Rush-YYZ (Exit Stage Left 1981) LIVE

3 minute solo drum!

[Revelator]

This was THE solo of all drum solos. It still is. Straight up magical and seemingly impossible. Yes I learned it note-for-note back in the 80’s. I had to. Had to figure what this wizardry was all about. Never gets old. God Bless Neil Peart.

I was 18 the 1st time I saw them perform this tune...I'm 57 now and it seems like yesterday. I miss them big-time. R.I.P Professor. Best progressive rock band ever in my humble opinion.😊😢👍✌

[medmac]

This is the best live version of YYZ and Neil Peart's best drum solo. It's pizza for my ears!
Rush

[jashfath]

Best version. When it kicks back in after Peart's amazing drum solo and the crowd man, powerful shit.

[AlexGreenGarcia]

I was 12 and this was the most awesome thing I ever heard...Now 15 concerts and over 25 years...I still love this guys!

[santyrush]

The best sólo of all times, Rush is Magic.

[sssssham]

I remember setting in my barracks in Germany when I first heard this in 1982. Still just as amazing today.

[MrRezRising]

Celebrate this amazing song, amazing solo, and all around amazing man, The Professor on the drum kit.

[bluetiger]

This track turned me into a MONSTER on the drums in high school....and I still am.

I remember being so excited that Mtv was going to be showing "Exit: Stage Left" as one of their Saturday concerts. Although the concert video is full of legendary performances, this track did not make the film. This bummed me out for a week.

[AxeMan]

THAT'S the one, with that solo. Yes.

[jamescuesta]

YYZ the best drum solo performed by neil peart the professor on the drum kit

[stikle]

I would give both of my nuts to see the original unedited footage of this solo, which was talked over and truncated at the end of the Exit Stage Left concert video. This solo is the reason I learned to play drums all those years ago.

[ryandunbar]

If I hadn't heard Jimi Hendrix play voodoo child and listened to this before that, I may have been a drummer instead of a guitarist 😆

[DandsDrummer]

This is the only perfect drum solo in history.

[theprogwalrus]

is it me or do they play the tempo slower live than the recording?

[jonathanmoor]

this bass is the fender jazz bass i think
