The only band that makes me well up with pride and honour to be a fan. Music that moves me to the bone. Lucky enough to see them in the 80,s....The greatest.....!

@@TitanBP I am pretty sure it was Permanent Waves. Willing to be corrected. I think they had an album in mind tentatively to be called Sir Gwain, but nothing clicked.

Dude, NO guitar 🎸 player EVER overlooked Alex. The late Dimebag Derrel said he spent an entire week learning Villa. Not because he needed to but because "I HAD to learn that song or else my life was over." Now THAT is giving some serious props.

For all of us that still mourn Neil. I decided to think of his passing this way. I took the words of Van Morrison and declared that Neil had simply passed "into the mystic.". It was the only way I could process his death.
Hi, I agree. There's something about Neil's passing that still brings tears to my eyes. We've had ALOT of great one's pass the past few years. But something about Neil's death is soooo very personal....
The clouds prepare for battle In the dark and brooding silence Bruised and sullen storm clouds Have the light of day obscured Looming low and ominous In twilight premature Thunderheads are rumbling In a distant overture All at once, The clouds are parted Light streams down In bright unbroken beams Follow men's eyes As they look to the skies The shifting shafts of shining Weave the fabric of their dreams

Rush was the only band that didn't sit on their larels and got stuck making the same songs for money, and that makes them the best band in music history
Mine too. As Permanent Waves is also my favorite album...with my favorite artwork! This is the album that did me in and made RUSH my favorite band. Still is.
Simply gobsmacking, the track that made me "get" Rush 40 years ago, when I got this album. Today we had a mega rainstorm after weeks and weeks of dry, windy weather. I thought of Neil and smiled at the storm clouds.
I have been a Rush fan since I was 12 years old. The minute I heard Hemispheres I was committed! I have been a Rush fan for 44 years now and will be until I leave this mortal existence. These three great men were legends in their own time! The music is timeless! Thank you my brothers for enriching my life throughout, with each timeless song, another piece of the puzzle was revealed! I am forever grateful! I hope in the next life I will find this music waiting for me, and my brothers playing it! All my love ❤❤
Sou do Brasil, mais específicamente do Rio de janeiro, e fã desde sempre da banda. Quando eles vieram aqui no Maracanã parecia um sonho. Anos mais tarde pude rever o rush mais uma vez na minha cidade e isso não há dinheiro que pague.
Gen Z mf here. The only concert I've been to was Rush40. A little late to truly appreciate the band, but it was one of the best experiences in my life. I grew up listening to that, and I loved every bit of it. Also, it was my birthday gift, since I was turning 9 the very next day. Yeah, I'm young, I know.
I as a drummer and lyricist was so excited to have had the opportunity to play this song with the first band I was in for my high school talent show back in February 2020, right before COVID entered the fold. It was the first song we ever played live as a recording, performing band. We were between 16 and 18 years old at the time, the five of us. I'm almost 20 now, but even still, after listening to this song for over 10 years (my dad got me hooked on Rush at an early age), I listen today and I'm still just as blown away by the genius of Rush and their sense of feel, texture, innovation and creativity as I was when I first heard this several years ago. I can only hope that the music I write today comes even close to representing my appreciation for Rush, this song and Progressive music. Not many people in my age demographic listen to Prog, let alone even know what it is, but I do have a guitarist friend who loves this music as well and who I met in high school, as well as a buddy we both know who plays Keyboards, and we want to fill out the rest of our line-up. Rush, Saga, Dream Theater and Symphony X among countless others are who we look up to. I don't mean to self-promo, but I just want to share how many areas of the world these guys (Rush) have touched, and in several ways. 🙏 Love from Toronto, Canada 👋🇨🇦
I absolutely love this album. Jacob's Ladder is probably one of the most underrated songs of theirs. There is something about that song that sends shivers up and down my spine.
