This is such a happy dinner. I particularly love that Neil, who is so brilliant and articulate, just spends so much of this dinner just giggling. The love is so apparent.
@@HollowGolemhi, i disagree, it's not the camera, yes shy with fans, but exactly like this in real life as per poeple who knew him, geddy,alex and his friends
Geddy actually is a wine afficianado and has an extensive collection, so he knows his stuff. As others have said, this was filmed in conjunction with Beyond the Lighted Stage, which I recommend even if you don't share it with us.
You definitely now need to watch the documentary about them "Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage". Not only for getting to see their history, but to also watch a few more scenes at that dinner that appear during the credits. My favorite exchange from those scenes: (slightly inebriated Neil Peart): "You know about the old adage 'if you stick a bunch of monkeys in a room full of typewriters, they'll eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare'..." (completely hammered Alex Lifeson) " Who's gonna clean those typewriters!! "
Don’t worry about it. If you leave the monkeys in there long enough, they’ll then turn those works into screenplays, and soon you can afford new typewriters.
My favorite exchange, which I am almost sure was shown in the credits but I may be wrong, was: Alex: “when I get over there I will rise to my knees and kick your ass” Geddy: “Rise to your knees? Sounds like a Rush album title!”
Nothing to see, here, folks just a Dirk, a Lerxst, & a Pratt, from the freakin’ greatest band in the world, enjoying drinks & dinner and each other’s company after being away from each other for some time. But, seriously, the level of brilliance and passion and love of art gathered around that table is utterly staggering and then to see that spark of creativity starting to twinkle in their eyes, oozing out of those giant brains, and you know there was something coming after this! Thank you, Charis, for sharing this! It was great visiting with them, again! RIP, Pratt! ✌🏼, 🫶🏼, & 🤘🏼
No other band would dare try this without it turning into a complete shitshow, Rush is one of the only bands that were capable of actually honestly pulling this off, because they were Truly the only ones who cared about EVERY little aspect they brought to the table on and off the stage! RESPECT!!
Yeah, bands like The Police or Motley Crüe could not do this kind of video because it would either end up in a massive fight, or, as you said, be an unpublishable shitshow.
I won't deny the eyes were getting a little moist in the corners seeing Neil here - one of those fellow that you have never met but, through his music and his books, you have gained such an appreciation for him that you are sad that he has moved on.
whenever i feel down & need a pick-me-up, i watch Dinner With Rush - this is one of the best showcases of what it means to be in a healthy, happy rock band. It's not easy being in a band, let alone a successful touring and recording band that's beloved by millions of people. The relationship these three have remind me of all the best band experiences I've been in. It really is a family. It also shows how humor is so important in not only friendship but in a working/business relationship in music. I've had some wonderful dinner experiences with some of the bands I've been in over the years, but I wish we had this experience :) This also makes me miss Neil - he was such a beautiful soul.
Yes! We have so much more in common than that which divides us! I've always loved this clip. They're just dudes hanging out, being silly. Little haunting comments on Neil. "Don't kill Pratt! It's bad for business." And Neil: "I'm dying here." If only it weren't true. But we're all learning that we're only immortal for a limited time. These guys have given me sooner off the finest moments of my life. I appreciate them so much. And I appreciate you for sharing your discovery of Rush with us. They're a deep band, with so many layers to unpeel. Each one is a gift. I've shared many of them with my daughter. It's wonderful to see new generations discovering the music that has inspired me for about 47 years. Thank you!
Holy moo cows! 🐮 This was a welcomed surprise! ❤ I'm joyfilled that you chose to watch this, a perfect glimpse into their true personalities. Other documentary style videos of Rush do a deep dive into their career with a similar flavor, but this is just pure fly on the wall content. Magnificent! 🥰🤘
What a wonderful treat to end the year! Three down to earth guys who have a great brotherhood. Alex = Lersxt Geddy = Dirk Neil = Pratt Both Alex and Geddy have an extensive wine collections. Both Geddy and Alex got married in their 20's and they are still married today. Neil went through a huge tragedy when his 19 year old daughter died in a car accident and his wife Jackie died from cancer within the same year. He went on a very long motorcycle journey to heal and ended up in California where he was introduced to Carrie Nutell who became his second wife. He had a second daughter Olivia who he was teaching to drum before he to passed from cancer. Beyond the Lighted Stage is a great documentary on the band. I think you would enjoy it. Have a wonderful New Year! 🎉🎉🎉
These guys are so humble , when they were touring each of them would ride with the truck crews hauling the equipment during the tours , not just ride separately in their own vehicles,they spent lots of time with the tour crew members
One of the things about the documentary was how it came about. When they were approached they asked the filmmakers "whats your angle? Why do you want to do it?". When the filmmakers replied "we haven't worked that out yet" the band said "yes". They really appreciated the honesty of the people doing it. Rush also said by this point they had almost forgotten they were there so this was them being them. You should check out the whole thing as it is really interesting. The bit about Neil losing his 18 year old daughter and then his long term partner is really gutting and sad but it shows again the humanity of the guys.
