Rush - Animate 3-22-1994

[Divinitium]

I raped the replay button ...

[67glowbug]

Rush is not given the respect they deserve, and I don't know why. I've been listening to them since the mid 70's. This is a killer song. Thanks for the video.

[j88k001]

I love Alex Lifeson's "Dumb and Dumber" haircut!! Epic track!!

[Cygnus2112YYZ]

@j88k001 Alex Lifeson = Jeff Daniels, Neil Peart = Tom Hanks & Geddy Lee = John Lennon

[josocNiburu]

Woooowwww!!!!!!!!! I love Rush

[Bili170]

sweet..sweet back to good 1994 old days ....and I was 18 ;)

[Rejexx]

One of their most underrated songs I fell. I was knocked out by it first time I heard it.

[RUSHallthewayable]

SAME HERE!!!!

[TimmyCrackCorn]

And great bass players don't use picks! ;-) Go Ged!!!

[TheClockworkDevil]

Fuck, this song kicks ass. I love the chorus, sends shivers down my spine.

[chaumont20]

Great Video ! The lyrics ring more true day after day. One of Rush's best songs. Thank you very much for this video.

[dadwit4shorties]

Technically speaking, if you rate them on musical ability and lyrical content, they are right at the top of the list with Zepplin. They lack the sex appeal Rock God status that Zep set back in the day. Rush is sooooo very underrated and really folks, emotions aside, the trio NOT only BELONGS in the Rock HOF but they should be HEADLINING IT!!!

[MrBillAMiller]

@dadwit4shorties they blow past zep on lyrical content

[LiquidSatan]

Is there a website to obtain these videos?? Not to just watch but to own.

[sCUNThorPENIS]

The bass on all of these 3-22-1994 videos sounds so damn fruity!

[renanqribeiro]

Great song, I would like to see this song again in the setlist.

[0Sirk0]

back when people knew what music was

[dgray72]

Thank you for the tunes, you crazy Canadians! Keep rockin'...

[Maniaca2112]

The final vocals gives me the creep! awesome Geddy you take us to the most glorious places in your heart, thank you!!!

[Maniaca2112]

Nobody sounds like Geddy

He is the man!

[crb5009]

Best band in Rock and of all time!

[Inthescissor]

Is this from a dvd?

[countroshculla]

Been a fan for 19 years.

[rocker4ever11]

[RafitoOoO]

[eddiegumm2]

the best band in the world by far

[scrumtrelescent007]

[Grandios59]

Rush reads:

[Kurtlifeson]

A PRS BOLT ON NECK BLACK

AMAZING FOOTAGE

THANZ!

[RafitoOoO]

why is there a dislike button?

[matheusfachini]

Its a Paul Reed Smith, probably a Custom 24. That's the model he based his sound upon during the 90s

[brosco80]

i was at this show

[leonardinsky]

I really love this great song!!!

[leonardinsky]

I really love this great song!!!

[HouseOfThunder1982]

[Masherbrum]

I was at this show! 

[rotoplasmetalstorm]

that guitar is a Paul Reed Smith , very nice and expensive instruments

[VenumosFate]

the beginning of neils drums are killer.

[chaosx100]

I was at this show. I was 16. Only time seeing

Rush and I was blown away.

[HAKKY2112]

@chaosx100

Well I suggest you go and see them again!

: )

[dwilmer7]

One of the best song Rush has ever written.

[pokerface523]

alex lifeson

[mikedrewmack]

[hendrixfabio]

I love this album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Counterparts is one of the best album i've ever heard!

Thanks for posting this great video!

[PanaceaSJBR]

Hey guys, we're a rising rock band, and we'd appreciate it if you'd listen to us, we really just want to spread the word of us. Thanks!

[TheFunnyMan9113]

I just went and saw RUSH for the first time last night, and I couldn't believe that I've been listening to them this long and haven't ever heard 3 of the songs that they played. I really have to get all their albums.