I miss Rush so much...... like old "friends" that always came around no matter what....... even though we never met and there was no connection or anything.... they were always there.............. Sorry that's gone now. That's all I can say........
I always thought the same thing about Rush. Even though they may not know every single fan in the physical, logical sense, I feel like they know each of us in their heart and spirits. And even if Neil has passed on, he's always with us and we will never be apart. ❤
This album came out when I was in 10th grade my 2nd year playing guitar and Jacobs ladder was one of the first riffs I learned. I played this album over and over and over. It's one of my favorite Rush albums to this day.
Heading straight into a very good thunderstorm I played this one for my wife. It was sooo timely with the dark clouds and lightning and thunder was perfect timing.
I havent heard this for decades but now I hear it , the brilliance of this epic masterpiece is even more abundant! " Follow mens eyes as they look to the skies , the shifting shafts of shining weave the fabric of their dreams.."
Rush's crew doesn't get much love because they're not "the guys," at least from what I've seen and read. Glad they got some love here, particularly "Herns!" ❤
Such a visionary track - with this being a 1980 release, it had the weight of the 70's behind it. A decade that began with men landing on the moon, vacuum tubes ruling the (air) waves, and V8s drinking themselves down the highway. Standing at the end of it and looking towards the 80s, Rush cut away all of the fat and bloat but instead of the back-to-basics primitivism of punk, they streamlined it with the flair of the designer and the vision of the space shuttle, swapping tubes for solid state, pressed steel for carbon fibre and dropping pure cylinders and mating the savings with turbos. It was evolution, not revolution, meaning all the power and learning is kept whilst the drive to succeed does not cease. Those synth melodies could have come off a Kraftwerk track, and yet they merge beautifully with the guitar which swaps from adding-machine precision to waves of self expression amidst the rock solid rhythms of the bass and percussion.
Saw this during waves tour 1980. The Lights in Bright unbroken beams were so intense. Filled the whole place. Crowd went nuts. One of their best effects ever.
Absolutely TIMELESS, is this. Will never get old and the last people to be still on this earth come Armageddon, will still be trying to play it on whatever they can, when the world calls out to them.
I was 15 years old when this LP came out. One of the first albums I ever purchased when I joined Columbia House and RCA Music Club. I grew to appreciate Rush in the decades since, but "Permanent Waves" got me into them. "Spirit Of Radio" was the first track I heard from them.
Who remembers the moment when Geddy introduced this song on the R40 tour? I had gone in without knowing anything about the setlist, and just about shit my pants when he introduced this one.
@@neighborbruce That would be great if you can check it out! It was Tinley Park/Chicago. I definitely remember them playing it! I'm also convinced they did Which Hunt. I didn't know the song title at the time, knew it was from Moving Pictures, so found it on the album the next day. Thank you in advance!
@@chicagohoosier1 the official tour history book doesn't day anything about Jacob's Ladder or Witch Hunt being performed on that tour or at that show. Its possible you guys are thinking of Natural Science? Maybe you guys had a few drinks that night too :)
@@neighborbruce haha...thought about that too! I was sick and had taken some Tylenol, though I was very aware 🙂. They definitely did those songs. Strange they're not listed. Could have been a one off deviation from the planned setlist. Thank you for checking!
I had the pleasure to listen to this on a very high quality sound system as a teenager (thanks François!!!) and it was simply out of this world. Simply fantastic music that moves you. Thanks Rush.
This is one of my favorite Rush songs and Permanent Waves is one of my favorite CDS. One of the best rock bands the world has ever seen. Neil Peart was the greatest drummer the Prog Rock world has ever seen. He will be sorely missed. RIP
To me, this song represents everything that is great about RUSH. Great vocals, great lyrics, everyone in perfect coordination with each other through intense time changes and smoking riffs, thundering bass, and incredible drum fills.
2112 introduced me to rush. I’m almost 60 and still listen to them everyday. RIP Neil.
Born 1966 and still love the music of Rush.
@@zh123456 64 for me and i'll never not love them.

