  • THE ULTIMATE DRIVING SONG!! :D

  • Great spazz face at 4:49! He's my hero!

  • I love this song and I love the tone of his bass.

  • Would be awsome if Mr. Lee would bring the old Rickenbacker bass out again

  • the 8 quacks who disliked this rode the small bus to school

  • it,s a damn shame rush did not get into the rockand rool hall of fame.

  • @jaydoggon they haven't gotten in yet! There's always a chance!

  • Comment removed

  • @jaydoggon oO They're not in? I'm dumbfounded atm....

  • Yup, I saw 'em do this live on that tour. :)

  • @antigeekess me too! Great show, great memory.  :)

  • Triplets on the bell of the ride FTW at 6:13!

  • Red Barchetta is based on the '48 Ferrari 166

  • seriously youtube? thats the top comment? internets i am disappoint.

  • my favorite when i was 14. probably cause i snuck out the family van! ive been sacrificing myself to christian rock sites like stryper and tellin them the true trinity are alive and well, RUSH!

  • My favorite Rush song.... FUCK YEAH!!!!

  • 0:00

    

  • just awesome

  • Looking back now this is the pinnacle of Rush as a band. Signals was a great record and in many ways I like it more then MP, but man were they on here!! Alex's gear is so scaled back compared to what he is using now, and it just sits in the mix with that thick 70's analog warmth. It's nice to remember how effortless it once was for Geddy as well.

  • Just think! They're not in the RHOF!!

  • @vols9599 They'll get in soon. Fuck the RRHOF regardless, who are they to say who's the most influential bands. 

  • @JackOrion0670 I dont want Rush in there. Rush is too good for them. This music isnt for everybody. If they dont want them all the better then, the only people who will find them are people who actually have good taste in music.

    Rush is a diamond in the rough. The most brilliant diamond one can find.

  • @sonicismybrawler Rush and Van Halen picked up where Led Zeppelin left off. Both bands were in in the 80's!

  • All night...I could listen to them all night...wait, I HAVE!!!

  • Who doesn't love to play this song driving down the countryside? Sometimes the very best place to be is alone in your car playing music and driving those roads all by yourself.

  • @acadia2431 Exactly...

  • I heard there's a New RUSH Album coming out....And a Fukn Kickass Concert to follow....

  • @23HappyApples Shit really? Where'd you hear that!?

    

  • @MrRocknRollJoe Yeah the new album is gonna be here in 2011 and it's gonna be called Clockwork Angels. They've already released to songs from the album. Look up "Rush Caravan" and "Rush BU2B."

  • @ThatKrookedVulture Oh I already know about that album, I thought you meant a new one after that lol

  • @MrRocknRollJoe Oh, cool. \m/(>.<)\m/

  • @23HappyApples If Thats Truth I will fuckin Scream of happiness as a 5 years old child.

  • I was in 5th grade with Exit Stage Left came out. I've been a fan of Rush since I heard this song. It still gives me goosebumps after all this time. WOW.

  • Ganna have to stop watching this as i dont want to get sick of it ! But it`s just so fucking awesome ! Peace Ye`all !!

  • To think that they came from the same country as Bieber...

  • Great song, but if I had a 1952 Ferrari, I probably wouldn't let my fuckin nephew drive it.

  • @mrboffo1 Sure, but what if Neil Peart were your nephew?

  • @mrboffo1 What if your nephew was say, Jeff Gordan?

  • One of the finest science fiction songs around.Legendary.

  • Comment removed

  • @crazypenny94 That's what a car can represent viewed from diferent point of views, and the song is about this car and the freedom that the narrator experinences as he gets it and drives it.

  • @CrazyNights14 not to mention the 'futuristic' time setting where automobiles are illegal and the 'man' is flying an 'alloy air car' to chase him down in his classic Ferrari. It is a far out tune.

  • God i love this band. i am young so i didnt get to see them back when they put out those classic albums but i have seen them recently and let me tell you, they have lost none of the magic!

  • Pure awesomeness.  Rush is AMAZING!

  • why would anybody press the dislike button if you like rush! you cannot press the dislike button if you like rush! if you don't, well, you can bite my shiny metal ass!

  • on the day i left home for good, this came on the radio just as we came into sight of the skyline downtown...i can never hear it with out having that feeling of joy that i had at that moment

  • I have a better title for this record: EXIT tubular bells, glockenspiel, wind chimes, temple blocks, timbales, bell tree, and triangles / ENTER Simmons electronic drum kit and one measly 13" timbale.

  • im a huge rush fan seen them in wembly can anyone tell me why they never play in wales anyone at all respects a pissed off rush fan.

  • @arsenal2873

    tell me about it! They haven't played in the Peg since 1981 because a couple of people got drunk and threw beer bottles at them. I AM SO MAD!

  • @sensrok30 where the hell is peg?

