FIRST REACTION! Rush | Best Intro Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@patcandelora8496]

I’ve seen these guys live over 30 times since 1980 and I’m telling you there is nothing like seeing them live. A true spectacle! R.I.P. professor

[@Bklynreau]

yea i can feel the vibe just watching

[@k_spats]

I think you'll appreciate this newly released cut: 💥THE GIRL WHO LISTENED TO RUSH💥 From the back of the stadium She’s easy to see Standing up at the stage In her Starman tee From Anthem to Limelight To YYZ She’s the girl who listened to Rush And all of the rockers And all of the heshers Well they dreamed of the day That they might get her And drive her away In a Red Barchetta She’s the girl who listened to Rush Philosophers and ploughmen They can’t resist her call They cannot choose Not to decide So they've got no choice at all They've gotta love her No she doesn’t say "Pert" And she doesn’t say "Part" Yeah, she knows it’s "Neil Peert" ‘Cause he’s close to her heart Say a prayer for John Rutsey He was there at the start She’s the girl who listened to Rush Philosophers and ploughmen They can’t resist her call They cannot choose Not to decide So they've got no choice at all They've gotta love her Why don’t girls ever listen to Rush? (X a lot) But she listened to Rush! The blacksmith and the artist They can’t resist her call You cannot choose Not to decide So you’ve got no choice at all No you’ve got no choice at all You’ve gotta love her - Nerd Herder 💜💫✌🏼🎵 #RushForever #RushOn #RushRules

[@jackteppo9633]

Wish I'd been as blessed. I saw Counterparts, Presto and Live in Cleveland. All da Bomb shows.

[@dalemartell8639]

Love it, "pure talent", great quote. Greatest Band of all time, RIP Professor.

[@BigTroyT]

If you want to have your mind ABSOLUTELY BLOWN, watch Rush's live version of Xanadu. Everyone is playing multiple intruments, with Alex playing 6 and 12-string electric guitar and bass pedals, Neil playing the drum kit and a FULL compliment of orchestral percussion (using EVERY piece!), and Geddy playing bass, 6-string guitar, synths, bass pedals, AND singing! These guys took this song out on the road and had to perform this 15-minute long song perfectly, night after night after night - and they did it! No MIDI, no backing tracks, no off-stage musicians, just 3 guys playing all those instruments in a very complex song, and doing it masterfully. Until you see it, you'd swear it was impossible. Pay close attention to them switching guitar necks and playing Moog Taurus pedals with their feet, as well as Neil working all the percussion, switching sticks and mallets along the way. It's simply unreal. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKarhGCdn7KcjNk

[@Bklynreau]

thank u brother

[@lindaward5376]

This intro was created as a means of featuring songs that they were no longer performing, either because they couldn't fit them into their set list, or because Geddy could no longer hit some of the high notes they required. And now, for another hot performance, I recommend Working Man live in Cleveland from their 2011 Time Machine Tour. 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@Bklynreau]

we gonna watch it all

[@StoneShards]

It'll be a hundered years before talent like this returns to Earth! Why? Because it takes hard work and dedication to adequately express such talent, and nobody wants to work anymore! Ahead of us we've got a hundred years of crap to slog through...before glory days can return.

[@richnibbler7731]

Saw every tour since 82. Never be a greater band ever. So blessed! RIP PROFESSOR

[@Bklynreau]

im glad u havent miss one

[@GregSmith-fh6xh]

This intro is very clever, it is part of a song from each of their first six albums in succession going into Spirit of the radio which is on their 7th album.

[@debbieplato5107]

Love your reactions! As one other person said the intro was five of their earlier songs and would be good to check out. Yes Geddy was playing bass and the synth pedals at the same time. He will do both and sing at the same time as well. Glad you are enjoying my favourite band. Cheers

[@Bklynreau]

haha thanks brother ohh im def enjoying cheers

[@aldobarovero2807]

My man. I loved your reaction. Jerry Stiller (real father of Ben Stiller), was on King of Queens and played George's father on Seinfeld. Rush stopped touring in 2015 and I'm happy to say that I was able to see them live 25 times. Peace.

[@Bklynreau]

thank u! i wish i knew about them to see them once lol

[@gold98gtp]

The actual title of this is R30 Overture, from their 30th anniv tour. And, Jerry Stiller was George's dad.

