Three people made these impossible sounds for 45 years. What an Incredible Band.

People always say that RUSH is Neil Peart. But for me, even as a drummer, Geddy was always what made RUSH. His incredible Bass playing, keyboards, floor pedals, etc., and even his voice, is what made RUSH so powerful! Been a RUSH fan since 1979, and will always be! Saw them 19 times live since 1980!

Hands down , The Best Rock Band Ever. Lifetime fan , fortunate enough to have seen them live about 25 times. RIP Neil.

i really miss this great band.i,ll listen to them until my dying day.

I'm 50 now and was in Rio back then, crying as a baby.

What a badass drummer I can't believe he's gone

The absolute best three person band of all time and one of the best bands regardless of size of all time. What these three men accomplished in 40 years is incredible. They defined progrock. They are still as popular as when they toured. Sadly we will never see a reunion, as Neil has passed, but I hope Getty and Lief put together something for their fans in the near future.

🚀💃🏻why are we here!! I’m 63 and now calling this band one of my fav ❤ RIP Neal Pert. Besides being the Best drummer, he wrote awesome lyrics and Books 😇

My first intro to Rush was 1978 listening live on a Friday night on my upstate NY radio as they played the Montreal Forum. Have to thank my neighbor Erik for introducing me. Have seen them 10+ times since then. No question my greatest musical influence. I read a comment on a Rush video that said something like "Rush might not be your favorite band, but they're your favorite band's favorite band" and that pretty much sums it up.

Exit Stage Left was my 1st ever concert back when I was in High School. Been a fan ever since then. I was very fortunate to see them several times before the end. Love those 3 guys. ❤ Huge influence in my life. Yes, I’m a girl who loves Rush!!!!

How is it even possible for three guys with all this Talent able to meet at the right time and produce all of this wonderful music for all of these years what a wonderful place Earth is when the right people join together hats off to rush for being the greatest band in the world

Everyone loves the RIO concert. Those people bellow out the lyrics! So great to hear and see the guys reactions to it! All of them in such good form!

Sailing boldly into the musical future, but with our flag still at half mast... Thanks to all who made this a reality...

I’m not saying you would win, but an argument “could” be made that these three individuals were, at any given moment, the best live player of their respective instruments.

Brasil!! Fã do rush! Sou baixista. Abraços a todos.

'74. '78, '81, '84, '90, '91, '97, 2002, 2004, 2008 (2), 2012 and 2015 (R40 Farewell) are the years I was fortunate to see RUSH LIVE 😃 Thanks for those wonderful memories and thanks for posting this great compilation!! 🙂👍

Best power treeo ever, there will never be another band that even comes close

By far, one of the best Rush compilations. I'm a drummer, and Alex is my favourite😊.

Saw them back in ... 1983 ... during the Signals tour. Will never forget this. Outstanding !

They worked their butts off and showed how it's done.. Without Tattoos

i do adore that S&A freewill just for the fact that geddy's like "yeah i'm gonna consistently dodge the high A in the chorus but i'm also gonna consistently hit the much higher F in the bridge just to shut you all up"

THANK GOD FOR RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Among so many uniquely great pieces of Rush music in the video, the 75 second interlude by Rush during "Freewill" ranks as one of the finest pieces of synchronous music extant in the rock canon. "Xanadu" is truly a Tour de Force and all-time classic.

Uma dás melhores Bandas do mundo 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Sensacional espetacular sou muito fã 🇧🇷😜👊🔥

Swifty here my first show was fly by night all the way to there last concert and we watched them tear down the stage because we new that was our last show

These three are my favorite in 2024 . Best drum guitar bass ever 💓💓💓Canadian Beauty

That Tom Sawyer in Brazil really hit the spot!!!!😊

That Rio show was just amazeballs

The boys were really into it at this one.... Great performance....

Entre Nous really is a beautiful song - lyrically and musically - and they performed it live infrequently. Such a pleasure to see it here.

Hi great Video boy do I really miss them so much love their music went to so many concert miss Neil Peart best drummer ever love you Rush cheers

Rush was not one individual but the blending of 3 extremely talented and compatible personalities, you cannot take one piece of the picture away, they cease to be Rush!

I've been a huge Rush fan since the '70s. I seen them in 1976 or 7 in Nanaimo. I was 15 or 16 and it was unbelievable. Telly hole was the nicest hotel and they rented the floor above us and we stayed right below them. And of course we had a ton of people there and they had a huge party. We couldn't go up there or anything but some people knocked on the door from up. There wasn't anybody from Rush and they said if we could handle some overflow and they filled our bathtub with ice and beer all night long. It was one of my best nights as a teenager

Thank you so much for putting this video on ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Saw them every time they came to England from Farewell to Kings to Clockwork Angels. They've left a big musical hole in my life, especially the passing of numero uno Neil.

