Funny... I thought he was thinking, "I think the keith moon cymbal configuration might have been a mistake... I think I need to lower them, and make room for some wind chimes"
May Neil rest in peace. Best drummer ever. These guys produced totally "outside of the box" tunes . I grew up with these guys in what was called Willowdale at that time and was a regular at Maple Leaf Gardens to see them play. Thanks for posting, this brings back lots of good memories.
Agree totally. If we weren't watching this to know better. We'd be thinking he's on a massive drum kit. That kit is about as basic as it gets. 2 rack Tom's, 2 floor Tom's and 3 cymbals. The man is truly the best.
Given that this is a music video for an album track, his setup here is stripped down in order for the viewer to be able to see him. If you listen carefully, you can hear him hitting cymbals on the record that aren't part of his setup in the video. He might be a genius on drums, but even he must obey the laws of physics. ;)
indeed...Geddy also reminded me of Billy Van's, 'Griselda' the witch on a kid's tv program that also starred Vincent Price called Hilarious House of Frightenstein. Yup, the '70s were way cool...
Epitaphforyesterday Do you think they will ever tour again? I would hope they would. At the end of R40, it seemed Neil might want a permanent break from that. Peace.
Neil is done, he was in constant pain the last few yrs. I cherish the times I saw them. They truly are legends of rock. What this 3 man did was epic. Long live Rush Music!
Kristine Kristine and Peter What the hell happened already! Early 90s things were exploding out of Seattle, lots of great bands and solo acts through that decade, then poof- -nothing since 2000 aside from Foo Fighters People say there’s good music out there but you shouldn’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to find it There’s such a vacuum that people freaked out over those Greta wutsername douchebags, as if imitating Zeppelin poorly is some kind of accomplishment
Check out YYNOT - both their Rush covers, but more their EXCELLENT two original Cd's full of absolutely engaging tunes, you'll play them both over and over again, check them out!
Know your place in life is where you want to be Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me Keep on looking forward, no use in looking 'round Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind We marvel after those who sought New wonders in the world, wonders in the world, Wonders in the world they wrought Live for yourself, there's no one else More worth living for Begging hands and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind We marvel after those who sought New wonders in the world, wonders in the world, Wonders in the world they wrought Though I know they've always Told you selfishness is wrong Yet it was for me not you I came to write this song Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind We marvel after those who sought New wonders in the world, wonders in the world, Wonders in the world they wrought
And the English press referred to them as a "fascist" band because of lyrics like this. They didn't get it. The song "Freewill" is more or less Anthem Part ll.
So much talent in one band, arguably the best at each of their instruments. True musicians with real talent and great songs. These three men together until the end, they respected and loved one another, well done fellas.
The fans knew. Even back as early as the first album. We knew how gifted and talented these 3 gents are. Thank you for shaping my childhood with your amazing musicianship.
I absolutely didn’t show Neil disrespect....merely correcting your assumptions. There was zero possibility that the fans admired these three gents on the first album when these three gents didn’t all play on it.
@@timwebber8630 But then you slap the first drummer (John Rutsey) of his due recognition. True though, Neil Peart was incredible and extremely talented - they ALL were. (Saw them many, many times in concert - loved every one.)
I remember being 17 in 1975 and listening to their debut album. I tried over and over to match Geddy’s vocals. Just impossible, I finally just decided to listen instead and enjoy! Truly epic band, gave us so much!
My dad is a drummer. Even was a drum teacher. I tried to get my dad to like Rush. I showed him a Neil Peart solo. My dad said, ‘He’s pretty good but he’s no Buddy Rich’. I’d like to think Mr Peart would love that.
This was the first song of the first album (flight by night) that I ever heard rush (back in early 90's) and this song is still just a great sounding intro song, rush usually opened their concerts with this song. If you want to introduce someone to rush, anthem is a great choice. Love rush 4ever!
Some dude I worked construction with for a summer job, told me about Rush in about '78. I ran out with my hard earned money and bought the 8 track tape of Fly By Night and pretty sure Anthem was the first song. I was hooked! Still one of my favorites.
thanjk y'all for Rush, the Kids in the Hall, Trailer Park Boys, Due South, John Candy, Bret Hitman Hart....lots of cool people, shows and bands from our neighbor to the north. :)
