For us RUSH fans that did not "drop" them in the 80's when they quit doing 10-20 minute prog epics, this album was mind blowing. Power Windows was my first chance to see them live and we sat in line all night to get seats in the tenth row center stage. like many great artists in human history RUSH are more appreciated today then they were when they were making this great music. A hundred years from now people will still be listening to RUSH unlike most of the "popular" acts of our time. 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Power Windows, Hold your Fire and Presto have got to go up on people's list of favourite! Seriously, the song writing, musical composition, lyrics and arrangements are at their best on those records. I do love some of the later albums like ''Vapour Trails'' who also got a bad reputation but those 3 are something else completely. It's the most unique Rush! No other music even sounds like this.... Pure Rush. It's too bad the purists don't see the magic in those 3 albums.
@@jacquesjrviens3384 Finally, a person I agree with 100% on the choice of top Rush albums! All Rush music was great when you lined them up with other bands in any era, but when you compare Rush, with themselves, these albums stand out most of all.
I'm a huge Rush fan, and have been since '79, but imo this is where they peaked! The follow up 'Hold Your Fire' was the first album that didn't do it for me, and after that it was just a series of average to below average releases. You could never knock the musical prowess on the later albums, but something was lost that is difficult to explain! 'Roll The Bones' was a slight return to form, but 'Counterparts' was lacking and 'Test For Echo' is undoubtedly their nadir. The next century gave us the unremarkable 'Vapour Trails', the more of the same 'Snakes And Arrows', and then thankfully a real return to form with their Swansong, 'Clockwork Angels'! I know this may come across as someone who can take or leave Rush, but i own all of these albums, and have seen them 17 times between '80 and '2007, so i stuck with them like a true fan would! I believe that when every Rush fan goes to his collection, to pull out his favourite, it is highly unlikely it will be anything post '85. There's bound to be exceptions, but generally speaking i believe this to be the case!
@@surfeit5910 Thank you for being the first to agree with me on this. I love everything from 1980 to 89. To me that is my favourite period. Again I like it all but if I had to keep only 1 decade of Rush, clearly that would be my choice.
@@Katehowe3010 My favorite Rush record is actually Presto, because I consider it to be Neil's lyrical peak, with Power Windows as the musical peak. Test for Echo absolutely was the nadir though. "Virtuality" is a top-5-of-all-time Alex Lifeson riff ruined by arguably the worst lyrics Neil ever wrote.
Yeah, and Presto has some great guitar work in there as well. PW, HYF, Presto, were some great albums for Alex. Imo, the synth era, made Alex a better guitarist.
Yes finally a reaction to my favorite Rush song on my favorite Rush album. "So much poison in power the principles get left out so much mind on the matter the spirit gets forgotten about". Alex's solo outstanding. Rush is pure genius. Thank you Tone Bone. "Far Cry" on Snakes and Arrows album. You'll love that one.
Power Windows, you just confirmed it, is so good. I never heard a sound like this ever. It is so rhythmically, melodious, tempo, perfect bass and drums...and the guitar OMG!!!!I think I rate this album at no 1 from Rush despite their all other great albums
This album is a masterpiece! I have listened to Power Window probably a million plus times, and it still brings me joy every time I listen to it. I was lucky to see this tour live in Seattle on May 21, 1986. The boys played ever song from the album except emotion detector. Geddy’s voice and bass sound are my favorite work from him. Marathon and Grand Designs are impeccable pieces of songwriting. ToneBone is correct when he says Rush is their own genre.
Excellent reaction videos Man ! And the fact that you do lyric videos is essential - especially with Rush songs as you're well aware. Anyway really enjoy it keep it up! thank you
Rush, you move me, you move me, with your buildings and your eyes, autumn woods and winter skies... I will never tire of this band and their warmth, humble intelligence and musical and lyrical curiosity. Wow.
It's an odd song that works really well. "Some world views are spacious, and some are merely spaced." What great lyrics! It was a pleasure the few times they performed this live.
This whole album takes me back to 1985-1986 school semester. The album/cassette came out in the 1st semester, and I was in the 10th grade, at military school, at Marion Military Institute, in Marion, Alabama. For the weekends, cadets could drive home if they lived close enough. Mark Lacky, Luis Armando Salaveria, Sean Hales and myself had homes in the same area of Mississippi. "Power Windows" was in the cassette deck for the Friday evening drive back home, and for the drive back, Sunday afternoon.
Love love love this song... in my top ten A song that opened my eyes to many experiences in my life that resonated with me at that time. Such a catchy song...
A fan of Rush throughout their changes of style etc I love every album. Neil's lyrics always take me on a trip and the music never fails to blow me away!!
Hi Mr ToneBone! It's never too late to find something great. This album wasn't appreciated at the time... I mean in general, but to me it was my first RUSH album and from that moment I knew I had found something special. I live in Finland but we had so many RUSH fans that they came here and ofc I went to see them. The strange thing with their music is: It is complex but still often the lyrics are about life in general.
Every solo on Power Windows is amazing. Alex was on FIRE from ‘81 to ‘89. People just want to whine about keyboards while Alex was tearing up the frets. And in an era with so much cheap ass guitar playing where solos were stitched together from multiple takes in the studio. (Yeah, I’m looking at you Eddie.)
I was a huge Permanent Waves, Signals and GUP fan. In years since, Power Windows has evolved as a favorite. I thought at the time it was drenched in too much synth. But as I listen to it more, I hear some outstanding Lifeson licks.
First!! Love your Rush reactions as usual my friend. The next album you should check out is Clockwork Angels, their final album and it’s the perfect swan song. If you do, make sure you listen to the songs in order, it’s a concept album.
And their final song ever, was..."the garden" As Neil's final lyrical attribute to the fans, and as he explains in interviews, .." treat life as if it was a garden, with gentle care and love, and it will prosper"
I just don't get why people don't talk much about this song and the fact that it has one of the fucking COOLEST sequencer tracks OF ALL TIME. LUSH and gorgeous and FAST and virtuosic, I mean what else do you want??
Hey there! I really enjoy watching your reactions!! You seem to absolutely like and respect therse three amazing musicians and human beings!!! Kudos to you!!! Here´s a list of some tracks you might consider reacting to: 1.- A farewell to Kings. 2.- Freeze. 3.- Malignant Narcissism/Hope. 4.- Driven. 5.- Test for Echo. 6.- BU2B. 7.- The Analog Kid. 8.- Ghost of a Chance. 9.- Stick it out. 10.- Cut to the Chase. 11.- Between Sun and moon. 12.- Alien Shore. 13.- Double agent. 14.- The Main Monkey Business. 15.- Caravan. 16.- Clockwork Angels. 17.- Headlong Flight. Al the best!!!
I didn't own power windows until 1988 and listened to it constantly.The song Grand designs i didn't actually "hear" until 1995.There is just so much going on its hard to even process.
The song is subjectivity about the sin of being caught up in mainstream production that can rob you of your sense of autonomy or individuality. The whole album is objectively about the pro’s/con’s of having power in the world. Beyond the message, PWs is a masterpiece that was written right at the aggregate physical/mental peak of their lives and most of the album is upbeat, fast, powerful, mid-80s style production/arrangements, and intrinsically exuberant sound coming from each instrument... - Geddy’s best vocal sound - Geddy’s incredible sound of his new Wal bass - it makes the entire album - Geddy’s moog pedals are incredible on every song, compliments every arrangement/keys - Neil’s lyrics easily his best (of the best) you can tell how much they matured - Alex takes on a new mixture of power chord horn blasts and alternating arpeggios throughout the album with a guitar that sounds like he plugged it right into the amp without any effects whatsoever - really interesting. Everyone brought their A game but just as important, every song has a catchy/inviting melody you can listen to over and over - learning and hearing something new on each listen! Simply the best!
Geddy was taking vocal lessons following removal of a node afterthe Grace Under Pressure tour. I think the string of albums from Signals through Counterparts are some of Geddy’s best as a true vocalist.
This tour was a fun one to see, saw them in Dallas and Houston in 2 days! The Presto tour was just epic with GIANT Rabbits in top hats on stage...it was so funny and so damn cool!
IDK of anyone else who has reacted to this Rush tune. The last time I saw Rush live was during the Clockwork Angels Tour. In Chicago, September, 2012 and again in Milwaukee, June, 2013 (4th row center, with my son). They performed half of Power Windows. This song, "Grand Designs," along with "Manhattan Project," "Territories" and "Middletown Dreams." I'm glad you reacted to those 4 and the other 4 as well. I saw Rush 8 times (first in 1981) and the only song off PW they didn't perform was "Emotion Detector." Keep up the Rush reactions. That's why I subscribed. I've been an avid fan since 1975 at age 16, in between the releases of FBN and COS. They are my #1, followed by Yes and The Moody Blues. ✌
@@winstonlane708 My name is Justine...there's an "e" after the "n." Justin is a man's name, as in Justin Hayward of the awesome Moody Blues. I started with Rush close to the earliest possible outside of the Toronto area. I'm from Milwaukee, which is definitely a Rush town! Ty for the shout-out though! 😊✌
@@philproffitt8363 Who said anything about skipping over Emotion Detector? I simply made mention that it is the only song off PW that I personally had not seen performed live. I have every Rush album and DVD/Blu-ray released in the US, including the Clockwork Angels limited edition, 6-disc set. I've loved this band for 45+ years!! 💜💜💜
Geddy does more than sing and play bass, live on stage he also use a set of bass pedals(like an organ) and a synth. I'm quite convinced that if he could levitate, he would find something else to play with is last foot. 😜
Can't remember if you did Subdivisions yet, but if you haven't you need to check it out, it will bring the 80s back and remind you of those mall trips and school hallways
Nobodys hero from counterparts is one of the greatest songs ever made; Neil lyrics are so emotional, as a gay I feel finally a straight guy have something great to say
That is such a myth. Just listen to the songs. Much of Power Windows, Grace Under Pressure and Hold Your Fire have some of Alex’s best work, especially on the solos.

