Geddy plays keyboards with his feet while on the bass :D
Amazing! We'll have to check out some live videos - any suggestions?
@@RDMusicExchange check out Where’s my Thing?(Here it is) or Working Man from Cleveland 🔥👍🤘🏻🎧
@@RDMusicExchange also check Best Intro Ever
Xanadu from the same album is great video to watch them “do it live”, the multitasking is off the charts!
Cool - I look forward to that!
ABSOLUTELY! Get on it lol.. th-cam.com/video/VuHS-gjMiVw/w-d-xo.html
@@BrakRulesAll Or the remastered version... th-cam.com/video/2byjJkN_nVY/w-d-xo.html
So true! One of their top 5 best. Plus, the percussionist work by Neil in that "Exit Stage Left" show playing Xanadu, is so strong in painting an atmosphere.
Some of Rush’s more mainstream songs like Limelight and Spirit of Radio I think maybe you’d enjoy, but some of their more progressive stuff to showcase their musicianship like Xanadu and La Villa Strangiato are amazing!
Thanks for the suggestions and for watching!
Both Geddy and Alex used Taurus pedals by Moog. Basically like a set of synth organ pedals. When Geddy was playing bass, he would add synth tones with the pedals, and when playing they keys he would use the pedals for bass tones. Check out the live performance of Xanadu from Exit Stage Left - the multi-tasking is insane. Geddy plays bass, 12-string guitar, keys, and pedals, and that’s the singer! They prided themselves on being able to perform their music with just the three of them. Cheers!
I look forward to it!
Cheers, and thanks for watching!
I'm pretty sure Geddy's double neck on Xanadu consisted of a bass (of course!) and a six string guitar. The only time he plays the six string is at the end of the song. It's a shame that the Exit Stage Left concert video doesn't do a good job of showing what Geddy is doing in this part of the song when he has switched to the guitar. Add to that the pity that it doesn't much show what either Geddy or Alex are playing with their feet since they are playing some difficult synth parts (especially Geddy) with their feet.
@@schafn Geddy used the 12-string version. Look up Rickenbacker 4080/12, and you find plenty of images of Geddy. It always fooled me because I could only see six tuning pegs, but come to find out the other six protrude rearward from the head! Cheers!
@@schafn I also agree it’s sad they don’t show Geddy better since he is actually playing the lead over Alex’s arpeggios at the very end.
@@matthewhoag2609 Thanks man! I've been listening to this song and watching the ESL video for years and never picked up that he was playing a 12 string! I've also been to concerts (pretty much every tour from Grace Under Pressure to R40) where I was sometimes relatively close to Geddy and never noticed that the lower neck was a 12 string. Now that I have been educated I can hear it in the song. There is also a video on TH-cam by 66TJP where Mr. TJP plays Xanadu on a 4080/12 and you can really hear the 12 string sound.
Cheers!
No other people on stage. Keyboards on pedals while playing base and vice versa.
Awesome - thanks for letting us me, and for watching!
You need Working Man live in Cleveland 2010. You will think twice about Alex Lifeson in that one and Xanadu live Exit Stage Left 1981 off the same as Jacob's Ladder. The man can play Geddy, and Neil is known more , so then Alex, I think he is underrated. You guys will love these ones. The musicianship is off the charts. Great reaction stay safe
Awesome - thanks for the suggestions and for watching!
164 to choose from
Geddy Lee is playing the bass and using foot pedals for those synth notes. Conversely, when there's a simple bass line, he uses Taurus bass pedals with his feet while playing the keyboards with his hands (and singing). Yes, really. NOTE: there are times where Alex Lifeson is doing the synthesizer pedals (see "La Villa Strangiato") while Geddy is busy doing his multiple tasks, or Neil triggers a synth element from the electronic portion of his drum kit.
I look forward to seeing that!
Thanks for watching!
I agree with Steve and his suggestions. You won't be disappointed. Any Rush reactions you do I'll be watching. Thank you for your reaction
Thanks!
