Rush - Mission 6-27-1990

[Thompsongs]

MAN, I think this is the most "on fire" version of Mission I've heard!

[mavrush79]

Wow, what happened to Geddy's singing at 2:08? LOL!

[RollTheFemers]

@mavrush79 Haha, he messed THAT one up, didn't he! ;)

[retronovation7]

Geddy's voice seemed to have changed a bit between '87(A show of hands) and '90 live performances.

[GangstaLink]

Presto is awesome. Anagram ftw.

[jesse1291]

his hair looks cool

[earlymtv]

rush is the best band ever.. someone told me that aerosmith is better. no way

[sgtpepper1138]

no fricken way, don't get me wrong, I like Aerosmith

but RUSH is just too damn cool, they seem like really nice people, and are not full of themselves like other acts. and other acts would have just had another drummer play with them if their drummer went through what Neil went through in the late 90s. RUSH are a class act all the way.

[spartanofdelphi]

anyone know where i can find a youtube video that just has this song instead of Live?

[RushRules4]

A lot of my dads friends that loved Rush stopped loving them after "Presto" i don't see why i love the album!

[U2RoxMyWorld]

I agree w/ you. My husband and I are huge Rush fans (also die-hard U2 fans-hence my user name), and 'Presto' is at the top of both our lists for favorite Rush album:)

[RushRules4]

Well thank you for agreeing with me

[U2RoxMyWorld]

No prob :) I know great music when I hear it:)

[steamloco1705]

emblematic,idealistic and beautiful,a piece of art well elaborated,an eternal icon from the perfect band.

[U2RoxMyWorld]

That's some funky/feathered hairdo Alex has there, lol! Love 'Mission' and Rush:)

[Punkmetaller]

Why does Geddy look eerily like Les Claypool in this video?

[U2RoxMyWorld]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[rainbowmonkey27]

there worst album

[Truehorn99]

The "Live" ending of this song is so powerfull. I love it. Much better than the studio version that just kinds of fades. Glad they brought it back..

[1980MF1980]

Music to me is at its purest when its about an emotion and not about playing. The animation and music serve to express the untangible - it comes together amazingly well in "A Show of Hands", I feel something in those videos even with the sound off! That is true art.

[haruuj]

I was at this show. I remember it well.

[saleens]

how the heck do they skip alex's end solo just to show the red ball animation?!

[RollTheFemers]

This particular show focuses a lot on the backdrops and animations. I seems it shows the backdrop images whenever it comes on. In fact, some of the songs from this show like Force Ten don't even have any footage of the band! It has the backdrops, and when the backdrop isn't showing anything, it just has a black screen.

But, let's not forget -- this is not an official release. And we're lucky to have proshot footage from the Presto tour. I wish too, though, they would have shown his solo.

[saleens]

agreed :)

[sgtpepper1138]

going to see them june 1st, this should still be in their set list I HOPE

[RollTheFemers]

It is! :-)

[mcfinch2]

Right on. They should bring back vital signs and the necromancer too.

[rimshot74]

Not particularly a fan of The Necromancer, but I agree. The Fountain of Lamneth as well.

[kikme778]

@mcfinch2 THE NECROMANCER!!!!!

[woloschuk123]

[CounterClockWiseProd]

[sgtpepper1138]

it was like a flawless show
