This man is the complete opposite of Diddy. Integrity, talent, kindness. In fact all three of these men are good human beings. Their drummer passed away unfortunately.
cant hold a candle to the prof. not even close. very different on likely many levels not even close. great art (my hidden s&g ref) and great artists some people have more style in a pinky... hell in their pinky nail than so many others just how it is. thta was my floyd ref.
What @peterjackson4623 said. A hundred times over. This is what I wrote about them when I reviewed the fantastic documentary that came out on them 'bout a decade back: "As blown up as they can be on stage or in a fan’s mind while listening, they each come off as a seemingly contradictory Rockstar Everyman. But it seems they’ve always been that way, and they’re that way today. They’d fit in with any group of friends - so long as those friends aren’t a stuffy bunch. In that way they’re like the Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers of the progressive rock world. Lighted Stage shows the band as they are: three hard working guys who were talented from the start, fortunate early on, and smart enough to follow that fortune while never looking back." These guys are (were) the real deal. Love, love, love them to death :)
That drummer is Neil Peart, aka "The Professor", and is widely viewed as the greatest rock drummer in history. Learn all about him in this 2020 tribute shortly after his passing.... th-cam.com/video/xb57ShmdMS8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vc0FEKSK0aiurTE3
Did you ever hear Stewart Copeland talk about Neil Peart when he says people excitedly come up to him and say, “You’re my fav, my second favorite drummer?”
Best rock band ever. Same 3 guys, amazing musicians, incredible thoughtful lyrics, 40 years, 20 albums spanning so many different styles, millions of fans all around the world and their legend continues 10 years on after their retirement and will well into the future. They were so detail oriented all the way down to every album cover having a lot of thought put into them. Everything about them was all about quality and maximum effort all the time. A testament to the hard work they put into this band for decades. No one like them.
The video was recorded in Le Studio, a recording studio in Canada. It was several video recordings of them at different times in the recording process. When you see Geddy singing, it's just him alone in the recording booth. The keyboards were recorded separately, which is why you don't see the drummer and guitarist in the same frames as when he's playing keyboard. The guitar solo was likewise recorded separately. When they played this live though, they'd play all those things.
What you say about his company is what society. Tom’s friend was Black & the novel Tom Sawyer was controversial because of it. Great lyric. Great song!
This video was recorded in several takes - with Neal (drums) and Alex (guitar) being recorded along with Geddy on bass - then Geddy separately recorded some of the vocals and the keyboard/synthesizer parts. That "off beat" is a section written in 7/4 time - you can count out 7 beats in the repeating patterns instead of the much more common 4 (or 8) or 3 (or 6). The line about getting "high on you" and the "space he invades he gets by on you" are references to Tom's self-reliance - he has nothing to prove to anyone, and thus he is free to enjoy people for who they are without needing any approval or praise from them.
Neil is also one of rock's best lyricist of all time. Check out song like Vital signs, Middletown dreams, Witch hunt.... Bars after bars after bars, this man was a prophet and a genius !! RIP
Fastest and most precise hands of any drummer in history. He played the same in concert as he did in every recording of every song. He was also the primary song writer in the band. Rest in Peace, Neal Peart❤🥁
Dang, what do you base your first incorrect statement on? Buddy Rich would disagree with that, and Neil himself would tell you that Buddy was the ultimate master of the drums back in the day. And he would also tell you that Steve Smith, Tony Williams, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, Dennis Chambers, etc...would blow Neil's ass outa the water on drums. Neil would be the first to tell you this. Your 2nd statement is correct. Lastly, Neil wrote the lyrics. Not the music.
@@Mikey_Sea Neil was a great rock drummer. But you're correct, every drummer you listed are far superior to Neil. There are so many great drummers out there...Unless you're a drummer, most of the guys (save for Buddy) are not household names, but are Gods amongst men in the drumming community. There are sooo many...Cobham, Gadd, Mangini, Lang, Minnemann, Grebb....the list goes on and on...
Thank you, Rush is one of my all time favorite bands. R.I.P. Neil Peart, the drummer. Besides being an absolutely brilliant percussionist, he was Rush’s primary lyricist.
The video is of them recording the song. It was recorded at a famous Canadian cottage studio. The guys didn't disappear, you were just watching Geddy last down the keyboard track. The other guys weren't there for that.
