Rush - A Passage to Bangkok - Live in Holland

[bakerfam1000]

was this an encore????

[euscos]

Audience died there? How can they be so numb listening to that amazing sound?

[therehastobeme]

Rush Is Like Wine , They Both Get Better With Age

[mzbgwkk]

I love this song. I am sure these guys always had excellent, grade A pot and hash along their musical journey.

[xsited1]

I used to bang some buddy's mom in High School in Toronto to the sounds of Rush.

[Oliveirex1]

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???? I didn't say your mom's buddies are in the documentary!!!!!! I said that there is a woman in the video (if I am not wrong it was geddy's mother or whatever, NOT IMPORTANT WHO IS SHE) that says EXACTLY the same story as YOU said it happened to your mom -_-

[Barcier16]

@Oliveirex1 You do this face" -___- "too much. Stop it



[keepntyme]

RUSH Day 2112..... today 2/1/12 ! Should be a day off with Pay!

[dvdfrnzwbr]

Damn that Jetglow Rickenbacker Bass is breath taking.

[75dogtown]

Geddy always sounded his best with his Ricky.....

[xsellsbrod]

great Trip ... WOW, a Rickenbecker Bass

[h4r4]

Fuck me listen to that bass, Geddy is a legend!

[StephenAnthonyMusic]

I like to take a big bong rip during the "inhale" part.

[Smailien]

This is by far my favorite Alex Lifeson solo and one of the top 5 of all time!

[greengrassfish]

rickenbacker > Jazz Bass

[cbarrett34]

The Rush guys have always been pot heads and still are to this day

[acemacen]

One of the all time best rush songs and the best song ever about weed. Go Alex!

[AJAM69]

THE RICK!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant remember if Geddy whipped it out when i saw them..damn they are so good at their age

[AJAM69]

SO AWESOME!!!!

[Mcfly1964]

5 people missed the train to Bangkok.

[Thomasgalbraith]

im going to kill those 4 people who disliked this song

[neilpeart311]

@Thomasgalbraith Best serial killer ever!

[football11312]

rush is awesome.

[EpicClapton]

This song fits holland :D

[vidman520]

@EpicClapton I heard weed was expensive as fuck in holland.

[EpicClapton]

@vidman520 I don't know... I only know that many Germans go there for the coffeeshops.

[SHADOWBEAR82763]

my fave Rush song

[BeckieElanorjv713]

na könnte saltos schlagen so happy

[alkimst13]

I always love to see Alex with his ES. He looks out of character with a Strat or LP in his hands. Neil Peart is as great a lyricist as he is a drummer. Maybe even better, if that is possible? I wish i had the talent he has in his little finger.

[castoff231]

god love alex and his weed

[TheErotomano]

Excelent image!!!, the song is the best, The band is God!!!!!!

[MsPanicnation]

Thx Rush, for living your dreams and for that great music more than 30 years .

[POskio66]

listen to that Rick!!! i wish he played it more on some of the older tunes.

[snakehunter1964]

@POskio66 exactly!!! ;) i have 2 4003's because of Geddy and Chris Squire! i agree! wish he would bring it out more. i mean, he'd sound great on any bass, but i really identify with him on the Rick!

[foxyfoxcold863]

Great just great man.

[superstratman13]

my faviort rush song, disaponted when they dident play it in the time machen

tour

[1cruefan4life]

i still gotta listen to this song while getting high, havnt done it yet!!! Rush makes amazing music

[ridgeback69z]

Little slow but great.

[JediMasterCheryl]

Alex made me LOL 1:06-1:08

CLASSIC!

[snakehunter1964]

@JediMasterCheryl haha!!! ;) i love these guys!

[midnightneonmatt]

YES ALEX BLAZZZE!

[RockFromDownUnder23]

ever find a song so perfectly written and performed, even thirty years after its birth, and just find it sickening how amazing it is? just fucking perfect, no question. Rush is just....ugh fuck no words even begin to explain.