@@CharisSellick It is part of a documentary movie called "Beyond The Lighted Stage". Not sure if it is all up on You Tube but the DVD is available and it does stream in various sites too.
This is what happens when you get people together who have been friends and been through some very trying times, have lived and worked with each other for 50+ yrs. We should all aspire to have friends like this.
In 1972, Alex Lifeson (Alex Zivojinovich) was part of a documentary about a bunch of teenagers living without their parents for a few months. I assume there are YT clips that feature Alex and I do remember the most amazing interaction with his parents all captured on film. You're gonna love it...
@@CharisSellick on YT, it is called Rush Alex Lifeson and His Parents Argue About His Future. It is a clip from the Documentary entitled Come On Children.
Thanks! Just because, and Happy New Year! 🎉 A contribution to show appreciation for Rushmas! I hope this will encourage you to do more before next Christmas, as there is soooo much more to love. Thanks again, Charis! 🥰
I think there was a clip of Geddy Lee telling the filmmakers that he was confused why they would want to film the band having dinner together... And it became the last scene of the documentary movie 'Rush: Beyond the lighted stage'. Them 3 were goofy together... and they've known each other for such a long time that this was almost a routine.
That was hilarious! I'm seen a shorter version of that video before but it never gets old. I love Rush! That was fun. Happy New Year, Charis! You are a delight!
I really think you would love the documentary Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage, you could react to it, and split it up into 5 or 6 videos. It documents the band from their beginning up to 2010, including a lot of behind the scenes real life stuff like this one, and interviews with other rock stars and celebrities. It also goes in depth in their creative drive and talks about their early conflicts with the studios. I have loved Rush since my older (rebel) cousin introduced me to them in about 76. This documentary made me love them even more.
The overwhelming Vibe you get from this is how much these guys love each other. They are still full of good humor and good cheer and glad to be in each other's company at this point in their lives. I think this was filmed about 10 years ago or so but they already had a 30-year career at that point. Most bands do not endure to this degree at all and it is a testament to just how much they value each other that something like this can even let us in to observe it and feel a bit of the joy that was obviously their world.
Charis, Geddy and Alax have been friends since they were 14 years old. That's why there so close. Geddy said they bonded mostly over their goofiness then anything. You dd an awesome job reaction to Rush. Happy New Year. Hoping you'll continue with Rush rabbit hole. Natural Science and La Villa Strangiato Pink Pop 1978 instrumental Live, Jacob's Ladde R40 Live in Las Vegas. Witch Hunt Live. All mind-blowing prog rock performances. Happy RUSHMAS.
I have seen every rush reaction on u tube u are definitely the most interesting take I love your youthful enthusiasm I watch your reactions more than the actual reactions keep up the amazing work
A Rush song you need to listen to & react was the last song on their last album "Clockwork Angels"....the song is "The Garden". Some of Neil's most powerful lyrics, possibly foretelling what is to come in the years ahead. He was a genius poet who also happened to be a master drummer/percussionist. RIP to "The Professor. Keep your Kleenex handy for this one.
This is a great video to watch, to see them in their normal lives enjoying themselves eating and drinking is golden! It’s so amazing that a band will do this, to see into their private lives is just magical! Going on your comment about wishing that bands would share things like this, there’s a band that I enjoy watching that coincidentally is another trio called The Warning. They always share their end of tour commentary about their feelings about how the tour went, also they have live get togethers on Instagram or RUclips regularly just to connect with their fans. Last year they played live at the MTV VMAs two songs, More and Evolve, they also toured Europe with Muse, America with Halestorm and Pretty Reckless and some of their own headliners. This year they’re going back to Europe headlining in 7/8 countries and have been invited to Wacken open air 2024. Their Drummer, Paulina has always cited Neil Peart as a big influence and has been awarded best up and coming Rock drummer by Drummer magazine! The Bass player Alejandra is a big fan of Muse and learned to play Hysteria before she was 10! The guitarist Daniella cites several famous guitarists as her influences but as she also is the main vocalist she has had to mix styles to suit what she does. I hope you could take some of your precious time to listen to them, I am sure that you would like them!
