I remember when I was 7 years old, my dad took me to my first concert ever on this tour. I had listened to their music ever since i was an infant. I fell asleep as they were finishing up the show. I am now a dedicated drummer because of neil peart. may he rest in peace.
I agree, this is low key one of the better songs they ever wrote. Lots of great songs from Rush’s last 3 albums don’t get anywhere near the recognition they should. Armour and Sword, The Anarchist, Earthshine, Ghost Rider, The Wreckers… Hell, their album Test For Echo is extremely underrated. Great freakin band…
'Confused alarms of struggle and flight. Blood is drained of color. By the flashes of artillery light. No one gets to their heaven without a fight' Neil was an absolute lyrical genius. Hope to see him again, he was my hero as well!
Wow, what a tremendous song. Everything Rush touches becomes music nonpareil. We shall never see their like again, I fear. How lucky we were to witness this iconic band for over 40 years.
Some of Neil's greatest writing in this song "Our better natures seek elevation, A refuge for the coming night" and "Sometimes the spirit is too strong, Or the flesh is too weak, Sometimes the need is just too great, For the solace we seek" and others ... bang on the money for me.
Yeah but this album was also too angry towards religion for me. Im not religious but to have it banged over your head relentlessly like this was a bit much. In the past he would have a song here and there about it. Freewill for example. But a whole album about that wasnt really needed imo.
@@trenkenYeah considering the track “Faithless” - that’s the quagmire with this album - musically it’s off the charts, lyrically it’s more of Peart’s own commentary and hatred towards religion.
@@jcsman4244 yeah i mean he danced around his distaste for the religious mindset in stuff like freewill and many other songs, but a much older neil who was very jaded by the tragedies he experienced, came out with this album which was just an all out assault on religion. And it was also directly attacking believers is a pretty malicious way. Basically saying they are diseased. Geddy talked about this but neil was an angry man in his later years. He wasnt a nice guy and that comes out in this album more than any other. Only reason clockwork isnt all pissy is bc he just wrote some fake story instead of complaining about people.
Well,it is really true "No one gets to their heaven without a fight." You fought hard Neil, and now you're in peace in Heaven. I know you are doing a great drum solo right there to the angels and they all are amazed by your talent and geniality. We are lucky to have lived to witness the GOAT. Rest in peace, Neil.
my fav also but is he really in "heaven" we all know he did not cater to religion, even wrote songs about it. Faithless...... it is all just about love while we are here.
@@dorian2112This song says it all- "We hold beliefs as a consolation a medication or promised reward" Neil mocked God. I love Neil but i have cried so many times thinking about it. Its not that he didnt "cater to religion" its that he basically said to God -Yeah right lol, Show Me Dont Tell Me.
@@allansmith6715 since he had no belief in man made supernatural creatures it is unlikely he said anything to them. save your tears. from his books and interviews he seems to have been basically happy except for the tragedy in his life
Love the deep words of rush. Far more thought has went into their music and words. Rip Neil Peart. My favorite musical poet. I will listen till my end.
RIP Neil Peart!!!!! Gosh the beat pattern and time signature changes in this song are amazing!!!!!!! Thanks to on my opinion "the greatest drummer in music history"!!!!!!
This entire song is actually in 4/4. It’s something rush barely did, but Neil had figured out how to make it sound like was changing the timekeeping aspect by altering his playing. I saw an interview where he talks about it. The best ever
Snakes and Arrows was a prolific, thought provoking album which took guts to create. This tour was about many dark, saturnine topics and still was a tour de force of original, ferocious rock (even for Rush). This tour (after 42 concerts of Rush that I saw) is still one of my favorites along with Grace Under Pressure.
I had the privilege of seeing them at the Omni in Atlanta for the presto tour in 1990 or 91. I was 15 years old. It's my opinion that of the more modern Rush albums this is their masterpiece. As was moving pictures the masterpiece at 70s
Snakes and Arrows is Rush's greatest album they ever produced at least lyric wise. The Armour and the Sword is a song that so-called evangelical christians need to listen to and take heed of. And Clockwork Angels is a very close second....my opinion. And I go back as far as 1980 as my roots with this GREAT band.
That slow..graphic fade of the "The Professor " around the 1:40-1:50 mark is so very powerful and moving..fantastic song..fantastic craft.. Will never be duplicated... Some of Elwoods best imho.. Rip Ghost Rider..Rest easy..
That beat shift that Neil does at 3:49 is amazing!!!! He don't miss a beat in that shift!!!!! Wow!!!! But that's why he is in my opinion "the best"!!!!! RIP Neil!!!!!
R.i.p Neil Peart. I remember recording this exact footage on my DVR....id play the whole set on my Ibanez rg series...to a teet...rush was my absolute band back in highschool. Sux to see a great prog rock Drummer pass......fuck..the memories
For those of us who play guitar, it's so amazing that even with an elaborate amount of foot pedals, Alex Lifeson has the BOSS TU-12 Chromatic tuner as part of his stage rig.
I hated this album when it was released because to put me in such a dark mood. After all we have been through since then this music gives me great comfort.
I love this music and I love this band. If I ever were to get the chance to meet Geddy Lee, I would like to know what happened to his Rickenbacker, Wal, and Steinberger basses. And for that matter what happened to all of his original Moog keyboards?
1EvPv - Agreed. This is the rare case where the studio version of a Rush song is better. I think it's Alex's guitar not having the same punch in some power chords (at 1:07, 5:05, etc.)?
I disagree. I think the clarity of this live performance sounds BETTER than studio. Rush sounds better live in person but rarely do their live recordings sound good and balanced. This is an exception. Try listening to this on a real sound system.

