In a live context, their music has so
much more heft and weight to it.
No wonder they are touted as being
one of the best live bands in history.
Such a beatiful song! Better live!! Thank you for watching!
best thing about it being live on Show of Hands was you finally and I mean FINALLY got to hear Alex do the solo without it fading out. This whole concert was great. I owned the VHS tape and watched it till it broke. Looking for the DVD/Blue Ray of this one now. Neil's drum solo on this one was amazing as well. and Geddy doing it all was crazy, Vocals, Bass, keyboards and or pedals. yeah beat that. Great job Justin. keep up the great work.
If you're beggining your entrepreneurial trip or feel stuck, these lyrics are a must to uplift your spirit.
I guess what you can’t replicate watching the live versions is How their sound and those synths filled the arena. I think that’s what people mean when they say they like the song after hearing it live. Geddy does say “now for something different”. Makes me wonder what their mindset was when they made HYF. We know where Neils was, meditating (and possibly medicating ) in China😂. I know Highwater was written while he was in China as well. Good ear pointing out that drum pattern. I love his drumming in this song.
Live version brings some urgency and elevates from the recording…as it should. I don’t rank this song as highly as many Rush fans do, but it should grow on you. I love when Alex does outro guitar solos. Always a treat.
Hold Your Fire came out in September 1987. The next album, Presto, didn't come out until November 1989. So for over 2 years, HYF was the latest Rush album. I listened to it well over a hundred times. It really grew on me. All Rush albums took a lot of listens for me to really "get" them. Having the whole Rush catalog available all at once to "binge listen" doesn't allow each album to sit with you for months and months. You can jump from album to album and pack 10 years worth of anticipation into an afternoon if you want. I think that might take away from the impact each album could have had.
I think so too...
I second that. If I heard Test for Echo, and on while having them all available on iTunes or something, those albums would never have received more than a couple listens. By the time I was able to listen to Vapor Trails through Clockwork, I had so many others to choose from on a digital playlist, that I rarely played those.
This is from the concert video "a show of hands."
I've grown to love this track over the years. The studio version is OK but like a lot of their 80's material it's in the live context where the songs really work. I love Neil's lyrics on this and by this stage he had really become a master of that craft. The thing that really stands out though is Alex's solo. So much power, so much emotion. It's one of his best ever IMHO.
You must watch the 2112 overture from this same concert. It includes the fastest broken-guitar-string-change-guitars-in-mid-song ever. Alex did a tremendous feat and Geddy still calls him out on it.
Oh and as a bonus in the same medly they have La Villa Strangiato with a hilarious censorship interjection.
Quite sure it's from the video recording from A Show of Hands soundtrack in Birmingham.
They did Mission live on the Snakes and Arrows tour in 2007/08 and Alex added some guitar during the verses to roughen the edges of the song a bit more. It was quite a cool rendition.
The boys did a great performance of Mission on the Snakes and Arrows tour in 2007...which I saw 7 shows lol
They did. Neil went nuts with the fills on the outro! Same with Digital Man!
I saw them play it live on the Snakes and Arrows tour also, and it was a stand-out for me. I was totally mesmerized!
I got to play Alex's guitar in this video 3 weeks ago at a charity event on the eve of Neil Peart's 70th birthday.
How cool. Wish I would have been able to sit behind and play Peart's drum kit. Especially the TAMA/Ludwig era kits.
Totally respect your opinion! This is one of my favorites personally. I think what makes a song important to people is what it represents to them at a certain time. This song takes me back to a Time and has a lot of sentimental value. Thanks for your review!
One of their "I love the frickin lyrics" songs, because it brings me back to a moment in time. I had a friend whose father was a crazy genius scientist and we were talking about a friend who worked at "dead end" job making widgets. I still remember him saying how he envied her, because she was happy and how he envied people who could do work like that and enjoy it.
"If their lives were exotic and strange. They would likely have gladly exchanged them for something a little more plain , maybe something a little more sane...."
God I love this song.......................
What a fantastic song.
This is a much better version than the studio.
Such a beautiful song with intense lyrics!
Saw this tour in Atlanta. At the time, I was a drummer, so my focus was almost 100% on Neil… in hindsight I wish I had paid more attention to Alex. Dude was a big goof even back then. 😂 Thanks for keeping the Rush songs flowing. 👍🏼
Definitely my favorite song I'll hold your fire, I saw this tour in January '88, at the time I was mostly wanting to hear their older stuff and the crowd went nuts when they played la villa strangiato
The song will take a turn with you if you watch the video mission with the space shuttle disaster. That's what this song was about. When you see the video you will understand the passion of the song
Absolutely love this song. I can totally see the effort of seeing what this song is all about. Appreciated brother I still believe this song will grow on you over time.
