Only three band members made all that music mind blowing. Seen them many times in concert . Best drummer I have ever seen in my life Neil Peart rest in peace

[@ruthietreselan]

They did use keyboard players

[@bpiraeus-p3b]

Welcome to the world of Rush, where your ears and mind will be blown; you've got arguably one of the best guitarists, bassists, and a man who will forever be considered one of the greatest drummers of all time ... in one room making incredible music.

[@TheRandalltex]

This song is Neil Peart's (drummer & lyricist) modern adaptation of Twains original story. It's about young men like you and me, & how we navigate our way through todays world. "Todays Tom Sawyer". The location was a recording studio in Quebec Canada, where Rush (Canadian band) recorded a lot of this album. The studio, Le Studio, is no longer there.

[@PaulWRose]

Nice explanation, saved me the trouble. Thanks

[@erikthompson619]

Well, not exactly an adaptation of Twain's story. Neil started off from a poem by lyricist Pye Dubois, of Max Webster fame, reworked it a little and fit the Tom Sawyer reference in there because he simply thought the character fit in there attitudewise. It's kind of confusing to anyone who is not Neil Peart.

[@TheRandalltex]

@@erikthompson619 Yes agreed on the Dubois influence 100%, but the opening line & song title, for me at least, cements this as more an adaptation from Twain than anything. I'll go 70/30 :)

[@marybethmcknightpotts6049]

R.I.P. ,Niel....gone too soon..

[@CJINW]

Neil did not write the lyrics to this one. Hate to burst your bubble.

[@IAM7Feathers]

Rush concerts were the best. Rush was the band that held the audience captive. People sat and listened. The thinking man's band.

[@barbarafrazier3242]

Agree! One of the best concerts I’ve been to! Each member is amazing and each one had a solo. They are amazing.

[@FrugalShave]

Oh shit dude! You just stepped into another rabbit hole. This one is 50 years deep. Rush never had a #1 hit but sold out arenas around the world. Each player is considered by many to be one of the top players. Guitar Player Magazine eventually had to change their yearly poll from "Who is the best rock bass player?" to "Who is the best rock bass player, other than Geddy?"

[@cheryla7480]

They are playing at Le Studio, outside of Montreal Quebec. Iconic Canadian prog rock band were together for forty years, known world wide. Geddy Lee, vocals, bass, keyboards, Alex Lifeson, guitar, Neil Peart, drummer and wrote all their lyrics, He was considered one of the greatest drummers ever. R.I.P. Neil we miss you

[@Coffeeology]

RIP the professor

[@stephenpublicover8818]

Hey, my friend, RUSH was always the thinking man's prog-rock band, enjoy 40 years of great Canadian rock!

[@RockinMamaT]

They're in Canada in a little warehouse in my home town in Thornhill thats where their from.My bro and i used to go listen to them record it was just down the street. We stood on garbage dumpsters to see in the windows to wstch them record. Amazing times and grest guys with big hearts❤

[@quincee3376]

Awesome. I'm from Markham and went to school with Geddy's nephew.

[@starlight6325]

Hey man....I gotta say. I love that you put yourself out there and open yourself to music you know very little about. I don't mind you doing your research on your show. You want to know the details, but still go in blind. It has made me subscribe.

[@freefall8243]

Tom Sawyer is an icon. Rush’s song begins, “Today’s Tom Sawyer…” so it’s not about the old Tom Sawyer, it’s embracing what a modern Tom Sawyer might be.

[@stevengauger3974]

"Don't let anyone fuck you over". That's basically what the song is saying, I think.

[@stevepaterson7503]

This is a quote from drummer Neil Peart, who co-wrote the lyrics: "Tom Sawyer was a collaboration between myself and Pye Dubois, an excellent lyricist who wrote the lyrics for Max Webster. His original lyrics were kind of a portrait of a modern day rebel, a free-spirited individualist striding through the world wide-eyed and purposeful. I added the themes of reconciling the boy and man in myself, and the difference between what people are and what others perceive them to be-namely me, I guess."

[@scott4482]

Its RUSH, just three musical masters that together make up the best band in the world.

[@AutumnPheonix]

"Though his mind is not for rent.... to any God or Government.... always hopeful yet discontent.... knows changes aren't permanent.... but change is." This is one of my all-time favorite song lyrics.

[@shawnk7832]

Agreed ❤

[@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers]

They're Canadian it was recorded there. Rush is one of the greatest rock trios in the world and their drummer Neil Peart (RIP) was one of the greatest drummer's to ever live earning the nickname "The Professor" because no matter how good a drummer was Neil could take them to school and teach them new thing's also he played drums with clinical precision.

[@davebeins2593]

And never EVER saw the man sweat...

