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.

[@jeannequintiliani]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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...

[@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.

[@stephenpublicover8818]

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

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@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 !!!!

[@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 !!!

[@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.

[@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?"

[@heartwork8318]

[@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 😉😄

[@spruceheights]

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.

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.

[@breakall25]

The thing that always gets me with Rush is all this sound is coming from 3 guys! So much talent.

[@Gen75x]

Rush is a Canadian treasure. This was filmed in Northern Ontario. Check out Subdivisions by Rush. Neil Peart RIP wrote most of the lyrics to their songs. He was a brilliant writter & drummer.

[@traviscummings9178]

There's a very good reason why Neil Peart (the drummer) got the nickname The Professor. Every time he was on stage, class was in session

[@motodork]

Always have the lyrics pulled up when you listen to Rush. Their lyrics are almost always as important as their music.

[@allenrobison8103]

RUSH. 3 of the most accomplished musicians. Deep lyrics written by the drummer Neil Peart (RIP). This was on the album Moving Pictures, mostly recorded in Canada at LeStudio. No longer there. I can't say enough about this incredible band!

[@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”

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.

[@scottboyer5649]

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.

Your "Pie Dubious" was actually Pye Dubois (pronounced Doo-BWAH), who cowrote this song with Neil Peart, the drummer. Also, "prog" is short for "progressive rock." The video was shot at Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec, Canada, where this and many of their other great albums were recorded. It is sadly no more, and last I heard, the grounds are being prepped for the building of a new lakeside residential complex. And it's just Rush, not "the Rush."

Welcome to Rush! Neil Peart is one of the great lyricists of all time, and probably the greatest percussionist of all time. This is a trio, and each of them have phenomenal capability. Geddy Lee is the vocalist, bassist, and does synths. Alex Lifeson is on guitar. Tom Sawyer is a classic piece of theirs. This is drawing parallels between Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer and the symbolism in it, and the restless young romantic kid and his adventures in coming of age. All of Rush's songs have layered lyrical meanings. Other songs you may like of theirs: YYZ for the percussion solo (named after the YYZ airport, and the morse-code call sign for the airport is displayed prominently in the song) Fly by Night - Neil's reflections when leaving home Spirit of the Radio Working Man (pre-Neil Peart) Freewill Limelight The Red Barchetta I'm partial to their work from '74 to '82, but there are some other gems in there.
