NICE OUTFIT GEDDY!!! (im not being sarcastic im serious) if i was of the male gender i would totally wear that ... no matter what year it is! thumbs up if u agree!!!!!
The album ALL THE WORLDS A STAGE is their finest live performance and if you play working man this tune is played in between and it is just so dam good it really grabs the brain and freezes the moment so fukin true
the best live rush songs ever where at the cleveland coffee break concerts i think there on here , not just because i actually was there but check them out i think the whole concert is on here rush at the cleveland agora, noke cleveland.
Did they even shave for the first time before they went on stage for this video? Ya, bughead I was just saying on another video Grace Under Pressure tour how they are all cleaned up and got haircuts and looking commercial and sounding kind of that way. I bet they cringe thinking about it now..
Interesting. On the studio version of this song Geddy played a Fender Precision Bass, but by this time he has his Rickenbacker 4001 which in my opinion sounds better than those Jazz basses he plays now, anyway.
man, the best thing that ever happened to Rush was to lose the Zep influence. godz... I can hardly bear to listen to this with the caveman structure and overly-repetitive guitar lick. Geddy's voice was just monster but thank Zeus they set sail into new territory with 2112 and everything after that. Even working man is kind of monotonous, IMO.
@TruthSurge You speak the truth here my man. Couldn't agree more. I love Zep, but the road RUSH paved was completly RUSH...no matter what their record label wanted at the time.
@bughead3 yeah, I just watched an interview with young Geddy and he was certainly all about giving huge corps the finger and doing things their way. They were making good money just touring and selling albums to people who just liked it enough to buy it and singles and hits and pop and let's trim 3 min off this song just wasn't going to fly (by night) with them. ahahaha man, I love that. Sure, they had musical roots but they didn't stay there. They ventured out some.
@bughead3 well, alex and geddy, already new each other for a long time, so neil probably was getting to know, alex and geddy, seeing that he just joined the band..
@Midnaslove Really? hmmm... Who are these "Beatles" you speak of? I always thought Paul McCartney was the original bass player for RUSH. I stand corrected. Thanks for the knowledge.
@hartley81848184 People felt the need to tell me that John Rutsey was the original drummer for RUSH. Instead of being a complete ass and saying "no shit", I replied that I always thought that Ringo Starr was the original drummer for RUSH. The ridiculousness of this comment shouldn't need explanation, but that didn't keep a new slew of dimwits telling me in fact that Ringo Starr was actually the drummer for The Beatles not RUSH.Yes, McCartney wasn't the bass player for RUSH. It was Roger Waters.
Rush was one of the VERY FEW bands to have IMPRESSED Jimmy Page enough that he referred to some new band called RUSH as a *RE-FRESHING GROUNDBREAKING NEW SOUND* most under-rated and forward thinking group in MUSIC HISTORY.
I'm not ever setting foot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as long as great musicians like Rush, Chicago, and Yes aren't in while crap like the Ramones are in. The HOF can kiss my ass,
saw this show live in flint mich,,holy fuck irt was great..had a load of pepes..in suburban..drunk and stoned..shrrommms and acid..depending on your luck..and timing.
that is the most hillarious comment i ever read on youtube and look at the name he calls himself. yes this is a great band. i like the thing he wrote about canada has salmon and 'great' people.
@19CACTUS51 Neil is humble in many things he does and on of his comments were he LEARNED so much from Buddy, there were others but Buddy was on of them, so we are the ones putting him on a pedistal not himself. Neal just loves to play.
@ jimmyboy131 One must not ever forget the brilliance of Neil Pert. Not unlike Alex being underrated on the axe, Neil plays as well or better than any other drummer that ever sat behind the toms. Brilliance is an understatement for the entire band.
@NeroBNiv you should expand your musical horizons if you think Neil Peart plays as well or better than any other drummer. He couldn't shine Buddy Rich's shoes.
@PoliceReality Let the differences in youtube views between Mr. Rich and Mr. Peart speak for themselves. I am apparently not the only one who beleives Mr. Peart has more to offer than Mr. Rich. Personally I think your opinion matters not when it comes to shining shoes, with all due respect, it is not clear whether you are suffering from some mental health diagnosis or not.
BTW, there is a significant difference between the amount of toms Neil utilizes vs. Buddy's. Do the math.
@yngward yeah i love their early stuff too, but there 5th album is when they start really kicking ass! moving pictures, permanent waves, and signals all kick ass man. yyz is just as heavy as this.
@bario12349 that sucks, man... that means im gonna have to go hunting for one... they stopped regular production or RE-production? or was there ever a kind of "Geddy signature 4001"?
@static1994 Just go ianmarkmusicphotos (.com) and click on Artist Index found on the bottom of the main page. When you are at the artist index just click on Rush and the shots should be there.
Alex is definitely underrated...and that's because of the pure genius of Neil and Geddy. Alex is on the short list of best rock guitarists of all time!!
Yes,big zepp influence,but its like zepp on a very higger voltage...much more energy...and after they finded their own stile.Like Plant sounds a lot like Janis...and zepp's slow blues sounded like her blues stile.Their all great...but everybody has an influence...and from that create new elements.That's how it works...
@MichaelHansenFUN i havent heard anything about easter eggs on Beyond the Lighted Stage. ill have to look but i have a feeling i may have seen this video on the second DVD of Beyond the Lighted Stage... it may take awhile though, because my sister will kill me if she hears a RUSH song playing... lol shes not exactly a fan.
Agreed - Alex is amazing - well, they all are - a natural supergroup. I think Alex had already said everything a guitar can say by quite early into their career though and his solos got a little avant garde for a while (early 80s). He lost me a little for a while.
@uptheWessums Hells yeah! Geddy is the reason I picked up a bass when I was 15. I liked John Entwistle and John Paul Jones and Chris Squire and Steve Harris, too, but it was Geddy who really kicked me in the ass with his bass playing. That bright sound he's always got, every Rush guitar solo is also like a bass solo, too, and the drums, three times the awesome of any other group. Listen to Freewill's solo, it's not just Alex, it's 3 guys owning the world at the same time.
@RCAvhstape hahah very cool bro, Steve Harris is the shit!!!!!!!!!!!! i love Iron Maiden as much as i love Rush. I dont play bass i play guitar but those guys prove that you can kick so much ass on bass
its so amazing how great these guys are...i getting to show my youngest the best music of all time and i get all goosebumpy hearing this!!!!remembering jamming to this as a kid myself on my record player...friggin' amazing!!!
Man, if they had only stuck to this basic formula. I never though keyboards did anything but weaken their writing and their sound. This just confirms my opinion.

