  • wow very rare!!!

  • That Rick Springfield playing drums!??

  • ;0)!!!!!!

  • ;0)!!!!!!

  • 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!!!!!

  • thumbs up if u think geddy lee was attractiv in this!!!! i no i do!!!! anyway AWESOME SONG!

  • Geddy loooks like John Lennon here in appearance as in the ballad of John and Yoko circa 1969.

  • 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

  • So strange to see Rush perform with a four piece drum set.

  • So strang that someone other than Geddy giving the pre song into speach.

  • Did they just come from the Disco?

  • 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..

  • Yoko Ono rips that bass up! 

  • led who?...

  • 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.

  • led zepplin is the god of rock...ruch is the prayers of god.......

  • YEAH OH YEAH!

    Oh Geddy Y U NO scream like this today?!

    Still awesome.

  • Its funny to think that Neil and Alex/Geddy barely new each other at this stage.

  • @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..

  • @bughead3 John Rutsey was the original drummer.

  • @michaelhigh1958 Really?? I always thought it was Ringo Starr:)

  • @bughead3 you're a dumbass you're thinking of The Beatles

    the original members of Rush are as follows:

    Alex Živojinović (Lifeson)- Guitar, Backing Vocals

    Jeff Jones- Bass, Lead Vocals

    John Rutsey- Drums

  • @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.

  • @bughead3

    What? Are you serious? Paul McCartney?

  • @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.

  • @bughead3 your crazy i like you but your crazy funny as shit

  • @prsplayer210 Thanks man. I'm glad you appreciate a little humor amongst the insanity.

  • nice hair, nice boots.. ever better music..

  • 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.

    portuGUESE STONER

  • @kEPTreaL100 Wuddup with your random caps, homie?

  • Love Ged's outfit! Lol XD Rock On Rush!

  • 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,

  • @tonusaitis I'd prefer if Rush were not in, they are above that shit

  • @TOSportsFan1990 Same'

  • @tonusaitis dont forget donna summer

  • 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.

  • Rush is finding their way to the hall of fame. They probably sold out 1000s of shows all around the world and still can't find that hof.

    Hey guys I think its in Cleveland where you struck your first record deal.

    I'm sure you will find your way there >RUSH ROCKS<

  • I photographed Rush in 75 and 77. To see the shots go to 70srockphotos (.com)

  • Saw them twice that year!

  • Thumbs up if you think this would've been a great song for Led Zeppelin to cover!

  • @ChipAnnaChair seriously, i think should be a AC DC cover

  • @ChipAnnaChair omfg! That's BRILLIANT!

  • @ChipAnnaChair Do you really see Robert Plant sing this?I dont..Rush was influenced by Led Zeppelin so if anything this song has Zeppelin in it .

  • wow, so weird to see Neil Peirt with that small Drum Set, great although

  • the band was on fire!

  • 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.

  • HEAVY METAAAAAL !!!!

  • Happy Birthday Geddy!!!

  • Isn't this the show where they opened for Uriah Heep?

  • where are all these freaking amazing rush videos coming from!?! thank you thank you thank you!!!

  • totalmente de acuerdo con jimmyboy,rush,grupo favorito de los grupos de rock!!!

  • @armgot ENGLISH!!! PLEASE!!!

  • @vivian2gin i have no good english,but,i like the same music that you,thank's for the video!

  • Neal Peart better than Buddy Rich ! That's Comical…

  • @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.

  • Geez, Alex! Slow down. You're going to fall off the stage.

  • So that's what happened to John Travolta's white suit from 'Saturday Night Fever'.

  • 7 people havent found their way

  • Fuck the seven people who dont like this people

  • @ 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.

  • I saw these guys live just a few months before this was filmed. Awesome! Thanks for the memory.

  • 7 pessoas não gostam de rock in roll

  • I love the band, when it plays heavy pieces, like this one!

    These ballad-folksy ones made me give up on listening to their discography somewhere around 5th album.

  • @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.

  • I was not professional at the time as I was only about 18 years old.

  • I like geddys bass... is that one of his rickenbackers or something else?

  • Thats a 4001. They stopped making them a while ago

  • @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"?

  • how many amps does one guitarist need???

  • I saw this tour: Rush, Tubes, Kiss - Winterland

  • I photographed Rush in an outdoor concert in Calgary on Sept 21, 1975. To see the shots go to ianmarkmusicphotos (.com)

  • @mrianmark you lucky (place censored word here) lol :) is there an extension to the url to find the rush photos?

  • @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.

  • @mrianmark thanks! im impressed by the photographs. do you photograph professionally, or is it a hobby?

  • rush is a class act . sweet

  • holy crap Geddy sounds like Robert Plant on this song

  • 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!!

  • 4:20

    

  • fuck yeah

  • Finding my way!!

  • Alex is doing what sounds like pick-hand harmonics here.

    WAY WAY before its time.

    YIKES

    k

  • These guys seem to be genuinely having fun.

