RUSH - Between the Sun & Moon Live

Beyond The Lighted Stage

[@DRW1107]

This song is one of the reasons why Counterparts was one of their best. Rush moved into more of a raw guitar/ bass/ drum sound (less keyboard) with 11 great songs. This is one of their better tunes and it sounds like the entire audience was thrilled to hear it live after so many years!

[@Elduderino-lp7vf]

Favorite song off the album:)

[@tomwatson9032]

Even my kids got to know this song via my repeated listenings...

[@Matt-mo8sl]

Yup, the new guy that came in to produce Rush ORDERED them that they were going back to the basics and Geddy was to ditch the Wol bass and go to the Fender Jazz and they were gonna get away from the electric sound and they gonna get gritty. I'd say mission accomplished.

[@shanewilson199]

Agree, one of their best albums. No weak songs, lyrically powerful, great playing.

[@jamesweldon9726]

Kevin “Caveman” Shirley. Not only did he convince Geddy to dust off the Fender Jazz that had been hibernating since Moving Pictures (he would end up using that bass as his main for the rest of their studio albums and concert tours), he had Geddy using an old Ampeg turned up until it distorted, rather than direct input.
He told Alex not to use his reverb pedal in the studio “…because it sounds bloody awful.” They spent an evening sharing a bottle of whiskey, and had a friendly argument about it, and in the end Caveman prevailed.

I was in the 5th row at this show, will never, ever forget this song and that night. As emotional as a show that I have ever witnessed.
Raise a glass to THE High Priest of Rock Percussion and Prose.

[@matthewmcdaniel3853]

I missed the VT tour, biggest regret if my concert going life. I think this is their finest tour and setlist.

[@timebandit0123]

I seen Rush over 30 times in my life. I think Vapor Trails your was the most anticipated for me. It had been about 5 years since they had toured..
And you were very lucky to be at this show..

[@jamesweldon9726]

Doug, wasn’t this the first show of the Vapor Trails tour?

[@js6393]

I am not sure where this was but it looks like the first show back (I believe in CT), which I was fortunate enough to be at. For us fans, we know what that night represented. A triumphant return indeed. @@jamesweldon9726

[@jamesweldon9726]

I am glad they used this song to honor John Entwistle. The first time I heard it on Counterparts, my first thought was that it sounded like The Who. Especially the break.

[@tombombadillo1585]

Have you checked out 'FEEDBACK'❓
Rush covering another bands music; most excellent‼️

[@jamesweldon9726]

@@tombombadillo1585
Yeah, I have it. Great record!

[@ZIG4ZAG20]

They were pushing 50 at the time and playing like they had something to prove! I think they proved "IT"

[@pryt86]

Yea they were pushing 50 and playing like some bands do in their 20s and 30s. They truly are amazing.

[@Texturas75]

By 2002 they had proven it like ten times!

[@wayneh2837]

I bought Counterparts the day it was released listened to the whole album then went back and listened to this song at least 25 times. That was my one disappointment about the Counterparts tour was they didn't play this song "and nothing from the 1st 4 albums".
I was so thrilled when they put it into the Vapor Trails set list

[@brianshaffneraclc]

Alien Shore and CttC would've made great lives songs as well; I was bummed they never played either of those. I think by Counterparts, they had so much great material, that assembling set lists was becoming a matter of "which finger do we chop off?"

[@agentaxl6377]

One song I wish they would’ve brought back was double agent, I don’t believe it was revived after the tour

[@pavelow36]

One of the rare bands who sound better live... and their studio music sounds great to start with.

[@Texturas75]

They play excellent live, but I prefer the sound and nuances of the studio original, including the synth in the chorus.

[@felipeaoyama3274]

RUSH Hartford 2002 needs an official DVD

[@RogueReplicant]

Friggin' incredible, just incredible. Nobody compares to these guys.

[@williamfreeman739]

This is why they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

[@Lakerloon]

I wanted to show this video to my wife since she’s a big Who fan and I wanted her to see the dedication to John Entwistle. Before showing it to her I actually looked up the date of his death and the date of the VP Hartford show. I didn’t realize that Entwistle had died the day before this show.

[@jamesweldon9726]

Lakerloon it was also their first show after the long hiatus. For any number of reasons, it might not have happened at all. But it did.

[@drschultzdcc]

I love this tribute to Thunder Fingers, Big Johnny Twinkle, The Ox, John Entwistle, The Greatest Bass Player to ever walk the face of the Earth, acknowledged by Geddy Lee, arguably the second best bass player to every grace the planet. This is my 13 year old daughter's favorite Rush song. I consider my job as a Father complete and successful. Well done daughter, and well done Rush, you are both my favorites in the world!

[@FredHerrman]

That was nice of them to dedicate a song to John Entwistle.

[@petuniawigglebottom3392]

My favourite song by my favourite band by my favourite male vocalist who has a nose to die for. How can anybody NOT like this?

[@HellFury420]

RIP Entwistle. One of their most underrated songs and certainly one of my faves.

[@naturalthomas9157]

I was so fortunate to hear this live on this tour. (Cried with joy.) I’ve seen Rush live 💯➕✖️🙏). As I drive to see the total eclipse on April 8, 2024, this is on the top of my playlist. [Miss you, Professor Neil Peart!]