This song is probably one of the best on the album. It's a progressive rock masterpiece.

Great freakin band…
@@nickbrevitz6747 Agreed. I also thought Far Cry was one of their better ones as well as Stick It Out and Driven.
Sometimes the spirit is too strong or flesh is too weak... R.I.P. my hero.
i read this comment as geddy sung it

God, I love the damn intro to this song.
The outtro too... Daaaamn
Both of you the song is Absolutely Beautiful. A Masterpiece of progressive rock

He understood the danger of the bad side of religion. The dark side of it. He had no disrespect for people who believed in Jesus.
You know, watching clips like this made me SOOOOOO fuckin glad I was able to see this band live a number of times. Just the absolute best.
Same!
I hear ya, I was just thinking that myself.
Same - first time in 1978 (Toronto) and then 1981 (Toronto) and finally 1990 (Sacramento).
Dido. Rush at Red Rocks (with thunderstorms) is a spiritual experience.
That bass tone is just killer.
Wonderful sounds. RUSH is the greatest rock band.
A billion percent in agreement my friend.
Cheers and long life!

He already was in his heaven 45-or-so years ago, or at least when Moving Pictures blew up

The bass is off the charts here. Sounds great!
The best track from Snakes and Arrows.

my god that was well said.
This song and really this whole album is really growing on me. I have been listening to it for about a month now.
this song is so heavy on the record.
One of their best.
It's absolutely beautiful.
One of my favorite Rush albums.
The best track on that album! So underrated
Geds bass is badass on this one.
Fabulous track from Sn&A.
One of my favorite tours!!
Legend has it that the line for the men's room is still over 10 minutes long here in 2024
only 312 likes in 6 years?!?!? the world is sadly missing out on good music. RIP NEP and TY for EVERYTHING!!!
We live in a world of 'Empty vessels'
So frigging sad!
Just goes to show that popular opinion is a piss-poor way to measure the worth of anything, especially music!
Snakes and Arrows is Rush's greatest album they ever produced at least lyric wise. The Armour and the Sword is a song that so-called evangelical christians need to listen to and take heed of. And Clockwork Angels is a very close second....my opinion. And I go back as far as 1980 as my roots with this GREAT band.
Love this song. I listen to it often. Rip Neil Peart. You were a great musical poet. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
I don't know what makes me drool more ... Alex's huge stack of Hughes & Kettner power, or Geddy's huge stack of rotisserie chicken.
That slow..graphic fade of the "The Professor " around the 1:40-1:50 mark is so very powerful and moving..fantastic song..fantastic craft..
Will never be duplicated...
Some of Elwoods best imho..
Rip Ghost Rider..Rest easy..
I clipped that part too, awesome 🤘
A future of eternal Light my precious man....miss you
pribably Rushs most metal intros. RIP the professor
I absolutely LOVE this album!!!
I saw this tour in New Orleans. Great fun! Amazing show
Arguably one of the best performances in their latter days
That beat shift that Neil does at 3:49 is amazing!!!! He don't miss a beat in that shift!!!!! Wow!!!! But that's why he is in my opinion "the best"!!!!! RIP Neil!!!!!
@@robinjohnson6301 It sounds cool. That's what he means.
Certas cidadãos não deveriam morrer nunca... sorte ainda termos como ve-los forever and ever....RUSH IS THE BEST...

