  • the focus is sharp in the city,,,,,,,,,

  • No one actually dislikes the song.... something evil just made them click the button at some point in time.

  • LOL. Like there is any such thing as a "BEST" Rush album. Cause there all "best". Well we all prolly agree that Vapor Trails was a let down but only because of a terrible mixing job.

  • 2 people have cameras fer eyes

  • @seganerd89 their loss

  • I don't know about you, but Der Trommler, This and La VIlla Strangaito are the best...

  • Everybody talks about the "burp" at 8:56 on forums and fan-sites...But I just can't listen to anything...:(

  • @simpsonmania18 8:43 he burps

  • @simpsonmania18 8:43 he burps lol

  • how about any album that says RUSH is their best

  • hemispheres is atleast as good or permanent waves

  • hemispheres is atleast as good.

  • what about farewell to kings?

    

  • agreed, next to roll the bones, hold your fire, 2112 and spirit of the radio

  • The guitar solo at the end (after 9 minutes) is spine-tingling. Has there ever been a better fusion of guitar, bass and drums. The bass work is simply unbelievable.

  • EPIC

  • some a-hole had to dislike this!

  • Just...wow.

  • me like!

  • @NIKKZIITRIXZII i went to that concert it was great.

  • Anyone else think Moving Pictures is the best Rush album

  • @xpander33 i do next to 2112 and hold your fire

  • @KenneWilleJ1102 It's so hard to pick just one, but if I were to pick one, it would be either 2112 or this. See how I can't pick one of those two?

  • @KenneWilleJ1102 hold your fire?

  • @xpander33 While Moving Pictures is obviously a masterpiece, Hemispheres has always been my favourite. <-- notice the Canadian spelling

  • i say there all equally good but it is one of my favs

  • @xpander33 That was our group bond!!!~~~

  • @xpander33 Dude, Moving Pictures, 2112 and Fly By Night are the best! :D

  • @xpander33 , Great album, but mine is Hemispheres. But every Rush album is a great one. Well almost.

  • someone notice the voices at 8:44 and 8:46?

  • Its great that you people were able to see these great artists....I am envious of your experience...one thing is clear...this piece is among the greatist Rush pieces of all time. It just seems to ring an inner tone that no other thing can.....HUGE!

  • this song still gives me goosebumps, Moving Pictures was such an good album.

  • got to see this in tampa <3

  • best band forever

  • Rush is the best band ever.

  • California Gov. put a Nano Chip inside me, and George Devil Lim Echp Park dental did the same Ca, Devils...Remove them Govenator Devil

  • Nice song, great

  • tomorrow, dallas, be there

  • fuck the RR hall of fame!!! Im going to RUSH Tonite!!! Houston BABY!!!

  • this last tour was fucking fantaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaastic especially when they played this. I've seen Rush 3 times now and this was just like UNBEFUCKINGLIEVABLY GOOD! I FUCKING CRIED AND SHOUTED SO MUCH WHEN THEY PLAYED THIS SONG. One of their best BY FAR.

  • saw at the Garden last tues kicked ass

  • @fastfingers110 Absolutely man! I was there too, this was the highlight of the evening for me. The 2nd act was relentless! Great show

  • im 12 and i saw them on august 14th at the mgm garden arena with my best friend jake i really want to thank our dads for introducing us to such an awseome band becuz its really our responsibility to make sure that rock doesnt die and it keeps living on RUSH FOREVER!!!!!!!!

  • Saw them im Milwaukee and Chicago both times :) 

  • Saw them Holmdel; wow amazing show alex had a few techincal probs but what an amazing show...

  • saw the guys at the ny state fair.. they were off the chain...!! had 20th row..

  • saw the guys at the ny state fair.. they were off the chain...!!

  • saw the guys at the new york state fair !! 20th row.. they played for 2 1/2 hours..im still buzzin'...

  • This song was awesome in Salt Lake City!

  • love dis song :) im 13 and teachin myslf this song on the bass right now :) (im like theee worlds biggest rush fan!!) ;)

  • Great air drumming song!

  • I saw this live in Syracuse NY Yesterday!

  • @xGamerGuuyx

    I was with you at the Great NYS Fair, Rush blew my mind!

