Rush - Force Ten - Live 1988

[@fieldfairy9845]

I’ve never seen a more versatile guitar player. Look at all of the different sounds and styles he plays throughout all of Rush’s albums. It’s almost hard to believe that he taught himself how to play the guitar.

[@johnbiddle7865]

I was at this show. They played two nights, i slept in my car between shows. Best band ever !!!!!

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Wow! Amazing!

[@dropoutandretireearly1781]

NUMBER 1 RUSH FAN RIGHT HERE !!!! LOL !!!! LOVE THE STORY !!!! LOVE RUSH !!!!!

[@izzybluegoose]

Some music gets old and tired the more you listen to it. Rush gets better with each listen. I can't explain it ... it just does. My favorite Rush album shifts from time to time ... lately it's HYF ... last month it was Permanent Waves ... before that Farewell to Kings ... before that Moving Pictures ... then All the World's a Stage ... then Snakes and Arrows ... then Grace Under Pressure ... then Hold Your Fire again ... it just never gets old ... how do you choose a favorite?

[@iplaypearldrums7935]

good point

[@scottshields113]

Your favorite is the one you are listening to that moment. Why pick?

[@giacomom2370]

Mine is Signals and has been since forever. IMO their prime. But HYF is in my top 5 without a doubt!

[@oreally8605]

Show of Hands!

[@cardtrix1970]

You...don't; you just "roll with it" just like you've been doing. I've done the same...several times over. Why not?!?

Geddy, skipping around the stage while playing the most difficult bass lines in like, ever. Crowd goes nuts.

[@johnkinney308]

Neil Peart is the force of ten drummers!!! R.I.P Mr. Peart

[@linearrecords12]

Rush is textbook rock n roll. I challenge any band out there who think they can match their musical abilities. you don't sell 45 million records and sell out concert venues for 30 years being an average band

[@adamburling9551]

@Alex Sherstinsky Agree. I believe ( and this is just my opinion but something tells me I'm not alone ) they're the greatest musicians to ever grace the stage.

[@oreally8605]

I'd say U2 but they're energy has wained.

@@oreally8605 Well they had a good run

[@iancouch9688]

That is one seriously good song..I know alot of people don't like 80s rush..I love it..I'm an 80s metal head..so love the melodic sound that they have..bless

No better three man band in the rock era!

[@naughtynonnie4013]

Love Alex and that signature guitar!!!!!!!!!

[@yassassin6425]

Couldn't disagree more. Too thin and processed - Rush's overall sound at the time. Far prefer the organic traditional timber.

[@yassassin6425]

@David Madras I don't "scorn'" it - and I absolutely agree about the clarity. I simply don't like it although I do enjoy much of the material of that era. I also regard it as Peart's lyrical zenith.

[@paulnattress6855]

I was at the Saturday night gig, got home early hours told my kid brother how good it was. He went for the Sunday night gig bought tickets outside the arena He agreed fantastic night.

[@oreally8605]

I quoted "Tough times demand tough talk" on Facebook and everyone thought it was me.

RUSH IS JUST SIMPLY SPECIAL...

[@kennethcordero6983]

I seen every show they did in Buffalo NY the thing I was amazed by was they. Flawless every show

[@adam872]

Neil's mini-fill at 2:24 still gets me every time. The focused power of that moment says everything about him as a drummer to me.

[@shallex5744]

wrong time stamp?

[@adam872]

@@shallex5744 no it's the one I meant

[@shallex5744]

@@adam872 oh you must mean at 2:31 ah i see i got you

[@adam872]

@@shallex5744 take a look at the small fill that Neil plays when hit's a tom, a crash and then very rapidly the cymbal behind him. This is at 2:24. It goes by in a flash, but it's the precision with which he plays it and as I said the focused power that just kills me. I guess you could says it actually ends at 2:24, but it happens quickly.

[@shallex5744]

@@adam872 ah yes at 2:23 i get you of course though i believe he is playing the snare instead of a tom

[@mikey102122]

The "Show of Hands" concert would have been awesome to attend.

[@guvencagil]

A super performance from their very best album.

[@linearrecords12]

im black and i've been a fan of rush since 1982

[@danieltoliaferro3330]

Sherman Hemsley was a fan of the band Yes. They were contemporaries of Rush. Rock on.

[@CikisHelyzet]

.... kill stereotypes. And 1982 for me also! Signals was my first live show. Solidarity.

[@Mrproto]

My favorite song of Rush :) 2021

[@floydjohnson7888]

Lee's part of the instrumental especially resonates with me.

[@adamburling9551]

This is live. They're such perfectionist.

[@shakedydogshake]

Look in, to the eye of the storm…..look out, to the force without form……oh very Heavenly!

[@pjones8404]

Still my favorite sounding drums from Neil. Those Ludwig drum just exploded!! His Blackchrome Slingerlands will always be my favorite looking kit...but all his Ludwig kits sounded spectacular!! And those Zildjians just sound glorious! Was never a fan of his Paragon line cymbals. This is Neil in be ultimate prime form! (Before Freddie Gruber messed him up!) I love this entire tour!!

[@adamburling9551]

The drum solo on this very show is just explosivie, thunderous.

[@adamburling9551]

I agree also on the last part. Nothing against Jazz. I think it's nice. But there seems to be this thing that since jazz drummers have been around longer, they're the most idolized or most aspired to be like. And I just think that the breadth of Neil's abilities goes beyond that. Jazz is certainly a different style, and any style will take a lot of time to learn and perfect, but Neil's abilities aren't just in his Solos, which by themselves are a show outside of the show, it's also his drumming capabilites in all of the songs he makes. Take your pick.

[@DOUG3610]

...3:51 Neil's transition into the last chorus' martial beat...

[@shakedydogshake]

Blasting this right now 4:18pm Saturday 11-6-21 Bloomington(Minneapolis),MN…….never EVER get tired of Force Ten or Rush!!!!!!

[@sparky2842]

I think I turned into my father somewhere down the road but I agree! I could listen to this stuff all the time. (and do!) RUSH- ALL TIME BEST BAND!!

Wore this videotape out in high school. Such a great show 😊

Geddys, I'm going to play keyboards with one hand, bass with the other and sing at the same time at the last part of the song. Unreal

"Force Ten" Tough times demand tough talk Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs Tough times demand tough talk Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs Demand... We can rise and fall like empires Flow in and out like the tide Be vain and smart, humble and dumb We can hit-and-miss like pride Just like pride We can circle around like hurricanes Dance and dream like lovers Attack the day like birds of prey Or scavengers under cover, under cover Look in... to the eye of the storm Look out... for the force without form Look around... at the sight and the sound Look in, look out, look around... Tough times demand tough talk Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs Demand... We can move with savage grace To the rhythms of the night Cool and remote, like dancing girls In the heat of the beat and the lights, and the lights We can wear the rose of romance An air of joie de vivre Too tender hearts upon our sleeves Or skin as thick as thieves Thick as thieves... Look in... to the eye of the storm Look out... for the force without form Look around... at the sight and the sound Look in, look out, look around... Tough times demand tough talk Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs Demand... Look in... to the eye of the storm Look out... for the force without form Look around... at the sight and the sound Look in... look the storm in the eye Look out... to the sea and the sky Look around... at the sight and the sound Look in, look out, look around... Tough times demand tough hearts Tough times demand tough talk

It's true that the video was released in 1989. However, all the material of "A Show Of Hands" was filmed between April 21-24, 1988 at The National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, United Kingdom. I added some more information to the video's description box.
