In A Tidewater Surge Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 QUOTE (KennethRush @ May 19 2010, 02:44 PM) The way Geddy sings during the verses of Faithless: Everything during those parts is awesome. "And all the preaching voices - Empty vessels ring so loud As they move among the crowd Fools and thieves are well disguised In the temple and market place" "And all the shouting voices Try to throw me off my course Some by sermon, some by force Fools and thieves are dangerous In the temple and market place" I was thinking of that today, I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritOfRush Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 The verse following the solo in Freewill: "Each of us, a cell of awareness, imperfect and incomplete; Genetic blends, with uncertain ends, on a fortune hunt that's far too fleet." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoble Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 the RIR performance of Secret Touch. While I don't think it's a great song per se, the part towards the end where the guitar kicks into that awesome riff in the 'breakdown' part of the song is just KILLER. You can just feel the emotion of that moment. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Spindrift @ 0:56 Everything stops and it's just guitars.. Love it Red Tide "The party is disrupted by an uninvited guest" and the part that follows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friendlyvoice Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I'll take a stab at this...but it's impossible to list 'em all: "offfffff SALESmen!!" "Attention all planets of the Solar Federation...we have assumed control" The intro of Xanadu, particularly the main guitar riff Alex's solo in Kid Gloves The SCTV reference in Red Lenses: "...says the National Midnight Star...It's true!" final verse of Mission: "It's cold comfort..." (someone else mentioned this one earlier) I produced a music video using "Mission" years ago for the sports show I was hosting...highlights of Mississippi State's improbable run to the Final Four in 1996. I matched footage of the players consoling each other at the end of the loss to Syracuse that ended their season with this verse. It got to me then and it still does today. 4:22 of Bravest Face: "In the whole wide world there's no magical place..." 5:34 of Digital Man from S&A live as Geddy's bass kicks off the jam Another live moment: the HUGE power chords that transition from Xanadu to Working Man on R30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Here's a more hidden moment that I have always loved. It is not even musical. Old school fans should know it. On All The World's A Stage - Near the end of Bastille Day....when the fan clearly yells "Right On". His voice and moment is recorded in history.

In A Tidewater Surge Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Not sure if this counts since it is technically a Max Webster song but since it has all 3 members of Rush I'll post it. At 1:47 in Battle Scar when Geddy sings "greased wheel" his voice is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EveryNerveAware Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (Rushman14 @ Apr 14 2010, 12:58 PM)The solo section of the Trees gets me everytime, makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. "Sunlight on chrome, the blur of the landscape, every nerve aware" That sends shivers down my spine. Thoughts of riding the motorcycle through the winding back-roads. Another one that moves me is... "To you, is it movement or is it action? Is it contact or just reaction? And you...revolution or just resistance? Is it living, or just existence? Yeah, you! It takes a little more persistence To get up and go the distance" Edited June 8, 2010 by EveryNerveAware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemispheres89 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Bastille Day : The end of it, where it plays the chorus riff over again slowly until the guitar, bass and drums end on a simultaneous blast Cygnus X1 Book 1 "Spinning, swirling, still descending, like a spiral sea unending!" Geddy's scream, followed by the threatening riff immediately after it. It feels like you're watching a movie when you hear this Cygnus X1 Book 2 That musical interlude at the end just before the acoustic outro of hemispheres. It feels like I'm on a pirate ship every time I hear it.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Bag Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I adore Geddy's voice and especially melt every time he scoops into the word "love" on Bravado; particularly at this point: All the hope and glory All the sacrifice in vain If love remains.... Alex's solo on Working Man also drives me wild and am surprised it hasn't been mentioned more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachenFoot Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Went through the iTunes library and this is what I could come up with off the top of my head, looking at the songs. Force Ten - "Rising, falling at Force Ten/We twist the world and ride the wind." Caravan - The first chorus break, with the extended musical part before Geddy starts singing "I can't stop thinking big." That got me from the start. Xanadu - After Neil finishes messing around with the bells, when everyone comes in at the unified guitar riff. The Body Electric - The bridge always does it for me. "It replays each of the days/A hundred years of routines." Between The Wheels - You know in the second chorus live, how Geddy belts the "like a windshield towards a fly" lyric? I like the first chorus when he just sings with the flow. That moment always gave me chills, for some reason. Hemispheres - The part with the bells at the very beginning. Lock And Key - The first chorus. 'Nuff said. YYZ - The part in the middle with the dueling drum solos and bass solos. Gets me every time. Vital Signs - The end. Grand Designs - The fast-synth part at 2:15 (roughly). Probably one of my favorite "moments" of all time. Scars - When the guitar joins with the groove of the sequencer at the end of the song, and Geddy starts singing "Pleasures leave a fingerprint/As surely as mortal pain." Didn't see it coming when I first heard it. Digital Man ...no really, the whole thing does it for me. The Main Monkey Business - The heavy breakdown, guitar solo, and return to the breakdown (2:27 - 3:40). It's just insane, from the thunderous bass to the wicked guitar to the intense high-hat work by Neil on the return. Great stuff. Totem - The first chorus, with the extended introduction to it. "Angels and demons dancing in my head/Lunatics and monsters underneath my bed." That's a great lyric. Ghost Rider - That drum fill before the second chorus, from 3:26 to 3:31. When you hear the guitar riff you expect the drum fill to be like the one prior to the first chorus, but this one's just quick and drives you right where you need to be. It's awesome.