While this is one of my favorites from the band, it’s maybe not the best pick for staring the journey. What you have is three incredibly talented players and writers who are even better than the sum of their parts. You should take this journey, but perhaps start with some of their more radio friendly cuts. Tom Sawyer, Limelight, The Spirit Of Radio, Freewill, The Trees, Closer To The Heart,Subdivisions, The Big Money, Distant Early Warning. Oh and be sure to key on the lyrics because they are some of the best and most thought provoking youlll find in all of music. Enjoy.
Thanks for the suggestions and for watching!
One one of my favorites. Great reaction. Geddy Lee used base pedals to do the bass work when he needed to play keyboard parts. There are some live performances you can watch where he is doing this and singing playing base and using pedals for synthesizer keys as well. Alex Lifeson also had pedals for (synthesizer) keys, and guitar effects.
Thanks for the info and for watching!
My dad has us counting one measure of 5 and one of 6 by like 2-3 years old in a dodge van while out hanging out camping and hiking and collecting lizards in the 90s. He taught me so much theory without even trying.
One of my favorite songs and live recording of that song too! Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
spirit of radio,subdivisions,working man
Thanks for the suggestions and for watching!
Guitarist Alex Lifeson also has some bass pedals as part of his rig.
I'm looking forward to seeing some videos to check it all out!
Cheers
A guy with a King Crimson T-shirt is quiiiite reliable, KG, pure class music
During that particular section, Geddy Lee was playing bass and keyboards with his feet for the keyboard drones. He has regular keyboards set up and keyboard pedals for his feet. Haha, and sings
Crazy!
Poor Alex never gets love lol!
I've always been a Neil Peart fan, but once you see Geddy singing, playing the bass, keyboards and Taurus pedals throughout a song is rather jaw dropping.
It's been done quite a bit, but to see their talent level I would recommend
YYZ live in Rio
Working Man live in Cleveland
Xanadu live from Exit Stage Left.
Cool reaction, but hard to hear the song.
Thanks and take care ✌
We're looking forward to seeing a live video next time.
Sorry of the song audio was a bit low, we'll get that sorted.
Thanks for watching!
Poor Alex… 😢
But other guitarist love him… so there’s that… 🤘😉
You're right, Geddy plays the keys (feet )and the bass ...and sings at the same time
Pretty amazing!
Thanks for watching!
Just FYI, this release of album actually predated Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Think thunderstorm when listening to this song. Some keyboard sounds are set to foot pedals. So, Geddy plays both. Alex has pedals as well for certain songs.
Cool!
Thanks for watching!
The trio of professors three of the most talented human beings on earth The garden is my favorite rest song.
Thanks - we'll check it out!
Thanks for watching!
@@RDMusicExchange very deep meanings when you read the lyrics you understand what it's about
I am a massive Rush fan and really enjoyed this video great reaction subscribed cheers 🍺🍺🍺🍺
The thing with Rush be ready for the unexpected they can not be pigeonholed, Rush inducted Yes into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, Geddy got to play bass with Yes on Roundabout
Yes, I've seen that - very cool!
Rush Lyrics, and reaction video that realize the greatness of this band, one we will see. These songs, are true RUSH; enjoy. And here’s my reaction comment.
How to tell a true RUSH fan from a wanna be? If your first song selection is comprised of and off their Permanent Waves album; both are Jacobs Ladder 'and' Natural Science. If so, reward yourself for being a true bad ass.
Marty
If the missus likes the Tracey Chapman genre more, you Might try a simpler, more "sensitive" Rush tune like:
Bravado,
The Garden,
Losing It,
Different Strings,
Entre Nous,
And the short instrumental, Hope.
Or something "inbetween" harder / softer
Closer to the Heart, Subdivisions, Analog Kid, Cinderella Man, Available Light, Vital Signs, The Pass. Ect, ect
Thanks for the suggestions!
Keyboards and bass simultaneously played by (singer, bassist, keyboardist, composer) Geddy Lee, care of all four limbs of the human body! Not two different players! Lee plays bass while simultaneously playing Moog Taurus foot pedals (like playing piano and accompanying foot pedals to sustain, dampen notes, etc.). These guys were a three-piece that did it all on their own using everything at their disposal both physically and technologically, all the way through their 40-year career! LL
Thanks! I look forward to watching them in action next time!