Almarhum Neil Peart idola urang ti SMP tahun 1988 ngabawakeun Tom Sawyer juara 1 dina kompetisi band sa SMP di Bogor euy. Ari Neil Peart mah inspirasi kanggo urang dina teknik maenkeun ketukan pedal bass drum sareung cymbal na. Ampun keren pisan ieu almarhum Neil Peart, moal aya duana lah

Nice playlist, thanks for picking the R40 version of working man from Toronto and not the final concert in LA, knowing that would be the last time we ever saw Neil perform always crushes me. 😊

Greatest band ever.. Long Live Rush !!!

Best group who ever played music,

So very happy to have been alive when this band hit the big time. 2112 was a life changing moment for me and I got to experience some of the greatest music ever made! Alex and Neil and Geddy. True Legends! Justin who?

Entre Nous is one of the most beautifully sung tunes in the whole damned catalog.

Oh I love Rush weather music great classic rock and it takes me back in time when my life was simple and my body did not have a dimple and I love the name of this classic rock band Rush we party to their music at Parker. Hill✌️🎵🎸🎸🎸🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎸

Wow , I must be really old now. I vividly remember seeing them in Bristol, in the Uk in 1979 on the Hemispheres tour. An amazing night, and saw them again in the UK on the Roll the bones tour in 1992!

Whata crowd, yes!!!! Rock-n

Steven bodenner I like this guys opunion, I am a drummer too and have played drums since 5th grade with the grade school band and kept going alot of sheet music I had struggled with and I refused to ever stop playing regardless because I wanted to be able to get in Neil's mind and eyes looking out , but learning the first two music books red and blue books really helped me understand a lot of my rudements and the names of most rudements and how so crucial it is to know these tools given and I today still depend fully on these tools to be read and played I band grade school and al through the years I've practiced these students to this day forward, it's like speaking a whole different language again and rush was always my permanently and favorite band too because what the person said and commented and I fully agree and Alex he too plays a total different way that I have never heard before finest and very incredible I saw my first concert when I was really really young I was twelve years old and knew all their fist four albums and the very first live album that was titled all the worlds a stage touring on this live sound and mix , and touring on the fare well to kings and i today still remeber that concert and played my favorite song called cigness x-1 and still got to see and hear the full live album still being played out finnishing in order just like the first live album and had it so memorized from what i knew for fact every song that was played on the live album , and still all the songs were in order too as they recorded the live album and they played a few fair well to kings album and this will ever will never be for gotton and thise first five albums were absu lutely no freaken joke they were always ahead of their times that nobody i listened to was never anything like them being a 3 man band and could move mountains with geddys total remarkable playing bass and singing and playing keys key boards too with peddles down below him pushing the poeddles too on open notes same time , I have never seen anything ever like them and still today , even after Neil's death , still today I still havent heard any bands do what they do or have done , nobody can create this i cant find the words to exsplain them thats a three man band that played their stough like other one or two musicians have been in the band of theis and they put alot of power of sound that not even zz top couldnt top that, no affence people but rush was one hell of a band for three guys to sound like other people were in their band and again these three guys after Rusty first original drummer and Neil came in to be with the two members originally , and when I heard Neil playdrums and wrote the lyrics for rush ever since Rusty left rush , i told myself thats it, these could ever mess up playing in rhythm or anything three guys that was a huge powerful pounding unit that will never make mistakes olaying onstage of thousands of people and never I have ever heard no mestakes ever during making fare well to the kings , i thought when i was a child i will never be able to ever play drums ever like him ever, his persise drumming sounded like a programed computer was doing it all because of all his killer fine accenting on his high hat and snair drum playing was like there there was no drummer and replaced jjohn Rusty for a high tech computer doin all the un believable drum fills that i have never heard and never could understand how they where bigger then life and well far beyound ever there time like they would of been way ahead of time like three decades and rush having neil made the other two members of the band way exstream way way better musicians, eush was always one hell of a pounding machine , a band that was also one heavy seriose pounding unit that you couldnt touch them because of the way they always played , and Getty you couldnt touch his singing or bass playing, still to this day still foward i still beleive this today , i felt the band yes was the only thing that could get close them and chriss squire to me is the only one and closest to play like criss squire on bsss but yes was already out there way ten to some years out there way before rush , criss squire is now dead passed i got to see him some years before his passing , and my god you would think they grew up together and same town too , , that's all no more talking im outta detail thoughts , im outta here guys, later, and the drummer before me here , never ever stop playing your drums, im 61 years old now and when I play i totally still thought i am a kid still in high school , Alex and Getty my words to you enjoy your awesome retirement and enjoy the rest of your two lives, we all will always love you guys and I will still brage about you guys , no I'm just kidding your fine hard work will always tell the truth because you guys to me are still still bad ass and we will never forget you guys , good bye and God bless all of you, bye.

