I wanted to thumbs down this, but not because I thought it was a bad comment. I just couldn't hit the icon. It's beyond sad. For many of us, a life-changing and truly generational (or dare I say a lifetime) band. For those of us who were lucky enough to see them live, we have been truly blessed. I still can't rationalize that Neil is no longer 'here'.
Don't know if you realize it or not but this song was on the list of songs Rush had never played live before, this tour was the first and only time ever. Another song from Permanent Waves, Different Strings, is also on that list and with Neil's passing will sadly, always remain there. R.I.P. Professor.
I completely agree. And one of my pet peeves is when they say old are the greatest prog rock band ever. That just pisses me off cuz there's so much more than that there is the greatest band ever
He has returned to the Great Spirit, a Wise Man who said little but his lyrics and playing moved the Earth for decades. We will remember him and hope he is finally free from pain and tragedy.
Jason Goodwin g’day Jason. I love ghost of a chance. Beautiful song. To cut a long story short, I only got into rush after Neil peart’s death, even though I’d been aware of them since the 80s. I finally got the last few discs a few weeks ago... roll the bones, counterparts and test for echo... as is the way of these rush albums, there is always one song that is the breakthrough song, and on RTB it’s ghost of a chance. There’s always a gem hidden way deep in Rush albums.
Shane Wilson I’ve listened to Rush off and on over the past 30 years, so I’m well aware of their body of work. Having said that, while Tom Sawyer is their best known song, my favorite is Circumstances. At any rate, the lyrics are just phenomenal. Some people can’t get into Rush because they are unique in so many ways. But it’s what set them apart from everyone else that helped to create their dedicated fan base.
We are secrets to each other Each one's life a novel No-one else has read Even joined in bonds of love We're linked to one another By such slender threads We are planets to each other Drifting in our orbits To a brief eclipse Each of us a world apart Alone and yet together Like two passing ships Just between us I think it's time for us to recognize The differences we sometimes feared to show Just between us I think it's time for us to realize The spaces in between Leave room For you and I to grow We are strangers to each other Full of sliding panels An illusion show Acting well-rehearsed routines Or playing from the heart? It's hard for one to know Just between us I think it's time for us to recognize The differences we sometimes feared to show Just between us I think it's time for us to realize The spaces in between Leave room For you and I to grow We are islands to each other Building hopeful bridges On a troubled sea Some are burned or swept away Some we would not choose But we're not always free Just between us I think it's time for us to recognize The differences we sometimes feared to show Just between us I think it's time for us to realize The spaces in between Leave room For you and I to grow
They couldn't have done a better job playing this live. All those other bands who play sloppy as hell live - let these guys show you how it should be done.
They never cheated their audience I doubt they ever had an off night live. And even if they did by their standards I'm sure they were still great. Saw them 7 times ...always fantastic. I like Van Halen but I caught a show on the 1984 tour and they were incredibly sloppy and didn't seem to give a shit. Rush were never primadonnas.
I was 12 years young when Permanent Waves dropped and found my odd introverted eccentric self aligned into a kindred spirit with Rush. My mind blown and intellect invaded with such ethereal musicianship and elevated lyricism. Entre Nous is just one of those dainty prophetic tunes that echoes of passerby wisdom and rich humanism that is truly timeless in its existence. I have a Rush shaped hole in my heart since their retirement.
That little smile that Geddy gives Alex at 3:01 before the start of Alex's solo and the video of the three of them together at 3:07 brings out some emotion knowing this will never happen again
Yeah, there are lots of those moments in videos of them playing that convey enjoyment, connection and affection between the three of them. Wonderful to see....
Approaching the 3 minute mark the knowing looks between Alex and Geddy are beyond priceless... Niel just doing his thing- letting Ged sing his lyrics- Beautiful...
When that second verse starts after the first chorus.... It's like magic when it goes to a half time feel and Alex arpeggiates the chords. One of my favorite rush moments ever.
Its one thing to say you dont like Rush...whatever...anyone who says that they suck has not a clue. This is a masterpiece among so many wonderful masterpieces they created. If you dont like Rush you just dont get it, and if you think they suck, then YOU are more likely to suck than they ever did! Rush was truly a gift from Canada for the rest of the world!
This song has always been a humble little masterpiece: Neil's carefully built drum part, the chords, nice lyrics, so deeply great and nice to listen to. Even how Alex gets the '5' in the last chord he holds to pop out a little bit (4:50) is just gorgeous. It is a crime against all that is good that Neil is gone and RUSH is no more...
