Neil Peart was himself a 'superconductor'; there are only a handful of 'power-trio' rock bands, but with his drum kit, and by his masterful lyrics, he humbly elevated RUSH to a level of status and respect untouched by other bands, trio or otherwise.
RIP Neil Peart. Your lyrics and drumming are superconductors in themselves and will continue superconducting in cyberspace. Thank You for all you have given us. Rest in Peace
thanks---part of the forte' was to intentionally always keep progressing--according to Peart, they didn't find a band identity until Moving Pictures, and myself, my inner-child stopped identifying with them at the album, but i did like some of the stuff post 82. they were comparable to Pat Metheny, for example, where Pat( and Lyall Maze ) weren't afraid to use any of the latest technology that came along, which any trad jazzers were mostly against, and the midi-system was some they used as well as Rush beginning around the late 70s. however, Rush also managed to do that as well as wright some radio friendly stuff to stay in the game.
I see some folk seem to think the crowd is "cheesy" and things along those lines. I'd just like to point out that it's to fit the theme of the song and its meaning, I believe the mindless behavior, generic reactions to everything and immediate shifts in attitude is intentional.
My friend and I were extras in the video. We were directed when to "rage" and when to "sway" lol. When we swayed we were supposed to have glazed-over looks in our eyes. The extras were TOTAL Rush fans I had to make up some excuse to get out of a college Spanish exam so I could spend all day raging and swaying. The Devo dude WAS the director but if memory serves the guys weren't terribly thrilled with the outcome. As you would expect Geddy was the most outgoing and Neil RIP read a book every time there was a break in filming.
The video was directed by one of the founding members of Devo, Gerald Casale. MTV videos were already becoming a thing of the past by this stage, and it didn't get much airplay. Yes, Geddy is standing on stage right (on the left, as we see him) when he NEVER does that during live performances; I don't know why he's out of place here.
this song is soooo great! i was 10 years old when i first heard it. im 25 years old now and i rock this song in my car all the fuckin time! people look at me weird but i dont care.
this classic rock video , was produce by Jerry Casale of , the legendary rock band, DEVO !,and rest in peace , to DAVID BOWIE, 1947 to 2016 !, and GOD speed !, DAVID BOWIE called DEVO the future of rock and roll !, and BOWIE, loved RUSH too !
Tony, the rock , band, DEVO is too strange and too advance for today's music tastes !, but i did see RUSH, live in Hartford Ct, in 1990 , and all the band members of RUSH, had on DEVO, T- shirts , that a picture of DEVO's , Oh No !,It's DEVO !, on them .
SAW THIS TOUR IN PHILLY -THE SETS AND AND REAR SCREEN VIDS WERE OUT OF HAND - VIDEo AT 2;25 WAS FROM A HELICOPTER STRAFING A TWISTING RIVER IN THE CANADIAN WILDERNESS AT AN INCREDIBLE SPEED
They wont. Geddy said not too long ago in an interview with Eddie Trunk that Neil not only is retired from Rush, but he is retired from drumming period. He can no longer physically play and doesnt play the drums at all anymore. Of course geddy and alex may do something together, but it would not be as rush. Rush is done forever. There is no rush with a different drummer. Geddy and Alex have both said that before. Honestly though Geddys voice was like beyond shot in their last few tours so I just really dont need to hear him dying on stage anymore. They did enough during their careers.
The tempo, beat, style is nothing like one of my other favorite songs from this time period. " Cult of Personality " Yet the message is the Same!! "Look in my eyes what do You See? I am the Cult of Per so nal ity !!". " They Know the Fallacy's You React to . Superconductor !!"📺🐇🔩
Availble Light, The Pass, Chain Lightnng, Show Me Don't Tell Me, Scars, Presto, Anagram (For Mongo), & War Paint - 8 of 11 are my faves off sn album I enjoy very much.
one of my closest friends in the world is in this video, he was 16 at the time but had already seen them a half dozen times by that point... in all, he's probably seen them close to 200 times... he had major stomach surgery then literally pulled all his IVs out the next day and left the hospital, flew to Toronto to see them on the T4E tour... to a lesser degree, he flew from Miami and me from San Francisco and met up to see them in St. Paul (2007), 4th row seats, as close as i have ever gotten... seriously thought he was going to kill himself after they hung it up for good.
once i got presto i did not like it at first. i listened to it over and over about 9 or 10 times that day. it has become one of my favorites. it's so different and unique. i think its one of those transition albums between eras of rush music..you guys are the best!!
Haven't u ever felt that rush albums from Power windows (1985) to Test for echo (1996), remind u of christmass?, thats what i fill when hearing this song. Thumbs up if u had.
Wonder why this never got a remastered official release on their TH-cam channel like they did for Tom Sawyer, Xanadu, The Trees, etc..This would be fun to see in 2023 quality!
A nice video clip, a great song wonderflu pre-chorus and chorus, with some fantastic drumming from Neil - slighlty simpler than usual it seems, but... nope ! what an intensity ! Superconductor is a favourite from the often forgotten "Presto", but I wonder why one can't find a video with a better definition... it's a pity. I remember well that they played a section of that in a medley started with Xanadu back in 1992, the only time I could attend a concert by Rush. Timeless memories. And I keep wondering why Neil called his song superconductor, really. I see the title from a scientist point of view, of course...
Is there a better than 240p version anywhere? I seem to be having trouble finding one....Out of all the music vids from Rush, this one's my personal favorite. 💙RUSH💙
@@daemonicnimrod4772 Yeah I expected that since you couldn’t find it in the first place, but I thought I might as well try. Oh well, at least there are lots of great high quality live versions you can watch!
@Drewski2112 Lackluster? You have me throughout your comment until then. This tune played live in concert is a standout of awesome. (Although you have to push me pretty hard to believe that anything they've done is even borderline lackluster) "Put you in a soft place, sentimental ease, they know the fantasies that you romance to..." That's entertainment my friend.
I loved this album got Rush back to rockin songs after the Power Windows and HYF albums not that they are bad but this is way better.I also loved seeing them on this tour at Madison square garden with the giant bunnies on the side of the stage and playboy bunny women giving all three a drink
This was the closest Rush ever came to doing someone else's song. It sounds a little like YOU BETTER, YOU BET by THE WHO during the chorus. Still it is not that close in similarity or in quality.

