  • They got TALENT, musical genius and more creativity than any trio I know!! they're out of this world...

  • 6:30 <3

  • That intro gives me chills!

  • I wish the R30 DVD concert was uncut :(

  • @fajitaRBguy01111 me too

  • @fajitaRBguy01111 Blu-Ray is uncut...

  • bottom line is if one of the guys were missing, there would not be rush period!

  • @frisbeedawgbob SO TRUE!!!

  • Just how fucking good is that?!!!!!!!!!!!! Saw the Hemispheres tour in three cities, heard this song a thousand times, and it still makes the hair on my neck stand up!

  • one of the most inspiring songs ever writen,creative on alot of levels.

  • Where the fuck is the genius button?

  • 3 dislikes = paris hilton, justin bieber, & justin beiber wannabe.

  • correctopinionator <- troll

  • Hah, 8:40 is terrific.

    "I probably make her sick...."

    tatattatatatta....

    "But you know what? I COULDN'T CARE LESS!"

    DA DA DAAAA, DA DA DAAAA!

  • 3:02...best note ever played

  • Lifeson's solo is still one of the most spine tingling solos I've ever heard, the best I've ever heard.

  • LMAO GO ALEX GO...

  • R30!

    

  • What rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

    Place is a joke

    YES is not in there either.

    Fuck em !

  • Just Alex's rant near the end, makes this version amazing. How Neal can keep a straight face through it amazes me. I sure couldn't, I'd be tears flowing bend over laughing.

    They truly are the "Greek Gods of Rock".

  • La Villa is truely one of my favorite Rush songs... and as any Rush fan knows, picking favorites is next to impossible. I have heard this song thousands of times and never tire of it.

    BTW, the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" is a joke without Rush included

  • @NewEd2112 stole the words right out of my mouth well said man

  • @NewEd2112 The Rock and Roll Hall of Shame doesn't deserve to include Rush. Rush is much better than that.

  • Alex = Most underrated rock guitar player of all time. Mix that with RUSH not being in the Hall of fame and you get two of the greatest musical injustices of all time in one band.

  • amazing

  • Neil Peart is timeless!! I will truly mourn.....I mean fucking MOURN the day he passes. LONG LIVE THE PROFESSOR!!!

  • @bassguy511 I looked at your comment, then down at your name, and laughed.

  • The Paris Hilton rant at the 7 minute mark is hilarious!

  • i bet neil pearts trainer feels like god right now

  • A true testament to what a band can achieve being solely music driven, and not focus on the fame or the fortune. Still around after nearly 40 years STILL producing music and you still couldn't tell that they are aging while they play, as they only get better

  • surely these guys pull chicks

  • I can't watch this and not think "how the fuck is that only three guys making all that sound?"

  • By-Tor and the Snow Dog, then Xanadu, then La Villa Strangiato...............FUCKI­NG AMAZING COMBO!

  • Can't wait to see this on Thursday!

  • I can't imagine playing this song in the middle/end of a show...neil's got insane stamina...timing...everything. Without question....one the best songwriters/drummers/inspirati­ons of our time.

  • RUSH inspires me to quit drumming.

  • Saw them in Dublin, they were out of this world! Alex has such a great sense of humour!

  • for all you kiddies out there THIS is rock and roll!

  • These dorks rock!

  • Ditto RMarshfan

  • Where r they performing?

  • ya baby going to see them tomarrow,,,f------ cant wait,,,,,i have been a fan for over 20 year ....hell ya.toledo ohio ,,,

  • WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

  • Alex is up there with Clapton & Page. The virtuosity of SR Vaugn combined with the subtlety of Guilmore. Add in a measure of good old Canadian humour and humility, you almost have to respect the mother smurfer...

  • @KarmicAvngr Alex destroys Clapton. Eric Clapton is so overrated. Pentatonic blues licks does not make you a guitar god.

  • @Ignore14 Hmmm...apples to oranges. Technically, Lifeson is more a diverse player while Clapton is better at songwriting and singing than Alex. Just because you have different styles, doesn't mean one is "better". What's "better" anyway? Totally different styles...it's like who better Al DiMeola or Yngwie? Larry Carlton or EVH? Steve Vai or Jeff Beck? Me, for one, thought the most over-rated guitarist was Kurt Cobain.Just my opinion.

  • How did you get the various camera angles?

  • Well...Knopfler is impressive. Clapton is overrated.

    

  • Well...Knopfler is impressive. Clapton is overrated.