I'm 63. Caress of Steel was my first exposure, but 2112 made me a fan for life.
Every new ear buds or headphones I get are tested first with Jacob's Ladder!
There are so many great songs on this album that I just think this one really gets overlooked.. sooo good.

Part of a very small number of songs/bands that are actually "timeless" in every sense of the word
Natural science is prophecy .
Alex once said Permanent Waves was the album that Rush truly became Rush.
He’s right.
Didnt he say that about moving pictures? Or was that neil?
@@TitanBP I am pretty sure it was Permanent Waves. Willing to be corrected. I think they had an album in mind tentatively to be called Sir Gwain, but nothing clicked.

Neil Peart said that about Moving pictures
For me, Rush had been Rush since "Fly By Night". The most memorable songs are the ones pre 1980's.
However, this album was their biggest to date at the time of its release.
Alex always got so overlooked but man does he completely destroy in this song. One of my favourites.

Not because he needed to but because "I HAD to learn that song or else my life was over." Now THAT is giving some serious props.

@@caseyjones9716 Alex still gets often overlooked in the context of Rush, I mean, most people praise Geddy`s bass playing and Neil`s drumming (which are both outstanding as well) but forget how amazing guitarist Alex is.
The only band where the lead guitarist is the most overlooked player!
Best song from the album to me, a MASTERPIECE in nearly all aspects
No doubt.
One of the heaviest Rush songs
If you stopped listening at this album, sure
Driven, BU2B, Secret Touch, and more: 👁👄👁
2:30
Stick It Out is heavier than this. If you mean heavy thematically, yes. Musically? No.
This song is decades ahead of its time. More juice in 7 minutes than some bands in their entire careers.
This and Natural Science are Master Pieces that were overlooked at the time because of their long play time.
💯
Many of us Deadheads love Rush too, and especially the long songs and great lyrics!!
For all of us that still mourn Neil. I decided to think of his passing this way. I took the words of Van Morrison and declared that Neil had simply passed "into the mystic.". It was the only way I could process his death.

My dearest friend turned me on to Rush back in 1980 i was 13 year's old & this was the track that got me hooked! Been a fan ever since
The clouds prepare for battle
In the dark and brooding silence
Bruised and sullen storm clouds
Have the light of day obscured
Looming low and ominous
In twilight premature
Thunderheads are rumbling
In a distant overture
All at once,
The clouds are parted
Light streams down
In bright unbroken beams
Follow men's eyes
As they look to the skies
The shifting shafts of shining
Weave the fabric of their dreams
Neal was a perfectionist and it shows in Rushes music - we will not experience a Trio like this-so lucky!!
What he said at 4:19 ?? Thanks
Translate this please. What is it a metaphor for? Back story?

One of the best songs of the band, really underrated.
Rush was the only band that didn't sit on their larels and got stuck making the same songs for money, and that makes them the best band in music history
🤘🏾 I can dig it! Gotta respect the commitment to convictions and passion for music and music creation.
I'd add Bauhaus to that list.
Amen to the Rush comment
Apart from the Beatles maybe!
@@andrewarmitage9491 you know what that’s a good point. I never thought of it like that. And I’m not even a Beatles fan.

Neil wasn't just a good drummer. He was a wizard with the drum kit!
And he had one of the nicest drum kits ever created!
Definitely with two wands..
He was "your favorite drummer's favorite drummer." AKA The Professor.
@michaelpatuto10 sometimes he seemed to have more than just four limbs!
ALL THE BAND
It’s hard to keep up with Neil’s lyrics. He’s so damn brilliant, it hurts my brain. Unchallenged in song structure. The best.
RIP Neil. You were the greatest drummer in rock history, not John bonham
Best Rush album probably listened to it 1000 times !!
Agree, this was their best :-)
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO NOT EVEN CLOSE

Das interesant song Rush inteligent .
