Rush Natural Science Live

[jccote2536]

did I write "Gobson's?" obviously, Gibson

[jccote2536]

How many buding authors, sci-fi, other genres, have used any number of Rush tunes to kickstart their most creative writing. Gobson's Neuromancer, a timeless classic - read it while listening to 2112, Farewell To Kings, or this song, or Counterparts, WHATEVER, and hear the same voices in both words and music.

HOF Cleveland, be warned - history will look back a hundred years and say "This was THE BAND to induct" even beyond the greats of Zeppelin stature - and you guys MISSED IT!!

[wowbobwow37]

Best Rush song!!!

[thebigsuperbeatle]

Alex pants fell down @ 3:34

[Trippuh]

They are so very SPECIAL, because....the are make a ..f....... massive sound with only !!! 3 people ( Ask the members of Europe - Sweden)

They are Special in there own technic qualities !!!

They have no comment on religions, they are teachers in education and make people think about there lifequestions ! They are teachers !

They make unusual special music for everyone who can make the TIME to understand what they want to do.

Rush is Rush, no competition !!!

[baconpoptarts]

Love theses guys a lot, but Alex, i'm sorry but your too old here for leather pants brotha!!! lol.

[english2me]

sweet. can't wait for clockwork angels.

[baconpoptarts]

Depends on who you talk to I guess

[2010Freightliner]

damn.  smgdh

[solja19k]

Rush For Fucken Ever!!!

[teargarden]

best rock song EVER!

[joeldoer]

WOW great vid

[pandemic37]

I saw them on the "Permanent Waves" tour way back then, Best Concert Ever!

[pl0dd3r]

Fabulous version, great job. Thank you so much for uploading this.

[Rimshot247]

They need a "LOVE" button not just like button when it comes to Rush. ...these guys are the best!

[2112Wakey]

This track is probably their finest moment (and there's been a lot!). The best rock band of all time? Yes!

[metalskullking]

This is the best band i have every seen... ive heard this song literally... MILLIONS OF TIMES... i still get goosebumps every time.

[whoopadoopa]

Cant wait to see them in June. My absolute all time favorite Rush tune!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ToadEyesRulesAll]

Lol @ Alex's leather pants ^_^

[obscuremedia]

The date of this concert is prophetic. Less than a month and a half later, Neil would lose his daughter to that car accident and Rush's history would take a radical turn.

[masquesandmirrors]

@obscuremedia

Very very sad moment in their lives...if anything good came of it all, it is that they are never so close and appreciate what they have and each other in a vastly more profound way. I am so happy Neil now has Carrie and little Olivia in his life. They are a great trio and decent human beings on top of that! I respect not just their music but who they are as people. RUSH forever!

[coptersoisoi]

Isn't RUSH planning or planned last year a concert to play only old tunes from the 70s? I always hoped for such a concert but had they done so already I missed it. I also heard their next album might consist of new songs that are kind of the Majestic rock opera style like from Permanent Waves and Caress of steel and Fly By Night album. Who knows.. maybe it will catch on with newer bands.. if they only learned to actually play well orchestrate and dynamic music like rock bands in the 70s

[mediblue9]

His voice is like another musician in the band!

[cowboyfan35]

@TheAnalogKidGloves......... no it s definitely better played faster

[TheMheff101]

I was at this show, totally awsome performance

[crowjr2]

Geddy must have eaten his Wheaties before that performance! It's a good one ... he sounds great and appears to be having a great time.

[exhungarian]

Alex said this was the most challenging song to play live. He makes it look easy!

Yes, RUSH IS the greatest band ever!!! The reason RUSH is not in the R/R Hall of Fame is that the R/R Hall of fame does not deserve to have RUSH as a member.

[obscuremedia]

@exhungarian I agree. The R&R HOF is for pussies. Rush is not, therefore they're cooler.

[mrjohns66]

they shouldve been in the rocknroll hall of fame ten times over by now...in my opinion seen um 5 times...sound was note 4 note everytime...and lest not forget some of these songs more than ten minutes or more...great... for nowadays respected by many bands after them...ie queensryche and dream theater.

[donottawaguitar]

alex is guitar god

[ansem533]

WHY THE HELL AREN'T THEY IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!???

[axlslash808z]

1:30 and the cosmic like hyperspacey part are like, the best!

[tigrrwoodwannabe]

You seriously have some incredible videos! Thanks for posting them! Incredible how awesome they sound on a 17 year old song. WOW!!!

[execatty]

the segues from beginning to end of tidal pools is pure genius

[execatty]

this fukin rocks

[321charly321]

3 morons have so far missed the like button and hit dislike, don't join them, or else...