[@Bklynreau]

he was funny

[@derrickparran]

Tightest Band That Ever Was.

[@ronniefarnsworth6465]

I'm sure many have told you but if not these are the many Riffs & Grooves of "Some" of their Top songs !! 🎶

[@Bklynreau]

yea they told me sooo good

[@calvingreen5202]

Yo BReau...I love your reactions!! This is a compilation of five intros, in succession, leading into Spirit of Radio. First..Anthem, Second..Bastille Day, Third, Passage to Bangkok, Fourth...Cygnus X-1:Book 1, Fifth...Cygnus X-1:Book 2. You should check out all of these songs, in full, to get a better understanding of what Rush is all about.

[@Bklynreau]

😂😂 now that makes sense thank u again lol

[@Shigawire]

@@Bklynreau Yep it's basically whatchamacallit ... a "medley" - except it's the intro :D

[@niged]

Yep. Opening track to a 3 hour show. Awesome

[@PaulHilburger]

Boy I miss these guys

[@snowdog5895]

Now that is how you start a three hour show! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

[@Bklynreau]

yeppp😂😂

[@zerglilngvet5428]

best band

[@Steve_Blackwood]

Yes! Jerry Stiller, also known as Arthur on King of Queens. 😂

[@viking_nor]

He plays the exact same role in Seinfeld

[@Bklynreau]

there we goo 😂😂😂 i lost my mind when i saw him up there

[@Bklynreau]

yea lol

[@timdaly5831]

This was a medley of songs to open their R30 tour.

[@Bklynreau]

ohhhh

[@dougarnold9337]

My favourite line from The Spirit of Radio is: "But glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity". Neil Peart was such a gifted lyricist. RIP Neil.

[@markbrosius6218]

Dang brother I so enjoyed watching you with this song by Rush. Not sure if you just discovered rush or this song. My friend if this is the first song of theirs you have heard I would live to kick it with you and some Rush. I tell ya it brings back so many memories bro when I hear them and a few others it transports me to some of the most life changing and imprinting times and events of my life. Loved seeing someone e joy the music. Love and peace my friend. Keep listing. There's so much more to come.

[@Bklynreau]

yea just discovered them great music always gives us great memories!! much love brother

[@liftedguy]

Welcome to the Rush rabbit hole. I've been here for years, brought furniture etc, and settled in.

[@Bklynreau]

lmao thank u

[@charlalondon3057]

Now, watch them live in their younger days. YYZ, Live in Rio. My all time favourite. Watch the audience sing it back to them. This song has no lyrics!

[@Bklynreau]

i def will!

[@claverhouse1]

Rio is hardly "their younger days" , it was only 9 years before this. Their younger days were the 1970s.

[@gold98gtp]

@@claverhouse1 Rio was 2002, R30 was 2004 - 2 years

[@evanswendy9773]

Yes! Jerry Stillers dad was a RUSH fan! This intro features songs from their first 7 albums! Why? Because it was their 30th anniversary tour!

[@japp333]

Loved your reaction when you realized that Geddy Lee was playing keyboards with his feet. You were priceless in that reaction. The same reaction I see from everyone else when I show them all he does while playing.

[@Bklynreau]

yea it caught me off guard

[@lynngreco6304]

That's Geddy Lee on Bass, Synthisizers and Vocals. And yes that's his real voice. Speaking and singing. Alex Lifeson on the other guitar. And of course the Professor himself, Neil Peart on Drums. Neil Peart wrote most of the songs for the band over the years. RIP Professor

[@Shigawire]

Awesome reaction man :D I've only seen them live 2 times in my life. cheers from Norway

[@Bklynreau]

cheers thank u

[@goldenruletv7301]

I saw Rush three times....three different eras. R.I.P. Professor...I miss that dude.

[@Bklynreau]

yea hes amazing

[@Buds1own]

Hot band!!! ALWAYS HAVE BEEN!! ♥ Jesus ♥

[@Gary-zq9dr]

Next... "Working Man Live in Cleveland" and "YYZ Live in Rio"

[@Bklynreau]

on it

[@RelaxingPeacefulMusicChannel]

Best watching them Live back in the day. Lots of fun

[@RelaxingPeacefulMusicChannel]

This intro has snippets of a lot of their songs mashed together.