In 1974 RUSH was "discovered" in America when they played at the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio in August 1974. This is the "Famous" concert that launched RUSH's career. Neil Peart has just replaced John Rutsey in July and less than a month later they had this historically significant concert in support of their album. The music director of radio station WMMS, Donna Halper, has been credited to "discovering" RUSH in the US. She had been given a copy of RUSH's 1st album, self titled RUSH. And felt that the song WORKING MAN would relate to the blue collar workers of Cleveland. She also liked the song, HERE AGAIN. So when the band played their gig, the radio station got behind the band and gave them plenty of airplay, then broadcast the concert and recorded their performance on August 24th, 1974. The radio station then rebroadcast the concert in December of 1974. And the rest is history.
Listen bud.. You have to start looking at some live versions.. You're missing out... Trust me.. Live version you must do Xanadu and red barchetta.. Exit stage left version Natural science.. LA villa strangiato, the pass Rush in Rio version Witch hunt and vital signs . Grace under pressure live version Lyrics must be at hand.. You'll thank me later
Awesome..from moving picture live versions must Red barchetta.. Exit stage left version Witch hunt and vital signs.. Grace under pressure live version Yyz.. Rush in Rio version The rest.. Studio version... You'll love camera eye studio.. Epic stuff enjoy And bring those lyrics. FYI witch hunt is what made me a rush fan.. Epic lyrics ring true 40 years later
Try " where's my Thing" by Rush- holy shit is all I can really say. Good drum solo too if you get the live one.th-cam.com/video/AKIc20Liw3c/w-d-xo.html

