  • saw this show at the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill , NC.....w/o a doubt the most moving and awesome opening for any show I've seen them do...18 times and counting now

  • i got this dvd its a good gig

    

  • Excellent video - thanks for posting 'RollTheFemers'... btw, why do you call yourself 'RollThe Femers'? Do you mean 'femurs', or is Femer a family name? Just asking out of curiosity... I am an Osteologist by trade. Thanks again for posting.

  • one person sucks. RUSH IS GREAT

  • Alex Lifeson is god.

  • Just like an old Elvis concert with that intro.

  • Rush kicks so much ass, this sometimes injures their feet. As a result, they often need to go to a podiatrist. He begs them to stop kicking ass, but they will not relent. They keep it up, leading to larger and larger podiatrist bills. The need for all of that money to pay the podiatrist makes them practice harder so they can play more shows. Playing more shows makes them better and better.

    Now you know why Rush is so fucking awesome.

  • @primemover17 This is clearly the best reasoning ever.

  • Excellent footage!

  • Not blues rock but rock of its finest anyway!

  • Alex Lifeson is a monster. Godzilla fears him.

  • Fuck Alex rocks that solo. From 4:00 on it's mind melting.

  • where can i get this video?

  • this is so awesome you posted these! this was my 1st concert ive ever been to when i was 7 years old and ive been a huge Rush fan ever since! ive seen every rush show in the Detroit area ever since. i had no idea there was any recordings of this show!?

  • I had dinner with rush in 1987 honest injun. NYC after concert.

  • haha i love the counterparts tour!! best intro ever!

  • I can play this in bass. but I wish I had a band that would play rush songs and not AC/DC or some other crappy band like that

  • @Dthorn912 AC/DC is not crappy band! It's just as amazing as Rush is!

  • @TheRousku No sorry to say AC/DC is terrible. It's like hearing the same song played over and over.

  • @Dthorn912 But it happens to be a good song imo :)

  • Comment removed

  • @kjm0227 Neither Rush nor AC/DC are blues rock...

  • @themongboy Rush isn't but AC/DC most definitely is

  • @kjm0227 You're right. I don't know what I was thinking haha. But Rush is certainly not a blues rock band. Maybe in their really early days back in '73-'74, but certainly not now.

  • @themongboy yeah you really can't call rush a "..." rock band. They're just "Rush." In any event, both bands make great music

  • @kjm0227 The thing is, they've mad a whole different array of music, so you can't really pinpoint them! In the 70's, they were progressive rock. In the 80's, mostly electro rock or pop rock. In the 90's, they were hard rock.

  • This song is the shit.

  • @primemover17 Are you nuts??

  • forgotten lyric at 5:32 ..... hah silly Geddy

  • rick flair theme (at the first)

  • It's called "Also sprach Zarsthustra" by Richard Strauss. It was composed way before Rick Flair was a male soap opera star.

  • aleksandar zivojinovic je zakon :)

  • well it's metaphorical. look closer at the lyrics, they make sense! the title describes it all.

  • Right, metaphors are clearly not your strong point...

  • andytom, NP explained the lyrics in an interview on Rockline back in 90 or 91. I believe that first line was inspired by an episode of Nova. A picture book of the rivers under the Sahara refer to the fact that the Sahara Desert used to be a tropical rainforest. And so on and so on.

  • I did not know that- thanks!

  • ??Who are Gary and Lerxt?? Oh, and RollTheFemers the "actual" is - "Also, Sprach Zarathrustra" but your translation from German to English is correct- so props.

  • Geddy's real name is Gary and Lerxst is Alex's nickname.

  • Correct. Geddy Lee's real full name is Gary Lee Weinrib. And Alex's true surname is Zivojinovic.

    Furthermore, all three have nicknames that have been used ever since Hemispheres, I think.

    Geddy = Dirk

    Alex = Lerxst

    Neil = Pratt

  • @Bpags868 Gary Lee Weinrib, Alex Zivojinovich, and Neil Peart

  • now that the PIstons suck, Rush might be the only good act to play at the Palace!

  • they're off time

    but their lyrics make up for it.

  • I was at this show at the Palace . 17th time I had seen Rush and it was a super show!!

  • I was there, too! Got stood up- had two tickets, so I kicked back across both sets! More than well worth the drive by myself!

  • "Learning that only immortal ................For a Limited time."

    7 days from now, this video will turn 15...............Timeless.

    RUSH has powered my engine since 1975 when I was just 10 years old...........Timeless.

    The words and instruments of Gary, Lerxt and Neil now inspire and power my 11 year old son..............Timeless.

    Thanks guys, for a gift beyond price...................almost Free.

  • Well said!

  • whats the name of that jingle at the beginning? I can't figure it out for the life of me...

  • "Thus Spake Zarathustra"

  • Would love to party with Geddy and then have the band jam,especially this tune!!!!

  • beauttiful song

  • Is there a Rush song out there that has no significance or importance? No, each one kicks so much ass. Rush seems to be gaining even more popularity, which they deserve more than most bands. People were arguing over 'em on a Megadeth video lol. RUSH FOR LIFE, EH? TAKE OFF!

  • Great opening song