Thanks for watching!
Saw Rush 18 times !!!! Hey , try the song Spirit of Radio from the Maple Leaf Gardens concert , 1984 .
It's now on the list!
Thanks for watching!
hard to fathom why but Alex Lifeson has been so underrated as a guitar player although he is a master at his craft like the other two members of RUSH. Has Eddie van halen ever commented on alex lifeson or rush?
✓ Yes, In a magazine interview, he was asked, "how does it feel to be the greatest guitar player ever?", He said, "I don't know, ask Alex Lifeson".
I like what I've heard so far!
The time signature changes constantly during this track. The point where you said you thought it was in 7/8, the count changes literally every bar. The count is 6/8 then 7/8 alternating.
Ok, cool, so I wasn't far off later on when I said it might have been in 13. Good to know!
Thanks for watching!
Yes, you were right with 13/8 in that middle section 🙂👍 I count it as 6/8 plus 7/8 myself 🙂
And I've always found it mind-blowing how guitar and drums keep the alternating 5/4 and 6/4 rhythms going while Geddy's vocals and keys are in straight 4/4 over the top, with the emphasis on certain syllables perfectly matching the accents of the beat! How did they come up with stuff like that?! 😅
When Geddy is playing bass, he plays synth with foot pedals.
Very cool!
Thanks for watching!
The answer is…. Alex and Geddy both play keyboards with their feet!When Geddys playing keys with his hands, either him or Alex are playing bass pedals! That’s how 3 guys sound so BIG! You gotta watch them live to appreciate the brilliance!! There a lot out there she might like, try Spirit of Radio - (Live… you have to see them live) and for you… “Xanadu - (Live Exit Stage Left) If that doesn’t send you down the RUSH rabbit hole where SO much genius awaits…. Well… I’ll be a monkey’s uncle!! Be well and God Bless… from Texas!! #RUSHFAMILY
Thanks Julie - yes, after reading through the comments, I'm very keen to see some live footage of the band! (The test will be holding off until we do our next RUSH episode!)
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
Cheers!
Eddie Van Halen was once asked how it feels to be considered the best rock guitarist, he actually said ask Alex Lifeson!😳😉👍
Cool!
Thanks for watching!
@@RDMusicExchange Get that??? Watch Lavilla straingiato live!
I'd like to add my vote for Xanadu from Exit Stage Left; for more excellent examples of Alex's guitar skills, I recommend Limelight and Red Barchetta, also from Exit Stage Left.
🎤 🎸 🥁 🎸 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thanks - it's on the list! :)
Thanks for watching!
Nice reaction - If you tried Rush 30 years ago and weren't impressed as a prog fan, this track, unfortunately, is not the one to give Rush a second impression. As suggested below, try Xanadu Exit Stage Left video. It's the live concert video where you can see and hear their magic. Other option would be La Villa Strangiato official video or Cleveland Time Machine Tour. 3 times is a charm. Cheers~
Nice one - thanks for the suggestions and for watching! Cheers!
Geddy plays the synth sometimes on foot pedals (if simple enough), while playing bass.
Amazing!
Thanks for watching!
Want to hear something different, Rachel? Try 2012’s The Garden live in Dallas or 1987’s Time Stand Still or 1982’s Losing It.
As for Alex’s (actually quite legendary) playing, try Working Man Live in Cleveland or YYZ live in Rio or or Headlong Flight live in Toronto.
Speaking of Lifeson, Guitar World ranks him at No. 8 of the greatest rock guitarists “of all time.” And here’s one more interest accolade for Alex, found in Guitar Player Magazine:
"The Alex Lifeson Chord” - and Why It's John Petrucci's Favorite
By Christopher Scapelliti published August 27, 2020
The prog-metal maestro on why this particular favorite of Lifeson's is his "desert island chord."
