Easily one of their top 10 songs. Anyone who doesn't think so is living in a black hole! :)

I can`t understand why are you wasting your life by trying to slay Rush. I`ve seen comments of yours in another video. What did they do to you, apart from creating good music and being a positive influence throughout the years ?

LOL. I was at this concert and I just now find it on YouTube?!? What is my problem?!

@LAMB0Fg0d420 It's a Farewell song. Go listen to the complete version, you'll love the difference. This is still my #1.

@JimHarmatz I love this, because it's just simply amazing. As a massive Rush fan, I read comments like these, and automatically think the person is uneducated. Rush makes intelligent music for intelligent people. This music might not be your thing, but to call it crap, is just plain stupid on your part. Now go listen to some AC/DC, or Rolling Stones, or whatever generic stripped down "rock" you people listen to.

I love how Alex's guitar in the intro goes from a sound effect into a riff. The guy just owns on guitar. Geddy should've brought out his Ric for this tune, though, gotta have that clanky metal tone for a song this heavy. Love it.

I've seen a lot of live versions of this song (or this part anyway) ... think this one might be close to the best, there's an extra metallic sort of twang to Lifeson's stuff, gives it a real crunch. This is so much heavier than the original, not surprising given that was 1977 I suppose, but god it sounds good!



Why can't I find a full live video of this song on the internet!?

@Bakazuraz Probably because no known video exists of them playing the entire thing. ;) No, but seriously, this is all they played of it on the Vapor Trails tour (they then segue into Working Man). They played it in its entirety only on both the A Farewell to Kings tour and the Hemispheres tour, and sadly, I don't know of any videos from either of these tours. :( Hopefully one will surface someday!
