A Canadian band playing for a very appreciative Brazilian audience, being reacted to by a lovely French woman and enjoyed by an American. Truly international! 🥰
YESSSSSS!! And there are only 3 guys playing. RUSH, the world’s smallest orchestra. After being a fan for 45 years and seeing them live over 70 times…… they still make me feel as good as they did when I first heard them in 1975. MORE RUSH PLEASE!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
YYZ is the airport code for Toronto. All Rush fans know the story how the rhythm section was created - it is the Morse code played by the tower on approach. They built a song around it, which is supposed to express the joy of coming home after a long trip. Love that you reviewed it. If you want to check out something that will absolutely blow your mind, check out the live drum performance of Neil Peart - "Live in Frankfurt". This is a man who displays the performance of a musician who has reached the pinnacle of his craft.
Neal Peart (the drummer) was considered the number 1 rock drummer in the world. Instead of sitting on his butt, he hired a famous drum coach and relearned how to play drums (holding the sticks traditionally instead of overhand like he'd been doing). He admired jazz drummers and jazz drummers hold their sticks traditionally. It took him a long time to get back to the level he'd been at before, but he did and he was happy and still considered a living legend. Instead of sitting on his butt, he changed his style again back to overhand, because he'd learned both and wanted to push himself by combining the understanding of traditional and overhand. Neal Peart never let excellence slow him down. He retired from touring after realizing he could no longer perform at 120% on top of his game and still a legend to all living rock and metal drummers. Rest In Peace Mr. Peart.
For all of the people that never got to see rush live, I feel for ya, they always put on such an amazing show I can still recall seeing them several times as if it were yesterday. They are greatly missed but not forgotten and their music will live forever and will withstand the sands of time.
Another really great live performance by Rush is their performance of "Spirit of Radio" live in Toronto in 2003 in front of 500,000 fans. It's an amazing performance!
That whole concert in Rio was insane. They did put it out on Blu-ray so you can get the whole thing in the surround sound of that time. I listen to it regularly. :)
Sitting here in my office, about 1km from Toronto's Pearson Airport - YYZ - loving this reaction. That crowd in Rio was as big a part of the song as Alex, Neil and Geddy were. Amazing!
Im an american so i dont know as much about it as i should, but this entire crowd is like soccer, world cup time crazy...it is truly awesome, as in from the root of the word "awe", im just in *awe* of such enthusiasm & such power & the vibe put across by them...music is one of the international languages, obviously. Anyway, Great reaction Verdy:) Lastly, ur "amazed face" is so great, ive seen it with SRV "texas flood at el mocambo", & anything jimmy page & robert plant...ur reactions are great.
I remember I was living in Sao Paulo at that time and missed this concert but I remember when Geddy was saying afterwards he never saw a crowd singing a whole instrumental through. So it's not only you - this is one of the best live performance of a song ever! The best live gig as by most critics were Queen at Live Aid 1985, you should do this as well if you haven't done yet, some goes for Pink Floyd live at Pompeii 1973.
This is one of the greatest drummers ever to play the drum set and unfortunately we lost him in January 2020 to bring cancer but wow what a great drummer what a great band
Jazz is in Brazilians' DNA .. wild to hear them singing complex melodies right in the pocket, while our North American crowds have trouble clapping in time.
Working Man live in Cleveland One Little Victory live in Rio Xanadu from Exit Stage Left Digital Man from the Snakes and Arrows tour Caravan from the Time Machine Tour All great live performances from these guys Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I still love this song and appreciate it so much even all these years later. What I did not know back then or recognize was the Middle Eastern sound that the Alex solo had in it but now I sure do hear the influence. Later on Snakes and Arrows also had a lot more different feeling in some of the music as it was influenced by eastern music. I really miss your reactions to Rush albums, from their earliest to middle years especially. Caress of Steel and Hemispheres are both way up on my list of favorites from them, but the others are good too as they can be so different. As you've done one (2112) now you only have 18 more to pick from. :)
Glad you got off on this one. Live Rush is always a treat. All Rush fans will say the same. Live songs to do, Working man live in Cleveland. Xanadu from the Exit stage left tour.
Beside bassist, drummer is another guy out of this world. You can find on TH-cam his drum solo from concert in Frankfurt. Absolutely nuts! In my opinion is the thing from above that such three of genius could find themselves and create rock group. :)
Canadian reacting to the best ever canadian band haha. Your face was awesome! South american crowds are just NUTS. This one has even Babymetal quality. Rush is my all time No. one band since I heared them first in (I guess) 1976. Best trio ever, you will be blown away by them for sure. As always, greets from Germany and keep on rockin!
It seems like the crowd was mic'ed, but i know it wasnt , its just world cup soccer-level madness of enthusiasm....its so awesome to see (and hear) & "awesome" as in the root of the word, which is "awe", to be "in awe" of something....the crowds vibes are g.o.a.t.'ed & magnificent...jaw-dropping.