The food was great, but the dinner companions were even better. Nice of them to leave an open seat for us at the table. They were definitely not driving home. Happy New Year!
There were two main reasons why this band survived for more than 40 years and put out gobs of great music. The first reason is because they genuinely liked each other. The second reason is because of something Geddy said decades ago. Whenever they had to make a decision there was never a tie vote.
It is very Earnest and quite honest. Growing up as a rush fan there wasn't really a ton of behind-the-scenes materials available in those years, what you knew about an artist was what the press machines put out or what magazine interviews said Etc you could scour through the album liner notes for some inside but we all considered a pretty serious group of dudes and in truth they were when it came to putting out quality work, but they were clearly so comfortable with each other and had such great senses of humor that it was great to finally see that side of them in the later years. The only thing that stings you're a bit is senior interactions with Neil how much they clearly love the guy and it was obviously reciprocated, and now he's gone but at least he left a huge body of work and things like this for us to remember
Thanks for doing this Charis. A very nice surprise. If you want to see what Alex Lifeson's personality is like would recommend you have a look/listen at his Rock and Roll.Hall of fame induction speech. A very serious guy!
I wish that the RUSH tribute band I played in while in college got along that well. The only time that we weren't quibbling was after a show-after we had either played for 90 minutes or did two one hour sets, then we had to load our own stuff because we could afford only one roadie (and he helped, of course). We'd sit and snooze in the suburban on the way back to school while the school PIO drove (it was a private college and he was picky about the venues we played in). To quote Dickens: "It was the best of times" (being on stage) "It was the worst of times" (rehearsals, because the lead guitarist was into Led Zeppelin/Black Sabbath, rhythm guitarist was into Deep Purple and the two girls (keyboards/bass guitar) strongly felt that we should be doing pop songs, but our audience wanted RUSH and responded to only that).
There are tons of videos that you can react to from Rush. Like someone said earlier, "Never enough Rush." Indeed. BTW. I'm falling in love with 'ya each of these Rush reactions. I need to hear you sing. 🎉🎉🎉Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉 Welcome to the #rushfamily
Both Alex and Geddy are serious wine connoisseurs. Geddy has 3 wine cellars in his property! Very much into Burgundy (pinot noir). He has featured in Decanter wine magazine.
Beautiful reaction Charis! A Happy New Year's Eve with more quality reactions to come in 2024 as well! An annual Rushmas would be historic! Historic, I say!!! Take care!
Neil always said Alex cracked him up. Alex and Geddy have been friends since middle school. They cut up together all the time. In recent interviews you can see how hard it is them missing Neil. great reaction. keep up the good work.
I'm so glad you chose to watch this! Here you get to know them on a human level and how funny they are! I have this DVD but I hadn't seen this scene in years, I really enjoyed re-watching it with you. Happy New Year, Charis!
alex and geddy has known one another since jr. high. they were even in the same class. they have known neil since 1974. they were like family until neils death rip. speaking of neil, he was on hiatus for 5 years after he lost both his wife and daughter within the same year.
