[@staciojeda4146]

The audience is singing their own "lyrics" to the instrumental that is being played. You know you have made it when the audience creates the singing part to your instrumental. Alex Lifeson is one of the greatest lead guitarists of all time and greatly underrated. Geddy Lee is the bassist and also plays keyboard and can play the keys (on the floor pedals while playing the base and singing), Neil Peart on drums ( sounds like EAR with a P and a T) is THE PROFESSOR (RIP). Go down this rabbit hole of 40 years of music.. you won't be disappointed and the Rush Army will show up in force if you do (your subs will definitely go up). They don't have any bad music though I'm partial to the 70's and early 80's. I can't even recommend the next listen for you as you can't make a bad choice, IMO. I do have my favorites (some of which you aren't ready for tho). :) They do more than one instrumental... yes.

[@bobespirit2112]

You won’t see too many Bass players that play it like a lead guitar the way that Geddy (like Teddy) Lee does. One of the most unique players in rock history. Alex’s guitar solo is fabulous and Neil Peart is the GOAT 🐐 on drums. The Holy Triumvirate.

[@andreshernandez1180]

Great reaction, guys. In my humble opinion these guys are the power trio GOATS. Most people would agree that Neil Peart is a top 2 - 3 drummer in rock history, as well. This is an amazing instrumental, but my favorite non lyrical from them is La Villa Strangiato. Give it a spin; I don't think you'll be disappointed! Cheers!

[@beech1120]

They were literally a 5 piece, 3 man band. Both Geddy and Alex had pedal synths on the floor so they could play keyboard backgrounds while their hands were occupied.

[@stevec5462]

Yes, the original from Moving Pictures is an instrumental. Bass player Geddy Lee is also the singer, along with key boards and foot pedals! Master class musicians!

[@BrindleChase]

Rush is from Canada and this song is called YYZ, which is the airport code for Toronto International Airport. It's an instrumental to emulate the hustle and bustle and craziness of a major airport all day long... if not to show off their superior musicianship!

I listened to 2112 so many times I wore out three albums, Rush fans know the lyrics, solos and song stories. Alex wrote this song after imitating call sign at Toronto’s airport on his guitar. It’s solo time!

[@NoahFroio]

As mentioned before, this song is a reference to Toronto Pearson International Airport (Y-Y-Zed) and according to Geddy Lee was a song about the struggles of leaving home for a tour, but the joy of the tour, and the gratefulness of returning to their home via YYZ, and getting a chance at normal life, for a brief period, before heading back out of YYZ, which is why the song is so up, down, up, deep down, and super up again.

Yes, this song is an instrumental. The crown was singing to an instrumental! Crazy, but that was the passion of the Brazilian crowd. Also, the title YYZ is the airport code where they’re from, Toronto. Even geekier is the beginning “dun-da-da-dun…” and so on is YYZ in Morse Code.

[@richardmodglin3900]

I saw RUSH play and the bass was so strong your whole body absorbs the thumping and vibration. Turns ya into a wet noodle after the show..... like you've been in a sauna. Outrageous performance! Great reaction!

[@marcsorensen1184]

Another crazy fact about that concert is that it rained before the show so they couldnt do a soundcheck. They got on stage and whatever worked..worked. It all worked fine but talk about stress for the crew. As for that amazing crowd..yeah they were just chanting the instrumental along with the band. Not sure Ive ever seen that energy at any concert like that...aside from other Rush concerts. Check out more Rush you will love them. Xanadu live from 1982 I think...Exit Stage Left concert...is mind blowing. For 3 guys to put out this level of music...and so much of it...is the magic that is Rush.

[@MS-jc9sy]

She got goosebumps! Ha! YYZ is the best jam session ever...turned into a song. Fun fact: YYZ is the airport code for Toronto (where they're from), and the meter (the pace) of the song, with its changes of tempo and time signature, was written in a way to emulate a typical day at the airport. Lots of rushing, waiting, things happening all around

[@lawrencebrush9305]

My neighbor in Brooklyn said he had seen zeppelin, pink Floyd and all the greats. When he saw Rushb in 2002 he said they were the best live band he had ever seen He bought me a copy Vapor Trails, there latest album at the time. I saw them on Moving Pictures in 81. Been a fan since 1980.

[@JeremyEllwood]

RIP Professor! Fun fact (though someone probably already pointed it out but just in case) - YYZ is the ICAO designation for Toronto airport. The riff you hear is the morse code for YYZ (-.-- -.-- --..) repeated. When they were flying home, Neil heard it repeating on the avionics. That's the birth of the song YYZ. Another fun fact... if you every want to hear the best (in my opinion) drum solo ever, listen to YYZ from their Show of Hands tour. Neil breaks into an amazing percussion solo that makes the drums sing.

[@ignaciogalvan1732]

Over the decades I saw them live 5 x😮😊 from a teenager I'm now 60 they were incredible!!!

[@krissanders987]

My brother whom is a guitarist, he graduated from a really good music college years ago. As part of their graduation assignments, they haft to team up and perform a very complex jam for Credit in front of a large crowd. He did YYZ from rush, and he said it was the hardest song to master out of everyone’s band pick. Me being a lifetime rush fan since around 8yo, I was excited as hell to him them jam it. They killed it and graduated and got their music degrees with all credits.

