My dad was a massive rush fan, saw them like 6-10 times and unfortunately was never able to take me to a rush concert. My parents got front row seats during R40 tour and said they were as amazing as ever. Truly a sad moment for rock and roll and especially for drumming with him gone

[@nomad1517]

When you realize Neil wrote most of their songs, including this one, and you actually read the lyrics, kind of brings a tear to your eye, because they lyrics are so well laid out, it paints a picture in your head, and pretty much every song is based on pure freedom and life in its purest form. Rush is and always will be timeless and rust proof. I wish they had a museum made for them entirely.

Lyrics

[@fredscribner3688]

Neil got this song from a story he read in road and track and gives credit to the author in the liner notes to moving pictures. Years later he arranged to meet the guy and they rode their motor cycles through the Appalachians to Rush's next concert where he was given the vip treatment. 😊

I always really loved this song a lot. I’m glad it’s not just me. This is a gateway drug offered by the players to become associated with freedom by providing an exciting escapist thrill-ride so we could learn to enjoy our minds. Listen, millions of people have come to the teachings of Peart through his always excellent efforts. He taught us that we are above our captivity. He taught us how to see it. He rushed in and saved us. I have an argument that Peart and Co. are QAnon. The graphic novel of 2112 just about proves it timing wise. But, either way, whoever is the Q Group, certainly have listened to and found their hearts for freedom partly by listening to, reading, and understanding the messages given to us by Rush. So, I salute the dynamic trio for soldering for nearly fifty years bringing millions upon millions of us to our senses and priming the pump which is now draining swamps worldwide in unison. We are all Q now. I think Rush definitely deserves a humanitarian award for their lifetime of service and making it sound good. Always outside of the system. Working. I wonder how many people get this point? Neil said that it was great to finally be “indicted” into the Rock Hall of Fame. Lots probably thought him ignorant till he then said, “Perhaps we will one day indict all of you?” It was a play on induct. Well, here we are. Could Peart through intention and practice actually become a functioning king through off-beat ensyncopation self-appointment? I think that is what we saw. He doesn’t like people to fawn over him. He hates it. It made him reclusive to spare the embarrassment. However, others took the message to heart and also became individually excellent at something and then organized to save the world. This is my opinion based of hundreds of facts and observations which go back decades and come to the present and form a united, goal oriented, path towards the love of truth. Thank you gentlemen Gary, Alex, and Neil. Congratulations! You have changed the world. Carter from Louisiana

Kris Carter I believe that his pedal set is called Taurus Bass Pedals, by Moog.

[@richgouette]

....the guy is a monster

[@stlflyguy]

MIDI didn't exist at this time...to paraphrase Geddy "we were doing MIDI before MIDI." The Taurus pedals are also triggering other synths...probably the OBXa or Jupiter 8. Listen closely you hear both a lower bass (Taurus) sound and a higher string (OBXa or Jupiter 8).

[@donsmith5385]

Lol this concert was pre-midi! The pedal your referring too is a synth al it’s own, it a Moog Taurus bass synth

"Red Barchetta" is, in my opinion, about as close to songwriting perfection--the synergistic marriage of great lyrics to great music--as there is.

Incidentally, at the one-lane bridge, 76 people were left stranded at the riverside.

People sometimes wonder why this era produced the best music and best musicians ever. I’m only 34 but I know why… this was it, our freedom as a society & electronics were at the right spot, while there are pieces of it that have reached new heights society has become obsessed with other things, spending all the time you have growing up playing an instrument for fun isn’t a thing kids really do anymore. Instead of 3 great friends with amazing talents coming together and forming Rush they’re playing Rocket league, maybe they’re really good and make money from it, but it has no impact on society and won’t move future generations.

[@shannonbiggers3312]

@POINTTWOFIVEMOA It did that to me.

[@canadianbacon587]

This is the sound of my childhood as a Canadian. I didn’t appreciate them as much as I should have. For the three of them to do this for so many years and, remain away from the temptations of the industry, and always be professional, is something to admire. On top of all that, we get masterpieces like this. RUSH is one of a kind in almost every way. Thank you for the music and, rip professor.

[@Rubbernecker]

Love the name Canadian Bacon... Seems I have a bootleg by the same name....

[@christiangasior4244]

Holy shit this sounds incredible. They're always incredible live but this fedelity is ridiculous. Every bass note is so clear.

[@v6742]

Little did these 3 kids jamming this song on stage here know that they would be super popular and well known in their future lifetimes ahead of themselves. With extreme effort and talent this will be the final outcome.

[@joolslaloosh]

I miss you professor. ♥️

[@joeomalley2835]

Red Barchetta has to be one of the smoothest songs ever. Blast it while driving on the highway.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

I freaking agree with you on this one!

[@cyberprompt]

I imagine Neil's travelling that trippy road in the afterlife on some heavenly motorcycle.

[@talentstolen5537]

i pray that neil is in Heaven. He definetly knew somethings about the Bible and God. a few examples are distant early warning when at the end of the song he writes "Absolom' who is king Davids son who wants the throne his father has,before he is ready for it. Hence the title"distant early warning" and at the end of "big money" he writes "big money got no soul". And Jesus said" verily verily I say unto you,how hardly is he who has riches to enter into The Kingdom of God". so i pray that Neil and us all have believed in The Lord Jesus Christ as our personal savior so we might all be forgiven of our sins and those who are no longer with us, taken into The Kingdom of Heaven. Amen

[@thediehardarkansasrazorbak7288]

@Tom Bombadil Roman's 6' 7.."He who dies is acquitted of sin."....I live by that..And I wholeheartedly agree with you.

