RUSH - Marathon - Live In Cleveland 2011 (60fps Enhanced Remaster)

[@steveschaff4620]

Always Present... Always There... NEVER mailing it in... Rush!! I saw Rush live 6 times (1986, 1990, 1994, 1996, 1997, 2015) and NOT once did I see or hear them 'going through the motions'. They gave 100% EVERY TIME! I MISS FK'N RUSH!!

[@raminitzan]

the best band of my life thanx from Israel fans

[@amoco14]

This is my favorite RUSH song, Ever since I heard it back in the 80's, But I've been a RUSH fan since the 70's.

[@markfletton5901]

Power Windows was a superb album. But weren't they all?

[@billwoods9302]

Of all the basslines to sing over. Geddy is truly amazing.

[@mightyV444]

I know! Right? 😅 According to Geddy, the first verse in 'Turn The Page' had been even harder to sing while playing bass 🙂

[@seniorgolfdigest2660]

'Circumstances' always baffled me how he sing and play that tune!

[@batman1169]

Great time to be alive and watch his work! Living legend in our time!❤

[@AlexRubbo]

Happy belated Birthday, Axx

[@hashbeatscash7761]

I've been listening to and a fan of Rush for 45 years now. Your reaction video journey of them have brought such a fresh and new perspective to their music for me. Thank you for that! 💚

[@shanefrye2300]

Best chorus ever: "from first to last, the peak is never passed, something always fires the light that gets in your eyes, one moments high and glory rolls on by, like a streak of lightning that flashes and fades in the summer sky

[@williamgrice4790]

Happiest of birthdays! always loved this song. the bass line, the lyrics...it really hit home in 1988 while going thru morse code school for the Marines. Doing allot of running and more than a Finish line and more than dotted line more than just a dash always struck me. Watching Geddy sing, play bass , keyboards and pedals all at the same time.....incredible. Alex did some backing vocals on this one as well back during the '88 Show of Hands tour. The Clockwork Angles tour they had real strings playing along. One of Alex's solos as well. great reaction.

[@paulatkinson5492]

Happy birthday! I love your enthusiasm! It continues to feed my love for this band after all these years

[@niged]

Happy Birthday beautiful girl. What a track. Neil's drumming is off the scale

[@ronnutting2800]

Saw Rush play Marathon in Boston, MA in 2011. Had brought my son, his girlfriend and my 6 year old grandson. My grandson fell asleep in my arms and when the big bang happened in Marathon it startled him for a second and went right back to sleep!

[@gregcormier2379]

I was there with you man. That was the clockwork Angels tour. Awesome show!

[@rushnick]

Hi Ron, I'm kinda like your grandson's reaction. I was in Houston to see this tour in 2010; and wasn't expecting that BIG BANG; it scared the s--- outta me. A year later seeing the show in NOLA, I was ready.

[@belgand5555]

So so so happy you did this… it was my favorite Rush song ever… the early performances of this were so inspiring and brought tears to my eyes every time. You can make the most of a lifetime if you don’t burn out too fast… Belated Birthday Wishes and lots of love…🫶🏻♥️🫶🏻xx

[@belgand5555]

And I know exactly what you meant about that sound….

[@brettmarlar4154]

An anthem for those of us who always come close to the ultimate dream, only have the rug pulled out from you as you reach for it. But, instead of throwing up your hands and walking away you just regain your footing, and rejoin the race.

[@AlfPane]

Incredible band

[@matthewwilson8730]

Yes, listening to Rush is a great way to spend your birthday or any day for that matter. I was fortunate to see Rush on the Time Machine tour in Columbus, OH. Absolutely the greatest concert I've ever seen in my life. No such thing as a bad Rush show. Perfection every time.

[@emery6564]

Pretty good live version. Great message about life.

[@jeffreycook2112]

First of all, Happy Birthday Neighbor! I was having a pretty crappy day at work today. So this afternoon I cranked up some Rush really loud. Rush has always put me in an amazing mood. I always loved when they played this song live. I was there the night they filmed this video, but my favorite performance of this song was way back in 1986. It was the Power Windows Tour. Their special effects back then were really awesome. They want especially crazy with the laser light show.

