Get over it people. There is not going to be another Hemispheres (from the early days) or Moving Pictures (from the pinnacle years). That one band did both albums at all is amazing in itself.
@klstay that one band, did Rush, Fly by night, Caress of steel, 2112, A
Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Signals, Grace under pressure........... Is amazing. So many different tunes, so much to love.
@weasel7763 no argument here. I have had all of those releases first on vynil, then tape, then CD. All great stuff, but Hemispheres and Moving Pictures still stand above the other releases from around those two periods. (Caress admittedly was an early hint that something as epic as Hemispheres might be simmering in the background...)
@klstay vinyl was the best why bother with the tape, just record it from vinyl on the old 80s tape deck, (Nakamichi), the 1st CD of this sounded horrid
@Thornography13 the last 20 yr was the worst period, nothing from the studio made any lasting impact or influence, all mostly studio flops. Best period was 1977-1987.
I saw this video played four times from 5:30 am until 5:30 pm (0530-1730) on MTV on Jul 5, 1984, the day I went to Parris Island for boot camp. The memory of that day is still as clear as if it happened yesterday.
MTV 1984. I remember this video being played constantly. Neil and the rat-tail mullet behind the red Tama kit, Alex with his New Wave look rocking out on his red Strat and Geddy with the mullet rocking on the Steinberger bass looking the typical New Wave look with sneakers, sport coat, Miami Vice trousers. I wouldn't hear all of GUP until Christmas 1990 and still one of Rush's best albums EVER!
One of the sickest guitars in Lifeson's collection. Red custom Strat with a Floyd Rose locking ,mirror pickguard and H.S.S setup with toggle to switch in the cut-away!
It's actually "Absalom", who was one of David's sons in the Old Testament. Although the way it's phrased makes me think it refers to the William Faulkner novel "Absalom, Absalom".
@samboy1288 Alright. How about you record yourself playing this song better than Rush, and while you're at it, get ahold of the the mid 80's technology used to make this video and recreate it better than the original. If you can't do that, then obviously you don't have a valid point.
@fendergibs Interesting comments. Are you a musician? Grace Under Pressure was marked by a departure from Producer Terry Brown (Broon). The album was produced by RUSH themselves, and they worked long, grueling 14 hour days at Le Studio in Toronto perfecting what many consider to be a masterpiece and one of RUSH's finest works. Count me in as a huge fan of this album, and I am a musician 35 yrs experience. I find your critique of this work quite harsh and way off the mark.
@rkl17 again this is not comment on the musical material itself which is very good but rather the recording quality which is horrible. . Rush did spend a lot of time on his record but the recording still sucks. Brown had actually decent recordings which actually got worse after he left (except for power windows) despite so-called advances in technology. live recordings recently have improved as the high-definition has forced engineers to raise the audio standards to match.
@fendergibs Additionally, you mentioned Steely Dan's AJA, which was produced by Hollywood legend Al Schmitt, who has 21 Grammys under his belt, including for AJA. He is a great producer no doubt, but this album was produced by RUSH themselves. I do not hear anything at all that you claim in your critique. Red Sector A and The Enemy Within sound very dynamic and alive with broad sound. Maybe you should tell Geddy & Alex that they suck? Sounds like you have an axe to grind mate.
@rkl17 i have an axe to grind with bands that have the means & talent to play but blow off the recording as an after thought or that it doent matter ?? playing this record on any higher resolution system ( not your plastic computer speakers) immediately demonstrates the recordings severe limitations. This is not comment on the musicianship or quality of songs, is a comment specifically on the engineering and recording quality only. Steely Dan's AJA predates by 10 years and blows it away
@fendergibs Fully agree with you. that album is just smokin. Beginning to end, just like Vapor Trails for me and I really get into it.. And just think, if albums didnt differ then you guys wouldnt have nothin to bicker about if they all had the best sound. Remember. There isnt love without pain...
@rkl17 Peter Henderson was the Assisting as Producer.. Although they did work on it themselves because Steve Lillywhite backed out at the last minute.
@kennyplay should have waited for a real producer, the sound qualitty is marginal at best, the next rec PW, although not as good as grace in terms of content, has much better sound quality
@Xzonza1 mid 80 tec has nothing to do with it . Frank Sinatra recordings from the 50s & 60s blow away rush's rock recording in terms of production quality. there are great recording from every era that has more to do with the producer & sound eng than what decade they were made as a good analog recording will sound better than a modern digital one. u have no concept of sound & production quality, which has nothing to do with musicanship.
@fearsomesnow no it just pisses me off that with all the money they just made from MP selling 5 million copies they could not find a producer and record P/G well. or they just didnt know any better or care?.. You can barely hear neil's drum frills as the sound is compressed into a lifeless flat pancake, the sound should pop out like in witch hunt. your only at your peak for a few yrs & this was in that era, once its gone all the remastering in the world cant save a bad recording
@fearsomesnow BS, buy a decent stereo system & stop listening to music through your computer and u will care . get a turntable and some real speakers, stop playing mp3 files
@fearsomesnow do u think a guy who refrences a Frank Sinatra recording listens to crap like that, who's the idiot? go get a system like I told you, save up get a rega plana 1 TT and a 75$ MM audio Tec pick-up and some old min monitor dynaudio speakes and u will here rush for the 1st time
Even if you listen to it with poor quality speakers/headphones, you should be able to tell that it was poorly recorded. The guitars sound muddy and, at least in Kid Gloves, there is noticeable tape hiss (at least I think that's what it is, although I could be wrong). On the other hand, the sound quality can easily pass as listenable, unlike Vapor Trails, which I can only listen to a couple songs in one sitting.

