  • Yeah. Doesn't even sound like the vocal melody of the original recording. The 1975 live one here on You Tube does. I've found that many times tribute bands sound better than the actual band cuz they're young still and their voices haven't gone to pot. Paul McCartney still sounds good though.

  • Rush - Rock n Roll at the highest level.

  • Saw them last night in Newcastle (UK) and they're still magnificent live! La Villa Strangiato and Working Man as encore ...... just spell-binding brilliance, and they have fun too! Awesome

  • i wish they would bring this back

  • BEST RUSH SONG!

  • also geddy did not take any lessons to sing he knew how to but to get his voice to what it was on moving pictures took A LOT of work soo, all the screamy stuff he did on earlier albums did not help his voice.

  • To think...That song was a classic when they performed it in 1991...and that was 19 years ago.

    Just saw them again in San Antonio. Still great!

  • @billbarton63 that song is 38 years old

  • @EyMeng That's why I said it was a classic in 1991 when I saw them.

  • i forgot the tour but i went to a show that somebody threw a hat on stage and somebody videotaped the full show from the crowd

    i got a bootleg video of it

  • I'm one of Rush's biggest fans..even play drums in a Rush tribute band..but I gotta say..this performance has the energy of a snail. Why even bother?

  • Goes to show that only Jon Anderson of Yes is the only one of his generation who can still hit the notes he hit in 1971 (recent illness aside).

  • @Johnnywr Umm no not just him, Dio (who is sadly passed), tommy shaw and dennis dyoung of styx, and many other others.

  • @Annonymus121 Robert Plant, Peter Gabriel, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Greg Lake, Roger Daltrey, Ian Gillan (he cant get reach his signature High A now), Ozzy Osborne, Frank Zappa gets a pass because it wasn't age related and it happened before his creative peak, which was more like a creative plateau that never went back down). David Bowie, etc...

  • Imagine singing at that pitch for his whole life!!! Yikes, that would be an incredible feat for a band who's pulled off incredible feats everytime they take the stage.

    I couldn't admire these guys more if I tried!!! Rush Forever!!!!

  • @athlon64fx10

    they had to tune down a few steps

  • Heh, this is one of those rare live versions of this song where Geddy doesn't implement the beer lyric.

  • Geddy's hair lmao!!!

  • This song sounds OK, with Alex playing the PRS, but it's missing that extra bit of balls the Gibson ES 355 has.

    Funny, I heard Alex say a PRS was 1/2 way between a strat and a Les Paul. But this is the 1st time I noticed it.

  • wow his voice has changed since the 70s

  • All of our voices have changed since the seventies.

  • I have to echo what Winterstick said with a few additions: He's still hitting the majority of the notes in this song and this entire concert and there's absolutely no mistaking that it's Geddy Lee. So, his voice is also STILL very much the SAME. ; )

  • awesome song

  • @jackpotguitar Dumb is the word for you sceptic tanks.

  • thanks

  • Very cool. They hadn't played this one since a sweet ass 5 show run here in sunny South Florida in '85. Power Windows Warm Up Tour or Second Tour Of The Nadars if you please . . .
