Thanks for watching no kizzy, drop what y’all want me to react to next!😎
Not for nothing, but you've reacted to enough RUSH songs, that being a college freshman, should know the two guitarists names at this point. [No Cap... lol]. Just playin, but you'll want to know at some point because all three are in the Hall of Fame. Easiest homework you'll ever have, I promise.
Bro you have to react to just by run the jewels trust u wont be disappointed
I like your hoodie ... I react to him too. Keep exploring, you are gonna have a super wild ride in other genres of music.
I'll turn you onto another Canadian band that also started out as "Power Trio" and that band is called TRIUMPH. Started mid 70's. They were overshadowed by RUSH. Another underrated Canadian band with all killer musicians at their craft:
Rik Emmett - Lead Guitars , Lead and Back up Vocals
Gil Moore - Drums, Lead and Back up Vocals
Mike Levine - Bass, Back Up Vocals
Rock and Roll Machine (US Festival 1983) th-cam.com/video/sFwd6lFeMTE/w-d-xo.html

Lay it on the Line (Live in Halifax, NS, 1987) th-cam.com/video/jkx47Zsyicc/w-d-xo.html
I was at THAT concert in 1987. One of the best Rock concerts I've ever been to other than Judas Priest.
Rock on and Peace out from New Brunswick, Canada. Stay safe and covid free.
@@TheCanuck1962 Yes- Triumph!! I only got to see them once on the Thunder Seven tour but it’s up there with the best shows I’ve seen aside from Rush (6 times)- and April Wine was up there too. Must be something in that Canadian water haha!...
“It sounds like different songs”. That’s because they played the intro to at least a half dozen songs, going all the way back to their first album before ending with a GREAT performance of “Spirit of Radio”. And Geddy Lee (the dark haired guitarist, lol) not only plays bass guitar AND sings, but he also plays keyboard with his feet ALL AT THE SAME TIME!! So...yeah...this is why the RUSH Army always says that RUSH is more musically talented than any other band in the world...EVER!! Great reaction video, young fella. I really enjoy your reactions.
I thought it was so cool how they did that, playing 1 song from each album in chronological order. Absolutely incredible 🔥🔥🔥
It's called a "Medley" for good reason... The best of a career that within the context of the day, it was dismissed by the Rock Press of that era... Funny how 40 plus years on, Rush is still as relevant as they ever were!!
@@leddygee1896 🤷🏾♀️ Same as it ever was... 😍 And I wouldn't want it any other way! 😊🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny
This is called R30 Overture. A medley of “Finding My Way,” “Anthem,” “Bastille Day“, “A Passage to Bangkok,” “Cygnus X-1,” “Hemispheres,” appearing on R30: 30th Anniversary World Tour www.rush.com/songs/r30-overture/
And they where leaving music or atleast performing. They are also extremely universal. The words some are shake spear and some are little bible verses, on and on. Just amazing and never wanting to sell out to the masses for $$$$$, that's what set them apart from others...Spirt of Radio, subdivitions, Limelight are the more radio played. They played for us. We are a strong RUSH following...maybe you'll join us..No Cap.
I took my brother to this concert for his birthday.
He recently passed away, but I will always remember what he called
" The best birthday ever". RIP Wes- my brother and best friend.
sorry for tour loss
I love watching a new generation find and fall in love with the greatest three man band to ever grace a stage. Keep digging! There is 40 years worth of Rush to explore.
This is the "R30 Overture" from their 2004 R30 tour. A medley composed of one song taken from each of their first 6 albums: Finding My Way (Rush); Anthem (Fly by Night); Bastille Day (Caress of Steel); A Passage to Bangkok (2112); Cygnus X-1 (A Farewell to Kings); Hemispheres (Hemispheres)....then going into The Spirit of Radio (full song), which is the first track from their 7th album, Permanent Waves....no cap.
Edit: the instrumental parts they repeat are called "riffs"
Thanks. I was having trouble placing the 2nd one. I knew every note but couldn't think of the name.
I vote that Jojo has to listen to all the songs from the medley next, just to see the tasty bits he missed.