A few years back, John Petrucci went out for a drive with the folks from Cosmo Music (opens in new tab). In the resulting Rockstars in Cars video, the Dream Theater guitarist talked about his favorite solo to play live, his mix of technical and emotional guitar playing, and more.
Best question in the video: “Desert island chord: You got one chord you can play forever. What is it?”
“It’s the opening chord from Hemispheres by Rush,” Petrucci replies. “It’s the F sharp major with the added 4th and the flat 7. That should really be named ‘the Alex Lifeson Chord,’ because he invented that.”
Hemispheres was Rush’s sixth studio album and featured “Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres” as its opening track. The chord is shown above, while the video of the track can be seen below, along with the full Rockstars in Cars video.
Getty plays keys and bass at the same time by using his feet to play foot pedals. A three man orchestra.
Amazing!
Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed the reaction. I will look for more. I would really suggest that you increase the recording volume of your music. Your voices were plenty loud but I could barely hear the music. It's easy for people to turn down their volume but we can only turn it up as high as the recording volume you choose. Anyways my two cents. I suggest Xanadu Exit Stage Left live video as others have suggested to get a better idea of how the band performs on stage. Also La Villa Strangiato if you want a better sampling of Alex's guitar playing. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, sorry about the audio, we are trying to get it right. In some recent episodes we haven't been able to hear each other over the music (sounds like a simple thing to sort out, but with the software you need to use to do these types of videos, it's not). Thanks for the feed back though, and for watching. Cheers
@@RDMusicExchange yes it's certainly something that other channels have struggled to find the right balance on as well. Good luck.
You seemed to enjoy it! Baffled by a lot of the comments from fans on this song. It’s probably in my top 5 Rush favorites. They certainly have more approachable songs though.
i did, and have enjoyed it more with every listen.And if so many people think hey have much better songs, then I'm looking forward to checking them out! Thanks for watching mate
Alex Lifeson IS THE GREATEST ALL-AROUND Guitarist that ever lived in ANY Rock GENRE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Amen 🙏🏾 … 🎸🐐
After listening to Rush for a while I have learned to appreciate their unique signature. Sure they have borrowed from other bands like Yes. In fact Yes was one of their main inspirations. But over time you begin to appreciate a bands true CORE. Rush is unique. They have managed to take the full "sum" of all of the parts of what they were inspired by during their day and make their own poignant style and voice.
I look forward to checking out more of they work.
Thanks for watching!
I wouldn’t have chosen Jacobs ladder to use as an introduction to Rush try “spirit of Radio” a more mainstream selection that perfectly showpieces the bands unrivalled musical and compositional skills along with Neil’s signature intellectual and inspired lyrics .
Watch a live video of it to understand how three people can make the sound of a 5 or 6 piece band using their main instruments and foot pedals or triggers from Neil .
Nothing they do on stage is ever prerecorded or played by other musicians,to their credit.
Thanks - we'll check it out.
Thanks for watching.
You should check out Rush’s song “Xanadu”, live from the same album! They have an amazing video of the performance (whereas Jacob’s Ladder is only audio version)!
I think this will be the next Rush track we do!
Cheers
The "middle section" goes back and forth from 6/8 to 7/8.
Cool - I wasn't too far off with my guess at 13 then :)
Thanks for watching!
the necromancer for a deep cut
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
Check out Natural Science from the same album Permanent Waves
Thanks - will do!
Cheers
Just three on stage. Geddy is playing both, some with his feet. Rush are not needing anyone to make 4 . They are superb as a three,
In the interest of accuracy, Neil's name is pronounced "Peeeert", not"pert". Very common mistake. ;) Jacob's Ladder is definitely one of Rush's lesser-known songs, and not truly representative of their sound. Still amazing, though! The rays of sunlight that stream down through clouds like spotlights are called Jacob's Ladders, and this song is a reference to their appearance after a storm. Suggestions to really get into their catalog: Tom Sawyer (of course), YYZ Live in Rio, Xanadu (live,Exit Stage Left 1981), Spirit of Radio, Freewill, Subdivisions, 2112, Red Barchetta, Working Man (Studio and also Live in Cleveland Time Machine Tour), Limelight, La Villa Strangiato (studio or official video), By-tor And The Snow Dog, The Analog Kid, Digital Man, Fly By Night, A Farewell to Kings, well, there's just so many!
