RUSH - Where's My Thing? & Neil Peart Drum Solo (live) 1992 - Roll The Bones Tour

[@patton303]

Even through a crappy camcorder microphone, the absolute power and tone of Neil Peart is clear and undeniable.

[@mattisimonen4194]

Neil was the Best drummer in the world.. No doubt..

[@markkayehl6965]

R.I.P. Neil Peart. Your music, and your genius, will outlive us all.

[@elieverett5608]

you probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of weeks xD

[@kristopheralexis9911]

@Eli Everett definitely, have been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :)

Ladies and gentlemen the professor on the drum kit👏👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@basedsalty6970]

Thé master at his work.

[@lindapryor3747]

I’m so proud to have watched these virtuosos in my lifetime. The awesomeness that is RUSH cannot be replaced. Alex, Geddy, and Neil-no one can replace their creativeness and art!

[@RS35cyl]

Great video! Luv the crowd reactions. Neil was the best!

[@timphelan2873]

June 27th, 1992, Alpine valley wisconsin. That was my first Rush show, and on this tour. it was phenominal. It was the second to lastvdate on the RTB tour, and it changed my life! It's awesome to see some vids from other dates on that tour!

[@Kidgloves1984]

Neil was freaking dynamite! His legacy and legendary status will live on forever!

[@Harold-nh5ff]

❤ there'll never be another!! BEST THERE EVER WAS! AND BEST THERE EVER WILL BE. NEIL WAS ON FIRE THAT NIGHT.

[@HellMut50]

Saw this Tour, 1992 Frankfurt/Festhalle... RIP Mr Neil Peart

[@kevinmcgiffin10]

Classic professor❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Gives me goosebumps listening\watching this solo.

[@apieceofdirt4681]

Damn those Ludwigs and 22" Tama Gong Bass Drum sound amazing!! So much better than those horrible overpriced overrated DW drums he used for almost 20 years. I kept hoping he’d change but nope. NEIL IS ON FIRE IN THIS SOLO. He’s probably STILL smoking after this.

[@scotty3034]

Thank you. I fucking hated those DW drums. Not sure what he was hearing with those things. But the Ludwigs and of course The Tama’s were incredible.

[@robinjohnson6301]

@@scotty3034 Really? I thought the drum sound on Different Stages 1997 recordings was his best live sound ever and those were DW drums. Also really like the drum sound on Snakes and Arrows live. For me a lot of his Tama and Ludwig drum sounds lack low end, especially in the toms.

[@progmeup]

@@robinjohnson6301 I really don't like the sound of Different Stages but I think this may also be down to the mixing and mastering (too loud!). Not sure about different drums but in general, the band's sound started to suffer after Counterparts IMO.

[@maziu27]

@@robinjohnson6301 I think the only good dws he used was on t4e

[@nickavenoso7851]

They just sounded flat to me and sometimes you could barely hear over Alex and Geddy. His drum sound from 87-94, is great. In the early 70’s he used Slingerland’s which had that kind of gritty sound.

[@operating]

Love this song played live especially knowing it was vibrating throughout that auditorium.

[@TurboJimbo]

RUSH in concert. Nothing was better 👍👍👍

[@johnnymb100]

Sometimes these found footage recordings bring out the real feel energy of the live show better than the official ones.

[@garyporter8153]

From first show in Reno in 77 to the last show at the Forum, and 66 in between...Man I miss these guys.

[@christophernewton3174]

just so fookin fabulous . The professor doing his genius, something ,about this recording , live quality and great appreciative audience. Love it

[@stephanschultz35]

Saw them on that tour at Wembley Arena. What a treat and a privelage.

[@Xzonza1]

This is pretty baller audio for a bootleg. A nice slice of Rush history, RIP, Neil.

[@rush741]

EScotty2112 There’s lots of high quality bootlegs from this tour available to download for free.

[@marcsmusic8182]

Thanks for sharing that video...one of his best solos 👍👍

[@trevormcmanis]

I went to every show in New York and New Jersey during this tour. Probably my favorite Tour...

[@brendanward2257]

He made the drums SING!!!