No Cap! 😒 Was secretly hoping for a 50th Anniversary Tour.... 😞 RIP Professor 🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny
OK - I almost wrote an identical comment. I'm not going to click "Comment"
Nice breakdown and explanation of the songs. If you didn't do it I was going to. LOL
Geddy sings, plays bass guitar, and kicks peddles for synthesizer. Then he changes it, he throws the bass aside, sings and plays the keyboard while stepping on bass peddles. And it goes like that for the next two and a half hours. Iv had seats right in front of him and it is/was and always will be phenomenal.
In order to understand this intro you have to realise that every single one of these riffs were the opening riffs to a lot of their songs.
Oh my gosh you're killing me no cap!! No one has ever compared Neil to a Ninja turtle but you're so right!!!🤣🤣🤣
Jojo….more than anything, it is the drummer's job to keep the band's tempo. Being a drummer for the past 38 years, I cannot stress this enough. If the drummer can keep the band in time, anything over and above that is gravy! Neil Peart had pot full of gravy and a wicked ladle he served it with.
The drummer is the skeleton of the band. Holds everything together and gives it structure
JoJo, love your reactions! Geddy Lee on bass and vocals and Alex Lifeson is the guitar god. Neil is playing roto toms that have a congo sound. You also get a good shot of Geddy playing some synths with his feet. Greatest band of all time!
I would say that they are the best musicians ever there is nobody else like them
It's a compilation of so many of their songs...and it's freaking awesome!
I think the idea behind this song was to add to, “The Spirit if Radio,” as if you were tuning the radio at the beginning looking for a hit song and all you get is old Rush radio hits! Gotta be 10 songs in there! Not many bands can take 10 songs and use them for an into and still fill the other 165 minutes if their concert! Yes, the 2 concerts I got to go to were 3 hours long with a little intermission in the middle... 😜
I've been a Rush fan since day 1, and what amazes me the most is the full sound 3 people can generate. They have been the best of friends throughout their career, and, I'm guessing, they had a similar relationship with their "roadies".
Now, have fun finding and reacting to each song they performed in this medley! Bringing me back in time.
With a 40 year music selection, you can't hear all of it in a 3 hour concert.
RUSH was like, here hold my beer.
RUSH was like, hold my beer, eh?
Fixed that for you. ;-)
"What's he playing with his feet?" Organ pedals. They typically produce a droning bass note, although I think he's using them here to trigger synthesizer chords. Like a keyboard for your feet.
"The wiggly thing with the guitar." Is called a tremolo bar, or "whammy bar." As you noted, it's used to quickly and aggressively bend the pitch of a note.
Technical name for the foot pedals is "Taurus" pedals. Imagine one octave of a keyboard, but mapped for your feet instead of your fingers. The original Taurus unit Rush used in the 70's had its own analog synth unit built into it, but Geddy is using a modern version by Roland that he plugs into an external synth to give him whatever sample he wants via MIDI.
The pedals Geddy uses also trigger samples of parts they just can’t reproduce just the three of them on stage. It’s not a cheat if you’re using samples of yourself.
Yes. They can also program sounds into it. At the end, there is a piano Chord Emaj followed by a glissando, basically, a thumb dragged down the white keys from right to left, that Geddy, the dark haired one, played for the album, but here triggers it with a touch of the foot cuz, ya know, playing bass and singing already.
Plus, can i just say, i lost my shit when ya started clapping. Was laughing my ass off; ya got it right away. You screwed, yer one of us now!! Welcome to the family ✌️
Anyone else feel like he might be ready for Hemispheres ?
no
@@Peart5220 Lol.
At a restaurant, this would be a sampler plate of Rush.
😂🤣😂🤣 Riiiiiight?!? 😋 🍽🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny
You know you are good when your bassist plays the “air drums”.
RUSH!
Seeing as how nobody has mentioned it. When Geddy Lee started using modelling software and thus did away with the need to use actual amplifiers his part of the stage looked really empty.
So as a joke he put down tumble dryers, soda machines and sometimes automatic grills, all in perfect working order. The Tumble Dryers would be filled with tour shirts which when the show was over would be given to the audience. The crew would actually mike the machines up.
Rush concerts, in the later years, were a 3+ hour event with no opening act. This is an 11 minute melody of all the great songs that, unfortunately, didn't make the cut for this particular concert.
