Rush--Caravan--Live @ Ottawa Bluesfest 2010-07-11

[walterp341]

My dream concert: Foo Fighters play for three hours to open for Rush who play four 3-4 hours. Best thing that could ever happen

[FrankNStein8517]

fuck christianity, RUSH is God



[MultiRushfan]

ive had to force myself to leave Rush temporarily and go tell the christians where the trinity is! now im back.. it was a trip to hell but i made it back to heaven!

[MrEtienne1122]

first time i saw rush was in vancouver on the time machine tour my mind was blown

[MultiJam10]

I like it a lot. Good tune! They really jam out in this tune. Rush is absolutely amazing to still be making rock music of this quality.

[cstuneck]

Duh this is rock and roll. I agree Rush is amazing, but you can't just say ALL new bands are terrible just by virtue of starting later.

[DISANOD]

THIS IS ROCK N ROLL FOLKS !!!!!!! It's amazing to me what they call rock these days WHERE IS THE MUSICIANSHIP???? Rush can kick the ass of ANY (and I repeat ) ANY new band. I defy any new band to play this kind of music...they can't !!

[gaming23]

Rush still has it after all these years. Love this song. The only other band that could ever come close to comparison (LIVE) would be, Queensryche. Both robbed of a ROF nomination, shame on them.

[SnowAngel4000]

Saw them June 28th....Still dumbfounded by their sheer amazingness.

[islu1048]

luckly the world it's not only lit by bombs

great song

[sCUNThorPENIS]

One person was looking for Cher Lloyd's "Swagger Jagger"

[nfldman1976]

@sCUNThorPENIS Hahahahahah man that was awesome...I wonder if they found it?

[redzonehunter69]

sweet!!cant say any more.

[dorian2112]

whats Neil pointing at at 4:50? he seems to be looking at something before then but hmm...

[spiderbait90]

@dorian2112 If you look closely he pushes his cymbal stand, which proceeds to move. Followed by his drum tech Lorne quickly tightening it.

[gonnagroove]

Fucking hell they are at the top of their game. Geddy is blowing my mind in this vid.

[Gd21guns1]

clockwork angels is probably my favorite album by rush in while

[RushRules4]

@Gd21guns1 I know i can't wait for it!!! I mean there is going to be an epic multipiece!!! They haven't done that in 30 years i think this will be their best work yet!!! As you can tell i'm really excited.

[ronniehough]

cant wait till june 18th.........san diego welcomes these rulers!

[cwodragon]

Rush is the best live band ever!

[Just1Micky]

The bands newest dilema, their epicness roars louder than their music, oh shit, what do they do? : P

[caulinrocker1]

@Just1Micky i guess their gonna have to start moving the front row back 30 yards or someones going deaf

[1dgkonig]

can hardly hear the bass

[tgood19]

@1dgkonig

maybe because it was recorded on Alex's side of the stage????

[1dgkonig]

@tgood19 yea, probably, im saying this because when I saw them last summer, the bass was sooo loud.

[guitarcrusin]

Geddy Lee.... the greatest rock star to walk the planet.....

[michaelofpetaluma]

@guitarcrusin TOTALLY ! Geddy SOOOOOOOOOOOOooo rules !

[stageplan]

Yeh! I want to see you show in Thailand.

[1968mjh]

The chorus makes me feel the way I did when I first heard a Rush song (Spirit of Radio, natch) 29 years ago...their music does that thing of making something deep inside you do backflips from sheer excitement.

[TheShides]

@1968mjh I couldn't have said it ANY better.

[Armando2012102]

Damn, it's like Rush is saying "Look, we're in our 60's, but all you young fools calling yourselves rock musicians nowadays can't touch this shit."

And they can't.

[RCAvhstape]

@Armando2012102 Actually, they're still in their 50s, but who's counting? They transcend all time and space.

[thebatman101069]

@Armando2012102 not in their 60's yet, almost... Ged and Alex 58, Neil 59....

[12ax7el84]

Yup. Best rock band evar.

NashVegas 4/3 baby!

[19angelman61]

Thanks for the post! See these guys in concert just one time and you will be hooked forever. Rush Rules!

[chokfm]

BEST BAND IN THIS GALAXIE!

[stashJ8]

They currently may be the best rock n roll band in the world

[alfother]

@stashJ8 "may"? lol...no...they ARE

[johnster570]

@stashJ8 Currently? They always were and always will be!!!

[PJJTremblay]

I was there ... brought my two sons ... sixth time seeing them ... still amazing after all these years ... saw them first time on Farewell to Kings Tour !!!

[loveja1]

Awesome job on the filming. One of the best ones I've seen yet! What camera did you use? the clarity is awesome!