  • @arsenal2873

    you know, Winnipeg? Duh!

  • As usual, another awesome performance from the hardest workng rock band out there. I saw them in '84 and still rank as my #1 concert experience! That's saying something- I've been to over a hundred concerts! Better with age!

  • I have dvds and albums of many others too .. but here on youtube I am a freewatcher , not a freeloader and that's why I am annoyed sometimes when they block vids for "royalties reasons".. the record companies make enough money with artists already, and it's them who are afraid to lose cash. Artists often give songs for free on the web. Youtube is supposed to be here to share music and opinions.. and it should stay that way. :)

  • just saw them in Vancouver last week, thirty yrs after this video was done, hmmmm i think they have gotten better if they ever could, lifesons guitaring was incredible, peart goes without saying, and lee amazing, and yes i did see them in the 80s as well

  • NEIL PEART HAD A PHD IN MUSIC THEORY/COMPOSITION&WROTE MOST OF MUSIC/LYRICS..PURE GENIUS!!! @ ALVIN691 U GOT THAT RIGHT..I GREW UP SEEING/LISTENING/PLAYING EVERY SONG THIS TRIO CREATED.TILL THE POST93 STUFF,WHEN I GOT A JOB&A LIFE AS A STOCKBROKER- I STILL CRANK UP THE STRAT WHENEVER I WANNA BLOW OFF SUM STEAM.OUT ON MY BALCONY..2MY DELIGHT when im done all my neighbors are out on their balconies clapping...haha. I LOVE RUSH&ALL THEIR STUFF-BLINDFOLD ME& ILL PLAY EVERY SONG IN THEIR ANTHOLOGY

  • I photographed Rush in 74 and 77. To see the shots go to ianmarkmusicphotos (.com)

  • seven Britney's fans think that this is too complicated...

  • SAW THESE GUYS TONIGHT IN VANCOUVER. FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!! ROCK ON RUSH!

  • @sofndfkj Best show ive ever seen

  • @sofndfkj it was a great show

    

  • 2:37 - Oh man, I forgot how awesome CG was back in the early 80's.

  • THE best live band

  • Does anyone get the overtones of the story behind the song? The motor law? The barbed wires? An old car, hidden in a barn? He commits his weekly crime?

  • @Alvin691 The future includes a "motor law", making cars like the Red Barchetta illegal. The uncle has kept one hidden for fifty-odd years and lets the nephew (i guess) drive it. The new alloy cars are too big and slow to catch it and he is able to drive it safely back to the barn :)

  • Who are the 7 morons???

  • @JimmyLeeVanDePutte .....probably Al Gore supporters who do not like big, powerful

    gas guzzling cars!!

  • Who are the morons???

  • Did I mention that i can never get enough, this is too good

  • i can never get enough

  • One of the coolest songs in Rock & Roll.

  • This was Rush at their peak IMO - Never sounded better :)

  • A sublime concert; thanks for seeing me home. You can come in if you want to.

  • real music man

  • I'm ready to take a drive through the country this Sunday morning. I can see the sunlight on chrome and smell the oil and heat as the leaves flash above the asphalt at the S curve. Fire up ther willing engine and tires spitting gravel. No gleaming alloy air cars in my dream. I still go screaming through the valley.

  • Austin TX. Tomarrow ........I'm der!!!!!!!!

    

  • Going to see them Sunday for the first time :) It's going to be fucking awesome.

  • @dozicusmaximus Lucky cunt i've seen then on the 4.5 ;) they were awesome! :D

  • @thefelixjansson :D Guess what? They were fucking awesome haha.

  • @dozicusmaximus Yep they are so awsome and they allways will :D

  • i cant get over how exact to the studio geddy sounds on this particular song on this particular tour

  • @funzobunzo25 What do you expect? He's Geddy!

  • but Krieger san you promised! we'll talk about it in the van!

  • This is a great song, Rush is great, one of the most skilled bands ever.

    This is a great song to drive through the countryside and listen to.

  • Best live performance I think I've ever seen. Awesome band, great guys.

  • I've watched the full concert on VHS (yeah, I still keep my old vhsplayer, haha) hundreds of times. Their live performance is absolutely perfect in this concert

  • love this .... 80's rock. one of the better bands as there weren't many really talented rock bands then. look at that drumset ... neil the way he punches that drum with speed. those solos are insane

  • this band really shows how humans are really capable of making the most amazing music and only with three guys

  • Brilliant! 

  • as musicians their just too good for this World !

  • I wish I'd had that kind of uncle. 

  • man that outro alone should get them into the R&R hall of fame...that's one of the best things I've ever heard! I wish the album cut would end like that too, instead of just fading out

  • Dublin tonight....man oh man!

  • What a great track...what a great band.

  • Christ that was fuckin' amazing. Goose bumps on my arms watchin' that. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas morning for tomorrow's gig at the O2 in Dublin...