Geddy does indeed play bass and synths at the same time. He and Alex both have banks of foot pedals, and Geddy can play basslines while he's on keys, or play synth with the pedals while his hands are on the bass.
Yes, Alex Lifeson is the most underrated guitarist in rock history.
Thanks for the suggestions and for watching!
Try La villa Strangiato , this is one of the classics , I am sure this will be a way be entry to this band
Thanks - it's on the list!
Thanks for watching!
My time but don't recall this one. Rush did many memorable songs.
They certainly have a decent catalogue to explore!
Nice reaction welcome to Rush! If you are a bass player and you like progressive music you will absolutely love Rush. If this song is not your particular style keep in mind that although Rush always sounds like Rush and is very distinctive they were always changing, experimenting and pushing the limits. Rush played together for 40 years and have either 19 or 20 studio albums as well as several live albums. I would encourage you to react to not just live recordings but the video as well. I think as a musician you will really appreciate being able to see as well as listen to what they are doing. As others have mention sometimes Geedy Lee played bass with his hands while playing the keyboard with petals or vice versa. I will list just a few of my favorite live performances below.

I'm looking forward to delving it to some more RUSH!
Great, I look forward to seeing more of your Rush reactions and now that I have discovered your channel I will check out some of your other reactions as well.
The time signature during the part you were referencing actually alternates between 6/8 and 7/8, one right after the other! As I’m sure others have said, Xanadu from this live album really showcases what rush can do. Watch the video to see all the multi tasking. Both Alex (guitar) and Geddy (bass and vocals) play Taurus pedals for some of the synth sounds, as well as Geddy playing the keys. Neil’s percussion work is amazing, and he stays busy adding the little details. Best part about rush was they had different eras where it was still Rush, but they evolved stylistically from album to album, starting off heavy and bluesey, then growing more progressive, turning into progressive pop almost, heavy 80’s synth, 90’s rock and eventually just hard rock. Every era of rush is interesting.
Thanks! Sounds like I wasn't far off later on when I said I thought it might have been in 13! :)
Yes, we are looking forward to watching XANADU.
Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your reactions to this one. RUSH has a really eclectic catalogue that includes genres for every musical taste: Classic Rock in the early 70's, Progressive Rock later 70's, "Classic Progressive" most of the 80's, and then a return to a heavier sound in the 90's thru 2015. May I suggest "The Analog Kid"(80's), "Ghost Of A Chance" (90's), and "Touch On The Heart" (2000's) as examples of how unique and talented this band is! Thanks much! ☮
Awesome - thanks for the suggestions and for watching!
We are looking forward to diving into their catalogue!
Cheers

Bass and foot pedals for the part in question
Awesome - I look forward to seeing him in action in a future video.
Thanks for watching!
Should checkout earlier Rush Fly by night, in the mood, take a friend, making memories, working man, these had more of a rock sound instead of progessive sound.
Thanks - we'll check them out!
Thanks for watching!
you gotta listen to La Villa Strangiato even if you don't like Rush you will not forget this song ever I promise
It's on the list! :)
@@RDMusicExchange you will not regret it
It was interesting to watch the differing reactions between the two of you. It is a running joke in the Rush world that there are very few female Rush fans. The facial expressions and body language we get from the two of you seem to support that pattern. I have no idea why women don't get into Rush all that much. Jacobs Ladder is one of their more proggy songs, but it is one of my favorites. Perhaps if you were to try the more mainstream songs as has been suggested below you may find that more to your liking. It should also be noted that there are different chapters of Rush music. Their music changes dramatically as they grow older, wiser, and more proficient on their instruments. Maybe something from their more recent catalogue would touch your fancy more so than something from the end of the '70s.
Thanks - we'll be checking out music from throughout their catalogue as we go.
