RUSH "Far Cry" - Boston - Time Machine Tour 2010 - HD High Quality

[obscuremedia]

This song was awesome. Shows what kind of guys they are. When one has problems, the other two come in and help out. I did notice that Alex didn't give up on Ged in terms of the backing vocals. Shows the dedication they have to each other and to the band. Kudos to them. Thanks so much for the perfect upload. Just sublime. More please.

[sabianrox1]

lol its always far cry, like the exact same thing happened i remember on the snakes and arrows tour in helsinki

[voodoo847]

a Rush trainwreck is still some other bands best performance. They put on a hell of a show night after night after night... even if they do have technical difficulties they somehow make it seem like part of the show.... Amazing!

[Mr12rush]

How come when alex has guitar problems its always on far cry

[snapascrew]

btw that wasn't a wireless pack that went, the whole rack got fried.

[MickAv8r]

@snapascrew yeah I never updated the description but I've figure it wasn't just a wireless pack but I've not seen any technical discussion of what really happened. Have a source snap? I know Ged's tech Russ posts occasionally on the tb forum but I hadn't thought to ask

[RushFan413]

How do you play the part at 1:08 on guitar?

[tdcrane101]

I love how Alex fakes singing the falsetto...

[RushFan413]

What made his guitar go out?

[raverxx12123]

fucking awsome quality!!!

[KathrynPurinton]

Love Alex's "wooo, oooo" background singing. :)

[ozonatedman]

Geddy & Neil.....Alex's guitar --DOH!

[spiritofradio]

Them true Rush fans at the front ..look more like manneqins...make some moves tossers...Boston does not appreciate class period...

[sgtpepper1138]

@spiritofradio Honestly I don't get that, must you dance around, flail your arms in the air, SCREAM through the whole song to not be a tosser? It gets a bit annoying when you're trying to WATCH a performance that you paid good money for and some dumbass in front of you is flailing his arms in the air, and the guy behind you is screaming in your ears during Alex's acoustic 12 string solo. Applause and screaming belong at the END of the song, not during the song.

[SPMonkeywarrior9]

Looking forward to seeing all you RUSH friends at the O2 tomorrow night, hope you all have a fantastic time. Can't wait!!!

[mudkicker27]

What camera ru using for this vid

[kieran100574]

AND, is it any coincidence this happened right after the huge "BOOM" pyrotechnic?? One of the other comments mentioned this happened before at the same bit of this song! Don't sit the wireless receiver next to the bomb, Rush techies!! lol

[kieran100574]

Woah, and I always think Neil and Geddy are the backbone of the band, but how empty did it sound without Alex!! That they managed to get through this situation is a credit to them, they're AWESOME!

[steelrusher]

Nice recovery!!!

[irena7777777]

King Crimson

[snapascrew]

hahahahah

[Crust218]

I just love watching them laugh together on stage.

[ulittlecow]

i was at the nashville concert last night

[DrumsAndGadgets]

The very same thing happened to them in S&A tour 2007 in Finland. And in the same place in the same song!

[anthonyburdge]

cool music man top drawer , cant wait to hear other songs from these guys

[tmn1231]

at least you can still hear the F# chord (barely)

[doonhamer62]

Cant wait to these guys hit uk shores later this year

[execatty]

i was there it ws classic lerxst...

[racerwes7]

Why does this always happen during far cry!

[execatty]

@racerwes7 how can a song with the line.."You can almost see the circuits blowing"...not have electrical problems!!!

[racerwes7]

@execatty

thats true!! haha. neil peart with his oddly forshadowing lyrics

[fasionroadkill]

Is that a Steve Vai shirt? and why does Alex keep playing if its not even making sound? haha

[RushFan413]

@fasionroadkill Probably he figures that it could come back on at any time...

[MickAv8r]

See video description for link to interview with Alex and quote about technical issues on the tour.

[msclvr48]

Excellent video! Thanks for posting it!

[Th3Juic3]

LOL same thing happend in Finland 2007!

