He actually messes up at the 3:05 mark... hits the cymbal AND THERE IS NO SOUND. Hits it like a second later and it crashes nicely. Playing to a soundtrack.
Yes they are . As gene simmons once said I never understood why they never partied and why women weren't always in their rooms. Well while kiss was getting laid Rush was practicing. And are one and if not the tightest band in the world.
Nick Korte Because Rush did have wives when they started out i thought. that could be a reason. Geddy did say they did alot of pot tho. And those women rockstars smash didnt see talent. They saw MONEY.
+Nick Korte because no one likes complicated musicians where as the simple progression catchy songs get more attention. That's just how it works now...no one really give a shit for complicated stuff. Make something simple and catchy and have a unique image and everybody well jump on your nuts lolz
+Maya Ash I know they are. I'm replying to the other guys comment about How Kiss got laid more than Rush. Simple because Kiss is just more catchy simple and unique image that's just how it works in today's music you know? Who get laid more the complicated jazz musicians with no image or uniqueness or the rock band who has a unique image and creates simple catchy songs?
At 2:52 starts one of the most accomplish piece of music ever created by a human mind; bass guitar, string guitar, synth and drums, combined in perfect armonic synergy. Thirty plus years later still gives me goosebumps.
Rush's music is technically among the best... in the world of rock. But that's just it. If you only listen to rock, you will be easily impressed. To compare them to Mozart and Beethoven is just not accurate, and I'm sure Rush would agree.
Ron Baran Yup, but that's only because he's in the company of two other world-class musicians who frequently rank in top 10's of best bass players and drummers ever. I can't think of any other band with the same incredible musical prowess as this trio. I think the odds are one in a million for three people with this level of talent to meet each other and start a band.
Ron Baran I did say two OTHER world-class musicians. Alex's playing is nothing short of marvelous; this song and La Villa Strangiato are excellent examples of that. He also played that fantastic guitar solo on Porcupine Tree's "Anesthetize". Alex Gittins The Who and Led Zeppelin are also great examples of rock bands consisting of only really talented musicians (two of my favorites), but I can't see them nailing something as complex as YYZ live.
I miss my RUSH! My favorite band of all time. Geniuses ..all 3 of them! I seen them LIVE only 13 times & won free concert tickets too! Their lyrics were intellectual and their chords, complicated. Not like the garbage of today that takes no thought. We miss you Mr. Neil Peart❣️
Geddy's bass , every single one of them is very distinctive . . . As is Neil's drums Alex is an absolute beast but I feel it would be a little harder to isolate him out of a crowd
Too bad he did not grab his jetglo 4001 - and yes, i know he used his JB In all tracks from MP but two (Red Barchetta and Vital Signs as far as i remember)
I saw this cover today: th-cam.com/video/8_HeVyc5-GY/w-d-xo.html and while everyone did a great job, it was the bass tone that I found lacking. Then I came hunting for the original :)
Yes, they wrote it as a tribute to Toronto Airport, saying they spent so much time in and out of it, that they decided to make this using Morse code for YYZ. YYZ in Morse is -.-- -.-- --.-
Funny I go back and forth between Rush and Yes, truly epic bands. If I was stuck on an island with these two bands to listen to I'd be a ok. Of course I love other music, but these guys are true genius the way they mix the lyrics with the music. I believe only a few people really get it.
Geddy Lee looks so non-chalant about the whole thing! absoluting shredding that bassline and he looks like he's trying to decide what to have for dinner tonight!
Well, he's playing on his own signature series Fender. So its like riding a bike for him. Wish I had that level of comfort on the bass. There is a female bassist Anna, on youtube know as Annappocalypsee (or something), she is super bad ass and does a cover of this song. Check it, watch it, fall in love!
