"Working Man" by Rush (Time Machine Tour: Live In Cleveland) [OFFICIAL] 

+Janne Rantanen I think we all agree the three of them kick ass. Take one of them out of Rush and they are shit.

+Janne Rantanen ALL 3 thrive as a band together fo sho.....The Ged said it best..."There is no RUSH without those guys".....period! Cheers

+Janne Rantanen Fuck ya!!! And Neil is a great lyricist!!!!

***** And Geddy is a great Bassist....so it's obvious why RUSH is THEE Best Band ....period.

+The Stuport Pink Floyd is the greatest band ever!!!!!

Making it look easy doesn’t mean it’s easy.

@@SeanVedell True, they had to practice these a lot even back in the day!

And they'll never get the respect they deserve- individually or collectively. Thank goodness they have such an active & dedicated fan base.

There's something to be said about Canadian three piece bands.

Depends who you ask. I saw a poll (guitar world magazine I believe) who ranked him as 2nd best in the world. But then others like myself would say Buck Dharma (Blue Öyster Cult), Paul Kossoff (Free), Glenn Buxton (Alice Cooper), and Vivian Campbell (Dio/Def Leppard) are underrated more so than Lifeson.

wow thats an honor ...no way to "rate" talent like this ...consistency regarding live performances vs sloppiness has to be a factor as cant hide live mistakes to well trained ear but then you had greats that were always high playing live that made their rep suffer like hendrix and page when we know they are genius and three piece bands without a 2nd guitarist to free up greats like schenker (ufo), hendrix, etc...that's another factor that makes lifeson so great...he performs consistently outstanding live without a 2nd guitarist as does tony iommi ..(although they both have two of the greatest bass guitarist around with geddy and gezzer)

Larry of Primus is kinda underrated as well

Tiago Lethal agree 100%

Eric Lifeson ist der Gitarist von Rush und damit Einzigartig.

3 true masters of their craft🤘🏻

Spot on mate! He’s a genuine beast on that axe!

Well quite fortunately there are a lot of Rush fans

Golf Hound I would also put Joe Perry and Mark Knopfler in there as underrated

Never underated

Underrated guitarist and comment!

Excellent!

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Hell yeah. I posted his bail so he could go murder it some more 🤪

Hahahah

Chris Ducat well said.

I've watched this so many times and it still amazes me. The tempo's fast; they're playing fast, yet they don't sound frantic or rushed at all. They're so together and tight. It just blows me away.

Chris Ducat Looks like the laundry finished in time for the jam.

That was flipping amazing

Not to mention the musical quote used at the end. That was another piece of utter brilliance!

There is definitely hope for the next generation! Cheers!

My son's first concert when he was about 8 was Midge Ure, the second a week later was The Stranglers. Sadly I never got to see Rush.

This is my favorite version of the song.

Amen

The Alt Science Channel True. Like Rush!

Some bands are just great . ! You could put rush in a vacuum cleaner and they would still be greatness !

Like Pink Floyd

Queen is pretty much the definition of that. They're great on album, but even better live

I had the honor of seeing rush live many times in the 70s. Always was an awesome performam've that left my ears ringing for hours.

This face says "WTF is going on over there?" 3:33

Nemo Job cream ,

@Lil' Wayne's guitar teacher are you freaking serious dude???

@Lil' Wayne's guitar teacher ZZ Top? Better than Rush? I don't think so. And Cream? Why'll they are great, they are no Rush. Rush had some of the greatest musicianship in a band I've ever seen, they got along with each other remarkably well and I personally think each member is more talented than their Cream counterpart. Call me crazy, but I think it's true.

Lil' Wayne's guitar teacher ah yes go on a rush video just to differ with people

Indeed

The class....

He isn't underrated, it's just that some people wouldn't know a great guitarist if they got bit on the ass by a great guitarist. Hell Eddie Van Halen was once asked what it was like to be the best guitar player in the world, and his reply was "ask Alex Lifeson".

Fucking based. My dad (from Youngstown) told me this story. I love Rush and I love Cleveland for helping them make it big time.

Southeastern Ohio HB BBQ^ Tru Fax! DJ said she played "Working Man" every time she needed to poop.

And that DJ was none other than DONNA HALPER

Tks a lot Cleveland and this great DJ whose name I forgot.....

Cleveland? Get outta here... Just like the Tragically Hip, Rush was on the radar in Buffalo before Cleveland.

long-awaited

yup,my bad.