  • @treinhart58 Nice! What section were u in? Yellow, red or blue. I was in red.

  • i just saw rush last sunday and it sounded just like this!

  • Not in Rock Hall of Fame yet ! What a total farce.

  • @beaglestink Don't sweat the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame snub, it's not like that achievement has any real significance anyway. They inducted ABBA, for crying out loud! The Sex Pistols did it best when they refused to attend when they were inducted in 2006 and appropriately called the institution "urine in wine."

  • @thegreatdaveo well still, if there willing to indraduce crappy artists than they should at least be nominated.

  • @steveexplodes I agree, just keep in mind that a grand total of three people decide who gets nominated. It's not decided by fans or even anyone heavily involved or experienced in the music business.  The nomination process is controlled by a few individuals who are not musicians and who merely reflect their tastes rather than the views of the rock world as a whole. To sum up, the R&R HoF means squat. Me and 2 of my buddies could make our own HoF and it would have as much significance.

  • @thegreatdaveo Only three? Maby youtr right.

    but they should still be in.

  • @steveexplodes Rush was nominated, but they were rejected for not having enough main stream play. its stupid.

  • @brotherbloodx12x dumbasses.

  • @steveexplodes brah think before you post. 

  • Wow, one dislike. 98 likes.

  • This song makes me thankful to have ears

  • Didn't get as much airtime as side one of Moving Pictures.

    This song still takes me away to a leaden sky.

  • Thanks for squeezing it all in, um, the song!!

  • they coming close to where i live.. i dont know tons about them tho.. i know all the good songs an shit.. but are they good live?? are they worth going to see?? are they still mostly the original people in the group.. should i go??

  • @Mr69camarofan

    They're still the same three men that they've been since the early 70's. And yes, they sound fantastic live! These three are among the most talented musicians in rock, period.

  • Mindblowing. I really want to see Rush live!!! I probably won't though. :(

  • Thank you, KWJ1102!!!

  • saw them at air canada center, july 17th this year. they played everything i wanted them to except this one :(

  • @Telilax i saw them at Jones Beach July 24 in NY they played this song

  • @KenneWilleJ1102 saw in santiago, they play all the moving pictures

  • @KenneWilleJ1102 I was @ that show too. It was my 10 yr old's 1st Rush show!!! My 12th

  • @jjcjammer a had a 4yr old sit behind my once

  • im 14 years old and im obsesed wit Rush ... i went to bthe time machine tour my 2nd Rush show it was amazin!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 BEST BAND EVA!!!!!!

  • @snomocycle21 Im so glad to hear that young kids are into Rush. They are a great band with great lyrics.

  • @Telilax brah i was there as well and they sure as hell played this.

  • @Telilax they shouldve played this the whole tour I saw them twice and they did were you int he shitter and maybe missed it?

  • This song is so goddamn powerful, this video has 20k views and 0 dislikes. Rush FTW.

  • to quote alex lifeson ``if it was`nt for moving pictures we would`nt be around doing what were still doing`` completey agree. this album is rush in their finest hour. this is the defining rush album. a must have. don`t fucking download you cheap asses (i own it and always will)!

  • 74 Likes and 0 dislikes not big suprise

  • @aetherdemon who ever dislikes this song dont know what their missing

  • @KenneWilleJ1102 Either that, or they're just plain fools. I'll be seeing this song played live... so excited. :D

  • true datttt

  • @KenneWilleJ1102 - a brain is what their missing.

  • @aetherdemon how to earth i cannot like this?

  • @aetherdemon 1 dislike xD wow

  • this will be my 3rd Rush concert and I KNOW it will be the best. Can't wait to hear this, one of Rush's best. The intro..... gets me every time. Honestly, I wish they continued with their more synthesized progressive epics.

  • Im gonna see them this Friday 13th!!!! OMG im so fucking excited, it will be the first time i see them!

  • sexiest bass tone in the history of ever from 9:07 to 9:52

  • @TheAnalogMan2112 the solo aint too bad either

  • i love the part near the end where alex lifesons guitar solo tone sounds almost like a violin. amazing song amazing band, amazing musicians.

  • ... to me the second best ever Rush cut just after Open Secrets!!! and Im saying TO ME! ok?

