I've been going to Rush concerts since the mid-seventies and watching this gave me Goosebumps just hearing the crowd roar ! We will never see this kind of talent again in our lifetime !
Cleveland is a very special place for the band. It's where Rush was first played on US radio. Many listeners called in asking if it was a new Led Zeppelin release.
I never get tired of these performance! Three guys pushing 60 at the end of a 3 hour show. This song is from 1974 and they changed it up with doing the reggae intro. I would suggest listening to the studio version as well. Both are bangers! Geddy Lee the vocalist plays the bass. Alex Lifeson is the guitarist. Brilliant Performance!
@@SA-gs2ib I didn't mention Neil as he already knew his name. I was answering his question on who was playing which guitar. To me Neil was one of the greatest drummers of all time and so much more. He is sadly missed
Rush just proves over and over again just how great they are!!!! Geddy on his game , Neil one point and holding it down as the professor does,Alex goes wild ❤❤❤ 🤘☠️🤘🔉🔉🔉🔉🔉🔉🔉🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔉🔉🔉🔊🔊🔊🎤🥁🎸🎸💯✅ Working Man’s Band- Rush tumeless
Rush is probably the biggest name Band to ever come out of Canada, their hit list is damn near bottomless. I think most likey my favorite Rush Song is "Trees", it is totally a metaphor, as Geddy said in an interview, its about the USA over shadowing Canada and Canada wants respect and recognition.
I’m glad to have been alive in the same period of time as this group. My favorite group since I was introduced to them when I was around 11. 52 now. Thank you Rush.
this song comes full circle here. the were signed because of this song in cleveland and to finish the concert here in cleveland during the time machine tour effing yess
Cleveland is important to Rush and the song "Working Man" made it so - a song a working town understood and embraced... it was a Cleveland radio station which played the song once really late at night and people responded calling into the station asking about it, so it got more air-play. It literally gave Rush recognition and notoriety and a growing fan base, from then on they were able to keep making records.
Red Barchetta. An old friend of mine. we were "enemies" as he moved into neighborhood. childish bs. But then. In 6th grade English, we had to do a report on a Ballad. We all chose classics of what the public system told us was a ballad. UNTIL... Mike read his report on "Red Barchetta. " Everyone was blown away. Rush was one of my favorite bands at the time. Of course, we became friends. The power of Rush!
I give credit to this song for keeping me half sane for the godaweful 3 1/2 years in Hawaii. I'm NOT an 808 fan. A band that played at a nearby bar/nightclub would play this and nail it. Giving me a reason to live. When they saw me come in they knew they were going to be "workin' men"
How many Notes were played in that performance? Each note was real, had to be heard in their minds before their fingers could play the right notes.... Amazing.
RUSH LIVE……I was lucky enough to see one of the last shows before Neil died at SPAC N.Y. Simply the most talented three man band ever. Incredible performances every time. “In eight years I’ll be seventy one, I can play Charlie Watts drum parts when I’m seventy one, I can’t play Neil Peart’s drum parts when I’m seventy one” - Neil Peart at sixty three.
Perhaps not a surprise that Alex has suffered arthritis in his fingers, eh? ps - that little part at the end is from Cyrus X-1, Book I (which was the last track on Farewell to Kings (1976)). Both it and Book II (which was the first track on 1978's Hemispheres album) were beyond epic.
JMBOY - I saw your face light-up toward the end! That signals to me you MUST react to Cygnus X-1, Book 1....and then Book 2 to find out what happens to our 'hero'!
Glad you liked it! First concert I went to was Rush. 1981 in Dallas (Moving Pictures tour). My friend's brother stood in line all night to get tickets--we got 2nd row in front of Alex, and it cost $10. I was a 14 year old girl, and my friends were 15 (4 of us)-we thought we were cool because we all wore white tube tops. Lol. Pat Travers was in front of us in 1st row & some guy brought him a grocery bag full of weed. I saw them again in 2012 in Dallas, but unfortunately, not 2nd row (or Pat Travers!).
First song I EVER HEARD BY RUSH!!! Have been a RUSH fan, ever SINCE! OMG - SUCH A GREAT CATALOGUE!! Not a bad song by them, as far as I'm concerned!! It's AMAZING that ALL THAT SOUND can be put out by THREE DUDES! SO GOOD!!! LOVED your REACTION!!!
Please listen to the original album version; this reggae beginning is only meant to charm the audience and switch things up, but it doesn't represent the song as it was recorded. Part of the genius of Rush was to both fuck with certain audiences who didn't "get" them, and confuse haters while STILL delivering music that eclipsed their rivals.
