Whats most amazing is this was the first time these kids played together, no rehearsal, just laid it down in one take. Kids from the school of rock. Little ellan the base player & yoyoka hadn't met any of them before. Just outstanding talents

I got a cramp watching these guys play. Neil tired me out. Gods

such power, such groove...just so f@cking tasty!

In a bootleg recording of Working Man, Neil in his earliest days with the band would do a 2-3 bar extraordinary fill in concert versions of this song at a part which I can't remember as I write this. I haven't been able to find the recording I mention for quite a while but I keep searching. The fill I speak of was exemplary and was like a mini drum solo over Alex's mini guitar solo at the same time. Neil certainly did or was allowed by Alex and Geddy to "improvise" what had been recorded in the studio with John Rutsey. It was like the "new guy" showing that he was here to replace the "old guy".

The ascending Tom fill at 9:10 is my favorite drum fill of all time (one of them at least). It perfectly fits the song and it’s super creative

Being a RUSH fanatic from Neil's hometown I can confirm all of what the requestor has sent you and you read aloud. Rutsey left due to health reasons and was replaced with Neil for their first major tour. Rutsey was a basic rock drummer mostly into rock music like Bad Company. Both Alex and Geddy were far more interested in "English music" like Genesis, Yes, etc. ie. more sophisticated music so there was a schism of sorts between the 3 members of the band. None-the-less, Neil joined and the rest is history. I could go on......

Oh good, I've already watched this interview on Rick's channel, guess I'll watch your thoughts too!

I hear the Sabbath. When I first heard this record, "Working Man" reminded me of Sabbath and "Finding My Way" reminded me of Zeppelin.

This is me when I open a window.

It is a great version of Eastern and Western jazz culture blended beautifully together..you can hear the Eastern music version first..meaning far East..and then the West version after that..a fantastic jam composition..

This song remind me of my life very much

If you noticed Chad’s left foot is always moving when he plays and has said something to the effect that he chalks it up to his nervous energy. I’m guessing that it’s the same way with his right foot on the kick drum.

Led zeppelin had nothing on black sabbath Black sabbath created many forms of metal and other music Led zeppelin created glam metal

Michael used the classic grip, instead of the power grip. Rare in rock music.

Hi. I'm reading Ged's autobiography right now. Here's the real story. They finished playing a show at a bar and went into the studio at midnight. They recorded all the music in about three hours (!) and went back the next night for vocals, however, they had lyric issues. John was supposed to deliver lyrics that night, but he flaked out, never showed up, and Geddy, with the clock ticking, wrote all the lyrics for the album in about an hour. He was used to improvising lines on stage, so he used those 'mumblings' as a basis. 'Working Man' was about all the dudes in the bars that they used to play at. Donna Halper, last I heard, is now a Professor of Communications at Emerson College in Boston.

joey was like 16 or 17 when he was already smashing drums with slipknot

Danny sets his drums up so he doesn't have to cross his arms...ever... Danny what time signature is this He replys "which limb?"

Rush, Sabbath, Led Zep, all heavy metal back then🤘🏻. I love this jam, this studio version was played so much, so loud, back then.

Here’s my thought. Pearts style resonates more with me. Who knows if there would be a Neil peart without a John rutsey though. What do they call that? Serendipity? Everything happened exactly like it was supposed to and Neil knew that and never took it for granted.

Some radio station in the US picked this song to play because of how long it was...it was known as bathroom break song so the DJ could run to the bathroom & get back before the song ended...the listeners thought it was a new Zeppelin song & began to request it...that was their first big break since it was difficult to find places to play live in Toronto at that time...when Peart joined the band they had 2 weeks to practice before going on tour opening for Kiss...

John wasn't flashy but he was a solid drummer.

Andrew, I am just a regular drummer from the same city as he. I was working hard to understand and learn as much possible as I can from Dave Weckl and similar level drummers. Then, I sean Gergo as a child literally playing on stage without any boundaries, problems or what so ever... He is just an UFO. Both technically, both musically just a whole another level. Usually people have its own level, and fight for step that over beyond the possibilities, beyond the limits. He has probably some limits but we can not understand that. Those boundaries are over the ordinal people sense.

I am reading Geddy's book My Effin Life right and he talks about John Rutsy. Although he had health issues Geddy says the main reason was that he was more of a straight ahead rock drummer and Geddy and Alex wanted to pursue more progressive rock. Also, the night before they were supposed to record the vocals John tore up the lyrics so Geddy and Alex had to write the lyrics on the fly.

lol Geoff’s a natural baritone

He's got chops, but it's the KISS makeup is what really seals the deal.

