Mike & Alice react to Rush The Trees live from exit stsge left tour

[@markman5332]

Wow, Alice looks like she would rather be at the dentist.

[@keefmack]

I hope Alice was able to follow along with the lyrics as they are essential to completely enjoying this masterpiece of music.

[@johnlohman8311]

LOL she is like like why the F do i have to listing to this, little does she know that Rush is one of the best groups ever to play

[@DionysusAlS]

Rush seems to have even less of an appeal to females than most hard rock bands. Fine with me. When I do come across the rare female Rush fan, I know I've found someone special.

[@estoy1001]

This is such an underrated song with so much subtext, it's one of their best IMO.

[@fjhgh100]

Best live version of this classic IMO.

[@MrJavisquare]

At least she's honest...LOL

[@HansMcGruber]

Alice looks pretty bored during the song haha. So no commentary at the end? Anyway, great song

[@jlmso11568]

The concert was in Montreal. I think Red Barchetta was the only song of that night included in the album. Their best period, in my opinion.

[@mikemooktv2041]

Very true, it's one of my all time favourite songs by Rush as well. Any Rush song you want me to react too, some"Natural Science" or "Cygnus

[@lisaharrison1031]

How about Jacobs Ladder?? From one Rush die-hard to another. I am glad I had the pleasure of seeing many, many Rush shows throughout their amazing 41 year history! Now that they have retired.......the sky just isn’t quite as blue as it used to be!!!! Rushin’ forever.

[@williampatterson5067]

Despite the opening and not able to see squat. It was worth it just to see Geddy with the rickenbacher bass again.

[@mikemooktv2041]

Thanks for that, great knowledge. I also think it was Rush's best period. After all it was hemispheres that got me into Rush.

[@shawnlowery6246]

It's interesting watching a young person reacting to great musicianship. I am sure this will give her a lifelong appreciation of technical, but real, ability of good musicians. Might I suggest "YYZ live in Rio". I think she would be impressed by the number and energy of the crowd.

[@mattycobby27]

One of their best from their best album. Hemispheres.

[@Vimana]

This is the first of your videos I've seen and I appreciate what you're doing here. I've been a Rush fan since the 1980s and I really like this song. Too bad this video version you were watching had a very bad quality sound. There are much higher quality versions available of this same song and from the same concert. I hope Alice gets another chance to hear Rush with a better sound in the future. One good option to try is to watch videos with lyrics included. There are quite a few of them here on KZbin. Neil Peart has written some great lyrics and you might have a nice discussion about their meaning afterwards...

[@fernvale436]

I want to try this with my 18 year old daughter and see her reaction of the song... i'll try the broons bane and trees track ….

[@RoarOfWolverine]

How come there was no commentary about the group or the song? Usually on these reaction videos the peopel actually rect in some way. Did they like it? Or hate it? I rellay couldn’t tell one way or the other how they felt about the music or Rush as a group. Oh well, I got to hear a classic Rush song if nothing else.

[@danbuter]

I think he's just hanging out with his granddaughter and sharing what he likes. Pretty cool, if you ask me.

[@aghoeing]

Ilove that 5/4 time passage

[@aisa2112]

Is she being kidnapped?

[@MrUnderdog-mh7ww]

Mike, you shouldn't show your daughter reacting with you. Too many droogs with rude things to say! Anyway, it may have been a bit over the top for her as it's a highly technical song and it's an instrumental. Maybe Tom Sawyer? Kudos to you for introducing your children to great music! I did with all 6 of mine and to this day, they'd rather listen to classic rock.🤘😎👍

[@SierraBravo347]

Hard to believe this is only a trio band. Most don't Like Rush....because they don't really LISTEN to Rush.....ie "get" the Depth of the lyrics.

[@geospot4679]

She just doesnt get it. Reminds me of my girlfriend. Bloody waste of time lol

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

george whitelaw My wife absolutely hated Rush! Not many women ever dug em. If you find one, hold on!

[@fjhgh100]

Yeagar Chillax my ex didn’t get it either , most woman despise Rush , although a girl I knew in my youth was a rush fanatic , she was my dream girl but I could never close the deal.

[@generoberts9151]

Going into Xanadu at the end.....please don't drag her through that....she barely made it passed the Trees

[@timbehen6739]

is she on dope

[@dannnyboy3911]

To compl.cat.. try yyz live rio ..

[@RogueReplicant]

I think Mike doesn't really grasp the concept of "reaction video". Hint: It's not about chaining your daughter to a chair and force feeding her the music you like 😑

[@Wag2112]

Ya, she is not a Rush fan, dude, sorry ! Yawn and more " I'm on camera" than give a shit about Geddy or the message. Have her check out Modern Day Warriors . They are a 4 piece tribute band from Western Canada with a chick singing and playing keys. You may get Alice to at least get a bit interested with that - at least to open the door to explore more into the world of Rush.
