@kevmed646 ай бұрын
No need to rank. Alex has his own unique, iconic, inimitable style and sound. With all great guitarists, you can immediately hear their unique "signature" sound and style - Alex, David Gilmore, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Walsh, Angus Young, Tom Scholz, Mark Knopfler, even The Edge all have their own unique signature style and sound and are iconic in their own right. Pointless to rank legends.

I saw both. And each was terrific. Led Zeppelin only once [sadly] at Knebworth in August 1979; and Rush twice: in early 1979 (Liverpool Empire) on the Hemispheres Tour and May 2013 (Manchester MEN Arena) on the Clockwork Angels Tour. I'm also glad I finally got to see Cream (at their reunion shows in 2005). Those three bands are connected = power, energy and great playing :¬)

To see Neil play half a set on a retro-style set up even against his own comfort and preferences and to see Geddy bust out the Rick's was just so satisfying.

There is a channel "stickhits" that remasters Rush videos and has Xanadu from the Subdivisions Tour. Now, this video was great, considering Geddy's voice isn't what it once was and the complex demands of the arrangement. The one from the other channel will blow your mind. I'm an "enthusiast" of the Triumvirate and they played Xanadu note for note exactly like the studio version from AFTK. I've seen every band there is since the 70's and no other band recreate their work on stage like Alex, Geddy and Neil. They joke around like, "You're playing pretty good, momma Lee would be impressed!". "You look fabulous in that red blazer!".

Love the single cam with no cuts. Visually this is better that the produced concert videos. And that doubleneck Ric is amazing.

I am glad I saw them in 2010 in USANA amphitheater in West valley City Utah. They have been my favorite band since 1978

Seen these guys many times at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Canada. Musicianship between these three is unbelievable. Many times the crowd was just silent and in awe.

I loved this tour so much!!!! I'm so glad I was able to witness one, if not the best band ever!! I went to at least one show every tour since the Signals Tour. I was trying to see Rush right after I discovered them during the Moving Pictures tour but my parents thought I was too young but that's ok because I feel so fortunate that I lived during this time period to see Rush live!! RIP Neil, thanks for all the great drum grooves, fills, solos and lyrics :)

Video is a blessing on so many levels, we can go back and relive musicians and actors that have long passed and feel that connection as if they were right there with us. Rush is family. The true 3 Stooges. I have drummed now for 30 years under Peart's style. Thank you sir. 🍀🍀

Was fortunate enough to be at this concert, riding on my uncles shoulders at the age of 10. Alex inspired me to play guitar, Geddy to sing my heart out even if i sound like shit, and Neil taught me to express myself. Rush is the music of our souls.

Saw this tour in Buffalo. What a phenomenal show!! It was worth the 2.5 hr. drive from Syracuse and taking 1/2 the day off since I didn't get back til 3 AM

21 times I've seen this remarkable band in concert. 7th row dead in front of Alex on their final tour. First Rush show was 1978 for the Farewell to Kings tour. Words can't describe the feel I have for this band. So unique. One of the best live shows I've ever seen. Still can't believe their done and Neil's gone. So sad, but so many great memories. Rush has inspired so many musicians both professionally and first starters. Greatest trio of all time

The best power trio ever. They set the bar so high, I dont think anyone can surpass them. I wish they could last forever but father time catches up with us all. A very special band.

Five years ago...Lots of great memories, so glad I got to go with my sister. That was my 3rd show and we sat on Geddy's side of the stage. Took a picture of the screen with the R40 logo and have used it on my phone. Rush Forever!

one of the most underrated guitarists. Yes, Clapton is great, Hendrix was great, but I've never seen them do what Alex does in this song.....
