Rush - La Villa Strangiato - Live Performance - POSSIBLY THE GREATEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!!! 

this instrumental is about nightmares Alex used to have. so him saying "wake up" is appropriate.

RUSH Canada's 3-man Progressive rock gift to the world! RIP Neal Peart!

Alex had the best and most accurate speech about what an honor it is to be "indicted" (Neil's word) into the RRHOF.

3 of the greatest guys to ever roam the Earth. Not just outstanding musicians but truly outstanding people. RIP Neil, we miss you!

I believe Alex wrote the music when he was 18! Man when I was that age, I was flipping burgers at McDonald's...

The most incredible power trio that I have ever saw and enjoyed since 1977 Stanley Theater Pittsburgh PA. Will never forget✌🏼

A 9-minute track on the Hemispheres album. When it was finished I thought, "What? Already?" The shortest 9-minute track I ever heard.

That is the best f****** video version of that song by Rush that I have ever seen thanks for jamming to this one brother

I consider myself so lucky that I was able to see these guys 15 times through the years starting in 1982 and ending in 2008

Rush is in a league of their own!

Alex is so much fun. I love is Barbie Doll audience with their signs. 😁

Most Amazing Band Ever !

Pure perfection - what else is there to say? 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🔥 🔥 🔥

Alex Is Trippin'!!!🤣 I Love This Version😁

I love watching your reaction to Rush , saw them 6 times , last 2 with my sons , made my son skip school for a first come first serve ticket sale , ended up front row in front of Geddy , boys loved every minute

I love when Alex does introductions. There's a whole video out there on RU-vid of a compilation of Alex's introductions and it's really funny who he calls everyone

saw 'em in concert at least 12 times

TOTALLY AWESOME!! COULD YOU IMAGINE BEING IN THAT RUSH CROWD? INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE BY EVERYONE WOW!! SOOO MUCH MUSIC COMING OUT OF THOSE SPEAKERS, ONLY 3 GUYS!! BEAUTIFUL GUITAR PLAYING ALEX 🎸🔥🔥🔥 IT'S LIKE DAVID GILMORE!! THE DRUMS AMAZING 🥁🔥🔥🔥 AND GEDDY AND HIS AWESOME BASS PLAYING!! SOOO MUCH GOING ON, JUST JAMMIN INCREDIBLE!! A LITTLE BLACK SABBATH 👂ALEX, JOKING AROUND, THAT WAS AWESOME!!! REMIND ME OF GORDIE DOWNIE. THIS IS INSANE!! INCREDIBLE REACTION RORY 💙 AND THANK YOU TODD FOR REQUESTING THIS GEM WOW!! LEGENDARY! 😊💓🔥🤘✌️

Kudos to you,Rory!!❤❤ As a (waning) proud Canadian,and obligatory Rush fan(you know Rush fanship is part of our citizenship commitment, right?),I had never heard this version. Well done ,lad!😂❤

Saw these guys 10 times. Every time was amazing. Rush is the most talented band iv ever seen or heard. Been a musician for over 30 years myself and i cant touch these 3. They are the reason i play music to begin with, especially Neil. Heard them, was floored and wanted to play... Best band to ever do it.

Absolutely incredible. And my favorite of all Alex "rants". Hilarious

G.O.A.T.s ... All three. 🤗

I love this song and that was a fantastic performance! Alex🤣🤣❤❤❤

Listen to powerhouse by raymond scott, it was used in many cartoons in the 60's and 70's, it was the bit you first talked about sounding familiar. Although the copyright had expired, Rush compensated Mr Scott's estate for using a few seconds of his song.

It was a nightmare Alex had was the background for this song❤🇨🇦 and we're Canadian its Y Y Zed😊

Y Y ZED my friend❤🇨🇦

Gotta check Pinkerton Festival 1979LIVE i believe is the old live version for this tune..fresh and new back then.

Lucky enough to see them play this live on my 16th bday in 1980, sans the weird bit in the middle 😆They absolutely murdered it in in this clip. Argentina, maybe? Great reaction, mate

this is my fave.❤

Great reaction as always Rory. Thanks for reacting to this often overlooked performance.

Love the reaction. Let it play

DUDE! Thank you

From the Hemispheres album, one of Rush's most technically difficult songs.

Rush is the greatest collection of individual talent to ever grace the music industry. They were greater than led zepplin, The Who, only Cream is at their level!

Starting with this tour and continuing for several more tours, the part Where Alex just goes all "Jazz is weird!" was a feature (known as the ":Lerxst Rants") in every show - each one completely improved and different! Just Alex being Alex, with Geddy and Neal just along for the ride and ready (as always) to take off from Alex's brainstorms - like the "Guy From Ipanema" - totally off-the-cuff!

I like the way they did this. Replacing the 70's key board with just the bass.

Rory I'd love to jump into Mr Peabody's time machine with you and go back to the early 80's and hit a Rush concert with you. I'll bring the blunts. =8)

Possibly? 🧐 Welcome to RUSH, dude! 😁👍

Enjoy your Rush journey. I'd look for a live version of most songs. They're usually pretty true to the studio but you actually get to see them do it. A tighter band you'll not find. A combination of virtuosity, power, and often--beauty (take off, it's a beauty way to go). Three of the greatest artists of all time.

2112 live remastered 1997 in Toronto, the best version live of this masterpiece. Also Natural Science, same concert. Musicianship at its best.

YYZed Rory. You're English!

I've always thought the Arctic Monkeys were influenced by Rush! Never heard anyone else mention it till now. I swear one of their songs sounds like a straight lift from By Tor and the Snow Dog.

🏆🏆🏆🏆!

hey we're back to some GOOD Rush 😂

Buddy, I’m 63 years old and this is still my favourite song ever,probably listened to this everyday of my life since I bought this album. When Alex goes off ranting is so funny.☮️🇨🇦

AGAIN. EVERYTIME. I SAY THE SAME THING. JUST 3 GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOBODY, I MEAN NOBODY COULD DO THIS EVER AGIAN, and never will.

When your that good, its hard not to be really weird. That was weird.

Stop a kick ass instrumental for a couple minutes to just fuck around, then jump back in without missing a beat. Truely professional musicians.

you reacted to this song live in cleveland

That's just 1 song on there vast collection Rush is so great

Talent beyond talent. And silly beyond silly. Combine the two...Rush.

The best performance is hands down the 1978 rehearsal with no audience. Much better sound quality too! 🏄‍♂️
