Our first time hearing Fly By Night and Anthem from Rush's second album. It's also our first time watching the music videos, including a bonus vid of Rush performing La Villa Strangiato in 1978.
This is our first time listening to these songs and watching these music videos. We are re-experiencing classic rock music, an album at a time, with fresh perspectives and active ears, so that Dev can learn and appreciate this music more, and so that Mike can relive his childhood.

Ahhh, thus why I love this band so much! You simply cannot find another band like RUSH.

@mermaidmelodies1492 4 дня назад

True enough! But I do believe I have found a current Band that has 'picked up the Mantle' of Rush in musicianship and Great song writing abilities and are currently producing new music with a 10-year catalogue. BAND-MAID is the Band from Japan and Their Bassist reminds Me of Geddy in so many ways, and the drummer, although never matching Neil, can play quick double bass pedals that 'seem' faster than Neil's at times. Check 'em out and see what I mean.

In 1970s Kansas City, any members of high school Rock & Roll bands would go out Friday and Saturday night, but be home before 11:30pm to watch "The Midnight Special" on Friday night, and "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" on Saturday nights! I really do miss those shows. Thankfully, there is a Midnight Special RU-vid channel!

Yes, you are right, Alex did not play this song "live" very often as they might have liked to. Very complex and Alex went through lots of guitar strings in the making of "La Villa Strangiato". Spot on, love the high-quality vids!

Love that you reacted to Young Rush, these videos are so much fun to see. Great reaction, and great production, I like you have the lyrics, and video and yourselves all incorporated in the video. Fantastic performance and very enjoyable performance. I always find it so amusing that the performance was in a school gym with the props for a play in the background. Love both those songs off the second album. Thanks for a fantastic reaction.

@generoberts9151 6 дней назад

Fly by Night was a big radio song when it came out. Really popular across all stations . Kinda put them on the map. Not sure about the first two songs. May have played studio over footage, but La Villa Stangiato here was a one take live track. And is unbelievably good

@MARSHOMEWORLD 5 дней назад

It is fortuitous that they just happened to have their own castle at this time.. I mean most bands spend their early advances on amplifiers and things like that but Rush you know... had to be different. Speaking of gear..... that drum set which became the legendary "Chromy", was the kit Neil used all the way up to 2112. It now resides with a collector who has taken it on some publicity jaunts, where people can donate money to different charities in exchange for being able to play the kit. It's been restored and is absolutely gorgeous.

@mhlevy 4 дня назад

If I remember correctly from an interview, that performance of La Villa was live, shot in a rehearsal hall, before the start of the Hemisphere's tour. I believe it was Geddy who said that recording that song "nearly broke us." It was difficult to record, and in fact, was recorded in parts and then spliced together, but over time, they were able to play it flawlessly. I remember Mike Portnoy (legendary drummer for "Dream Theater") saying in an interview that "when you can play La Villa perfectly, you've really done something special." Eventually, Rush was able to perform that song flawlessly, but it took quite a bit of practice. My very first rock concert was seeing Rush play live in 1977 (I was 15 at the time) on their "Farewell to Kings" tour, and my second concert was seeing them on their "Hemispheres" tour. I've lost count over the years, but I saw Rush play live between 20 and 25 times, the last time on their R-40 tour.

@RushfanUK 3 дня назад

You can hear Alex's playing is just a little bit mechanical in some parts which as they bedded it in became far more fluid, I spent quite some time working this out on guitar, it is a monster to try and play, sadly due to an accident to my left hand and a stroke it's beyond me now to do this justice.

@ZIG4ZAG20 6 дней назад

What’s really interesting about this is that always ahead of their time, they were doing “videos” of performance clips, even if lip syncing, WAY BEFORE MTV was even a thought and FF five short years later, videos were basically the norm.😳🤯😁🖖✌️🤘🎸🎹🎤🥁

@vincenttayelrand 4 дня назад

La Villa Strangiato is said to have been a nightmare to record (as was the rest of the album). They weren't able to put it down in one take. The video you see here is actually the very first time that they were able to play that entire song in one take.

@jerrypilarz3076 4 дня назад

The Fly By Night videos were recorded between January 20-25, 1975 in Atlanta, GA Geddy: "It wasn't a church. It was a school in Georgia, actually. We were doing a gig that night, and we loaded in, and there was this castle set up in another auditorium. We just happened to have a guy who was with us who was a camera guy, I think he was working for the record company...and so we just did the songs, and he just quickly shot it just for our own use."