Whew! I'm not the only one with a crooked drum head on my left bass drum at a show! Love these guys. Like really, they held my mind's hand growing up to this day!
Back in the day they used to play whole sides of albums on the radio. I didn't have the money to buy them when I was 12 so I recorded most of this on cassette tape, along with caress of steel, and Hemispheres. First album I bought on tape, Permanent waves.
7" reel to reel decks for me. CFNY was the best station for playing full sides. Weekends started with draft beer at Charlie C's on Fridays with school mates, Saturdays we'd dress up better and take our girls/dates out for dancing and drinks; then after the clubs closed, an all night diner for hours of coffee and short order food. Geddy Lee would maybe remember some of those places. I'd get bored and tune out the conversation and slip out of the diner to go home in time for David Marsden on CFNY. Set up a reel and record off FM until about 4 or 5 a.m. Catch some Z's, go to church with my parents, come home and play Black Sabbath albums while mom made lunch, LOL, and so on. I'm possibly mixing up some of the years involved, but life was good.
Amazing how ‘locked in’ they are. There are few rock bands can display this level of ‘tightness’. Always loved this track too (the whole album in fact).
The greatest band to ever play . I have seen them over 10 times and they have always left me wanting more so amazing and talented. We need them to come out of retirement.🤘🏻✌🏻
Nah they left there talent and prowess at roll the bones. I was a Rush mentalist from 79 I loved them but counter parts onwards was just Awful. I've seen the five times but what is past is past.
I disagree. pre Moving Pictures was the best. after that album I stopped listening to them. Geddy did finally find a look that worked for him later in life, yes.
As a Young Man when listening to music usually the lead guitar and drums stood out Until I started listening to Geddy Lee and Rush that changed everything now I have much respect for the bass players as well
Ever heard of Primus? Their bassist and frontman is phenomenal. If I recall correctly, he performed with Geddy at Rush's hall induction. They jammed 'The Spirit of Radio'. Les Claypool is his name.
@@ccrockett00 Primus is a fair bit later than Rush. And before either of them anyway, Grand Funk Railroad's Mel Schacher on bass was always getting out front. That's what I liked about Mountain. Felix Pappalardi gave as good as he got, if anyone hasn't heard Dreams of Milk and Honey when they get into it on the Flowers of Evil Dream Sequence.
Tonight is a night for coincidence for me. Just after this song finished, the radio played... You guessed it. Limelight. And just as I was reading this post, Geddy sang "fish eye lens". I'm getting spooked out.
John Doe It's not just him I as a 17 year old Canadian collect Cassette tapes, Reel to Reel and 8 Tracks mostly like prog rock nothing compares to the ethereal cassette for some reason may it be the warm analog sound or flux of a spool of tape lodged in the tape mechanism there's nothing as timeless as a cassette tape especially listening in instances to Rush, Gentle Giant or The Tragically Hip where there albums I my opinion sound much better on tape.
TwinMillMC mp3 or AAC just doesn’t deliver audio in the way a record or tape (not that tape is all that great) does. I quit buying my music from iTunes and started redoing my collection as ALAC files. BIG difference
I completely wore out a Rush Caress Of Steel cassette tape back in the early 80's. Actually I should say I wore it _in._ The more you play a tape, yes you start to lose high frequencies and tape hiss becomes more audible, but there is more that happens on a molecular level, in that you are physically moving the particles around a little every time the tape, and it's magnetized particles cross the physical tape head...long story short, quite often the pleasing analog sound you are hearing from audio tape is the result of many plays! In the case of my especially warm sounding Caress Of Steel tape, the title was appropriate because audio tape is made of oxidized steel particles.
I saw Rush twice in concert, the first time i was waiting to see thier band and backup singers. When the curtains parted it was just the three of them, the sound was so full i couldn't believe there was just the three of them. Greatest band ever! RIP Mr. Peart.
Niels looking at his kit thinking, “geez, I gotta get like two more of these, a mallet kat, a set of chimes, and about a dozen more cymbals, maybe a gong, a whole lot more than this, though...”
Geddy rocking his "Rick"....Neil playing on his warm up set....Alex looking like he's going to be late to a High School class and they still KICK ASS. Man could Geddy "rooooooooooaaaaaaarrrr" back in the day. He can't hit notes like that anymore. What a powerful 3 octave voice he had back in the day. One of, if not the best band of all time.
just had to listen to this, now these are some 70's kids here, I would have been a freshman in high school when this came out, the "look" back then. Kind of fun to shuttle back in time a little and revisit.
I grew up listening to Rush, so many memories. Thanks guys.
I don't usually listen to Rush, but when I do.. so does my neighborhood.