Best intro video THE TIME MACHINE TOUR. Comedy video starring our 3 boys in GERSHON'S HAUS OF SAUSAGE (nobody beats our sausage) trying to find the best version of the spirit of radio, followed by a great live performance of Spirit of radio.
I still like the opening to The Weapon with Count Floyd. Alex trying to breakdance is funny
That polka version is so funny
One of the greatest bands of all time! Neil Peart R.I.P. No other band will ever compare. They loved making music and loves their fans.
Rush were previously known for playing a medley of older songs at the end of their shows. For their 30th Anniversary shows they switched it up & started with a medley of some older songs that they hadn't played in a while. I saw them on this tour at the NEC in Birmingham UK & this opening blew me away especially hearing snippets of Bastille Day & Anthem.
Michael Atkinson
I was at that show too - in fact every UK date 👍🤘😎
Absolutely nobody get’s down like “the holy trinity”
SICK! I've never seen anyone cover the R30 Overture!

Rock isn't supposed to make you feel angry. It's supposed to make you express whatever emotion you already feel and maybe bring up to a more positive emotion. If you're angry, it's an outlet. If you're sad, it's a coping mechanism. If you're happy, it's a celebration!
Back in the "olden" days when musicians actually practiced their instruments to get good. No DJs here!!!
They absolutely still do..
Geddy Lee - Bass, Vocals, Keys, & Foot Pedals
Alex Lifeson - Guitars, Back-up Vocals, & Foot Pedals
Neil Peart - All things Percussion and Lyric Writer

Fixed it for you. :)
This is actually 7 songs in one. One song from each of their first seven studio albums. Finding My Way from their debut album, Anthem from Fly By Night, Bastille Day from Caress of Steel, A Passage To Bangkok from 2112, Cygnus X-1 from A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres from Hemispheres, and The Spirit of Radio from Permanent Waves.
I went nuts when they started playing Bastille Day. The entire crowd was singing Anthem at the show I was at.
@@raygowan1968 Yes great stuff and Jerry Stiller was happy they played Bangkok.
Surprisingly, it's not always Neil keeping the tempo, many times Alex is carrying the time signature, while Neil gets to go wild.
The blond guitarist is Alex Lifeson.
The bass player and lead singer is Geddy Lee.
And you know who the drummer is...
I LOVE watching reaction videos of Rush. It's like watching it for the first time all over again. Excellent commentary, sir.
All my best to you!
P.S. as to the "congo drums", those are concert toms (like you might see with a marching band), tuned to a very high pitch. The high tuning of the drum allows the sound that comes out of it to "ring" at a higher pitch I(more like a "crack!").
Awesome to see your enthusiasm for one of the greatest bands ever and arguable the best live concert experience I've been to.
Their ability to play complex music and hit the transitions perfectly each time live for nearly 3 hours is unmatched.
I can tell you dig Rush so down the rabbit hole you go 😀
Bastille Day.... Just love that beginning!!
They called it “intro” cause it was the intro to a SET at the concert- bro- they have SO MUCH music and songs spanning over 40 years- they were just trying to give a sampling of the early stuff cause that’s what the fans wanted to hear
I love this format because make Jo Jo is real , funny, and has charisma. Music is medicine for the soul. Thanks. FERNANDO the
PERUVIAN LAKER FAN
Please listen to and enjoy "Leave That Thing Alone" Rush jam you will love
It is the ultimate Rush roller coaster - it is the intro to six songs from six different albums, an unbroken, perfectly transitioned journey through a catalog of songs, finally winding up in Spirit Of Radio. The guitarist (and vocals, and foot pedals) is Alex Lifeson. He's one of the best guitarists alive.
You have 40 years of rabbit hole to discover. RUSH RULES thank you for your reactions. Good times!
Not only is this intro lit. Your reaction is lit to go with it. You always put a nice humor to your reactions. And Rush were masters of doing transitions but bringing back to where the song started. They are indeed poets and playwrights of Rock music
This IS the best intro to the SPIRIT OF RADIO. You've reacted to the song a minute ago but, to my knowledge, you reacted to the song with animation. You'll have a, "Oh shit, that's the same song" moment, if you haven't had one already. Your awesome and fun to watch because I know what is coming (I'm old, lol... or should I say "no cap").

Absolutely love watching your videos ! Being a drummer I have been a Rush fan from the beginning ! Glad to know Rush is gaining new fans all the time !
