  • Geniusssssssssssssss !!!!!!!!

  • 100 years to go kids :)

  • D@mn it's great

  • 8:00 goddamn can't they shut up?

  • WTF is with those assholes that scream during the best part of a song or even in the middle of what's supposed to be a seamless transition. And I'm not talking about this video. I mean every single fucking concert of any decent band -.-

  • You know what fooks me of is that you try to listen to this man playing he axe

    And all you here is all the Twats in the ordnance

  • 2112 is a masterpiece!!!

  • Great video of a great song. Thanx for sharing.

  • Rush is fuckin lame.

  • @NoJiggaboo You have no videos, you shouldn't be talking. You're fuckin lame. Good back up argument btw. Before you do respond, I dont give a flying shit what you say.

  • @BassWhiz92 Hahahaha... Rush is fuckin gayyyyyyy!! 

  • Listen to Alex's improvisation during Discovery and you have to wonder why they routinely left that part out even back in the 70s when they were playing most of it most of the time. The transition to Presentation is always one of my favourite parts, but I haven't got to hear it in live clips very much.

  • I THINK IT'S GREAT TO FINALLY SEE THIS EPIC MASTERPIECE PLAYED IN FULL!

  • Einfach nur ein "Über-Song"!!!

  • 0:03

    Oh Yeah!

  • They aren't just the gods of Rock N' Roll, they have a freakin hot haircut too.

  • @baretrek67 What are you talking about? RUSH trigger sequencing and sound loops constantly, mostly in in their eighties and nineties era songs.

  • fuck frampton comes alive. all the worlds a stages was the best live album of that era hands down !!

  • Comment removed

  • their hometown is actually Willowdale Ontario not Toronto people just say Toronto cuz its the closest big city.

  • I agree with buckeyefraley!

  • 25 years later and 50 pounds heavier Alex still frickin focks on Discovery!!!!

  • @CSXer Discovery? is there a docu or something out?

  • And the meek shall inherit the earth... I wish it wasn't true, but they do. Only the meek seem to get into the RRHOF (i.e. tallica, madonnna, etc.) the bands who stay true to themselves shall never inherit the earth....

  • No Words.Just Listen To The Magic Of This Canadian Supergroup. Magical !!!!!!

  • que tema de la gran puta!!!!! RUSH!!!definitivamente lo mejor del rock progresivo!!!!!

  • Our great computers, fill the hallowed halls...

  • i just wish the song was 21 minutes and 12 seconds long.

  • @ppp8753 I wish this song was 2 hours long

  • @SuperHairyDick yes that would work too.

  • @SuperHairyDick You have the best user name EVER.

  • Behold the Holy Triumvirate from the Hallowed Halls of Syrinx ... no other halls are required, necessary or even desired. To those who lament the RRHOF we say "Bless you, fuck you... good bye." Over and out.

  • Rush. :D

  • Rush is the greatest rock n roll band ever.

  • @devilhead66613 Rock n roll? Really? Elvis presley is rock n roll, Rush are progrock you idiot.

  • @giantegoist57 implying that metallica is rock n roll, similar to the style of elvis presley.

  • I wish they would still play the whole song live

  • the solo guitar before the discovery is too beautiful...

  • sep21 1979

  • im seeing them april 11th >:D woo!

  • The audience acts bush to me. Screaming while the guys are playing. Shut the fuck up!

  • @shire2005 Hey asshole, the audience participation in the live version is how the song has been done for close to 30 years now, so my advice to you is to GET THE FUCK OVER IT!!!!

  • rnr hall of fame is just a comercial.....makes sense rush was ignored.

  • You're not a real nerd unless you know all the chords to this "concerto">

  • rush doesn't need validation. they dont give a fuck. i'm going to go to every show i can and i will rock rush at every possible second of my likfe that i can. fuck the hall of fame

  • All true nerds please stand up.

  • Best Canadian band EVER!

  • @BobPhenomenal Stupid statement there is only 3

  • ahahaa the guy @ :07 "O YAAAAAAAA" lol

  • Run DMC and Madonna get in before Rush? And they wonder why we dont respect it

  • 1st time I saw Rush they were opening for Ted Nugent. Must have been 1976?

  • '75. that was the "Down The Tubes" tour for Caress of Steel.

  • This lot  - def ahead of their time!...

  • Is Alex high?

  • @666MASTEMA666 Only 80% of the time.

  • First time I ever saw Rush was on this Tour in Rochester, NY in 1997 at Darien Lake....was so high only thing I remember was Neil's drum solo...lol

  • at 2:55, When he kicks in the air... his shoes look alot like the vans i have... hmm..