If you want some rotesserie chicken: Digital Man (Snakes & Arrows Live) If you want some popcorn: Where's my thing/here it is live in Dallas. (Instrumental with drum solo in the middle)
This is great .. so glad you did this one. I have watched this same video several times and really enjoy it. Three of the most amazing people, ever to roam the Earth. I grew up listening to these guys, watching and listening to any interviews that came along. A couple of my high school friends and I had a little band together, at about the time the album "All The World's A Stage" came along, we were absolutely engulfed over that album. We once set up some big speaker cabinets in my backyard (on a hill, over looking the town) and dubbed it "All The World's A Mini-Stage" .. hahaha! .. here we attempted to annoy the community with our failed attempts at reproducing RUSH songs. Ah, such great times! .. I really really miss the 70's, 80's and 90's .. especially the 80's .. such a fantastic time to be alive. I am so fortunate to have been able to experience these things. RUSH has been a part of my life since my Jr. High School days. I have been fortunate to have seen them in concert about 20 times over the decades. Always a spectacular experience. Once snuck onto their stage during setup in Minneapolis .. stole a couple of Alex's picks (shhhh.., he may want them back). My sister in-law waited on them a few years ago here in Nashville, said they were the most gracious people you would ever meet. It's such a weird thing for me as you get to feel as if you know them, personally, even though you really don't know anything about them. Perhaps one of the most exciting times for me, believe it or not, was when Alex appeared on The Golf Channel with Rocco Mediate on the program "Playing Lessons From The Pros" .. That was an incredible experience for me as I was a full-blown golf nut at the time. I have played amateur competitive golf for over 30 years, and it was amazing to see one of my biggest music idols out playing the game that I love and enjoying it so much. I had learned that Alex loves to play golf and does so often. I would give almost anything to go play a round of golf with Alex, it would be so much fun (perhaps even dangerous .. haha). Here is a taste of Alex on the course (try not to pee your pants!) ruclips.net/video/ICtRqjpz5oY/видео.html (Alex appears at 1:42 mark)
This is them getting back together after Neil's "Ghost Rider" after his daughter and wife died and he was unsure if he'd ever play again. You can see their taking baby steps or walking on eggshells almost like when Geddy suggests that if "anything changes." and the way Neil says something about this tour won't be the same as the last one. He wasn't just talking about songs or a setlist, but also him coming back to the stage in general.
RUSH was so private with their lives i am shocked they got this hammered and let somebody film it that's great. We all know they are so musically gifted but just imagine how much IQ was sitting at that table. Good job KID on RUSHMAS the RUSH fans always welcome new ones especially females lol! This rabbit hole you have entered will never end. I have suggested you look into a deep dive into LINKIN PARK their careers were cut short do to suicide so sad just a thought. One more band to think about is SHINEDOWN they have 18 #1 songs on main stream rock charts more than any other rock band since they have started the charts also their lead singer overcame a drug addiction is just a good story but just some thoughts THANKS! ENTRE NOUS \/!
Stewart Copeland said he wished we (the police) could be like Rush because they are such best of friends. So many bands are envious of Rush because they are so close.
13 seconds in and.... Drinking yer dinner again!! Sigh, time for an intervention, lol. The waiter : hey, no nerves at all. ALL wait-staff are side-giggin' Theatre Workers. They would KILL for some camera time. Fridge Magnets... how do they even work ? (when all the fridges are going to plastic) Muscle memory... don't even go there. My fingertip callouses have been gone for a decade or more. I gotta be able to blindly feel the curvature at the end of a root during and endo procedure... acoustic flatpicking vs Paying The Bills? .... hm.... EDIT : but yeah, three friends, giving each other a nice healthy ration of shi.. er... grief. Merry New Year, Charis. Serious good wishes for you and yours.
Hi, new here, love your intakes 👍and ofc rush omg 3 of the most respected musicians in the bizz and being able ti be goofy like this, 👏👏 as per geddy ,we love being together cause we've been laughing for 50 years together. such down to earth guys, how can you not love these guys. p.s. check out live 1997 natural science, AWESOME
Watch Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage. Part of this dinner is at the end of it. In this video part of the funniest content is missing. Alex pretends to be pissed of and says, "I quit the stupid effing band." Geddy says, "Fine! Take your smokes and go!" Comedy gold!
You should watch (and react to???) the Rush documentary...."Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage". You will have a much better appreciation for them and their lives growing up.
Here's a video where you can see them kind of doing rotisserie chicken. Around 2 mins into the song, a guy puts some rubber chickens into the containers behind Geddy. ruclips.net/video/WbsC_fGArVc/видео.html
If you want some more fun Rush content, they did some spoof film intros on their Time Machine tour which are hilarious. This is the one for Tom Sawyer… ruclips.net/video/yjGpa0GuiaI/видео.htmlsi=s84VS9D1aKidOGQM
TOMORROW at 8 PM EST we are doing a New Years livestream! Right here on RUclips! SEE YOU THEREEEEEEE
This is such a happy dinner. I particularly love that Neil, who is so brilliant and articulate, just spends so much of this dinner just giggling. The love is so apparent.
Probably because of the cameras. Neil was famously shy.
