you know, ther are only 2 live albums that i prefer, i usually don't care for live unless at concert..this is one of them..every song on exit staqe left is awesome..the other pink floyd the wall....awesome as well...but i wish someone could tell me what geddy lee says to alex in this video that make alex laugh when they were playing...and i love the way alex gives geddy the eye to see if he is going to follow the song and change when he does,,,i fucking love this video!!!
Hello! You there! You're missing the fantastic video clip because you look at the commentaries! Scroll up and enjoy one of Rush's best songs performed live :)
"To be eligible for induction as an artist (as a performer, composer, or musician) into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the artist must have released a record, in the generally accepted sense of that phrase, at least 25 years prior to the year of induction; and have demonstrated unquestionable musical excellence" That is quoted directly from the rock and roll hall of fame page. So now let the people choose if The Rock and Roll Hall of fame is worthy to have Rush.
Why they are not yet in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is baffling, one of the finest art rock bands ever, I challenge any so called modern musician to produce stuff of this caliber especially this number. I was fortunate to see them in the early 90's, unforgettable show.
@turydragon people are still watching this after 30 years, do you think there is an artist out right now that people will be listening to 30 years from now?
@dec0y8 yeah probably...and if there isn't it's b/c the game has changed, the world moves much faster and a 10 yr career now is worth a 20 yr career in the time this video was being made, maybe longer...stop with the good old days bullshit that's ur point. the 1960's 70's and 80's had a lot of GARBAGE for every Rush...a LOT
Theres Tons of memorable Artists coming out, Producing Works that Go along With Yes' "Close to the edge" and Rush's "Hemispheres" and so. Its good to reminisce and recognize the good stuff from the past but its retarded not to acknowledge the good stuff we have today, which is mostly inspired by past bands.
@turydragon Nothing today even scratches the surface of yesteryear. Its was done and can never be matched. Just like the days of mozart, beethoven ect... Rush has hit the ceiling, can't get higher then that.
I was only comparing them not saying its the same. Theres a lot of great talent today as there was before. Even Rush has recognized it many times. Its part of being a musician.
Popular or not, Theres a lot of talent today as there was yesterday. The media and music industry are constantly changing and they don't focus on it. Its up to people to go to local shows, word of mouth etc. They're making a living so its all good.
3 guys who could move next door to you and you could be certain that no squad cars,ambulances or pushers would invade your neighborhood. most great bands have at least a couple of certified wasted egomaniacs involved. these guys are common schmoes who happen to be God-gifted musically.
30 plus years after first hearing this i still close my eyes and feel the power when this song plays.i listen to a lot of music on youtube but my computer seems to always wanna head back to this live performance, which i consider one of the greatest ever captured by any band.
The next time any country sends out a Voyager type spacecraft into deep space they must be sure to include this recording,on the crrent form of a "golden record" like the first two Voyagers have. This way any et life who finds it will be able to hear some of the very best of what humankind has been able to achieve.
three of the nicest guys in rock not to mention talented,awesome,great shall i go on they are the most interesting song writers and performers i have ever heard or have ever seen and i have seen alot of bands these guys are the real deal!!!!
@SenorSpode Kurt Cobain and Jack White made the top ten!! David Gilmour was only 86th!! But he's the guitarist Magazine's no.1, so take the RS list with a pinch of the proverbial!
@JunkAndMusic Considering that Rolling Stone Magazine controls who does and does not get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and overlooks lifetime groups like Rush and yet accept one-hit-wonders like Toni Basil, would we expect any objectivity from them? It's all about the dollah...
@SenorSpode One hit wonders like Toni Basil. It's clearly not about the money. Rush has a bajillion hits and have sold many many records. It's shitting on "intellectual" music is what it is. Not to mention shitting on Canada because we may have the most technical proficient rock band of the 70s
@SenorSpode I know. It's only an opinion though and opinions dont mean shit!!! The only opinion that should matter is your own... And that's a FACT ...
Hi Adam. Its true. Some of the most intense moments of my life were at Rush concerts and maybe it's just me, but this song especially rocks me. I never missed a Rush concert between 1977 and 1984 and they came every year. I would spend an entire school year waiting to see Rush play Xanadu. Imagine how great it was to be there in that moment. One of the best bands playing one of their best songs in maybe the best recorded tour ever. I sometimes hitchhiked for days to see them play in Vancouver.
Besides the fact that Rush are excellent musicians, they are, on top of this, excellent people.May distant future generation excavate Rush and believe that our civilization was worthy.