It was thier ability to play thier stuff live matching the studio versions note-for-note that made 'em so popular and so long-lived. Qunicy Jones described them as " Progressive rock meets sci-fi..pure creativity and team work."
lyrics were written by the drummer Neil Peart , and another writer named Pye Dubois. Drummer not only a Bad A$$ on the kit but also wrote the lyrics for at least 95 % of the music.
Thank you for this reaction. The drummer writes the lyrics that the bass player sings. Please check out their live performances to see why Rush fans are so dedicated.
I love it when people say "That drummer" when they first listen to this song. That drummer is Mr Neil Peart. He is considered one of the greatest drummers of all time. Look it up it's true. He's right up there with John Bonham and Jeanne Cooper. Neil is your favorite drummer's favorite drummer.
Welcome to Rush! Three master musicians from Toronto, Canada who had a 40 plus year career. Geddy Lee Vocals, Bass, Keyboards and Pedals Alex Lifeson Acoustic and Electric Guitar, Mandola, Pedals and later Keyboards Neil Peart Drums, Percussion and Main Lyrist. Unfortunately Neil Peart passed from brain cancer in January of 2020. He is considered one of the best drummers in rock. Tom Sawyer is about a person who is a free spirit. Not one that follows the masses but follows his own heart. Rush had issues with their record label early in their career. The label didn't like them producing progressive rock. They wanted three minute radio friendly songs. Rush did the complete opposite and produced 2112 a twenty minute masterpiece. It was a huge success and the label never bothered them again. They kept their integrity and they were willing to stop playing music if they couldn't express their creativity. No Diddy vibes here. In fact the opposite. Three guys who had a true brotherhood. Alex and Geddy have been best friends since they were 13. Both Geddy and Alex have been married to their wives for over 50 years. Neil went through a great deal of heartache when his 19 year old daughter died in a car accident on her first day of university. Neil's wife passed that same year of cancer. He took a long motorcycle journey through Canada and the U.S ending up stopping in California where he was introduced to Carrie Nutell who became his second wife. They to had a daughter who he was teaching to drum. Unfortunately not long after the band retired Neil developed cancer himself and passed three years later. Three very honourable men. This was filmed at Le Studio in Morin Heights, Quebec, Canada It was a state of art recording studio where numerous bands recorded. Unfortunately it no longer exists. Next up I suggest Digital Man from the Snakes and Arrows tour Cheers 🇨🇦
YYZ Live In Rio: 50,000 frenzied Brazilian fans singing along to an instrumental piece, plus Neil playing on an even bigger bad@$$ drum kit; fasten your seatbelt! 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🐐 🐐 🐐
To see this song live in concert, you should react to their Exit.. Stage Left concert from 1981, they perform Tom Sawyer, Xanadu, Freewill, and other great songs.. in Xanadu, Neil Peart-The drummer, tosses his stick several times without missing the very next beat…legendary band-Rush ✌️👍😎
I agree...checking out Xanadu from ESL is a must, but don't believe you'll see a stick toss in that song, in fact I think there is a spot in that song a little more than halfway you can see a stick slip from his right hand as he raises it up...but yeah amazing performances from the ESL video
Filmed at LeStudio recording studios. Nobody disappeared at the end of the video, this was actual footage of their recording sessions doing this song and in a recording studio there are over-dubs done where instrumentals and vocals are recorded separately. What you saw was Geddy laying down the synth tracks and then vocal tracks alone in the studio probably after all three played the core tracks together.
Best dam Canadian progressive rock band on the planet!! 40 years of great rock music!! RIP Neal Peart "The Professor on the Drums" life long fan! check-out Xanadu, RUSH, "live in Montreal 1981" Great reaction video!! 😀🤨🥶👌👍✌
Welcome to the Rush family. They have so many songs that are also THIS good. A few other tasty Rush songs: "The Spirit of Radio", "Xanadu", "Marathon", "Subdivisions", and "The Weapon" to name a few.
It's a 3 piece band. Them Dudes r playin' their hearts out. Drummer. Niel Peart. The only percussion PHD. on the planet. He's a professor at Juilliard school of music. Passed away Jan 7, 2020. RIP.
Neil Peart was not a professor. The nickname was because he resembled the character on Gilligan's Island. He was an amazing drummer, but he was not a professor at Julliard.