[xsamitt]

rush is amazing.. they leave me spechless.. rush r true professionals

[DrummerGirl2112]

Poor Al!!! God I would be mad. At least they had the encore to fix it though. And of course they are such easy going professionals they kept it fun for everyone

[ieetemos4breakfast]

at least this didnt happen during camera eye, marathon, time stand still or any of the token songs for this tour.

[B9666]

True Professionals all he way. Alex had every right to be pissed, but Ged and Neil powered through like champs. This is what musicianship is all about. Now take a band like Kings of Leon who walked off stage after the 3rd song because a few birds crapped on them in an open air show. Musicians like Rush do not exist anymore, sorry kids. Enjoy every note and beat while you still can. Long live RUSH!!

[n2112bytor2112p]

ooobbbbbbbviously the tech is getting fired after this tour lmao

[DarkMage965]

Lifeson had to of been so fuckin pissed. He loves fuckin shreddin and puttin on a great show for payin customers and the fuckin tech had to fuck up

[okwhip]

Hey Mike, You are a dumb ass and need to STFU,

[MickAv8r]

@okwhip Wow No kidding! Sorry folks I didn't notice the idiocy occurring. Folks if you want to piss into the wind go do it somewhere other than my videos.

[MrOxal]

Love you guys. Thanks so much for the great music over the years. I think I am going bald still........... those that know.... know.

[fabioadias]

Damn... what a crappy way to end a concert =( Neil messed it up too.

[n2112bytor2112p]

@fabioadias the concerts where they mess up are the most memorable, i would have killed to have been at this concert cuz alex had his still no guitar rant, if u see my vid he didnt do a rant he just got his guitar fixed

[TOSportsFan1990]

@fabioadias They played La Villa Strangiato and Working Man after this

[fabioadias]

Holy crap... they look so bored. They didn't look like that when they played Rio de Janeiro a few days ago. Great video though, thanks for sharing!

[lastdaysguitar]

Alex's playing is just too powerful... the circuits in Boston just could not handle it.

[werewolfgirl406]

i went to that concert, only i was in okc :)

[freewill51]

They should have that down by now. Alex's shit always fucks up on this song. Fire some people for God's sake!

[cyg2112]

Hey Alex. You know, Bogners are pretty nice. Just loose the Hughes & Kettners.

[LiquidPandles]

I can't believe I didn't even notice when I was there. I was just so excited to see them play live but yeah, shit happens. It's awesome how they just keep playing through like nothing happened and Alex plays the song even though you can't hear it. God I love Rush.

[hostile177]

Technology...a blessing and a curse.

[BassManGilbert]

Amazing how much sound come out of Neil and Geddy alone. I mean, it's almost backwards, usually when the bass goes out, the "ump" goes out. Here, The song is still mostly there from Geddy alone, all that was once Alex's gear malfunctioned was the power from his chords. Hope that makes sense...

[nonewmccarthyism]

Great show!!! Historic. And of course, given the fact that Boston is the most UPTIGHT city in the universe.. JUST FYI: THERE WERE NO PYROTECHNICS.... I had this epiphany the other day ... and I felt so taken :) (Not really, but I will say the record that the show I saw 3 months ago at Mohegan was a no-holds-barred fireworks display..U*N*R*E*A*L).....

[Rushguitarist1]

I GOT A FREAKING SIGNED PICK FROM ALEX LIFESON! AT THIS SHOW!

[rush4ever1]

this was a great show. what camera is this?

[AldenNH]

i was there and i saw that happen. i felt so bad for him.

[valemaiden]

I'll be seeing them in a week, im fuckin stoked!!!! AHHH

[RIFFRAFFB]

All Male Crowd!

[sangokikyo]

@RIFFRAFFB nope, i was there. real women like rush, we're just hard to find is all.

[MickAv8r]

@sangokikyo Not that hard to find any more really. At least not at concerts. Filming this I had females to my immediate left and right and I recall a group of about 4 ladies two rows in front. This tour I also saw lots of Dad's bringing their daughters to the shows and they were full on fans singing loud and proud.