[andrewmusicworld]

AWSOME



[EffortlessAttempt]

oh my fucking god! *swoons* *gets back up* WOW

[lorneould]

love the tracks, best acoustic les paul ever...

[iwillstompyourgrapes]

@lorneould You know he's playing a PRS, correct?

[JokerWood]

nice



[bignz721]

Neil's mastery of drums is even more apparent in this vid, without him being shown on camera

[bittersylence1]

drrrrrroooooool!

[SandSpock33]

yah! Rush was and shall ever be. Up there with the greatest ever Greats. As great music as any composers constructed.

[balimoon06]

Dayum!  Thanks for sharing!!!

[nuvemcaos]

State of integrity man

[mrthundaboots]

How cool is it to be in the same band from the same neighborhood,with your best buddies? For over 40 years?When the smoke clears and the rest of the world wakes up,there will be some staggering stats. Rush should be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for their humanitarian work as well!

[burnsmay]

This song is what rockmusic is about.Melody,drive,mystery,gre­at lyrics.

Waiting for their next concert

[titolili]

I love this song

[CHHSE1986]

Geddy..... You make us fellow Hebes so proud!!!

[MCGETRICK2]

best band ever......that is all.....

[JBodine67]

Eureka!!!!....Now I know where I've seen Alex's hair cut before......The Friendly Giant!

Probably only Canuks will get that one.

[ePhilosopher9]

it's great to see them enjoying theirselves

[ePhilosopher9]

how many bits of cheese did again Alex devour in one short lived sitting?

[cableguy273]

love it!!

[rockandroll4life1]

they are the most underrated band of all time.

and the best power trio of all time.

[belphegor79]

the fact that Alex plays these arpeggios flawlessly every time is fuckin amazing

[dimikouzz]

pekse me sta xeria sou san sfaira

peta me psila ston aera

dwse mou pnoi ap' tin pnoi sou

na ksanagennithw mazi sou

[jtoshawa]

And another thing....not only do we here in Canada have the best country to live in, the best hockey players and the best comedians.....we also have the best band in the world!!!

[93ym]

seems you think too much of canada, but you are absolutely right, nobody could possibly top Rush.

[zwind999]

great video, but no shots of neil??? where's fuckin neil???

[zigzaghookie]

Lol Alex never gets shots so this is acually good.

[zwind999]

"Living in their pools they soon forget about the sea"

[LuckilyHeDied]

Maybe the best lyric ever written.

[jtoshawa]

Natural Science...the best rock song ever recorded!!! That it includes The Beatles, The Stones, Zepplin....etc....

[Jimmy1tooth]

@jtoshawa better then 3 hall of fame bands?r u crazy

[waffelcone]

@Jimmy1tooth you clearly don't understand "skill" in terms of music. It's not about how many records you sell or money you make or awards and honors, it's about the musical skill you possess. And Rush has plenty of skill to go around.

[Jimmy1tooth]

@waffelcone read what i based my comment on ,but this time read it slooow

[waffelcone]

@Jimmy1tooth you based it on the hall of fame...which is based on nothing. the hall of fame doesn't mean anything at all (in terms of musical skill/talent, i will not say it means nothing as it is an honor to be inducted) so you really only based it on other people's opinions (that you may happen to share).

[Jimmy1tooth]

@waffelcone i told you to read my comment slooow ,guess you cant follow directions

[execatty]

@jtoshawa beatles stones suck..they were just paved the trail...u can not listen to the same songs all day..i can listen to this song all year..........rush is the greatest of all time...lyrically...the lord feeds peart his lyrics....

[realroadrunner69]

@jtoshawa plz ur on dope

[razorblade42069]

This and Camera Eye, my faaavorite.

[McGwinn]

definitely in the top 5 of Rush's tracks. I love it! Progressive at it's best

[TheSubdivisions]

One of my favorite songs from RUSH! #1 band!! They are so inspirational and all of there songs send a message out! Neil Peart is so smart and so coordinated! He is the Professor!!!!!

[mrskeithmoon]

man they got quite a tempo goin there compared to the studio version and their more recent live versions. its kinda cool tho i like it

[Aquila167]

I love Rush I think they are the greatest Proggesive Rock bands of the 70's, 80's, 90's and today. I like them more than Pink Flyod. Just my opinion. This song sounds sick when played on guitar!!!!

[GreatTippy]

in my opinion, rush definitely qualifies for best band of all time period.

[rachelweiszfan1]

i HIGHLY agree! :D

[maggot1111666]

@GreatTippy

100% agree with you

[tigrrwoodwannabe]

@GreatTippy - Not that they give a hoot, but how can they NOT be in the R & R HOF? A disservice to them in my humble opinion. Not only the best band, but second to none when it came to performing LIVE!!! Amazing for 3 guys to be so harmonious. RUSH RULES!!!!