[extradutyfelt1]

R-religion

U-unmatched

S-superior

H-heavenly

[crywalt]

The All Powerful Rickenbacher Lives AGAIN!

[MsPrincesspaulina]

@Zaktheninjadude: You do realize that Neils wife died of cancer, don't you? Maybe you want to think before making comments like this? Just a friendly suggestion.

[sjnorman2]

I love rush, but Geddy needs to stop singing so pushed and high and pay attention to the monitors and relax a bit.

[asianpsuation]

@sjnorman2 His voice has lost some punch after the decades, no doubt, that's probably the strain you're hearing....not easy for someone his age to play Caress of Steel era stuff, the vocals are...energetic. Still pretty impressive if you ask me.

[AJAM69]

@sjnorman2 lol...hes like 30 years OLDER than he was when he recorded this song its just him straining from the almost 3 hour show. Keep in mind this is Encore...

[Zaktheninjadude]

Neil Peart can heal cancer with his drum stick patterns

[HartsChannel]

3:21 Dinosaur POV cam. EPICNESS!!

[SerjXIHoward]

It's the almighty Rickenbacker!!!! :D Rush = THE BEST BAND TO EVER LIVE.

[Kazinsal]

@SerjXIHoward Geddy's Rick (or maybe his doubleneck Rick) is probably the coolest bass ever.

[ulissesnascim]

Holy crap, please hire another vocalist or something. Geddy was half bad when he was young, now he is just... whatever.

[ManOffTTC]

@ulissesnascim Hire another vocalist? LOL no fucking vocalist can replace Geddy.

[snakehunter1964]

@ManOffTTC i agree 1,000,000%!!!! ;)

[24ezona]

Rush is the best band ever. By far!

[Slaye012]

@24ezona and By-Tor

[bluntman1138]

Holy shit... I LOVE Alex's little smokin gesture. at 1:06

Usually i watch other videos of Passage, this is the first time watching the Holland performance..

[davehaasphoto]

You do realize that sometimes bands change up songs on occasion - like EC and Cociane or After Midnight? Great video by the hardest working band in the world. And as Geddy says - "We have some very aromatic fans!"

[entman7]

This is so slow...jesus. Neil Peart"s solo is a shadow of what it was on the album...Sorry dudes I am one of the 4. Thumbs down.

[shaun3701]

Neil has already checked out at this point... he's just waiting to run off the stage

[AaronShowbiz]

YA GEDDY! Bustin' out the Ric. I've seen Rush 4 times in concert, and not once have I ever heard this song live, or seen Geddy Lee play a Ric bass... Thank god I checked this video out.

[GREEKNICK13]

What's wrong with the whole tempo of the song?? I prefer it a little speedy like the studio version in 2112

[IgnacioBuenosnachos]

@GREEKNICK13 Dude they're OLD!! And if it's off tempo it ain't by much. I hope to see RUSH playing live at Country Acres Retirement Estates when I'm 70 and they're 90. I won't give a rat's flying ass if they're off tempo.

[GREEKNICK13]

@IgnacioBuenosnachos What are you, a smartass?? Stop preaching your bullshit I just made a remark..

[SSShops]

I love Rush's new stuff... but NOTHING COMPARES to the classics from the 70's and early 80's... Just plain awesome!

[TheDrumLines]

My buddies mom went to high school with Geddy and Alex in Toronto.

She lived right next door to Geddy and said they would always play so loud in his garage that you could hear it up and down the entire street LOL.

[extradutyfelt1]

@TheDrumLines cooool! thanks for sharing!

[Oliveirex1]

@TheDrumLines bla bla bla bla.... I am sure you got that from the rush documentary video Beyond the Lighted Stage -___-

Anyways, fantasies are healthy in a certain dosage!

[Oliveirex1]

@TheDrumLines ah yeah! I have saw the same statement in the rush documentary "beyond the lighted stage" -___-

[TheDrumLines]

@Oliveirex1 It's not really a big deal LOL. My buddies mom lived next door to RUSH when they were just a high school band and she went to school with Geddy and Alex. I mean they are just some dudes that had a garage band and happened to hit it big time and have an extremely successful musical career.