Rush chicks rock! \m/

[justaskinbag]

They're jinxing this song either by singing that "feel the circuits blowing" phrase or because they are playing it in Sausage Time instead of Real Time.

[Rush4Life70494]

i saw this last night... no rants though =P

[rush4ever1]

I was THERE!!!! i was at mohegan sun as well this year. THIS SHOW WAS SOOO WORTH $150! Alex's side first section 3rd row set 1. WHat i did love was how pissed alex was at the crew. and the song about no guitar!

Rush= FREAKING AMAZING, i dont know any band better than these guys. i love them all so much, Amazing music, Amazing lyrics. Freaking amazing Drums and Bass lines. and Freaking amazing guitar riffs, cords, etc.. Rush Forever!

[mikapromotesobesity]

@rush4ever1 Yes are better.

[rush4ever1]

@mikapromotesobesity the band YES?? they are good, and i like them, but deff not better

[bachyutt]

@rush4ever1 Absolutely right, Rush is way better than Yes.

[rush4ever1]

@bachyutt yup

[execatty]

@rush4ever1 jones beach, pnc and boston as for me...what a summer of rush

[rush4ever1]

@execatty nice dude! i went 2 time this year and 2 times in 08. I LOVE IT, and IM ONLY 16

[execatty]

@rush4ever1 i wish i was 16...jeez...this tour has been unbelievable..wish i could go to more..good luk kid

[rush4ever1]

@execatty Thanks. im hoping to go one more time this tour, than deff again next year. i think next year they are going to present their album. but i think that could be their last :(

[execatty]

@rush4ever1 agree

[b1chvj39]

Despite disaster and ruin!!! The show went on no matter what!!! At least Alex was calm!!!! Gotta give those guys credit!!! They acted wisely!!!

[zigzaghookie]

Mann I felt so bad for him at that moment.

[RIFFRAFFB]

As a Rush fan . Alex seems to have more sound and tech problems lately .I feel for him. As a musician this is the most horrifying experience when equiptment fails.It must have ruined his whole night.and the fan'sGlad I didn't spend $100 ,plus for a ticket.

[execatty]

@RIFFRAFFB your silly..was a freakin great show...one minor mishap wont ruin it

[LeagueOfIcepapyrus]

I was there also! Such a great show!

[Jrallig1]

That's call professionalism folks! Even without Alex the other two don't stop playing until the last note.

[wmjoca]

What kind of camera is that?

[honeybunches000]

too bad the guitar tech sux. the song they sang about how alex's guitar should work was funny though

[chicodawg03]

I'm pretty sure it's just the wireless connection sync... Nothing to do with guitars or amps...more tech means more troubleshooting headaches! They handled that very nicely! Go Lifeson

[thebatman101069]

@chicodawg03 It must have had something to do with the pyro going off... you notice the guitars are gone after the big bang. He plugged him in wired, and that still didn't work, so something seriously got blown out when the pots went off.

[vaportrails44]

Guitar tech has fucked up at least a dozen times this tour...a total mess. Both for H&K, Gibson, his tech...he rarely if ever had these issues when he was using his Fender's in the 80s going into Marshall's or GK . This kinda shit doesn't need to be happening to Lifeson every other night.

[thebatman101069]

@vaportrails44 I don't think this was the tech's fault, I think something got blown out on accident when the explosion went off... You notice the guitars are gone after the big bang... he blew a circuit just like the song says LOL

[ieetemos4breakfast]

jeez what an unlucky song...this happened on one of the dates of the snakes and arrows tour as well on far cry...maybe they should put it on the shelf and file it with the rest of the "No Play Songs"

[kenster2112]

Alex misses Bucky!!

[stevedrums]

Nice to be a show with historical value!!!LOL!

[MrTommYYZ]

Whoops....

[pm3181]

poor Alex- he was probanbly so pissed