RUSH
Autotune / pitch correction wasn't a thing back then. This is real singing!
Power Windows, you just confirmed it, is so good. I never heard a sound like this ever. It is so rhythmically, melodious, tempo, perfect bass and drums...and the guitar OMG!!!!I think I rate this album at no 1 from Rush despite their all other great albums
One of my all time favorite Rush tunes. Just so upbeat and energetic. Crisp and tight.
This album is a masterpiece! I have listened to Power Window probably a million plus times, and it still brings me joy every time I listen to it.

There's an incredible amount of truth dropped in this song. It's very applicable to what's happening in the world right now.
I agree. The lyrical content of this album is timeless.
As with most of the album, I love Power Windows
Lol, putting on the Drakkar and hitting the mall. I was right there with you, wow the memories!
Excellent reaction videos Man ! And the fact that you do lyric videos is essential - especially with Rush songs as you're well aware.
Anyway really enjoy it keep it up! thank you
Rush, you move me, you move me, with your buildings and your eyes, autumn woods and winter skies... I will never tire of this band and their warmth, humble intelligence and musical and lyrical curiosity. Wow.
It's an odd song that works really well. "Some world views are spacious, and some are merely spaced." What great lyrics! It was a pleasure the few times they performed this live.
PWs is absolute perfection - greatest album of all-time!!!
Amazing tune. Very few TH-camrs react to this one. Bravo!
Funny how all reaction video's go back over the solo again, as its sick....go Alex. This and emotion detector guitar work is exceptional.
This is in my top 5 all-time Rush faves.
Top 5 Alex solo

Such a great tune (often forgotten because of The Big money, or Marathon, etc). Great reaction !!!
Love love love this song... in my top ten

Such a catchy song...
A fan of Rush throughout their changes of style etc I love every album. Neil's lyrics always take me on a trip and the music never fails to blow me away!!
Obra maestra suprema. Uno de los mejores discos que he escuchado en mi vida.
probably 8 years since I last heard that song on Clockwork
Angels tour, sounds better as years go by

One of my favourite Alex solos. Great reaction.
Every solo on Power Windows is amazing. Alex was on FIRE from ‘81 to ‘89. People just want to whine about keyboards while Alex was tearing up the frets. And in an era with so much cheap ass guitar playing where solos were stitched together from multiple takes in the studio. (Yeah, I’m looking at you Eddie.)

This and "Emotion Detector" my fav two songs from this album. First Rush-album I bought, instantly hooked. Master musicians. Heroes.
First!! Love your Rush reactions as usual my friend. The next album you should check out is Clockwork Angels, their final album and it’s the perfect swan song. If you do, make sure you listen to the songs in order, it’s a concept album.
Agreed 100%!
And their final song ever, was..."the garden"
As Neil's final lyrical attribute to the fans, and as he explains in interviews, .." treat life as if it was a garden, with gentle care and love, and it will prosper"
yesss!!!