Of all my happy Rush memories, this song holds a special place in my heart. The opening show of the SnA tour was in Atlanta, GA and I took my 8-year old son to his very first concert. To make the night even more special, we were privileged to hear the first time Entre Nous was ever played live. Memory of a lifetime!
There are those of us who believe listening and watching 2:45 to 3:45 of this video is akin to watching Michelangelo paint, and we would be correct. It is a true power trio at work, with that unbelievably crisp yet effortless looking bass solo (3:23 his fingers glide in an other-wordly way), with canon shot, dead center, precision beats, and Alex's guitar filling in with an almost impossibly rich, full and consistent sound.....masterpiece. Art of the highest form.
"We are secrets to each other, each one's life a novel no-one else has read." Back in 84 I was searching for something a little more profound than "let's get wasted and get laid, yeah yeah yeah". As soon as I heard this song, I knew I had found the mother lode. Thank you Professor, for everything.
olivia...I know you are proud of your dad! He was a humble genius and the GREATEST drummer ever! Every beat and cymbal crash as precise and accurate as it is on the original track. Flawless. I hope everyone reads all of Neil Pearts books. He was truly gifted. We love you Neil! I love you! wish I throw my arms around you! You did not deserve the cruelty life dished out to you. But you make it and did the best you could have which is a million times more than mere mortals would be able to. Thank You for the gift you gave us.
The depth of the catalog is mind blowing. They can pull out an obscure song like this and it's a masterpiece with a hook from Alex worthy of a top 10 hit.
Now even 40 years after I learned how to play Entre Nous on guitar, coming out of that bridge and back to verse still gives me chills. An absolute joy to cover!
P.S. You've helped remind me that nothing lasts forever; we need to live in the moment and appreciate greatness. Despite seeing you guys numerous times, tours, I viewed Rush as a constant that will remain. I am passed the point of feeling sadness, loss and even mourning. Now, I celebrate every note! Thank you again, Alex, Geddy and Neil. A million times over!
Hard to believe that this song only last live through half a tour in it's existence. I've always loved this song as it remains firmly in my 'Top 10' Rush tunes.
3:06 to 3:10...love this shot of all of them together. Reflects everything about this band, this song, and this song’s lyrics. RIP Neil and thank you Rush for speaking to all your fans through your music, lyrics, and performances.
One of Rush's few so ga without a "proper" guitar solo, yet I love what they worked out in its place. It's more of an orchestral summation of emotion (good name for a band?) than a solo full of notes. The song has been going on around and around in my head lately the past couple weeks and I think it's the next song on my list to learn. I always loved the chords, on the album it's about the closest that he comes to sounding like bells from a cathedral. Except for the distortion during the verse. So glad the brought this one up from the vault to play live.
When Rush returned from their 5 year hiatus, on every tour, they would play a song that hasn't been played live, Between Sun and Moon (Vapor Trails Tour), Presto(Time Machine Tour)& Losing It(R40) are examples.
The part of this performance that I love is right at the 3:00 mark, where Geddy and Alex come meet at center stage just in front of Neil and jam. It’s like they’re stating , this is what 3 guys can do! Amazing!

There's something very special about that Permanent Waves album. Its unbelievably great.
I try to connect LeStudio with this album and the other albums recorded there.
It’s a perfect record
I agree.
My all-time favorite album. All-time favorite album art. All-time favorite song is off this album (Jacob's Ladder). Yeah, it's kinda special to me!
Totally sophisticated! Their best album in my opinion
Rush 2.0 was such an amazing gift, and the technology that captured so much of it live means the world gets to appreciate it forever.
We will never hear these guys play all together again. That's just a sad thing.
Thankfully they gave us so many great decades. And we will always have these videos!
Everything has to end. Be thankful we had them
Oh damn CRP commented on a Rush song!
I wanted to thumbs down this, but not because I thought it was a bad comment. I just couldn't hit the icon. It's beyond sad. For many of us, a life-changing and truly generational (or dare I say a lifetime) band. For those of us who were lucky enough to see them live, we have been truly blessed. I still can't rationalize that Neil is no longer 'here'.
Sucks we will never hear them play again.
Entre Nous is such a beautiful song, both lyrically and musically. I always get goosebumps on my forearms when I hear it.
metoo gosebumps haha
especially from album version xD
These lyrics are a masterpiece from Neil Peart.