  • Paris Hilton Lol...!:-) 

  • I love these guys.

  • paris hilton where's your brain?!?!?!?

  • I could listen from 3:02 to 3:37 all day - in fact I think I just did! One of the best solos in rock history yet sadly most people will never have heard it. Seeing them in May (London) and I can't wait!

  • lol Geddy and Neil: . . . . . . . ?

  • I make Paris Hilton sick!

  • The PRS sounds great, but the Gibson SE is what made Alex famous, he used SE much through out their classical albums. The Gibsonn SE had a sound that resonated deeply. The thing that I like about Alex is how he changes guitars frequenty.

    Eric claptan sticks to the same guitar, Mark Knopfer stays with his Fender. Every song has it's own sound, Alex is very smart to get the sound right, with different guitars. Alex is the best!!!

  • @TheTube1970 That he is. I love all of his guitar work. But don't knock Clapton and Knopfler, they're pretty darn impressive as well.

  • When they first recorded this song on Hemispheres, it was so beyond their abilities that they had to do it in 3 takes. Not anymore. Now they can do whatever they want with the song, including this rant by Alex. They are totally amazing!

  • 2 people dont like paris hilton

  • @cesar10rockemo I hate Paris Hilton, and I think everyone who likes Rush or anything that relates to good music should take on shit on her. 

  • @mauileqwerty amen brother

  • Comment removed

  • Paris Hilton, you make me sick....LOL only Rush can pull this shit off and make it funny. Rush does Canada proud.

  • What an excellent piece of work!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • First of all, I am so ashamed that I had forgotten how amazing Rush is! Secondly, I remember hearing an interview with Phil Collins in which he said something to the effect that when you get older, you just can't keep whizzing around the drum set at 300 mph. To that there can be only one possible answer: Three words, Mr. Collins:

    NEIL

    FUCKING

    PEART!!!!!!!!!

  • @RMarshfan Neil Peart had the common sense to redefine himself as a drummer as he aged by studying with the great Freddy Greuber. Look at how his body flows as he plays compared to other drummers - this is the key to his longevity - he floats around the drums, he does not whizz around them! His motions are beautiful - fluid dynamics.

  • @simmsdn I agree.

  • @RMarshfan AMEN TO THAT!  LOVE YOU RUSH!

  • @RMarshfan you got that hella right, still kickin ass and takin names

  • Epic song from alex near the end, he spoke what was on all of our minds

  • excellent................

  • Where is paris hilton's brain?

  • Oh ya Alex cant be beat, he's got some giant hands though... the neck disappears under his hand. His phrasing is what really floors me, its so bluesy and RUSHy and every thing they do smells of Reggea. All three are an amazing gift to music.

  • amazing guitar solo alex is one of the best guitar players out there in my opinion

  • @RollTheBones96 i can listen to that solo 100 times a day and it still amazes me

  • @RollTheBones96 Your right.... very underrated!!

  • @DavidOwenWard i know right......i went and saw this band last month and i dont have a clue how they aren't in the hall of fame

  • @RollTheBones96 He is and ever shall remain. The reason he is not regarded as the best is simply he offers no ego. He simply loves what he does. He is not an asshole saying "look what I can do?" This could turn in to an essay on why Rush is the greatest band on earth, however Alex, OH MY, OH MY?

  • @superunt43 Not to mention Geddy and Neil?

  • @RollTheBones96 i was thinking before i saw what you put, and he is not flashy, or like eddie v, but, i think i would agree with you, he has some great tallent for sure, and geddy on the bass, sooooo perfect, and ,neil, well neil is THE BEST DRUMMER OUT THERE P E R I O D the is one of my favorit bands of ALL time

  • why isn't there a woman standing next to the washer and dryer?

  • @zachjohnston19 Because there is a lookalike standing in front of it with a base guitar

  • @zachjohnston19 because it's Rush...chicks don't dig Rush...but they sure as hell dig those pay checks your basic Rush fan brings home!!! Muahahahahahaaaaaa

  • Too funny--awesome band

  • Alex Lifeson <3

  • THANK GOD GEDDY IS THE SINGER

  • @mycatwilatackyou Ha!!! Just occurred to me that's it's the first time I've ever seen Alex Lifeson near the microphone. He should do it more often. Rather funny!

  • kicks ass

  • Yah i agree, did i miss the boat on P.H?? Just saw an earlier live version of this song and Alex ranted something at the begining and it was censored with a disclaimer. Whats it all about?

  • who is this P.H. and what is the hubbub all about?