Cheers
Thanks for the sincere analysis and review. I do love Jacobs Ladder. I think you will really appreciate Xanadu Exit Stage Left live version 1981. It’s difficult to suggest something that is ‘representative’ from them as their career spanned 40 + years. Will look forward to your next Rush review! 🇨🇦
Thanks - I think Xanadu may well be the next Rush track we do.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
When they play live, Geddy plays bass with pedals. 😉 it's kind of overwhelming to watch. Lol
I look forward to checking it out!
Thanks for watching!
I grew to love Jacob's Ladder, but it's probably not the best introduction to RUSH. I hope you guys check out some other stuff from their catalogue. I see other comments recommending the live Xanadu video from the same concert. It is a really impressive display of musicianship.
Thanks mate. I have to say that the more I've listened to this track (during the edit process) the more I like it, and I quite liked it to start with.
Looking forward to seeing a live video.
Cheers!
OMG wrote my first comment before I got to the part where you said you were a bass player! How did Rush not click before? Geddy is one of the best, up there with Squire (one of his biggest influences). So many great bass songs: Red Barchetta, Freewill, Hemispheres, Headlong Flight, Big Money, and the instrumental Where’s My Thing is basically a bass solo with accompaniment, lol. He’s got a distinctive sound with those boosted mids and a slightly overdriven growl. He started on a Rickenbacker but plays mostly Jazz basses. He plays all finger style, but he does a lot of strumming with his first finger too. Keep going with them - you won’t be sorry.
P.S. the song starts with alternating 5/4 and 6/4, or you could count it as 11 if you want. There’s some 4/4 and a few others, I’m sure. They were genius in their use of odd meters to create musical tension, often releasing it with a chorus of 4/4 or 6/8.
Awesome - thanks Matthew!
I'm looking forward to discovering more!
Taurus foot pedals, dude. Geddy played bass live (and sang) while simultaneously using his feet to make synth sounds a la said foot pedals. Watch 'em live in concert, then you'll understand.
come on he has 2 feet he can use to trigger the bass/keyboards Rush prided themselves in pushing the limits of what a 3 piece could do live with very complicated music
Awesome - Thanks for watching!
He gets it, she doesn’t
Someone else on stage???
😂😂😂🇨🇦😜
This song ranks near the bottom of their catalog in my books. The Prog scene was played out by this point. When they advanced into the 80's and incorporated synths, Rush became a whole new band that broke the mold and shed their Progressive skin. It's why they had 40 years of lasting power while bands like Genesis and Pink Floyd just faded away. Rush fans can get stuck in nostalgia all they like, but without the New Wave sound Rush would have been dead in the water after 1981.
Take Big Money (live) for instance - th-cam.com/video/_wDpVSq6awU/w-d-xo.html This isn't the Rush sound most Rush fans will point you to, even though its insanely complex and Progressive in its creativity. But it paints a much clearer picture of the diversity and talent they had, than any of their early generic Prog Rock songs do.
Cool, thanks for the suggestion.
I'm not sure I agree that Floyd and Genesis faded away though. Genesis are on another massive tour (rightly or wrongly), and if the remaining members of Floyd got together tomorrow they would break the internet. :)
They just didn't keep outputting material as the bands as members left/died.
In terms of the song we picked, a few people have mentioned that it isn't their favourite, but it was the one that was suggested most to us from other videos, and without knowing any other tracks it's the one we went with.
(And through the editing process it's grown on me quite a bit.)
We're looking forward to checking out tracks from throughout their expansive career.
Thanks for watching!
The keyboards are being played by the bassist. They are foot pedals.
Xanadu 1981 LIVE. La Villa Stragiato
Great tee shirt. 👍🏻
Thanks mate! We did do a Crimson track (Starless) but Mr Fripp blocked it!
@@RDMusicExchange He’s like that. Some artists don’t understand the way reaction videos work in their favour. I’ve discovered some bands I wouldn’t have through them. It’s probably the record company though. Not so much the artist themselves. Just keep doing it though. Lovin your work.
PS.
