Album Notes Rush: Geddy Lee (vocals, classical guitar, bass); Alex Lifeson (guitar); Neil Peart (drums). Recorded at Toronto Sound Studios, Toronto, Canada. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Rush's sophomore release FLY BY NIGHT has become a milestone in their recording career. Although such future releases as 2112, HEMISPHERES, PERMANENT WAVES, and MOVING PICTURES would be superior albums, FLY BY NIGHT signaled a change from Led Zep blues-rock to more original and challenging material. But most important of all, FLY BY NIGHT was drummer/lyricist Neil Peart's first recording with the band. Peart had replaced original member John Rutsey just in time for Rush's inaugural U.S. tour, and became an integral member by the time of FLY BY NIGHT's recording. Several early Rush classics can be found here. "Anthem" is a barnstorming opener merging a memorable, repetitive guitar riff with positive lyrics, while the title track is one of Rush's most pop-oriented compositions (second only to future hits "Closer To the Heart" and "Time Stand Still"). Also included are two tracks which turned out to be crowd favorites at Rush concerts for years to come- -the sci-fi epic "By-Tor and the Snow Dog" and the rocking ballad "In the End," while other highlights include "Beneath, Between, Behind" and the reflective "Making Memories." With FLY BY NIGHT, Rush had begun their journey towards becoming one of the world's finest hard rock bands. | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews  Always great!Review created: 06/19/08 by:  This old RUSH album is one of my favorites. Actually, I have yet to hear any bad RUSH. Anyway, the album is good. It is RUSH in their long hair, younger years glory. Neil is amazing, as always. For RUSH fans, it's a MUST! Review ID: 10000000007643761 Was this review helpful?

Second album from Rush shows just how good this band is. Geddy's bass guitar is prominent and shows why he is one of the very best bassist of all time. Alex also show's why he is also one of the best lead guitarist's in all of rock n roll. Neil Peart's first album with Rush and takes over most of the lyrical work from here on through the bands catalog. Bytor and the snow dog showcases where Rush is going after this album and In The End is just an awesome tune. The title song Fly By night is actually one of the few cut's I dislike on this album. As a Rush fan this album is probably my 5th favorite effort from them. It is a must have for any Rush fan especially those of us who are not to impressed with their work after Permanent Way's which I believe was the last of the Rush I liked and knew. I just wish we could put the band in a time capsule and have them make music like they used to during this period. The only comparison to Rush and U2 is they both show how money destroys the music.

Report this review   Hey, What's Your Drummer?Review created: 11/21/06 by: starcollector-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Music Pros: The instrument playing, some of the songs are excellent. Cons: These guys show off too much, the final two songs are crappy. (Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Album Overview" section. The section titled "Detailed Track Discussion" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and they do not constitute the essence of this review. Lastly and most importantly, this review is not necessarily written by the point of view of a Rush fan.) Introduction OK so Neil Peart joins the band! ... Nerd. Track Listing Best song: Anthem B- Best I Can A- Beneath, Between and Behind C+ By-Tor and the Snow Dog B Fly By Night B+ Making.. Review ID: 10000000002377293  And a man named Neil descended on the bandReview created: 11/15/04 by: pyfr-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Music Pros: Good blend of hard rock and technical proggery, Geddy's voice reaching climax. "Anthem" rules. Cons: Lifeless 70's sound. Some of the lyrics drip buffoonery. Usual penchant for going berserk. As a fellow recovering nerd, I feel entitled to beat up on Rush. It's not like I'm some kind of a jock who just doesn't comprehend what they were going for. Rest assured- I get it. They were smart Canadians who were way too good at their instruments and obsessed with topics that Outkast and Uncle Kracker will never sing about. And furthermore, they wanted everybody in the world to know how deep and musically adept they were. "Fly By Night" was really where Rush began. Oh sure, you can call that poor man's Led Zeppelin of a debut album their first release, but this is where the real Rush... Review ID: 10000000000232152 Rush's Fly By Night - Don t Fly By this oneReview created: 05/07/01 by: jag2112 -- a member of Epinions Pros: Great guitar licks, Solid Bass, Neil Peart Arrives! Cons: None. Absolutely None. Note: This review is part of a re-writing process I'm going through on my earlier Rush entries. Some of them clearly needed a little more polish so I felt obligated to do so. Rather than delete the original and re-submit a new review, I felt it best to simply modify the original and add a notification of the updated review in PTiemann's Notification System. Thanks for reading... ... It's not that John Rutsey wasn t a decent percussionist, but neither he, nor anyone else in the Rock world of the 70 s (or 80 s or 90 s or today) could compare to the masterful execution of a Neil Peart. Add to... Review ID: 10000000000232153 I always go back to this album...Review created: 04/22/07 by: matzaballman -- a member of Epinions Pros: All but one of the eight songs. Cons: <i>Rivendell</i> puts me to sleep. How in the heck could Geddy hit them high notes? A month ago now, in anticipation of the new Rush album Snakes and Arrows, I went to Rush's website and gave a listen to their new single Far Cry. After doing this, I did the exact same thing I did five years ago when I first heard the single One Little Victory from Vapor Trails....went back and listened to Fly By Night. Why? I just love the sound and the overall simplicity of this album. By simplicity, I'm not referring to the playing, but the straight forward and clean production and the song arrangements, which were not too complex back then. And, of course, I absolutely love the songs. I.. Review ID: 10000000003435101 The rotten lyrics are gone!Review created: 04/26/01 by: HawgWyld -- a member of Epinions Pros: Neil Peart arrived and provided some great lyrics. Cons: "Rivendell" is hard to take. Prior to this album, drummer John Rutsey left the band and was replaced by Neil Peart. Peart, of course, provided the final ingredient which made the band so popular through the years. In addition to being a fantastic drummer, Peart also provided the lyrics and format that really made the band unique in the rock n' roll world. Before explaining why Peart was so important, let me mention a thing or two about the previous album, which was simply called Rush. On that one, Bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson wrote some powerful music that was obviously based on bands such as Led.