The drummer didn’t disappear. It’s a vid of how they record in the studio. Some parts are done with all of them there and other parts are recorded with just one or two of them and mixed in later. If you notice, one guy was singing, playing bass and working the keys. All 3 are mind blowing!
The drummer, Neal Peart, besides being a masterful drummer, also wrote most of their songs - musicality and lyrics. Back from the 70's / early 80's they ruled the airwaves. I was lucky enough to be a teenager and lived through that incredible time in music history. Great review. P.S. NO DIDDY BS. This was waaaaaay before Diddy!
Rush released 19 studio albums and 11 live albums over their 40 years together. Just search "Rush Tom Sawyer Live" and you'll find a large number of performances from which you can choose for your live reaction.
Great review! You hit the nail on the head when you noticed the musicianship of the band! Hope this leads you down the rabbithole to check out and review more Rush.
It was recorded and filmed in Le Studio, in Quebec, Canada. A bunch of other bands recorded there over the years. Unfortunately it was destroyed by fire and the property was cleared.
The studio was originally founded by a husband and wife that lived there. For nearly 20 years it was considered one of the best studios in North America. They ran it until they retitred and sold it in 1988. Then it ran under new management for another 15 years, but it fell way behind in technology and was poorly managed. It went out of business in 2003, and fell into utter disrepair over the next decade or so... until it was destroyed by... "a suspicious fire" (ie: someone collected the insured value).
First of all , happy new year to you and yours. Secondly, welcome to the rush, rabbit hole. It is very deep, and the deeper you go, the less you will want to climb out.
This was recorded at Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec, not at the band’s crib. At the time one of the best recording studios in the world. David Bowie, the Police and dozen others recorded there. It burned down a few years ago.
You have just witnessed one of the originators of the "Prog-Rock" movement in music. All three are virtuoso's, and incredibly, Neil Peart, the drummer (& percussionist/poet), also wrote about 95% of the lyrics to their music. Three of the most humble, nice people in Rock. Yes, listen to a live version....not much will change.
i met alex once when i was working in a hotel giftshop i was a guess late teens ofc i had tkts and knew they were staying there. much to my surprise alex strolls into the place looking around we start chatting the guy was funny af nice as anyone could be and quite real. so young me im like dude i know this sounds ridiculous but i esp brought my bass guitar its in the car i was so hoping to get it signed hes like. "what srs you brought your bass its out in your car? and of course we both start laughing bcos this is stupid af. he's like dude go get it ill sign it. so yeah that happened a long time ago. ive met some few famous types this is one of the better stories. great guy had a good time we both thought it was funny
Recorded in a professional studio. They play the tunes the same live. In fact Gaddy will sing, play foot Taurus pedals, or bass at the same time. The shot in the studio where the drummer is gone is just because after you lay down main tracks, you add keys, solos, vox after...
Try reacting to YYZ also no Diddy in Getty. Lee, the lead singer. Rest in peace, Neil Peart. Greatest drummer of all time in my personal opinion. And they are at their best when they are live. Trust that. And last thing I will say the video you just watched was filmed at true North studios they are Canadian trio. Yes, only three men in that band🎉 Happy New Year!
The drummer is Neal Peart (RIP), widely considered one of the greatest rock drummers of all time. Lesser known fact, he also wrote a huge amount of the music they released including many of their greatest hits.
They're recording different tracks -- at different times. The drummer disappeared because Geddy was laying the keyboard down over the top of the instrumentals.
That's Le Studio, a famous recording studio about 60 miles north of Montreal, Quebec. CANADA ( I need to remind the frenchies it's still part of Canada ! ) A lot of bands recorded there in the 70's through to the 90's, then as computers and home recording developed in the past 30 years, they slowly went out of business, and it is no longer there.
Geddy lee...who was the singer and bass player...was also on the keyboards. He recorded the keyboards after the main session and is why you don't see Neil on the drums in the background. Great reaction, kiddo!

As Geddy Lee once said : « For some people, less is more; not for us. More is more ».
Agreed.
If you thought Neil's skills were off the hook here. Check out his drum solo in Frankfurt. Your jaw will drop... fo sho!
I wouldn't recommend that solo. His performance of Cotton Tail in the early 90s is far better.
yes yes yes !!!!! u must!!

The drummer, Neil Peart, was the GOAT. He hasn't even achieved his final form here yet! His drum solos are ALL amazing.