  • 1:38-1:42 lolz SURPRISE BUTTSECKS

  • The thing I like about Rush is that it's amazing for a band who is fueled mainly by musicianship, to sound just as good live as they do on a recording. Most bands do not sound as good, Rush loses nothing, which shows just how impeccable their talent as far as playing their instrument goes.

  • Rush is just another word for God

  • 9 people never made it to the temple of syrinx

  • 8:02... is someone dying?

  • Fuck the R&R hall of fame, WE all know how great Rush is!

  • These guys are greater than the Hall Of Fame. They are in a league of their own... they need to open their own hall in Toronto and allow OUR bands into it.

  • @buckeyefraley Well said!

  • @buckeyefraley they need a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for each song they´ve made.

    Rush: you are so big.. so far away from others..

  • I lol'd when I saw the drum stick flip at 2:45

  • I want to know who the 8 asshats are that voted thumbs down ...

  • they are the kings of music in 70s

  • Are you a Priest of the Temples of Syrinx, a regular citizen of the Solar Federation, or a member of the Elder Race of Man?

  • @dtoliaferro elder race rules

  • Comment removed

  • @lunkheroofnuts Hell yeah dude!

  • @dtoliaferro BITCH IM FROM THE SIX STARS OF THE NORTHER CROSS, CYGNIX X-1

  • @connorbassplayer I know this sounds kinda sad on my end but, you've just made my year.

  • @dtoliaferro no dood thats not sad hahahahaha. im a rush geek myself. example: i misspelled Cygnus. see? lol

  • saw the boys in 1976 open for ted nugent in san diego.. 2500 seat venue.. dammit those were the days

  • ALEX rules - dutch-boy bowl cut and all......

  • Love Alex's leather pants...classic

  • I agree with crocodilewerewolf...After all these years of the Overture/Priests combo...to hear them actually continue on into Discovery...I wouldve wept openly and not given a rats ass who saw me.

  • Can you imagine how amazing it must have been to have stood there thinking that the song would be over after the temples of syrinx segment..... and then he begins the discovery segment! i would have flipped so many shits.

  • @crocodilewerewolf id have shite myself...FYI a little 2112 trivia question...anyone out there notice anything special about the "Grand Finale" lets see who the real rush fans are??? good luck

  • Where were you standing when you filmed this? In a boat on high seas??  SHAKY, SHAKEY, SHAKIE!!!

  • True. Rush really dosent care n neither do I. There better then that shit neway

  • The Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame is a fuckin' joke. RUSH isn't in there... BUT MADONNA IS?!?!?!?!? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!?!?!?

  • @ThatKrookedVulture yeh a joke

  • @ThatKrookedVulture madonna is (was) in the hall of fame HOLY FUCK THATS FUCKING GAY STUPID BITCH! RUSH 2112 ROCKS!

  • @yamahabmxer1 I just found out that fucking BLACK SABBATH isn't even in the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame either!!!! Rush for-fucking-ever.

  • @ThatKrookedVulture Sabbath is in the Hall of Fame,but RUSH definitely should be also...

  • @ozzyFTW1369 Apparently the lady that founded the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame is the one who makes all the decisions about who is and isn't in there. So really it's not the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, it's the Hall of Whatever That Bitch Likes. I gave up hope after they inducted ABBA. She personally dislikes Rush, so they'll never get in there.

  • @ThatKrookedVulture yeah, because Rush is fuckin lame gay shit!

  • @NoJiggaboo Dumbass troll. How else would you have wound up on this video? Change your faggoty ways or you will soon be brutaly sodomized by a large bouncer named Chuck.

  • @ThatKrookedVulture Fuck you buddy, Rush is fuckin lame. Listen to his gay high-pitched voice... and the lyrics are fuckin lame, chessy and retarded. I have no idea why everyone loves this shit. Fuckin cheeseball band. This is like the tenth chance I've given them... same result. Fuckin weak. No respect to anyone that thinks this is the greatest band ever... you must be seriously tarded.

  • @NoJiggaboo You are a poser and a pussy. If Rush is lame then who do you listen to that's so amazing? Dumb fuckin pussy.

  • @ThatKrookedVulture That guy jiggaboo queer probably like Nickleback or some shit

  • @bigtalker1986 Yeah he's a fucking troll.

  • @NoJiggaboo I often wonder what sort of person goes on YouTube to not only gratuitously insult a band but gratuitously insult those who like that band. Feel sorry for you, whoever you are, mate.