When I was young my father listen to rush every day every time and I say to him : I don't like this it's a very bad music.. Now I am 28 years old and I love them I'm listing to all them musics... And I regret to can't listen and speak to my passion of rush with my father.... My dream will be to go with him in a concert.. But it's too late. Thanks to my Algeria father who try to show me the real good music. Ps= sorry for my language I am French 😅
Dude good story. I was struggling as a teen with a broken family when my best friend's dad took us to see Rush in Montreal in 1983. I gained high respect for that man and he became a huge influence in my life, and still is. Something about Rush is very healing, just keep on listening. :)
RIP Neil thank you so much for sharing your gift with us and leaving a legacy of great music that exists thankfully because good music is somehow unable to be made any longer.
Watching these 3 musicians brings a tear to my eye. They elevate music to new heights. These songs I've heard them many times over the years... But to watch them play these songs its like hearing them for the first time. They never get old. There is a magic to them. Love you guys.
The video editing on this is spot on. I love Rush and always have ,even through the eighties when they got a little too overboard on synths. But the editing on this is exquisite. All the little detail riffs in this song Between Alex, Geddy and the Professor are what makes it so unmistakable. And the Editor deserves a great amount of credit on this one. WELL DONE!
I'm almost 52 now, when I saw the cover of 2112 album back in 1978 from my older cousin. Then he played it from front to back... Hooked ever since. YYZ just epic!
G Cormier California yeah 2112 was my second album purchase from them... my first one was fly by night.. I thought... "hmm heard this was a good band"... Anthem blew my mind right away
Thank you gents for sending magic music my way as a teen age boy in the 1970eez! From Canada to Massachusetts! Enjoyed seeing you in Manchester NH about ten or so years ago. Good vibes headed your way!
None of these guys got the credit they deserve. And in the time of their heyday they were one of the most underplayed bands on the radio. They were considered "too hard rock" or "not mainstream enough." Now they're "old." I think they are timeless and masterful. I still remember reading Omni magazine and listening to them as a kid.
Anyone who is a fan of music, period should appreciate Rush's incredible catalog. They never stopped expanding with their works, so they always seemed intriguing even to the curious. The fans know how great THEY ARE!
Rest in peace Neil Peart 12 September 1955 - 7 January 2020 Rest in peace, we love you, you great soul. You will live on through the musical achievement of Rush.
It's so refreshing to just watch craftsmen deliver their creation without all of the histrionics around 'selling' their song; makeup, running, jumping, screaming...spare me. Rush was so unpretentious yet so impeccably gifted. So Canadian.
I started listening to Rush back when this first came out in jr high now as a grandfather I’m still playing on my head phones in my man cave…seen them in concert in Little Rock and OKC..Neal played a drum solo..you could hear a pin drop between licks.RIP sir
They make each other better, they could never replace one this is Rush period. My favourite instrumental of theirs is definitely La Villa Strangiato that just tells me a story beyond words, can't believe it doesn't have more views.
How does 3 amazing musicians land at the same spot on Earth ? Hard to believe they have been making me deaf for the last 47 years! Seen them many times live in the last several decades. Reading Neil's book Ghost Rider now. Incredible,
What if the very best guitarist in the world and the very best bassist and the very best drummer all got together and formed a band..... oh yeah...that would be a RUSH!
I'm not a Dream Theater fan but I play bass. John is very accomplished in areas Geddy is not. Geddy is far from being the very best bassist. But, I think YYZ is a great piece of rock music. BTW, Geddy cites his friend, Jeff Berlin, as the best bassist in the world. Not far off in my opinion.
Never has there been in my humble opinion a greater guitarist that incorporates rhythm, riffs and musical harmony all combined with song writing as great as Alex Lifeson. As a Torontonian when i was young my first experience going to a concert was at Massey Hall to witness Rush on the second night of their first live album "All The Worlds a Stage" ... my jaw dropped and i was never the same again ... Alex makes me so proud to be a Canadian.
how in the hell does this video have dislikes. I mean what the fuck if You cant appreciate this kind of musician ship you're not even allowed to listen to music.
ThE Herbivore You sound like your were born in the wrong generation. Also the video was probably disliked by people that noticed the bad syncing in the video to a different recording.
