Jethro Tull is the best live band!

PS - Seeing that "SARStock Concert" clip reminds me of a story Neil Peart wrote in one of his books about meeting the Stones' legendary drummer, Charlie Watts, that day. Here's a story about it from the "Ultimate Classic Rock" web site: WHEN CHARLIE WATTS SURPRISED NEIL PEART BACKSTAGE Corey Irwin Published: August 25, 2021 In 2003, Neil Peart came face-to-face with one of his idols, the Rolling Stones’ Charlie Watts. At first, the Rush drummer didn’t realize who was approaching him. “A short, older man stepped up to me, sticking out his hand and saying something I couldn't hear,” Peart recalled in his book Traveling Music : The Soundtrack to My Life and Times. “Thinking ‘Now who's this?’ I took out one of my ear monitors and said ‘Sorry, I couldn't hear you.’ He spoke again, smiling, ‘Hello, I'm Charlie Watts.’" On July 30, 2003, the Rolling Stones were headlining Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto, a benefit concert aimed at helping the city’s economy recover following a SARS outbreak earlier that year. More than 400,000 people turned out to see the Stones, as well as the Guess Who, Rush and AC/DC. Though they were on the same lineup, Peart was still caught off guard when Watts surprised him backstage. “‘Oh!’ I said, taken aback, ‘Hello.’ And I shook his hand,” the Rush recalled. “He asked if we were going on soon, and I said yes, any minute, and he said, with a twinkle, ‘I'm going to watch you!’” Peart went on to admit that such a comment could have messed with his head, had he not already been restless prior to the performance. “I suppose if I could have felt more pressured, that might have done it, but I was already at maximum intensity," he explained. "There was no time to think of Charlie Watts and the Rolling Stones, watching them on The T.A.M.I Show or Ed Sullivan when I was twelve-and-a-half, hearing 'Satisfaction' snarling down the midway at Lakeside Park, 'Gimme Shelter' at the cinema in London, listening to Charlie's beautiful solo album, Warm and Tender, so many times late at night in Quebec, or any of the other million times Charlie Watts and his band had been part of my life.” As Rush took the stage and began their set, Peart did his best to ignore the “gray-haired Englishman at stage left.” Later, when his band played a brief instrumental version of “Paint it Black,” Peart again thought of Watts, but deduced that the Stones drummer “seemed to have left by then - having seen and heard enough, no doubt, whatever his impression was.” Several technical difficulties would mar Rush’s performance during the benefit event. Later, Geddy Lee would recount the most memorable part of the night in an email to Peart. "BTW, I will never forget that moment before we went onstage when Charlie Watts came over to shake your hand (at the worst possible moment!),” Lee wrote, “and watching your face go through all the motions of... a. who is this old guy? b. what does he want? c. oh for god's sake it's Charlie Watts!"

The third video was recorded in Toronto in 2003 [not 2023] at a massive suburban park made out of a (then) recently decommissioned air force base. Here's the back-story: Before there was SARS-COVID-2, there was SARS-COVID-1. Both illnesses came from China without warning (thanks to Chinese communist bureaucracy). The first one was more deadly but not nearly as transmissible as the one we all just suffered through from 2020 onwards. One of the places SARS-COVID-I struck was Toronto. Its tourism industry was decimated by a WHO declaration in the Spring of 2023 and so some local politicians and business people decided to hold a concert to attract people back to the city and celebrate the medical responders' work. The Rolling Stones have a very long and strong relationship with the City of Toronto, which they frequently used as a rehearsal location for world tours. They were happy to pitch in, when asked, and brought AC/DC along with them, since the two bands were touring at the time. The concert soon morphed into a day-long event featuring many other bands. Canadian Comedy legend Dan Akroyd agreed to host (and played a few songs with his old Blues Brothers Movie band). The finishing touch for the lineup was Toronto's own Rush. The estimated crowd size was between 450,000 and 500,000. And I was one of them! It would be the first and only time I would see either the Stones or AC/DC, but not Rush. I saw them a lot more than once between 1984 and 2015. Fun fact: that wasn't the largest crowd to assemble at Downsview Park (which has since been further developed). No, the "act" that drew the highest attendance (estimated at upwards of 750,000) was none other than Pope John Paul II!

That second video was the beginning of the R30 Concert, recorded in Frankfurt. It's a six-part medley leading into The Spirit of Radio. Each of the six parts represented a song from each of their first six albums: 1. Finding My Way (from Rush, 1974) 2. Anthem (Fly by Night, 1975) 3. Bastille Day (Caress of Steel, 1975) 4. A Passage to Bangkok (2112, 1976) 5. Cygnus X-1, Book One: The Voyage (A Farewell to Kings, 1977) 6. Cygnus X-1, Book Two: Hemispheres (Hemispheres, 1978) The Spirit of Radio was the lead track on 1979's Permanent Waves. This is what a band with (by then) 16 studio albums has to do to include something for everyone! I saw the same concert in Toronto.

Speaking of Tenacious D, Jack Black is a huge Rush fan.😊

Greetings from Canada. I've been a fan since 1968 and still don't know- or care- about the lyrics,,, it's the emotions that Ian is going for here. Peace, love and bellbottoms.

