Rush is a most excellent live band! i believe it was the summer of '08 that i caught them in Utah during their Snakes & Arrows tour. it was an unforgettable experience, that much is true. i salute these poetic Canadian musical geniuses. Rush have definitely enhanced my life & made it that mush sweeter.
An absolute classic. Rocks like nothing else and a must-have for any road-trip playlist. I loved this song when it came out and it just gets better and better. Just an amazing song live. Made a superb closer for the R30 tour (along with 2112 and Strangiato ... what an encore .. like listening to a wet dream).
As simple as the main riff to the song is...it's so catchy. The ability to write simple things that sound great is one of the true signs of a great guitarist imo.
@jim102010 Of which I am one, and rather dedicated at that!
Class act and unlike any other band of the 20th/21st centuries. Good to see people like Dave Grohl give proper tribute to where the tribute is due. Music, American pop/rock music, has never been the same since RUSH quietly infected every thinking musician's ear with complexity and grace. And balls. Cool, titanium balls.
@The KenKens are so much better than this complete bullshit, what the fuck, Neil doesn't even know how to keep time, i am a much better drummer than that loser... Alex is a joke, can't strum properly sounds like a retarded horse with hooves playing and Geddy is a completely bad and vile joke.
@RUSHSUCKS1000 The funny thing is that your just an asshole because a video you liked had a couple of guys playing a rush riff, you just are a fan who for some reason hides his musical taste to fit in with the common boring world as for real Rush fans don't give a shit about what others think about them, they shit on your head.
@BETOPOA09 'The Camera Eye'. Now that Rush released a remix of their 'Moving Pictures' album in 5.1 I suggest you get the new 5.1 remixed album they released only about a week ago or less. Most people say the intro to 'The Camera Eye' is like a totally new song with the clarity it posses but you k
I saw them in são paulo - brazil last year and they played all album moving picture in the same quality that I saw in this video. I hope to see them one more time.
@REALCougarsRmales And still not in the Rock Hall Of Fame. How is ABBA in the Rock and Roll HOF, and these guys aren't? Thumb up for RUSH needs to be in there.
I would really like to say Rush is the greatest band ever, I really would. But Pink Floyd will always have that spot for me. Rush is #2 though! A really close #2.
@Rushguitarist1: Your comparison includes the CD versions, right? I mean ESL on CD has three masterpieces that were CRIMINALLY OMITTED from the DVD (Broon's Bane, Jacob's Ladder & La Villa Strangiato). So if the CD versions are included I'd gotta go with ESL, don't know 'bout you though. Tough call for sure.
@Armando2012102 Well, Jacob's Ladder wasn't omitted from the video in the sense that they edited it out, it simply wasn't even played on the Moving Pictures tour when the video was filmed. The entire side 2 of the original 4 album sides was recorded in Scotland on the Permanent Waves tour which wasn't filmed. The ESL, A Show of Hands, and Different Stages albums/cds all had songs from the previous tours in addition to their (then) current tours.
@Armando2012102 No, sorry. Even if they were able to release the full show Jacob's Ladder still wouldn't be there. There would be a lot of other great stuff though but the odds of them ever finding the remaining footage, and restoring, and releasing the full show are pretty slim. At least we can hope they will but even if they did JL will not be there.
@Armando2012102 A Passage to Bangkok and Jacob's Ladder would not be on the full video. La Villa Strangiato would be. In spite of the way the video looks the By-Tor/In the End/In the Mood/Grand Finale medley was not the encore, it was the end of the regular set. La Villa Strangiato was the encore. 2112 Overture/Temples, The Camera Eye, Vital Signs, Natural Science, Working Man, and two separate parts of Hemispheres would also be on video in addition to the other album songs that already aren't.
@Armando2012102 Unfortunately Cut to the Chase has never been played live. I love that song too. It still has a chance though, they usually pull out 1 older song per tour that had never been played before. They've done that with Between Sun and Moon (also from Counterparts), Entre Nous, and Presto for instance on recent tours. Your best hope for a full Moving Pictures tour show is Exit Stage Right, it's an audience bootleg but it sounds pretty darn good and has the complete show.
@xxxx15us: Exit...Stage Right! Dude, I didn't even know that existed! I wish there were more connoisseurs like you on YT. I'm definitely gonna check out the stuff you suggested. Thanks for the tip!