Best Live Performance RUSH - Xanadu - Live In Montreal 1981 (2021 HD Remaster 60fps) Alex Lifeson - 6 string guitar, 12 string guitar, pedal synthesizer, volume pedal; Geddy Lee - Vocals, bass guitar, 6 string guitar, foot pedal synthesizer, electric piano/synthesizer; Neil Peart - Lyrics, Drums, orchestra bells, tubular bells, wind chimes, crotales, timbales, timpani, gong, temple blocks, bell tree, triangle, and melodic cowbells. Based on Kubla Khan (Xanadu) by Samuel Taylor Coleridge Coleridge composed his poem, ‘Kubla Khan’, in a state of semi-conscious trance either in the autumn of 1797 or the spring of 1798 and published in 1816. The whole poem is pervaded by an atmosphere of dream and remains in the form of a vision. The vision embodied in Kubla Khan was inspired by the perusal of the travel book, Purchas His Pilgrimage. Coleridge had taken a dose of opium as an anodyne, and his eyes closed upon the line in the book, “At Zanadu Kubla Khan built a pleasure palace.” But this opened his creative vision, and the poem of about 200 lines was composed in this state of waking dream. On being fully awake, he wrote the poem down. The theme of the poem is unimportant. It describes the palace built by Kubla Khan, the grandson of Chengis Khan, the great rule of central Asia. th-cam.com/video/2byjJkN_nVY/w-d-xo.html
YYZ is emblematic of many Rush songs, a short repeating pattern that threatens to be overplayed, but then switched to a different pattern, each one a nice counterpart, similar enough to complement, different enough to progress forward. Jacob's Ladder has a similar structure.
Audio capture, wholeheartedly agree. That fast switching camera angles during a lot of the songs gets very annoying very fast. At some points it was like they need a different image angle for every other beat. Huge fan and seen them 15+ times and absolulutely love the audio from this live release but others I'm more a fan of for the video capture.
As a long time bass player and obvious fan of Rush, I always like to see people's first time reaction to the talent and versitility of these three men. I'll recommend "Natural Science" , "The Analog Kid", "Digital Man" and the album "Hemispheres" in it's entirety. Thanks for your videos, keep up the good work.
Unreal performance. Did you catch Geddy's 3 dryers on his "backline?" A bit of a running band joke...along with the chicken rotisserie later on, and a snack machine and fridge at other points in their touring.
if you react like this to YYZ, can't wait to see the look on your face when you react to the biggest new music video in the world , nearly 2 million views in only 3 days on TH-cam. POLYPHIA-EGO DEATH feat STEVE VAI official music video, WOW ! I think this is going to be one of the greatest instrumental classics of all time, great collaboration with one of the top 10 greatest guitar player's of all time Steve Vai, an UNBELIEVABLE MASTERPIECE, best wishes from the north east coast of England.
You should listen to the studio version, b/c a lot of the intricacies are lost in the crowd noise, and Alex's guitar volume is kinda low. Better yet, just do the whole "Moving Pictures" album.
Thank you so much for your reaction vids for Rush 2112 and this one. Please, Please, do a reaction to "La Villa Strangiato"! The best one to watch is the one on the official Rush channel. The guys are pretty young and it's mind blowing how talented they were, even at that age! You will love it. I really enjoy watching you react. I grew up with this music, and watching you is like watching my own daughter 30 years ago, when I introduced her to Rush, Yes, Supertramp, and Black Sabbath. She went to a Rush concert with me and my buddies, and she had the time of her life. Cheers! Michael in Champaign, Illinois, USA.
Yes! There are more incredible live performance videos from Rush! You should check out the video for "By-Tor & the Snowdog" medley from 1981 (Exit Stage Left video)!! It is a medley of some of their older music, played at the end of their set, on their famous Moving Pictures tour! It's By-Tor/In The End/In The Mood/Grande Finale (2112) show stopper! You will love it!
People flocked to see them. I think their followers knew that they earned their way to the top. No help by record companies or radio stations. Any more than 2:30 minutes seldom got played on a.m. radio so they took to the road and played almost non stop. Slowly but surely his audience grew and eventually they could not be ignored by the main stream. One of the best selling album sellers. That’s impressive since singles are easier to sell. Listen to most bands and you will see one hit on an album. This is good stuff.
🔥🔥🔥 Loved your enthusiastic reaction. I agree, this one is fire and the crowd is amazing as well. You may want to check out "Where's My Thing", with Neil Peart drum solo, live in Dallas. It's another banger from RUSH! Thanks much for this one!🏆
You have to listen to the studio version of "YYZ" from the Moving Pictures album, and then check out the live version from "Exit Stage Left" which contains, in my humble opinion, Neil Peart's best, most lyrical and well composed drum solo. Unfortunately, that last one is not accompanied by video, but you'll still be blown away. I know I was when I first heard it.
If you liked this try Iron Maiden from Rock in Rio doing Fear of the Dark. The crowd sings along to the music in that one too. And, it might even be better than in this one.
You should check out La Villa Strangiato, Analog Kid, Red Barchetta, The Big Money, Spirit of Radio & 2112! Rush is an unbelievable, once-in-a-lifetime, extraordinarily talented band. I guarantee you will never see anything like them, ever again! RIP, Neil Peart, aka the Professor
Well done Miss Verdy! 3 of the most accomplished Canadian musicians (I'm so proud!) that have no trouble executing complex music live without a hitch, only 3 guys, think about it... Lifeson plays bass pedals and Lee keyboards and vocals in addition to their base instrument, no wonder they've had success since their debut in 1975 until their retirement, one of the greatest Progressive Rock bands that ever was, thank you for the great reaction, by the way, considering the complexity of their music, pretty much all their live performances are stellar and well worth a look!