Marko Hietala - Bass, vocals Tuomas Wäinölä - guitar + producer Vili Ollila - Keys Anssi Nykänen - drums The exact same band as on Marko's first solo album, Pyre of the Black Heart, 5 years ago. There is both a Finnish and an English language version of the album. As far as I know the main writer, music and lyrics, of this song is Marko, propably with some assistance from others. I once read that Tuomas has played over 4 000 gigs. If a TV show in Finland needs a guitarist for the house band, many times they ask Tuomas. The drummer Anssi has played on thousands of tracks in studio. Last aitumn Marko, Tuomas and Anneke van Giersbergen from The Netherlands, toured South America as an acoustic trio, one month 20 concerts. They all played acoustic guitar, Marko and Anneke sang lead vocals, Tuomas backing vocals. Anneke and Marko had their own sets, and a 3rd set together.

coulda try sing it all but i have neighbours :(

As a Pink Floyd and an even bigger Nightwish fan and I totally love their take on this song, even David Gilmour highly approved.

Congratulations. You're the first reactor (and I've seen about 50 react to this song) that realized the hand thing represented talking too much, as in radio station DJ's talking more than playing music. Everything Rush does is for a meaningful reason

Rush! GOAT!

3 for 1 🎉❤🇨🇦

Like your Channel Name...................Been going down the rabbit whole since 1979,,,,,,,,,,,,,,When i heard 'TIME' for the the first time. Keep reacting and I'll feed you Juicy recordings on Pink Floyd that will blow your mind in a nice way . Such as.......................The name Pink Floyd comes from the given names of two prominent blues musicians, who Sid Barrett loved: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

Best band...ever.

The hand thing relates to geddy doing that live in concert to get people to clap their hands during that part. It basically represents clapping hands. Later on as they got older, half the audience would be doing the same motion rather than clapping The second song I think was 2004 from their 30th anniversary. So the medley was songs from their first set of albums before ending with spirit of radio. Last song was from a big concert in Toronto to help raise money for SARS relief as that disease hit Canada pretty bad. The Rolling Stones were the headliners I believe so a lot of bands did brief tributes to them hence the paint it black.

The first live clip you saw was from the R30 Tour video, filmed in Frankfurt, Germany, in 2004. The intro consists of the following song clips from their first six albums: Finding My Way (Rush) Anthem (Fly By Night) Bastille Day (Caress Of Steel) A Passage To Bangkok (2112) Cygnus X-1 Book 1: The Voyage (A Farewell To Kings) Cygnus X-1 Book 2: Hemispheres Prelude (Hemispheres) The second live clip you saw was from a benefit concert organized by The Rolling Stones in support of Toronto's tourism industry after the first SARS outbreak, hence the section from Paint It Black that you heard at the beginning. For another highlight from the R30 Tour, I'd like to recommend Mystic Rhythms off their 1985 album Power Windows, an example of their mid 1980s sound. Cheers from Toronto! 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🐐 🐐 🐐

Mic so close and I still can't hear you. Check out the balance.

Thanks, I would suggest the studio recordings. It's a Blues for God Live back then Tull was pretty ragged, but entertaining. Ian was only on flute for less than 2 years and pretty bad actually. just very entertaining. Ian's last album from 2023 is excellent. They were playing for 200,000 at a festival and were pumped

Live from the MSG (1973) Stairway to heaven and Since Ive been loving you are great live

David Gilmour has heard and seen this version and he praised it was the best tribute/cover he has seen from this song!

Low IQ clown.

israel has occupied and massacred Palestinians for 75 years so no it was never abous h*mas nor the hostages. And gen*c*de is never justifiable no matter what. Also had israel wanted the israeli hostages would have been home months ago with ceasefire deal but they have refused because they would rather m*rder Palestinians than save their own people. Also what about the 10 000 Palestinians that are hostages in israel prisons being tortured and r*ped? Is that also self-defence?

Marko is a god. ❤

🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done

Greetings from Finland 🤘🤘

You should consider listening to Nightwish with Floor. You may miss Tarja, which is understandable, but Floor can sing all the songs written for Tarja and Anette with her own enhancements. Anything from the Wacken 2013 concert is amazing. Many start with Ghost Love score.

I saw PF play High Hopes live, and listened to it frequently, when the album came out. I love Marko's singing, and how well Nightwish has created a tribute to the original Pink Floyd song.

Some ask who was/is your favourite Nightwish singer - some answer MARKO!!! Marko often sang covers while Tarja was changing costumes - Black Sabbath, Megadeth...... always great!

❤❤❤Robert ❤❤❤

Ooohh jimmy❤

There is no need for Tarja when Marko sings. He is a great singer, too. I just love this tribute to Pink Floyd.

When Marko is singing there is no need for any female back up singers 🤩

As a long life fan of Pink Floyd, (69 y old Dutchy) and have seen them several times. Also a massove Nightwish fan. This is the ultimate tribute from an excelent band to an exceptional band.

Greetings from UK I love this tribute, I think that the guys did a fantastic job Nice reaction 😊

Tarja Turnunen 1996 - 2005 , Anette Olzen 2007 - 2012, Floor Jansen 2012 - current

The dummer Jukka was in terrible pain in this song but he was true fighter

Just before Tarja left: she had a costume brake.

Thanks for checking out my favorite band since 1969 ❤ You picked my favorite song 🎵 😊

nije los band al ono, goran karan je bolji

Well after New York, they knew the problems with sit down. There was simply not enough room zo really sit and if some people would sit down how would Yog get them up.later? So it was decided that gez low would be more helpful, let the peoplecbehind you see what is happening on stage.

Nice share😊

The original dream sequence in the movie is better than the one they used here. Had psychedelic elements.

Rename yourself Led Zeppelin
