Rush - Tom Sawyer (Live)

[Cr4nium13]

Rush+Southpark= God, Best intro to a song ever!

[Solitarious2011]

A modern day warrior

Named Tom Sawyer

He floated down a river

On a raft with a black guy.

Just pure genious, love it :)

[MsDarkPassengerNo1]

3:28 Woah!!! Look at THE DRUMS!! :O

[federere10]

que buena banda mierda,son muy buenos los conosco hace poco.

[TheThecrazyone]

I get a nose bleed listening to this song! Hell yeah

[SDsailor7]

These guys are such jokers..It's probably a riot hanging out with these guys...south park LOL.

[METALeone]

Thats one of the best music a drummer can play! Look at this!!!!! 00:00 - 6:00 ITS SO AMAZING!

[clockwork130]

Is it just more or are his eyes glowing red. 4:49 - 4:54

[legodarknight101]

The GREATEST drum solo in the history of rock!

[mattyy101]

haha awesome i <3 cartman

[TheTemplesOfBravado]

LOL! Alex rules! (BTW, epic dancing @ 2:25!)

[90DAdmin]

Such Bass!!! I'll have whatever Alex is having!

[bigdog7013]

HOLLY COW! i didnt know howard stern had a band :o

[amna1314]

anybody air drumming? forever kick ass...!

[skelogon2]

RUSH is only 3 guys? whaaaa?

[bassN4a0z0i1]

@skelogon2 yeah

[marriamwebster69]

Stonehenge 5:10

[PieEatinguy]

Complex, deep music and insane talent. So glad to say they come from Canada. Neil rules.

[TheBrendoMan1]

Alex at 3:08 had a little message to send :)

[klausbreuer2]

I love this song,No Changes!

[MrJacklips]

Was that a nod to Cheech and Chong at the end? (Earache my eye?)

[joelescaner]

yah!!!! and still they rock!

[THELOBATOMIZER]

always Rush in my car

[Alvinegro1904]

I love music with the bass upfront but it is so loud in this DVD that I see Geddy on the synthesizer thinking:

"OH NO, THAT BOTTOM END IS GONNA COME UP AND MAKE EVERY SUB WOOFER IN THE WORLD JUMP, SHIT, NOW THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN"

Geddy playing the bass is amazing, but the guitar got shy with this production, and that's terrible

[cooper9563]

@Alvinegro1904 who ever put this up just remixed it, i have the actual dvd and it sounds much better

[TheCurlyfriess]

oh cartman

[GangreneVagina]

LOL! Geddy's bass is SOOO much louder than Alex's guitar. Haha!

[rogermoore293]

slappa da beasss

[ranger14892]

the best 3 man band of all time, with props to zz top as 2nd, in my eyes.

[judestubbs]

PEART YOUR SET IS SO SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[heapbigtalk]

makes me feel like a youngin again ~ where's my seeds !! ~

[iCorbinator]

Greatest song ever.

[jabezscratch]

I want this song played at my funeral.

[TheThechokmah777]

One of the BEST classic rock songs in history, AWESOME talent and song!

[loudmusicman4]

this is the only time you will ever see this statement: Epic Bass Solo

[ENEMENCIO123VISION]

Awesome Ending With Cheech And Chong !!!

[TheThechokmah777]

DAMN COOL



[PUFY07PUNK]

Fuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! yeahhhhhhhh!!!

[TheBorjamz]

RUSH Words unavilable to describe. WOW!!!!

[raponte1955]

#1) Neil Peart

#2) John Bonham

#3) Keith Moon

[brandonlace]

@raponte1955 I may disagree with the order, but there is no denying that those three drummers were/are the best ever.

[raponte1955]

Geddy Lee always sounded to me like the typical nerd playing "Dungeons and Dragons" 24 hrs a day.

[ch1kenbo1]

@raponte1955 Seriously fuck yes! Perfect way to describe this band. The drumming is amazing, the guitar is alright, the bass lines are so sick, but the voice. . . that voice man!

