3 of the absolute best rock musicians in the world
RusH was composed of 3 compulsive perfectionist, and genuine good people that do not have any ego trips that have lead to the demise of many successful bands.
Truly GREAT musicians that are also truly great friends.... Resulting in some of the cleanest, tightest most amazing music ever made.
I 2nd that !!
Couldn't agree more!! 🤘
Killer track gents. This show is several decades after it was originally recorded and when I saw them perform it live. Studio version should also be reacted to.
I agree 100%.
Bump
We will get to it. This was a special request
@@AirplayBeats - all in good time.
Yes, studio version is incredible
ALL Rush songs were made to be performed live, even if they were extremely challenging to perform. This was because Rush so valued and respected their audience that they refused to make music in the studio that their fans would not be able to hear when they toured.
My favorite two bands for pulling off intricate songs perfectly have always been Rush and Radiohead both band play everything live.
This is an example of why I saw Rush 18 times.
Rush are the GOATs. No comparisons
That’s my Canadian boys! the most technically gifted three musicians to ever take the stage together!
Peace

RUSH had the worlds best sight and sound people in the game. Many of them had been with the band for decades.
True! They made the horrible echoing San Diego Sports Arena sound great!
Three most technically proficient musicians in rock history.
The studio version is the main one you want to listen to
One of my very favourite Rush songs and they wrote it in two days! 🤯
Three geniuses in one band.
Cheers

Thanks, guys. Best band ever. Hopefully lots more Rush to come
I am 61, and in 1980 I was only 17 So VERY SADLY :( :( Only got the HONOR of seeing them 1nce. BUT, it was THE Best Fn Show of My Life!!! \m/ Peace, Love & Music from SC Tx. 🤠
Was a huge Yes, LedZepplin, Uriah Heep and Genesis fan….prog rock, but life kicked in, I got married, had kids etc…and damn, just missed Rush! Never saw 😢….my bad.These 3 guys make alot of music! Better late than never I guess….
Great reaction y’all! Neil actually used to play with matched grip until right before this album Test for Echo! He decided in the mid 90’s, he wasn’t feeling loose enough. So after 20 yrs of being one of the best drummers in the world, he thought he could do better and started studying with the jazz drummer Freddie Gruber! After about a year he totally reinvented his style and played traditional from then on! RESPECT!! Be well and God bless… from Texas!!
Also he took lessons with Jazz great Peter Erskine around the same time
The drummer is a bad boy...indeed
I was at this very concert! It was mind blowing. I haven't been to another concert since. After experiencing this, everything else falls short
One of my all time fav Rush tunes, especially live. One of their true Prog gems.
This is the song that turned me on to the band. This isn’t multiple songs, this is all the same one and it always amazed me. Thanks. Great reaction.
Excellent Guys
Rush puts on one of the greatest shows on Earth
Studio version of this awesome song is much, much better. I attended 6 Rush shows in 3 states over a 2 decade span, certain songs of theirs don't translate as well to a live show, this is one of them.
That's what I'm saying.... Why not hear the very best version for a first listen.
I’m glad that you mentioned Soundman I think that’s what we’re missing most in today’s music is great engineers to go with great musicians
Always a masterpiece with this trio, what a pleasure seeing them live must have been, more please. Three cheers to you two thanks
It was! I was fortunate to see them 5 times from Permanent Waves tour to Snakes and Arrows.....man the memories!
The BEST 3 man band for lots of years and sure miss them.😢😊
19 years really does change a voice. always listen to studio for reference with Rush.
Live Rush backing it up ... But the studio version is a real dreamscape with it turned up, curtains closed, a bowl or five... But Rush is the best band live in concert. Unfair to other bands perhaps, but Rush concerts up to Power Windows were something beyond words so amazing.
Some of the best musicians at each of their crafts
With Rush...even songs that are not my favorite, are *still* a masterclass in composition, production, polyrhythm, creativity, taking risks and chances, technical skills, erudite concepts, and professionalism. These guys are second to none...
Alex Lifeson playing a chorused electric guitar is as close as I get to heaven.
Ged, always, "loaded himself up."
He needed to in the near future (from the time that this album was recorded).
He wasn't playing keyboards NEARLY as much, here, so he didn't use the bass pedals often [He doesn't on "Natural Science"!] ...but throughout the '80s & '90s, he played Taurus bass pedals while he was playing keyboard, with his hands AND (of course!) singing.
Rush were a band who, unlike MANY others: THOUGHT about HOW they would play things, live, while they were conceiving them & recording them, in the studio,.
Obviously, they could layer, double, etc., while recording ...BUT; when you bring that to a live audience??? How are you going to make it sound "the same" (or, at least "acceptably similar?"!).
