I love this so much! Rush's music takes me to a place in my mind where there are no problems at all. Especially this old recording of Xanadu !!! They give me indescribable pleasure...AND only three men are making this beautiful, concise, brilliant music. BRAVO!!!! LOVE IT!!!

@SinglePerfectSphere I totally agree. In the early days the music press had it in for Rush being very hostile to the band, their music and in particular Geddy's voice. I for one miss the high pitch he had when he was younger. That along with his accent and the way he phrased and used vibrato was so mystical and magical. For me Rush are the quintessential progressive band of highly talented and gifted musicians that have ever graced a stage and boy did those three guys perform (seen them 3 times) Their shows were well thought out just like their music. They performed purely for their fans entertainment not like some of the egotistical so called gods, hero's and self acclaimed stars. Rush are the real deal and don't let anyone tell you different.

54 myself, and yes that much time has passed. Unfortunate for me. Takes a while for us to stand and say RUSH remains best of all time, huh? At 52, you've seen & heard what I did. We all had so much to listen to? Cast my vote for RUSH, and I look at the the likes of Freddie, Sir Elton, Kansas, ELO, BTO, cast my vote toward Canadian 3 guys and stand by my vote.

The great thing about Rush is that all 3 of them have talent. And not only that, but they each show the talent, as their are awesome keyboard, guitar, bass, and drum parts in each one of their songs. Rush is a gift from the gods (along with all other Rock and Metal songs there are)

The birds chirping, the wind rushing, the gongs gonging. Yes Geddy is using a synth but the ambient sound reflects the studio version of this fantastic song. No doubt Rush are capable and do play nearly note perfect renditions of their songs but this is a wonderful video with the album track overdubbed. I never intended to accuse Rush of lipsyncing live. But this is not the "Live" version of this song. I'll stake my life on it.
