Rush- 2112 & Limelight Live in Rio Reaction

[@charlest.velten6983]

Your reactions are memorable and Priceless. But the wiggle and the jiggle and the occasional giggle. Adds a whole new beautiful flavor to your reviews !

[@TheMichaelseymour]

.....yeh,,,,, now that you mention it .......

[@TheSteveDallas]

The seat may rotate, however what's even better is the WHOLE drum set rotates. Sometime check out a drum solo by Neal Peart. Truly cool to watch...

Especially the one in Rio.

Live in Hamberg Germany

O Baterista is the Rio drum solo

My favorite is the one live in Frankfurt.

They had never played in Brazil and were surprised to see what a following they had. They sold out soccer stadiums.

So did AC/DC.

1981 was the year of Back in Black and Moving Pictures. Ring My Bell was pretty cool back then as well. Don't forget Funky Town.

When Geddy and Alex were asked in an interview why they had never toured in Brazil before, Geddy jokingly said, "'Cause we're not that smart". They had no idea anyone had even heard of them outside North America and Europe.

This is one of my favorite live performances. The crowd makes it phenomenal. Those Brazilians came to party.

RUSH, YES and FLoyd never borrowed (stole) from blues musicians (sorry Led Zepplin and Elvis).

@@nattijeff And your point is that LZ and Elvis where just thieves and nothing else. Without Elvis and Led Zeppelin there would be no Rush.

@@richardeast3328 Perhaps, but Geddy's biggest influence was YES. So, you are OK with bands making huge bank without greasing the palms of the original artists?

[@richardeast3328]

@@nattijeff Do you think those old black bluesmen or their living relatives would have gotten that money. Do some research about the contracts they were given. You did know that Page is Alex's favorite guitarist. But I do agree with you that LZ should have given those artists writing credits.

Wow. First, Amazing classic partial song warms you up to the all time classic Limelight. Second, you must experience 2112 studio version in its entirety to fully understand how much of a masterpiece album it is. Great reaction, love how you really get into Rush. They are amazing live. You had me cracking up on the smells in the crowd lol. You know its a lit ass concert when the crowd gets louder than the band at times. Thanks great reaction.

Being Canadian l have been a RUSH fan since their humble beginnings seeing them in clubs with original drummer John Rutsey. Watched them grow into a worldwide incredible stadium filling phenomenon. Three guys individually at the top of the talent tree...put them together and you've got Canadian Dynamite called RUSH!🇨🇦 Been an incredible journey from 3 incredible guys!

That's the most awesome crowd ever, they earned the show almost as much as the band.

[@benredmond6636]

That was fun! I was transported with you. Such a fun band

[@piratecat5113]

Geddy kept complaining about the huge speaker behind him affecting his bass guitar but they could not leave that empty space on stage, a staff guy said we have a washing machine, the rest is history. they had chicken spinning in industrial rotisseries at some point :) There is a ton of Rush tribute bands out there and some are searching hard to find those vintage props from another century, that's dedication.

[@philstone3859]

Yeah, RUSH needs a laundromat like Heisenberg needs a car wash!

[@kathyembley455]

Brazil!? Hell yeh!

[@TheCanuck1962]

You really do need to listen to "La Villa Strangiato" by Rush. I'd suggest an early live version "One of the more interesting aspects of Rush's stage show over the last decade has been the appearance of working clothes dryers on the right side of the stage. These set pieces, which spin Rush t-shirts throughout the performance, were brought about when Geddy Lee began to run his sound directly through the front of house console, eliminating the need for an amp stack on his side of the stage. Needing to fill a now empty hole on the stage, the band took the opportunity to poke fun at the habit of rockers filling the stage with walls of amps, only a few of which are usually functional. The dryers aren't the only appliances that have made an appearance on Rush's stage, they have also used refrigerators, vending machines and even giant rotisserie ovens that cooked real chicken and were attended to by a chef throughout."

[@garykelly7422]

Epic and musical brilliance, been waiting for this. I knew you would like Neils drum set lol.☮️

A fun one from the Rio concert to listen to is YYZ, where 60,000 Brazilian fans sing along... to an instrumental piece.

Thanks for loving RUSH.... RUSH is a special band..They are on a higher level! .. Peart was really a genius and he will always live through his AWESOME MUSIC!... I had the chance to see them live... It is still one of the greatest moments in my life!...No concert is comparable!.... EVERYBODY should check the lyrics of Natural Science (starts slow)... The Lyrics apply so much now in COVID19 and Climate Change times... RUSH songs are full of Darwinian observations... He was really The Professor! We the people should learn a lot from Peart and Rush lyrics.. Rush songs are like my Bible and I am proud of saying it! Peart was a special man! I am totally sure he is a true genius! I will like my kids some day to be influenced by RUSH Lyrics , much more than a Bible... Those lyrics will make great citizens.... the future needs it!

[@MrTech226]

Scribe I believe that RUSH had popcorn machines during the stop in West Palm Beach of their Time Machine tour. They proved that band can have awesome sounds without big concert speakers out on stage like others have. Their system is well hidden. I think one stop had a cook checking on rotisserie chicken churning and grilling.

[@wizardsuth]

When I saw them on their Snakes and Arrows tour, a young woman dressed in a German maid's outfit came onstage during a song and basted the chicken. They also had a video titled "Don't be Rash" in which several women in similar outfits were carrying jugs of beer around. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWHddIN7nqmZmqs

[@nattijeff]

Scribe, this concert took place over 20 years later from official "Limelight" video you watched a few days ago. That video in 1981 was recorded at "Le Studio" near Toronto. Le Studio has a fantastic history. The list of musicians who used this studio is most impressive. It was state of the art, and was like a remote retreat. What you just reacted to was the first time RUSH had ever played in Rio. Also, they really did have laundry in the washer and dryer on stage. They are music nerds with a sense of humor. P.S. How many of you RUSH fans would like to meet this young lady?

[@alainrobillard4300]

True that the video you are talking about was recorded at Le Studio, like most of the albums of RUSH. Exept that this legendary recording studio was not in the Toronto area, but about one hour north of Montréal.

Miss Scribe, you kick ass! As others have said, you have to check out the studio version of 2112 to hear the whole 20 minute song. It's EPIC! Preferably the KZbin version with the song illustrated in "Comic Book" form. Also, when I viewed this here video, ( watchin' you watch me ) LOL, the video YOU were watching the audio and visual were not synched. I noticed that on another video you did. Is it synched on your end? I hope so! Love the air drumming! Youi know, Neil STARTED the whole " Air Drumming" phenomenon!..

Geddy puts his bass signal directly into a processor then the P.A. system therefore no amps. Being the clowns that he and Alex are they thought a wall of clothes dryers as big as Alex's wall of amps would be funny. And it is 😆

[@Swonder1972]

Bass is almost always a D.I. to the mixer in such big shows. Micing a bass amp on stage causes feedback and crosstalk problems and is never done. For decades when listening to most any live rock show, you were hearing a direct line to the mixer. The bass amps were essentially for "show" ...especially since the advent of in-ear monitoring.

The drum can turn cuz one half are electronical drums. So in songs where Neil uses electric drums it just turns 180 degrees.