Hold your fire -
Keep it burning bright
Hold the flame
‘Til the dream ignites -
A spirit with a vision
Is a dream with a mission
I hear their passionate music
Read the words
That touch my heart
I gaze at their feverish pictures
The secrets that set them apart
When I feel the powerful visions
Their fire has made alive
I wish I had that instinct -
I wish I had that drive
Spirits fly on dangerous missions
Imaginations on fire
Focused high on soaring ambitions
Consumed in a single desire
In the grip
Of a nameless possession -
A slave to the drive of obsession -
A spirit with a vision
Is a dream with a mission…
I watch their images flicker
Bringing light to a lifeless screen
I walk through
Their beautiful buildings
And I wish I had their dreams
But dreams don’t need
To have motion
To keep their spark alive
Obsession has to have action -
Pride turns on the drive
It’s cold comfort
To the ones without it
To know how they struggled -
How they suffered about it
If their lives were
Exotic and strange
They would likely have
Gladly exchanged them
For something a little more plain
Maybe something a little more sane
We each pay a fabulous price
For our visions of paradise
But a spirit with a vision
Is a dream with a mission…
That's the thing...the "instrumental section" is the song. It is Rush, after all.
Rush "LIVE" gives a whole new perspective on the music. It's a beautiful day here in Southern Ontario. Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving!
The sound on that video was awesome. 👍👍
Until I saw them play it live, it didn’t grab me. One of my favorite songs of theirs now!
My first rush show,missed presto then rush & primus on roll the bones in Sheffield 92.
I had tickets to see there Roll the Bones tour but they canceled because one of them got sick, still bummed out about it 😕
That is SO nostalgic! I used to rent ASOH from the video store on the regular :)
Just an amazing song and amazing live performance. Not easy to pull off that sound so flawlessly.
Tell me that middle instrumental section isn’t a recipe for a train wreck in the making. That shit gets crazy OMG WTF were they thinking😂still gots to prove they prog and still have the chops to pull it off I guess. What’s really funny is Geddy and Neil double timing and multitasking on their respective instruments, and Alex over there just chillin, throwing in a few short but tasty solos, in the middle and then at the end, but otherwise strumming a sustained chord or stepping on a few bass pedals every now and then.🤘🖖✌️🎸🎹🎤🥁
The restrooms and concession stands were probably crowded during this song.
I saw the Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows and Hold Your Fire tours as a teen. What amazed me then and even more now, considering the prodigious 80's production, was how each song sounded like they were lifted from the albums. So incredibly tight and well rehearsed. It bums me out that I didn't see more of them live. Amazing sets.
Better live but I like the Snakes & Arrows live version even more.
All of this music is SO much better live. There's no mistaking the Moog Taurus pedals, and Alex's guitar is much higher in the mix. If these mid 80s albums had been mixed like this they would have been so much better. I do wonder, however, if they were taking advantage of taped backing tracks, or if these recordings were enhanced in post production. There are places where you can hear chord changes on the keyboard but Geddy's hand doesn't move, plus you can hear soft guitar arpeggios and Alex isn't doing anything.
Rush - music takes time to get close to . It's so iconic and special . There is more here that meets the eye and ( of course) the ear.
Think it's only the CD which is from multiple concerts, I have the dvd and the entire concert is from Birmingham NEC UK, holds 15,000 I remember queing for nearly an hour to get in, the great thing was it was only 30 miles from home so used to get there early. Your so right the musicianship is always on point it's amazing to watch Ged and Alex trigger and play bass pedals with their feet
I caught all three concerts at Birmingham. Travelled up from Stoke with a bunch of mates in a big red van! 😃
@@Katehowe3010 I was there for the April 23 show, my first Rush concert. As I recall, April 23 was to be their first show of the UK tour but as both Apr 23 and 24 sold out very quickly they tagged on an extra show on April 21 which I believe wasn't sold out.
@@Newworldman66 You're absolutely right. There were pockets of empty people all around the NEC. Which night did the recording take place? I do remember them fluffing the intro to 'The Temples Of Syrinx' with Alex coming in late. Was that the night you were there?
@@Katehowe3010 As I recall, they filmed both the 23rd and 24th shows and used the additional show on the 21st just for some long shots. I attended the Saturday 23rd show but don't remember them making any obvious errors. Of the songs played the ones I remember most clearly were Marathon, Time Stand Still, Lock & Key, Turn the Page and YYZ/Drum solo.