And yet they are elegant in their simplicity.
Alex' switch to acoustic on the chorus is beautiful.
That was incredible. Really difficult
You caught that too, huh😊?
What a freakin awesome song ... so underrated and rarely played.
Only made it through the first half of this tour. Fortunately, they played it when I saw them.
@@stevedrums1675 and they recorded it live! :(
Don't know if you realize it or not but this song was on the list of songs Rush had never played live before, this tour was the first and only time ever. Another song from Permanent Waves, Different Strings, is also on that list and with Neil's passing will sadly, always remain there. R.I.P. Professor.
Rest In Peace Neil, you will live on forever in our hearts
RIP Neil. Best drummer of all time. Love you guys.
The greatest band of all time!!
KenDyerJr Yep!
Yep
Love Rush!!❤️❤️❤️
I completely agree. And one of my pet peeves is when they say old are the greatest prog rock band ever. That just pisses me off cuz there's so much more than that there is the greatest band ever
Might very well be.
great song and album... Permanent Waves is without question on of the best!!!
One of, maybe their prettiest song ever.
Glad to see Alex on his Les Paul and not one of his boutique guitars.
what the hell is a boutique guitar?
He has returned to the Great Spirit, a Wise Man who said little but his lyrics and playing moved the Earth for decades. We will remember him and hope he is finally free from pain and tragedy.
Fernando. He said more than most of us ever can hope to with his incredible musicianship and phenomenal stories told in his lyrics. Rock on brother!
Said little? …. Man, he could talk without breathing
Permanent Waves. A masterpiece. Only wished they had played "Different Strings" Live. Entre Nous great classic.
Always loved this song! R.I.P Neil Peart!
Every single time these 3 guys performed on stage, they had the best seats in the house for EVERY Rush show! I think they planned it that way.
The Golden Child......WHAT A RUSH MAN!
That was fantastic! Their kind will never come again.
I really regret that I only saw these guys in concert one time.
I don't know what impresses me most, but Geddy Lee remembering all those intricate lyrics while multitasking his instruments is pretty awsome eh.
Everything they played live sounded great.
Not many bands can say that.
this is my favourite rush song from a lyrical perspective...Peart really distills a fundamental part of being human
No song captures the human spirit better than this song. My favorite lyrics of Neil's, too.
Should be compulsory listening for humanity.
This song, as well as Ghost of a Chance.
Jason Goodwin g’day Jason. I love ghost of a chance. Beautiful song. To cut a long story short, I only got into rush after Neil peart’s death, even though I’d been aware of them since the 80s. I finally got the last few discs a few weeks ago... roll the bones, counterparts and test for echo... as is the way of these rush albums, there is always one song that is the breakthrough song, and on RTB it’s ghost of a chance.

We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No-one else has read
Even joined in bonds of love
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads
We are planets to each other
Drifting in our orbits
To a brief eclipse
Each of us a world apart
Alone and yet together
Like two passing ships
Just between us
I think it's time for us to recognize
The differences we sometimes feared to show
Just between us
I think it's time for us to realize
The spaces in between
Leave room
For you and I to grow
We are strangers to each other
Full of sliding panels
An illusion show
Acting well-rehearsed routines
Or playing from the heart?
It's hard for one to know
Just between us
I think it's time for us to recognize
The differences we sometimes feared to show
Just between us
I think it's time for us to realize
The spaces in between
Leave room
For you and I to grow
We are islands to each other
Building hopeful bridges
On a troubled sea
Some are burned or swept away
Some we would not choose
But we're not always free
Just between us
I think it's time for us to recognize
The differences we sometimes feared to show
Just between us
I think it's time for us to realize
The spaces in between
Leave room
For you and I to grow
They couldn't have done a better job playing this live. All those other bands who play sloppy as hell live - let these guys show you how it should be done.
This was an especially superb live performance.
They take the time to do it right.
They never cheated their audience
I doubt they ever had an off night live. And even if they did by their standards I'm sure they were still great. Saw them 7 times ...always fantastic. I like Van Halen but I caught a show on the 1984 tour and they were incredibly sloppy and didn't seem to give a shit. Rush were never primadonnas.
This song is superb. and this guitarist is phenomenal! Alex, you are the best guitarist in the world
I can never get enough of this song. One of my favorites.
