happens Geddy gives a little grin because he knows what's about to happen.
🤣🤣 that extra long warning for the score, 🤣🤣
Amazing
I can't believe you never heard this song before /s. Lol Sorry I had to say it. Loved your reaction. Loved Rush's performance. Yes they are not the most visual group (there will never be another Freddie Mercury), but they make up for it with pure musicianship (that's another of the factors in the analysis, some groups sound good in the studio but can't play live). You sold me, I'm subscribing.
I saw them on their Power Windows tour, Worcester, MA. That performance was a 6.9. It was a perfect replaying of their songs I remember. Not much interaction with the audience or each other and thought not much reason to see these guys again. But here? I think there was something very special going on in the breakdown on this one. They were out for blood. At times it felt like a 3-man fight against the naysayers again. They're playing so hard, but so loose. And to add reggae and Cygnus? I love a band that's always creating. Cheers to Rush!
Spinal Tap, and I can't believe...😉
People (some) are just moronic. Love your honesty 🤘
Late here I was looking for this answer. Wow slow people. Lol
I saw this show thanks to my Brother in Law. Center isle. Was Moving Pictures 1st half.
oink oink oink oink oink NO I DONT CARE IF I WANT TO GO BACK I GO BACK! XD gets me every time
Legends, nuff said. Three of the best to ever do it. Surely everyone got the Spinal Tap reference.
I can't believe you've never heard this song before.... /s 😇
Awesome review as always. I did not expect that version either. Loved every minute of it! 🤘
PS: I await all the "idiot" comments to come in. Thank you very much! ♥
I'm sure many have heard rush songs, but not the seen the video, that's cool react to the video...
Cheers...
I had the sad experience of living in Hawaii. I was there 3 1/2 years and that was 3 years 5 months too long.
The only thing that kept me sane was a nearby nightclub that had live music every Friday and Saturday nights.
There was a band that played this song and I requested it every time I went there. So when they came in and
saw me they KNEW that was on the docket for that night.
I appreciate what they're doing here but I'm not really high on the reggae kickoff.
I cant believe.........
I have never heard this song before. Australian radio sucks. They've never played a rush song in their life. I'm sure if some b grade modern alternative rock band from the mid 90's covered a rush song they'd probably play it a thousand times in the first month and talk about this great sounding new band though
Spinal Tap
At 10:50 Getty’s bass was misbehaving. So of course he slapped the shit out of it⚡️👊🏽
i love this reaction
David, on your second watch, I know you're a bass player so were probably focussed on Geddy, but did you SEE what Alex was doing to that guitar in the middle section?!
Where?
@@THEDavidHeretic It's what he does when he goes up the neck and runs out of frets.
That's the thing with Rush, there's always so much going on with the playing alone, they don't need a lot more going on up on the stage. It's probably too much to take in on a first listen really. I also thought some of the camera angles were excellent when they captured Geddy and Alex striking poses together.
You know what they say...No one expects the Spanish Inquisition, or Geddy to change it up mid phrase.
SPINAL TAP!!!
David, I can't believe that you haven't heard this song before LIVE from 2011? :) lol I just wanted to be pinned at the Top ! In all seriousness though loved this version of the song, and the cheesy outtake at the end, thanks for the another entertaining reaction, and brightening my day!
Cool, I really enjoyed the way they did it. However, I woulda loved to hear Cygnus, that was a tease! You have to do a live version of that next, David.
I love Cygnus X-1, one of my top 5 Rush songs.
@@THEDavidHeretic Me too!
One of my favorite songs by them besides "Spirit Of Radio" huge Rush fan.
Another fair honest reaction. Still a great score! I like what you said about Neil being hands down top 5. He's everyone's favorite drummer's favorite drummer! I saw that tour amongst many others and obviously that song was a staple in the set. Had to be. But like you said, you can only play a song so many times. Not many can do what they do as a 3 pc band at even 4 or 5 members. I do know a great current up and coming trio though(wink wink).
Good interaction? It is great interaction, it is top of the line interaction. It is best friends, real friends playing together and enjoying every moment. It is real.
🎸🥁🎸
🐐🐐🐐
Saint Hubbins is the patron saint of quality footwear.
I was there. Floor on Geddy's side. Rush is and will always be the greatest.
lol..haha.. I dare them.. great reaction.. 👍
I bet you never heard it... as reggae.. 🤣 love your reaction. and your warning.. too funny.🤣🤣👍
The Holy Trinity!
I'm learning both guitar solos, no sheet music or tabs available so it's taking me ages. 😔
Working Man is from RUSH's first album, Neil Peart wasn't the Drummer Yet, playing the drums was John Rutsey, who was Fired before their first North American Tour because he had Type 1 Diabetes and he wasn't taking care of himself and the Tour Manager said if John comes on tour we're bringing him home in a coffin, so John wasn't fired because be was a bad drummer he got fired because of Health Reasons.
So, DH, I do get your frustration 🙃
I know you didn't grade the song, it is however my favorite version of the song. I liked the reggae twist in the beginning and Alex's crazy solo on the pickups...What!?...and I loved the stage setups and playfulness of their concerts in the last decade and a half of their career. You do realize these guys were in their late 50's, right? 🤣 Thanks for an enjoyable review 🤘👍
70's Rush was my favorite era and I never got into Geddy's vocals after the 70's/ Early 80's. I totally understand that as he got older, it was impossible to sing the way he did when he was younger but the way he's compensating here just sounds really odd to my ears.
I agree but the pedigree and musicianship is top notch, so I take it for what it is. There are very few bands who still bring a young, vital energy at their age.
You've never heard Rush do reggae music? I beg to differ sir. If you've heard "Spirit of Radio" what would you call the breakdown in that tune? Fun fact : When Rush recorded that song The Police were doing what they do and the guys were fans. That's why they threw the reggae into the track. A callout to their favorite band at the time.
Ahhhh very true.....yeah yeah. I didn't think about that because it's such a quick transition, they only do it for a grand total of like 15 seconds.
@@THEDavidHeretic Yeah, I know. I was just giving you a little grief. But it's there! Cheers!
Wait! You're not grading this on the song itself? Only on the performance? Why didn't you say something beforehand!?
;)
Hello Cleveland... obviously a reference to The Rocker. Great movie!
Close...it was Spinal Tap....when they got lost under the stage and Derek was shouting "Hello Cleveland!!" trying to get all fired up because they thought they found their way out and ended up right back at the same spot again.
David I saw that on the sound of silence
now i'm just being tempted to say 'you've heard it before' but I shall let my troll tendencies stay asleep, but how about sister awake or fire in the head by the tea party, like that segue? lol :)
Good
Not bad for 60 year olds, eh? :D Still far from my favorite song, or Rush-era for that matter.
this NOT NOT the song we fell in love with this is an improvised version not the original you ruined your virgin listen by not listening to the original WHICH VASTLY SUPERIOR!! always studio first the original is one of the best songs ever done NOT THIS NOT THIS YOU ARE FOOLING YOURSELF IF U THINK U KNOW what became part of peoples souls it IS NOT NOT NOT SOME LIVE THING NOT FROM THIS....SORRY NO ONE heard this they heard the ORIGINAL RECORDING MASTERPIECE you dont know how it differs and are being given BAD ADVICE
what i dont understand is, if youve never heard this song before, how did you recognize that instrumental change??
O.k....I can't tell if you're being funny or serious.....you DID watch the beginning where I clearly said I've heard this song before, right?
LOL