[DarkMage965]

@GreatTippy you couldnt have put it any better my friend. Natural science may be the greatest song of all time. These guys should be remembered for years and years like mozart etc . The holy TRIFECTA.

[mediblue9]

@GreatTippy It's like who didn't they influence! To me, it's all about the contributions Rush has made to RNR!

[liberamor]

@GreatTippy i think the same!! great musicians, but great writer also...

[DavidOwenWard]

@GreatTippy Nawww, but close!!! In the top 5!!

[superunt43]

@GreatTippy And I would readily argue that point!!!!

[thefoosa72]

2:30 sounds like dream theaters "the great debate"

[oncelosthorizon]

I've always noticed a similarity.

[AgentFour]

You mean Dream Theater's song 'The Great Debate' sounds like the part at 2:30 into this song.

Permanent Waves was released in 1980, Dream Theater formed in 1985.

[thefoosa72]

I know. I was just saying that they sound the same.

[ljguitar91]

Rush rape that 7/8!

brilliant band

[Vatch1966]

Great song off a great Rush Album PERMANENT WAVES

[Kalipollo]

A simple kind of mirror...

[thehulk1965]

Rush is the greatest musical band ever!! now fuckoff!! :)

[toolatescissors]

Gotta love that guitar solo

[BigBusiness5]

Geddy looks like he's having fun.

[satanspenis999]

Why doesn't Geddy play his Rick anymore?

[deadbeatdad]

He did on the most recent tour on one song, "Passage to Bangkok" but he just did that for the fans and because his tech (Russ) talked him into it. He really prefers the sound of the Jazz Basses.

[singler1]

A lot of folks may not have loved Signals, but I did

[bethshair]

how can you not like that album??

[matmoose]

It's unreasonable to expect anything in the world to be quite as fucking mindblowingly excellent as the studio version of this.

[bandgeekdrummer13]

and it sucks ass because i can't find it on youtube =( i bet the drums sound amazing.

[WantNoBeef]

they do! =)

[kev5655]

7:04 GUITAR HUMPING!! LOFL!!!

[givmetube1]

You can sure tell they haven't played this song in a while. Their all over the place.

[bewitchedblonde]

i dont get how they arent on tv or radio not famous and they have half the nation at their shows but not everyone has heard of them

[Bauer493]

the reason they aren't on radio is because the only thing the radio plays now days is that rap crap, and even on the rock stations all they play is led zeppelin. The reason they aren't on TV is because they aren't very mainstream, and Neil doesn't like to go on tv and do public stuff since his daughter and wife died in like 95' .Geddy and Alex sometimes do interviews and smaller shows. Ive seen them on Vh1 classic once or twice, but mostly they stay out of the media "limelight". (pun intended)

[drix224]

best explanation ever

[seventhbrokenstring]

they play rush on my radio all the time dude.

[stallionplaya52]

I agree. Only the shitty modern day music is played on the radio. Just because something is on the radio, doesn't necessarly mean its good. Fan base and popularity have no effect on how talented a band is. That's the difference from classics and modern-day.

[ePhilosopher9]

matbe it's that the individual can't even rely on their own fascist image to oh just shut up and play guitar, runaway train, and ayn rant and rave while some semblance makes battistera of it ffs.

[oncelosthorizon]

Huh? I hear Limelight being played all the time.

[shatabrick]

now this is a GREAT VID!!!!! Thanks!!!

[bds1167]

Best song on Permanent Waves!!!

[omble1]

Don't get me wrong, i love rush, but why do the drums sound so wrong? at 5:11 the snare sound terrible.

[ButSomethinGotToGive]

..and Mcnamara's Band hoists up unautre poised waiting choco DEEP INSERT OF A V HERE society. Granted my busy little creaturs

, bless you also in tenfold force paperpulp gulp's omg didnt thing you were complex, what are you 12?

[ButSomethinGotToGive]

when this song lasts beyond civilzation of humans as we knew it, i will laugh, reflect upon our own time. mine is 2009. the end approacheth? lest my comet passes again to cover me with sheets wearing my nike's in some complex. Quuuuantum Versa

[75starsuck]

sickness

[AbstractEnemyVideo]

Man, fantastic video!

Thanks a lot!

[clarioncall77]

the most memorable song from that tour, a forgotten masterpiece they brought out from the archives I believe they never performed the song live before this tour.... The spheres were wild!

[EthanWhateley]

Excellent Band!! great live show!!

[Qdrum803]

I FUCKING LOVE RUSH!!!!