Eric Robbins me2 :)
LudwigSC93 in fact, the whole second side of permanent waves is my favorite Rush :-)
I was 12 years young when Permanent Waves dropped and found my odd introverted eccentric self aligned into a kindred spirit with Rush. My mind blown and intellect invaded with such ethereal musicianship and elevated lyricism. Entre Nous is just one of those dainty prophetic tunes that echoes of passerby wisdom and rich humanism that is truly timeless in its existence. I have a Rush shaped hole in my heart since their retirement.
Saw them 5 times live
That little smile that Geddy gives Alex at 3:01 before the start of Alex's solo and the video of the three of them together at 3:07 brings out some emotion knowing this will never happen again
Yeah, there are lots of those moments in videos of them playing that convey enjoyment, connection and affection between the three of them. Wonderful to see....
This one and The Pass favorite Rush songs,
Approaching the 3 minute mark the knowing looks between Alex and Geddy are beyond priceless... Niel just doing his thing- letting Ged sing his lyrics- Beautiful...
i can't get over how good Geddy's voice is in this
R.I.P. Neil.
My number one all time favorite band.
😭
THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME.
Saw the Permanent Waves tour in Providence,RI 1980 May 16......after that there were no other bands for me.....
That's awesome my first concert ever was Moving Pictures May 24 Providence RI
Like all the Rush fans.. I am devastated.. I am looking to a higher power.. Like a drummer god.. Bless him..
When that second verse starts after the first chorus.... It's like magic when it goes to a half time feel and Alex arpeggiates the chords. One of my favorite rush moments ever.
For me, this is my "stairway"
Thank you Neil, Geddy, and Alex for beautiful gift you have giving my ears for 40 years.💝🎵👍🎶💔
Geddy`s voice sounds pretty much perfect in this performance!
If your 12 years old
Yes agreed he does sound quite good. Although he’s aged a bit, the song fits his range. A real sweet rendition of the song overall.
@@glennpowell1400 sorry you're only 12 years old
His aging voice fits the song perfectly, i feel the same way about Mystic Rhythms on R30.
Perfect for his range.
Its one thing to say you dont like Rush...whatever...anyone who says that they suck has not a clue. This is a masterpiece among so many wonderful masterpieces they created. If you dont like Rush you just dont get it, and if you think they suck, then YOU are more likely to suck than they ever did! Rush was truly a gift from Canada for the rest of the world!
The best rock band ever
NEVER a bad song!!

Even how Alex gets the '5' in the last chord he holds to pop out a little bit (4:50) is just gorgeous. It is a crime against all that is good that Neil is gone and RUSH is no more...
This is as close as it gets to a Canadian Guy-Cry moment. Such a fantastic heart-felt power-trio song.
greatest band ever, hands down
Of all my happy Rush memories, this song holds a special place in my heart. The opening show of the SnA tour was in Atlanta, GA and I took my 8-year old son to his very first concert. To make the night even more special, we were privileged to hear the first time Entre Nous was ever played live. Memory of a lifetime!
...and I guess that Your son understand now what is Real Music...
Oh, I made sure to expose him to GOOD music since he was a wee lad. He has an open mind and open heart!!
The essence of the rock power trio ! No frills, everything on the right place, skills, melody, class.
There are those of us who believe listening and watching 2:45 to 3:45 of this video is akin to watching Michelangelo paint, and we would be correct. It is a true power trio at work, with that unbelievably crisp yet effortless looking bass solo (3:23 his fingers glide in an other-wordly way), with canon shot, dead center, precision beats, and Alex's guitar filling in with an almost impossibly rich, full and consistent sound.....masterpiece. Art of the highest form.
+Matthew Hills i was watching over and over getting tingling feeling and read your comment after thinking about the same....
No doubt this is on the level of an artist list Michelangelo.....Rush is other worldly as are the great painters, sculptors, etc.
what freaks me out about that segment is that it does not appear to be all that musically complex, but it never gets old (as implied by spacsaw)
@@jimbosc No! No argument but these guys aren't otherworldly! We belong on Earth!!!!!
Yes!!!
Rush the best band in the universe period
When people hear the word Canada, I hope that that three gentlemen together on stage is the first image that comes to mind.
Rest in Peace Professor! WE ALL LOVED YOU>
God i miss this band.
In my opinion some of the best lyrics neil ever wrote...just Brilliant!
This sounds so damn CRISP!
Such a priceless treasure. One of the finest performances in the catalog.