Alex Lifeson is sooo under-rated or over-looked, it's criminal. He's one of the few I'd place in the same category with Van Halen, Hendrix, Les Paul, and Jimmy Page. He's unique, plays better than anyone, and plays how he needs/should be playing. He also does rhythm and lead in a unique style. Plus he doesn't insist on being the one in the spotlight all the time.
@jimmyboy131 That is what being Canadian means, we are not a bunch of me me me me me...ans maybe it is another reason why they have always been underrated!
@jimmyboy131 Agreed but Alex was so much better and more lively of a player here than he is now, or for the last 10 years. He's become so lazy IMHO, he could contribute more musically (like here) and they could rock even harder. He's coasting.
ok check out this photo---it has THE THREE ABSOLUTE BEST GUITARISTS THAT EVERY LIVED PERIOD
yes we have Jimmy and Stevie and Steve and Eddie but looking at length of career and body of work and songwriting ability and evolution of playing-----these are the world's absoulte BEST --I started playing guitar because I liked Rush --RUSH RULES and ERIC JOHNSON AND JOE SATRIANI ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok YOUTUBE is not letting me post this picture it is a picture--sorry
@jimmyboy131 I don't think so much he's underrated, I think they are such a force combined, that people say Rush and it means all of them. Alex is one of my favorites; not only is he a great player but an accomplished writer. Outstanding! Not overlooked here my friend! regards!
@jimmyboy131 Agreed. they seem to work in unisen without overshadowing eachother. i do enjoy the monologues Alex Lifeson does in more recent tours though... HES HILARIOUS!!!!
@jimmyboy131 The one thing I notice about Alex is that I've never heard him repeat a single riff. Most players have their pet chops that they just can't disguise. Alex has such an extensive and inventive vocabulary I think that, in my opinion makes him the best ever. Speed, grace, originality. That's Alex Lifeson to me.
@jimmyboy131 i didn't really notice this at first but i kinda became a bass player (too many kids play guitar) and i tried to play some rush (keyword tried) and it's incredible that Geddy can play bass and sing the way he does, everybody is great in this band and underrated
tomythec, there are many of us that have "brains" and long for complexity, intellect, and diversity in "rock" music. "Rush" gave us that. I like AC/DC just as much as the next guy but sometimes I just need to be challenged and want much more.
I am a die-hard rush fan. But I have to say for myself only, after 2112 the music became to complicated and long for the average listener. It was in and of itself artistic and in a place of it's own, unsurpassed still today. But the average listener just wanted to rock for 3 1/2 minutes to hard rock like ATWAS had on it. My hats off to them, but ......guys, you got too far out there for the average head banger.