Check out some of the videos from 1974 (with original drummer John Rutsey) and the B&W videos from 1976, you could tell Rush was destined to greater things in their career.
Geddy Lee.....Born Gary Lee Weinrib; July 29, 1953. His Polish mother's accent was so bad she called him "Geddy". In school his friends thought it was funny and started to call him that.... It Stuck dropping his last name.
Back in history, some rock musicians were capable of this level of performance. I understand that's it outside of your experience but it used to be the order of the day
If you get a chance, listen to the album version. They added the Reggae - Funk intro is some live performances just to have a bit of fun. This time they took it a long way into the song and had a few folks in the audience kinda worried they were really doing something with this tune! LOL Oh, and by the way, they were all in their 60's in this video.
HIGH JM.... It was 9 months ago I asked you watch Neil do a drum solo, (and Simon Philips from Toto) This is only the fifth video in their Playlist. You certainly can see they deserve many more added and there is a "TON"more great tunes from them.
Since you like Rush I would like you to check out the music on Jethro Tull (1968-,2023) They released an album/ year up to 1980 and no two albums are alike. Suggest that you listen to the first four albums, listen to Thick as a Brick which is one song that took up both sides of the album. I look forward to your reviews
I just subscribed to your channel not sure if you've done any Tom McDonald but you should and you should also definitely do more rush I'm going to check out your page see what you've done if you ain't done 2112..... You're missing out! I have to also mention Xanadu by Rush.
The reggae was not part of the original song. In the 70s, reggae became popular with Bob Marley and others. Many mainstream artists like Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney incorporated reggae into their own music.
"Working Man" Well, I get up at seven, yeah And I go to work at nine I got no time for livin' Yes, I'm workin' all the time It seems to me I could live my life A lot better than I think I am I guess that's why they call me They call me the workin' man They call me the workin' man I guess that's what I am 'Cause I get home at five o'clock And I take myself out an ice cold beer Always seem to be wonderin' Why there's nothin' goin' down here It seems to me I could live my life A lot better than I think I am I guess that's why they call me The workin' man Well, they call me the workin' man I guess that's what I am Well, they call me the workin' man I guess that's what I am Well, I get up at seven, yeah And I'll go to work at nine I got no time for livin' Yes, I'm workin' all the time It seems to me I could live my life A lot better than I think I am I guess that's why they call me They call me the workin' man Well, they call me the workin' man I guess that's what I am They call me the workin' man I guess that's what I am
ALWAYS DO THEORIGINAL FROM THE ALBUM IT -IN THIS CASE IS WHAT PUT RUSH ON THE MAP NOT NOT NOT SOME LIVE THING -IF YOU WANT THE AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE WE ALL HAD---------------THIS IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND SUCKS COMPARED TO THE FLAWLESS ALBUM WE ALL HEARD STUPID NOT TO LISTEN TO THE REAL SONG RECORDING MASTERPIECE YOU RUIN YOUR VIRGIN LISTEN I WILL NOT WATCH
Jeez, I'm the one who suggested it. I gave him the link and said he had to do the live version. My opinion is different though. I love the studio version, but that blows me away. Don't get mad at him for my suggestion...maybe you can become a patreon member and give him yours. There are some that I do prefer the studio version, but so many Rush songs are just as good if not better live in my opinion like with Exit Stage Left. Not just Rush either... if I suggested UFO, I'd say to do it from the Strangers in the Night album.
Rush is what happened when they took six extremely talented musicians and crammed them into three amazing men, nothing else comes close to Rush!
Post-o-my lifetime. Rush forever….
theres no getting past Rush, no denying the sheer level of talent.
This is one of the greatest live performances ever.🔥🤘🏻
I actually got chills listening to this version. Also love that it was filmed here in Ohio!!
I've been going to Rush concerts since the mid-seventies and watching this gave me Goosebumps just hearing the crowd roar ! We will never see this kind of talent again in our lifetime !
Cleveland is a very special place for the band. It's where Rush was first played on US radio. Many listeners called in asking if it was a new Led Zeppelin release.
I worked at WMMS at the time 👍