  • Ur an idiot. 1 of the best, if not the best drummers...EVER. Top 3 bassist and lyricist in Lee. Lifeson doesn't take a back seat to anybody in guitar work and writing...about Getty Lees singing abilities...can't be copied. Sure it is your typical 3 bar commercial trash like 4,269,731 so called bands. They one of a kind. Never been before, never will be again. Ur an idiot

  • @blackjack502 Yeah, I know talent-wise they are simply amazing. I disagree about the lyrics. They are just downright cheesy most of the time. "Did I have the dream or did the dream have me?"  C'mon... Their songs are cheesy and lame for the most part. The singer's voice is gay as hell.

  • @blackjack502 I love Rush because they are one of the few groups remaining who know the true meaning of what it means to be a musician. Its a travesty that they don't get more recognition, but I think that has to do with the fact that they break from the mold and haven't sold out for the money. If I were to make one correction though, Yes Top lyricist, but its not Geddy... Peart actually writes almost all of the lyrics. How bout that? Best drummer EVER and an awesome lyricist. Dude is my IDOL.

  • I just taught myself to play this whole song on bass. It's so awesome!!!!!!!

  • hall a fame pff, thats wut happens when ur canadian band ya do everything above expectations and ya still get stiffed, don't worry boys they're the stupid looking ones

  • my Fav song(s) of ALL TIME! my life! heck i go by Cozad2112 on Everything! facebook, myspace... everywhere im known as Cozad2112 !!!!

  • Love it.

  • Everyone really knows their the foundation, of the walls, of the hall its set upon! Am I right or what! I saw them in concert when I was 18 and when I was walking out of the arena I said to my best friend and our girlfriends " Dude, I'm not the same person I was when we were walking into here, I'm serious, I'm not!" he said to me, "Dude I'm not either, for real! And that's not the acid talking" I'm 47 now and I remember that moment like it was last night! I really became a better person.

  • Not as good as the live versions from the 70s and 80s

  • @MadcapLaugh3 ....So foolish

  • @osters1 it would appear that all opinions other than your own are foolish? Hope not. Geddy's lower register vocal delivery in this version is a let down, and I say this as a big RUSH fan (up to and including Grace Under Pressure mostly). Part of the many elements that made 2112 one of the GREATEST musical/lyrical compositions EVER was Geddy's signature banshee-wailing tour-de-force as he tore up the choruses--could anyone have done it better? So, I prefer the earlier versions, big deal.

  • @MadcapLaugh3 Personally I love both, I bought all the world's a stage, the performance of 2112 its mind blowing on it.

  • @MadcapLaugh3 Well Geddy himself has admitted that his voice is not what it used to be and was saying it long before now.

  • OH RES !

  • RUSH 2112

  • Simply the best. I have played for 25 years and I am still learning Geddy`s licks.

  • What kind of a twat thinks that the thing a guitar solo by a genius really needs is a very loud tuneless whistle ?

  • Proper musicians..not the crappy ones who killed Glastonbury this year..

  • Best Alex improve solo EVER!!!

  • Can't wait to see them at the time machine tour

  • hello time machine tour!!

  • mmmmm goosebumps from the start on

  • I've got to say this, I've been a Rush fan for 32 years so I think I have the right to say this. Alex can play a mean guitar, but I've seen hipper looking accountants. Sorry. It had to be said. Now. On with the show, volume to 11 and who cares what the children think. Rock on.

  • I was at this show with my wife. Awesome!

  • Comment removed

  • Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage AWESOME Movie !! Saw It Tonight, Showing ONE Nite Only....Great Background On The Band !!

    Peace And Happiness,

    [[[[ Wild Wizard ]]]]

  • @thewildwizard It was awesome. Guess there was an hour of extra footage if you bought the dvd.

  • If you could bottle this power you could supply electric to the fuckin world for ever... come oooooooonnnnnnnnne....

  • best song evr

  • Rush was awesome and one of the best in alternative rock and otherwise until they went to the pansy ass sound after Power Winds. I know, I was an avid Rush Fan since 2112 (I think I was 12 at the time) and saw them three times in Los Angeles at the Forum. But again they went soft want that way that as they say. Hal2012

  • every time i listen to this the beginning of the temples of syrinx gives me chills..."and the meek shall inherit the earth"...

  • RUSH deserved the R & R HALL OF FAME in the 70's!!!!!

  • @redhead5150 Hell yeah!