RUSH always thought about that and wrote and arranged their parts so that: they COULD do that; AS a trio!; WITHOUT additional instrumentalists (which, as you know, was and is a common thing, for bands who have multiple, layered parts or sounds, etc.!) added/needed.
This is another reason that they were so lauded (sometimes: OVERmuch!!) and respected by their fans: they didn't "cheat" anyone. They gave you more than you were expecting and never brought attention to it.
It wasn't like: "-Yo! ...Check-out what I'm doing here!!!!"
No.
It was: "Does this sound right, to you?
Good.
-....Moving forward. ....
...let's dig this together, peeps...
You vibin' with me??... All right!...."
---Of course, "Natural Science" was, more of, the "fans who want 'Hemispheres, II' will want this" track song
...while they [the band] were, already, breaking into an area they had no, real, brook with, earlier: radio friendly material.
-Which started, definitely, with THIS album and with: "The Spirit Of Radio" !
--expanding VOLUMINOUSLY, with the follow-up: Moving Pictures and "Limelight" and "Tom Sawyer" ...and, then the SIGNALS album, on the back of that ("Subdivisions", "New World Man" ...maybe: "The Analog Kid" - etc.!).
😁 That would be me! 🐰
With Rush always expect the unexpected
Apparently, Neil Peart would switch his left hand grasp between a traditional hold on the stick, left palm up, right palm down, and the other being both palms down. That takes skill.
R.I.P. Neil
Hell yeah! It’s so much better live!!!
Gotta love Alex Lifeson's bowl cut.
Neil did play traditional when he was young he switched back and fourth between traditional and Match grip his childhood drum teacher taught him Traditional , in mid life he took more lessons with Jazz great Peter Erkine And master teacher Freddy Grubber , even though he was considered a accomplished drummer he never stopped learning
Hey guys, I most definitely recommend Jacob's Ladder by Rush , it will also blow your minds, guaranteed.
Rush at their best ..... my top 2 songs Cygnus & NS . The more prog RUSH went, the more they stole my heart & mind ..... then seeing them live ..... my soul. I will miss them having seen them so many times since 1978. Neil's death still hasn't sunk in. Don't think it ever will. He breathes through the music & occupies me with his beauty as a person even though I never met him. Thank you fellas for bringing this classic back once again.
It’s 3 guys really good at what they do!
I wish you guys could’ve seen them in concert, amazing stuff.
Neil occasionally used traditional grip throughout his career with Rush. You can see it on the 1981 Exit..Stage Left video of Xanadu, among others.
In most cases Rush's live performance is nearly identical to the studio version.
Thank You guys for getting back to Rush. Throughout the years they touched on many genres. Rock, Metal, Prog, Ska, New Wave, Pop and grunge, and somehow stayed popular through all their changes.
I will be curious to see what you think of their synth era tunes. Subdivisons is a great one from that era.
Neil is almost always all business when he's behind his kit. These guys were my first concert in '81 at age 13. Doobies just getting passed down the row and another one comes right back. Damn, I was high!! 🤘🏻Long Live Neil Peart🤘🏻❤
The rare glimpses of Neil smiling or joking around are great!
@@richardkafka5625 You should watch Beyond The Lighted Stage...!
Rush on brothers!
That's the thing about rock and roll...checking it out live...especially in small venues...is what it's all about! You can feel the music.
Great reaction. You show sincere honesty
They hadn't played that song in quite a while and then pulled it out of the archives about this time. Afterward, it popped up quite a bit. Alex said it was one of his favorite ones to play live. It was always a fan favorite!
Thank you guys for being so versatile in your reactions and your knowledge in musicianship makes it a more fun watching you.
the lyrics in this song is one of neil’s best IMO.
My favorite rush song. Really wish you had done the studio version though.
We will do the studio version. This was a special request.
@@AirplayBeats we all appreciate when you do a comparison! For me, specifically with Rush - the analysis of the studio and live is essential in understanding just how good these guys were live! Unparalleled IMHO.
@@AirplayBeatsthe lyrics are incredible. Another reason Rush is Top Tier.
@@AirplayBeats Glad to hear that...! It's so clean...!
This version adds an extra stanza? (I don't know what it's called) at 2:28 that's not on the studio version. I think the song itself benefits from the repeat and makes it my preference over the OG version.
You will never convince me otherwise. Rush is and will always be the greatest band ever. 3 dudes to create such music! Just this song alone is proof of that. Sorry all other bands, you must compete for second place.
I agree. My fav since 1980. The sheer number of great tunes tops all others
Neil went back to traditional grip after someone coached him about it.