Geddy Lee the vocalist plays the bass.

@@SA-gs2ib No Worries 😀
Have a good one too!
Just a good old, full on jam session, by 3 of the most talented musicians to have ever lived...
This was the last song this band ever played.... I was there.... My 53rd Rush show.
I was at the Cleveland show, To see this live, was just incredible.
So true, Alex Lifeson is a monster on the guitar!!!
Been a fan since their first album,,, 3 absolute masters of their craft
Rip neil,, the world got a little smaller after you passed,,,
Rush just proves over and over again just how great they are!!!! Geddy on his game , Neil one point and holding it down as the professor does,Alex goes wild ❤❤❤ 🤘☠️🤘🔉🔉🔉🔉🔉🔉🔉🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔉🔉🔉🔊🔊🔊🎤🥁🎸🎸💯✅ Working Man’s Band- Rush tumeless
Rush was the real deal. I love them jamming like this. So much music and "sound" out of just 3 musicians. Amazing!
The best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be
I've had the pleasure to see this band live five times always an incredible show❤
❤rock on, God bless you for considering to react to Rush. They are truly an amazing band.
Rush is probably the biggest name Band to ever come out of Canada, their hit list is damn near bottomless. I think most likey my favorite Rush Song is "Trees", it is totally a metaphor, as Geddy said in an interview, its about the USA over shadowing Canada and Canada wants respect and recognition.
My first favorite RUSH JAM. They killed it here.
This is super cool. Reggae'd up the Working Man. That's our boys from Toronto. This is fun.
I agree bro, just no words to describe it.
They were amazing that's all you can say about it
I’m glad to have been alive in the same period of time as this group. My favorite group since I was introduced to them when I was around 11. 52 now. Thank you Rush.
One of the best live bands ever to perform , this e was three guys in their 50s ending a three hour show
Welcome to the rush family,the greatest trio ever ❤️ 😊
Speechless!!
this song comes full circle here. the were signed because of this song in cleveland and to finish the concert here in cleveland during the time machine tour effing yess
Saw them for Presto at Devenshire Downs and they were awesome. Like Alice's cat I was grinning ear to ear all night long.
I was at this show. So many many great songs they did.

Rush is one of my fav bands of all times !! ❤❤!! Check out the studio version!! It’s much faster paced !!
You know they were remembering what it was like to be kids jamming in their basement there.
Still making it fun after 40+ years!
Red Barchetta.
An old friend of mine.

Everyone was blown away.
Rush was one of my favorite bands at the time. Of course, we became friends.
The power of Rush!
The best band in a live show .
Masters at work.
More Rush Please!
Also…. By the time Geddy leaves the stage at the end, Neal has already boarded his bus and is out of the building!
Three old men walk into a bar and ask the band hey can we sit in for one song?
Faces melt heads explode. That's what I want to see
More Rush Please 😉😘🙏✌️
I got my first taste of Rush bach in the 70s and been a long time fan of theirs .
I give credit to this song for keeping me half sane for the godaweful 3 1/2 years in Hawaii.
I'm NOT an 808 fan.
A band that played at a nearby bar/nightclub would play this and nail it. Giving me a reason to live. When they saw me come in they knew they were going to be "workin' men"

Rush is dope ❤
🤔 I'm not sure you've done Rush YYZ, Live in Rio, but these 3 dudes 🤯 rock the house bro! 🥰🐰
Check out Xanadu live from Montreal.Enjoy the ride.
Great performance and reaction. Love your sincerity.
Only the best rock band in the world

Saratoga is such a great place to see a show.
I've seen many there Rush, Kansas, Yes, Boz Scaggs, Santana, Jeff Beck, and several others since 1985.@@laurakali6522
I was at that concert quicken loans Arena
I was there and it blew everyone away when they did it this way/
Perhaps not a surprise that Alex has suffered arthritis in his fingers, eh?
ps - that little part at the end is from Cyrus X-1, Book I (which was the last track on Farewell to Kings (1976)). Both it and Book II (which was the first track on 1978's Hemispheres album) were beyond epic.

The last song of the concert on the last tour stop ever and they played it that way! Glad I saw them on both Moving Picture tours.
Pretty good for 3 guys in their 60's after a 3 hour concert.

Can I just say I've not seen this particular performance of Rush?! But, just watching this was epic! Phenomenal! F-in GREAT! Thanks.😂😎
wow

I recorded the Clockwork Angels tour, some vids at my place.
Nice
Too much talent in one band.
Check out some of the videos from 1974 (with original drummer John Rutsey) and the B&W videos from 1976, you could tell Rush was destined to greater things in their career.

Takes a degree in calculus to play his shtt. Math rock!

It's funny how some people can flex their muscle. And other times. Hell they look like 55-60. And still do it.

Three humans
"Working Man"
Well, I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes, I'm workin' all the time
It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the workin' man
They call me the workin' man
I guess that's what I am
'Cause I get home at five o'clock
And I take myself out an ice cold beer
Always seem to be wonderin'
Why there's nothin' goin' down here
It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
The workin' man
Well, they call me the workin' man
I guess that's what I am
Well, they call me the workin' man
I guess that's what I am
Well, I get up at seven, yeah
And I'll go to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes, I'm workin' all the time
It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the workin' man
Well, they call me the workin' man
I guess that's what I am
They call me the workin' man
I guess that's what I am
What did they do to this song
Geddy had about lost his voice by then. Privately check out the studio version for a better song.
SEEN RUSH 20 TIMES U MISSED OUT ON REAL CONCERTS
Too bad Geddy's voice was shot by this time. 😕