Rush! Dig in mate. Such a great band. Watch some of the later live videos to see how they work all their kit to make the wondrous sound you heard on this track. You’ll love it. Lee is a stupendous bassist. I can’t even believe you’ve not listened to them before. Get in there lad.

Xanadu 1981 from the exit stage left tour. Spirit of Radio. The list is endless.

Good reaction, too much of a deep cut for first time. Watch Rush in Rio live, YYZ,the crowd definitely knows something you dont!

I quite enjoyed and have been enjoying it more with each listen. :)
Bass pedals are playing the key boards whilst he plays bass
Amazing!

I love this version of JL tho. Alex’s lead is wicked!
I enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching!
turn the volume way up. can barely hear the song...
Some people have mentioned that. It's a bit quieter than usual. We'll get it sorted for the next one.
Thanks for watching.
try these.....

Rush - Clockwork Angels Tour - The Garden th-cam.com/video/EsBNzf5JlZA/w-d-xo.html
Just added to the list- Thanks!
Jacob's Ladder is played at 120 Beats Per Minute (Allegro), or 24 Measures/Bars Per Minute.
Time Signature: 5/4.
Thanks!
It’s a mix of time signatures. The jam is definitely a 13/8 but feels subdivided between alternating measures of 6&7.
The main guitar melody section on the beginning is in 4/4.
you should do a reaction video from Iron Maiden "Rime of the ancient Mariner" flight 666

If you're going to start your RUSH journey (it will be great, trust me), you may want to consider starting with one of the best live performances of any band at any time.
Xanadu 1981 (Exit State Left): th-cam.com/video/VuHS-gjMiVw/w-d-xo.html
Another great live performance, The Spirit of Radio (Toronto 1984) : th-cam.com/video/zI5KWfq91kM/w-d-xo.html
Hi, thanks - I think Xanadu is likely to be our next Rush track :)
@@RDMusicExchange - awesome ... that performance in 1981 is one of the greatest performances of all time, by any band. It is outstanding.
Turn up the music audio
Will sort it out for next time. Cheers
You need to turn the music volume up.
Yep, it's lower than usual for some reason. We'l fix that for next time.
Thanks for watching.

Bass & pedals
Cool!
Thanks for watching!
Foot pedals
Yep, got that now. Cheers :)
song was very quiet
Yep, working on the audio for next time. Cheers
Dude, this is not the best live version. Audio ain't crisp. Try R40 version.
You did not pick a good one to start with.
Just went with a suggestion - never heard it before.
I didn't mind it though.
Thanks for watching
I have to admit that I've tried to listen to "Rush" many times - I'm a huge "YES" fan from way back, who people compare them to - but to me this is just background music masking the sounds in an abbatoir...killing me softly with this song....hahaha....Yes took me "Close to the Edge", Rush made me want to jump over it....
Like I say, I've tried it in the past and didn't get on with it, but I'm open to give it another go!
@@RDMusicExchange I know how you feel - wanting to like it because so many other people say their music is amazing but every time I try, Geddy Lee's voice hits a nerve and the sounds seem very monotone and repetitive. Which is why I admire you both for giving us such unvarnished reviews. As an aside, I went out with a beautiful Orstralian girl myself a while back and it is lovely to hear such fresh and intelligent insights in Rachel's sexy accent. She's a keeper mate.....
A very bizarre choice of Rush song. Of all the incredible songs & arrangements Rush have in their back catalogue, this would not make my top 20 if I was honest. So many absolute killer Rush songs from literally any decade from the 70's onwards, you would have a much better reaction to.
Cool, let us know your suggestions.
Thanks for watching,
And yet, among Rush fans, Jacob's Ladder and the Camera Eye were the two most requested songs in fan petitions to the guys before each tour. They should have played this song on video from R-40.
Not a good song to pick at the beginning . Fan of 40 yrs, and I could give you 100 better songs !
Hi, Just went with the suggestions we were given. Happy to hear what songs you'd like to see.
Cheers
Great song .... great live album.
Nice one! Thanks for Watching!