I AGREE!!!
Hell yea it is , Peart is off the charts with this one . . . . that snare drum of his just had the ever living shit kicked out of it
@@staceymoore5561 This video was produced and directed by Jerry Casale of DEVO !!!!
I'm not a huge fan of the Presto album, but it's not bad and this is definitely one of the better songs from it.
I’m in this video with my friends. What a great.moment in time from my life
That's so cool. I miss them.
🐇🎩👌🏻!....
What!?! That’s beyond cool.
Geez, Neil his playing and his lyrics. People really don't like this album, I can't see why? It's Rush, so I love it.
Agreed, the pass is a highlight of this album.
Presto is my favorite Rush album! Love all of it

this song should be a lot more famous than other ones
underrated classic, completely
Saw them on this tour, Presto, 1990. Blew me away! One of the few bands that manged to keep changing, and yet stay the same.

Presto was the first RUSH album I owned.

You are spot on. And it's directed by Gerald Casale of Devo.

Who cares what side of the stage they are on, close your eyes and listen to this kick ass song, now I ask does it matter???
"A strong and simple beat, that you can dance to!" ❤️❤️
I wish this song would make a comeback.
I never knew they made a video for this song. Its one of my favorites from Presto.
🐇🎩👌🏻!......
I remember seeing this video on the BOX, the pay per play video channel.
I was curious the other day if Rush ever had any videos on the box catalog. Very cool
Awesome song & great album. PRESTO!!!! 😃😃😃

Clever and biting satire of the entertainment world. Great song that never gets mentioned.
this song is soooo great! i was 10 years old when i first heard it. im 25 years old now and i rock this song in my car all the fuckin time! people look at me weird but i dont care.
rush pointing out simple music for the emotional driven ppl... very perceptive
I love how much time Alex has singing and contributing to the vocals on this song. ❗😎🤟🎶❗
You know it was Rupert Hine in the studio, right?
@@mzmadmike I had no Idea. Or I forgot. Thanks.

This song is a true delight to my ears. Rush never ceases to amaze me with their musical mastery.
The guy who made all the Devo videos made this one. Devo's bass player Gerald Casale. Now does everyone understand the crowd?
look at the freakin size of the speakers!!!!!
i want that im my room to listen to them
i was surprised when i found out this was in the top 1000 rock songs in seattle it grew on me after that
I have seen this Classic Rock song
Tribute to DEVO preformed
Live @The Hartford Civic Center May 1990 !! ALEX Playing the Synthesizer riff
OMG ! How much $$$ does Mr. Pearts 🥁 drum set owe him ! . The ferocity of his percussion is driving the narrative .
I miss them. Still can't believe or accept they're done. I'm holding out hope they will reunite again.

Neil Peart kinda had a really bad case of death. I have a suspicion Rush will never tour again.
@@DCMACNAMARA-vh6op No Neil, no Rush 😢🥁📙📚🙏🏻💐🌹🕯️😔.....
Ahhh, it's Rupert Murdoch on top of the stage!
Strange to see Lerxt & Dirk swap sides of the stage.
MARSHOMEWORLD first thing I noticed
It’s actually quite unsettling!!
Wow, true!
I was just getting on here to say the same until I started to scroll down and read your comment lol👍🏼
Yeah it was freaking me out. Also, Alex is playing a PRS but what was Ged playing?
I never knew there was a video for this song! Loved the symbology, cheesieness aside.
I think much of the cheesiness was on purpose, to drive home the message of the song.
rush is the Best.
Supercondutor → Superconductor
The tempo, beat, style is nothing like one of my other favorite songs from this time period. " Cult of Personality " Yet the message is the Same!! "Look in my eyes what do You See? I am the Cult of Per so nal ity !!". " They Know the Fallacy's You React to . Superconductor !!"📺🐇🔩

Just as good as any today pop song. This is not pop though it's better than pop.
I think this is good, 80's pop. Today's pop is really poo.
Alex looks like one of the baddie brothers in "die hard"
Hahaa
Best RUSH song ever

great tune
Presto isn't my fave album but chain lightning, the pass and this song are the best on this album in my opinion.
🐇🎩👌🏻!....
A Super PERFECT song of RUSH...I Live with it...THANX FOR SHARING................
Best RUSH video ever
Alex got more amazing with every album. Truly awesome.
I would love for them to put this song on the setlist for this year, I think it would be pretty funny
Big Brother is watching you
On Every move you make
And every cake you bake

Anyone here played Doom? The soundtrack of one of the stages always made me remember of this song..
Gabriel Nascimento which stage???

1. musically this is another masterpiece
2.lyricly,this is the most reveiling comment show buiness has ever made about itself.
Haven't u ever felt that rush albums from Power windows (1985) to Test for echo (1996), remind u of christmass?, thats what i fill when hearing this song.
Thumbs up if u had.
Always thought that it was a police related song...this makes more RUSH sense
if you see them live they do switch sides of the stage tho
No, they switched sides on this video!.....
Presto had got to be my favorite album, just above GUP,
Catchy, cheerful beats, that you can dance to.

Hmmm. The Superconductor is a foreshadowing... of... The Watchmaker ;)