Most underated Band of All Time!!!!

Uaw... Rio de Janeiro Concert crowd was memorable! Insane!

Nive compilation ! The last shows r30 at radio city were spectacular. I saw r30 at different venues all really rocked but yhe crowd at nyc mid august 2004 was crazy fun. Only 5k in attrndance. Al and geddy stood so close to fans and hands were inches away to him! On purpose ! I went both nights. I went completely mental. Then on fire 🔥 at vegas shows at MGM therr had most fun with fans. First time geddy spotted me from then on it was giggles. I scored a dryer shirt after many trues alex tossed me one. In Tampa he tried but tall guys like hyenas on a zebra 😅 i did not stand a chance. Then alex tossed one in concord and ut was a perfect toss but a handicapped guy caught. Everyone everything every show special. Me and a friend were comped in san Diego s n a. That was a roll the bones night. 🎲

In assoluto la migliore band. Tre musicisti strepitosi 🥇♥

Sometimes it's the Rush Nerd you need, not the one you want, who delivers. Great video. And through cheap headphones, it sounds good so far.

Rush is my all-time favorite band

Thank you for letting me have this experience @!😂❤

The 4th member of Rush=Rio!

My Best Band Forever. MBBF. Rush is the greatest.

Saw them for the first time TWICE in 1981 during the Moving Pictures tour. Saw them regularly ever since. This is what the phrase "Uncompromising entertainment" was invented for.

Has a huge RUSH fan, this is positively the best compilation of son gs I have yet to hear! Great job and a great tribute. At first in the 70s I hated this band. After EXIT Stage Left was released, I was hooked. Saw them five times. The lat time 2015 was thebest. DO get the new autobiography by Geddy Lee. Amazing how they never took music lessons. I am an experience guitar player, but this music is a real challenge! Great Blake.

Really incrediable video! Great Job!

GREAT JOB ALL...THANX 4 MAKING Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO the music worldwide. LOVE YOU ALL...!!!....MUCH LOVE.!! AND ALSO THIS IN MAC TODAY [[ music appreciation class]]

You have beautifully chronicled every tour that I have seen except Time Machine and clockwork Angels. Thank the priest that I was able to catch our 40. My broter and I are beautifully grateful to your posting

Best version of Xanadu Ive heard(1981)

Rush memang keren.

Well done Blake, thanks.

Thanks for sharing

Great video

Life with ouT RUSH. TILL NEXT TIME

Love the creature SFX in The Trees 😀

These three guys are the most intelligent musicians that have ever lived in my opinion. I LOVE THE RUSH THEY SUPPLY!!top 2 greatest bands of all time. Second only to Led zeppelin. Omo . Gettys voice is incredible.

Last year at the Masonic in SF Peter stayed in the front of the crowd- unless I'm mistaken - as the rest went to take a break, doing Q& As & perfectly relaxed for about 3 hours total. The second Song has been Lyin' for a long time now & it's a strong one from the 'Premonition'('86) Lp & it was a strong start/early point to get Shows going. I'm very glad he & Marriott were able to get it together again even if it was just for 4(±) finished Songs- two of them are on Shine On as I recall.

Fabulous!

These are like M&Ms how can I like just one?

Never seen them live...., i'm watching monthly if they are going to give live performances again....., unfortunately without neil.

UNFASSBAR ! Wie auf der Platte ! Wahre Meister ! INCREDIBLE ! Like on the record ! True masters !

Je ne m'en lasse pas, extrêmement EXCELLENT !! 😊 ❤...

Thank You for the show Blake..

hard not to be moved by the Rio Crowd thunderously singing along, shaking the rafters of the stadium.

❤ gracias

RUSH made fans.The fans made RUSH. Glad they chose the path they did. TILL NEXT TIME BUDZ...

Take all the factors into consideration and what else can you say but best band EVER. Local boys to me too, which is awesome. Would have loved to see Double Agent (Counterparts) in this mix.

A taste of Canada for your ears. Endulge.🍁

exelente banda

I see. Yea, Rio is great. Rush in Rio is phenomenal!

Like Fine Scotch... Beat it Neil..!

If Geddy or Alex said to me...come on over for a coffee????.........I would quit my job

Rush made one of the best albums ever released… 2112……

On Roll the bones song that’s the first time I have ever seen Alex playing an SG

Espetacular!!!