BTW,"nockuout1," the CORRECT SPELLING of the first word in your user ID name is "Knock" Like in "Knock" out.. or "knock u out." Your dumb as*s can't even spell a simple word that my 3rd grader can spell. It's "knock!" Not "nock." Go back to primary school anD pay attention the next time around.
Hey, "nockuout1", since your pea brain is too small to make a simple logical inference, I'll tell U what I was talking bout. It's this: That the sheer "guitar playing" skills or abilities of Geddy Lee are far superior to Eric Claptons. The last time I checked, a bass GUITAR IS STILL A FREAKIN GUITAR! Get it now, retard?
10 people don't have the latest adobe flash that's required to watch videos. the other 20 dislikes were by justin beiber because he thinks he's better, but he knows he's not. 3,045 people here heard rush, got hooked, and followed them throughout their career by buying albums and seeing concerts. those 3,045 people are awesome.
We should all thank Neil for joining rush, because geddy & alex wanted to play more complicated songs, and neil allowed them to do that, because he wanted to also. he also wrote the most amazing lyrics ever. thank you neil
I would say their best effort, but one has a hard time going against the gold standard, 2112. Still, i rank it between one and three all time for a Rush studio release. A great time to actually hear a band in the midst of transition. A great listen from start to finish .... which is the way music listening used to be .... an actual experience. Well under-rated, as far as Rush studio albums are concerned, .. in my opinion, of course.
Classic Concert. I was fortunate to see this tour live. I have seen over 40 Rush concerts over the years. This was the day when general admission seating was allowed. Smoke filled the arenas giving it a mystic aura. Concerts have changed and so has the sound systems. I still remember the growl of the Oberheim and Taurus pedals. It literally shook the seats. I still remember this concert and the early Moving Pictures Tour to this day.
Xanadu... What a great epic story, masterfully narrated and played! Took me back to freshman year in college, 1978; gloriously blitzed out of my mind, listening to Rush, Pink Floyd, Iggy, Eno, Roxy Music. Xanadu's my favorite Rush song. NO ONE, in all of rock n roll history, had or, has more musical talent than Geddy Lee. He can show Eric Clapton places on the guitar that Clapton's still has never been to. And yes, Rush should reject/decline being insulted into the R n R Hall of SHAME.
I'll always enjoy Rush, but there's something about seeing them up on stage in their youth like this, kickin' ass and takin' names, that almost brings a tear to my eye.
been going to concerts since 74 and no one has been this good everytime one big regret getting to high at fairwell to kings tour i think 78 dont remember anything but the start of the show and then leaveing . but as we grow older we learn
3:12-3:38 - Geddy is singing, playing bass and picking out the the synth melody on Moog pedals WITH HIS FOOT...I think the camera doesn't show this because the director wasn't aware such things were possible. awestruck.
I'm wondering where the film masters are for this concert. I wish they'd find them and re-edit the whole thing (add ALL of the songs that were filmed) and lose all of the early 80s video effects, and put it on Blu Ray.
In my opinion, this is the best version of this epic piece of music. The sound is just perfect. The slightly slower tempo, as compared to the studio version, gives it such a majestic feel. Still gives me goosebumps.
And to think the AZZHOLES at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame continue to Leave out RUSH and KISS for that Matter. 2 Totally different spectrums of Music I will attest to....but My Goodness...How stupid do you have to be to keep picking IGNORANT bands that have done nothing more that sit back and watch these 2 bands literally kick the asses of countless millions of people for 30+ years? Seems as if something is wrong. I hope theydecline to accept when they get in. hall of fame is a complete joke
@Chalutz65: more, unless the synthesizers played themselves while Geddy was on bass. Check the 3:30 mark. maybe they dubbed it in later. but you can hear a Moog-sounding lead.
@fooloof Geddy is playing that synth line with his feet on the Moog Taurus pedals. Watch his legs. This is not untypical. Both he and Alex constantly trigger sounds as well play things on them.
@fooloof Histhao is correct. While the Taurus is a bass synth, it can also trigger many other things, via midi. This can be seen both with Geddy and Alex in La Villa...at Pinkpop 1979, as well as on R30.
Amazing how they can pull off such an elaborate arrangement live and for those who missed it Geddy Lee is playing the six string(on his doubleneck)during the keyboard passages when he's not playing the keyboards that is!
The best band in the whole world ever !!!....here in Lima, Perú, we are waiting so long for them. I´ll wait for them until I die. RUSH Is like listening a SYMPHONIC. So powerfull and also relaxed that makes music so fantastic !!! RUSH COME TO PERÚ. VIVA EL PERÚ, CARAJO !!!
This is an absolutely amazing song!!! I was never into Rush growing up, I was more into Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, the old classic rock. And when I watched the movie I was kicking myself in the ass...wondering why I didn't like them, and as a bass player I learned the true potential of the bass thanks to these 3 guys.Geddy Lee is an amazing musician and I have him to thank for opening my eyes!!! Rock On!!!
This is the BEST thing to come out of Canada besides the Winnipeg full solar eclipse, and mildly William Shatner.

