Don’t ever worry about irritating RUSH fans. As RUSH fans, one of our favorite things is other RUSH fans! The live shows were a SCENE! A whole different concert vibe in the crowd. You could feel it before the show as everyone was going into the venue every time. It was an excitement of anticipation for us who’d seen them before and a big exciting expectation for those who hadn’t. It was different from all other Rock concerts. No dummies in a RUSH crowd. To say we were pumped is an understatement. We knew what was about to happen. They always delivered flawlessly every time! Fantastic live band! It’s what I refer to as ROCK PRIVILEGE.

"Turn the Page" another Rush song form this same era that will blow your mind with the bass riff. Watch it live and you can see Geddy sing, play synths and bass all at once. As for this song - "Better the pride that resides in a citizen of the world, than the pride that divides when a colorful rag (flag) is unfurled" sums up the entire thing. Think of the people and individuals on the global scale and what we have in common, not the constructs of governments, nations, or territories that divide us all.

This song was always a personal favorite of mine. The song decries the tendency of people to make enemies of others. Whether as a country or as individuals, we define our own territories/homes and view people other than our loved ones/friends/family/countrymen as not welcome. "Why move around the world when Eden was so near" always meant to me that why would people want to go and invade other countries when they have what they want right there at home. "Don't feed the people but we feed the machines" is pretty simple, it means that we have hunger (and homelessness and poverty) in the world but still focus more on advancing our industries rather than directly helping people who do need assistance. And you didn't butcher the bassline, you got the gist of it right away.

This song was inspired by their time in Europe during the Hemispheres Tour in 1979. As Geddy recalled in his book My Effin Life: "On the way to a hotel in Lille, we passed monuments and memorials to the fallen heroes of both world wars, at Ypres and Flanders Fields and elsewhere, all familiar from our history books. On those memorials, by roadsides, town squares and churches, were listed the names of the citizens who'd lost their lives, and I realized that we were driving over the very battlefields where those men had fallen. It was an eerie feeling that stalked me as we moved across Europe. I related that to Neil, who one day turned it into a lyric about regional chauvinism in 'Territories': We see so many tribes--overrun and undermined; While their invaders dream of lands they've left behind; Better people--better food--and better beer; Why move around the world when Eden was so near?" For another powerful track from Power Windows, also inspired by events of WW2, I'd like to recommend Manhattan Project, which was based on the events surrounding the development and deployment of the first atomic bomb; if you'd like to see it done live, I highly recommend the performance from the Clockwork Angels Tour, where the string ensemble takes it to a whole new level. Cheers from Toronto! 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🐐 🐐 🐐

Great reaction Church Boy!! Such an amazing song - lyrics (as usual) on point for our society! Unsure of your misunderstanding of the lyric 'we don't feed the people, but we feed the machine' - it's the capitalist mentality - focused time, effort & resources applied to making money, while the people starve, go homeless, approach poverty. Conversely with a 'socialist' (I know, bad word in the U.S.) mentality - where the populace look after each other. Remember - Neil Peart & Rush are Canadian - social democracy is our thing. I love it when you try the bass lines Geddy dishes out! You're not 'butchering' it - but it's a great, play by ear attempt! Keep it up for ALL the Rush reactions! Another amazing track from this album is Mystic Rhythms (my personal favourite off Power Windows) - must listen! I'm absolutely LOVING your Rush journey! More, more, more please!

No pick required -- he used crazy light gauge strings and just attacked it with his first two fingers on the right hand. Check out A Show of Hands and you'll get the idea -- the index finger is usually The Boss, but the middle finger will come in for faster stuff like those triplets. The Wal's bridge humbucker is RIGHT UP against the bridge -- with the bridge pickup filter knob pulled up, it just makes THIS aggressive, blorpey sound. The Wal we hear on Power Windows is a walnut-faced Mk1 belonging to producer Peter Collins. Geddy went up to High Wycombe and ordered the black one we started seeing on tour and we hear on Hold Your Fire and Presto. He got a maple-faced transparent red-finished Mk2 which we hear on Roll The Bones. To me the red one sounds a big beefier, but is missing the GNARLY midrange and aggression of the black one.

What’s up my man, I’m loving your reviews and when I first started watching this one and you paused early on in the song and commented on the base line I chuckled to myself and said “wait until you hear what’s coming”. The look on your face did not disappoint. As for the lyrics, the song is about how humanity wages war to capture land, nations conquer other nations and tear down other peoples cultures and identities and replace it with their own imposed ideology. “The whole wide world, an endless universe…” he’s basically saying that we have everything not only here on earth and beyond to discover and that we as humans are apart of, but we waste our time trying to dominate one another and never really move forward. “Don’t feed the people but we feed the machines”. While I don’t know specifically what was going through Neil’s brain when he wrote that, I can come up with an example that ties into the song. Think about NASA, our government will spend billions of dollars to build a telescope and launch it out into space, while at the same time we slash funding for school lunch programs to feed children, many of whom rely on their school to get the best meal of their entire day. I’mma keep listening to your reviews Bro, I’m enjoying them and I love that you are approaching your reviews from a bass player’s standpoint. I’ll need to check the rest of your reviews to see if you’ve listened to this song yet, so forgive me in advance if I recommend something you have already reviewed. Check out the song “Roundabout”, by the band Yes. As for the lyrics, I’m still lost on that one, but the first time I ever heard Chris Squires’s bass line in that song, I almost 💦 in my pants. Geddy Lee was heavily influenced by Squire’s playing and you will see why I promise! Have a great weekend Bro!

I'm not crazy about the synth (I'm more old school), but I still enjoy the album.

I always viewed the chorus as saying that ultra-nationalism can be harmful. The line about looking at the eyeglass in reverse is saying that there is so much out there in the world, but yet many isolate themselves in a certain sector. The line about feeding the machines is talking about how governments often prioritize monetary gain and power over their own citizens. The theme of nationalism is very evident especially in the lines “Can’t really feel, what international means.”

The machines line that had you confused was saying we care more about production and money than our own people on earth

Rush songs take more than one run. Lyrics are easily missed in the great music.. Neil is fire with his lyrics

Great reaction!! Resisting these songs, through your reactions, is a trip down memory lane for me. Their musicianship is just n a different level, than any other band. If you want another cool bass line, check out Marathon. See what you think...

Anyone brave enough to take on this album, let alone this song, deserves my upvote and I clicked the subscribe button too. THANK YOU!

Power windows and hold your fire imo is Rush’s pinnacle in terms of tech and musical prowl essence Peter Collins their producer just passed but think this combination was stellar in Rush catalog

to me, the line about feeding machines and not people is the analogy of the person ignoring the homeless man on the way to the fuel pump

If you enjoyed the bass on this song, you'd also like the bass on some other songs from the same album (Power Windows, 1885). Two songs in particular with great bass are "The Big Money" and "Marathon". For full effect, I'd suggest the studio versions, just as you did with Territories.
