Man, I forgot just how great that album is! I bought it on vinyl when I was 15 after becoming a diehard Rush fan since the Fly By Night & 2112 albums secured their rightful place in my growing appetite for meticulous musicianship progressive rock. May they continue for at least another decade of bringing us faithful our delights of enjoying their talents!
OMFG!!! I'm sitting in the library trying to study for yet another stupid final, and I needed to re-vitalize my mind so I could keep working. The result is pumping this song with headphones on and jamming so hard that everyone around me is looking at me because I'm smiling like an idiot.
This song just pumps you up sooooo much! Fuck it, I'm dropping out!
i <3 rush!!!!!! they have some of the most complicated songs to play!!! i play the guitar and i promise u i could never play this!!!! i love this song so much that i learnde the lyrics to this song in @ days!!!!!!
Rush doesnt need our support. They are actually Gods who can maintain and create all the money in the universe. They simply make such beautiful, wonderous, kick ass music that, we make sure they save all that extra time to rock out instead, so we willingly give them money, which has no value in the face of such grace and divinity.
So to the desscription, no. We do not support the greatest band on earth, they support us, and we provide them with our worldy goods as tribute.
The best band in the whole world ever !!!....here in Lima, Perú, we are waiting so long for them. I´ll wait for them until I die. RUSH Is like listening a SYMPHONIC. So powerfull and also relaxed that makes music so fantastic !!! RUSH COME TO PERÚ.
Ironically, Rush is probably one of the ONLY bands that doesn't rush the tempo of the songs during live performances. I've seen a lot of bands live, and these guys are one of the FEW who didn't play the songs faster.
@SkullydogXXX well, if you search "Rush 4-8-1983" here on youtube, you will see that they rushed some songs like The Camera Eye and Digital man... but i don't know any other concert they did it
Permanent Waves was the first album I bought on C.D. I still love it so much that I'd quite happily listen to it sitting in my own shit rather than press pause & go to the toilet.
@TheRobbyDeLuca I was heavily influenced by Lifeson when I was your age. He and Ler Lalonde were what made me learn guitar. That was 16 years ago and I'm still in awe of him.
Classic trio lineup. All virtuosos on their instruments. Ahead of their time, as well. I'd say, one of the best rock n roll bands of all time. Then again, as someone who noodles around on the bass I am simply blown away by Geddy Lee who is in a different universe from me talent wise.
Back in the late 70's and early 80's when I all I mostly listened to was Disco and didn't care all that for much for rock bands; I listened to these guys play and was totally blown away by the amazing talent, they were the first rock albums and rock concerts I ever purchased tickets for. Sometimes I don't even consider these guys to be rock---- its as if they were in whole another unclassified category of music. They are just that freakin good--they stand completely in a league of their own.
Seen these guys around this time at Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens can't recall who opened up for them, me and my cuz smoked a big bag of Pot, HA! Thats when grass was really cheap, HA!
I believe that there is considerably more footage from this show in Montreal and it should be released at some point. The official release has 60 minutes, counting other footage, so there has to be another hours worth of material out there. And what they should do is dump the recent remix and have Terry Brown do the mix. The problem with the remix is that much of the dynamics in the music was lost. The VHS version of this video has better audio, that's for sure.
this brings back great memories....i saw rush on this tour and freewill was the second song in the set, after 2112 overture. I was in the front row, next to the bass bins. the bass solo nearly took my head off!! agreed....rush are awesome musicians...and timeless
Watching this live last year I was dumbfounded. I couldn't even play air-bass, all I could do was stand there with my mouth hanging open like the lowly untalented fool I am, watching three rock gods tear up the soundwaves with three instruments, my brain oozing out my ears, unable to process the greatness before me, while little angels circled around overhead with their harps, sent my God to see how real musicians get it done.
@RCAvhstape cut yourself some slack. you need to follow Rush's own advice: those who wish to be, must move on from the alienation....get on with the fascination, the real relation, the underlying theme. any one can achieve genius. go for it friend!!