Can't get enough of the bass groove 2min in. That little drop down back to his groove - right after the pinch harmonics at the end of his 3rd solo (2:14). Freakin brilliant. Adds so much momentum. Little touches like that throughout that blow my mind.
i honestly can say that ive seen alot of bands in my time but Rush is the absolute best band ever...timing, guitar both alex and geddy, neil peart...so happy they walk the Earth with their music. TOTAL control of their instraments and there will never EVER be a 3 man band like them in our lifetime...GUARANTEED. How could there be? lyrics, talent perfection of thier instaments..wont happen
I think what's happening is that they're actually playing, but the live sound is muted and the album track is overlayed on the video. Example: at 3:06, Neil Peart clearly hits the cymbal on his right (our left) but no sound is heard.
Best band of all time. They came up with so many complex beats and patterns and grooves. They combined all kinds of music together.. No one else sounds like Rush.. at all.. not even close. I Usually say stuff like.... Geddy was the best basist ever or Neil was the best drummer ever... But Alex is the best guitar player ever.... And im talking about over my favorite guitar player of all time , Randy Rhoads. I love when i was just getting into Rush... i had to listen to a song like 100 times to finally understand the beat and how they had so many different parts to a song... making the song a story.. taking your mind of a journey of thoughts and feelings... haha .
So many comments saying that one of these guys or two of these guys or all three of these guys are underrated or didn’t get the credit they deserve. I don’t know who people hang out with but everyone I know say these guys on list of top musicians. They may not have got the radio play as much as people think they deserve but that’s because they didn’t make music that was “radio friendly.”
uh no. Lester B Pearson is in Mississauga, Ontario. It's close to Toronto, but the Airport is physically located in Mississauga. The Billy Bishop Airport is in Toronto.
Yes, technically CYYZ is in Missisauga, but it's called Toronto Pearson International Airport. YYZ VOR/DME is called Toronto VOR/DME (where the song and the rhythm originally came from). Rush is from Willowdale, North York.
I love Rush, they are my all time favorite band, comprised of 3 of the best musicians of all time. That being said, I am certain the music I am hearing in this vid is the original recording. There was even one cymbal crash that Neil did in the vid that you couldn't hear on the audio. Every single note, every nuance, every tone, every harmonic, even the feedback was spot on exact to the original recording. There is no way they could replicate every single thing so perfectly. I'm sure they were playing the song, but I'm sure what we were hearing was the original recording. Anyone with me on this?
Agree. When Geddy's synth parts dominate, the video only shows Neil drumming. Only after the synth part does the camera cut back to Geddy, and he only has his bass, synths don't seem to be there.
RUSH always placed their expert musicianship above all else. That's what sold their albums. Not tight pants, big hair, cheesy love ballads... They were (ARE) FN musicians. Experts at their craft. Peart is up there with Bonham and Buddy Rich. Geddys bass isn't a support instrument, part of the rhythm section.. NO he plays that MFer hard enough to make Flea smile. And Alex has to be the most underrated guitarist ever. He can sound like Santana, Page, Gilmour and Van Halen all in the same song but more importantly he has his own sound that is as clean as it gets. RUSH ROCKS.
Ces trois musiciens sont de vrais virtuoses, je les aie connus dès 1974, dommage que leurs concerts en France ont été rarissimes ! Dès que j'entends Rush, c'est toute une partie de ma vie et de souvenirs qui réapparaissent. These three musicians are true virtuosos, I have known them since 1974, a pity that their concerts in France were extremely rare! As soon as I hear Rush, a whole part of my life and memories reappear.
Have seen them live several times. They can play this. There's a reason why Geddy Lee and Neil Peart are considered by many to be the best ever. And Alex is WAY under-rated on leads.
Pikaboss hmm...this is odd...I remember seeing another video I was responding to and somehow I apparently accidentally put the comment on here. Obviously I know there are no lyrics...lol.
Dorian Samaniego its obvious that someone copied and pasted the studio recording over this which was a special little "inside the studio's" thing that rush did. no bad editing, just bad copying skills
The first time I hit the tarmac at the Detroit or Toronto airport I looked for the luggage trams and sure enough - many were tagged with YYZ!!! I tried to always sport my Rush tees and hollered out a big hell yea!!!
