Rush - By-Tor & The Snow Dogs/In The End/In The Mood - Medley - Live Performance

[@benredmond6636]

Great to see you again reacting to RUSH. They are the best. I agree with everything you said

[@robrodarme1730]

"Best band ever!" You are correct sir!!

[@scottshields113]

🤯 still after over 40 years of listening to them. They were killing it!

[@islaypeat9798]

Absolutely the best. You nailed it Rory. They never short changed their following. Even when their sound changed over the decades they always gave their best.

[@bryanhaynes6742]

FINALLY. Well Rory always been a fan and you finally did my favorite Rush clip/video of all time. Seen em 43 times. First show was this tour. 2nd leg of the Moving Pictures tour. I miss them so much too.

[@normanmiller604]

I don't think you realize just how awesome they are until you go a while without listening to them. The most incredible body of work by any band. And all of it just bangin.

[@ZIG4ZAG20]

Rush’s albums were ALWAYS top notch and unbelievable, but live🤯they are entirely, incredibly, phenomenal beyond description.🤘🖖✌️🥁🎸🎹🎤

[@ToddBaker2112]

Great job Rory, glad you did this one!

[@cecillegravelle2590]

yes..!!! BEST BAND EVER!!!! YOU'RE EFFING RIGHT❤🎉❤❤🎉 I'm so glad you've found this rabbit hole!

[@heyskipj]

They are so tight on By-Tor.

[@debbieplato5107]

I know you are enjoying the music when you get thst little grin and then start giggling. LOL Best band ever. ...I agree. The energy was fantastic and Alex was having a whale of a time! Great stuff! . One of my favourite Rush songs is Secret Touch from the Snakes and Arrows tour. I would love to see you react to that one.

[@flowersnyams]

I love this particularly as Alex is so animated

[@edgarpacifico3421]

This is an experience ❤

[@dannychase1787]

G.O.A.T!

[@michaelwhalen7154]

You would enjoy their 2112 live performance (1997). Stickhits has a good remastered version. Alex shines and has a couple of remarkable acoustic solos. Also their Intro to Spirit of Radio from their R30 Tour. A superb medley to start the concert and lead into Spirit of Radio.

[@SnowDogisVictorious]

Snow Dog is forever victorious.

[@jimtatro6550]

Best band ever… And if you don’t agree… You’re wrong. I couldn’t have said it better myself mate.😂🔥🙏🏻👍

[@davymc6764]

Keep on keepin on the Rush Rory!

[@dgator3599]

Perfection! I saw them on this album tour and Alex was wearing that red jacket. I was in the 11th grade in 1981 and I still have my ticket stub. I paid $9.50 for general admission and the concert t-shirts were $15 and up. (These prices were not that cheap for me considering I was only making minimum wage $3.35/hr working at Wendy's part time in high school) Price comparison between 1981 and 2024 would make the tickets about $35-$36 each. At the time the concert ticket wasn't a big deal it was the party supplies :) that went along with the concert that had to be afforded :) as well as gas for the 50 mile trip to the auditorium. By the way, quality smoke at the time was going for $15-$20 a quarter bag. I believe Rush was in their prime during this era as they were in their late 20s-very early 30s. Worth every penny...other than Pink Floyd, it is, by far the best concert I attended.

[@trailchasing5081]

I've been waiting for you to react to this medley for so long! So happy! When you have a chance you should react to the entire Exit...Stage Left video and the Power Windows album!

[@Sid-gu5qk]

😊 spectacular.👍👍

[@MarcoBosma]

Yeah I cannot make up a band that is sounding so tight and as a unity together

[@mikemcilroy4995]

Hard pressed to think of a better performance for me. Geddy's bass lines during By-tor and Grand Finale were awesome plus the fact they were so tight and stoll having fun goofing around during it...I think you nailed it. I know I haven't seen any other band match all the elements.

[@AnthonyKellett]

I've been asking for this for a while. I saw this live (albeit at a different concert) and it's an everlasting, joyous memory! BTW, the title misses off 2112 Grand Finale.

[@labird1994]

Awesome !! Yeah 🎸🤘🔥Thanks Rory 👌

[@Zennofobic]

Exit Stage Left!

[@RCSkunkWorX]

"RUSH makes every other band look Lazy" And Making other bands say WTF!!😯since 1974.

[@squamishfish]

Was that a Rory Gallagher influence on Alex 😊

[@AnthonyKellett]

In addition to this video, I've also been keen for you to see this fairly recent Alex Lifeson interview. Not only interesting guitar stuff, but also shows his humility. I appreciate it's a tad long, but Rush fans won't care. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHatpqiBerGtodEsi=94IhzykoOwb7pkKq