You must be a bit older than me. I saw them first in 77. Heard them first in 77 too when some dude put a cassette of 2112 in while cruising around one night. Pissed me off that the radio stations never played Rush at all and a band that good could have 4 albums out before I heard of them. I mean why the f@#% wasn't Working Man on every friggen day on the major rock stations??!!
Us Rush fans made them big anyway in spite of the mainstream.
@alwaysopen I,ve seen one movie on that time but not listining the rush! Anyway if now we are sitting with my 4 yrs old son in the car he talk to me daddy play woow!!!
@alwaysopen I,ve seen one movie on that time but not listining the rush! Anyway if now we are sitting with my 4 yrs old son in the car he talks to me daddy play woow!!!
I saw these guys open for freakin' Kiss this year (yep, I'm an old bastard) and they KICKED Kiss's butt totally musically but had nuthin' stage show-wise.
@gitardoofus Of course -- Kiss was the band-in-principle; Rush was just opening. All of the effects are usually reserved for the headlining band. The producers and the band itself would never let an opening band steal their thunder. But at the end of the day, for many reasons, Rush is a better concert than Kiss.
The first time I saw both bands - 1975 - Rush opened for Kiss. I thought Rush was the better band but Kiss had a more visual show. This was for both bands second album tours, Fly by Night for Rush and Hotter than Hell for KISS.
@alwaysopen Yep - exactly the tour I was talking about - 1975. I can almost remember it! What a great time, the 70's, for great bands coming and some going (The Beatles, etc.). I hate when people say a certain decade sucked for music - it's ALWAYS happening on some level!

@RCAvhstape you have too be, geddy is the boss of bass
uptheWessums 1 year ago
@uptheWessums Hells yeah! Geddy is the reason I picked up a bass when I was 15. I liked John Entwistle and John Paul Jones and Chris Squire and Steve Harris, too, but it was Geddy who really kicked me in the ass with his bass playing. That bright sound he's always got, every Rush guitar solo is also like a bass solo, too, and the drums, three times the awesome of any other group. Listen to Freewill's solo, it's not just Alex, it's 3 guys owning the world at the same time.

Man, if they had only stuck to this basic formula. I never though keyboards did anything but weaken their writing and their sound. This just confirms my opinion.

Alex Lifeson is sooo under-rated or over-looked, it's criminal. He's one of the few I'd place in the same category with Van Halen, Hendrix, Les Paul, and Jimmy Page. He's unique, plays better than anyone, and plays how he needs/should be playing. He also does rhythm and lead in a unique style. Plus he doesn't insist on being the one in the spotlight all the time.

mulc242 1 year ago
@jimmyboy131 Agreed but Alex was so much better and more lively of a player here than he is now, or for the last 10 years. He's become so lazy IMHO, he could contribute more musically (like here) and they could rock even harder. He's coasting.

@jimmyboy131 I don't think so much he's underrated, I think they are such a force combined, that people say Rush and it means all of them. Alex is one of my favorites; not only is he a great player but an accomplished writer. Outstanding! Not overlooked here my friend! regards!

static1994 8 months ago
@jimmyboy131 The one thing I notice about Alex is that I've never heard him repeat a single riff. Most players have their pet chops that they just can't disguise. Alex has such an extensive and inventive vocabulary I think that, in my opinion makes him the best ever. Speed, grace, originality. That's Alex Lifeson to me.

@jimmyboy131 i didn't really notice this at first but i kinda became a bass player (too many kids play guitar) and i tried to play some rush (keyword tried) and it's incredible that Geddy can play bass and sing the way he does, everybody is great in this band and underrated

tomythec, there are many of us that have "brains" and long for complexity, intellect, and diversity in "rock" music. "Rush" gave us that. I like AC/DC just as much as the next guy but sometimes I just need to be challenged and want much more.

I am a die-hard rush fan. But I have to say for myself only, after 2112 the music became to complicated and long for the average listener. It was in and of itself artistic and in a place of it's own, unsurpassed still today. But the average listener just wanted to rock for 3 1/2 minutes to hard rock like ATWAS had on it. My hats off to them, but ......guys, you got too far out there for the average head banger.

You must be a bit older than me. I saw them first in 77. Heard them first in 77 too when some dude put a cassette of 2112 in while cruising around one night. Pissed me off that the radio stations never played Rush at all and a band that good could have 4 albums out before I heard of them. I mean why the f@#% wasn't Working Man on every friggen day on the major rock stations??!!
Us Rush fans made them big anyway in spite of the mainstream.

You are young - I first heard them on 8 track back in 1974. Everything was on 8 track back then even 2112.

I saw these guys open for freakin' Kiss this year (yep, I'm an old bastard) and they KICKED Kiss's butt totally musically but had nuthin' stage show-wise.
gitardoofus 1 year ago
@gitardoofus Of course -- Kiss was the band-in-principle; Rush was just opening. All of the effects are usually reserved for the headlining band. The producers and the band itself would never let an opening band steal their thunder. But at the end of the day, for many reasons, Rush is a better concert than Kiss.
whoisgalt57 1 year ago
@gitardoofus
The first time I saw both bands - 1975 - Rush opened for Kiss. I thought Rush was the better band but Kiss had a more visual show. This was for both bands second album tours, Fly by Night for Rush and Hotter than Hell for KISS.
alwaysopen 1 year ago
@alwaysopen Yep - exactly the tour I was talking about - 1975. I can almost remember it! What a great time, the 70's, for great bands coming and some going (The Beatles, etc.). I hate when people say a certain decade sucked for music - it's ALWAYS happening on some level!