These three complete virtuoso's are too easy to fall in love with. I was playing along with their songs from the first album foward (Well, after falling in love everything they wrote and played on the All the World's a Stage live album). True Rush fans probably have a difficult time naming one song that isn't appealing in some way shape or form (often appealing in many ways). From a guitarist's standpoint (as I am) Alex has always been one of the most creative writers for the instrument but Rush fans know all of this. In this particular song and many others the thing that really stands out is that Alex and Geddy do their expected magical things at the highest level of creativity and technique but Neil doesn't sound like he is playing variations as you listen along....Neil somehow sounds like he's expressing three songs (or more)...not just one (or is it just me?). Thanks again Rush! They've always been so awesome!
Not sure if this has been dealt with in the comments below but.....YYZ is properly pronounced as yy zed in Canada and its the tag for Toronto's Airport.
And I can’t believe I have loved this song for like 40 years and just found out the very beginning is morse code for YYZ lol… then it’s like DUH….. I should have known that 😂😂
As a kid I was blown away by what I was hearing with Rush but had no idea about the technical aspect of these songs. As an adult guitar player I am still blown away by Rush!
Alex is one of the truly unsung guitar heroes. Very few guitarists could have hung what THAT bassist and THAT drummer. Alex was a beast in his own right.
A friend and I were listening to this song waaaaay back in early 1990's. We were smoking up and enjoying songs. YYZ came on so my friend blasted it. When the song high the very high note, two glasses that were one sitting stacked one inside the other literally shattered and flipped us out.

honestly, they all look half-asleep
Ayo why drummers dead tho 🤔🤔
@@slipprs__9383 Brain cancer and he died on my birthday but why on my birthday. :(
He actually messes up at the 3:05 mark... hits the cymbal AND THERE IS NO SOUND. Hits it like a second later and it crashes nicely. Playing to a soundtrack.
it's like they are all soloing at once but still working together as a unit. you just cannot replicate it, crazy.
every member is just a god at their instrument
Yes they are . As gene simmons once said I never understood why they never partied and why women weren't always in their rooms. Well while kiss was getting laid Rush was practicing. And are one and if not the tightest band in the world.

Calm down guys.
+Zyphon You are right! But the whole song is just mind blowing. Mozart and Beethoven would be either very pleased or extremely envious!
it's good, but don't exaggerate. for instance, listen to Rendez vous 6.02, by UK, now THAT'S harmonic synergy...
Rush's music is technically among the best... in the world of rock. But that's just it. If you only listen to rock, you will be easily impressed. To compare them to Mozart and Beethoven is just not accurate, and I'm sure Rush would agree.
R.I.P. Neil Peart (1952-2020)
For we have lost a legend that inspired hundreds if not thousands of drummers.
I'd be willing to bet it was thousands and the number is continously growing
10s of thousands...
including this one since 1976. Rest easy NEP.
I think definitely thousands, maybe tens of thousands!
If there was one guitarist that did not get the recongnition.... it was definitley Alex Lifeson
most.underated.ever.
Ron Baran Yup, but that's only because he's in the company of two other world-class musicians who frequently rank in top 10's of best bass players and drummers ever. I can't think of any other band with the same incredible musical prowess as this trio. I think the odds are one in a million for three people with this level of talent to meet each other and start a band.
Sir Psycho Sexy, that's 3 World class musicians in my book, just sayin. i like the way you think though
Sir Psycho Sexy the who
Ron Baran I did say two OTHER world-class musicians. Alex's playing is nothing short of marvelous; this song and La Villa Strangiato are excellent examples of that. He also played that fantastic guitar solo on Porcupine Tree's "Anesthetize".

that bass tone is godly
Ben Shone it's "byeowmpy".
If you say, "byeowmp" out loud, it sounds like a model of the sound Ged's attack profile lend his strings.
Byeowmpy.