[Oliveirex1]

@TheDrumLines -_- dude, wake up!! that is exactly in the documentary... don't make yourself a fool!! everybody who watched the documentary knows this statement comes from there -_-

I could come here and tell that Geddy Lee used to come by my house ( he was a close friend with my brother) to watch football -_-

See? it sounds ridiculous and clearly it is a lie, just like your statement

[videocircus]

@Oliveirex1 Alrighty then, whatever you want to think man LOL..

I don't think you play with a full deck of cards. BTW there is nothing in the Documentry that talks about my buddies mom living next door to Geddy Lee.

That's how I know you are a total NUT JOB, you don't make any sense.

P.S. I also personaly know the 2 guys who made the documentry, but you will probably not believe that either LOL.

[InquiringDeist]

I want that guitar!

[nathantim]

1:07 = LOL. Alex is awesome. I recently watched the new Rush Documentary: "Beyond the lighted stage", and those 3 guys are a riot to watch!. They always consider themselves boring, but I think they have a kickass sense of humor. Neil is a shy guy who wont deal with fans because he cant stand the flattery. He gets redfaced lol. A must see documentary for ANY Rush fan.

[steviezace]

Hey Neil, Looks like you're sleeping. Where are all the the FILLS.

[vectron12]

dat 4001

[PohatuJr]

I love Geddy's bass!

[astrophysics123]

It's amazing how Neil can write incredible lyrics that are about weed. Long Live Alex, Geddy, & Neil. RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[theSamson72]

SOOOOOO........HIGH! Can Not Catch My Breath.........Must Have Been The Lebanon......

[EhPeach]

Vapour Trails tour?  Beachballs!!

[sgtpepper1138]

@EhPeach Snakes & Arrows.

[neilgatpandan]

@EhPeach this is like 6 years and 2 tours after

[cjlarsen68]

Love it when Ged breaks out the Ric!

[BELAIRCHARGERHEMI]

This should of been the theme song for Hangover II

[SlicksTheEnigma]

Neil's Snare sounds great. Along with the drumset as well of course.

[Hoyt422]

Fucking awesome! One of the very best Rush tracks IMHO.... They get into such a groove during the solo that I'm always surprised that they ever get out... AND that white 335.... Drooooooooooool!

[oi565]

Geddy looks a bit like John Lennon

[superunt43]

@oi565 Yah think?

[SgtPeppersification]

3 people got lost in Bangkok

[Fanucci34]

3 People are on crack...

[malinwj1]

Jesus listen to the distortion on that bass

[rsreed63]

I wonder what the band does with all the roasted chickens after the show ... ?

[airbeamer]

@rsreed63 The roasted chickens are sold on ebay, the cash goes to a charitable purpose. Overseas delivery might take a few weeks :P - so I've been told ;o) -

[jaieallen8888]

CHILL OUT WITH THE RACIAL SHIT.....LISTEN I'M A BLACK MAN WHO IS A BIG HIP HOP HEAD BUT DOPE MUSIC IS DOPE MUSIC. I GREW UP ON LONG ISLAND AND THE WHITE BOYS I WENT TO SCHOOL PUT ME ON TO RUSH IN THE 80'S I'VE BEEN A FAN EVERY SINCE....PAY HOMAGE TO THE GREATS

[professorfoxtrot]

@jaieallen8888 I think he might be referring to his page which has a bunch of "nigga" oriented stuff. guitaHer099 is obviously a troll looking for some entertainment by getting a reaction from some of the most devout fans on earth.

[guitaHer099]

@professorfoxtrot you are such a fucking racist its not even funny! I guess you think all black people are trolls huh. really fucking mature you keyboard warrior dickhole, i hope you burn in hell.

[professorfoxtrot]

@guitaHer099 Tits or GTFO.

[guitaHer099]

@professorfoxtrot suck my dick johnny rebel

[guitaHer099]

@jaieallen8888 hows the view from uncle toms cabin?