[@kenflagg]

This was my first Rush show. Magicians, all three of them.

[@thediehardarkansasrazorbak7288]

Class is in session THE PROFESSOR HAS ARRIVED!!!!

[@Jeff-o-Lee]

Geddy's Red Wal has a really nice sound. I've read somewhere where he said it had a darker tone than his Black Wal. But, Wal Basses are a different beast when it comes to their electronics. With the high pass filter like the Alembics and the bright switch with the push/pull volume knob. Forget about it!!!

[@jamesnoble8205]

I'd love to have been able to play his red Wal. Even if it was very boinky and plinky sounding compared to the fat tones of the Ric and Fender.

[@IAmInfinitus208]

@@jamesnoble8205 It sounded more trebley, but regardless a welcome addition to his bass tone! I would love to own one besides the Ric and Jazz!

[@menswear2112]

The synths in this albums always been a favorite of mine

[@hjustice1713]

By far Neil has to be one of the best drummers this world has ever seen, Fight with me about it cause your going to loose

[@jeffa6834]

Thats how you rock and roll.

[@michaelw.carter8729]

I saw this live, February 18th,1992 at the Compaq Center in Houston.

I know. I went to the Monday show!!!

The GOAT. No contest. RIP Professor.

Geddy always has the best hair - great bunch of guys - should be more like them - Go Canadian RoCK - RIP Mr PEART

[@Cleme21]

The perfect band .

[@theanalogkid3763]

Wow! I didn’t know there was such crystal clear footage of this awesome instrumental. The only footage I ever saw was some very grainy and shaky footage from Albany, New York on the same tour.

[@chumaluf]

man i miss him .

[@rickyperaza411]

Alright, well that was fucking awesome.

[@zackthebongripper7274]

I wasn't planning to, but I watched the whole fucking thing. . .Incredible.

Me too.

Splendid!

Back in those days, that drum solo was worth what you paid for a ticket.

Wheres My Thing DOES kick ass!

[@ricdoliveira3075]

Awestruck!!

[@leandrorietjens23]

My great professor...

[@drewper73]

I saw Rush 3 times and the first time was on this tour, in Atlanta, GA, at The Omni. It would've been a week or two after this show. I'm a drummer and have been since 1984, so I feel like I know a thing or two about it. First of all, when I was 14, my friends and I became fully engrossed in all things Rush. Hold Your Fire was the current Rush album, but we were also listening to other albums of theirs. Neil Peart was like nothing I had ever heard. However, I wish he had changed his solos more from tour to tour. If you've heard the solo from the Roll The Bones tour then you've heard the solo from the Test For Echo tour. The solos changed but little by little. He would leave off some things from the previous tour and add new things, especially when the electronics/midiKat came along. Personally, my favorite solo performance is from the Exit Stage Left album. I do understand why he stuck to his formula. He had enough to remember with his drum parts and writing a completely new drum solo every time they hit the road would be rather time-consuming. Maybe he could've done it every few years. Don't get me wrong. I love the professor on the drum set.

[@AEPaterra]

Crazy that on the first part of the drum solo, the "Scars" part - the kick drum isn't in the mix! You can hear it onstage but it's not coming through the house. NBD, just super rare and cool to see mistakes in a Rush show!

[@narflethegarthok256]

Thats the sound of a wal bass folks

[@shaunsteele8244]

really wish I could have seen this tour, but I didn't "discover" Rush until the T4E era. They should release some of these old tours on blu-ray

[@hermanhelmich]

At last Alex gets some footage

[@mjm5081]

❤ ❤... ❤

[@linearrecords12]

That hi hat

[@steved8563]

Whoever taped this was certainly not a musician let a drummer as it took them until the end of the song to realize to pan over to not only Neil but Geddy. The song basically highlights Neil and when he is doing key fills they show Alex! Lol A true Rush fan would know to pan out and in on each at their given parts. The seats videos from must have been nosebleeds as well as the sound for the video is way behind and therefore lacking big time. Love Rush and Love Neil more. Great video just the same because it's Rush and but focus during the song was frustrating. Thank you just the same

[@remotexpolde]

Ha! What a MONSTER! He's built like a Mac Truck! Lmao!!!! I would obviously imagine he goes to the gym.... BUT., Playing like He does............... "Those are muscles that only Drums can build". (if you can hear the voice of Christopher Lee saying that, it's totally believable). We All Miss You Neil. Bless.

