Make sure you watch the live version of WORKING MAN from their 2011 tour in Cleveland. 37 years after this version and still sounding great!

This song is off Rush's debut album which had John Rutsey on drums. Following their album debut Neil Peart joined the band on drums, and also contributed most of the band's lyrics. After that Rush went to another level. Still, this song is definitely a banger.

For those complaining about long guitar solos or multi-part Rock songs, you have to understand that this song comes from 1974. In the mid-70's, there was a major part of the genre where bands would display their acumen/skills by going on these long, instrumental marathons (think "Free Bird" from Lynyrd Skynyrd or music from Led Zeppelin, for instance), Rush did not start out being the world's best songwriters but one thing they could do was Rock OUT for hours, in their live gigs. So, they made songs which, while still conforming to the 40-minute vinyl record constraints, did include some longer, jammier songs that would get Rock fans to their gigs, so they could turn them into real fans. Those Rock concerts from the 70's were truly legendary, which is why Live albums were doing such boom business back then! Not all Rush songs are long jams but they had a few where they could stretch their legs, as it were, and take the audiance on a journey!

Watch, YYZ live in Rio, Geddy uses 2 strings of the bass to make the entire crowd bounce. Bass is definitely not in the background with this group, that's what makes them interesting.

So you like an instrumental and guitar solo?! There’s non better than “La Villa Strangiato”. Next level indeed. Please check out the studio version from the album “Hemispheres”.

As a guitar player I would love to see your reactions to Xanadu Live Exit Stage Left 1981, La Villa Strangiato, Witch Hunt, Vital Signs, Freewill.

I'm 65 and saw Rush once in my home city Newcastle upon Tyne around 1976 and they were great. I consider myself very fortunate to have grown up with the explosion of creativity in music in the sixties and seventies. Led Zep, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Free, Uriah Heep, King Crimson, Rush, Steppenwolf and many more great bands. My favourite band however, is Van Der Graaf Generator which perhaps you are not familiar with. Why not give Lemmings a listen from the album Pawn Hearts and see what you think?

Thank Jeebus you're listening to the OG studio version. The entire first album is mostly smokers.

Don’t let rock die little man. Loving that you liked this brings me back to a time when I was your age. Really enjoyed this.

Your gonna luv their 2011 live in Cleveland version for various reasons 1) Neil Peart (John Rutsy was drummer here) 2) the bands musicianship is put on full display an their in their late 50’s (it’s insane) 3) they throw a wicked twist at you for the first 2 min 4) both Geddy and Alex go total ham!!! And it’s nutzzzz 🤘🤘🤘

Back in the golden age of Rock, guitar solos and to a lesser extent drum solos were the highlights of the song, especially with hard rock, heavy metal and progressive metal rock. Let me ask Gen Z's something. In modern popular music, what is the ratio of bands/groups with multiple members compared to solo artist singers with backup "people?" Back in the day. if a person or group was good enough on their instruments, a singer wasn't even a strict requirement. Though it was rare. I don't know that I can speak for all Gen X's, but for me personally, the singer and lyrics were secondary, it was about the music and music and singing are not the same thing. Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of rock singers with great and unique voices, Geddy Lee of Rush being a prime example. It was definitely the norm to have a great singer, but all I cared about was that he could carry a basic tune as to not screw up the instrumental music.

If there is ONE RUSH song that launched them over the border and into America, it's this early RUSH blazer. I know it blew us young rockers away in South Texas.

Check out the live version of this song in Cleveland. It's arguably even better than the studio version. You won't be sorry!

You must have "Sis" listen to some mid 80's to early 90's RUSH. This is a period when RUSH relied more on the synth and Alex and his guitar took more of a supporting role. Try "Mission" or "Ghost of A Chance". Both are pretty light on the guitar solo but still great tracks!☮️

Not exactly metal but you should check out 'Bodhisattva' by Steely Dan - it's a fast-paced banger! Also 'Aqualung' by Jethro Tull (live version for best effect).