[akhringo]

not to be a troll but i think the bass should have been turned down just a bit. i could barely here the guitar part

[irena7777777]

@akhringo They did this for the Time Machine tour but the heavily accented bass sounds better, IMO.

[larochea103]

Rush and Chuck forever

[rollingstonesgirl99]

2:19 he gets high on you XDD

this song is amazing and the music is just brilliant. neil peart is amazing <3

[therealraybaby]

#146(Tie)

[BestUsernameIGot]

Not that I don't like Geddy Lee's bass playing...but come on, you can't hear Lifeson's guitar!

[uspsamaster]

One word.... AESOME!!!!!!!! Thanks for upload!

[belladonnadream]

mr. blondy is hunch back

[innationoftards]

I just love watching these guys - still having fun after all these years. They don't take themselves too seriously and appear to love what they do.

[redbull8382]

my video paused right before the drum solo.....im crying

[Armadyl900]

the back-up guitarist is like stoned as fuck....

[roentgen571]

@Armadyl900 Back up guitarist?  There's only one guitarist up there--Alex Lifeson.

[AndrewHaselman]

one cannot simply resist the urge to air drum on this song.

[TurriPi]

@AndrewHaselman One cannot simply resist the urge to air drum on any Rush song

[TheSicknessIsTheCure]

Neil Peart uses a double pedal instead of 2 bass drums, because we can't be taking up too much room.... Wait...

[roentgen571]

@TheSicknessIsTheCure He does use two bass drums, doesn't he?

[TheSicknessIsTheCure]

@roentgen571 Well, one's electric. He used to use 2 acoustic bass drums, but now uses a single bass drum with a double pedal, I do believe

[MsThebeMoon]

Luv these guys. The fountain of youth lies in music like this.

[awesomedrummer22]

2:15 someone had some to drink before goin on stage. 

[SpeedyTase]

@awesomedrummer22 That's Alex everyday!

[salem0093]

@awesomedrummer22 its holland, i dont think its a drink hes had

[jurnag12]

@salem0093 Which makes the fact that the next line was "He gets high on you" even better.

[emilmoss]

@awesomedrummer22 Or something to smoke 2:21 :D

[billthegangsta]

why is alex lifeson freakin out?

[joedemis]

Boy how much do these guys still love playing in the band together? You can see they still love it even after all these years!!

[joedemis]

There is a very real chance they may be the greatest rock band of all time...Zeppelin is in a different category, as is AC/DC...All have a shot at being number one, it just depends on what you like!

[gpr544]

My vote of 0 to 10

Justin Bieber: 0

Rush: INFINITE

[roplan61]

meine jugend musik#



[dickinsonroxx]

where the fuck did all the talented people go?no bands today even approach this level.

[23chopperrob]

EPIC BASS

[jaeasia]

As in the words of the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons..."Best band....ever!!"

[JustanotherNobody12]

Colorado? Oh... that's the metric conversion of Canada. Before you complain about the R&R HOF, just remember its in Cleveland. I'm sure they want you to go there at some point if they elect you in so if I were in Rush I'd prefer not to be inducted.

[mamanatare1]

i strongly dislike niel peart....

[r3n3gade420]

@mamanatare1 fuck you...

[misternipples100]

happy rush day 2/1/12

[thecomfortisnow]

this is what you get when you have bands that are united unlike GNR and a whole bunch others who break-up for dumb fights.

[guyclark1958]

absolutey awesome, i am and (old rush) fan from the early 70's and have been playing guitar and bass since i was 6 year;s old (1964) my wife at this moment is watching american idol with (that sell outwashed up piece of crap) steven tyler, she think's that garbadge is talent, i don't! as the late great ronnie dio called it, american karioki

[BrenMan94]

Hey! He uses Rotosound 66s like me! :D

[xX60DemonDrummer09Xx]

happy Febuary 1st of 2012 aka Rush Day; 2/1/12

[ooperj]

i think r and r hall of fame is a beautiful place full of elvis motown and.....wtf...really? if i was in charge i would fire myself!

