I've posted this before. In the words of Frank OZ, "Once you have mastered the technical you begin to move into the realm where what you do can become art." This man is one of the few drummers I've seen who is truly an artist. Did I mention he plays drums with two of my favorite bands.

I've always found it odd that someone as well read and literate as Peart is the member of the band that hates interviews. When all three of them are together he usually ends up doing most of the talking, and he does it so well as is evident in this video. He does seem to be coming out of his shel...

The Batoosi as Adam West called it.

Great job. Didn't think anyone would do this footage better than the folks who redid it to Outkast a few years back but I was wrong. Pat yourself on the back. I liked the handling of Lucy and Snoopy doing backing vocals in particular.

Love his comments about Toys vs. Tools. Sort of surprised me when he did, but then I realized that these very pointed and insightful comments were coming from a man who has seen the entire history of rock music and all of it's technologies happen around him.

Nice footage. Pity that Hackett wasn't on board for this performance. He was always more subtle than Sturmer.

@dlzaragoza or WHAT the lyrics were. I loved REM but Michael Stype could mumble with the best of them, especially during the first 4 albums. :-)

Saw them play a local club in 1982 in front of about 80 people. They were unknown and everyone was blown away by their energy. It was fun watching them evolve into a national act and never really lose their integrity. You will be missed guys. Look forward to the reunion concert in a few years.

Still one of the great punk-pop albums of all time.

Always loved this song. Great guitarwork from Lukather, not just the solos but hooks and all of it.

@Earthtime3978 I think the brainwashing is coming from the way the media, which is all owned by conservative corporations, seems to grope around this women who truly has nothing much intelligent to say about anything. I agree she is tough and powerful, but if she were non-traditional she would no...

Takes me back to freshman year of college in 1983 with my girlfriend Tara. To be young again.

Spectacular. Love that neck bend at the end.

Great footage. I was on I43 around Capitol Drive when this hit.

Great audience vocals, and of course, great guitar work by Matt and Steve.

This is a great song, but I can't say the same about BJ's hairdo.:-)

Thanks for posting this documentary from 1988. While not as flashy as the new US documentary "WSB-A Man Within" this series is first person while he was still alive and talks to Burroughs and his friends rather than about them. The recollections and conversations with him and Ginsberg make this p...

Thanks for posting this series. While not as flashy as the new US documentary "WSB-A Man Within" this series actually talks to Burroughs and his friends rather than about them. The recollections and conversations between him and Ginsberg alone make this priceless.

This is the only band I know where the keyboard player has to slow down because the drummer and bass player aren't fast enough......and they are two of the fastest players in the biz. This band was frickin amazing. Keith Emerson is a god.

@ShatteredWake654-.....taken from his MySpace page?! Definitely the chorus. That is fricking hysterical. It's still a great little song. I'm guessing Levi did nothing for the melody or phrasing. :-)

Is it me or does the first part of this interview apply to TV, Movies, Music, and every other form of media requiring corporate oversight? Why do they bleep out "masturbation" and "wet stuff" at the end of this video? :-)

Great visuals on this one Paul. Love the "Clown Cloud" at the beginning.

Very nice Paul.

There is a similar arrangement for this song that was done for an album back in 1997 called "Lounge-A Palooza". Anyone who likes this version might want to check that album out as well. Anka pretty much stole the opening arrangement from that recording which featured Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorm...

They are burning clothes that were left in the Repo cars.

It's sort of odd seeing Buddy Rich atop a list mostly made up of hair metal hacks. Thanks for the footage of him anyway. I'll add my own names of people who blow most of your choices off the stage. Bill Bruford, Carl Palmer, Steve Smith, Gavin Harrison, Terry Bozzio, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, and...

I love Zappa's sound effects. He is the only person who can get away doing this stuff and we love him for it. Zappa was the mad genius of rock and roll.

I love this band. Their precision is a thing of beauty.

I've had the honor of seeing Gabriel, as a solo act, 3 times and each concert, even the scaled back WOMAD show was at least a few years ahead of everyone else for stage concept. He is truly one of the great artists of the era as well as being a motivator for social change. He's one of the few tha...

Steve Smith was in Journey because bands like that pay the bills.

You can't eat respect. Journey was stepping stone to allow him to do what he is doing now, his art. Call it a working lottery ticket that also gave him exposure and connections.

Before you can truly achieve art you must first master the technical aspects of your discipline so that they do not inhibit you. This video shows just what an artist Steve Smith is. Steve Smith is one the 5 best drummers in the world because while other drummers may have their moments in the kit ...

Two phenomenal players playing phenomenal music. Thanks for posting this