Great reaction!! As you’ve see. In the comments below, this is a medley of 6 different songs from earlier in their career. With 30 yrs and about 16 albums (at the time of this video which is the 30 year reunion) The hardest thing for them to do is pick a set list! They do a 3 hour show and can’t get to a lot of songs the fans want to hear, so they do these medleys to get some songs played that they wouldn’t have time to do in the regular set list. Really creative how they are able to “sew them all together” as you said! Just brilliant musicians! FYI: those are synth pedals Geddy (dark hair) is playing in the video. Alex (blonde hair) plays them sometimes too and even Neil can set up triggers on his drum set to play a keyboard sequence! They are all participating in all aspects of the songs! Two of them you were really rockin out to were “Hemispheres” and “A Passage to Bankok” (which is about a dream of theirs to travel around and smoke the best weed from all around the world)...great song!! Check them out!
So you know, this video should have started with Jerry Stiller. If you get a chance, find the complete video.
This is from their 30th anniversary tour (R30). The opening you heard is comprised of snippets of several of their songs over the course of 30 years. In the background on the screen you may have noticed they displayed photos of the boys from over that 30 years.
"they never play Bangkok" RIP Jerry and Neil

The instrument he played with his feet are foot pedals that trigger keyboard/synth sounds. This enables Geddy Lee to play bass and keyboards at the same time in many Rush songs.
The "wiggly thing" on the guitar is known as a tremelo arm or whammy bar. It allows the strings on the guitar to be stretched or relaxed (changing their pitch) to create differing vibrato sounds.
I am enjoying watching a young man begin his journey into the lush wonderland that is Rush.
Welcome to the addiction. If you like Rush, you'll probably enjoy Yes, as well (probably the older stuff more than the the later stuff).
It has been said that drummers use metronomes, but, metronomes use Neil Peart.
Well said.
I kind of dig where you were going with saying Neil was laying it down or holding it together, but they all were. There is a reason that a three legged chair never teeters.
Love your channel. Homie. Rush is simply the best. Been listening to this music for years.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 *You Killin It!*
I love Alex’s guitar tone. So much grit to it. Really punches you in the earholes
You nailed it when you said Genius, well THREE GENIUSES 😀
Once again very perceptive. The intro is a medley of intros from various songs from their beginnings. Also, they are first and foremost virtuoso musicians. They do write music like one would write lyrics. How you were explaining writing a hook to a song is a good analogy of that. I enjoy your reactions to my favorite band. RIP Neil!
I’m so excited about your reaction. That’s how I felt the first time I heard them!
They both play Taurus Pedals with there feet. Like keyboards for your feet. Mind Blown. On the Guitar it's his Tremolo bar. Gives the note vibrato.
No cap bro, your reactions are lit and you are a very perceptive young man!
Dude. I like your reactions. Im 65 yrs old. I grew up on this music. Still listen to it. Im a musician and still play it never grows old!
Another band you should check out, listen and react to is: BOSTON!!!
If you like Rush you’ll definitely like BOSTON!!!
Hope to see some BOSTON REACTIONS SOON!!!
The tune ROCK-n-ROLL.
Great place to start!
And. Both RUSH AND BOSTON have their own channel on SIRIUS XM!!!
Keep Rockin my friend!!!!
That intro is a combination of several of their best songs. Songs are about everything from smoking pot, outer space to the French Revolution.
I’ve seen them twice, and let me tell you... probably the best band I’ve seen!
Jojo!!
I so love watching you experience the incredible trio that is RUSH.
Hippies, transiting headbangers like myself.
I get the biggest kick out of your expressions!
Rock on kiddo!
Still strongly recommend
Savatage!
Enjoy your reaction videos, ty for them! RUSH!!!!!!
The R30 Overture is how they opened every show on this 2004 30th anniversary tour. Someone else listed each of the six song intros stitched together before The Spirit of Radio. One song off each of the first seven studio albums, in order.
Geddy has Taurus bass pedal to play bass while playing keyboards, and he can switch it to playing synth parts with his foot while playing bass.
It's an intro, in that it eventually leads into "Spirit of Radio", but technically this can be better called an "Overture". It's a small sample of many of their most recognizable songs, mainly the intros of each. Very likely, most if not all of those song bits will be played again later in the concert in their entirety. This just hypes the crowd to expect those songs later.