[jaieallen8888]

RUSH IS THE ULTIMATE

[GabrielDhalaman]

I was watching a dream theater cover from this one and james labrie could not reach several notes from the original version,even that guy,ahahah

geddy can´t reach his notes only 30 years later,ahahahah

i am glad they are playing this one complete,no one needs it and several others on a medley

[ub3r2008]

@GabrielDhalaman James's voice is naturally lower than Geddy's. But It shows how much they have been influenced by and love Rush, to do a cover that the singer can't even sing correctly (to no fault of his own, Labrie's voice is just the way it is).

Disclaimer: If anyone decides to call me a DT hater, I'm totally the opposite of that. But it's a fact that James would have a hard time singing Rush after his vocal rupture(s) and subsequent surgeries.

[GabrielDhalaman]

@ub3r2008 Yes,james vocal injuries was sad for ALL of us,rockers,thanks to those problems he no longer has that voice he had back in 92,93,but this link DT does with their own idols,bringing information about these classical bands to a youth far from them(a part of the youth)is adorable,lovely

but yes,also his voice is lower than geddy´s naturally,thats the main reason

it would be maybe a little strange in the vocal parts,but dt should cover one rush album as they did with other bands

[guitaHer099]

this band is for fags

[ManOffTTC]

@guitaHer099 then why did you watch this vid? stupid sandnigger.

[guitaHer099]

@ManOffTTC hey bro theres no need to be racist

[ManOffTTC]

@guitaHer099 i apologize if you got hurt from my words, i'm not a racist.

but why watch this video if you hate rush? rush is not for fags, everybody has his own taste in music, that doesn't make him a fag.

[guitaHer099]

@ManOffTTC sigh* i guess people on the internet are just ignorant.

[ManOffTTC]

@guitaHer099 Indeed. Especially people who write stupid comments.

[guitaHer099]

@ManOffTTC i accept your apology

[MrMr1970dodgecharger]

@guitaHer099 fine then you fag go listen to your justin bieber FAGGOT

[guitaHer099]

@MrMr1970dodgecharger at least justin bieber has talent

[MrEtienne1122]

@guitaHer099 no he doesnt

[guitaHer099]

@MrEtienne1122 Yeah i agree rush sucks

[ThatKrookedVulture]

@guitaHer099 Justin Beiber? You're as pathetic of a human being as that little douchebag is.

[guitaHer099]

@ThatKrookedVulture i am better than you at least

[ThatKrookedVulture]

@guitaHer099 Oh yeah. After all who could ever compare to somebody with a name like "G. Tiberius Blacknigger?" Get back to me when you're not a fag.

[guitaHer099]

@ThatKrookedVulture ITS PRONOUNCED BLACK-EN-GER YOU FUCKING RACIST! its a german name. although i wouldn't expect you to know because your a fag.

[ThatKrookedVulture]

@guitaHer099 I copied and pasted the name (G. Tiberius Blacknigger) that you put on your YouTube page you stupid fucker. Oooh it all makes sense now. You just troll youtube videos to get a reaction out of people. How else would a faggoty ass Justin Beiber fan have found their way to this Rush video? Get a fucking life. I can just picture your fat ass oozing out the sides of the chair as you write these comments in your mom's basement while sucking Cheeto dust off your chubby fingers.

[guitaHer099]

@ThatKrookedVulture cheetos are delicious you racist asshole. educate yourself on The Nigger Movement then you will understand.

[ThatKrookedVulture]

@guitaHer099 Oh now who's the racist? Now you're saying "niggar". You never denied the part about your fat ass oozing out the sides of your armchair. Also there was never a "Niggar Movement." If you're talking about the Civil Rights Movement then you're a dipshit because cheetos have nothing to do with it.