@@HollowGolemhi, i disagree, it's not the camera, yes shy with fans, but exactly like this in real life as per poeple who knew him, geddy,alex and his friends
Geddy actually is a wine afficianado and has an extensive collection, so he knows his stuff. As others have said, this was filmed in conjunction with Beyond the Lighted Stage, which I recommend even if you don't share it with us.
Geddy is also in the guiness book of world records for the largest monocle collection
You definitely now need to watch the documentary about them "Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage". Not only for getting to see their history, but to also watch a few more scenes at that dinner that appear during the credits. My favorite exchange from those scenes:
(slightly inebriated Neil Peart): "You know about the old adage 'if you stick a bunch of monkeys in a room full of typewriters, they'll eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare'..."
(completely hammered Alex Lifeson) " Who's gonna clean those typewriters!! "
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The album Rush wrote the amazing last album Clockwork Angels. The Garden Live is a mist ❤ 🌹
Don’t worry about it. If you leave the monkeys in there long enough, they’ll then turn those works into screenplays, and soon you can afford new typewriters.
My favorite exchange, which I am almost sure was shown in the credits but I may be wrong, was:
Alex: “when I get over there I will rise to my knees and kick your ass”
Geddy: “Rise to your knees? Sounds like a Rush album title!”
Nothing to see, here, folks just a Dirk, a Lerxst, & a Pratt, from the freakin’ greatest band in the world, enjoying drinks & dinner and each other’s company after being away from each other for some time.
But, seriously, the level of brilliance and passion and love of art gathered around that table is utterly staggering and then to see that spark of creativity starting to twinkle in their eyes, oozing out of those giant brains, and you know there was something coming after this!
Thank you, Charis, for sharing this! It was great visiting with them, again!
RIP, Pratt! ✌🏼, 🫶🏼, & 🤘🏼

It's not easy being in a band, let alone a successful touring and recording band that's beloved by millions of people. The relationship these three have remind me of all the best band experiences I've been in. It really is a family. It also shows how humor is so important in not only friendship but in a working/business relationship in music. I've had some wonderful dinner experiences with some of the bands I've been in over the years, but I wish we had this experience :)
This also makes me miss Neil - he was such a beautiful soul.
"Oh my GAWD! A stupid little guitar!" Gets me every time haha
Never enough Rush content
Yes! We have so much more in common than that which divides us! I've always loved this clip. They're just dudes hanging out, being silly.

You should see Alex Lifeson in their Hall of Fame speach even if it's in your own time. Also Neil Peart drum solo live in Frankfurt.
I still laugh just thinking about that speech!
Holy moo cows! 🐮 This was a welcomed surprise! ❤ I'm joyfilled that you chose to watch this, a perfect glimpse into their true personalities. Other documentary style videos of Rush do a deep dive into their career with a similar flavor, but this is just pure fly on the wall content. Magnificent! 🥰🤘

Growing up as a rush fan there wasn't really a ton of behind-the-scenes materials available in those years, what you knew about an artist was what the press machines put out or what magazine interviews said Etc you could scour through the album liner notes for some inside but we all considered a pretty serious group of dudes and in truth they were when it came to putting out quality work, but they were clearly so comfortable with each other and had such great senses of humor that it was great to finally see that side of them in the later years. The only thing that stings you're a bit is senior interactions with Neil how much they clearly love the guy and it was obviously reciprocated, and now he's gone but at least he left a huge body of work and things like this for us to remember
This is excerpted from "Beyond The Lighted Stage", the documentary by Sam Dunn and Banger Films. The whole doc is awesome.
Thanks for doing this Charis. A very nice surprise. If you want to see what Alex Lifeson's personality is like would recommend you have a look/listen at his Rock and Roll.Hall of fame induction speech. A very serious guy!
Will never ever tire of Alex's "Julius Caesar" line. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Don’t kill Pratt, it’s bad for business.”
That line used to make me laugh, now it makes me cry.😢
I felt the pinch when he said it.
Happy New Year, Jim!
@@mdu2112 Happy New Year to you as well!!👍
I wish that the RUSH tribute band I played in while in college got along that well. The only time that we weren't quibbling was after a show-after we had either played for 90 minutes or did two one hour sets, then we had to load our own stuff because we could afford only one roadie (and he helped, of course). We'd sit and snooze in the suburban on the way back to school while the school PIO drove (it was a private college and he was picky about the venues we played in). To quote Dickens: "It was the best of times" (being on stage) "It was the worst of times" (rehearsals, because the lead guitarist was into Led Zeppelin/Black Sabbath, rhythm guitarist was into Deep Purple and the two girls (keyboards/bass guitar) strongly felt that we should be doing pop songs, but our audience wanted RUSH and responded to only that).