  • 2 dislikes... 2 people gonna die n_n (Sorry for bad english xD)

    Cheers from Mexico :D

  • Comment removed

  • Sorry to tell you boys but 1 person out of over 45,000 didn't care for this one. Man they better tighten up. And do you think Alex ever wishes he didn't make this so complex as now he has to play it for years to come.

  • I love it

  • This show was a near-religious experience for me. It was incredibly loud and crystal clear... I really wish they'd play RCMH again. I was sitting in the front row of the balcony, and when the lasers went on at 3:03, they came right at us -- I was totally giddy. IMO, they should have released this show professionally on DVD instead of the Frankfurt show.

  • to me from 6:48 to 7:07 sounds like south park theme

  • Masterpiece

  • somebody know, why on the stage there are dryers?

  • @Elvon98 Because Geddy doesn't use amplifier on stage...so he fills the space with dryers...! It is their humour....sometime we see vending machines....or washing machines.....

  • @chetanarjun Or chicken being cooked

  • How high was Alex?

  • @TRayner704 not at all.

  • DAYYUMMM

    i just saw them in sanfransisco on the first day of school, i got to leave early. best first day ever. they were amazing!

  • I don't get why Lifeson gets lazy on the pull-offs at 4:15. Booo, play it properly Alex.

  • existen pocas composiciones en la historia de la musica como esta, que hace que uno se quede perplejo ante un tema lleno de virtuosismo y maxima tecnica de interpretacion, y esta superbanda tiene dos, XANADU y esta.

    Una de las cosa que tiene que hacer cualquier persona de nuestro tiempo antes de morir es ver a RUSH en vivo.

  • Alex: "WHERES YOUR BRAIN?!?!" hahahhaha Rush for ever

  • @ LLH97921

    "t's supposed to be a rock show not the "Teletubbies" or "The Wriggles"!

    I don't understand why people shouldn't laugh during rock shows?

    And when you listen to live boots you can hear the audience laughing so I'm sure MOST fans don't hate these rants!

    I'm a Rush fan and I think the guy is hilarious!

  • @tontonfranck Yea sure...Yo Yo Ma should get up during his performaces and start fussing and freaking, boy that would not go over so well! What ya think? Besides I still hate this side show and so do most fans. It's sucks.

  • :L alex is just saying what were all thinking:L

  • Howard did a great job on lights as always on this one. Also great quality vid.

  • "Paris Hilton" should have been made into a full studio track. It's quite catchy:)

  • Alex rants RULE!!!

    Seen them 14 times live and never saw him do one. I feel cheated!

  • es increible como tres grandes mentes se juntaron para crear esos sonidos tan esquisitos al oido humano. y siguen haciendo su trabajo , y bien.

  • @moonspellsillo si amico. ciao!!!

  • What's wrong with Paris Hilton? She is attractive, sweet, horny, good in bed, funny, and rich. I would trade all my Rush albums for her.

  • @areolaman But she has no many STD'S your dick would fall off, no dick and no rush = life LOST

  • @Annonymus121 lololhahahha that is so funny it could be in a movie. You sound like Adam Sandler.

  • This is the best version of La Villa I've heard since the 1970's.

  • WHAT THE HELL IS ALEX TALKING ABOUT?

  • ......and now Alex can ad Lindsay No-brain to the list!!!

    RUSH RULES!!

  • F**king awsome to nail the bitch! Why is she so special to the media-she is a fucking REEETARD.

    Love the Lifeson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lifeson is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What are those rants and other things Alex is puking? Song goes from spectacular to a sort-of-stupid-muppet-telatubi­es-pansey-act then eventually recovers. Dump it Rush. Your fans are rockers not talkers. We can goo-goo-ga-ga some other time.

  • @LLH97921 a tradition b4 you were even a swimmer to an egg g~

  • @humbledrumah oops you're hurt. When did you start swimming? Hint on my age: I was there before Rush was touring Moving Pictures, and I was drinking alcohol legally too. I've attended many Rush concerts with no tradition of the kind until Lifeson put it into the set much later in his career. Most fans hate this wet-diaper-baby antic...it's supposed to be a rock show not the "Teletubbies" or "The Wriggles"! You're obviously too young to talk. You must be looking for Peewee Herman...ya think?

  • Comment removed

  • @humbledrumah your reaction states enough about you. the references are classic. your aggressive "dump it" line is truly a lack of vision. 

  • Why on earth did Alex bring up Paris Hilton? What was the point?