Couldn't finish watching...tears just started flowing halfway through for some reason...
Neil Peart’s drum kit definitely grew exponentially over the years. So sad we’ll never get to see them perform together again
It was his first Rush album with Rush. It was bound to grow because BEST drummer ever of any genre anywhere ever. Period.
As the New Zealand drummer said, "he has 4 drum kits up there!"
@@gregemerson7648 ...and uses them all to great advantage!!
1975 the (BEST) year for Rock music period.

I was 14.
And I played this album so much, the needle cut right through and played Side-B backwards!
They were fantastic band nobody ever will be again like Rush.
Sad no one has commented recently yet. Rip Neal Peart😢

Yea. Unfortunately God asked for drum lessons.
Thank you ~RUSH~ for giving me the greatest memories throughout the 70' and 80's when music was REAL !!
So , Neil doesn't need a 10,000 pc. kit to sound like he's playing a 10,000 pc. kit .

He actually did it several times throughout the song, LOL. The professor
This tune absolutely rocks ! RIP Neal Peart
Dude never looks at his bass once while he's ripping off insane licks and singing.
The better trick is when he plays the pedal board keyboards with feet while playing bass and singing.

Doesn't have to... this is a lip sync.
1:17 too hes quick but hes checking for sure
No different then blind people playing. Practice in a dark room now and then. After years of playing you dont need to look. It becomes second nature.

"In 1978 I was 14, heard Anthem for the first time. Great then, great still."
Damn the original geddy can scream!
Intheevening 123 yeah too bad he got replaced by imposter clone Geddy.
As opposed to the imposter we've grown to love for the last what, 40 years?
@@1leech just like Paul. And Neil is actually Tom Hanks.
Yup... I miss the 'screaming'... ☹
Yeah, the new Geddy remake can't scream for shit. Hopefully they remaster the original, or make a Geddy 2.
Neil Peart+Drums=BEAST!
We'll never see these times or their like ever again. Glad I was there for it all, epic.
And people raved about led zep...????? Rush far better band.
@@studio-flash They are two completely different styles. Different not better.
I saw Rush twice in concert, the first time i was waiting to see thier band and backup singers. When the curtains parted it was just the three of them, the sound was so full i couldn't believe there was just the three of them. Greatest band ever! RIP Mr. Peart.
Neil must be playing his Rush audition or starter kit here! 😲 And he’s killing it on drums right off the bat!
rivotrich7 That’s what I heard (and read). This was THE song that he nailed in the audition!
RIP PEART. Thanks for all of your contributions to creating great music.
Bands back then played with real conviction.
Niels looking at his kit thinking, “geez, I gotta get like two more of these, a mallet kat, a set of chimes, and about a dozen more cymbals, maybe a gong, a whole lot more than this, though...”
Alex is so underrated
Arguably the 'lesser musician' of Rush, which, as anyone knows, is light-years beyond most other people.
He has been a massive influence on so many guitarists. He is not underrated.
Not in my book!
Not really.
Good rythmn player never a great lead player..
I remember when that album was new!!!
yes....that lead guitar....great
Geddy rocking his "Rick"....Neil playing on his warm up set....Alex looking like he's going to be late to a High School class and they still KICK ASS. Man could Geddy "rooooooooooaaaaaaarrrr" back in the day. He can't hit notes like that anymore. What a powerful 3 octave voice he had back in the day. One of, if not the best band of all time.
What happens if you bring together the worlds best guitarist, vocalist-bassist and percussionist ........
RUSH
just had to listen to this, now these are some 70's kids here, I would have been a freshman in high school when this came out, the "look" back then. Kind of fun to shuttle back in time a little and revisit.
Nothing tops Rush's 1st & 2nd Albums.
