Rush - Making memories | Reaction

[@MrBedZeppelin]

A lot of bands have a "touring life" song. This is easily my favorite deep RUSH cut!

[@paulcampbell5216]

I forgot about this one. I really liked it first hearing many years back,... and still do!!

[@ZIG4ZAG20]

Fly by Night was my introduction to Rush, Bytor and the Snowdog was/is my fav from it and I’m talking it was 80-81 when I found it in my older brothers record collection.🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎤🎸

[@tonyrogers5709]

There's a treasure trove of Rush songs...but you've GOT to listen to Headlong Flight. Such a great song.

[@TheMoosebreath24]

Young man, you are wise beyond your years. Always remain curious and never, never stop learning and exploring! Grace and peace.

[@tomlindroos828]

An old fav!!!! Thanks!!!!!

[@debbieplato5107]

Nice one! You can hear the bands optimism in this song. Their career in music is starting to come together. I think you would enjoy Geddy's new book My Effin Life. Geddy said he wanted to write it before he forgot a lot of things. I understand that one as I am the same age as Geddy at 70. (Geddy just turned 71). Cheers 🇨🇦 ❤

I finished My Effin Life a week ago...this book had me laughing out loud and crying, especially the end of the book.

[@debbieplato5107]

@@patriciaellis4848 The same with me. I loved seeing the guys in their hockey gear. LOL

This was before Neil added the high pitched concert toms to his kit - you may notice he did all low end fills. The next album (Caress of Steel) - he shows off the concert toms

A good old Rush song. L guess I like it so much because of the acoustic guitar. Some nice guitar work by Alex too.

[@earlellison7533]

I love DIRE STRAITS and just Mark K so when I heard RUSH -- they fit right in. Good stuff!

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

Wow, this is a very deep cut. Good tune that I have not heard in many years, I love the production on this album it's very present and it doesn't sound all that dated to me. Also, as a side note..... I like your commentary

[@mikebailey548]

So good!

[@jhc2093]

loved it

[@Matty0923]

Yes brother that is certainly one of their shorter ones

[@gregcormier2379]

The sentiments in this song were not something Neil would have agreed with as he was the least happiest of the band having to be on the road touring all the time. Although the band did improve their chops greatly from playing so much live.

[@cpmf2112]

The touring is what grew their loyal fanbase too.

[@markjohnson4217]

They wouldn't have survived as a band if they hadn't toured as much as they did. They had no hit singles back then so the royalties were modest. Their record sales picked up after 2112, but before that, they had to rely on touring revenues and I am sure that once everyone on payroll has been paid, (the publicists, the tour managers, the promoters, the stage technicians, the sound team, the road crew) the musicians would get whatever trickles down after that, so it must have been a daunting business touring like that and barely breaking even!