What an interesting band lineup!
There are tons of videos that you can react to from Rush.
Like someone said earlier, "Never enough Rush." Indeed.
BTW. I'm falling in love with 'ya each of these Rush reactions. I need to hear you sing.
🎉🎉🎉Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉
Welcome to the #rushfamily
I just posted a short on Christmas of me singing! But I have a few old covers on here
I love this: Geddy, Alex and The New Guy. (If you know, you know)
I can say at this point I actually do know!
This is I'm sure going to be highlight of my day. Thanks. Happy New Year!!
Both Alex and Geddy are serious wine connoisseurs. Geddy has 3 wine cellars in his property! Very much into Burgundy (pinot noir). He has featured in Decanter wine magazine.
I have this and love it so much. Thanks for exposing it to a larger audience!
You are seeing how cool this whole RUSH thing is. It’s Very Cool.
Beautiful reaction Charis! A Happy New Year's Eve with more quality reactions to come in 2024 as well! An annual Rushmas would be historic! Historic, I say!!! Take care!
Neil always said Alex cracked him up. Alex and Geddy have been friends since middle school. They cut up together all the time. In recent interviews you can see how hard it is them missing Neil. great reaction. keep up the good work.
I'm so glad you chose to watch this! Here you get to know them on a human level and how funny they are! I have this DVD but I hadn't seen this scene in years, I really enjoyed re-watching it with you. Happy New Year, Charis!
Happy New Year! Look forward to watching more reactions in 2024 🎉
Happy New Year!
Rushmas was fun! Thanks, Grace, and Happy New Year!
alex and geddy has known one another since jr. high. they were even in the same class. they have known neil since 1974. they were like family until neils death rip. speaking of neil, he was on hiatus for 5 years after he lost both his wife and daughter within the same year.
If you want some rotesserie chicken: Digital Man (Snakes & Arrows Live)
If you want some popcorn: Where's my thing/here it is live in Dallas. (Instrumental with drum solo in the middle)
This is great .. so glad you did this one. I have watched this same video several times and really enjoy it. Three of the most amazing people, ever to roam the Earth. I grew up listening to these guys, watching and listening to any interviews that came along. A couple of my high school friends and I had a little band together, at about the time the album "All The World's A Stage" came along, we were absolutely engulfed over that album. We once set up some big speaker cabinets in my backyard (on a hill, over looking the town) and dubbed it "All The World's A Mini-Stage" .. hahaha! .. here we attempted to annoy the community with our failed attempts at reproducing RUSH songs. Ah, such great times! .. I really really miss the 70's, 80's and 90's .. especially the 80's .. such a fantastic time to be alive. I am so fortunate to have been able to experience these things. RUSH has been a part of my life since my Jr. High School days. I have been fortunate to have seen them in concert about 20 times over the decades. Always a spectacular experience. Once snuck onto their stage during setup in Minneapolis .. stole a couple of Alex's picks (shhhh.., he may want them back). My sister in-law waited on them a few years ago here in Nashville, said they were the most gracious people you would ever meet. It's such a weird thing for me as you get to feel as if you know them, personally, even though you really don't know anything about them. Perhaps one of the most exciting times for me, believe it or not, was when Alex appeared on The Golf Channel with Rocco Mediate on the program "Playing Lessons From The Pros" .. That was an incredible experience for me as I was a full-blown golf nut at the time. I have played amateur competitive golf for over 30 years, and it was amazing to see one of my biggest music idols out playing the game that I love and enjoying it so much. I had learned that Alex loves to play golf and does so often. I would give almost anything to go play a round of golf with Alex, it would be so much fun (perhaps even dangerous .. haha). Here is a taste of Alex on the course (try not to pee your pants!) ruclips.net/video/ICtRqjpz5oY/видео.html (Alex appears at 1:42 mark)
Thanks for posting this. I haven't watched it since it first came out.
This is them getting back together after Neil's "Ghost Rider" after his daughter and wife died and he was unsure if he'd ever play again. You can see their taking baby steps or walking on eggshells almost like when Geddy suggests that if "anything changes." and the way Neil says something about this tour won't be the same as the last one. He wasn't just talking about songs or a setlist, but also him coming back to the stage in general.