@RCAvhstape How stupid. You were confused by an overdose of LSD: it's just Rush, they're humans. Next time, watch sober and you'll remember what life (on Earth) is like. Otherwise, you'll never wake up.
Rush is one of all time greats , for a 3 peace band the sound is mind blowing and they ooze talent, it a shame that new bands dont take note of a music talent of 3 very musical minding men, new music has no hart and it a group of engines siting in a control room mixing crap then PR men selling it to the sheep like masses , by selling a image not the music,
ive been listening to rush for 5 years now (im seventeen). i am still absoultely blown away at this bands complexity and music skill. i dont understand how this is physically possible for this band to create music this so captivating and creative.
i wish these three people would live forever and ever and ever so they can keep creating the most amazing music anyones heard
I still can't believe people say that Alex Lifeson sucks....I mean, this solo is absolutely ridiculous and it's not even his best one (I think La Villa Strangiato is his best work). Whoever thinks Alex sucks probably doesn't know anything about music or guitar and was probably born with an extremely small weiner
@RUSHSUCKS1000 Funny...You're funny. Let me fix it... "leern how 2 spel deny idiut!" becomes, 'Learn how to spell deny, idiot.' And I can't believe that you wasted enough time making an account only to bash Rush? Tool.
@RUSHSUCKS1000 If you hate Rush then why are you watching the video? Stop trying to get attention for yourself and go watch the terrible music you listen to.
3:00 to 4:02 is the greatest minute of music I've ever heard...Geddy layin down the bass...Neil in the back playing like a madman...and Alex playin like hes got 10 fingers on each hand....RUSH RULES!!!!!
i don't care what anyone has said about Neil over the years, stating that he's overrated, that he's nothing special, and there are countless of other drummers who are technically better than he is.. to you i say this... you are ignorant, moronic, envious, disgruntled clowns who couldn't tell a good drummer from a poor one if they both came up and bit you on your scrawny ass..Neil is a God in drumming terms, and one of the most influential rock drummer/song writers of all time..case closed !
@blica1 -- Agreed, plus I challenge anyone to name a better lyricist/poet. I'll let him defend himself - "Ingorance, prejudice, and fear walk hand in hand"
I wonder if Geddy or alex have ever melted their guitar strings from the immense friction that builds up when they are striking a million chords a minute
I first heard RUSH as a teenager in 81 or 82 with the release of "EXIT STAGE LEFT" and have been a huge fan ever since. NO ONE sounds like RUSH. Hall of Fame can kiss it. They are the best. I took my 10 yr old son to see them in Nashville TN on April 3 2011 and they still have no equal.
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.
I seen Rush twice when I was younger, and I'm trying to win tickets now to go see them in Montreal!! They are so fricken awesome and anyone who thinks their not, needs there heads examined!!
I live and die with bands like Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, etc., but Rush is just so good it is ridiculous. How is it possible to be that supremely talented--each of them--at what they do (and in Lee's case, all that he does)?
The solo section is greatest display of talent in all rock music history. It's the Sistine Chapel of instrument playing.
Breathtaking, humbling, and mind-numbing all in one...
@kandyno That's so very true. I seen Rush the other night and was just amazed at their precision. For the first time in my recent memory, I left a show feeling like I got my money's worth. All I can say is if anyone has the opportunity to catch a show on the Time Machine tour please do yourself a favor and catch it.

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.

Great song, best live version (besides Rio lol) of it. Love Rush

I've always loved how Geddy has a voice like he's just swallowed about a billion heluim balloons but he plays a bass guitar.

I live and die with bands like Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, etc., but Rush is just so good it is ridiculous. How is it possible to be that supremely talented--each of them--at what they do (and in Lee's case, all that he does)?
The solo section is greatest display of talent in all rock music history. It's the Sistine Chapel of instrument playing.
Breathtaking, humbling, and mind-numbing all in one...

@kandyno That's so very true. I seen Rush the other night and was just amazed at their precision. For the first time in my recent memory, I left a show feeling like I got my money's worth. All I can say is if anyone has the opportunity to catch a show on the Time Machine tour please do yourself a favor and catch it.

Such ones are not even worth commenting on. They are purely wind-up merchants. It's just not worth a reaction.
