788 ( Rush - Show Don't Tell )

This is a song that played yesterday on the iPod whilst I was on the road. I noticed that I had not chosen a song off of Presto as of yet as well, which is one of the albums that in my opinion marked the sunset of the '80s Rush sound.
This song is a masterpiece in its construction, while it sounds straight-forward, it is actually quite a complex song. The odd syncopation of the notes with the drums are just a work of art. Geddy Lee's bass solo is nice addition as well; I love the sound of his Wal bass and his use of popping notes.
A very nice song for this lazy Sunday.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
Here is a live performance of the song on YouTube.