Man, I’m only 29 and I actually cried hearing the news. I went over to my parents house that night and my dad and I watched Rush videos for fucking hours and hours all night. I cried again, my brother cried, my dad cried, and I’m so thankful God put that MF’er on this planet to make millions of us smile. RIP Neil Peart, love ya buddy

Philip Suprise I'm not a crier at all for is my dad but I told him and you'd of thought I just shot his dog by the look on his face, I think he was waiting and hoping for some punchline to make it not true.

@@fieldfairy9845 yup man. Im only 28 and that hit hard

Brave Heart ... I was 7 in '74 and the same except for some weird reason I'm only going on 53 . I had an uncle who owned a music shop & i started playing at age five . Working man was the first 'real' song i ever learned , by real I mean that it wasn't in a beginners book like hot cross buns or some shit . Alex Lifeson is my earliest influence besides George Harrison and he (Alex) totally shaped my sound, style and phrasing . Lol I think your math is off dude or you don't know how old you are lol 🤣😂🤣

The Professor.

Biggest Canadian musicians ever? They have a massive cult following and one of the most iconic rock songs ever in Tom Sawyer

brien berry Even still, I agree with the OP. They are a legendary band that should be compared right up there with some of the greatest bands to ever walk the earth. It’s a shame that they never achieved the level of super-stardom that they deserved, but even still I’m sure they’re quite happy with the way they are now😂 such a down to earth trio. Favorite band ever, with no possible exceptions.

Attention from who? The critics? Rolling Stone? These guys packed arenas and stadiums the world over, year after year, no fucking thanks to the critics.

you mean because you just discovered Rush?

I so totally agree - in spades!!! Why? In my opinion, their music was not mainstream rock, but more progressive rock that didn't really catch on, on to the standard hard rock radio stations back in the day, with the exception of a couple of their 'radio-friendly' hits. Thank God for their massive international cult following though, that ensured they NEVER remained irrelevant.

To Hard Rock!

That was not prog rock, that was kick ass straight up rock. Saw them New Years eve Toronto, Maple Leaf Gardens, 1976, doing this song. Knew they were going to make it big.

Except they're not.

@@christophermullaley1597 Who's better?

gardens up pink Floyd

Inosuke Hashibira you’re joking right?

Deez nope. Rush is great but Pink Floyd is better imo.

The GOAT

Where do you see Kings X...I thought this was RUSH...Actually KX fucking worshiped RUSH...I was just playing on the fact that KX would be the closest other band in the business that has this kind of talent...

Leonardo Silva Borges tru dat!

😇🙌💓💣💥🌠⛼🌌🎸🎶🎵🎼🎸🎤🎹🥁🔊🔊🔊

Of course.

Me= Air guitar, Air bass & air drums like a MoFo, and hit every lick, Ya

3 Monsters 🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊

3 monsters yes. Ciao da Roma.. long live to rush

AA H they must be harder than diamonds

Geddy’s picking technique bass drives me crazy! As a bass player you are not taught to use your right hand to pick like that but Geddy is so damn accurate!

That's hilarious. Nice comparison.

Elvis Costellos watching the detectives

Damn so good.

I know, right? I was thinking, "Hey, this sounds like 'Working Man' if The Police wrote it.".

As a bass player I agree. I was first influenced by Geddy in 1976 and over time became quite proficient playing Rush songs. At my peak I could even play with his speed with good accuracy. But I was never able to cross that line of virtuosity that Geddy always displayed. Many are born to play, some are born to play very well and one was born Geddy Lee.

5:48 Peart was sayin fuck yea!

And that absolutely showed in their music and their lives. Which only earned them even more undying respect from their fans.

The best at what? If you think they are the best band ever then I pity you.

@@chrischamberlain2168ok I will take the bait, who do you think has more talent than Rush?

@@toddkorbusieski111 how do you define talent? I have heard the three members of Rush described as virtuosos and I would not dispute that. However, to me, rock music is more than just technical ability. If we are talking just technical ability, then Satriani, Vai and Malmsteen are all technically better guitarists then Lifeson. However, there music does nothing for me. My favourite band are The Beatles and they were not virtuosos but wrote a lot of classic songs. My friend is a massive fan of Rush but I can’t get past Geddy Lee’s voice. To Rush fans, they are a great band but I prefer Led Zeppelin whose influence far surpasses Rush. Jimi Hendrix had a recording career of four years and he is a legend due to the amount of classic songs he recorded in that short space of time. Would Rush be remembered if they were around for four years?