3:12-3:38 - Geddy is singing, playing bass and picking out the the synth melody on Moog pedals WITH HIS FOOT...I think the camera doesn't show this because the director wasn't aware such things were possible. awestruck.

I'm wondering where the film masters are for this concert. I wish they'd find them and re-edit the whole thing (add ALL of the songs that were filmed) and lose all of the early 80s video effects, and put it on Blu Ray.

In my opinion, this is the best version of this epic piece of music. The sound is just perfect. The slightly slower tempo, as compared to the studio version, gives it such a majestic feel. Still gives me goosebumps.

And to think the AZZHOLES at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame continue to Leave out RUSH and KISS for that Matter. 2 Totally different spectrums of Music I will attest to....but My Goodness...How stupid do you have to be to keep picking IGNORANT bands that have done nothing more that sit back and watch these 2 bands literally kick the asses of countless millions of people for 30+ years? Seems as if something is wrong. I hope theydecline to accept when they get in. hall of fame is a complete joke

@Chalutz65: more, unless the synthesizers played themselves while Geddy was on bass. Check the 3:30 mark. maybe they dubbed it in later. but you can hear a Moog-sounding lead.
fooloof 3 months ago
@fooloof Geddy is playing that synth line with his feet on the Moog Taurus pedals. Watch his legs. This is not untypical. Both he and Alex constantly trigger sounds as well play things on them.
histhao 3 months ago
@histhao: you do realize, don't you, that the Taurus is a bass synth?
fooloof 3 months ago
@fooloof Histhao is correct. While the Taurus is a bass synth, it can also trigger many other things, via midi. This can be seen both with Geddy and Alex in La Villa...at Pinkpop 1979, as well as on R30.

Amazing how they can pull off such an elaborate arrangement live and for those who missed it Geddy Lee is playing the six string(on his doubleneck)during the keyboard passages when he's not playing the keyboards that is!

This is an absolutely amazing song!!! I was never into Rush growing up, I was more into Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, the old classic rock. And when I watched the movie I was kicking myself in the ass...wondering why I didn't like them, and as a bass player I learned the true potential of the bass thanks to these 3 guys.Geddy Lee is an amazing musician and I have him to thank for opening my eyes!!! Rock On!!!