Most definitely feel good music, anouther great rush video
Little Brotha'...If Neil Peart hadn't joined Rush when he did in July 1974... Rush as a band would not exist. Neil Peart in charge Indeed!! GOAT. Rest easy Professor...
It would take me a while to name every Rush song the just medlied. WOW! JoJo, thanks!
Jojo...........lovin' your Rush reaction videos!
7:03
Yes..........now that's the power of Geddy's base movin' your soul, Jojo!
Jo jo check out Dream Theater. They started out covering Rush so they have a similar feel but are NOT Rush. Their song Pull Me Under is a great place to start. Love watching you! Your reactions are on point!
Saying RUSH blows your mind is like saying.........well RUSH IS mind blowing. You’re starting to get it. That’s just the level they are on. They only go up. Up! Up! And Away!
Those foot pedals are a Moog Taurus II. Geddy and Alex use them both to add instruments and sequences in such as strings, pianos, bass notes and other SFX.
You went down the rush rabbit hole. I’ve been seeing a lot of your rush vids pop up.
I envy this kid
Getting too hear all this music for the first time
Love that you got Neil's last name right! What a legend
It is indeed a medley before the song starts.
The one with the black hair, he ain't doing much .... yet!! LOL keep it up. Love your reviews!
An 11 minute intro of a 3 1/2 show that I had the privilege of seeing on the 30th anniversary tour. More like 12 songs stitched together .
The reason it sounds like bits from a bunch of songs stitched together… is because it’s bits from a bunch of songs stitched together. 😂 It’s a medley of parts from five songs leading into the full The Spirit of Radio. 👍🏻
It's an Overture
A good drummer keeps time for the whole band.
this sounds like a medley of a bunch of their songs. neil peart writes the songs, getty lee (black hair) sings and plays bass and synth, alex leifson plays guitar
This could have been titled, "An introductory medley of the themes of all the songs we wanted to fit into this show, but since we're going to be here for two hours already, we just gave you a teaser of all of them before going into Spirit of Radio."
Their music is usually aspirational - saying, “we could be this good, if we try.”
Of course Neil kept the band in line. That's the drummer's job. He sets a rock steady, dead on the money beat for the others to follow. Neil just did it with more flair and creativity than most drummers could muster. He not only had the ability to maintain a steady beat for the songs they played, he could actually play melodies on the drum kit. That made him "the Professor".
Oh, and by the way, this intro sounds like different songs because that's exactly what it is. They took segments from a lot of their songs and turned it into a montage intro. When I saw them play 25 years ago they started their show with an into like this. They played a little bit of each song, then proceeded to play each song in it's entirety. It was basically an intro to what they were going to play throughout the course of the evening. Sheer brilliance.
Glorious, man. That's what that is.
Thank you for understanding young man. Welcome to the club.
Yes it's the begennings amd bridges of several older rush songs and yes they be some viciously aggressive musicians
I agree with the other comments it was a history lesson of songs from the past .
I nm miss you JoJo ..can't find you ..for a year .til now
Geddy Lee (brown hair) is an awesome bassist
Saying Neil keeps tempo is like saying gravity is on again today!
Your reaction is the BEST.
This is a medley of intros from 7 songs on 7 different albums. They went in order from their debut album (Rush) through to Permanent Waves where they played all of Spirit of Radio. 7 intros in all.
Ahhhhh, the Beethovens of Rock n' Roll
It's not just Neil, it's Neil and Getty the bass and the drums keeping that back beat and then Alex ads the spice
The 70s and 80s best music ever
Rush is a superband that didn't have to recruit from any other bands. At their peak, I'd say Alex was the best guitar player of his day, Geddy is probably the greatest rock bass player of all time, and Neil was the greatest drummer after John Bonham.
It's a medley of some of their best older songs that I'm guessing Geddy couldn't sing high enough for any more. For the fans.
He was playing the keyboard with his foot while playing the bass. That bar on the guitar is called a wammy bar it stretches the strings a little when using it.
Check out The Garden by Rush on the Clockwork Angels Tour. Lyrics are by Neil Peart (he wrote most of their lyrics) and it's the last song on their last album.. what an ending. You'll see a very different side of Rush!
