[@assclown759clown5]

I do not care what anyone else says, but these 3 men are the best, the pinnacle, the standard of musicians. And Alex Lifeson, most under rated guitarists in history. 40 plus years of Prog greatest.

[@wordragon]

I would say the greatest band. I know the Beatles are there, but for the technical, melodic, and harmonic ability, Rush is better. Martin created so much of the brilliance of the Beatles, where as Rush used their producers as an addition as opposed to a necessity.

[@spreadbeartroops3917]

Great video, thanks! You're so lucky to claim Rush 😁❤️ The most favourite memorable music experience of my life, was seeing Rush at the O2 arena in London, from one of the boxes. When Geddy sang 'Concert Hall' they brought the lights up and we could see the whole arena with their hands in the air, cheering. Truly unforgettable 🤟

[@EchoesDaBear]

Concert was officially called "Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto" but also known as SARSStock. It came about as a suggestion from the Rolling Stones to help revive Toronto's tourism economy after the SARS outbreak earlier in the year (of which Toronto was under a travel warning). It's estimated to have had a crowd of 450,000 to 500,000 people (it was held at Downsview Park - a former military base, so there was LOTS of space) Unfortunately, due to work commitments, I couldn't make it, but several friends did, and said it was amazing. Apparently, AC/DC put on the best show. Rush (per usual) was spectacular (especially for their hometown crowd!), and the Stones were awesome. Other notables were The Guess Who, The Tea Party (another AMAZING Canadian band - you NEED to check them out - especially a track called 'The River'), & Sam Roberts. There was also the inclusion of Justin Timberlake, which unfortunately drew the ire of the fans - they booed him for most of his set (and again when he joined the Stones) - I guess they were all expecting a 'rock' focused concert!! Anywho, great reaction! There's your history lesson.

[@bradbolger7901]

I was there. When the crowd started boo'ing JT, Keith Richards basically gave the crowd crap! He stood up for JT wanting to be a part of it. Amazing energy. Amazing day. A newbie at the time, Sam Roberts was pretty amazing, AC/DC were the best! But everyone was fantastic!

[@oscarwildeghost]

Rush has never gotten the respect they deserve. Forty years on still one of my all time favorites.

[@renaissancepoet]

So much joy on Kel's face. You can never go wrong with Rush!

[@robashcraft7841]

Love how they take one of the Stone's more technical pieces and play it like it was nothing, then roll right into Spirit of Radio with it. Just amazing.

[@KS-oi9ym]

Because there isn't much technicality involved with the stones.

[@seeburg220]

This band changed my life and my first concert of them in 1981, started a lifelong appreciation of them. Kudos for picking it !

[@0okamino]

When Geddy is thanking Toronto for coming out to support the festival, from the looks of that crowd, he clearly really means THE WHOLE CITY! :D

[@user-gi5dl9ex8l]

I was there in front of Geddy . There were over half million people there in Downsview Park Toronto!

[@stevechristy3244]

Yea Geddy mentions in the video that they were in their home town, which is Toronto. Also what the song YYZ stands for is the Toronto airport.

[@Axess-sv8nq]

I NEVER played to that MANY people. But, even playing to several hundred to 1,000 people - when they cheer and yell, you can feel it through your feet as the stage vibrates and it becomes a wind that hits you straight on! It's stunning! I remember seeing people in the crowd singing my own lyrics along with me. There are no words to describe that feeling! It's just amazing!

[@tonypalombinijr2946]

I played soccer at a big high school back in the 80's and can recall playing in a packed stadium with about 3000 people. The feeling is out of this world. Can't imagine what a crowd of this size would be like.

This has everything that makes live performance magical. A truly great song, musical virtuosity, and a band that works incredibly hard to please their audience while also enjoying themselves on stage.

[@crisspetersen5506]

I am a huge fan of soooo many bands, and as a musician I respect a ton of great musicians! No matter how much I identify with the many influences I have, I still can never bring myself to credit a band for their musical prowess more than Rush. They are just some of the greatest musicians of all time, and they write complex music that moves so seamlessly. When most bands attempt to change time signatures a lot, it feels clunky or sudden, but never when Rush does it. So freaking smooth!