Rest in power Professor 😢❤️😢
"We are secrets to each other, each one's life a novel no-one else has read."
Back in 84 I was searching for something a little more profound than "let's get wasted and get laid, yeah yeah yeah". As soon as I heard this song, I knew I had found the mother lode. Thank you Professor, for everything.
this has got to be the greatest song that was never hit
it is just brilliant
Such a great song❤❤❤
Such joyful nostalgia
These lyrics are really deep and reflective. Neil had a lot of questions about life. I hope he found his answers.
Alex' guitar so crunchy and biting in this performance, love it
These guys are just so freaking rad!!! The goat!!
Amazing watching Alex make such effortless and super fast shifts between acoustic and electric.
what a band !
Rush is a gift for the music.
will there ever be another band so passionate ? so real ?
Would LOVED to have gotten Different Strings live before they sailed off into the sunset.
What a fantastic live rendition of a rush classic.
What a perfectly balanced band. Tremendous lyric. An anthem for humanity.
Absolutely KILLER! I'm so lucky to have seen them live numerous times.
'Permanent Waves' :) The first album released in the 1980's! No lie! RUSH, Quality Rock for Choosy Listeners!!
olivia...I know you are proud of your dad! He was a humble genius and the GREATEST drummer ever! Every beat and cymbal crash as precise and accurate as it is on the original track. Flawless. I hope everyone reads all of Neil Pearts books. He was truly gifted. We love you Neil! I love you! wish I throw my arms around you! You did not deserve the cruelty life dished out to you.

One of my favourite Rush songs. So full of insight, wisdom and emotion.
Rush was awesome
Man RUSH put it all on the line those last tours. I think they knew time was fleeing.
Sometimes I can listen to Rush, sometimes it still hurts too much.
What a fucking treat this was.
Great music! Great lyric! Great musicians!!!! The best Band of the World!!!! Forever!!!!
One of my favorites.
incredible incredible incredible ...........
Amazing band! That bass line at the chorus gets me all the time love it!
Yeah, the bass line is what carries this song.
The depth of the catalog is mind blowing. They can pull out an obscure song like this and it's a masterpiece with a hook from Alex worthy of a top 10 hit.
God I miss these guys......
Rush is awesome
Waves was my first concert . Dallas Texas 1981 7.50 !
the best band ever.......true music legends....love em
Lifeson . The master chord maker !!
Now even 40 years after I learned how to play Entre Nous on guitar, coming out of that bridge and back to verse still gives me chills. An absolute joy to cover!
GODS
I don't know why, but this song always gets me! Thank you for the memories. I miss you all (performing live) dearly!
P.S. You've helped remind me that nothing lasts forever; we need to live in the moment and appreciate greatness. Despite seeing you guys numerous times, tours, I viewed Rush as a constant that will remain. I am passed the point of feeling sadness, loss and even mourning. Now, I celebrate every note! Thank you again, Alex, Geddy and Neil. A million times over!
Hard to believe that this song only last live through half a tour in it's existence. I've always loved this song as it remains firmly in my 'Top 10' Rush tunes.
The only live version ever recorded
one of the best love songs ever written. The lyrics can compete with those of The Bard.
MUSICAL, PASSIONATE LOVE!!!!!!!
Sounds just like the record
3:06 to 3:10...love this shot of all of them together. Reflects everything about this band, this song, and this song’s lyrics. RIP Neil and thank you Rush for speaking to all your fans through your music, lyrics, and performances.
One of Rush's few so ga without a "proper" guitar solo, yet I love what they worked out in its place. It's more of an orchestral summation of emotion (good name for a band?) than a solo full of notes.
The song has been going on around and around in my head lately the past couple weeks and I think it's the next song on my list to learn. I always loved the chords, on the album it's about the closest that he comes to sounding like bells from a cathedral. Except for the distortion during the verse. So glad the brought this one up from the vault to play live.
Lyrically one of my favorites....
What a tune
When Rush returned from their 5 year hiatus, on every tour, they would play a song that hasn't been played live, Between Sun and Moon (Vapor Trails Tour), Presto(Time Machine Tour)& Losing It(R40) are examples.
Fuck what a band ....Love you Rush......love you Neil. RIP ...the Professor
The part of this performance that I love is right at the 3:00 mark, where Geddy and Alex come meet at center stage just in front of Neil and jam. It’s like they’re stating , this is what 3 guys can do! Amazing!
