Wait until you watch the live performance of the song “Xanadu” from the Exit Stage Left tour. A Rush performance that will leave you speechless.

[@donna3465]

You know a band is awesome…

[@alekhidell]

When they played in Rio, the band had been together for almost 30 years and had never played in Brazil. For those fans, this was something they’d waited a lifetime for. I saw them about 10 times, and met them very briefly after a gig in 1980. Neil’s loss crushed me. You must check out Neil’s Frankfurt solo. You’re mind will be blown. There is no studio version. You will thank me I promise.

[@Star_R666]

3 men make an incredible wall of sound but watching them love the shit out of playing their music is amazing.

[@JeromeDukes]

Best band I've ever seen live and I've seen many bands.

[@JeromeDukes]

@@gsxrkz Yeah, I love Floyd and seen them a few times myself. No doubt a great show. Maybe I should put it this way, best power trio live? Regardless, both are legendary bands.

Rush song 2112 is in 7 parts and 20 minutes long.studio version. Enjoy the ride

[@jennhurl]

Rush Army in the house 🙋🏼‍♀️ A couple things - you wondered if Neil practiced a lot. The answer is oh hell yes!! Every single day Neil woke with the attitude he could get better. Even as good as he was he continued to take lessons earlier on. He was a perfectionist but also one of the most humble men ever. Keep in mind he also wrote the lyrics to many of these songs. Always remember YYZ is pronounced Y-Y-Zed. If you go back & listen to the first few seconds you'll hear Neil playing the letters YYZ spelled out in Morse code. Alex heard the airport call sign when he flew into the Toronto International Airport near their hometown & it stuck with him. The Rio crowd was epic! Only Rush fans can sing a song with no lyrics. I could go on all day about Rush but this is already too long. 🤩 Keep going live - you'll love it. For their masterpiece instrumental sit back & listen to "La Villa Strangiato". Studio is actually my preferred on it so you can hear every detail.

[@gingeroo5765]

I know, I've already posted this... but here it is again. RusH is composed of 3 compulsive perfectionist, and genuine good people that do not have any the ego trips that have lead to the demise of many successful bands. Truly GREAT musicians that are also truly great friends.... Resulting in some of the cleanest, tightest most amazing music ever made.

I learned Alex’s name after this song (decades ago) it was all Geddy and Neil, but Alex is brilliant too.

[@matthewdrake4385]

The crowd was singing along to an instrumental. That says it all right there. Rush had great lyrics in their songs, but their music really stood out. If you want to see something neat , check out a crowd at a Green Day show singing Bohemian Rhapsody. Amazing!

[@davidriddick82]

They are singing the bass beat, that riff #ROCKINRIO ABSOLUTELY INSANE CROWDS

[@troyottosen8722]

David, So true about the Rio crowd! Amazing! They know their music!!!

[@spreadbeartroops3917]

My favourite music memory - we saw Rush Live in the London O2 and were sat in one of the viewing boxes. When Geddy sang 'concert hall' in spirit of radio, all the lights went up and we saw the entire arena cheering. A cherished memory ❤️RIP Neil xx

[@stacyboss3656]

I was fortunate to see Rush in concert back in Oct. 2010 when Rush was on their Time Machine tour. Their stop was in an amphitheater in West Palm Beach, Florida.

[@federov100]

You know, part of the reason Peart sounds so amazing is because Getty's bass line adds emphasis and definition to his drum notes-and visa versa.

[@EvonZundel]

You have great taste! Love Rush! Miss Neil!

[@ritchmoore1442]

Only Rush can make Morse code sound good. YYZ is the IATA airport identification code of Toronto Pearson International Airport, near Rush's hometown. The band was introduced to the rhythm as Alex Lifeson flew them into the airport. A VHF omnidirectional range system at the airport broadcasts the YYZ identifier code in Morse code. Peart said in interviews later that the rhythm stuck with them. Peart and Geddy Lee have both said "It's always a happy day when YYZ appears on our luggage tags

[@dianaa9826]

[@zoniekat]

The guitarist Alex Lifeson, is so under-rated. The bassist, Geddy Lee had his solo throughout the song, like George said, but so did Alex. His guitar is often the foundation of the songs. Geddy was awesome though! Such talent in this band! Love you guys! Always look forward to your videos.

[@dentonatteberry6083]

[@gingeroo5765]

NOW... YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY RUSH HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL-TIME FOR MY LAST 40 YEARS❤️ They only have about a hundred more songs for you to enjoy getting blown away over. IMPOSSIBLE TO CHOOSE one talent over an other in this band because they are EACH, EQUALLY, 1000% MASTERS at their musicianships. **Its literally IMPOSSIBLE to choose which songs to recommend over others to you. If you can’t decide where to start, just close your eyes and point to one of their lists and pick one that way. You’ll NEVER go wrong. And if something doesn’t appeal to you totally at first, I PROMISE YOU, if you FORCE yourself to re-listen to it a couple more times, NO MATTER WHAT THE SONG, you WILLLL start to like it by the 3rd time and in the end, end up LOVING IT just like allll the others. If you listen to one of their songs literally 100 times, you WILL always hear something somewhere you NEVER heard allllll the other times before-- even after DECADES of listening to it. NEVER seen anything like it before. Here’s the proper way to introduce yourself to a new Rush song so that you’ll understand what’s going on AND you’ll enjoy it the most:: 1. Just LISTEN to the studio version 1 time by itself. 2. Next, listen to it WHILE READING LYRICS. 3. Repeat WITH LYRICS as many more times until you have MEMORIZED some of the lyrics. Their lyrics area KEY COMPONENT to LIKING most of their songs (believe it or not- even though they are phenomenal musicians... just TRUST) 4. Now, you are ready to enjoy them LIVE! (They sound PERFECT live!!) REACTION SUGGESTIONS - DO ALLLLL WITH LYRICS or LIVE ONLY!!! Rush didn’t produce very many regular “Official Music Videos” to go along with their songs as most groups do (like pop artists do) But, the few that they DID create SUCKED SOOO BAD! (The music was great but the video part wasn’t is what I mean) I would NEVVER EVERRR suggest watching an “Official Video” put out by them that goes with their songs because that was the ONE THING they TOTALLY SUCKED AT. Live videos or still-pic with lyrics are fine though. SUGGESTIONS: Subdivisions Natural Science Clockwork Angels Xanadu 2112 Territories Working Man Closer to the Heart

Some song trivia for you: YYZ is the transmitter code for the Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Toronto. The band lived in Toronto, and therefore flew regularly out of that airport. The intro to the song is apparently Morse code for "YYZ”.