  • Great song!

    @alanboro : he burps at 8:45 , not 8:56. Lol

  • @890Killers

    Nope. Someone from the control room chimes in and says "hello", through Ged's headphones....he replies, "right, guv"...the kept it in. I've notice in my own clip of the end of the song from Jones Beach, after he sings "The focus is sharp in the city" he says "right guv".

    Its an inside joke that they seem to be fond of, as do Rush FREAKS like me, LOL!!!

    Next for me, PNC N.J., and Tampa!!!!

    I can't freakin' wait!!!

  • The solo on this song seals the deal for for me. Love this song!

  • This band Deserve the Rock'n'roll Hall of Fame....but it's under-rated!!!....this band is History!!!

  • The riff of this song -one of my favourite ones! Love it.

    Rush up to your ass from Finland!

  • 8:56 listen carefully

    geddy burps and says OH GOD

  • :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Seeing them TONIGHT!!!! woot!!! :D

  • @amyjo821 I'm seeing them at Summerfest! :D

  • I love this music, so wonderful while I'm listening to it to know the lyrics were written by an anti-slavery constructive achiever and deep thinker! The philosophy of Ayn Rand, Lysander Spooner and the other great abolitionist minds shines through!

  • OOOOOOOOOooooooohhhhhh yeah baby. ...from a leaden SKYYYYYYYYAAAAA, one of those little things in life that defy description , great tunage for the brainage.

  • Rush is good, but there was a period where they went synthesizer crazy. But, luckily, they sort of faded out of the synthesizer madness and went back to awesome guitar riffs. Which made Rush amazing once again.

  • @Rangerhalt1 Thats the beauty of Rush longevity. U can tune in and out depending on the direction they were taking at any one particular moment. I too was not as happy with the heavy synth stuff, but to each their own.

  • September 29th! Cant wait!!!

  • @RollTheBrains august 9th for me.

    california. hbu

  • @emobangs03 september 29th, atlanta

  • they gunna play this live 

  • totally jacked up to hear this song live. Natural Science is another one of those songs for me that just hits it.

  • Damn! I almost passed out! Killer head rush!

  • July 5th Chicago...Moving Pictures in it's entirity! CAN'T WAIT!

  • @alaskagrl37 I am gonna be at that same show at Charter One Pavillion. Besides Moving Pictures in its entirity, they are gonna do songs they have never played live!!!

  • gotta ADORE that into - my favourite intro to any track ever, Rush or otherwise - really sets the tone for the feel of the composition

  • blast this fucker and get lost for a while...Peart's lyrics save my life...jus bout every day !!!

  • song always makes my head and heart want to explode...

    we're so lucky they came along.

  • The great brilliant Ayn Rand influenced RUSH. She was a genius as are the 3 great Canadians.

  • God i love RUSH.

  • Probably my favorite track on the album. Thanks for uploading! :)

  • Scratch "Subdivisions", THIS is my Island Song !!!

  • im going to see the time machine tour july 21 at the sesquhana center

    The world wouldent be the same without RUSH

  • love it, love it, love it. greatest rush song ever by far my favorite.

    Rush Time Machine Tour 2010

    the focus is sharp, bugs.

    Nice clock, btw.

    What is "Should have taken an Exit Stage Left Turn at Albuquerque for a thousand, Alex?" past predicate participle?

  • this is one flows seamlessly. the music is crisp, the melody is there and the imagery is transient, never holding you to one thought. this is truly a moving

    picture !!!

  • toronto july 17... fuckin eh

  • Rush just announced the dates for THE TIME MACHINE TOUR. They'll be playing MOVING PICTURES in it's entirety!!!

  • i can't FUCKING WAIT TO HEAR THIS SONG ON TOUR!

  • That big chord at 1:21 makes you want to live forever!

  • I'm from Wichita, Ks and I saw Rush in concert back in '82 and they played this song. The twist to it was that they switched New York to Wichita in the song adding a personal touch for the audience.

  • this song it's so good

  • this is actually probably my favorite rush song. I used to think of it as I was biking home from school. "the focus is sharp in the city..."

  • i like this song doesnt matter the time is cool and rocker

  • thanks.

    if i could play that solo...well...

  • that solo is a trip and a half