[Depending1996]

fucking awsome :D



[red9rd]

0:08 - 0:27 for a second i thought are these really the lyrics

[twinkyllamas]

Man these Rock, love Rush!!!!

[diegog017]

hey change that shit they are not playing in the houston rodeo, its the gay band big time rush!! do not confuse themmmmm its not fair for RUSH!! Which should be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!

[DougDinsdale]

I don't listen to Rush much; most of their stuff isn't really my cup of tea. But how can anyone not LOVE this?!? At every level; 1st rate musicianship, great sound, hilarious intro, mildly restrained euphoria- THEY love what they do. And I bet the 12 people who disliked it were STILL playing air guitar, bass or drums along to it.

[Tubulardude007]

So that's what happened to Spinal Tap's stone henge

[targuscat]

live forever RUSH love u

[tommythewop1969]

Did anyone notice the little Stonehenge thing on his keyboard. It has to be a nod to Spinal Tap.

[brolymrinal]

@tommythewop1969 Nice observation!!! 

[chieftain0115]

South Park hahah

[TheGudih]

i love Rush, its 1 of my favortite bands , but the guitarist was acting like an idiot

[HardRockWaffle]

at 3:05 geddy looks like an angry parakeet witch thingy...

dont judge me.

[PLANETXLABS]

Forget south park, Nobody rocks harder than Rush, one of the best performances ever!

Rock on!!

[MsAnnieTyler]

whoa did alex just flip off the audience at 3:09 ?

[scarstruck496]

The fact that Rush is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a travesty. Lots of bands in there couldn't hold a candle to these guys.

[aynrandgirl]

I like the little stonehenge model Geddy has on his keyboard. A Spinal Tap reference?

[TheGuitarmazter]

EEEPICOOOO!!! south park tocando tom sawyer.... lazo!

[MrDrummerpony]

lifeson is fucking hilarious

[rnbnj444961]

WHERE WAS THIS

[NAAMxLOOS]

@rnbnj444961 I think in Rotterdam, The Netherlands

[javelin1010]

RUSH is CANADIAN and we're proud of it. The so called R&R Hall of Fame be damned. We have so many great Canadian groups...and we're keeping them..but we'll share them with the rest of the world. PS. Some great Cdns from all walks....Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Nickelback, Lorne Green, William Shatner, Christopher Plummer, April Wine, Lighthouse, John Collicos, John Candy, Michael J Fox, Dan Akroyd, Pamela Anderson, Dave Thomas, The Trailer Park Boys, Corner Gas, North of 60, SCTV,etc etc. Amen

[PlayWithGuitar]

Check out our song

Abstractium - Heaven is blind

[PlayWithGuitar]

yeah

[metalheaddrummer101]

[bettypro]

[rnbnj444961]

3:40 who says you can't work and smile and laugh and enjoy your job?!?!

[rnbnj444961]

@rnbnj444961 5:40 actually

[joaopedrolp1]

[yoyo3324j]

[Gusgpc]

Tá lenta essa versao ...rs....será que os velhinhos estao ficando cansados ? rsrs

[Doom3695]

fuck u asshole dont mislabel this amazing song i love southpark but not assholes, fuck all of you who give this rickroll a thumbs up

[NAAMxLOOS]

@Doom3695 lolwat?

[rnbnj444961]

2:21 statement fueled by skill, love, and pure rock and roll =D

[a7xbfmv23]

lol a whammy bar on a les paul is like watching a dog trying to ice skate

[Jwestcott5000]

The fathers and gods of prog rock, so cool even the South Park guys love them. They rarely get their due in the media because they're Canadian (and well beyond the musical understanding of most of the masses) but the true fans know... this is one of the greatest rock bands in history.

[music5productions]

@Jwestcott5000 So right. Screw the Rock and Roll Hall of Shame...