[@scotty3034]

Oh so the solo was part IV of the trilogy? Now I get it. 😃

[@tomoflaherty3638]

Hello…. New to Rush fandom. Can someone clue me in to how these backing tracks were being triggered / kept in sync? Thanks in advance!

[@brendanward2257]

His stamina alone

[@progmeup]

Woah, what's Alex doing at the 3 minute mark?!?

[@StickHits]

Hey Snowdog, I finally got a copy of the official version "Casting Lots In Jacksonville" and the quality is un watchable compared to this, this is clearly first gen as opposed to the 100th gen looking version that everyone else seems to have. Where did you get this one?? Can't find it anyone and nobody else seems to know :(

[@seanmitchell609]

Alex invented smart causal! Lol

[@Learnerofthings]

Geddy is so freaking hot here.

[@thibflipple7205]

Why haven't any videos from the early days come to the surface? I know theres the butchered ATWAS recording in black and white, but if that was from the ATWAS tour, they left out the meat and potatoes. No Bytor and the Weenie Dog, and you would think that someone would have footage of the drum solo. I mean... Didn't Geds brother get a lot of footage back in the day? It's like everything we see is post TC Broonsie. And what about the short clip of the Spirit of Radio soundcheck they released a few years ago? What. Someone just pull out a camera for a half a minute and say "Fuck this. I need a beer" and quit filming? And the Pinkpop festival? I've seen the partial Villa tape and the intro to the intro to 2112, but... Where's the beef? Somebody somewhere is holding and it's really starting to chap my hide.Thanks for this gem, though.

[@driftless7134]

I wish Geddy would have broken out the Wal bass during the R40 tour. That would have been awesome.

[@medmac2112]

Me too, that would have been a real treat. It’s sad that with the exception of Roll the Bones they skipped through the entire catalog of the Wal era, PW HYF and Presto on the R40 tour, which happens to be my favourite Rush era.

[@jamesnoble8205]

I think after he switched back to his Fender J bass for Counterparts and everything after he never touched his Wals ever again. He said in an interview that Wals aren't good "rock" basses because they have such a clean polite tone compared to a Ric or Fender Jazz

[@medmac2112]

@@jamesnoble8205 Very true, and you’re right about him never using it again after Counterparts. Kinda a shame, I love that bass.

[@jamesnoble8205]

@@medmac2112 I understood though. They wanted to go back to a more raw powerful sound after the smooth refined pop of RTB & the previous albums. Unless he ran it through an overdrive effect, there's no way he could've gotten a fat aggressive sound out of an active pickup Wal that he did via the Fender Jazz. When they got back in the studio for what became Counterparts he originally had his Wal again and Kevin Shirley the studio engineer told him to put it away it sounds too wimpy and go back to the Fender

[@jimdrums4life499]

Way to focus on Alex strumming 1 chord during every drum fill

[@afrose71]

Seems like they only played this on the Bones tour, and permanently replaced it with "Leave That Thing Alone" after the next album. Was it on any other tour set lists after this?

[@MattKittredge2112]

They brought it back on the Clockwork Angels tour in 2012 - 2013

[@benvankoningsveld]

I think he might have given up on the electronic drums earlier than he wanted in this video.

[@okihinukotog]

やっぱりライブ再現できなかったね！もうテープ流しちゃ存在価値なし！

Oh god - Geddy and the yoga pants...

[@medmac2112]

But he actually pulled them off quite nicely!

[@jamesnoble8205]

Decades before they came back in fashion! I honestly have no idea why he was wearing tights on that tour. It was...odd for a guy lol

[@jona7068]

The person who filmed this clip was pathetic. He/she focused too much on Lifeson on an instrumental track! You couldn't even see Peart and Lee during some of the most amazing parts of "Where's my thing"! What a tragedy!

[@fjb4274]

Neil's awesome, but Alex rules