[@KenDyerJr]

AWESOME!! Rush - the greatest band of all time!!

[@gelchgolf]

That's just some badass rock n roll!

[@lkeckles5288]

This song has been a favorite for almost 40 years. I have on vinyl... on CD... yet it cannot be found elsewhere... no Prime... no Spotify... thank goodness for TH-cam!!

[@AJAM69]

There is a lake between the sun and moon, not too many know about...

[@josegnaspinijunior4581]

Counterparts, fantastic álbum

[@martinclarke250]

Absolutely phenomenal!!

[@jeyfromnowhere]

Great track from a brilliant album. Would love for them to break out Cut to the Chase for the next tour.

[@Elduderino-lp7vf]

Cut to the Chase would be AWESOME!!!

[@KBRATM895]

I think grunge era encouraged Rush to pay hard and raw compositions a re-visit, which is cool

[@sickerman88]

I was there, left stage side, amazing show

[@jjameson3035]

Nice to hear other Rush material. We get a lot of talk and same old, same old with what music is played on Seattle rock or classic rock stations.
Thank God for Sirius XM and TH-cam.

[@Ram44]

I was at this show - first one after Neil returned. This was the first time this song was ever played live and a highlight of the show for me since they only did 4 measly songs from Vapor Trails each night on that tour. Speaking of which - 4 out of 13 was lame. I really wanted to hear a lot of that material like Peaceable Kingdom, Freeze and Vapor Trail. Oh well.

[@Lakerloon]

why the sun? how 'bout why only 4,100 views?!?! being a RUSH fan makes me feel unique and special.

[@roman14032]

this song is about the union of subject and object
which is a pretty weird thing for a rock and roll song to be about
but THAT is why they are the holy triumvirate.

[@mong82191]

@ilbacato This is from the Meadows Music Center in Hartford, CT on June 28, 2002. First show of the Vapor Trails tour. I was somewhere in that mass of humanity that night

[@EMBOBZ2112]

This is just too amazing, oh my god!

[@tombombadillo1585]

I was looking for the name of one of 'The Little River Bands' vocalists. I discovered that LRB had over 30 personel changes throughout their carrer!
That's not only a band; it's also a corporation‼️
RUSH had ONE personel change in over 40 years‼️
That is chemistry‼️

[@robsierra516]

Best song ever! Chocolate Cake! totally!

[@zidan89]

what a song! kickass!

[@cristiantejoa]

I was at this show. Absolutely amazing! Neil was back.

[@johnhickman106]

One of my favorites off Counterparts.

[@GuitarRush2010]

They should play Cut to The Chase on next tour because this song have the best solo ever made!

[@DSCRAPRE]

They need to play this song more. Wish they would've played this instead of "Stick it Out" on the Time machine Tour.

[@Texturas75]

Oh yes. This one or Nobody's Hero are much better songs.

[@shavepate]

thx for that... !!

Splendid! ♥♥

My fav Rush song

[@glennorange]

This was my favorite song from Counterparts!

[@MRVEGAS711]

GREAT song

[@MickAv8r]

Nope that is definitely NOT the Snakes tour but the Vapor Trails tour. For one, this song wasn't even played on that tour. Two, thats not the S&A drumkit, but the red DW kit Neil used on the T4E and VT tours. Lerxst is rocking a goatee and Dirk has short hair. Finally this known footage from the Beyond the Lighted Stage Extras from the Hartford show.

[@chucklang1355]

Kinda dig the goatee

[@williamfreeman739]

Awesome track

[@defurr]

The opening shot of the audience looks for all the world like a venue in Dallas now called Gexa Pavillion (previously Starplex, SuperPages, Smirnoff, etc.): covered area with massive columns, behind which is a massive walled-in lawn for general admission.

[@ericchavarria4436]

+Darren Furr Looks like that, but its actually in Hartford Connecticut. This video is from the first opening night of the Vapor Trails Tour. Very emotional night for everyone in attendance, as it was the first show since Neil's tragedy.

[@kerryheafner8955]

They played this in Cincinnati on this tour. I remember being surprised because I had not read any spoilers about set list. Very pleasantly surprised at this one.

Sounds like ppl knew the song enough to sing along if i heard right. Strange they never played it live til then

[@kattastrofe]

@DSCRAPRE they should've played both! and "Animate" too!

[@durge12]

Judging from neil's bass drum, this was from the vapor trails tour right? So is this the version that's tacked onto the end of the Rush in Rio CD #3 next to Vital Signs? Cool to see the footage

[@TheRedSetterr]

this is the very first show of the VP tour while the one on RIR is near the end.

[@Brokenface]

You can also guess it because Entwistle died in 2002

[@Texturas75]

@@TheRedSetterr So they really played this song in Rio? I thought it was a rare bonus from another show.

This is a bonus feature on the Beyond The Lighted Stage DVD. There’s a full audio recording of this concert on TH-cam. We don’t have the full footage but we have 5 additional minutes of footage, I posted a version I synced with better audio on my channel. Currently I’m trying to acquire a video bootleg of this show.
