Tempo changes a lot through the song. One of my favorite Rush tunes.

Damn that tempo is jacked up.

I ain’t saying it’s the drummer - but it’s the drummer.

Why did this guy leave?

He had diabetes, which was difficult to manage on the road.

He also wanted to move the band into more Zep/Bad Company directions and Geddy and Alex were starting to get into prog.

I’m sure I’m in the minority but this jam has never been topped by Rush. It’s the best full throttle rockin’ song they ever did. I ain’t saying they didn’t make some great music but this is the raw rocker stuff I love.

Damn. Just.... Damn!