I owe Matt a huge debt of gratitude. He joined the DW roster while I was employed there. Of course, huge perk getting passes to see Tori with him a few times. Backstage soundcheck at Irvine Meadows. Grabbing a bite in Santa Barbara before the show with him and Jon. Afterward, getting her to sign a drum head I brought along. I owe Matt big! Maybe already mentioned, but that muted bit was Jon on bass. Love the way he plays. And Matt I hold in such high esteem with the likes of Vinny Colaiuta. Smooth and so fkn tasty! Being a drummer myself, my talent doesn't equal my passion. That said, Tori is not of this world. First time was back in '94 at the Wadsworth. Just her and her piano. Valerie and Eddy were also there. I know because I walked smack into him as I was turning my head checking out Valerie thinking to myself, she looks so familiar. LOL

So you're saying that goal setting is often mythunderstood?

Crazy! This is probably Marco's warm up routine.😅

Fior more Apples to Apples, listen to All the World's A Stage, they are still playing the 1st album 2 years on. Or, compare this to Anthem/ Fly by Night from the 2nd album.

What you really need to check out, is Neil’s version of Working Man from All the Worlds a Stage. Only a two years after he joined. Especially his drum solo at the end. 👍👍👍👍👍

Rutsey left in '74, after 5-6 years in the band, for the classic 'musical differences' reason. Geddy and Alex wanted to go more progressive, Rustey wanted to stay as a 'four on the floor' rock n roll band. His diabetes was a big factor too. So he left, Neil joined, and the rest is history.............

I love John Rutsey and that first album but Neal was the third part they needed imo. I have always believed they were the most Talented Rock band of the 70's .

8:50 You are absolutely correct. If the members of Led Zeppelin had each individually been incorporated into separate bands none of their potential would have been reached. Led Zeppelin was a brief moment of music brilliance where the right people came together at the right time to make some of the most incredible music that has ever been made

How can you not like the original Working Man. It rawks! Rutsey was a fine drummer. He was more straight ahead, not really proggy. Rush would have been a vastly different band had Rutsey stayed the drummer.

Tool covers No Quarter. Check it out

You absolutely did!! Welcome to Slipknot, Eloy!

When I was a kid in the seventies my older sister was a Zeppelin fanatic.we shared a tiny bedroom in a tiny apartment which is why I think that I became such a big fan of Zeppelin. We would always sing the “ahahah” part together. What a kick ass song

Finding my way is my fav’ from their first album

Could not agree more

Neil's and John's playing are almost 180 deg from each other, but the world is big enough for both. As you said, John's playing was more blues-rock oriented, in the pocket, keep the groove. He was happy doing that and he did it very well. Neil, on the other hand, was more composition-oriented. He loved being busy (Keith Moon was an early idol). His approach to drum parts was that he didn't want to get bored playing the songs numerous times, which is part of the reason he doesn't play the same fill 2x in the same song. But his approach also was a way to challenge himself. He was ALWAYS striving to improve, progress, challenge, move forward, 'ok, I mastered that, what else do I need to work on?' Again, 180 deg approaches to the same instrument, but both styles are perfectly wonderful and have their place.

My first concert was this tour

Hey man, where about do you place your overhead mic? I'm trying to determine the position/height your using but its kinda hard to tell from the angle of the video. I was initially doing a 2 mic recording setup with my overhead being directly above the snare but now I'm using a SM57 to mic my snare so that seems like it'd be overkill. Any suggestions on placement/height would be appreciated.

Love walking into the Hamilton Rock Shop and they have Tool blasting 🤘

I just checked out your assessment of Bill Ward Black Sabbath drummer I've been playing drums every bit of 60 years and I'm fortunate enough to still get gigs here and there and I just joined a Black Sabbath tribute band and I never studied Bill Ward before and it's a blast He's a mofo Good assessment thanks for adding rock on KW

I saw many tours going back to 81. Working Man was usually part of a medley in the early days and true to the studio version. Changed up when the sets got much longer in the 90s. Thanks for your great content.

As much as I love later Rush in all of their proggy glory, this is more my kind of heavy metal. Easily in the top 5 of my favourite songs they made. The drive, the gritty distortion and the lyrics. Not to forget the incredible guitar solo. This one has it all.

I think if John would have been in a bad company type gig he probably would have killed it!

I saw Rush maybe 10 times as a teen in the 70s. Every show had some improv but Lynyrd Skynyrd was the only band I know of that went out of their way to play live songs exactly as they were on an album. Anyway, funny, but while of course I loved Rush live, as I got older I enjoy the studio song versions MUCH more than the improvised videos and "live" shows on you tube. Maybe I'm older, more cynical...whatever, but the songs I learned & loved as a young'un sound best the same way they sounded when I unwrapped the vinyl version some 50 (fifty! good lord) years ago. Ok I'm old, but would if Bach or Mozart could come back for a day, would they prefer a full orchestral rendition of one of their classics, faithfully reproduced note-for-note? Or some kind of AI-assisted version, w/ some hip-hop flavoring & remixed w/ samples from across the modern music spectrum? That's it, I don't really have a point to make here, just an observation/opinion. Love your channel, and FWIW i think you should ALWAYS lead w/ a song's studio version- as the band originally intended it to be heard. Later, if you like it, graduate to live, extended- jam-type versions. Cheers!

ILAN RUBEN is fucking a Machine!