[animatemusic]

great band !!!!

[mateuslamin1]

beautiful 

[tbird8174]

Hi! King Lerxst is playing a PRS. I was at this show! I thank you for posting all these amazing videos! I could be wrong, but I believe this model he is playing is a StopTail 24. It's definitely a PRS. Thanx again for posting amazing videos of Rush!

[tbird8174]

I was at this show! I was blown away by the mix, as I was about 10 rows back on the floor. King Lerxst is playing a Paul Reed Smith. I believe it is the 24 StopTail Model. I could be wrong about the model, but it is definitely a PRS. Thank you for posting these awesome Rush videos! It's truly awesome! Thanks!

[plopowitz]

geddy is funky as hell!!!

[garyfiguer]

EXCELENTE !!

[zegato2006]

Puta que pariu!

Rush= FREAKING AMAZING, i dont know any band better than these guys. i love them all so much, Amazing music, Amazing lyrics. Freaking amazing Drums and Bass lines. and Freaking amazing guitar riffs, cords, etc.. Rush Forever!

[paul44miles]

This is vintage Rush right here. a great song from the Counterparts album.

[BDizDaBest]

Absolutely stellar performance. Rush is the best.

[zegato2006]

A música é linda, mas a apesentação não foi das melhores...

[Lissone2010]

Neil Peart is the best drummer in the world, no question about it.

[quotonj]

Lol.

[glsingle]

@quotonj And why would you laugh out loud at Lissone2010's comment? Peart is without question the best in the world.....Buddy Rich isn't with us anymore, so Neil is #1.

[quotonj]

@glsingle There is no "best" drummer. There isn't one drummer that can do it all. Peart may be good at the kind of drumming he does, but theres different kinds. Being the "best drummer in the world" means he can beat anyone at ANY kind of drumming, period. I personally think he's an extraordinary drummer, but the best in the world? That title goes to no single person.

[The1ne07]

Neil's drums roar with the thunder of the gods.

They are so clean and crisp. Mighty attack, rumbling the arena!

[ICharmaine]

I was there! : )

[TamaOwnage]

4:50 all i gotta say peace

[malon253]

Damn this song kicks ass!!!! One of my favorites! Saw them twice on this tour when I was fourteen!!! Awesome memories with this album!!

[chokfm]

Absolutement incroyable! What a bass line good till the last drop.. Awsome flasback from '94 Good video tanks for post it RollTheFemers.

I think you are from Quebec like me can you share this concert? Je suis prêt à payer cher pour un bon bootleg de Counterpart tour...

[jtoshawa]

Great bands have no 2 songs that sound the same........Rush is one of those great bands!!

[shikamarunara333]

Geddy Lee is so fuckin awesome, I can't even express his awesomeness in words.

[santyrush]

RUSH  is the best in the galaxy......

[riceater87]

this song is just so fucking good, jesus rush is amazing

[xdx1990]

I'm 19 and have been a fan since I was 4. My dad used to play this new album in the car when he'd pick me up from pre school back in 94.

Nostalgia...

[Heard2112]

That rocks!

[planetmuman]

I was a Rush fan back in 1984 when the Signals tour hit the road. I have seen the band five times and always am impressed with the power and fury of Rush and I never tire of it. In my highschool yearbook I am known as the 'Digital Man'.

[shaftymcshifterson]

thats awesome... digital man?  great!

[KDoGGDitty]

dude im 14 and i love this song by them,and my step-dad has actully meet themand talked to them, im not sure if he played with them though i think he did. idk lol

[XcaramelkingX]

I'm 13 and I have loved rush since I was 9

[boongg]

Peart is on fire on this song. I even bought a sampler to sample this drum beat!

[steveo1983]

it's a fun song to jam to.

[jboyle02]

been a fan for 28 years and still going strong!!!