[DraconicSlayer]

You know.. i didn't really like the more recent Rush albums.. but this song is awesome! but i don't think Rush can ever create what they did with moving pictures... or Farewell to Kings.. my two favorite albums.

[balerinauzicka]

@DraconicSlayer "presto" was better 6 times

[irena7777777]

@balerinauzicka 6 Times?! That's a bit exact! If you had said ten times, that's a figure of speech, but 6 times?! What did u measure that with?!lol

[conno65]

Hey wow!! I was there. And travelled all the way from Melbourne Aus. to see it!! Fantastic show, was about 10 metres from stage, this was one of their best, highlight though had to be "Moving Pictures" album start to finish. Know some here will find it hard to believe, but they're not really known in Oz at all. I feel blessed!

[secretworld1]

[Metalbrow34]

Noise, Noise nuthin but noise!

[Lyngholm67]

I have been at three RUSH concerts:

Roll The Bones Tour in Hannover, Germany - 1993

R30 Tour in Hamborg, Germany - 2004

Snakes And Arrows Tour, Germany - 2008

John, Denmark

[drewper73]

I cannot wait to see this show on April 3rd in Nashville, TN. It's gonna be the greatest! I love the new material! Can't wait for Clockwork Angels!

[1nativeaustintexan]

I love Rush.I bet their next 40 years will be even better.Thanks for posting.

[MrEmeraldtreeboa]

[fanboy20]

@MrEmeraldtreeboa

[jamma246]

Fuckkkk Geddy's voice sounds perfect! Can't wait to see them when they come to the UK!

[1nativeaustintexan]

Rush.These guys are amazing.I have rocked out to at least one Rush song everyday for over 30 years.

[waffelcone]

ha! i'm wearing my time machine tour shirt right now!

[fasionroadkill]

2:37 AMAZING drum hit

[zack2703]

too awesome

[bandoslord411]

lucky u get to see a concert

[Leclerc1314]

ahhhhh i was at that concert! i was maybe 15 feet closer than this guy, siiiiick concert

[wadeuk]

I've been following RUSH since Moving Pictures and they just get better! Guees that makes me an old g*t:)

[redx880]

@wadeuk No sir, it doesn't. Im 17 now, and I've been listening to these guys since I was little, and they continue to inspire me. My favorite band of all time by far. They are the only band that still kicks ass, and blows away all these gay bands of my shitty generation :D

[lifeson46]

@redx880 good for you mate i am 47 and I was listening to 2112 when I was 14 years old...i love these guys, you have excellent taste

[RushRules4]

@wadeuk The older the better. just like wine and Rush.

[romaneberle]

@RushRules4

...and SAGA. :-) (btw. regardless of singer - awesome group)

[breaker2k]

tomorrow, the tour will end in my hometown!! it's gonna be awesome!!

[5150pearl]

I love rush!!!!!

[SexyCerial]

They Played This Song At The ACC Concert. I May Only Be 13 But This Song And Many Others Drew Me Into Rush

[P3DRO02]

i can believe i will see those guys here in brazil!

fuck yeah!

[SciMasterGeneral]

GEDDY RULES THE UNIVERSE, EVEN THOUGH HE DID WRITE SONGS LIKE SECOND NATURE AND PRESTO. I FORGIVE HIM THOUGH.

[BayouSnipera]

Steampunk up in this shit!

Rush is fucking bringing it. Always.

Want Music? Rush.

Good Music? Rush.

"Can you recommend a band for me to listen to?" Rush.

Boss Bass playing? Rush.

Throat-crushing drum solos? Rush.

Some of the greatest sounds ever produced by a six stringed instrument? RUSH.

[esrb]

This is the ONLY rock band that will prevail since 1974, now and FOREVER.

Never get disappointed with their live performance: real Rock mein froinds !!! 

[bassdude70]

I saw them in Tulsa last night! AWESOME show!

[BigYellowNinja]

@bassdude70 No way! I was there too!

[musicmydrug10]

Everything in this video as far as staging goes is Steampunk.... Interesting, cross-over? Rock with some more character and class. Nice...

[gibsonplayer8]

I saw them at PNC Arts Center. It was the first time hearing this new tune..I liked it immediately. What a great show,,what a great band!

[impala67ht]

Just saw them in Syracuse. What a great show!

[notsoflexibleflyer]

The best I've ever seen them!! Wonderful footage for a home job! Rock LONG... and prosper oh awesome threesome!! Who'd have thought anyone could still write a good song in E? They've done it again. Must have new album.