Heh.
yes yes
Geddy's bass , every single one of them is very distinctive . . .
As is Neil's drums
Alex is an absolute beast but I feel it would be a little harder to isolate him out of a crowd
Too bad he did not grab his jetglo 4001 - and yes, i know he used his JB In all tracks from MP but two (Red Barchetta and Vital Signs as far as i remember)
I saw this cover today: th-cam.com/video/8_HeVyc5-GY/w-d-xo.html and while everyone did a great job, it was the bass tone that I found lacking. Then I came hunting for the original :)
Aviões e Músicas indicou, introdução da música - "YYZ" em código morse do aeroporto de Toronto no Canadá
Y que crees? que no lo sabia nadie o que , imbecil
Yes, they wrote it as a tribute to Toronto Airport, saying they spent so much time in and out of it, that they decided to make this using Morse code for YYZ. YYZ in Morse is -.-- -.-- --.-
Também vim pela indicação do Aviões e Músicas. Salve Lito!
Accurate bass. Beautiful melody guitar. Power drum. Trio celebrity rush. YYZ best song. RUSH fun in Japan
This song is so badass!!! I can't !!!! It is BOTH RUSH AND YES! I wish they toured together and done an all out jam session on stage.
Funny I go back and forth between Rush and Yes, truly epic bands. If I was stuck on an island with these two bands to listen to I'd be a ok. Of course I love other music, but these guys are true genius the way they mix the lyrics with the music. I believe only a few people really get it.
I'd have to add Kansas and Gentle Giant to the list as well. Those four bands are essential listens for any prog lover!
***** a MAN of my own heart... I do exactly the same!! RUSH and Yes... back and forth...
I love Geddy's mischievous squints into camera. What masters of their instruments they were / are.
Geddy Lee looks so non-chalant about the whole thing! absoluting shredding that bassline and he looks like he's trying to decide what to have for dinner tonight!
Well, he's playing on his own signature series Fender. So its like riding a bike for him. Wish I had that level of comfort on the bass.

Steak and chips.
He plays the bass like a lead guitar.
Music at its best!!! One of the greatest instrumental ever created. Rush is the the worlds best power trio ever!!!!🥁🥁🥁🥁🎸🎸🎸🎸👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
This is one of their more complex songs. They're so talented THAT THEY ACTUALLY LOOK BORED
Bc they aren't playing. You can tell all 3 of them are miming their instruments to the studio overdub.
@@VGLSTO I get the sense that the guys, and Geddy in particular, are not happy with miming.
You know a song is great when the end makes you pump your fist and go "Yeah!". Why don't I listen to this band more often? Like, nonstop?

i honestly can say that ive seen alot of bands in my time but Rush is the absolute best band ever...timing, guitar both alex and geddy, neil peart...so happy they walk the Earth with their music. TOTAL control of their instraments and there will never EVER be a 3 man band like them in our lifetime...GUARANTEED. How could there be? lyrics, talent perfection of thier instaments..wont happen
theyre so good they look bored.
nacho aaron The song is probably too easy for them haha!
Not sure Neil is miming those drums
I think what's happening is that they're actually playing, but the live sound is muted and the album track is overlayed on the video. Example: at 3:06, Neil Peart clearly hits the cymbal on his right (our left) but no sound is heard.
Dude, this is the original recording, lol, it's mimed or lip drummed, or whatever you might call it...
Everything they do just comes so natural to them it's un fucking believable.. They are the best at what they do....
RIP Neil! You’ll always be a legend!!
It's fantastic when older players still care, practice and play their music the way it was originally done, not coasting through the set.
Best band of all time. They came up with so many complex beats and patterns and grooves. They combined all kinds of music together.. No one else sounds like Rush.. at all.. not even close. I Usually say stuff like.... Geddy was the best basist ever or Neil was the best drummer ever... But Alex is the best guitar player ever.... And im talking about over my favorite guitar player of all time , Randy Rhoads. I love when i was just getting into Rush... i had to listen to a song like 100 times to finally understand the beat and how they had so many different parts to a song... making the song a story.. taking your mind of a journey of thoughts and feelings... haha .