The solo here just continus in the song !!!
Love your videos. Power Windows is the perfect album for these times. Cheers 🍻
by FAR Geddy's best vocal performance is on this particular album. This is easily in my top 2 or 3 Rush albums. Great reaction!
I read in an interview that the Geddy/Neil part during the fadeout was improvised during the recording and they were so together that they kept it
Hey there! I really enjoy watching your reactions!! You seem to absolutely like and respect therse three amazing musicians and human beings!!! Kudos to you!!! Here´s a list of some tracks you might consider reacting to:
1.- A farewell to Kings.
2.- Freeze.
3.- Malignant Narcissism/Hope.
4.- Driven.
5.- Test for Echo.
6.- BU2B.
7.- The Analog Kid.
8.- Ghost of a Chance.
9.- Stick it out.
10.- Cut to the Chase.
11.- Between Sun and moon.
12.- Alien Shore.
13.- Double agent.
14.- The Main Monkey Business.
15.- Caravan.
16.- Clockwork Angels.
17.- Headlong Flight.
Al the best!!!
Thank you for the Rush guide. I haven't heard most of these so I am sure I will be reacting to them! Cheers!

- Geddy’s incredible sound of his new Wal bass - it makes the entire album
- Geddy’s moog pedals are incredible on every song, compliments every arrangement/keys
- Neil’s lyrics easily his best (of the best) you can tell how much they matured
- Alex takes on a new mixture of power chord horn blasts and alternating arpeggios throughout the album with a guitar that sounds like he plugged it right into the amp without any effects whatsoever - really interesting.

Geddy was taking vocal lessons following removal of a node afterthe Grace Under Pressure tour. I think the string of albums from Signals through Counterparts are some of Geddy’s best as a true vocalist.
I always thought his voice changed between Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows. Very interesting.
Lead Them 🪓 🎸
Beat Em 🥁🥁
Slap That 🎸🎹🎤

- Comes up with all the melodies
Greatest artist of all-time!!!
This band is next level
I'm born the same year. Thanks to a buddy's older brother I've been a fan since middle school.
So the keyboard parts were played by Andy Richards, a member of the Strawbs, brought in by the band for adding textures to the overall sound.
Can't remember if you did Subdivisions yet, but if you haven't you need to check it out, it will bring the 80s back and remind you of those mall trips and school hallways
PW album was difficult to realised to Rush, but is great era.. My fav era was since aftk to gup albums.
🔥My reaction to "losing it" by Rush was blocked but is posted on my Instagram here --- @tonebonetunes
Great reaction! You should just do the whole album from start to finish, awesome album, you'll be impressed
Signals. Analog Kid.
....some world-views are spacious...some are merely space...
There is so much Truth in this entire album....
Nobodys hero from counterparts is one of the greatest songs ever made; Neil lyrics are so emotional, as a gay I feel finally a straight guy have something great to say
Rush son bon dans leur évolution, ils se poussent constamment! Merci, pas une chanson revue souvent...
If you want lyrical genius, try Anagram (for mongo). Diffenately a lyrical video, not an single English professor will disagree.
Gene Simmons asked the question, “what is Rush?” Answer: “It’s Rush”. So yes, it can be said that the genre is “Rush”.
Yeah, apparently Alex's guitar took a back seat during this period......
That is such a myth. Just listen to the songs. Much of Power Windows, Grace Under Pressure and Hold Your Fire have some of Alex’s best work, especially on the solos.
Mystic Rhythms is the last track on Power Windows
one of my favorite songs of all time.
the real question is, when are the 2112 and Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres reactions coming? 🤔
Greetings from New Brunswick Canada from a 58 yr old RUSH Fan. Your song choices are interesting as they show when whomever is giving you the suggestions got into RUSH themselves. If you'd let an older fan take you on a journey, I'll take you back to their roots, when I was 13.

Peace out and RUSH on my new musical friend. I did subscribe to your channel :)
In 1974 RUSH was "discovered" in America when they played at the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio in August 1974. This is the "Famous" concert that launched RUSH's career. Neil Peart has just replaced John Rutsey in July and less than a month later they had this historically significant concert in support of their album. The music director of radio station WMMS, Donna Halper, has been credited to "discovering" RUSH in the US. She had been given a copy of RUSH's 1st album, self titled RUSH. And felt that the song WORKING MAN would relate to the blue collar workers of Cleveland. She also liked the song, HERE AGAIN. So when the band played their gig, the radio station got behind the band and gave them plenty of airplay, then broadcast the concert and recorded their performance on August 24th, 1974. The radio station then rebroadcast the concert in December of 1974. And the rest is history.
Right there xD