  • when you talk all time greats,when you talk Beatles,Stones,Zeppelin,elvis etc...please dont forget RUSH..........wow are they amazing or what,have heard and seen this a million times and it still feels brand new to me

  • They never played better!

  • If I had a nose like Geddy, I would scare the people at the beach by using it as a shark's dorsal fin.

  • @Tiemyshoebish If you are that vain, maybe you should paint the mirror black, dickweed.

  • @Tiemyshoebish If yo are that vain, maybe you should paint the mirror black, dickweed.

  • @Tiemyshoebish

    If you had a nose like Geddy, you could sniff more cocaine than 10 aardvarks!!!

  • @Tiemyshoebish I got one of those. Do that all the time.

  • @Tiemyshoebish what's wrong with you?

  • @Tiemyshoebish If I had a nose like geddy lee I'd grow my hair and tell people I was geddy lee...

  • @Tiemyshoebish We know how is the industry. When a woman is successful not being cute, it is because her talent as singer and musician is really big.

  • @Sanchoelmalo

    What? are you serious? do some research!

  • @Tiemyshoebish my mom has a nose like that...LOL its called a European nose... thank god I dont have one..lol even tho we are all german and euro in my family...

  • I seen Rush when they where touring the "Test for echos " these guys are totally serious, sounded just like the studio ,,,,,T...h...a...t..s the way it should be with all bands when they do live performances ...I Would recommend to see Rush ..............anytime.

  • Like this if you were at the concert in Hershey! I was! IT WAS SO AWESOME. Better than Green Day, which was also awesome

  • Neil Peart fans / followers...serious question because I do not know. I have heard that Neil never formally learned to play the drums, but taught himself to play and through his own study, practice, and dedication he became the master he is. Anybody know if this is true? If he was formally trained, does anyone know where? I have an 8 year old who is mezmorized by his playing and he really wants to pursue - I would like to see if I can trace Neil's path to help him along. Any help appreciated.

  • @MrDpahls1 he actually has a degree in drumming, people call him the professor. i don't know where though.

  • 7 people...don't like this video.

    

  • This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

  • RUSH = Mind blowing masters of their instruments. Lyrics that make you think.

  • THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.

  • 6 days till hamilton

  • There isn't enough Peart footage on this video

  • clowns who have no brains swear on here....my 8 yr old watches this vid and sees ming mongs writing profanity....not a bit of wonder the worlds in the state it is.....grow up.....just watch the song and enjoy....

  • My 8 year old loves Geddy and the boys sick of listening to one of the best rock songs ever

  • 4 weeks to Dublin.....FUCK YEAH

  • I can't believe only 209.000 people have seen this!!! THE PEOPLE ARE DEPRIVED!!!

  • Let's see....only 3 musicians making all of this sound....tapped harmonics on guitar to float over the bass playing the intro and outro (yeah, that happens a lot !!!)....with quite possibly the best rock drummer ever driving the whole thing, including the drum stick toss @ 2:03---2:06 just for good measure. Throw in a multitude of time changes, a key change or two, all played flawlessly. Just how amazing is Rush ?!? Peace:-)

  • 7 people are Al Gore fanitics who want motor laws that

    will force us to all drive 2-cycle peices of crap.

  • @superbulldog81 Too bad two cycle engines emit too much CO2, so that's out too. We could all ride government approved bicycles and skateboards!!! So a quick trip that used to take 5 hours would now take,,, two days!! Just like grandad used to do when he was a lad!! So then there is that little agriculture problem... How to make food for 3 billion without technology... Al Gore has the answer, he invented the internet after all... Or was that invented to launch missiles in the 60's ? - I forget...

  • 7 people could not dream with their uncle by the fireside.

  • 7 people have no taste. This song rocks.

  • jesus christ they jam. gotta see em this summer

  • I just translated the lyrics of this song in my language (Italian)...it's wonderful. Awesome song, awesome band: RUSH!

  • everything about this song rules. The tempo changes, (especially when the chase is on) the solo, the story-like lyrics... the whole mood of this song is amazing.

  • One word describes this band:GENIUS!

  • This song was inspired by a article in Road and Track, written by Richard Foster. Rush tried to contact Mr. Foster, but had to settle for a credit in the liner notes. After many years, Richard Foster discovered that the song was inspired by his story. After contacting Neil Peart, they discovered they shared a passion for BMW motorcycles. The amazing story that follows is, as Paul Harvey would say, the rest of the story....

  • you sure thats the link???doesnt work

  • @edetyg hmmm.... for some reason the link isn't working and the link I added later was removed. Go to the wikipedia page for Red Barchetta, and click on the link at the bottom of the page. It's titled "The Drummer, , the Private Eye, and Me"

  • Comment removed

  • Geddy is using a Taraus bass petal.

