First Time Hearing | RUSH - Best Intro Ever

[@lisaharrison1031]

That’s MY BAND!!! Best group that ever graced the stage. Glad to see they’re getting new fans. We call ourselves the “RUSH FAMILY & we are always happy to have new family members Welcome RUSH brother!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@jimtatro6550]

This medley is made up of parts of 6 songs and then The Spirit of Radio. The songs are Finding my Way, Anthem, Bastille Day, A Passage to Bangkok, Cygnus X1 and Cygnus X1 Part 2: Hemispheres. Check out Headlong Flight from the final album Clockwork Angels.

[@aspackblaze3583]

I agree... Headlong Flight is a total banger. Of course live is always best with Rush

[@ryangrissom7476]

All of those songs are worth their own reaction video

[@douglondoner7360]

hahahahha, only 6? sounds like the jams from every song on 6 albums!

[@JoeWilger]

Looking deeper: 1. Fly by Night - first song on 1st album 2. Anthem - first song on 2nd album 3. Bastille Day - first song on 3rd album 4. Passage to Bangkok - first song on 4th album, Side 2 5. Cygnus part 1 - last song on 5th album, last song, side 2 6. Cygnus part 2 - first song on 6th album 7. Spirit of Radio - first song on 7th album In other words, they covered their first 6 albums- playing 1 minute of each song (total of 6 minutes). Then led off with the first song of their 7th album to start the concert.

[@clockworkangel4026]

It's a medley consisting of one song from each of their first 6 albums that flows into Spirit of Radio from their 7th. They have to condense things down where they can to fit in all the hits,fan favorites & new material. I mean, the show only last for about 3 hours, after all. 🤣🤣

[@jaywitt5171]

Another great Rush reaction, Munroe! We all think it's time for Xanadu Exit Stage Left. Try and find the version with lyrics so you can understand the story Neil created from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1797 poem, Kubla Khan. We are ready and waiting!

[@bryanhaynes6742]

I loved your reaction. I'm a Rush fan for 40 plus years and you totally get it. I do tons of Rush reaction videos and I'm so glad that so many younger generations see the brilliance that they bring to the table. Keep it up.

[@rush119]

Geddy is playing keyboard with his foot:)

[@wendylynn7117]

Its absolutely amazing thanku so much love your beautiful energy marcus, thanku so much love and God bless always x

[@renemercado8618]

Ah, my man said he loves the WOW WOWs. Great reaction M. RUSH out. Take care.

[@michaelmorris8051]

Wow Wows are also called "Cry Baby's"

[@justsmashing4628]

Greatest 3 piece rock band in history…over.

[@sandrasimpson9673]

Wonderful..awesome reaction!! Workingman Live in Cleveland is going to blow you away again🇨🇦❤️❤️😁

[@Gregory7518]

Yes, it's a medley of several songs. "How many drums does my man have back there?" He's got all the drums. :) As someone familiar with the drums, you NEED to see Niel's solo from Frankfurt!

[@debbieplato5107]

Xanadu and Red Barchetta from Exit Stage Left I would suggest for your next reactions. Yes, they absolutely killed it here!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@ritchmoore1442]

Great reaction!

[@walterharris3261]

It's hilarious watching y'all react to real music. I'm a drummer and can't handle computer drums. They drive me crazy. Thanks brother man.

[@jenniferandrews1917]

This is a “mash-up” of about 6 or 7 of their songs. Kinda like a summary of themselves or, if you will, a great way to warm up or introduce yourselves. 😉

[@rhondafonda957]

You’ve got to react to Xanadu Exit Stage Left tour 1981. It’s amazing!! Great reaction!! Love RUSH!! 🤘🤘

[@bambam4274]

How many Drums does he have back there? ALL OF THEM. But seriously, Neil Peart (pronounced peert) is your favorite drummer's FAVORITE Drummer! During the intro, the keyboard section was played by the Bass player with his feet. Geddy is freaking unreal.

[@Bill123058]

was lucky enough to see them perform this "intro" in Tampa. was my 4th Rush show

[@anthonypeterson5408]

Makes the heart feel good when I see so many people having an open mind around Rush and truly appreciating how amazing they were. Only 3 dudes . Remember that .

[@lindaward5376]

The last two song segments they do before The sprit Of Radio are from Cygnus X-1 Book 1: The Voyage and Book 2: Hemispheres; if you'd like to see both parts in their entirety, I recommend the comic book videos, which include the lyrics, adding up to a total of 30+ minutes that will completely blow your mind!!! 🎤 🎸 🥁 🎸 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@dianaa9826]

Master musicians! RUSH forever!!!!!!!