[@carlbusque1856]

They are covering 7 albums with this song. More Rush please!

[@deanskipit8220]

Geddy Lee bassist, Alex lifeson guitarist, Neal peart drums

[@k_spats]

Neil 😉

[@mattycobby27]

Goosebumps everytime !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bobhope3716]

Saw Rush 18 times ! More Rush ! Try the song Freewill from Montreal ,1981 !

[@Bklynreau]

will do!

[@joenewman6939]

That was ben stiller,s dad the actor he played in king of queen's and synfield he was carry,s dad on king of queen's and George,s dad on synfield

[@Bklynreau]

yea thats my guy

[@sid7088]

They're the greatest.

[@RelaxingPeacefulMusicChannel]

Spirit of The Radio Gives always me chills at the end.

[@Bklynreau]

i gotta react to the whole song

[@paulgale2565]

Make sure you watch the Professor 's drum solo from Frankfurt Germany, if you want to be amazed. Search it, worth your time for sure my friend.

[@Bklynreau]

thanks

[@SG-le7lq]

Enjoy the ride, Rush are amazing, a genuine one off, never been anything like them before and there will never be anything like them again. Just sorry that new fans like yourself can never see them live. Saw them first in 1979, Manchester Apollo theatre England, it rocked my world. Ruined all other bands concerts for me because that concert was a kind of out pf body experience. Welcome to our world, take care and relish your Rush journey

[@markotto9855]

Just so much fun! Best band ever in my opinion. Welcome to the family man!

[@Bklynreau]

The best!

[@ritchmoore1442]

This was Killer!!!

[@jewel_laughs]

Warning: Impending addiction! I'm with you. 💕

[@Bklynreau]

😂😂😂 thank u

[@joenewman6939]

You are awesome great reaction

[@Bklynreau]

Thank you so much 😁

[@marklittle8805]

"He's playing that shit with his foot?" Yes....yes he is. Geddy could play bass, trigger keyboard parts and sing.. you want a big sound with three guys you have to multi task. Alex added keyboard bits with his feet as well on some songs. These were three very busy guys for two to three hours ..

[@stephenslade1639]

plus Neil would trigger tracks with his feet and Alex would cover some bass line with pedals when Geddy was too busy doing something else. Also Lerxst and Geddy could chat whilst playing because they were soul mates and had been togtehr since highschool. A massive bond between these two.

[@paulmorris8762]

The song is called Spirit of Radio - best intro refers to the musical prelude (iintro)

[@iamhayes9317]

Nice comments thanks for the open mind!

[@Bklynreau]

u welcome

[@jamesbielaga8488]

Jerry Stiller does another intro for band for time machine tour. You have to see it..its hilarious and unexpected he is rockin.

[@PromLesbian]

Watch RUSH's Documentary - Beyond the Lighted Stage. It will give you insight into how they became RUSH.

[@lawrencekneitel6098]

Agreed.

[@Bklynreau]

cool thank u

[@R777-RLM]

Great reaction. The into, was a montage of several different songs, leading to the full song "Spirit of Radio."

[@Bklynreau]

thank u

[@philphillips3875]

I hope you truly enjoyed this! these 3 guys are phenomenal!

[@Bklynreau]

def did!

[@bigtech7382]

Glad you liked it. I liked since watching at cobo detriot 1977

[@DilganURikisNuni]

If you read into the lyrics, the intro seems like they were simulating changing the channels on the radio and finding that ONE song you stopped to listen to. Just like the song says....

[@toddashton9696]

great reaction. That was a marathon

[@Bklynreau]

thx bro

The trifecta of all things music.

[@michaeljones6948]

Nice one mate 👍

[@Bklynreau]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@thatsnice99]

This intro is fantastic because the original songs were very tinny (except for Anthem) and Rush gave all of them new life with a newer, heavier VASTLY improved sound. Btw.. you have a great voice. You definitely have a future…

[@Bklynreau]

so far rush has been amazing for me! oh really? wow thank u!!! needed to hear that

[@sealiferr]

Be careful…once you go down the Rush rabbit hole you might not make it back out. Then again who would want to!