[snapascrew]

@jboyle02 same here but only been a fan like 10 years

[thomaspetersburg]

@jboyle02

Me too , i´m a fan for 33 years and still the music goes on.

Concert in frankfurt /germany on 29th may 2011!!

[cubestacker499]

Woo. Another 15-year-old fan! Me too. I got to see them on the Snakes and Arrows Tour... amazing.

[RollTheFemers]

Does anyone know what guitar Lerxst is playing here?

[Hawkeye815]

Well from the headstock I'd say it's a PRS. Maybe something close to a McCarty or Custom 22 or 24 model. Since he's so famous and rich, he probably had it custom made, though.

[cville57]

I'm almost positive it's a Paul Reed Smith Ce-24

[Hawkeye815]

Well on that one it has the knob for switching pickups instead of a toggle switch like Lerxst has here. That's what threw me off.

[SpiritDrive]

He's playing a Paul Reed Smith. What model? I don't know.

[samuraifugitivo]

dragon

[pm3181]

@RollTheFemers pretty sure it's a PRS model although i don't know which

[e11eventhhour]

@RollTheFemers -- looks like this was during his PRS days...Custom 22 or something similar I'd say. There isn't a good shot of it in the whole vid though.

[k726able]

@RollTheFemers DOn't listen to what everyone else says. Lerxst is playing a Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 guitar. NO!!!! It does not have a stoptail bridge!!! If it had a stoptail bridge there wouldn't be PRS's award winning tremolo system on it. That guitar currently has a piezo pickup installed(for acoustic simulation) but I'm not sure if it was installed for the Counterparts Tour. It may not have been installed until the Test For Echo or Vapor Trails Tour. By the R30 Tour he had stopped using it 

[k726able]

@k726able One mistake I made with that description. It is not a PRS Custom 24(with a set neck) but a PRS CE(classic electric) 24. The CEs have a bolt-on neck rather than a set neck. But that is really the only major difference.

[saulocpp]

@RollTheFemers: at this time he was playing PRS.

[jackcartwright1990]

@RollTheFemers Its A PRS Custom 24 =)

[rotoplasmetalstorm]

@RollTheFemers- That's a Paul Reed Smith.

[marianolaotramusica]

@RollTheFemers it's definitely a PRS, but I can't pinpoint the model

[marianolaotramusica]

@RollTheFemers it's definitely a PRS, but I can't pinpoint the model

[HAKKY2112]

@RollTheFemers

This is an AWESOME version!!!

So much good tone among guitar, bass and vocals!!!!

[snapascrew]

@RollTheFemers a PRS... most likely custom 22 or custom 24 if those models were out in 1994

[matheusfachini]

@RollTheFemers

Its a Paul Reed Smith, probably a Custom 24. That's the model he based his sound upon during the 90s

[guitarfreak594]

@RollTheFemers its a PRS custom 24 and I have it alex is sooooo gooood

[keymaker2112]

@RollTheFemers I realize this might be a bit old...but it looks like a Shecter. Great channel btw.

[bllpg9]

@keymaker2112 hell no, PRS custom, like matheusfachini and guitarfreak594

[Maniaca2112]

@RollTheFemers

Paul Reed Smith

[NR92CP]

@RollTheFemers It looks to be a PRS, maybe a Custom 24 or a McCarty.

[billydreed1]

@RollTheFemers paul reed smith solidbody with trem, no piezo, 24 fret.

[Dthorn912]

I love this bassline. Basic but it works and he makes it sound like he uses a pick but he doesn't. I was able to self teach this and it's exactly what he's playing. My all time favorite Rush song though has to be Earthshine.

[MrDeppness]

This song is about a man's feminine side; the female inside taking over his masculine self. Who thinks of this stuff? Well, Rush of course! :)

I esp like how they kept this song up to pace on this tour. After it they played it too slow, although at the end they usually get excited and speed it up anyway.... haha!