[@DavidLueck]

Happy Birthday! Great choice...saw this song 2 nights in a row on the Power Windows tour in Houston... epic!

[@lisaharrison1031]

My RUSH birthday story is one of immense joy tempered with sadness. RUSH played their last concert ever on my 57th birthday in 2015 It was one of the best birthday gifts I’ve ever received. Thanks to my wonderful husband who flew us out to Los Angeles for the show. 🤘🎶💜

[@ortizmo]

You saw your last Rush show where I saw my first. Inglewood (Great Western) Forum where I caught the 1988 Hold Your Fire show. I was 18. ❤

[@scottinokc]

When I saw Rush play Marathon on the Power Windows tour (January 1986 in Dallas), they had a laser guy running on the screen behind them. When it came to the big ending, he turned from a running man into an orchestra conductor, 17 yr old me totally geeked out on that!

[@bobrush4217]

I saw that show in Austin.

[@JosephRinella]

Was there that night in the 7th row center. It was my sons 21st birthday and we celebrated it there. What a show. We saw them many times together. My dad got me into Rush in 1980 and saw them with him several times, and then passed that love of Rush along to my kids. Great experiences and memories.

[@triadmad]

A very happy birthday to you. This is an excellent way to celebrate, having all your Rush fans joining you in order to listen to one of their best songs. For your own pleasure, look up their performance of this song during their "Show of Hands" tour, which was in 1988 if I remember correctly. The animation they play on the background screen is great and this also took place when Geddy was in a short lived unfortunate hair style phase.

[@jasonbonnette241]

this song has such a huge build all the way to the choir voices at the end.

[@RS35cyl]

I love this song! Powerful and moving. One of my favorite!🎉

[@peteesramchannel416disalvo9]

Wanted to let you know that you gave me tears tonight. Your comments at the end of watching marathon man with you gave me the tears. I grew up with Rush almost my hole life I’m 60 next month. They are very special happy birthday Pete from Toronto Canada my homeboys

[@redheadedneighbor]

💕

[@philipesterle6409]

Every time I run a marathon, and I've done more than a dozen at this point, I think of the lyrics of this song as song point. Usually, something like "it's not how fast you can go, the force goes into the flow". I'm slow, but endurance is the key here.

[@kevincamp2913]

This is one of the best songs on that album. Powerful and motivating.

[@sarastromseth-troy3323]

Happy birthday!! This song feels very motivating to me, personally, although my favorite part is that dreamy synth and guitar break in the middle. This live version is awesome! I hope you are having a wonderful birthday!

[@patricknicolucci5073]

Happy Birthday Young lady !!

[@georgegeorgopoulos1861]

Marathon !! ... one of my all time favorites from Rush ... a real masterpiece both musically and lyrically. By the way happy birthday...!

[@jamesp2719]

Happy Birthday from Scotland, I hope you have a fantastic day

[@edanielgreen]

Happy Birthday, young lady! 🎉🎂 An uplifting song, indeed, that you chose. I hope you have a wonderful day! 😊

[@michaelschroeck2254]

Did you just FREAKIN’ read my mind?!?! This is one of my most favorite songs ever and this live version is my favorite version of it!!!

[@tonyseymour9652]

Happy birthday Redhead neighbour. Hope you are having a great day. Listening to Rush helps.

[@Banditt42]

When Geddy gets the chicken head bobs going you know he is having fun.

[@Toofast4005]

Love this song 💜. What a wonderful reaction. Happy Birthday!!

[@PaulArnold-z1o]

Happy belated birthday - there's a drum cam version of this song that's so impressive to really see how complicated this song is to play ,you can hear all 3 of them but the cameras are only on Neil ( even if it doesn't make your channel check it out -I know you'll love it)

[@timmaytee]

Happy Birthday to our Red Headed Neighbor ! And many happy returns .

[@batman1169]

She wants to come over and borrow a cup of Rush weekly!❤

[@gutsanglory1]

Happy Birthday !!!! Great tune, with a great message! Cheerz!!!