(I forget who it was, another legendary drummer)
Freddy Gruber. Who coached Steve Smith and led Neil to him.
@@scottshields113 Thank you...!
Gotta say with Rush, not only do you get an amazing musical experience, but if you follow along, you get some of the best lyrics a musician has ever written.
In light of the movie in theaters, I need to recommend "Manhattan Project". For that one especially, have the lyrics ready! :)
Was fortunate to see them live 5 times and they never disappointed. 😎
I was there that night. Miss them so much.
Neil had only recently at this point changed his attack on the drums. Learning traditional grip from jazz percussionist Freddie Gruber. So good eye on you guys noticing. GREAT reaction!!!!
Great.Test For Echo from the same show.Insanely good live...
Crazy that at one point their label was going to drop them before 2112. LEGENDS!!!
AND... they did the EXACT opposite of what the label wanted....LOL
He's a bad, bad man.
Back beating the back beat.
Three white boys from Canada-jamming like they are in Jimi Hendrix, Metallica AND Pink Floyd ALL in one song.😳👍🤘🖖✌️🥁🎸🎹🎤
My understanding of Neil Peart's technique is limited, to say the least, but if memory serves, he played matched grip until he did a tribute for Buddy Rich called "Burning for Buddy." Since Buddy Rich played traditional grip, he felt inspired to learn it as well.
Thanks for the Rush reaction! I was fortunate enough to see their final performance at the Los Angeles Forum (now Kia Forum). An awesome band live. Thanks for appreciating their style of music❤
I love the title of this song. There has been an ongoing divisive argument between Science and Nature, and even Creation vs Evolution. It's all so silly. IT'S ALL THE SAME THING! It is Nature and natural. The arguments will continue, and that's natural and science. Humans are silly creatures sometimes. We must laugh at ourselves.
My first concert 1976BC (Before Corona)Halifax, Nova Scotia, iconic north of the 49,peace
This show is RUSH in da Prime !! 😎 Rock on !! 🎸 A must do would be "working man " live in cleveland
Great reaction!! This is one of my all-time favorite songs, by Rush. Do yourselves a favor and listen to the studio version. While these three musical Gods, are the best live performers, listen to the production of the studio version and revel in their innovation. See what you think.
Neil, only, started using trad. grip (and, really: "split-grip" or "mixed-grip" -I forget what it's called, most commonly🤷-apologies-), sometimes; later in his career.
He began to study jazz in the early '90s for the first time and "learned to swing" (which, yes: he NEVER did in the '70s or '80s!). It didn't really suit his style! ...BUT it gave him a new perspective on playing and approach!
...so, yes: he would alternate ...and I don't know what specific periods he preferred or employed "mixed-grip" (or whatever you call that🤷🤷: one underhand, one overhand). [I am not that devoted a "Neil-head" that I know, "to the day,"🙄🤦 what he was doing or thinking (and there, definitely, ARE guys like that out there!!)].
...but it was not something (as you, yourself, noticed-and mentioned) that he did for a long period of his career. It was a later development.
He switches his grip, often. You can see it in the drum solo.
Another awesome pick.💞
Geddy said that this was one of his favorite songs to play live. "It’s one of those songs that has improved with time. On record, parts of it seem a bit stilted to me. But now, when we play it live that allows us to give that song its full power."
Well, if he said so okay, not to my ears though. I guess the dropped second guitar solo is part of what he refers to as stilted and I strongly disagree.
Try "La Villa Strangiato", the live version from 1978 for a TV show, I believe it is also considered an "official video".
More Great stuff to come from this album...!
I liked watching this. Appreciate the commentary. I have been listening to rush since 1980 and I'm still blown away more now than ever. Ive never seen this live version until your video. thank you.
After 20 years of playing drums Neil start Ed to take lessons again thus the change up of his grip. Humble God
Happy 70th birthday Geddy Lee👍
Here Here, Toast to the Great Garry Weinrib!!!
What an awesome treat for my Friday afternoon! Great reaction guys.
This brings back memories, amazing, but hazy ones - there was numerous 'clouds' around us that night! I was at this very show in Toronto, in fact, this was my first Rush show!! (and not to be the last)
I distinctly remember when this song was played - talk about blown away! Indeed, the sound these 3 make (with no backing tracks, extra touring musicians, etc.) - everything you hear is played LIVE! Multitasking at it's absolute finest - and insanely tight. The transitions, doesn't matter what song, is seamless & spot on.
This same concert was the first time they played 2112 in entirety - to end the first half of the show (there was no opener, it was 3 hours of Rush!) - atmosphere was perfect. Hot summer night, breeze off Lake Ontario, sweet smells in the air, and 3 hometown boys rocking our socks off!