[@michaelmorris8051]

I love watching you sir! As a 48 year fan it warms my heart to see another generation appreciating and recognizing perfection...

[@bobhope3716]

Saw Rush 18 times ! Try the song Freewill from the Exit Stage Left concert next ! Glad you're discovering Rush . They're one of the greatest 2 or 3 rock bands ever.

[@zerglilngvet5428]

its like more or less 7 songs parts

[@clemigula4228]

Love watching your discovery of RUSH!!! There is a great documentary about them called Beyond The Lighted Stage. I believe Netflix still has it. You should watch that, I think it will only make you love them even more! I promise.

[@rokkkrinn2793]

I saw them on this tour in Phoenix. Totally awesome!

[@michaelmorris8051]

Geddy plays bass guitar, foot pedal keyboards, sings AND moves the microphone with his nose SIMULTANEOUSLY!!

[@AlexRubbo]

The Garden live...Their last song on their last album. Sadly 'the Professor ' Neil peart died from cancer a couple of years back. This is a true swansong. Great reactions btw.

[@mikemcilroy4995]

The 7:15 of intro was a medley of favourites that the band couldn't fit into a show that was already almost 3 hours long.

[@compnnburns8831]

the holy trinity in their full glory - respect

[@mylesdevine9513]

Also have to check out Red Barchetta, live in Cleveland!!!!!!!! Amazing

[@michaelmorris8051]

That was the OPENING of the show...

[@Timmy63]

Lavilla strangiato, force 10 and all album, Xanadu, 2112, temples of syrinx.

[@mylesdevine9513]

So awesome!!!!!!! Love your Rush reactions bro!!!!!!!!! Check out “Leave that thing alone”, live in Cleveland!!!!!! Also Neil Peart live in Frankfurt!!!!!! Amazing drum solo!!!!!! Keep them coming bro!!!! More wow wows. Lol. Awesome. 🇨🇦

[@princeofpcos9804]

Just 3 guys

[@montbob100]

I saw them do this live on r30.

[@jhc2093]

That first instrumental part is a medley of one song from each of their first six records and culminates with the final full song of the Spirit Of Radio from their seventh release, Permanent Waves. The whole thing is a banger!

[@aland4092]

As many as he needs my friend. As many as he needs.

[@robwhitmer5294]

Welcome to the world of RUSH.

[@jackteppo9633]

Great reaction!! Justvwant to see the show better. Its shadowed

[@greedynewt6149]

Great reaction and nice dance...lol

[@michaelmorris8051]

Neil piays EVERY instrument in his kit. Nothing is for show. Every tool utilized.

[@joetrainer31]

multiple songs

[@jasona5806]

RIP Neil

[@douglondoner7360]

hahahahha, only 6? sounds like the jams from every song on 6 albums!

[@jackteppo9633]

Neil does many stick tricks. You have to have been their. JS

[@standing0]

Q: How many drums does he have back there? A: All of them.

[@montbob100]

The necromancer

[@anthonypeterson5408]

This is a melody of a bunch a songs

[@davidmonk4814]

Songs that Geddy might have a little trouble singing some parts

[@thatsnice99]

Great reaction Greatness intro into their best song. RUSH fans HATE when Rush does this because RUSH fans DEMAND the ENTIRE song be played EVERY time…..a good example of this pomposity is when someone reacts to 2112 in RIO; which is Rush best performance of a song EVER…

[@nattijeff]

I know what you are saying so please stop asking me.

[@surfeit5910]

You can tell reactors are faking it when you give them a song that should make no sense and they pretend to like it. Unless you're hardcore enough to know every deep-dive classic Rush song this medley has, its appreciation value should be entirely lost to you. This song wasn't meant as an introduction to Rush song, it was meant as a nod to the already die-hard fans.

[@kylelooper2156]

Not sure that this is fair. One can appreciate Rush's musicianship without being familiar with the sings themselves.

[@akaEageralto]

I'm a huge fan of Rush. Been listening since 1980. So you're saying that I can't like the snippets of Cygnus X-1 in the intro because I've never actually heard it prior to seeing it performed at this concert? After watching this reaction and reading the comments, this is literally the first time I've understood that the minute or so preceding "The Spirit of Radio" was from Cygnus X-1. It's definitely Rush, though, and so I don't need to "pretend to like it." I think it's fantastic for the same reasons I think other Rush music is fantastic: the songwriting is complex, the performances are impeccable, and Rush masters, like few others, the art of being surprising while simultaneously being as familiar as a best friend.