[theevan117]

The video reminds me of Little Big Planet =P

[MrGuitarDemon]

Sounds alot like the studio version

[dwilson36316]

wicked bass line

[1980MF1980]

I like how its like bump bump bump, almost like moguls down a ski slope, wish they'd fly a little down a black diamond though like they use too in songs like Spirit of Radio, just brighten up and again fly sometime

[oasotam]

"i can´t stop thinking big, i can´t stop thinking big..." huauhauhuauhuaa

[oasotam]

Brother, i´m gonna check these guys alive, here in Brazil !!! I just can´t believe it, bad can´t wait to. 08/10 !!!!

[RaiderDan510]

Great Video!

[TigerlvrBailey]

Rush just can't stop kicking ass! In a world full of crappy pop music they just can't stop kicking ass!

[nodrush]

@TigerlvrBailey Ha ha, right on the money!!!

[mptuhy]

Thank you backpackdave for posting all these vids. I'm seeing them Sept. 3rd in Jersey. "Caravan" is one of the best songs they have done in 20 years since "Presto". So stoked to see them. They look and sound amazing as always

[Dube230]

While other bands are collecting their pensions Rush is still writing incredible fucking music! Greatest Band Ever!

[ePhilosopher9]

Happy Night in Vegas, boys.

Tomorrow Aug 15 2010 is the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

Should have taken a left turn at Albuquerque!

West Palm Avaits Dahlink

[bassmanjoe]

Damm this song blows me away!!!!

[PizmoBeach1]

Thank you for sharing this! I think this is a great song. While some of it sounds like 'Classic RUSH' -for lack of a more appropriate term, I'm impressed by how they stepped out of their familiar comfort zone a bit, particularly Geddy when he got a little funky with the slap bass- sounded a bit like Les Claypool for a second there. These guys are incredible musicians and play really tight. Always two thumbs up for RUSH!

[banzuke21]

wow. this steam punk approach to Clockwork Angels is really a great fit for the boys.

[MXP553]

Fuck YEA!

[lordertai]

the best rock band of all time right here.

[plebmlamusique]

what a night this is the greatest prog trio in the world

[desdinovaboc]

@plebmlamusique rush have not been a prog band since hemispheres..

[ryslo2000]

@desdinovaboc do you even know what prog is?

[desdinovaboc]

@ryslo2000 yes...i used to be a big pink floyd/yes fan during the mid 70`s.rush only ever dabbled with being a prog band.....two steps backwards is not progression.

[luv4geddy]

@desdinovaboc you have no idea what prog rock is dude, these three are the most amazing at what they do

[Annonymus121]

@desdinovaboc They had three albums off progressive music lol :P

[Annonymus121]

@ryslo2000 you don't need to have long ass songs to be prog.

[MelizzleR]

Rest assured, Rush does NOT lip-sync...they're just THAT good;)

@ irena7777777, Rush has no plans to go to Europe THIS year, but I believe they've already announced their plans to tour next year (70 cities so far) in 2011 after the release of Clockwork Angels. You can register for email updates through their official website.

[WestwardOneOH]

Caravan is an amazing song and seeing and hearing it live just proves that this will be a classic song for RUSH. I am really looking forward to Clockwork Angels after hearing this and BU2B.

[jonnyhollossy]

amazing show!!!! i didnt know that levon helm was there or else id have been there!!! this song was absolutely amazing!! wish i could do it again today and tommorow!!!!!!!!

[studyan]

came from viewpark glasgow scotland to see rush in bluesfest ottawa 2010 and they were great also after them caught levon helm which was in the next site, they were great as well and also got to meet levon what a day amazin

[irena7777777]

@studyan Do u know if Rush are planning on coming to Scotland/Britain in their current tour?

[nodrush]

WHO'S DA BEST!

[zxcv1234vcxz]

At first I thought, "Aw man, they're lip synching!" because it sounded so much like the studio recording. That just goes to show how polished these guys truly are.

[JorshWarshington]

@zxcv1234vcxz

Everybody knows that Geddy doesn't lip-sync.

[blackoutjoe]

i was at bluesfest this year! rush was for sure the best act of 2010!!!!!!

[MyPaulo47]

Absolutely awesome! Thanks for putting this on You Tube.

I first saw Rush in Glasgow, Scotland, on the Hemispheres tour way back in 1979!

Have seen them four times since and would dearly love to catch them on this North American tour.

They're right on form with this song - can't wait for the nee album!

[gamefreak249]

Thanks for uploading all these songs so fast!

And what a great show this was. I was right up front, it was amazing!

[pm3181]

great shooting thanks for all of them

[GuitarRock91]

it was actually my first time hearing the song (i've been living under a rock i know) and this gave me chills!!!