They did 2 nights in Brum that year, I went to one of them, but not sure whether it was this one, dont have the ticket anymore to check, cool to see it again though!
ALL of Alex's best guitar solos come from the 80's. The only exception being LaVilla Strangiato.
Probably my favorite from HYF. The songs have more of a direct, open power live removed from the album's sterile production. This video is very similar to the A Show of Hands album version.
Love the Big Screen! Love the live version of the song. Are you able to give a little more volume? I like my music loud but maybe you cant. Thanks, good job!
Did you notice Alex playing the foot pedals? Not many people have. Especially the media back in that day. Geddy always got that credit because he was the one with the big keyboards in front of him. Too obvious.
This is from a show of hands video. Different version from the live album. I prefer the album version it’s subtle in how geddy sings and the solo is more up front in the beginning.
The video also has a few songs that the album doesn’t and Vice verses. The live album release is more of a compilation of songs from multiple locations whereas the video is mostly from Birmingham I believe.
And that guitar Alex is using here ….I would love to have one of those. Lots of people hated the sound. Whether it was the guitar or speakers, people hated the thin sound of this Strat copy. From a company in Canada called signature I believe. Don’t know why but I loved the tone he had back then.
I was there !!
Yup this concert was on their Rush replay x3 DVD when I first heard it. That whole DVD introduced me to more of their 80's music made me love it more 🤌🏾🔥(count down to Test for Echo 🕐 🗓)
Have you seen the video where Geddy Lee says that one of his biggest regrets/ mistakes is his 80s hair? Lol
I have seen him mention that before yes
He called it his "racoon skin cap". 😂
THE RACOON!!!
Pretty sure I was at this gig - the 80s are a bit hazy if you know what I mean 😜
Not my favourite of their catalogue, but great musicianship. And it’s good to hear powerful Geddy’s voice in high notes.
❤ ❤... ❤
Very well done live arrangement. Thought the bass tone sat in the mix well, but could've been more colored? The bass/bell percussion riff was impressive, but overall, you know the rest.
love it
Geddy had such a wonderful voice back then. He managed to remain a good singer for quite some time, but his voice naturally started aging. That youthful quality is unique though and wonderful to hear. This is pretty much true for all singers. There are different qualities to their voices between their youth and their older years. He did a great job on this song. It kinda makes up for the hair.
"makes up for the hair" lol
soon, he,s gonna change is wig. lo.l. when you see these guys live,its not the same.nothing compare.🎹🥁🎸
The triumphate was arguably at the peak of their abilities as musicians in the late eighties - unfortunately this was not reflected by their compositions of that era.
Don't get me wrong - seeing this performance still impresses me.
The song just never got to me.
See this song does does bring this song more alive in my opinion. I can see why people think this song is inspirational because live, it is. It is better here live because one can see the perspective of every band member, not from some distinct track on a disk. By-tor and the Snow dog was better live too because like this song it was made to be played in a concert hall.
You are a hard man teach!
🤣
Agree, instrumental part's good, the rest Alex has to play w his hands to keep busy.
Better live, but now we've heard it can we skip hearing it again on "A show of Hands", please. Same era, won't sound different. Rather jump to Presto that much faster.
Yep, I agree again. LOL
This is the live version to watch. th-cam.com/video/SX1jQgIjgeM/w-d-xo.html
Yeah Justin you might even like the song better because he's playing a different bass
Thank you for sharing!
yeah outside of the instrumental section, the chordal arrangements and harmonic shifts are just something... a little more plain. I know they were trying to project a feeling of elevation and inspiration, but those major keys are just too saccharin. Hate to say it, but Celine Dion could have sung this song.
It's only 1988, and you can see that Geddy has already given up on being a keyboard player, despite the rig. At the top of the song, he's not even playing the part...he's just holding down a key that plays the changes for him. He may as well be playing a tape recorder.
not sure about that? its a simple two chord pairing with only one note changing by a half step between them. the video is too low quality but I believe he is fingering the actual chords. they're not very hard to play lol.
Not my favorite song. But I've always enjoyed its live performance at shows.
The live version is better, but still not my cup of coffee. Geddy using Wahl Bass and Alex using Signature guitars Mmmmmm no! Very "thin" guitar sound to me. All those sampled sounds too? No!
I love this one, such a depth of meaning behind it. You didn't care for it but you gave it your due diligence. Fair is fair. Cheers!
It is what it is people, let's keep moving forward and accept the inevitable consequences of someone else's honest opinion!!!