[guitaHer099]

@ThatKrookedVulture NO u dumbfuck.The Nigger Movement is a grassroots inner city uprising to take back the word. We use it in a positive concept calling us and the things and people we like niggers to try and make the word a tool for love instead of hate. Your are a fucking retard, who needs to get cancer

[ThatKrookedVulture]

@guitaHer099 Gee wiz how long did it take you to bullshit your way through that last comment? Notice how every comment that people send you is negative? Get back to me when you're not a faggot. I guess I won't hear back from you then.

[tmn1231]

Better than the studio version and almost even wtih the ESL version, all he needs is his 4080/12 for the solo and an even better bass tone.

[RockFromDownUnder23]

love alex's geetar

[Cencored100]

i think they are the ultimate band

[MrKmoes]

3 people missed the train

[indigoroots]

I LIVE IN BANGKOK. I'VE SEEN YNGVIE MALSTEEM LIVE IN BANGKOK, ERIC CLAPTON LIVE IN BANGKOK, AND CARLOS SANTANA LIVE IN BANGKOK. NOW I'M WAITING FOR RUSH TO PLAY LIVE IN BANGKOK!

[meatpole55]

[joaofilipeponte]

[Hockeyguy8541]

0:35 "Sweet! your makin baked beans"

[deejfun]

this recording is just over the top - wow

[Kazinsal]

The only way this could have been better is if it had the Exit...Stage Left version of the solo. THAT was an amazing version of this song.

[Truehorn99]

What a great song to see live. Love how they did it....

[REDMARS2112]

@Crisopes Good point.

[Pdark1]

Alex rocks that guitar, wish I could play like that lol fastest fingers I've seen. rush ftw

[REDMARS2112]

Two legends in ONE band. Amazing.

[Crisopes]

@REDMARS2112 three ;)

[aNimaLmex]

[chuckair1]

[AngellCaido]

[heritage80elite]

Vival la ES-355! Lifeson kicks ass! Great tune!!!! Thank you for posting.

[Andrewoid95]

Damn, even Geddy can still sing "Passage to Bangkok"! Great stuff!!

[Ardent15]

Neil SMILED at the end! :D

[xxBabyBlue]

[gfiyugewersa]

[21Xanadu12Qc]

I was on the train to Bangkok

[s4001]

Geddy playin' a Ric and signing about weed.  All is right again.

[Hockeyguy8541]

ya

geddy isnt the same

[Crowz91]

Geddy's voice ain't the same =/

[baddog255]

@Crowz91 that's obvious, he's near to be 60 years old! but he's still doing an awesome job ;)

[macman0204]

Love when Alex does the air toke during the song. Gotta go, I got the munchies.

[MrNatalRocks]

SUPER. I love when they put a chinese riff in the midle!.

[zazzlesthecat69]

1:06 the secret to Rush's creative genius

[samurai1993]

Though I love every tone Geddy have had (yeah, even the steinberger...), the Rick just stands on its own!!

[TheAndrewSchlieter]

"I hope they play Bangkok. Nah, they never play Bangkok..." -- Jerry Stiller

[XtremeCam]

@TheAndrewSchlieter But when they do... man oh man. This song gives me an orgasm every time.

[tacomadavid68]

@TheAndrewSchlieter I seen rush in concert twice in my life. They are a great band but they omit allot of there hit songs during the show and play allot of songs no one has heard of.

[Sandler41882]

@TheAndrewSchlieter Is there any video footage of his intro? so funny

[mcneely2818]

@TheAndrewSchlieter what movie is that from?

[jo366]

@mcneely2818 It's from the short film Rush used as an intro to the R30 tour and included on the Live in Frankfurt DVD. Jerry Stiller (Seinfeld & The King of Queens) says the line.

[Volroy]

My FAVORITE RUSH song of all time. I saw them in Nashville April 3rd and I can't remember if they played this or not. Imagine that. I was buzzed yes Indeed! What an Awesome band!!! The next time I see them, I'll be front row!!!

[SpeedStream110]

RIck sounds sooo good!

[zBassGuitarFanaticz]

great quality

[RockFromDownUnder23]

i want. that. fucking. guitar T__T

[rocker4u123]

love that opening riff. God it doesn't get better than this