[maxey5150]

my fav. is the end 4 mins of the song

[JustADoof]

leaves a vapor trail in a longtoothed barking tongue

[majordilligaf]

2:48-3:23 is amaziing

[RollTheFemers]

Great video! I love the part from 3:13 to 3:22. Good ol' Dirk and Lerxst. :-D

[Rebekuku]

Tight show! You can see there pleased. I think dudes head was blocking Peart by the way, calm down he was there.

[goldmilla]

i know neil is a legend, but geddy and alex are too! wat the hell is wrong with leaving him out for ONE VIDEO. besides, at least you got to see him a bit

[ifitfeelsgoodwearit]

I met Geddy at the June 25th 1997 show at Jones Beach (I have the autograph and MANY pictures to prove it). This looks like a bootleg from that show because they were wearing the same clothes at the show. Is it the same show? Also seen them in NY area on every tour including "Moving Pictures" in '81. So about 30 or more times plus the highest honor of talking to Geddy getting an autograph and photos.

[RollTheFemers]

This video is from the Toronto show at the Molson Ampitheatre on June 30th, 1997.

[transcendrage1]

No...you get to see the outline of lifesons nutsack in

his tight leather pants.. so deal with it and quit bitching

[paulie0706]

what the hell is this? an awesome song with an awesome drum part and the most we get to see of peart is his crash and china?? whats up with that?

[danbrown4life]

who gave this comment a thumbs down??

probably some snooty guitarist. =D

[Scmagmafreak]

i totally agree with this guy.

peart is a legend, u have disrespected him.

shame on u!

[AdamV92]

Ok, This is what ticks me off!! Great song and a HUGE 2 THUMBS DOWN on whoever filmed this.. What is with the Geddy Lee and Lifeson exclusive? If I filmed this. It's ALL EYES ON PEART. Sure you want to get Lee and Lifeson too, but this jackass did not get Peart at all. What disrespect for the LEGEND!!!!

[paulie0706]

i agree with you 100% my comment was about the same thing and yet i get a thumbs down. all were doing is making a good point.

[yoututer1211]

best rush song

[drfunk444]

Its so weird how they do the first verse twice. On the album its once. I know Rush will cut stuff, but adding another verse I thought was strange.

[goldmilla]

on all their live cds it has the first verse twice

[bohs1984]

This is one of my favorite Rush songs. Sounds so great live. Thanks for the post.

[myrushsongs]

Think rush might be a drug..jkjk there so freakin' aswesome

[ePhilosopher]

the eiger sanction

burning brite

leaves a vapor

[Billykid514]

Madonna is the Hall and not RUSH? burn it down now!

[ePhilosopher]

Madonna gap-toothed malnar

[andymanscar]

Rush did get the Walk of Fame

[RabidGrif]

Drums are very loud.

But that really adds to this, I love it =D.

[PaBasser]

The more you listen to them, the more you appreciate them. No one does it better. Addicted to that RUSH...

[Sassylittlegirl]

Is it me, or does this sound remarkably like the Different Stages version?

[eddievanlerxst2112]

That's because it's the same show

[222222hot]

? anyone no why my playing of most videos.,, stop at every 3/6 seconds fkn did it again somebody helpme here,,,,!!!!thanks

[maxmaxmax7]

xanadurush i want to sharing with u i love rush max from spain

[aragonia23]

This is my favorite Rush song.

[hydroguy22]

awesome tune, mind blowing changes.

[ePhilosopher]

or did the audience have me?

[tubepiss99]

"I'm not aware of too many things, I know what I know if you know what I mean" same key

[thedudarino]

omg i saw rush at darien lake july 4th it was amazing they played natural science and witch hunt!! sweetness simply sweetness

[musicrushfan]

RUSH is the greatest band ever. I've seen them 21 times and hope to see them 21 more.

[clixby2007]

ref (iggy fritz) ive watched rush for 25 years, first gig stafford bingley hall 1980 and many more since, i went 5 times in 1 week on the r30 tour,

i will be taking my 11 year old son in october to sheffield but i will be going to newcastle,manchester, birmingham, in my opinion no other band has been able to get any where near them,

[onager16]

I still say Anthem is one of the bands best

[onager16]

Rush will NEVER DIE!!!

[rekar1]

One of my favorite rush songs ever.

[iggyfritz]

I have seen every Rush tour since 1980 and I am here to say they have never disapointed me, one of the worlds best bands live period!! even to this day they are the best live act.

[gitardave]

fuckin` nuts B...The best of the best, wish it were a good hi-def of this song. Anyone got one?

[AbuBakrislam]

Para os brasileiros: Este foi o melhor show já realizado no Brasil!

[PloKoon133]

Rush ARE the best live band ever - just watch Rush In Rio. I'm going to see them this year at Wembley (H)