[@JeromeDukes]

I was at this concert, and I am from Toronto. This concert was in 2003 and it was for the SARS epidemic that broke out in Toronto. The concert was held to quell fears about traveling to Toronto as far as tourism goes. The concert was headline by The Rolling Stone. Other notable bands included AC/DC and The Guess Who. Of interest, was all the legendary acts that participated at this benefit. The odd ball act was Justin Timberlake who got an afternoon slotting. Considering the legends that were to take the stage, people weren't happy that JT got a billing in the lineup. So when he came up to preform, people threw water bottles at him. I'm sure you might be able to find clips of him dodging bottles during his performance. Mick Jagger, felt sorry for him as asked him to preform one song with the Stones. Some in crowd didn't take kindly to that, and started throwing bottles at him. You might be able to find a clip of Keith Richards asking somebody in the crowd to punch the guy throwing the water bottle. When questioned about that Richards said; "I don't care about JT, it my guy I care about" LOL. Anyway, it was a great concert and I believe there was 450,000 people there. AC/DC stole the show but for me I went to see Rush. Never was a big Stones fan. By the way, this was a great reaction. I loved Kel gasp as she see the crowd, especially as they clapped in unison to the chorus (which is a staple for Spirit of the Radio). In regards to Peart, he uses both grips traditional and matching in performances.

[@timprismusic376]

Neil, Alex and Geddy are freaking untouchable!!! And this is my favorite song of theirs. Thank you for sharing :)

@Putting on the foil That sounds NUTS. Awesome though. Awe-inspiring size of the crowd there.

[@sirslice7531]

The song was inspired by a radio station (CFGM) and its slogan "The Spirit of Radio" from the place where this concert took place... Toronto (at Downsview Park). By the way... the (SARS) concert had an attendance of 500,000. The first 150,000 tickets sold out and sold for less than $22. I remember when the concert turned into a free event. All this to tell the world that (despite what the world media was reporting) Toronto was not taken over by a SARS epidemic (it was pretty serious though). My niece was there.

Dan Aykroyd hosted the event. It was awesome day with 1/4 mile long barbeque and a hot sunny day. They only made 2 arrests the entire day. I managed to get a concert poster. A copy is now at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. They released a 2 DVD collection in the USA but i have a longer 3 DVD collection i picked up in Canada with more stuff.

I was at that show. It was actually a sub-par performance by Rush standards. They had audio issues (Neil couldn't hear Alex for a while), had not been touring and only had a few weeks to rehearse and get back into performance shape. I still thought they were great. "Paint it Black" was the first time I'd ever heard Rush perform a cover. I was freaking out! AC/DC gave an amazing performance as well. They set the bar too high for the Stones to clear!

[@johnsmith-ee8pk]

The Stones were so exhausted when they arrived at the 4 seasons hotel from Europe to do this one show. It was so hot ever there they said. And it was scorching hot at the SARS show and the Stones had only one quick chance to plan out what they would do, sound check, and see every artist there that begged to meet them. When they came into the hotel they walked straight to the bar and I had a drink with them. Rush is a great live band. Close to half a million people.

[@nobodyimportant6851]

I was there too and I agree, Rush and AC/DC stole the show. Couldn't ask for better weather, hot, hot, hot and sunny. The Guess Who was right up there too, (in my opinion). I'll never forget they did the long version of their anti-American song, "American Woman" and everyone around me was singing it like it was the 2nd Canadian anthem. (Check out the video and the term "more cowbell" has a whole new meaning, LOL).

Rich, Neil started using traditional grip in the mid-90s, and recorded the entire Test For Echo album (1996) using that grip. Then, in the subsequent Test For Echo tour, and the tours afterward, he tended to use some of both grips. The more time passed, the less frequent you saw him use that grip in the live shows.

Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto was a benefit rock concert that was held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on July 30, 2003. It was also known as "Toronto Rocks", "Stars 4 SARS", "SARSStock", "SARSfest", "SARS-a-palooza", the "SARS concert", or, more descriptively, "The Rolling Stones SARS Benefit Concert". Estimated to have between 450,000 and 500,000 people attending the concert, it is the largest outdoor ticketed event in Canadian history, and one of the largest in North American history.

[@groovymcnasty]

Looking back with the post-Covid perspective, this concert took place after the SARS pandemic to show it was safe to be back in Toronto. the Stones were the headliners-hence Paint it Black tribute into. The Stones rehearsed every tour in Toronto and used their celebrity to show Toronto was safe.That is Downsview