[CodeMonkey712]

Not taking over, influencing :)

[MrDeppness]

Well, trying to balance the influence as it takes over. Listen closer to the lyrics. In a way, the masculinity is being overcome by the feminine side.

[elfchaser]

The song actually derives liberally from the writings of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell.

[bvgstudios]

So much more exciting than on the R30 DVD

[transitdriver77]

I agree 100%

[RushRules4]

I'm 15 and got into Rush about 8 months ago and R30 was the 1st dvd i bought about 7 months ago and i heard this song and instantly loved it but yeah this is more exciting.

[lflucena]

Fucking awesome drums!

[joeglimmix]

best drum beat ever

[oomkontol]

I need this show on dvd!!!

I love Counterparts, but wasn't able to see any of this tour....

[Poseidon500]

Me neither. : (

[RUSHisCOOL69]

Geddy ur gettin old but i still love ya!

[SpammerOvTheGods]

I was there!

#@!

[IAP623]

This song is great, though Stick it Out is better. Limelight owns all however.

[fatfucguineahog]

eminem is the best he spits mad rhymes better then ghetti lea

[steelrusher]

my fav song from Counterparts, I saw these guys on this tour in Pittsburgh

[Inthescissor]

The sad thing is that he couldn't sing live in the early 90 s.

[saxifrage987]

You can't possibly be refering to Geddy or maybe sarcasm doesn't really translate when typing

[Inthescissor]

I ment Geddy. In the early 80s his voice was at it's best. but in the 90s he realy couldn't sing. He is a lot better now though.

[saxifrage987]

OK, I don't think I agree with that, but I originally thought you were accusing Geddy of lip-synching. The great thing about Rush is that they have so many different 'periods' and sounds.

[Inthescissor]

That's true

[augfiggs]

i love ANIMATE but i think the best version is the one on the R30 dvd

[ghstryder101970]

In miami..we did not get primus...we had candlebox :(....i i saw primus open for them on the roll the bones tour..one of my personal fav shows to date

[lilronaldinho9]

does anyone know where can i get the dvd?

[BIGROCKER620]

R U S H !!!!!

[BiaPoli17]

PERFEITOO! minha musica preferidaa

[mimoaapp]

mto doido... musica animaallll

[KaoKun1990]

Love the way Geddy's bass sounds during Alex's solo.

[taureth]

Counterparts was an awesome album and tour. Thanks for this! Good quality, video, too!

[IamwhoIthoughtIwas]

Great show, I was there. Glad I could just type this in and find some memories. I really appreciate it. Great time, My second rush show out of six times seeing them. Never a disapointment, thanks again. Primus opened I believe.

[RollTheFemers]

Glad you enjoy the video, and yes, Primus was the opening act for this show. :-)

[jakerules01]

was that the one where primus bassist/singer walded on in a chicken suit and shouted

We're primus...and we suck...

or was that another tour lol

[IAP623]

Reminds me of when they dressed as penguins and played Wynona's Big Brown Beaver.  And there's a clip on here somewhere where Primus plays the beginning of YYZ before opening into Tommy the Cat.

[MagellanOfBass]

Are you saying that RUSH dressed as penguins and played Primus?!?! Omg where can I see that????

[IAP623]

Oh no sorry I meant Primus dressed as penguins.

[LostReader]

Dude, I was there too. I have seen them 5 times and I am pretty sure it was Primus opening for them. I was actually in the front row right in front of Geddy and have checking as many clips as I can find of the concert to see if I can find myself. As you said, great memories.

[jakeTW1996]

@IamwhoIthoughtIwas you lucky you saw them when geddy hadnt quite lost most of his amazing voice yet. i still wanna go to one really bad, but i still envy u.

[DigitalMan93]

i realy hope tht this sho gets released on dvd

[ericbecht]

RTF, thanks for posting this awesome vid, first time saw Rush in concert was Counterparts tour...this show looks like it should be on dvd!