How many bands could get a crowd that large to "sing" an instrumental with them while they played? Mind-blowing.
This is why people request this song at this particular concert unforgettable
Brazilians know the words to all instrumentals during concerts. lol
Brazilians always look for a chance to do their national soccer team chant, and it worked perfectly with this song
A Canadian band playing for a very appreciative Brazilian audience, being reacted to by a lovely French woman and enjoyed by an American. Truly international! 🥰
YESSSSSS!!
And there are only 3 guys playing.
RUSH, the world’s smallest orchestra.
After being a fan for 45 years and seeing them live over 70 times…… they still make me feel as good as they did when I first heard them in 1975.
MORE RUSH PLEASE!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I saw them in 1974....Billy Preston was the headliner......Rush....Kiss...Billy...$8.00

Many Rush fans in Brazil. They even have Tom Sawyer as the intro song of Macgyver.
For all of the people that never got to see rush live, I feel for ya, they always put on such an amazing show I can still recall seeing them several times as if it were yesterday. They are greatly missed but not forgotten and their music will live forever and will withstand the sands of time.
Saw Rush on the Hemispheres tour.
100%! I saw them 21 times..each show Amazing!
Any Rush live performance is worthwhile
“That bass…that bass was nasty.” 😆 Subbed.
What an audience !! Great reaction. Rock fans in South America are legendary.
I can't watch this live recording of YYZ without a big smile on my face 🙂
Another really great live performance by Rush is their performance of "Spirit of Radio" live in Toronto in 2003 in front of 500,000 fans. It's an amazing performance!
That's actually my favourite Rush video ever. A must-watch!
From the same “live in rio” concert, you should check out “Tom Sawyer”. That crowd is amazing.
my favorite band
My favorite band! Great reaction.
That whole concert in Rio was insane. They did put it out on Blu-ray so you can get the whole thing in the surround sound of that time. I listen to it regularly. :)
Sitting here in my office, about 1km from Toronto's Pearson Airport - YYZ - loving this reaction. That crowd in Rio was as big a part of the song as Alex, Neil and Geddy were. Amazing!
I was just watching your Rush 2112 reaction. Try the Rush album titled Hemispheres next, you’ll LOVE it ! 👍😎⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Brazil...
Thats.
AND MORE!
MUCHE MORE!!!
Im an american so i dont know as much about it as i should, but this entire crowd is like soccer, world cup time crazy...it is truly awesome, as in from the root of the word "awe", im just in *awe* of such enthusiasm & such power & the vibe put across by them...music is one of the international languages, obviously. Anyway, Great reaction Verdy:) Lastly, ur "amazed face" is so great, ive seen it with SRV "texas flood at el mocambo", & anything jimmy page & robert plant...ur reactions are great.
It's more the spectial of the crowd that's special.
Just love your reaction, some people hear the music and some people Feel the music, you definitely feel it. Keep the Rush going
I remember I was living in Sao Paulo at that time and missed this concert but I remember when Geddy was saying afterwards he never saw a crowd singing a whole instrumental through. So it's not only you - this is one of the best live performance of a song ever!

