Rush - The Trees

Rush - Broon's Bane and The Trees (Exit...Stage Left)

[@silhouettoofaman2935]

Without a doubt my favorite version of The Trees. It's got it all: A nice, serene intro with Broon's Bane, a hypnotic ending solo, and every rocking bit from the original in between!

[@jmpsthrufyre]

Yes, my favorite version as it was the first time hearing. Also brought me on a life long journey of Mr Neil Pearts writings

[@jamiehale2136]

They are true musical artists Ahead of their time Musical genius Sheer genius ❤️🇨🇦🎸🤍

I am actually on the cover of the Rush, Exit Stage Left album cover. Look right next to the ladies dress on the cover, and there I am working security (white T-shirt, red sleeves). I worked center stage security for concerts in Buffalo NY back in '81 and saw these guys live. My job was to stand center stage (in front of the stage) and make sure no one tried to hop up on stage. Worked 125+ concerts. No one was closer to the band than I was at these concerts, just a few feet away, sometimes just 3 feet. ... AHHH the memories.

[@owenandrew8108]

as a buffalo native its cool to know that the picture for the album was taken at a local venue (albeit a venue that no longer exists)

[@mightyV444]

The way that bass comes back in just after 4:19 gets me every time! Love those cowbell parts, too! :-))

[@robertpinazza4043]

Wood blocks, not CB’s.

[@mightyV444]

@@robertpinazza4043 - No, those are defo cowbells and agogo-bells from 4:58 onwards. The woodblocks can be heard in the intro of 'Xanadu', though :-)

[@GB30505]

Absolutely epic. Must listen B2B with Xanadu *on this album* for proper effect. Captures the essence of 70's fantasy culture scene.

[@mightyV444]

@Grant Burke - Add 'Jacob's Ladder' and 'Freewill' to that! :-))

[@nirishcontroversy]

RUSH are absolutely brilliant live

[@caseysniper308]

when i was a kid and went from 33 1/3 album to cassette and went to sleep every night listening to rush on a cheap sanyo walkman! best time of my life! RUSH WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST. R.I.P. NEIL.

[@HarmonicalTap]

This is the album where I first heard Broons Bane then taught myself how to play it on guitar....~

[@lindalapierre6892]

Awesome I think it's beautiful

[@scottbridgeforth507]

Thank You Neil for the gifts beyond Price almost Free

[@grantchesin3202]

I used to fall asleep to side #2 of the cassette every night as a teenager. Now at 53... when I listen to it I remember how great life was back then . Time went by so slowly & a summer would last a life time. I've seen RUSH... #4 Times in concert and they have delivered the goods... except the last time we saw them in Atlanta.... Both myself and my wife were shocked to see them phoning it in. Not worth the money. It's sad because Neil died like 2 years later and it literally was one of the worst shows I've ever seen....and I've been to over 200 concerts. The other 3 times we saw them they were Fabolous. Especially the ROLL THE BONES TOUR. My wife and I were 1st row of the balcony , with no one in front of us .They litterly played one of the best shows I've ever seen. FUCKING MIND BLOWING!!! The TREES is one of my favorite RUSH songs , and I personally think that RUSH'S SIGINALS is one of the top 10 CD"s ever made. The #10 CD"s that you could have on a desert island and no other music. SIGNALS.....JUST ROCKS FROM THE OPENING SONG TO THE LAST. & I THINK ITS THERE BEST WORK. EXIT... STAGE LEFT....is a close second.

[@AbnerChamate]

GUYS The good thing about Broon´s Bane is that you need to listen and play on your guitar the rest of this masterpiece TOGETHER with THE TREES. Why Rush does not play like this always is a mistery to me. Afraid of classical music maybe.

[@nadel-fu4wz]

The beginning is beautiful. The whole song is amazing of course, but the melody in the beggining is just beautiful.

[@teray45]

“Mr Alex Lifeson,on the classical guitar”

[@robertpinazza4043]

AL rules!!

[@michaelhughes3273]

Mesmerizing.

[@megametalusmusique8286]

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@G274Me]

This is perfection

[@tacotele6819]

I wish they would go back and remix this album and bring the guitar up more.

[@jamiehale2136]

Listen to this... Then Listen to the opening of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica... No one and I mean no one can convince me that RUSH didn't influence Metallica and countless other Rock bands ❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@chrstphrschmitt]

Used to think Red Barchetta was the best Rush song. Wrong, The Trees, unbelievable!

[@ravaturn4206]

I need o check outt moore rush this song has got so much power its like early blues to metal for me

[@jmpsthrufyre]

Yup You really do

[@kyrocklover]

Great song

[@juliesnow5542]

The end of this song going into Xanadu is why this band is so amazing.

[@VB-vl1tg]

The Professor Rules 👍

[@TM-qj6io]

He most certainly does!

[@TM-qj6io]

The greatest my opinion.

[@jerryboone1093]

Great upload. Volume...yes!

[@juliesnow5542]

No monitors on the floor for Alex Lifeson. Side fills. Cool.

[@didiermagris5503]

Magistral interprétation ☆☆☆

[@ralphjones3804]

Broons Bane is enchanting.

[@kevinhillhouse8403]

The 1 thumbs down means a liberal heard this song and he or she wants to protest.

[@jamesgould7825]

Good one Trumptard...

[@jamesgould7825]

Liberals make the best music😉

[@richardjohnson474]

Which is odd because I thought liberals were supposed to be into Trees,You know like hugging them.

[@nickmorante8903]

I'm in between in this argument bc I'm a huge trump guy.. rush are my favorite band but they're SUPER liberal lmao. Only reason I never dropped them is because they never brought political names into their music. A thinking mans band

[@jamesgould7825]

@@nickmorante8903 that's funny because Trump isn't exactly the thinking mans type...if you were able to really think about it but you're a Trumpanzee who can't see the forest for the trees

[@MarcosJ-mq4lk]

Compare this to Zepp!

[@jamiehale2136]

How many references are there to their songs? Biblical references Absalom Absalom Absalom ? And the meek shall inherit the earth ? Jacobs Ladder ? Just a few

[@jamiehale2136]

God bless RUSH