    That say something

    k

  • 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...

  • I have always loved Rush songs, all Three are excellent at what they do. They have their own unique sound, no one tries to copy them either.

  • Thanks for sharing some great classic Rush. Bringing my son to his first Rush concert this month. Such a great band.

  • yea baby a yr after i was born this shit is in my blood and soul ROCK ON !!

  • Goddamn they rocked HARD back in the day! Love the white suit Geddy

  • I am so glad i found the "Moving Pictures" album in the garage when I was 13. Now, im 16, and a huge fan of theirs. All hail RUSH, the gods of rock!

    one more thing, wha tour is this from?

  • @static1994 I think this is the tour where they opened up for KISS and Uriah Heep?

  • @Andrewoid95 thanks. ill have to look for that. Do you suppose this is an "easter egg" video on a concert DVD?

  • @static1994 It's in the very beginning of the documentary when Neil's introduced.

  • @Andrewoid95 on which DVD? i dont know if ive bought it yet....

  • @static1994 Beyond The Lighted Stage, man.

  • @Andrewoid95 lovely... I didnt even know easter eggs were on that dvd. XD epic fail for me... what else have I missed out on?

  • @static1994 are there easter eggs on the beyond the lighted stage? because i found these videos done the bands way on another dvd

  • @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.

  • I am so glad i found the "Moving Pictures" album in the garage when I was 13. Now, im 16, and a huge fan of theirs. All hail RUSH, the gods of rock!

  • What a hell of a concert this was back at mohawk college,it was great with john rutsey.

  • Definitely the coolest Canadians ever.

  • 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.

  • the sound was so raw.Gibson & Marshall Rule!!

  • WHY IS RUSH not in the ROCK and ROLL HALL OF FAME....? TELL ME.....

  • @Bonzophuebes10 I agree, it is criminal that they are not in the hall of fame!!

  • @Leah24ify who givs a s

  • @Leah24ify they are in the rock hall of fame.. put in about 3 years ago.

  • @delweine way to troll !!!

  • @Leah24ify Who cares anyway? Fuck the Hall of Fame, fuck the Grammys, fuck the Junos, fuck Rolling Stone top 100 lists... music is not a competition.

  • @Leah24ify donna summer will be lol the hall is a joke

  • Oops sorry . It,s Geddy. What a doofus.

  • getty was a guided  missile at the center of your mind in those days . fuckin' amazing!

  • que doidera!!!

  • Is this when they were on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert? I vaguely remember them being on that or the Midnight Special!

  • @stratovani This is DKRC. They were never on Midnight Special.

  • all I can say about this is - KICK -A-S-S- !!

  • That's what Bluto said

  • i love that bass, the late Cliff Burton from Metallica played one just like it

  • @uptheWessums Cliff Burton was a Geddy fan, like so many other bassists.

  • @RCAvhstape you have too be, geddy is the boss of bass

  • @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

  • Gonna see them May 12th next year :D

  • 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!!!

  • this is  how u jam a three man band this is great.

  • 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.

  • rush rockz proud canadian yee haa

  • Imagine all this music coming out of a trio! I am so glad that my older brother bought that Rush tape back in the day. And Canada is such a cool country....home of DOA, killer bud, salmon, and great people!!!!

  • @mkultra1969  eah

  • @mkultra1969 but some boring ass history :P

  • Imagine all this music coming out of a trio! I am so glad that my older brother bought that Rush tape back in the day.

  • @mkultra1969 Lol me too I was exactly my daughters age when this was made and I am sure my older bro had the l.p. ! but now my daughter is telling me to TURN IT DOWN lol like me Dad(r.i.p.) was my bro. love the hippies ! peace Rick Wichita Ks.

  • Geddy Lee's balls are delicious!

  • Rush is my favorite band!!!!! If they ever get voted in the Rock & Roll HOF I hope Geddy, Alex, & Neil tell them to f*ck off!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 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

    yes, Alex is definitely a cut above......super impressive guitar skills.

  • @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

    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 You forgot all around funny guy.

  • @jimmyboy131 you are so right...thumbs up

  • @jimmyboy131

    i agree. Somehow these 3 excellent musicians managed to get along for what, about 40 years?

    They are hard to beat.

  • @MinnowFace5 I wanted to see the "Time Machine Tour" (still on now) but i dont have the money. :(

  • @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

  • GODS......

  • Lets start a petiton nationwide to get these in the Hall of Fame!!!! this is bullshit

  • @StoneColdWWE67 RUSH is to good for the R&RHOF..

  • don kirschner, right?

  • taken from a bootleg and cleaned up

  • 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.

  • Did John Rutsey ever perform live with them, or is that Neil Peart drumming?

  • @studmeow Most definitely Neil.

  • 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.

  • @gitardoofus

    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.

  • @rcgaz

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

  • @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!!!

  • 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.

  • @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 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!

  • i love the way Geddy screams at the begining

  • yeah its pretty gdamn awsome, neil peart is on drums.