[@timmaytee]

RUSH are Master s of the art of making music that grabs and moves you ,,Their progression thru music has only just now becoming apparent, I thought I had heard all the RUSH there was to,, Another one never heard,

[@joesixpack8305]

For this song in their 80s concerts they had a pitch black screen behind them and a chalk man (like you see at homicide scenes) running. He'd speed up, slow down, run across, run at you, run away from you, etc.. Was really cool.

[@DrMackSplackem]

I used to go jogging to this track, it's perfect.

[@mightyV444]

Have a wonderful birthday, dear Neighbor! 😀 And may your next year be filled with joy, love and many blessings! 😊🙌💚🌈☀️🎵🥂🦋🌻 This is my 18-year-old Son's favourite Rush song, by the way 😀 From the 'Power Windows' album and nearly 40 years old! 🤯😄

[@Alberto_1965_BR]

Happy birthday! 🎉 Great song! One of my favorites from my favorite band!

[@Bass17yl]

I saw this tour in Dallas. When that mortar went off, you felt it in your soul!!

[@sylvesterhoward8838]

Happy Birthday! You and my mom share the same birthday. One of my favorite Rush songs. The 1988 live version of this song is epic!

[@onelove1968]

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday today RHN.

[@mycroft16]

No, THIS is my fave Rush song. :) Seriously though it's up there. The way it builds from start to finish, like a spark of dreak to this huge room filling sound. The music feels like it has wings. You conquered this thing... but look... there's the next thing... go conquer it too! That final key change plus the octaves on keys just absolutely soars.

[@philstone3859]

Happy You 🫵 Day! Very cool you picked Marathon. The band liked playing this live and included on their set list for several tours. It was always cool to hear live and Alex soars on his solo. It’s a moment. Again, Happy You 🫵 Day! 😁👍 My little gift suggestion to you. You said you wanted a positive song for today and I think it is. It’s descriptive in a way only RUSH can do. 🙂 ⚡️👀 Listen to the studio version too. The Words……❤️

[@bobsmith9936]

Happy b-day, what a great gift to yourself, a rush song🎉 . saw this song on a neil drum cam, the man is busy.worth the watch. how they make it so fresh= they're 3 musical genius 👍

[@jonisears742]

Happy Birthday wishes from Glen Rose, Texas! Loved your reaction!

[@mattmid7012]

Happy Birthday 💕 That was a real birthday treat for you! 🎂 You do whatever you want, it's your channel but don't feel like you have to go live if you'd rather not, you can always do premieres don't forget. You could always react to the day's songs and upload them all as one big video as a premiere for example. That would allow for a good half hour chat and not get any copyright problems or dangers of a strike for your channel as I know some channels have had problems with music live. Wasn't it Cliff Beats that had loads of hassle with that, might have been someone else but I think it was him. Anyway, just an idea. You do you. 😊

[@texassendero4901]

Back before Pandora and all the streaming services I made CDs with all the new Rush, motley, Maiden, etc. I still have them. This one pops.

[@LearnToRefine]

Thank you for your sensory-visual interpretations.. I hate distance running, but I Love this song! It's about the race through Life.

[@WalterBenkel]

Happy many returns, dear RHN 😃🥰

[@beachboy1138]

Happy Birthday! I'm really loving all of your RUSH reaction videos. As someone who ran track and cross-country in school, this song hits so deep, and I've always loved that double key change they do at the end. Just so epic! It also brings a tear to my eye though. My uncle introduced me to Rush (his favorite band of all time) back around 2006-07ish, and we got to see them together on the Snakes & Arrows tour in 2008, the Clockwork Angels tour in 2012, and the R40 tour in 2015. Priceless experiences. My uncle passed away in Dec of 2020 at the age of 53, so now listening to Rush is even more of an emotional experience. I love the memories but it still makes me sad.

[@moonwoman]

Happy Birthday on Rush Wednesday! Such a great song, I love their style of playing on this record, the synth is awesome, very prominent which made Alex work his magic so fittingly, and kudos to Geddy's vocals here, Rush is so damn good!

[@TerryKrysinski]

Happy 21st B-Day,Red! ;-) This is from the Power Windows album ('85). I saw that tour...phenomenal! The entire album is stellar..dive in! Rock n' Rush! T

[@markrichardson8378]

Happy birthday,a great rush tune to celebrate it.