This is one of the greatest drummers ever to play the drum set and unfortunately we lost him in January 2020 to bring cancer but wow what a great drummer what a great band
If you haven't already, check out Rush Best Intro Ever. The band begins with a medley of their songs before going into Spirit of Radio
RUSH got me through life. Always there for commonsense guidance.
40,000 people in Rio singing the notes Alex played that night. Mind blowing love for this absolutely amazing song.
yay you got the crowd does the vocals..... luv ya videos
Saw these guys in 1983. Great show. 😊
Jazz is in Brazilians' DNA .. wild to hear them singing complex melodies right in the pocket, while our North American crowds have trouble clapping in time.
hahaha
Geddy is so good he can play bass sing keyboards and even do his laundry on stage at the same time!
Canada's finest! Thank you.😉
God I miss the professor… 💔
Thanks soo very much for your sincere reaction.
Here comes all of the RUSH Fans!

Let's GO !!!!
On y va!
Check out the documentary, includes their first tour of Brazil! Greetings from BC
I love ❤ your appreciation for the instruments ! Great reaction 🤣!

Thanks for reacting to this favorite performance by Rush. All 3 guys were amazing so was the Rio crowd.
Glad you got off on this one. Live Rush is always a treat. All Rush fans will say the same. Live songs to do, Working man live in Cleveland. Xanadu from the Exit stage left tour.
make 3 men feel like 100!! this is the single most piece of complete badassery i have ever whitnessed!
So glad you caught the drumstick toss. Every other reactor I've watched seems to miss that.👍
Yay! Nice to see you reacting to more Rush!
Got to see them 13 times!
Great to see you checked this one out. I have great memories of the times I got to see Rush live.
Another killer live instrumental performance is "Where's My Thing" in Dallas.
Xanadu live “Exit Stage Left” tour. Lots of reactors have done it and there’s a good reason!
That blows away the cobwebs. I love the washing machines where the Marshalls would normally be.
Beside bassist, drummer is another guy out of this world. You can find on TH-cam his drum solo from concert in Frankfurt. Absolutely nuts! In my opinion is the thing from above that such three of genius could find themselves and create rock group. :)
Alex is out of this world too. Listen to any of his solos and you can see how good he is.
Another terrific reaction. I hope you do more Rush. I bet you would love Xanadu live.
Canadian reacting to the best ever canadian band haha. Your face was awesome! South american crowds are just NUTS. This one has even Babymetal quality.

@@vincentvancraig Yeah, man! Very good vibe. This entire show is a must-watch show.
Hi from Ottawa. Thanks for pronouncing the Z in this Canadian group's song as "zed". Good reaction.
Hi from Montreal !!
@@verdychannel11marry me!!!!!
Xanadu by Rush would be my suggestion for your next foray into this great band. Go for the promo video from 1978. 👍
Credit the sound engineer. For such a large venue, the mix is crazy good!
Legendary "3 man band" from Canada

Also, for a crowd to sing along to an instrumental, accurately, it has to be performed accurately, too.
Welcome to our Rush family, young lady.
Since you're doing live and asking for more, Working Man in Cincinnati
Another great live performance is Eddie VanHalen's "Erruption Guitar solo.
YYZ is emblematic of many Rush songs, a short repeating pattern that threatens to be overplayed, but then switched to a different pattern, each one a nice counterpart, similar enough to complement, different enough to progress forward. Jacob's Ladder has a similar structure.
This is such a awesome live performance…
Audio capture, wholeheartedly agree. That fast switching camera angles during a lot of the songs gets very annoying very fast.