Geddy plays the bass, sings and has pedals for synth & bass. they can reproduce this live.
It's incredible how Geddy keeps this all synchronized. all those tracks and triggers... dude is a magician.
Yes the drummer is sick. And the greatest ever.
Also the band is Rush, Tom Sawyer is the name of the track.
Change is not permanent but Change is ! That line is hard core thought brother ! Change will always be Change that is why its not permanent !
Neil is also one of rock's best lyricist of all time. Check out song like Vital signs, Middletown dreams, Witch hunt.... Bars after bars after bars, this man was a prophet and a genius !! RIP
That, sir, is the greatest drummer to have ever lived.
No doubt!
@@Imdevantewarner You haven't seen anything yet. Watch some of their most recent live stuff. Neil will blow your friggin' mind.
he would disagree my guess first and foremost as we all know neil was a great learner. but yeah im kinda with ya on this hahaha. rip mr peart and ty
This was back when people actually cared about the science as well as the art of their craft.
Neil Peart (the drummer) was also the lyricist for the majority of Rush's music. One of the greatest bands of all time...
Just scratching the surface!
Rush is a lifelong journey.

i met alex once when i was working in a hotel giftshop i was a guess late teens ofc i had tkts and knew they were staying there. much to my surprise alex strolls into the place looking around we start chatting the guy was funny af nice as anyone could be and quite real. so young me im like dude i know this sounds ridiculous but i esp brought my bass guitar its in the car i was so hoping to get it signed hes like. "what srs you brought your bass its out in your car? and of course we both start laughing bcos this is stupid af. he's like dude go get it ill sign it. so yeah that happened a long time ago. ive met some few famous types this is one of the better stories. great guy had a good time we both thought it was funny
Saw them live in L.A. in the 80's. Even better live!
Recorded in a professional studio.
They play the tunes the same live. In fact Gaddy will sing, play foot Taurus pedals, or bass at the same time.
The shot in the studio where the drummer is gone is just because after you lay down main tracks, you add keys, solos, vox after...
MORE RUSH!!
This is the training wheels song for newbies to Rush.
The best live versions with Rush is 1981 Moving Pictures tour or Rio.
If you want to see them live. Check out Xanadu live Exit Stage Left 1981. Probably the greatest live rock performance you will see.
Did ya notice Getty Lee was singer,bassist and keyboards that's a lot of music from just 3 people. Neil Peart is a phenomena
Try reacting to YYZ also no Diddy in Getty. Lee, the lead singer. Rest in peace, Neil Peart. Greatest drummer of all time in my personal opinion. And they are at their best when they are live. Trust that. And last thing I will say the video you just watched was filmed at true North studios they are Canadian trio. Yes, only three men in that band🎉 Happy New Year!
That the stidio in Mont-Trembant in Quebec.. Sting also recorded there. Unfortunatly its not there anymore.
The drummer is Neal Peart (RIP), widely considered one of the greatest rock drummers of all time. Lesser known fact, he also wrote a huge amount of the music they released including many of their greatest hits.
He wrote the lyrics, not the music. That's Alex and Geddy's job...
They're recording different tracks -- at different times. The drummer disappeared because Geddy was laying the keyboard down over the top of the instrumentals.
Neil is your favorite drummer's favorite drummer.
Facts!
Great “stank face” of approval at the end of the guitar solo Devante!
8 out of 10!! After all that praise...man tough critic✌️
That's Le Studio, a famous recording studio about 60 miles north of Montreal, Quebec. CANADA ( I need to remind the frenchies it's still part of Canada ! ) A lot of bands recorded there in the 70's through to the 90's, then as computers and home recording developed in the past 30 years, they slowly went out of business, and it is no longer there.
Geddy lee...who was the singer and bass player...was also on the keyboards. He recorded the keyboards after the main session and is why you don't see Neil on the drums in the background. Great reaction, kiddo!
Thanks for the info
My guy had the Stank Face listening to this song. Fun Fact: a *replica* of Neil Peart's (drummer) kit costs $40,000.
Watch Neil Peart drum solo Live in Frankfurt
That cabin is a recording studio. Check out I Like to Rock by April Wine and you will see it again
Pride of Canada 🇨🇦
An excellent video of Rush to watch would be Xanadu live at the Montreal forum 1981, guaranteed to blow you away.