  • all joking aside, the best band on earth

  • hell yessss!!

  • if this is live, who is playing the keyboard?

  • @Akron162

    geddy plays keys and bass

  • @Akron162 He have 4 arms?

  • top 10 forsure

  • 7 People aren't smokin the right stuff. This is as good as it gets.

  • na fazenda do meu tio

  • I personally don't know what he's talking about, I always thought of my car as a extension of my dick ,not too much freedom with all the traffic laws. Rush is awesome,especially Neil Peart!

  • who gives.

    Car my $%&

    Everyone has different opinions

  • these lads are the greatest live performing band on the planet!

  • @Sangerz46 You've obviously never seen the Electric Light Orchestra, The Who, Pink Floyd, Chicago or Styx to name a few. Yes Rush is great,...but far from the greatest!!

  • Rush - Red Barchetta

    Playing at Madison Square Garden, New York on 04/10/11

    Does this make anyone of you guys feel great, because you are going to see them on that day?

  • "The car is a methaphor for sexuality and freedom", what next, "A cup of coffee and going shopping is a simile for spirituality".

    Those who abuse the earth will be abused by the earth.

  • @camlpg Tree Hugger. You obviously don't have enough sense to see what Neil was going for. Go listen to Nickelcrap.

  • @DeltaGaryGordon OK Earthdestroyer. Cars are only tools. I think if one puts any more value than that on a chunk of metal has nuts and bolts for brains and heart made of plastic.

    Maybe this song is about freedom. I don't know. Maybe it is mass advertising/brainwashing to make everyone think that you gotta be seen in your motorcar.

    I'd rather be seen on a horse, something normal chicks really dig.

  • @camlpg

    You are a fucking idiot.

  • @Carthsgtr  Now, Now Aussie. Better watch out there could be a flood coming your way.

  • @camlpg

    Thanks for the warning you cunt.

  • This sock rocks like from everywhere. I hear a lot of sounds here.

  • 7 people accidentally missed the like button.

  • This song reminds me of my uncle's country place we would hang out and party.ah the teenage year's..

  • @johanneandrick Funny that you say that, because this song also reminds me of my Uncle's country place, that no one knew about. He said it used to be a farm, well you know, before the motor law. Anyways, on Sundays I'd elude "the eyes" and hop the Turbine Freight, I'd go far outside "the wire" to where my white haired Uncle would wait for me. Well he's dead now, but he left me his (yep, you guessed it) cherry-red Barchetta.

  • @Slashdarocker, I have to say I 100% agree with prettynoose8497 response. The pop music world is designed to make money fast, get the masses to buy into it, and listen to it while hitting the clubs and parties. To add another point, think about how small a shelf life "the jonas brothers" and "justin Bieber " have, no way in creation will those "kids" have a career like RUSH has had, no way, mark my words, the next "pop" sensation will replace them, and in 5 years they will be has beens, fo sho

  • WOWWW BUT THE LITTLE CARTOON FUCKED IT ALL UP. MY imagination as a 8-10 year old was 50000 times better :P

  • I saw Rush at the Cow Palace in the early 1980's. I don't think there's ever been a band that works harder and takes their music more seriously. They're still one of the best technical bands ever. And not only can Neil write. He can play like a demon. It's been 30 years and I still remember that show.

  • Rush you are still # 1 !!!!

  • Listen to this in unison with the one on the album what an effect.

  • Neil Peart!!

  • In 1980 a friend of mine had a red 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner with a 440 magnun tri-power motor ( 3 carburators ). At that time it was the fastest car I'd ever been in. Anyway , my buddy used to crank Red Barchetta on the cassette deck. Every time I hear this song I picture that car !

  • Lots of car songs throughout the history of rock, but leave it to RUSH to create one that's deep.

  • 3:06 is really epic

  • Back in the day... 3rd shift, Cutting steel all night at a machine shop. Lit up the night when this would come on the radio. Rush is the working mans music!

  • Haha, those 80's Animations / Effects are so darn cheesy it's funny!

  • Neil Peart isn't a "drummer",he's a 'master percussion technician',it's almost like he treats it like a science.Best drummer ever,hands down-there aren't even enough people in his league to gather a "Best of..." !!!

  • @esellori I love Niel too, but Terry Bozzio is definalty worthy of a "Best of.."

  • My favorite Rush song, about a man going his own way and bonding with his uncle. There are shrieking tires, but no shrieking entitled women in this song.

  • To the 7 dislikes, you people are the reason we have a movie called Idiocracy.

  • this is fuckin awesome! i luv these guys!

  • I tried listening to the entire "Moving Pictures" album when I drove from Colorado to Minnesota. But my problem was I could NOT stop playing this song when I was doing 80 mph across Nebraska in my red Mustang :D

  • @drunknmunky4614 Me too except from NJ to FL taking 95 south in the carolinas.