This was a special night! Cheers.
Have a wonderful weekend my friend!!
@@AirplayBeats you guys as well! Keep on rockin' & reactin'. Cheers.
To truly understand Rush you need start from the beginning like you did with Zeppelin
There's two gems from the Caress of Steel album you have missed: The Necromancer and The Fountain of Lamneth. They are both 13 + minute epics with great stories. Enjoy.
They wouldn't like those tracks, IMO. It's a little too dark. Those are not good first listen tracks. It takes a few listens to get it.
@@georgetaxi8179 🤔 Agree! 😏 I'm going for Neil Peart Drum solo live in Frankfurt. Think they'll love that!
@@georgetaxi8179 If you never have a first listen then you never have a listen. It would be a shame to bypass two of their early classics. No darker than 2112.
First 🤗 AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! NATURAL SCIENCE! Second 😘 Thank you so much for this reaction! 🤪 Lets Go! 😁🥰🐰
😂 My diabolical plan worked! 🤗 I was hoping you noticed Neil's 🥁 hand grip.... 😁 Which means everyone will be requesting 'Neil Peart Drum Solo Live in Frankfurt'! 😊 We literally got a Drum solo during every 3+hr show they did! 🥰🐰
You should do the studio version... It's so clean and crisp...!
Tight tight tight song
I was there. I saw it all!
Amazing live take 🔥
I loves this !
I can hear Alex !
He often gets lost
You can talk to Alex at bowl cuts R us. Lol. Thankyou for your reaction guys, really great, careful, you will be Rush fans shortly like the rest of us.
❤❤❤❤
Please do Rush "Digital Man" live, you two will love it!
Only RUSH can write a song about natural selection and evolution and make it sound cool.
Rush is my favorite band, handed down from my dad. Being in the younger generation, in the least racist way possible, I love seeing two black guys enjoying what I always thought was some real white boys music 😂😂
Love this guys. Keep up the good work!!!!
That was a weird one but it's Rush.
AEROSMITH "Back in the saddle"
Love the transitions and changes in this song. Especially 6:30
Wide sound for three people.
Brilliant lyrics in this one if you go back and check it out. RUSH!!
"Sounds like six guys in the group." Yep.....couldn't be said better.
I think I like this better than the studio.
this band is a lot to take in. When you get a chance focus on the lyrics and that will make you an even bigger fan of Rush than you already are. Their content is unlike any other band of any genre… Except, of course, for Pink Floyd!
Back for a Rewatch during my break! Also saw y'all did 🥨🤔 Checking that next! 🥰🐰
So, I have an on-going disagreement with another reactor who says Neil doesn't swing. Neil, in 1991, was asked to play in a Buddy Rich tribute by Cathy Rich. Neil was disappointed with his performance and he decided to take lessons from Freddie Gruber (Jazz legend) in 1994....Peter started to teach Neil how to "dance" with the sticks and Neil began playing traditional grip (Left hand primarily).....then in 1997, Neil studied with Peter Erskine and the same year, Neil produced and performed in "Burning for Buddy." So, in that performance, Neil is notably stiff but his playing starts to swing so much better. Finally, in 2008 Neil played "Love for Sale" and a killer solo in another Buddy Rich tribute. IMO, he is killing it in these performances and "pushing the horns" as they say. If you get a chance watch these and give me your honest opinion, I'd truly love to know....Both videos are on DRUMMERWORLD by Bernhard Castiglioni 👍👍
I know he’s got some swing in him if he plays traditional.
@@AirplayBeats They call Neil the professor. He writes the lyrics and is a wizard on the skins! Thanks,! You guys are awesome! I have worn out your Van Halen Reactions 🔥🔥
@@danarchuleta1154 thanks for rocking with us. Send me a good Van Halen song to do next.
@@AirplayBeats OhhhYeah..For you fellas, I'm thinking Groove and hook. So, let's venture into the first album with Sammy Hagar, from "5150"..."The Best of Both Worlds." Also, the debut album went Diamond! ..and the two killers on that album that you haven't heard are "On Fire," and "I'm the One." Cheers friends TGIF!
@@danarchuleta1154 😂 I only do Diamond Dave! 🙄😒 I don't drive 55'. 🤗 I'm Hot for Teacher while Jamie's Crying or nothing at all! 🤩 I was so happy when he returned and I could go back to watching them at MSG! 😏 Also Diamond Dave was a regular at MTV New Years NYC Parties/Tapings! 😚 Fun times...... 😒that make me feel so old right now! 😂🤣😂😁🐰
If you guys liked this song check out entre nous and different strings. These three are among my absolute favorite RUSH songs.
Alex was deep in his bag during that solo sheesh
😎👍
