NEW RUSH FAN REACTS TO RUSH - Xanadu (EXIT STAGE LEFT)

[@matthewblack7206]

I smiled so hard when you said "I can't handle this" and "This is too much!!" Imagine what old bastards like me did, the first time we heard it, all those years ago! It makes me so, so happy when a beautiful young man like yourself can love this music like I/we do! Neil Peart dying was a great loss: he was a great musician, writer and poet. Bands like Rush will never come our way again...

[@seano2112]

Matthew Black echoed my sentiments exactly 👍

[@virtualchoirboy_mc]

My first thought was... This was just one song. Imagine a THREE HOUR concert where the talent never stops. A dozen concerts, every one near or over three hours, every one a musical masterpiece, and every one a cherished memory.

[@karlbreuer5719]

Ahead of their time!

[@leddygee1896]

Geddy claimed that they wanted to be the smallest symphony orchestra in the world... I think they accomplished that goal.

[@ginamarandino6451]

And they did something that I prayed for 4 years and adding strings in their final tour, I highly recommend the garden

[@WarrenCromartie2]

Keith Emerson once said he wanted to create the 'Best goddamn three piece in the world' I love ELP, but I have to say Rush wear the crown for being the best 'goddamn three piece in the world'

Alex Lifeson is such criminally underrated guitarist. Consider how much musical space he covers in a three-piece band. Super versatile and super talented--his solos floor me with their emotional feel and impact.

[@ltdanu]

Thank you so much. I've loved Rush for sooo long and Alex seems to get the shaft especially on these reactions.

The greatest band of all time. The band that literally enjoyed each other. The band that other bands(ALL OF THEM) said they were the nicest guys they ever met. Their music is complicated but easily understood and appreciated. Simply the best. Neil Peart had a dream to read every book ever written. He did not succeed but holy shit he tried and what a goal to strive for.

[@jimtatro6550]

My friend you have no idea how happy it makes me to see a new generation embrace the greatest rock band of all time. Back in the 70s and 80s if you were a Rush fan you were considered a nerd. Now people can see the genius that the rest of us fans always knew. Keep up the great reactions. Stay safe brother

I feel exactly the same way, was that nerd as well. 😂

[@GenXDaddyO]

Haha! "I can't do it! It's too hard!" Yeah, this song is an aural assault on your brain. Give it another listen on your own and just surrender to it. The lyrics (based on an unfinished poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge) essentially speak about a mythical place called Xanadu, which offers eternal life to those who find it. The protagonist in the song finds what he seeks, but gets more than he bargained for. Eternal life, yes. But also a prison from which he cannot escape. Now he spends his days waiting for the world to end so he can rest at last. This is a song about seeking a prize, and then finding out that it's not all that you thought it would be.

I saw Rush 19 times yet to see someone like you get so excited and so into the music, it still never fails to give me chills. Excellent job, excellent review!

[@virtualchoirboy_mc]

I "only" saw them a dozen times and yet, just like you, their live performances leave me with chills, but also with two main feelings: immense gratitude that I had the chance to witness their amazing talent and immense sadness that Neil's passing means nobody will ever get to truly experience Rush live ever again. "it's on a different level right now" - To be honest, I think they were always on a different level. Live, studio, didn't matter. These three maestros were always on a different level.

[@lvgelfling72]

@@virtualchoirboy_mc YES YES YES! I waited till the 90s to fall in love with Rush, and only 10 shows, and I wouldn't trade one of my nights with them for anything at all...

My friend, you just witnessed the three most talented trio on the planet. I've followed these guys since 1973 when I was 12. When the Professor (Neal Peart) joined in 74 I leaped in head first. You have so much to listen too from Rush is all I can say is start with thier early work first to get a feel for what got them to the pinnacle where they rightly belong. Compare studio to live. Your doing a great bro. Denton

[@tommeadows2176]

Just to look in your eyes was absolutely beautiful I've always known since 1976 since I started going to concerts for us that they were the best band ever and just to see the look in your eyes when you see this for the first time just bring joy

[@mikeperry2814]

So glad you checked RUSH out! I get goose bumps watching this with you! They sound much bigger because they are each playing several instruments at the same time! Alex: 6-string/12-string guitar, foot pedal synth. Geddy: Bass, synth keys, foot pedal strings/synth, sings. Neal: an orchestra of percussion!! My all time fav!

[@stevedrums1675]

As a drummer, this was the drum-kit that was the most intimidating, jaw-dropping thing I'd ever seen. I was 11 in 1981 and this kit was everything I aspired to be. This was the age before electronics and sampling on any great scale and you actually had to play what you presented. These were glory days for music.

[@Ghostnotes1221]

[@JoeSmith-ey2xp]

Thanks for bringing back the feeling I had when I saw them for the 1st time on this very tour, Senior in high school, heard them but didn't know them except for their hits, then they spring this on my ass and my jaws on the floor.

[@erimronnbeck]

It’s amazing to watch someone appreciate Rush for their amazing talents creativity and inspiring music. I’ve seen them live nearly a dozen times incredible every time. Just to give you some perspective on this song Geddy is playing a Rickenbacker 4080 double neck bass on top six string on bottom he plays both instruments on this song all while singing playing the synth with his hands and feet, there will only ever be one Geddy, Alex, and Neil. Rush truly the greatest rock band of all time that’s just my slice!!!! Enjoy the pathway my friend.

And then there's Neil... thanks for letting the youtube world witness your emotional breakdown. It was real. We've all had similar as the truth of RUSH slaps you across the face.

I've been listening to RUSH since 1982 & from 1982 for 15 years I was happily lost in the genius of this trio. Not caring to listen to any other music, not wanting to. Always new discoveries be it in Neil's sublime lyrics to Gedi's in the face base, it was a wonderful time of my life. Wonderful people & fan participation were all a part of the love. When you decide to listen to 2112 live version the play between Alex and the audience was electric, you went home buzzing from the adrenaline deafened by the music and without much of your voice left, wicked!!!!

Rush definately takes you on a rollercoaster ride with each piece. This was my first concert at 17 years old.

Love seeing reactions to the live version of Xanadu by Rush. Extremely talented musicians in every single way. Geddy is totally using the Moog synthesizer. The camera shots doesn't show it, but he also plays the synthesizer with his feet when he's away from the keyboards. Also, the guitarist, Alex, also plays the synthesizers with his feet, next to his foot pedals. Pure multi-instrumentalists from the whole band, which is why they sound like an orchestra, even though there's only 3 of them.

[@philipwhigham3495]

And they would play with this intensity for 3 hour shows. BANGERS