  • amazing guitar and amazing band all together

  • Theres only three of them lads!!....and it sounds like 300....ahahahaha i love Rush WOOOOOT! And to all the haters, they are playing this, no lip syncs, no BS, no overdone effects....just pure raw fu**ing musical talent" nuff said.

  • just showed this to my 12 year old son .. "Best 3 man band ever" I said...

    "That's only 3 guys?!?!"

    "Yep" ...

  • @mosafef73 Best 3 man band ever? more like BEST BAND EVER (:

  • alguien puede traducir al español lo que diJo Alex??? in English: Can someone translate what Alex said?? PLEAAAAAASEE!!!!!!!!!!

  • LALALA

    LALALA

    oh thank you god for not making me paris hilton.

  • Amazing Band !!

  • lmao "WHERES YOU BRAIN!?!?!? WHERES YOUR BRAIN!?!?!?"

  • Holy Shit at 2:45 Neils playing the drums Stewart Copeland style. Don't show him this vid otherwise Stewart will think he's moved to the # 1 greatest drummer position now Lol...

    Oh wait I think that fool from Blink 182 and that guy from the poser punk band Green day think in there minds only that there better than the Professor.

  • @RGpranin Stewart Copeland is a close second, though.

  • the PRS has a really beautiful sound :-)

  • Agreed -- I wish he'd bring it back!

  • @RollTheFemers yeah same i agree

  • ha ha ha well said alex. paris hilton can go and impale herself on a big fuckin tree

  • the run at 5:15 OMG

  • la la la LA LA LA la la la LA LA LA..... I'd probably make her sick too, but you know what? I couldn't care less!! *jam out*

  • What the fuck are you talking about?

  • Consummate professionals... consummate prefessionals

  • Wheres your brain... Wheres your brain...

  • I guess they decided that with the appreciation of their music already firmly established, it wouldn't hurt any to set aside a minute of this tune to allow Alex to live out his life long "singing" fantasy

    One can see why it was imperative for him to become a great guitar player. Otherwise, he'd still be working his day job at Dinosaur Land

    If I were they, I wouldn't take that "firm establishment" too much for granted... a Bronchial-saurus voice like that can kill even Rush's career

  • I remember a little while after she first came on the scene. I said to a friend, "she has all the money in the world but wanted fame also. However, she possesses no talents so she made herself a tramp & fame she got"

    I get a feeling that not only I noticed

  • la la lalala la la lalala lol paris hilton o pictures

  • perhaps it has sleep apnea, or you can't hang in the cave rant a sauraus for when guano hath been flungen, we become human contrived plastic guitar glenn beck muppet voice preview 2010 and again. She Paris only wants me, ranter,so wank wank wank, wank and a wank off :]

  • that solo is fucking great! RUSH AHHH

  • OMG, Alex is so flippin weird.

  • WOW, Alex was in the groove on that first solo. I don't think I've ever heard him sound so good.

  • I never get tired of Geddy's sound...it sounds the the bass is snortin' and growlin'

  • perhaps it has sleep apnea, or you can't hang in the cave rant a sauraus for when guano hath been flungen, we become human contrived plastic guitar glenn beck muppet voice preview 2010 and again. She Paris only wants me, ranter,so wank wank wank, wank and a wank off :]

    JJ

  • Rush will always have one more tour in them, or a few more shows. They love to play too much to quit! Long live Rush and their love for music.

  • Man, i am learning this song on the drums and a came across the thought that snakes and arrows could be their last tour

  • Comment removed

  • Whoa, you actually edited this video, unlike other fan recordings. Kudos, man!

  • Neil Peart ROCKS!!! He's just the BEST!!!!

  • One of the most emotional guitar solos I've ever heard. Gives me chills every time, pure genius. :)

  • A-FREAKIN-MEN

  • Alex is awssom hes a guitar god

  • lol, Paris Hilton? I wouldn't be afriad of her, who's she got to back her up besides her daddy? Rush fans would come from miles around to stand up for Alex, FEEL THE RUSH!

  • The old Live in Rio concert rant...wonder why P.H. never sued Alex...ahh it wasn't said in the U.S. that's why. P.H. Shouldn't make Alex sick. The people that consume P.H. should.

  • Since when did a cause of action arise for saying a public figure makes you sick and your glad you are not born as her. First, truth is a complete defense to slander. Second, he has every right to say whatever he wants about the slut. Does not matter if he says it US or not. Opinions are NOT statements of FACT and are NOT actionab