So many comments saying that one of these guys or two of these guys or all three of these guys are underrated or didn’t get the credit they deserve. I don’t know who people hang out with but everyone I know say these guys on list of top musicians. They may not have got the radio play as much as people think they deserve but that’s because they didn’t make music that was “radio friendly.”
Did you know melody starting from beggining till 0:34 means "YYZ" in morse code. You can check with a translator.
cool fact!
Also the airport code for Lester B Pearson Airport, where the boys are from (Toronto).
uh no. Lester B Pearson is in Mississauga, Ontario. It's close to Toronto, but the Airport is physically located in Mississauga. The Billy Bishop Airport is in Toronto.
Agreed. It is in Mississauga, but it's also called Toronto Pearson Airport and has a Toronto area code (416).
Yes, technically CYYZ is in Missisauga, but it's called Toronto Pearson International Airport. YYZ VOR/DME is called Toronto VOR/DME (where the song and the rhythm originally came from). Rush is from Willowdale, North York.
It's unbelievable how bad ass this song is!! I have to listen to it everyday
RIP Neil. GOAT rock drummer in my book.
I love Rush, they are my all time favorite band, comprised of 3 of the best musicians of all time. That being said, I am certain the music I am hearing in this vid is the original recording. There was even one cymbal crash that Neil did in the vid that you couldn't hear on the audio. Every single note, every nuance, every tone, every harmonic, even the feedback was spot on exact to the original recording. There is no way they could replicate every single thing so perfectly. I'm sure they were playing the song, but I'm sure what we were hearing was the original recording. Anyone with me on this?
Agree. When Geddy's synth parts dominate, the video only shows Neil drumming. Only after the synth part does the camera cut back to Geddy, and he only has his bass, synths don't seem to be there.
Ged plays melody on that bass. Can’t say enuff great things about this outstanding band!!! Long live Rush.
RIP Neil Peart
"the best drummer in the world"
RUSH always placed their expert musicianship above all else. That's what sold their albums. Not tight pants, big hair, cheesy love ballads... They were (ARE) FN musicians. Experts at their craft. Peart is up there with Bonham and Buddy Rich. Geddys bass isn't a support instrument, part of the rhythm section.. NO he plays that MFer hard enough to make Flea smile. And Alex has to be the most underrated guitarist ever. He can sound like Santana, Page, Gilmour and Van Halen all in the same song but more importantly he has his own sound that is as clean as it gets.
RUSH ROCKS.
R.O.A. Absolutely agree ;)
Four words: Seemingly effortless sonic perfection. One word: Rush!
Soooo under rated. This bands music was so influential and full you would never guess they are a trio!!
Musical Gods. Putting these 3 guys together results in complete perfection.
Valeu Lito,ótima música!Aviões e Músicas é top!!!
this song always reminded me of a song that could have been on sonic the hedgehog 2.
Lol, for me it sounds like f-zero on the snes or burnout of the ps(2?) Early console music anyway!!
I was looking for a comment like this
Reminds me of the doon theme song
MY mate just bought an old mega drive with sonic 2, the lion king and Aladdin. We're just looking for another controller - feeling excited!
I always got a Pokemon legendary fight vibe from this
rest in peace neil peart :(
Pure musicians like Rush never fail to put me into musical heaven! Such an incredible band.
Ces trois musiciens sont de vrais virtuoses, je les aie connus dès 1974, dommage que leurs concerts en France ont été rarissimes !
Dès que j'entends Rush, c'est toute une partie de ma vie et de souvenirs qui réapparaissent.
These three musicians are true virtuosos, I have known them since 1974, a pity that their concerts in France were extremely rare!
As soon as I hear Rush, a whole part of my life and memories reappear.
My mind was just blown and I am a life long RUSH fan !
To the letter !
Lito e suas recomendações geniais..
How can anyone NOT like this?
If they have absolutely no understanding of music whatsoever. That's the only way.