[@perceptualvortex]

Rush has over 150 songs, and most of them have deep meanings, or tell a story. Tom Sawyer is one of the few where the meaning is more abstract. I've been a Rush fan since the 70s, and I still am not really sure what the song is supposed to mean, except maybe describing some guy. Mark Twain wrote both Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. This song was recorded in Le Studio, up in Quebec Canada, and I'm pretty sure this video was taken while they were actually recording the song. Great reaction, man! I hope you check out more Rush!

[@alanmacification]

The lyrics are from a poem by a friend of Neil Peart's, lyricist Pye Dubois of the band Max Webster. ( Another awesome Canadian party band, led by Canadian Icon; Kim Mitchell ) It's basically about a modern day rebel, but a rebel without a cause.

[@markastoforoff7838]

I think the song represents a young man growing into his own and finding his way. Learning about what the world is really about and how to fit into it. He's a warrior, or at least he thought he was but going out into the brave new world he has to carve his way,

[@markastoforoff7838]

@@alanmacification Max Webster was awesome, a lot of times when a person does a Rush first time reaction I like to mention the song "Battlescar" just to give props to Max Webster. I think they were highly under rated at least outside of Southern Ontario. It wasn't until Kim went solo that he kind of took off, having moderate success in the US.

[@cindiaker5778]

OMG !!!!! I am about to watch your reaction to Tom Sawyer and I am so dang happy. I started watching your channel when I had discovered Ren and watching reactions to him led me to you. I have been watching you for awhile and always wished you would react to some 70's & early 80's music and here we are. The 70's has music that will blow you away with all the talent. I love all genres of music, but the 70's was when I was a young teen and really discovered my pure love of music. PLEASE dive into the music of Rush and other artists of the 70's and I know you will not be disappointed and I know it will bring you many new subs. Seriously, us old hippies love nothing more than watching young folk discover and appreciate the music we grew up being blessed with !!!! NOW, I am thrilled to watch your reaction .....and I promise us older subscribers can turn you on to some music that you will never forget. Geez, I wanna start listing artists ....but just enjoy...and react to a few old 70's classics and we will guide you happily on an amazing journey !!!!

[@MichaelKing-de4jz]

You should do a reaction to Rush. 2112 Overture, amazing story telling!!

[@burton528hz]

Yeah!!! It's amazing the sound that only 3 guys can create. It's also pretty amazing that each of the 3 band members are idols for people that play their instrument. Drummers idolize Neil, Bass players idolize Geddy, and guitar players idolize Alex. I've heard of them referred to as Elvis, Elvis and Elvis. lol

[@ricksurratt9034]

Rush is freaking unbelievable, big rabbit hole

[@rudyb.]

Rush’s album, “Moving Pictures” is a Masterpiece!! This song is one of the”Hits” from that album in 1981. This is a Canadian Progressive Rock Band. Three members: Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson & Neil Peart.

[@Jadamhodges]

Absolutely!!!

[@msmrsro]

Geddy Lee was playing bass, keyboard, and providing vocals. Amazing.

[@TheAmanko]

Mad respect for you checking out other genres! Been watching your channel for a while and I love that you put yourself out there to experience and appreciate all types of music. Keep going down the Rush rabbit hole. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by what you find!!

[@cindiaker5778]

I agree , I am so happy to see reactors discover some of the music of my youth . I have only been watching Black Pegasus for maybe 7 months or so....Ren reactions led me to him and I really enjoy his reactions. I am hoping for more Rush..and hopefully more 70's stuff...Idk if he "knows" of Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Rolling Stones, Boston, Pink Floyd, The Who, Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin.....there are so many great groups and solo artist from back then that I know would totally impress him....lol. Hoping he keeps expanding his reactions ...he is a great reactor !!!

[@50looking1]

I am from Cleveland, ohio. When Rush first came out no Radio stations would even put it on the air. A radio station in Cleveland was the first place that played it's first song. And from there went to be a World FAV!. Great job your doing. Thanks

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

That was THREE men... Only! Best drummer EVER= Neil Peart. That's my favorite drum drum solo ever. Please go back and watch him play that drum solo. It's 🔥🔥🔥

[@julesmac]

My boys, lost count at 14 live shows. They were my youth. The Rockumentary ‘Beyond the Lighted Stage’ interviews big rock legends and why they love Rush..and gives their story. They are incredibly talented musicians..the drummer Neil Peart (the lyricist) was very well read. Canada’s collective heart broke when we lost him..exit the warrior

[@whome1299]

That documentary is excellent.

[@lynnw9857]

They are in a legendary Canadian recording studio called Le Studio, in the province of Quebec. Welcome to the world of Rush….they began in the early 1970s, and only ceased to exist as a band in 2020 after the drummer, Neil Peart (aka The Professor) passed away. Alex Lifeson (guitars) and Geddy Lee (bass, keys and vocals) didn’t want to continue without him. It’s almost a prerequisite for Canadians of a certain age to love Rush 😉😄

[@marcbernard6641]

It’s Morin Heights north of Montreal. A studio in the Laurentians where many bands recorded ie.The Police,David Bowie etc..