@grandwazoodebris1015 5 дней назад

I think you've got it right wrt Strangiato. They said in the documentary they couldn't record Strangiato on the original album in one take, though they wanted to, too hard. It does seem like this video is saying "yeah, we got it now, no problem." They played it live often, and great. I only saw them once live, on the Hemispheres tour, and they played it then, would've been fresh in the live show then. I always loved Lifeson's first solo in this song, superb.

@johncampbell756 6 дней назад

It's funny seeing Alex with the black Gibson 335 and Geddy with the white Rickenbacker 4001 when they are famous for playing a white 335 and black 4001 as I. La Villa Strangiato. Between 2112 and A Farewell to King's, Geddy added synths, Neil doubled the size of his kit and Alex added the double-neck guitar. There is an extended video where Alex shows off his badly injured finger (black fingernail) before playing this. If you watch carefully, you can tell that Alex is triggering the opening synth parts with his foot.

Wish he had stuck with the Ricky bass, great biting tone.

@@johncampbell756 You would think that a modern guitar tech could sort it out. Pity.

@johncampbell756 3 дня назад

@m.b-ee8815 Apparently, it goes out of tune, only in the Hugh notes, while playing. I had the same bass without the problem, but I didn't play it for as long each night as he (and nowhere near as well).

@joesixpack8305 6 дней назад

After weeks of failing to record La Villa in one take they finally had to admit they couldn't do it. So they recorded it in three separate sections. Later, they went to make a video for the song but Neil refused to do one of those fake videos where they lip sync and drum sync. So they decided to do it live (no audience). Wouldn't you know it, they pulled it off in one take and it became a tour mainstay. Couldn't tell you which video it was...maybe this one. Not sure.

@stewpot6998 6 дней назад

Neil Peart, professor, PhD in mullet and Hi-hat. I love the rhythm change on the accents at the beginning of La Villa Strangiato and the alternating accent during the middle guitar solo. It takes patience to keep that going and add to it along the way. Dev, you and Mike are going to star in my tv series. It could happen. 😉

@ChrisDuplisea 6 дней назад

You are correct, they were not able to play the song in one take at the studio. I believe Geddy said they broke the song up into several sections during the recording.

@winstonhewett6679 6 дней назад

Alex is playing some of the synth parts with his foot, while playing guitar! You catch Geddy doing this live, but only occasionally do you see Alex! I saw them 6 times from late 1974 until 1981! Always great live!!! Such a huge catalog of music! One of their many great instrumentals!!!

@MJS-ON 6 дней назад

One thing I don’t think I have seen any reactor pick up on is that while Alex is performing his magic in the guitar on La Villa, he is also playing bass synth pedals with his right foot in several sections of the song. In this video, we see his foot on the pedals directly just once, across the floor with Geddy in the foreground but, the other times, you can see him moving his body to hit the “foot notes” (sorry, couldn’t resist the corny joke!) Just another example of how amazing and multi-tasking all 3 of them are and how 3 men can make all this sound!

@ZIG4ZAG20 6 дней назад

Rush-making professional musicians look like amateurs since 1974. Ironically, THIS is the album that got me into Rush, but it was 1980-ish when I first heard or discovered it. My older brother had it in his collection and I think I may have heard 2112 or Moving Pictures/Tom Sawyer at a friends house who had older brothers and I was like digging through my brother’s albums and he had this and I was like hmmm is this the same guys or band that I heard and turns out it was and that was🤯🤘🖖✌️🥁🎸🎹🎤🎸

@dpall38 6 дней назад

I saw them play La Villa dozens of times. In total they played it 854 times. They were on a different level. Three guys in perfect sync.

@m.b-ee8815 8 дней назад

Fly by night was inspired by Neil going over to the UK before he joined Rush, hoping to get somewhere in the music biz. It didn't work out for him obviously.

@joesixpack8305 7 дней назад

Not there anyway. I'll bet there is a lot of regret in the UK. 😊

@funkster007 6 дней назад

Neil probably missed the boat by a couple years. Most of the well known bands were already established by the time he arrived in the UK. Imagine a young unkown Canadian drummer in Yes or King Crimson though. That could've been interesting.

Thank you so much for coming back to Rush! There are so many more great songs to react to. Anthem was the first song with Neil Peart, after John Rutsey said goodbye. He makes quite the statement, don't you think? Keep it up. Please check out Bytor and the Snowdog on this same album as well. It was their first ballad/storyline piece. Bytor is mentioned again on the next album (Caress of Steel), on the Necromancer (a must listen)!!!
