I must have watched that video about a year ago because I commented on it! And yet I don't remember that.

It's amazing, isn't it? You think you know everything....and then you get flabbergasted by something 40-odd years after the event!
Fascinating stuff. I love hearing isolated tracks. Geddy's bass and vocal sound is phenomenal. Neil's playing not too shabby either. Alex's clean arpeggiated parts were a revelation for me too. I'm not 100% convinced that's Broony though. Geddy liked to mimic an English accent and there might be some other tape trickery happening, but amazing to hear it after all this time. What a song though!
I had no idea there was that 2nd guitar part in the song!
That incredible whammy bar solo is a very interesting thing, because the first nine or ten times I saw Rush Alex didn't use one at all. But on the Signals tour he was using one all the time on a Strat and I was genuinely amazed at how fluent and musical he was with it. Really surprising for a player brought up on Gibsons.
