Get enough for the first two today we have side one of a farewell to Kings came out in 1977 and I believe this was their most successful album at that point like their albums are starting to get more and more successful now we started with moving pictures because we were total
Rush neop fites and that’s probably the first album that most people heard of Rush we kind of started with that as well which was enjoyable then we went back and then the the yeah 2112 the 2112 and now we’re doing this album which is the album after 20112 okay hey patrons thank

Put things like giveaways and polls and surveys you get to see what we’re putting on patreon all that kind of stuff so check it out well I think I read somewhere that he hits his highest note ever on this album somewhere that’s exting so I’ll try and
Point that out if I hear it that’s that’s a mad respect somebody who can hit high notes and still sound good and for the first time they’re not recording in Canada they actually recorded this in Wales oh I think the whole album was recorded in like three weeks and then
They spent subsequent weeks you know mixing it and stuff okay you want to see the cover okay this is done first of all by hu s who did most of their covers and has also plays keyboard occasionally although I don’t think he plays on this
Album we got a puppet you see the I see puppet strings I don’t see where the puppet is this is a puppet cuz look at the strings you can barely see him oh oh oh oh oh he’s a puppet yeah he’s supposed to be a puppet he looks like a
Crazed puppet he’s kind of creepy and I think that that’s a demolition site I read in Buffalo New York and in the background on the left there that’s Toronto that’s like a hotel in Toronto so I believe that this cover is representing the themes maybe from the title track which
Is the first song we’re going to listen to It’s called FW of Kings so for this album they made a few early music videos I mean this was from 1977 I don’t think most people were watching music videos in 1977 so we’re not going to watch the videos probably while we’re
Listening but I may put them up in the background depending on whether YouTube lets me or not A medieval Opening like a traveling Minstrel Mhm Bells [Applause] okay enough of That I like their style I [Applause] [Applause] do [Applause] when they turn the pages of history when these days have passed long ago will they read a m with sadness for the seeds that we let go we turned our days from the castles in the distance I cast down on the P of least
Resistance SI foot love hatred fear and Light with the heart and Gro of Iing demons dress in K Guys Bing do the multitude anding at the Wife the Hypocrites are slandering the sacred Halls of Truth ancient Noles showering they on you can’t we find the minds that made us Strong oh can we learn to feel what’s right and what’s wrong what’s [Applause] wrong Cool Loving it [Applause] Though As usual there’s a lot going on in this Song 50ties full love hatred fear and [Applause] Li we Hearts anded [Applause] iceing demons he does not think too highly of Them scaring at the white W can’t we we raise our eyes and make a [Applause] St can’t we find the might to lead us close to the [Applause] heart wow that Tempo change they are tight Man you know they rehears the out of this Stuff I had a feeling it wasn’t Over I had to get the minstral back in there for a second before they finished I think it’s over now I’m not sure uhhuh they’re a deep band that wants to express a multi-layered vision and story yeah and I get that this is just the first
Song so there the rest of it probably going to come into sequence of like wait a minute you know it’s not the whole album the whole album is not this but yeah so what it reminds me of though is like a philosopher child who who’s like
Well why can’t we do this and why can’t we do that but they haven’t had that World experience of like this is why certain things beat you down and they’re supposed to so you can rise up and be stronger I don’t know this song I don’t think but I’ve heard people buzzing
About it so kind of looking forward to it it’s called zanadu okay so I believe this is one of their big songs it’s based on the poem Kuan searching for immortality of course he is wasn’t zanado do a movie there was a movie called zanado do uh no it was Olivia
Newton John Newton and I believe the movie starred Olivia Newton John and Jean Kelly okay I do remember as a kid hating the song zanado do this song No Olivia the Olivia Newton John song Oh no I I had a girlfriend in high school who listened to it Non-Stop
And I learned to hate it that way it was very flowery floofy yeah oh my goodness roller skates we’re going to watch it live at some point and it supposedly is a live Showcase of all the different stuff going on I don’t know so I’m looking forward to it this might be the
First song where the synthesizer is integral part of the song I mean use synthesizer here and there but supposedly it’s a big part of this song so we’ll see they had been touring with this song A little bit before they went in the studio to record it in fact I
Believe I read that when they went to the studio first they did like a sound check and they ran through it a little bit and then their second take they just laid it down and that’s what that’s what’s on the album it’s pretty impressive we now present to you zenedo
The conclusion of side one of a farewell to Kings more Birds it me there’s a little Pink Floyd esque but like a a natural way these are kids who grew up playing in the Woods even the synthesizer makes me think of like a when through um reads you know like in a Pond that’s probably what they’re going for that kind of image it’s pretties it’s pretties M Like Bending the frequency there at the end is Cool [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] It’s a cool f for Opening [Applause] [Applause] Oh It sounds like the meter changes but it [Applause] Doesn’t there’s all sorts of fun percussion in This A This P feel like a Kid to seek the sacred River out to walk the caves of ice to break my fast on honeydew and drink the milk of Parise Okay what’s the milk by the best Myster from my name B I took a clue scaled the fron in mountain tops of East the lands on time and man alone searching for the Lost to stand within Thewhere of Life the last Immortal Man by the sacred River out to walk the caves of f oh I will on honey and drink the mil [Applause] the W [Applause] back to original Scene A thousand years have come and gone but time has me boy star stopped in the sky Fring in an everlasting waiting for the world to ending of the night praying for the light resing I [Applause] Do there such weirdos yeah I enjoy that like I would much rather be with a weirdo than a non weirdo held within the pleasure Dome decreed by to take my bitter Triumph as a man imort man never more shall I return this gave the light for I have di on
Honeydew and drop the mil the [Applause] beise what is It [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Go [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] this part sounds so familiar to me it’s a cool [Applause] Transition Well that must have been fun live with that kind of finish too they love playing with their little instrument toys that was fun well what I find fascinating is that this song is a rush fan favorite I’m getting the impression this song from comments but it’s not an easy song to hear at
First because there’s so many changes and stuff you don’t like it’s hard to get into it because you don’t know what’s coming and you can’t get com with it it’s a travel song but it’s one of those S different if you’re moving the more you hear it the more it becomes
That much more awesome because it’s not that simple so sure for those of you who love this song will you please tell me in the comments when you like first when you remember first hearing it and why you may fell in love with it that’s
Curious to me I want to know I want to know sh she’s an inquiring mind I am well it’s great being back in rushland it is it’s magical it’s a it’s a magically it’s a fun place it’s a fun place yeah we appreciate it that we’ve never been
Before it’s like a fun going to Disneyland uh part of me thinks that you know we’ve always been there at least I have there’s a part of me that’s just like I’ve always been Inland and I prefer it thank you for those of you who have welcomed us into the rush
Brotherhood yeah next time we’ll be starting side two so join us for that too see you then I