@@chrischamberlain2168 You bring up many valid points that I wholeheartedly agree with. I too love the Beatles as I grew up with them and think folks like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, Doors and Animals had huge influences on rock music. If Rush just had 4 years they probably would not but that is part of what makes them so great. They lasted as a band and friends for 40 years without any of the drama that you see from almost every other band. Longevity and selling out arenas also counts and they did that throughout their career. At its most basic though I just love the lyrics and the music which for any band is purely subjective. Good talking to you. Have a great Holiday.

+Francisco Jumpstyle BASS GUITAR MASTER!!!!!!

When he did the cover of Crossroads for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I thought his voice fit in wonderfully with it. I know that his voice now had to adjust and compensate for many of their older songs since he's older. The last couple of albums they did were great cause they worked around how his voice changed. If there's a strength this band had, it was adjusting their music to the times in the right way (and that includes Geddy's voice changing). Now, 2016, they are retiring from touring :-( . The guys are in their 60s and Neil's definitely feeling the wear. I think it is a sound choice to make. These guys have done what they love for nearly 50 years (1968 was the year Rush was conceived), and have gotten successful enough from it to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. They leave behind a great legacy to rock music and a wonderful catalog. For a fun little segue, I wonder if Krieger will address the retirement in the next season of Archer...

Ya mon!

Francisco Thérès pearl jam

pearl jam

David Ringo yes we have

And what bands come close to Rush?

yes please tell us

@@dimitarfiliuca1765 can you name one band from this generation that even compares?

All besides Greta van Fleet..ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aJg4OJxp-co.html

+Ross “BeerIsBest” Childs Smiles...Vintage Rush.. The Boys always deliver The Goods!! Cheers

+Ross “BeerIsBest” Childs Agrees...Bat Shit Crazy without the mess!! Cheers

Ross Childs he's shredding!

Ross Childs I'm thinking the whole crew kicks the shit outta their tools of the trade great intensity 🎸🎸🔊🔊😎😎

That guy has a few screws loose. LOL.

They're just the hippies from the 80s who thought they were too cool for Rush

No one touches rush talent wise& musicianship wise,rush is the ultimate hard rock band!!!!!The greatest band ever!!!

@@Branflakes1522 I'm a hippy and I mother f ing love Rush. Excuse my cuss

Eddie VanHalen was asked what is it like to be one of the greatest guitarists of all , He responded I do not know ask Alex L from Rush ,

People hear with their eyes. Musicians hear with their ears. LES PAUL said that. So true. Real players know who the great ones are. Alex rocks

I regret I only have ONE like to give... but it is a HUGE LIKE!

They ripped it apart, Then shredded it into oblivion, Then put it back together just to kick its ass. AWESOME.

Rush butchering their own song is much better than other bands trying their absolute best. You can tell Lerxt and Dirk just had a blast doing this.

You hard?

What about the best singer?

You forgot best lyricist too !!

I laughed at that one!

Winterstick549 Mine too

You have a house? Sweet livin' right there......

Good 1 my bro still smiling best fuck n song ever ✋ s down

I emailed DW one day on a whim and asked if they had to put a dollar value on Neil's kit, how much was it? They actually replied and said it was worth about $50,000, including all the hardware. I would venture an educated guess that the cymbals would add about another $4000.

@MagmaAdminSilver Jeremy It's not in question that RUSH was influenced by Led Zep, splitting hairs as to which individual artist is better than the other serves no purpose. Wasted energy.

MagmaAdminSilver Jeremy how desperate are you for attention that you have to go on a rush video to differ with people

Fuck yea

Boooooyyyaaaaa !!!

Sir Duke I love how they start out as quiet reggae, then suddenly they say “forget the clutch and slam it into full on into rock ‘n’ roll gear

Mike Parzyck I can’t believe this either.

This song is 50 years old and still kicking ass

Can't believe this comment is 5 years old.

Sadly he was atheist

@@bilbobaggins4710 No, I believe that Neil was an agnostic. BIG difference. As big as you can get. Hopeful that Neil chose belief above all. Possible up to final moment. RIP Neil.

@@bilbobaggins4710 I've heard that too. But I know for sure he was a big fan of freedom and fought against tyranny in his lyrics.

@@charleshutton284 well I think the song faithless pretty much summed up his position. I doubt he chose belief.

Psychotic. PERIOD.
