Rush Red Barchetta 1981

[c0rnp0p5]

Back when Geddy could still hit the high notes.

[Alvinegro1904]

Amazing vocals

[The836812]

Alex has got to be one of the best guitarists of all time, with the amount of emotion he puts into things

[augustmoon0004]

Amazing!

[MNalbs]

Timeless, and amazing! Not only is the band phenomenal, the audio engineers, and other crew members do quality work!

[zBassGuitarFanaticz]

1 person really had to dislike this video..........wow

[USSLexington1709]

I saw the video back in 81 on MTV. Remember MTV? The cable channel that used to play music videos?

[guitarboyx7]

Sorry guys I missed the like button Rush Kicks ASS!!!!!!!!

[redfishradical]

People can listen to any genre or musical form they want to. I know from jazz to blues to new wave to metal to southern rock I just love music! But Rush has an elevated place for me in music, the highest of all art-forms. Yep, people can listen to whoever they want, but for me? "I will choose Free Will"! Beautiful song, rock on forever boys...

[redfishradical]

The thing about Rush is that they have made endlessly interesting music to listen, re-listen & re-re listen to for decades now. It holds up! Intelligent, compelling lyrics and instrumentally there is ALWAYS something going on to keep you riveted to the respective songs. They take their musicianship to a higher level on every song of every album. To me, this is the very apex of musical art & what all players should aspire to. Started listening in 7th grade (2112) & decades later STILL love them!

2011 thirty years ago how the words would flow 

[HammernHeads]

Suck it TRIUMPH.

[thetreesify]

i love rush, i love the video, i love the song, but i could live without the crappy animation

[superslayerguy]

@thetreesify oooh the 80s

[verbo108]

@thetreesify well that was state of the art back there in 81, so tech is outdated, but how about the music? I don't know about you but every time I hear this song it just sounds better, and better.

[USSLexington1709]

@thetreesify I believe it was part of the visuals at the concert. High-tech for the time.

[1251wire]

[zBassGuitarFanaticz]

I love this song! my fav. RUSH tune

[zBassGuitarFanaticz]

My all-time favorite RUSH song. Im learning how to play Moving Pictures in its entirety by teaching myself. So far got the first three tracks down almost

[WrathchildATL]

This has always been my favorite Rush tune...rarely has a song painted such a vivid picture to me! This is just FANTASTIC!

[zmznzbzvzmznzb]

listen and the story will take farther than the car ever could.

[woodenbeard]

i wish Alex still played with his Fenders. all I see him play is gibsons and the sound is just not the same as back then. i heard for there next album they want to get back to some of these old roots....can't wait top hear it and see it live!

[007thefuture]

Yeah but did you personally ever see when they inverted ..Neil while playing...now that is Talent..and still is..thanks for the Vid..

[SLP1811]

Bring the Ric back out Geddy....

[BDizDaBest]

The riff at 1:20 is pure Rush, no one else writes like that...

[ziggy72170]

(( WARNING )),, This Tune will get stuck in your Head !!

[SavethePlace]

BTW, anybody else crank the h**l out of this while driving the 15 from LA to Vegas?

[stalrunner]

Well, I'm in the Deep South, but yeah! This exact recording too.

[shaun3701]

YES!!

[SavethePlace]

Agreed. Although 'Bravado' saved my life, this is my favorite - a true masterpiece.

[narutozrasengan]

Saved your life? How so? :O

[MrBlackhaw]

I like alex lifeson but this song demonstrates why I love Rush so much. the bass and drums make this song. They are amazing. The intro and exit is great. And the drums push it.  This is my favorite Rush song.

[StratGT]

These guys make everything look so easy.

[skynradical]

temazo weon

[skorli]

My favorite Rush song ever. CLASSIC.

[tomktm]

Rush was one of the tightest, most musically sound rock bands ever. Crap, their live performances were as tight as most bands these days hope to be in studio. This song captures that very well.

[ezdno]

I was just listening to this song this morning, and remembered seeing them on this tour in Reno, NV. This is one of those great Rush songs that make you use your imagination to visualize the action of the song. I thought to myself man I wish I could see that background animation they had during the tour, and damn here it is. Thanks for posting!

[Woschtfett1968]

They're truly unique!

[tostig360]

awesome!!!!!

[fendergibs]

Great performance, poor sound, the engineer is responsible D-. 2 bad because it caputred Rush at their peak

[Chevelle512]

being a car guy i always loved this song...and this Band....saw them on this tour. such a great visionary song about the government taking away your rights to the internal combustion engine. it's 28 years later and the electric cars are coming and the great cars from the 60s are soon to be gone.

[shelibeli40]

Haha, my first car was a 67 Chevelle... was a peice of crap but it was all MINE :)

[nesjuggalo]

Yeah, it sucks. All the newer models have dull designs too. Excesive plastic and none of the cars look badass now.

[kdude1234567]

Still very impressive song but I always wondered if they could pull the song off without the keys.

[Felicityon]

I have no words to describe it. Very good!

[emobangs03]

yesyes!!

this is the version from the exit stage left tape

XD

[chriswp289p]

I set 3rd row on the test for echo tour right in front of neil peart. I got to meet alex's mother and wife that night!

[ajm115]

man, you gotta love that early 80's animation... but this is seriously one of my favorite songs, and videos. despite the fact that alex lifeson has the WORST guitar face ever. but this is great. thanks for posting.

[rockypc24]

this is so cool its about a car EPIC

[oh8pony]

@rockypc24 Yes it is, a Ferrari of the 50's vintage. Google it and you'll see.

[xfatzombieassesx]

@rockypc24 So is Panama from Van Halen..

[inchudi]

you seriously can't dislike this. it's just so awesome. coolest singer ever best drummer and an awesome guitarist and bass player =)

[m0skit0zindahouse]

@inchudi Lifeson doesn't play bass.

[wannyyydilliamsss]

Effing fantastic!

What a band, almost identical to the studio version!

Love them (Y)

[3eyedho]

I saw them in 81 They sounded so good here! They played with FM. At there finest, here!

[shelibeli40]

I've been to hundreds of concerts in my 40 yrs. ...Rush was one of the BEST! AMAAAZING!!!! So much great music comes from Canada....

[flashbang217]

So true.  I love Avril, Shania, and Celine. Canadians own.

[KirbysABAMF]

I just love this song!

NEIL! THE DRUM SOLO OF LIFE!!

[beyoncelover202]

my favorite song from Rush.

So pure, unique and yet real.

Freedom, sweet, sweet freedom.

[noazoid]

This is one beautiful song which portrays itself like a video inside my head... A foray into an Orwellian future where cars are banned and one man commits a weekly crime by taking joy rides in the country, or is it just a dream? Nice images

[dudedominato]

Awesome song! Rush rules!!

thanks for posting it

[tnpan]

"It's called the Rrrred BaRrrrchetta."

Sounds so similar to the studio. That's how hard these guys rock.

[wannyyydilliamsss]

Spot on!

Awesome :)

[sevensice]

Best Rush song