  • @redhead5150 YES! But the R & R HALL OF SHAME will NEVER deserve them!!

  • @Satonica So true. Don't get me wrong, I respect most of the bands in there now, but the R&R hall of 'fame' guys have skipped over one too many great bands, Rush, Judas Priest, among others. They just now decided that Alice Cooper was "worthy" to be in there...What the hell is that shit? Alice, Rush, and Judas Priest all deserved to be in the hall of 'fame' over twenty years ago, they were more or less pioneering what is going on today in rock and metal music!

  • Pioneering the best of it that is...

  • @Satonica They deserve a hall of fame to themselves.

  • @redhead5150 Yeah, but Rush is better than the Rock and Roll hall of fame.

  • @redhead5150 i know dude they still arent even in it but of course beastie boys are getting nominated and shit and i think ll cool j. they dont fuckin deserve it as much as rush, probably the greatest band of all time.

  • what is your problem, bearing44??? Why don't you get on a stage & give it your best shot? *No one* beats Rush when it comes to musicianship. That's not even JMO. That's fact. Period.

  • yeah, it would be the american rock and roll hall of shame if they were american. they are canadian after all

  • @bearing44 Want to name a better band? And if u dont like this, youre fucked up.

  • @bearing44 youre fucked.

  • @bearing44 If you don't like Rush, why you bother coming to the video and comment? you lost a great oportunity to be "quiet"

  • @bearing44 Well, when you've been playing live for 30 years and you sound 1/10 as these guys still sound, you migh have accomplished something. Saw them on this tour and it blew my fucking mind!.

  • @bearing44 so you spend your time watching vids of bands you don't like, must be nice having alot of free time during the day

  • @murphytheirish Yep. I'd wager whoever it is has no life.

  • wow his guitar is exactly the same as mine even to the coulour

  • I had the good fortune to see the concert that introduced this album. Then as now, it remains one of the best that "RUSH" has put out. In a stoned or straight stupor.

  • wow even in 97 Geddy's voice sound so fierce almost screechy in some parts.

  • Hopefully Alex has sold his leather trousers by now! Please! Jim Morrison You aint! Otherwise great clip!

  • i don't understand anti-semitism at all. the jewish people have brought the world so many wonderful gifts. like geddy lee and rush...

  • That Starman is one of the coolest icons I've ever seen. :)

  • rush has balls to this day!

  • its sad that he can't hit those high notes cant blame him though if you want to see 2112 in its full potential watch the 1976 live version, and im 17 my dad listens to this stuff and its better than some rock nowadays

  • It's prog, not rock.

  • its called prog rock but now there called hard rock there are different sub genres

  • Your Dad Has Great Taste in Music !! I am around your Dads age I am guessing, Unfortunetly there is not of High caliber Tallent Like Rush These days, Dream Theater is The ONLY one That you could even begin to measure to The Best Ever that is RUSH

    Sincerly Dino!

  • I first saw them play this on the 2112 tour at Maple Leaf Gardens!! Fantastic!!

  • This is not crap. It's just bad music to you.

  • @alukuhito LOL!!! You must be joking!!! Rush is one of the few rock bands in history that have stood the test of time!!!

  • *alukuhito* yeah, real crap there genius, 6th highest grossing tour of 2008 & more consecutive gold records than Elvis all with little to no radio/mtv support. RUSH critics are sooo pathetic, every one of them has had to eat their words as they prove time and time again they are bigger than the music industry itself. you should try something like skydiving without a parachute.

  • @ACELLOFAWARENESS and it's time Rush gets into the Hall of Fame!!!

  • @glsingle --AMEN TO THAT!! Someone should start a petition. I'd be the first to sign it. They've had it coming to them for years now. Until Rush is inducted it shall remain the American Rock and Roll Hall of Shame. Period.

  • @ACELLOFAWARENESS ...you tell em d...my new found rush brother..enjoy the remaining shows...

  • @alukuhito ahhahaah please enlighten us to the great music of 1997

  • @alukuhito ahahahah please enlighten us to the great music of 1997

  • I like 7:08 and on a lot.

  • I do like this part, but I actually like the part when it just calms down and he's like playing those easy chords to hard ones as the guy is like learning how to play guitar, that's really nice. But it all fits the mood and theme of the song the whole time beautifully.

  • and pm3181 is a douche

  • alex has a nice dumb and dumber haircut

  • Rush uses awsume sound affects for 2112 but, it sounds a little different from when they played it in 1975.

  • why does the camera never point at neil! come on! the greatest drummer in the world and you don't see him at all!!!!