@poddish VT is consider one of the worst modern recordings of all time, compressed, loud, lifeless recording that even Alex wanted to re-record as all the remastering in the world coudnt save
@Jorsalfar poorly recorded & produced, compressed sound with siblence horrible. power windows much better recording, then they went back to crap recordings in hyf, not sure why they had the money.
I have to wonder...What would this song have sounded like if it were produced like 'Vapor Trails' was...Okay now sure it isn't a good think but...YOU DO have to wonder what some of their other songs would've sounded like if it were produced like 'Vapor Trails' was you know.
holly shit... this Mr Peart (the drummer) is a martian... he is one of the greatest rock n roll drummer of all time ...definitly in the top 5 ....
I understand Mr Harris - the bass player and leader of Iron Maiden - who say that is favourite band is no less than Rush! there's worst opinion i think !
Definitely the top one! To watch him work live convinces you that he is not there just to keep time. He makes you believe that percussion can be an instrumental consideration itself...
@clifdyvr so you're ready to hear again the multi-minutes drum solo into "In a gadda da vidda" (of iron butterfly) ... or the quite boring Toad by the Cream... but i imagine that Neil Peart knows (instinctly?) when to stop his pyrotechnic moves he is potentially more modern... The musical decade that i love the most is the 70s... but i've got to admit that some neverending solos were maybe a little excessive...and the weak point of that time
impressionant ! i never saw this video before... i always thought that i was not a fan of "grace under pressure" i don't have the album... but i've heard a few parts here and there...and i found it too commercial sounding... but this song is really good... i should give a real chance to the album...
Well the video never explicitly shows him getting blown up or anything. I agree with you, though. I'm not even sure if any of these new bands would even think about doing a video like this. I don't watch MTV or VH1 anymore, but I can't imagine any videos being introspective in this way anymore.
Music from this P/G album is still fresh; it was really ahead of its time and pushing the envelope in '84. Overall, music & especially musicianship really hasn't advanced much in the last 27 years.
Oh, geddy and his goofy bass. I read in an interview that he slowly began to hate the sound of that Steinberger, that it completely lacked the high-end attack he needed, and that he only preferred it because he'd be less likely to knock over his keyboard stand on stage. I never guessed he'd used it in a video.
Thank goodness Rush aren't known for their videos - The best band in the world let down by a crumbly video - Totally awesome guitars and percussion. Come on Rush, spend a few dollars on a worthy video production !!

Even if you listen to it with poor quality speakers/headphones, you should be able to tell that it was poorly recorded.

On the other hand, the sound quality can easily pass as listenable, unlike Vapor Trails, which I can only listen to a couple songs in one sitting.

Oh, geddy and his goofy bass. I read in an interview that he slowly began to hate the sound of that Steinberger, that it completely lacked the high-end attack he needed, and that he only preferred it because he'd be less likely to knock over his keyboard stand on stage. I never guessed he'd used it in a video.

Thank goodness Rush aren't known for their videos - The best band in the world let down by a crumbly video - Totally awesome guitars and percussion. Come on Rush, spend a few dollars on a worthy video production !!

@SGL1963 I have yet to see a good RUSH video. They do put on a great show though. Saw them live & they never disapoint.