65k people jumping and singing to an instrumental! This is insane
As a long time bass player and obvious fan of Rush, I always like to see people's first time reaction to the talent and versitility of these three men. I'll recommend "Natural Science" , "The Analog Kid", "Digital Man" and the album "Hemispheres" in it's entirety. Thanks for your videos, keep up the good work.
Unreal performance. Did you catch Geddy's 3 dryers on his "backline?" A bit of a running band joke...along with the chicken rotisserie later on, and a snack machine and fridge at other points in their touring.
2:52 VERDY loves a good drum fill!
if you react like this to YYZ, can't wait to see the look on your face when you react to the biggest new music video in the world , nearly 2 million views in only 3 days on TH-cam.

You should have a listen to the other instrumental in this concert in Rio, La Villa Strangiato. Alex shows off his comedic attitude. Hilarious.
love your smile.
You should listen to the studio version, b/c a lot of the intricacies are lost in the crowd noise, and Alex's guitar volume is kinda low. Better yet, just do the whole "Moving Pictures" album.
If you could be teleported into any concert ever....
Thank you so much for your reaction vids for Rush 2112 and this one. Please, Please, do a reaction to "La Villa Strangiato"! The best one to watch is the one on the official Rush channel.

YYZed haha, ❤ you Verdy
Yes! There are more incredible live performance videos from Rush! You should check out the video for "By-Tor & the Snowdog" medley from 1981 (Exit Stage Left video)!! It is a medley of some of their older music, played at the end of their set, on their famous Moving Pictures tour! It's By-Tor/In The End/In The Mood/Grande Finale (2112) show stopper! You will love it!
Yes... Reviewed far too rarely. It's extraordinary.
People flocked to see them. I think their followers knew that they earned their way to the top. No help by record companies or radio stations. Any more than 2:30 minutes seldom got played on a.m. radio so they took to the road and played almost non stop.

Great reaction ☺️!
Check out Xanadu ( Exit stage left 1981)
Working man (Live in Cleveland)
Check out working man live in Cleveland, and Xanadu live as well. Both are great. 😃
🔥🔥🔥 Loved your enthusiastic reaction. I agree, this one is fire and the crowd is amazing as well. You may want to check out "Where's My Thing", with Neil Peart drum solo, live in Dallas. It's another banger from RUSH! Thanks much for this one!🏆
Rush's Working Man live in Cleveland is even better, IMO
Ils sont malades ces 3 musiciens là!
An other live reaction: Rush, Working Man, live in Cleveland!
Quand tu dis changement de tempo….
Do Xanadu live exit stage left, mind blowing display of pure talent.
Great reaction to a great performance. I also highly suggest "Working man " live in Cleveland. Your jaw will drop!
You have to listen to the studio version of "YYZ" from the Moving Pictures album, and then check out the live version from "Exit Stage Left" which contains, in my humble opinion, Neil Peart's best, most lyrical and well composed drum solo. Unfortunately, that last one is not accompanied by video, but you'll still be blown away. I know I was when I first heard it.
Second best drummer ever behind Bohnam, at least in my opinion
THIS is Brazil, friends.
If you liked this try Iron Maiden from Rock in Rio doing Fear of the Dark. The crowd sings along to the music in that one too. And, it might even be better than in this one.
You should check out La Villa Strangiato, Analog Kid, Red Barchetta, The Big Money, Spirit of Radio & 2112! Rush is an unbelievable, once-in-a-lifetime, extraordinarily talented band. I guarantee you will never see anything like them, ever again! RIP, Neil Peart, aka the Professor
Xanadu live from Exit Stage Left in Montreal.
Visceral is the word.
pretty kool a young chick that digs Geddy Lee...........please try 'RED BARCHETTA' YOUR MIND WILL BLOW AWAY........
Rest in Peace Neil.
Rush is 🇨🇦🔥
Try Xanadu live exit stage left 1981 or Working Man live in Cleveland
If I could give our reaction to this 1000 likes, I would.
I would like you to react to Xanadu live Exit Stage Left. That concert footage is absolutely epic.

Their debut was '74.