[@danielsilverman382]

The video was actually made in Quebec, Canada, in Le Studio a very well known recording studio, many well known artists also recorded there such as Rush, The Police, Sting, Cat Stevens, The Bee Gees, David Bowie, Keith Richards, Chicago (2), Roberta Flack, Wilson Pickett and Bryan Adams.

[@louispoirier6004]

Rush is Canadian, this is in Loren Heights, Quebec. These three brilliant musicians started in 1974. They have 20 studio albums and are extremely highly respected by many many other great musicians. The Drummer Neil Peart passed in 2000 R.I.P. wrote 98% of the lyrics, he is nicknamed The Professor.

[@indyvisualist]

The song is poetry, it is highly metaphorical.... The song is what it speaks to you.

[@indyvisualist]

Rush are huge Aynn Rand fans. There is a lot of philosophy built into their music.

[@DeaconBlues117]

Your statement is inaccurate. Rand was an influence on Heart's lyrics on his first couple of albums with them, but after "2112" he quickly grew disillusioned with the selfishness inherent in Objectivism.

[@marlonwilson647]

So glad you dove into Rush. Rush is a Canadian Prog(progressive) rock band. Tom Sawyer in this song is, as you speculated, a free spirit. He is not one to be controlled or told what to do, much like drummer Neil Peart. Neil writes all the lyrics for their songs. They are recording at their studio in the cabin district of Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. Rush has loads of bangers and I think you will really enjoy their song “Free Will”

[@debbieplato5107]

Actually that is Le Studio in Quebec.

[@richardsimard6415]

Enregistré a Morin Heights Québec

[@Nightwolves1981]

great reaction the video was filmed in quebec its basically a story about a modern day warrior or everyman in search of fulfilling the richness that life has to offer but that as a free thinking mind that all the popular paths in this live make that not a viable option so they basically have to pave their own pathway to get all the richness that life has to offer. the song was written by geddy lee and alex lifeson and neil peart in collaboration with paul phillip woods mainly which are members of the band except for paul. was recorded in late 1980 and was released in early 1981.

This came out in 1981. The character of Tom Sawyer from the Mark Twain books was used as a metaphor for getting through the modern world. this is the original recording session. It was at an old homestead that was converted into a recording studio. It's been closed for years but for a while it was a recording hot spot for top artists. It was called "Le Studio." It 's located near a town called Morin Heights in Quebec, Canada.

[@JimiBurleigh]

You nailed it, Moving Pictures dropped in early 1981. The reason there's snow on the ground is because it was winter '80-81 up in Morin Heights, Ontario when they recorded the video.

Tom Sawyer was an protagonist in the book. He was the wildcard always in trouble. The singer was comparing himself to Tom Sawyer. Rebellious and won't align with anyone. The Spacey invasion was upon us back then. Star wars, Star Trek, Lost in Space, David Bowie with his Ground Control to Major Tom and Billy Thorpe with Children of the Sun. Rush jumped right in the mainstream and did their thing. The singer for Rush was a perfectionist who was seen throughout his career railing inept Roadies and their drummer is considered 2nd best drummer of all time behind Keith Moon. Neil Pert was truly an amazing drummer. Billy Thorpe who performed Children of the Sun died to soon . That song is bad ass.

[@sbombeck5419]

I've gotta ask for sources on your assertations regarding Geddy's relationship with roadies (I am a life-long Rush fan and have NEVER heard any issues with this. In fact, quite the opposite.) As far as your opinion that Moon is better than Peart, that is really debatable and certainly not a certainty as you present it. Moon was wild and thunderous and certainly not afraid to take risks while Peart was meticulously clean, savvy, and deeply learned. They both belong in the top 5 of greatest rock drummer of all time, but more often than not, Peart is listed above Moon as his actually drumming abilities exceeded Moon's.

[@tombanaski3251]

This song is actually pretty complex musically; it shifts from 4/4 time to 7/8 time at the end of the first keyboard solo, and Neil Peart picks it up flawlessly on the drums. Peart used to say that once he got through this song how it came out indicated how the rest of that day or show's performance was going to go---it was that challenging to him, even after years of playing it.

Imagine being a 15-year-old kid and you've never been to a rock concert before and some older kids in the neighborhood ask at about 6:00 in the evening if you'd like to go to a concert tonight with them You beg your mom to go and she eventually lets you... I hope one day you'll get to this album / tour... It was called permanent Waves and every single song on it is fabulous. This is just three musicians putting out such quality music it's unbelievable The lyrics are 95% written by the drummer who is probably in the top five drummers in history I would say number one but I'm biased so I have to give credit to so many others that belong in that top tier... I hope you continue this journey. I fell in love with this group the minute I saw them. Please understand the reason why this band has such a great following is not just because they're so freaking talented and there's only three of them but because they also love to play live for their audience and always toured every album and put out an album pretty much every year They are just fantastic to their fans and are probably one of the best bands out there of all time.