[midnightforever1]

@music5productions There In The Hall Of Shame!??! WTF IS WRONG WITH THEM!!! RUSH FUCKING ROCKS

[monza7800]

@Jwestcott5000 Southpark creators are canadian.

[Jwestcott5000]

@monza7800 Wikipedia says they're American. I'm pretty sure if they were Canadian I'd know as I am one. We'd be pretty proud of them.

[motocrossisrelign63]

@Jwestcott5000 What wikipedia are you looking at bud? They're Canadian and it's a crying shame you didn't know that. I can say I am proud of them...

[Disembow1280]

@monza7800 They're from Colorado, dumbass.

[SpartanB27]

@Disembow1280 nope there from canada moron

[LADCUS]

Is NP the only sane one??

[wrsamson]

The mark of a quality band is the ability to transfer their recorded music to the stage...well let's just say RUSH as accomplished this task

[KlDSWAGG]

IT AINT EASY BEING CHEESY

[toolbandfan23]

I got blistas on me fingas!!

[4373fg]

all 3 of these guys are in their 60s and still are the BEST at what they do

[wurzman05]

Neil Peart makes this look too damn easy! One of the top 3 rock drummers of all time easily. 3 world class musicians right here! Also, nice haircut at 4:29...

[SkilledEddie]

@wurzman05

Sorry dude neil aint in the top 3 or top 10 in my opinion. Buddy Rich 1, Ginger Baker 2, Bohnham 3

[loweydude220]

@SkilledEddie You're entitled to your own opinion, as I am entitled to possess the opinion that your opinion sucks balls.

[rnbnj444961]

@loweydude220 and you're entilited to the opionion that your acting your dick size.

[loweydude220]

@rnbnj444961 14? Yeah, 14 inches, you know me too well for someone who never met.

[rnbnj444961]

@loweydude220 i don't need to meet you, you're immature, i'm surprised you didn't say something worse. you want everyone to be immature just like you?

[loweydude220]

@rnbnj444961 Not really, and I don't see me being immature. Stop bringing hate to a rush video as well.

[Evocati2008]

@loweydude220

lol well said.

[Evocati2008]

@SkilledEddie

lol, hate much?

[wurzman05]

@SkilledEddie I agree with Rich being in there. Dude was a pioneer. I understand your argument for Bohnham too, but Ginger Baker above Neil? That's just absurd to me. Baker definitely wouldn't be in my top ten. I'd put Keith Moon and maybe even Mitch Mitchell in there before Baker. Steve Gadd and Dave Weckl too if you wanted to call them rock drummers, although that's a stretch. Beauty of opinion though, right?

[87mmm]

12 people are retarded, and that is why they dont like this VIDEO

[XiboerHann]

2011 performed?!

[TdvanDuijn]

@XiboerHann 2007, or 2008. can't remember.

[nigelregan]

Holy shit! that's one bad ass drummer!! strange how we never really hear much about him as a living legend but surely he's every bit as good as Bonzo? Copeland? Downey? etc. But Alex is a right twat! haha

[bollier38]

Chuck's Song !

[toddkur]

Still as brilliant as ever!!!

Shame about the sound of that shite Fender bass......

[LBird44]

was this in toronto?

[infernadrumer]

That was bad ass

[KendallFlanagan]

play some diane sawyer or something

[SSShops]

The one... The only... RUSH!!

[71MARTIND28]

Can someone tell me the exact model/year of the Les Paul Alex is playing?

[71MARTIND28]

Never mind...found it.

[bennygrebisawesome]

Alex turned gay at 2:27

[nanobastaddo]

mini stonehenge on keyboard at 1:09!

a tribute to spinal tap?

[deseed]

They wrote this song about me and didn't even know it....:)

[bupez1]

I didn't know john lennon was in Rush. hmn. small world......

[deathmaniac95]

Nice!...

[brickceo]

Remember when Geddy played with a pick. Such an improvement in sound and speed.

[loocow1554]

lol best intro ever

[Ludwigzildjian1]

@dandoch1080 one word... practice