[@jerrymarlow5453]

A timeless piece even live.

[@llsmith69]

My friend had a red Chevy Baretta in the late 80s. It was OUR Red Barchetta. Vrooooommm!!!

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Corsica Beretta was a good run for the bow tie indeed well made car it did last well

[@69vader]

When MTV was great! first seen this concert on MTV in 1981, still awesome footage!

[@dennisCt68]

now mtv only plays reality shows and rap videos.

[@daveRcash1]

Is it just me or does Rush makes bass guitar seem AWESOME?

[@stonedstupid4707]

Dave Rowe so does primus

[@WordChicken-mk7el]

Baron Mike Mangini But rush inspired les clay

[@IVR02]

I don't know what you mean by "seem". The bass guitar *is* an awesome instrument. It's just that Geddy Lee is a fucking legend-no, a god-when it comes to bassists.

[@stridur8846]

Stoned Stupid i was going to say those exact same words but you beat me to it a year before i could

[@tmage23]

Geddy's playing a Rickenbacker 4001 which is well known for it's punchy low end. It really pops through the mix.

[@jonathanbecker8935]

Can't believe Neil isn't alive! It still doesn't seem real. He was truly one of the greatest musicians who ever lived! Rush was the music of my generation, and will be with me until I'm gone!

[@jimerispaha5781]

It’s amazing how much music 3 guys can play. Geddy is amazing. Plays bass, sings, and keyboards.

[@CaryBettenhausen3]

Live rock and roll simply doesn't get any better than this. Astoundingly awesome!

All Time Driving Tune, no doubts. I have driven at some ridiculous speeds listening to this song, then YYZ keeps it totally alive! Thanks RUSH!

[@dale8809]

Holy crap those computer graphics were awesome. Haha. This is such a great version of this song.

[@joint2joint2k]

That outro section is so absolutely gorgeous.

[@behrendbeck1785]

Fits the song. It has some innocence to it

[@bobbyterrito8011]

The most cinematic 6 minutes of music ever written. There’s more story content in this one song than anything Hollywood is producing now a days. The imagery is so strong. I feel that even though we’ve never seen these characters and this setting with our own eyes, everyone who is listening pretty much has the exact same images running through their mind. That’s why Rush, to me, is the greatest band of all time. No other band would have the ambition, the courage, the forward thinking, or even the talent to try and attempt something like this.

[@kurtboehm4095]

Amen. It made the me the Texas Man I am!!!!

[@tanksandturtles1131]

That guitar player sounds incredible

[@gavinmonk373]

lol nice

[@SuperSparrow45]

Yeah. Too bad the guitarist turned out to be a drunk male prostitute.

[@rawdonwolf1167]

He sure is Eh ! ;) Incredibly Awesome !

[@RollinBones]

That's Alex Lifeson. His playing gives you life, son.

[@pauljohnson3340]

So Alex's real name is Fred Garvin?

[@goofyiest]

To quote Rush, "Moving Pictures just hangs together better than any other album." RIP Neil, your music will live on.

[@bbro6154]

1/10/2020 remembering Neil Peart. Thoughts and prayers to his family including Alex and Geddy. Thanks for the great music...

[@donquixote...]

OMG, I loved this tune... Truly a movie that played over and over in my head...

[@joeallen9898]

Great comment, I totally agree this song paints an awesome set of pictures in your head ; moving pictures!

[@delta1404]

+Joe Allen -- True. Very cinematic. Musical, lyrical storytelling.

[@kathyt2417]

Yaaasss! I was IN that car, racing down a country road! lolol ;)

[@baconlatte]

At the peak of their power. Alex's solo is perfection... truly sounds like a car taking off.

[@MickLoud999]

Neil can't just keep a simple beat can he? Damn every song is an adventure. You, sometimes, have to listen to a song several times just to follow an individual player. Classic.

[@focusedman5759]

I first heard this truly original and brilliant song in my dad's car when I was about 10 in 1984👌..now in 2022 my 10 year old son hears this in my car and loves the mighty RUSH....🤔I wonder if his "potential" 10 year old son will hear this masterpiece when he's my age.....I do hope so🤞

[@quadracept576]

Sounds almost identical to the studio version, damn!

[@brewhaha1555]

And is what made this whole LP so amazing.

[@brewhaha1555]

I'm not saying i'm old, but when i saw them, the stage and video was exactly like this video.

[@kimmackenzie5002]

@@brewhaha1555 Yes, and it was amazing. Best live rock show from 78 to 88.

[@BBaum05]

Best comment. Not a lot of bands can pull that off.

[@JohnReganSeattle]

Thank you Canada for Rush.

[@brandonbell2135]

My uncle kept a 2010 Harley Davidson Dyna Fat Bob in his shop for me, because when I was about 15 or so, I told him I’d buy it when he gets sick of it. The color code of the bike is scarlet red. I named it after this song, and every time I listen to this, it brings a tear to my eye.

[@chrissett4245]

Pure Pleasure ...... Seattle live 1974, 75,76, 77,78 Took my grown daughter to that short Moving Pictures tour. RIP Neil 😢 Your truly missed

[@andrewpetik2034]

I am in tears and in awe..... I can hear very few differences between this live version and the LP version..... Three consummate musicians. God's speed Mr. Neil Peart!