Neil Peart.O mestre.
I can't believe it's already been a year ago today..
RIP Professer
Still seeing him live in videos makes me sad.
For those of us who play guitar, it's so amazing that even with an elaborate amount of foot pedals, Alex Lifeson has the BOSS TU-12 Chromatic tuner as part of his stage rig.
Easily my favorite song from this album.
Still makes me sad this beautiful experience has come to its end.😓
Holy Cow, this may be the first time I've seen this one live!
Best rush album ,musically and technologically
this particularly gig has to be watched in blu ray!
I hated this album when it was released because to put me in such a dark mood. After all we have been through since then this music gives me great comfort.
I actually loved the final three rush albums because of their darker sound. Reflects the turmoil Neil went through for sure
@@BrodyReyno Vapor Trails is my favorite and the last one is up there very high on my list for sure.
I always hear the line this way:
“The battle flags are flown at the feet of a garden gnome.” LOL
Also, I’ve noticed the rotisserie chicken ovens behind Geddy before; today I just realized that behind Alex is a trash dumpster!😂
RUSH É MUITO FODA
Actual musicians 💯
Geddy'bass tone though...
Vi esse som chorando
This video was uploaded with the 5.1 mix audio track and TH-cam downmixed it to 2.0. It don't sound right. Unbalanced audio and guitars almost buried.
I love this music and I love this band.
If I ever were to get the chance to meet Geddy Lee, I would like to know what happened to his Rickenbacker, Wal, and Steinberger basses. And for that matter what happened to all of his original Moog keyboards?
Ged has a huge collection of bass guitars. Including, pretty much every one he's ever owned. No idea about such ephemerals as keyboards.
RIP, Neil 😊
Trying to learn this song on bass which seems simple upon first listen and then... "I'm Geddy Lee, Ma'fker! Nothing I do is "simple!"
Que sonzera
Everything is everything when you start at the beginning Give Thanks to be
The snakes and arrows a child is heir to
Are enough to leave a thousand cuts
We build our defense as a place of safety
and leave the darker places unexplored
So freakin good
No one gets to the Heaven without a fight.. :) Edit: Their Heaven!
+Gary Tackett dont post the same comment twice
No one gets to their heaven without a fight.......
ニール・パートが生きているうちに2回目の来日公演をしてほしかった
Holy balls!
Did they forget to plug in Alex's guitar???
Adjust the play back speed to x1.25
This is the tempo of how this song should've been done
That was fun! A little too fast, though. I'd say, x1.12 would be interesting.
What show was this?
...the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force...(Mt 11 : 12)
No one gets to the Heaven without a fight.. :)
It's actually...."No one gets to their heaven without a fight".
crowd was lame
If you do not know religion, then this is your chance. Don’t waste it.
wth is with all the artifacting in the video?
CODEC FAIL 🙄
Love this song but it does not seem to translate well in a live performance.
I think it sounds pretty good.
it does, just the emotion just did not come though for me.
1EvPv - Agreed. This is the rare case where the studio version of a Rush song is better. I think it's Alex's guitar not having the same punch in some power chords (at 1:07, 5:05, etc.)?

+Johann Wilder Completely agree.. love this live version from S&A and on my home sound system.