Easy. This is "lip-synced"
Have seen them live several times. They can play this. There's a reason why Geddy Lee and Neil Peart are considered by many to be the best ever. And Alex is WAY under-rated on leads.
LudwigSC93 uh it has no vocals... genius
Pikaboss hmm...this is odd...I remember seeing another video I was responding to and somehow I apparently accidentally put the comment on here. Obviously I know there are no lyrics...lol.
St. Louis loves you guys and will miss your (mere words do not describe) fantastic show!!!!
Damn! I always fu**ing loved Rush! These guys are the most talented Canadian musicians of all time. Agreed?!?
Man, Tom Hanks can really kill it on the drums!

Neils first drum fill on his tom was clearly a snare sound, bad editing, but that is not their fault. these guys are the best ever.
i didn't notice that at first, i wonder if there are any other editing mistakes...
Dorian Samaniego its obvious that someone copied and pasted the studio recording over this which was a special little "inside the studio's" thing that rush did. no bad editing, just bad copying skills
RIP Neil. A true inspiration.
The first time I hit the tarmac at the Detroit or Toronto airport I looked for the luggage trams and sure enough - many were tagged with YYZ!!! I tried to always sport my Rush tees and hollered out a big hell yea!!!
Alex on the lead guitar was astonishing to watch in this video. So clean. Incredible!
can it get any better than this?
hint: no
No.
No Moe-no Moe.
yikes.
Lost one of the BEST drummers Neil Peart rest in peace.
I bet in one of the upcoming seasons Dr.Krieger will master it!
That's why I came here! Watching that episode now.
Lol me too
I'm so hoping they do this at the Taylor hawkins tribute. Drums and guitar on point, dave will man the drums
You got your wish brother!
These three complete virtuoso's are too easy to fall in love with. I was playing along with their songs from the first album foward (Well, after falling in love everything they wrote and played on the All the World's a Stage live album). True Rush fans probably have a difficult time naming one song that isn't appealing in some way shape or form (often appealing in many ways). From a guitarist's standpoint (as I am) Alex has always been one of the most creative writers for the instrument but Rush fans know all of this. In this particular song and many others the thing that really stands out is that Alex and Geddy do their expected magical things at the highest level of creativity and technique but Neil doesn't sound like he is playing variations as you listen along....Neil somehow sounds like he's expressing three songs (or more)...not just one (or is it just me?). Thanks again Rush! They've always been so awesome!
Saudações aeronáuticas! Tudo bem com vocês?
Bela recomendação do Lito 🎶
Aviões e musica me fez saber a história dessa música, a música em si eu conhecia, mas como ela foi criada não. Muito show, a história e a música.
Esse trio é assombroso! Que time!! =]
Not sure if this has been dealt with in the comments below but.....YYZ is properly pronounced as yy zed in Canada and its the tag for Toronto's Airport.
And I can’t believe I have loved this song for like 40 years and just found out the very beginning is morse code for YYZ lol… then it’s like DUH….. I should have known that 😂😂
As a kid I was blown away by what I was hearing with Rush but had no idea about the technical aspect of these songs. As an adult guitar player I am still blown away by Rush!
this is the first Rush song I've learned on the drums.... RIP Neil
Alex...the master at play...
The fact that YYZ was conceived out of an afternoon of jamming is absolutely incredible
Originally it was just gonna be a bass and drum gig
it was conceived from the morse code tapping of the Toronto airport code (YYZ).
Alex is one of the truly unsung guitar heroes. Very few guitarists could have hung what THAT bassist and THAT drummer. Alex was a beast in his own right.
Simply, AWESOME. Seriously Talented. Thank you for years of great music.
Vim pelo Aviões e Músicas!
If Mozart formed a Rock band !!!
I's so sad. Rest in Peace, my friend.
Form of this song is a painting itself...What a talented group.
A friend and I were listening to this song waaaaay back in early 1990's. We were smoking up and enjoying songs. YYZ came on so my friend blasted it. When the song high the very high note, two glasses that were one sitting stacked one inside the other literally shattered and flipped us out.