[@billwoods9302]

Rush had never played Brazil up to this point. So they set up three different shows in three different soccer stadiums near the end of the their band's career, and a whole nation of fans erupted. When they opened with Tom Sawyer, many in the audience were in tears.

[@paulcanbefoundhere]

It's really hard for people to hear this but these 3 are the greatest group of musicians ever assembled. It's hard.

Rush is my favorite band. What was great about them is that they were incredibly talented musicians but you never heard any drama from them. Each member had a role. Neil Peart (drummer) was the chief lyricist but Geddy (bass, keyboards, and vocals) would talk to Neil about the way the lyrics were written and let him know if he was not able to sing the was the lyrics were written. They were together for over 40 years and they truly loved one another, like brothers. From what I’ve read, after Neil passed away, not only did Alex (guitar) and Geddy decide to end the band but Alex has decided to never go on tour again.

[@debbieplato5107]

[@philstone3859]

2003, for some reason RUSH never went to South America when they toured. The fans down there in Brazil and Argentina put everyone else to shame. They are NUTS for Rock. A lot of bands didn’t make it down there until later in their careers. So these diehard fans had been literally waiting their whole lives to see their favorite bands live. 2003, this is what you are watching, RUSH for the very first time playing there. This is one of the few times an audience blew RUSH’s mind. Those people come from a soccer culture where they jump up and down and do soccer chants. They just transferred that energy to Rock. Now you know what RUSH is about live. Super clean, very Powerful live. Not to mention their high level musicianship and songwriting. FINALLY! The fans were beyond stoked for this to be happening! They were going to see RUSH live! You see the results. Thank goodness RUSH decided to film and record this landmark South American tour. The DVD they made with it is called RUSH in Rio and is one of the very best Rock live packages you can get. I’m fortunate enough to live in a city where RUSH was very well known and loved from the first album on. We are a RUSH stronghold and for other bands as well. So RUSH knew we were in from the very beginning. Came here on almost every tour, 95% of them I believe. They are one of those bands that you HAVE to see live! Just incredible in concert. I got to see them live on 18 tours over the decades. My city? San Antonio, TEXAS. The band loved our city beyond the shows and have said it many times. We were loyal to them and they were loyal to us. Just an incredibly great band! I’ll leave you with this. Do you like drums? There is a certain video that has been blowing minds all across the reaction channels. It’s Neil Peart drum solo- RUSH live in Frankfurt. He aways did a solo in concert. He writes most of the bands lyrics and is considered by many to be the best drummer in the world. The other 2 guys don’t suck either. Check it out and see if you can keep up. I guarantee you’ve never seen anything like this. Peace, Phil One more thing, I got to see him do this live many times!

[@colinwallace5286]

The whole band realized that the crowd was 100% with it when they started bouncing about 15 seconds in. They kept grinning at each other through the whole thing. Awesome choice!!

[@JPMadden]

If you want to be blown away by the sound these 3 guys can make, listen to "Xanadu" live from the 1981 "Exit Stage Left" tour. Drummer Neil Peart (AKA "The Professor") is playing bells, wooden blocks, chimes, triangles, and probably more instruments in addition to his enormous drum kit; guitarist Alex Lifeson is playing a 6-string guitar, a 12-string guitar, and sound-effect pedals on the floor; and bassist/singer Geddy Lee is playing a bass guitar, a 6-string guitar, sound-effect knobs, keyboards, and bass pedals on the floor when his hands are busy with the keyboards. It's like 3 one-man-bands playing the same song. Amazing! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKarhGCdn7KcjNk

Youte so lucky just starting on your beautiful Rush journey they are the GOAT guys enjoy every second.Like a fine wine or meal you need to slowly built up to the main course.I wouldnt even out YYZ in my top 10 of Rush tracks yet its still pretty amazing thats how high they have set the bar.Their top tier tracks will become evident with all the requests coming in but there are a few personal hidden gems I would recommend.Starting with the first album the three standout tracks are all brilliant and have bluesy rock vibes to them Working Man Before and After and especially the quite stunning Here Again Geddy produces one of his finest vocal performances and Neils silo is pure gold of of his best too.Such a great song and very different from what you would expect from Rush

[@johnseverance1947]

This is what sets great bands ahead of the pack. When you have top of the mountain musicians at each instrument and top of the mountain lyrics and a top of the mountain vocalist. Rush has all of that. Make no mistake Alex, Geddy and Neal are all top of the mountain instrumentalist. Neal might be the goat at drums and wrote all the lyrics. Geddy might be the Goat at bass and vocals and Alex is extremely underrated at Guitar. Put it all together ❤ top of the mountain band especially live. Love your reactions please keep it up.

[@charleswickner4807]

this song was brought to life in a jam session with Neil and Geddy. this was originally a bass and drum instrumental because Alex was doing some other things at the time. when he(Alex) got back into the studio he added his guitar to this absolute treasure and well.... you see the outcome. also the cymbol ride in the beginning of the song is the FAA sound beacon for the Toronto airport. Toronto is where they are from and everytime they play this song it reminds them of home! Awesomeness!!