@Annonymus121: Thanks, man. I checked out your channel and you've got some pretty amazing stuff there. I really liked the bootleg you have of 2112 played during the PW tour. Absolutely awesome.
@Armando2012102 Also, if you want to hear Vital Signs from Exit Stage Left just search youtube for Vital Signs (Live "B"-side), it was intended for ESL but then left off for lack of space, it was officially released later though as a B-side to New World Man and most people don't even know it exists.
@jasonjpg i've been listening to bands since 1964 when i first heard the Beatles, and I've seen a lot down thru 40 some years, but none compare to the musicianship and awesome sound of RUSH. Period!
They were in there late 20's then... They accomplished more musically before their 30'th birthdays than 99.995% of all other musicians accomplish in there whole lifetimes! Rush will live forever!!! Their music is timeless!
going to see them for the 6th time since 1985,the 2nd best band off all time.Tonight they are doing the Moving pix album.EPIC SHOW 4 SHO.To the idiot calling the guy@1;10 ARE NOT GEEKS THATS how they looked in the 70's early 80's and were prob cool as hell.
This is my favorite Rush song ever, and this is the best bit of Rush ever recorded ever. Ever. Ever ever. Lovin em since I was 14, when the Rx3 DVD set came out I had just gotten 40 bucks for a schoolbook, so a course I went straight to the music shop and got the new Rush DVDs. This is too good. Geddy's bass tone...his vocals...I have to leave it at that or I'm gonna get fuckin teary!
@kingv911: Dude, you got some serious catching up to do! Check out the indescribably awesome live versions of Jacob's Ladder and La Villa Strangiato from the "Exit Stage...Left" CD.
@tdkdgh alex parents also fled here, but from siberia and for a completely different reason. he real name is Alexander Zavonavich or something along those lines
this song is so beautiful...but what i wouldnt give to see rush live,performing,and doing what they do best,er...just being rush.which is always amazing anyway;)
Oh hell yeah, the first Rush song I ever learned on guitar. Exit Stage Left is the reason I begged my parents for my first guitar when I was a kid. It was a Gibson Explorer copy out of the JC Penny's catalog. My dad bought me a $30 used amp at a garage sale and I used my birthday money to buy a MX distortion pedal.
I just don't get it... I'm talking music with my friend right now and she's into all that "hardcore" omg the singer is soooo hotttt kinda music. She's trying to tell me that that kinda music will be listened to for years.
How can you listen to that music when bands like RUSH are here to be enjoyed?
As an outcast teenager myself who was, and still prefers to be on the outside looking in , seeing these guys in Portland, OR, in 81 during this tour, i felt right at home.
Except good god alot of weed was being consumed at this concert, lol.
See those kids at 1:10? To me, they're geeks...just like me. Outcasts whose lack of fashion or trend is made up for by their ear for true musicianship. I don't know why they've always stood out to me, but to me, when I go to a Rush concert, I don't see tons of chicks throwing their bras like at a Crue show. No, I see people like me...a lot of ex-geeks who just love good music and have that common outcast bond. That's why Subdivisions is the one song that speaks to me more than any other.
This DVD intro is too good! real cinematic experience!

Oh hell yeah, the first Rush song I ever learned on guitar. Exit Stage Left is the reason I begged my parents for my first guitar when I was a kid. It was a Gibson Explorer copy out of the JC Penny's catalog. My dad bought me a $30 used amp at a garage sale and I used my birthday money to buy a MX distortion pedal.
My current setup is a bit more sophisticated.

I just don't get it... I'm talking music with my friend right now and she's into all that "hardcore" omg the singer is soooo hotttt kinda music. She's trying to tell me that that kinda music will be listened to for years.
How can you listen to that music when bands like RUSH are here to be enjoyed?

Rush is the best, technically perfect, and great to dance to.

As an outcast teenager myself who was, and still prefers to be on the outside looking in , seeing these guys in Portland, OR, in 81 during this tour, i felt right at home.
Except good god alot of weed was being consumed at this concert, lol.

See those kids at 1:10? To me, they're geeks...just like me. Outcasts whose lack of fashion or trend is made up for by their ear for true musicianship. I don't know why they've always stood out to me, but to me, when I go to a Rush concert, I don't see tons of chicks throwing their bras like at a Crue show. No, I see people like me...a lot of ex-geeks who just love good music and have that common outcast bond. That's why Subdivisions is the one song that speaks to me more than any other.