[@Tjeffers128]

Happy Birthday! This is one of my favorites!

[@BobSiefken]

Happy birthday! Very nice picks this weeks. I don't know what the prevailing thoughts are on songs from "Caress of Steel", but I wholeheartedly suggest "The Fountain of Lamneth". It's quite epic. The dynamic and emotional range of Geddy's singing is astounding in it. Plus it's got a drum solo.

[@adam872]

This is one of my favourite tracks of theirs, especially the live version(s). There's a real power and majesty about the song, the arrangement and the lyrics too. It's very uplifting.

[@michaelschroeck2254]

I recommend, in your own time, watching the Clockwork Angels live from Dallas Blu-ray. Watch the pre show and warm up all the way through to after Neil dashes from the stage to get away in his bus. I’m a grown ass man. But when they are about to take the stage and the house lights go out, yeah I get teary eyed. Everyone knows that feeling when the house lights go out at a Rush show. And now when I watch it I know I’ll never have that again. So that show in that video holds an ultimate place for me. Yes R40 was just a treat fry the fans in a spectacular concept. But the supporting tour of their penultimate magnum opus album will always make me proud to be a Rush fan. And I know redhead neighbor will love seeing Alex in the Analog Kid .

[@allanperry6507]

Happy Birthday beautiful 🌹🥰. 😃s from 🇨🇦 🤘RUSH🤘

Happy Birthday nothing like the gift of RUSH

[@philstone3859]

Fresh RUSH. Yup. Atmospheric is the word. Big Time. The cavernous sound in the arena hall gave you chills. Then they hit the Gas! Full on Rock and Roll! I would be completely spent after RUSH Night. I was an extremest! Ah, youth….😂

[@christhomas9370]

Happy birthday to you 🎉🎂🍫

[@williamadkins2170]

The last time I saw RUSH was on that Time Machine tour.

[@k2mountainman]

Happy Birthday ..I always listen to the studio version first I have found that in the live versions they sometimes change vocals, lyrics and music this goes for all bands ,some bands sound the same live as they do in the studio versions but this is just my opinion have a great day ,keep enjoying the music either way

[@chrisaustin8442]

The version of this song on the 'A Show of Hands' recording is excellent as well...

[@mightyV444]

It's superior to this one, in my opinion. Despite being the slowest version of them all 😄 Geddy's voice was at its peak then (He does quite a good job here too, though), and Alex' backing vocals were real and not mimed to pre-recorded Geddy vocals 🙂

[@chrisaustin8442]

@@mightyV444 can't argue... The version of The Big Money on ASOH is the best one I've heard as well.

[@mightyV444]

@@chrisaustin8442 - Love that one too, yes! 😀👍 That live album also includes the best version of 'Closer To The Heart', in my opinion 🙂 It also had introduced me to some early Rush via the medley at the end, and this also was the first occasion for me to hear 'Subdivisions' and 'The Spirit Of Radio' 🙂 (in the Summer of '89, after my very first Rush experience only a few months earlier: 'Grace Under Pressure', which instantly had made me a Rush fan 😊)

[@michaelschroeck2254]

Years after the fact, I learned that an old schoolmate of mine…. Her mom was a French teacher. She worked for a certain unnamed education course system. ( I learned all this way after the fact ok. And I was not a Rush fan at the time….. bare with me. ) she told me that one day her mom told her “ rock stars are coming to the house tonight to learn some French while they are touring. So be prepared.” Yes, those rock stars were Rush. They would stop at certain locations while traversing the country to take French lessons. They stopped at her house quite a few times. I had been to her house. I knew the neighborhood. I found this out at a school reunion one day. Oh my god. She a sad id the first time the guys came, they were expecting ROCK STARS. She told me the guys were the nicest, most polite gentlemen she’d ever met. She a said that Neil would sit alone in a separate part of the house just reading during breaks. She said that Alex was the funniest person she had ever met. While she told me this my jaw was scraping the ground. 😳😳😳😳😳 The only brush I had with them was for the Clockwork Angels tour. The day of the show I went to work as usual , but when I merged into the highway I had to do so by merging into the bus caravan of the band and crew on the way downtown coming from Detroit. Bud I guess her story is good too. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