@@Kanjo16 WELL….GOSH
Woohoo, great ending to Rushmas! Happy new year!!! 🎉
Youtoobs: "theater kid"
Rob Kelly: "nice!" *click"
Rob Kelly: "false advertising" *sues youtoobs*
This was part of a documentary about them called "Beyond The Lighted Stage". You should check it out.
Reviewing this dinner with Rush was a great idea... Bravo
RUSH was so private with their lives i am shocked they got this hammered and let somebody film it that's great. We all know they are so musically gifted but just imagine how much IQ was sitting at that table. Good job KID on RUSHMAS the RUSH fans always welcome new ones especially females lol! This rabbit hole you have entered will never end. I have suggested you look into a deep dive into LINKIN PARK their careers were cut short do to suicide so sad just a thought. One more band to think about is SHINEDOWN they have 18 #1 songs on main stream rock charts more than any other rock band since they have started the charts also their lead singer overcame a drug addiction is just a good story but just some thoughts THANKS! ENTRE NOUS \/!
I’m so happy you did this. ! Love this video Alex is so funny Cheers me up !
not sure if you have found it yet but the rotisserie chickens were used on the Snakes and Arrows tour
Stewart Copeland said he wished we (the police) could be like Rush because they are such best of friends. So many bands are envious of Rush because they are so close.
13 seconds in and.... Drinking yer dinner again!!
Sigh, time for an intervention, lol.
The waiter : hey, no nerves at all.
ALL wait-staff are side-giggin' Theatre Workers.
They would KILL for some camera time.
Fridge Magnets... how do they even work ? (when all the fridges are going to plastic)
Muscle memory... don't even go there.
My fingertip callouses have been gone for a decade or more. I gotta be able to blindly feel the curvature at the end of a root during and endo procedure... acoustic flatpicking vs Paying The Bills? .... hm....
EDIT : but yeah, three friends, giving each other a nice healthy ration of shi.. er... grief.
Merry New Year, Charis.
Serious good wishes for you and yours.
Thank you for all your support this year!
You really should watch the whole doc. It's so good
Hi, new here, love your intakes 👍and ofc rush omg 3 of the most respected musicians in the bizz and being able ti be goofy like this, 👏👏 as per geddy ,we love being together cause we've been laughing for 50 years together. such down to earth guys, how can you not love these guys. p.s. check out live 1997 natural science, AWESOME
Watch Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage. Part of this dinner is at the end of it. In this video part of the funniest content is missing. Alex pretends to be pissed of and says, "I quit the stupid effing band." Geddy says, "Fine! Take your smokes and go!" Comedy gold!
Happy New Year TK
Thanks for RUSHmas 😄
What a surprise! Now you need to react to the documentary that video is from: Beyond the Lighted Stage.
And that's a main reason they stayed together for decades. Friends .
Charis, Alex's accepting speech at the Rocking Roll Hall of Fame it's EPIC.😂😳 Please watch. Geddy and Alex have been friends since 8th grade.
Only great friends could have dinner with so much levity.
And Happy New Year Charis!
Planning their final, and best album.
You should watch (and react to???) the Rush documentary...."Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage". You will have a much better appreciation for them and their lives growing up.
Happy New Year 2024 🎉
Watch the whole Rush documentary. You'll love it.
Neil once said that Alex is the funniest man he's ever met
I recommend Neil's book "ghost rider"👍🏽
My theory is that this dinner was recorded so that they could actually remember what they talked about
Rush is the coolest band of all time.
I hope you are like this in life. I enjoyed you more than the video, and I liked that, too.
❤❤ fan rush from mexico......good react
Here's a video where you can see them kind of doing rotisserie chicken. Around 2 mins into the song, a guy puts some rubber chickens into the containers behind Geddy. ruclips.net/video/WbsC_fGArVc/видео.html
If you want some more fun Rush content, they did some spoof film intros on their Time Machine tour which are hilarious. This is the one for Tom Sawyer… ruclips.net/video/yjGpa0GuiaI/видео.htmlsi=s84VS9D1aKidOGQM
Rush has their own brewery too😊
If vocals are your thing you should definitely check out Lara Fabian. JE SUIS MALADE Live in Montreal immediately followed by JE T'EME Live in Paris.
Have a wonderful and safe New Year darlin.
You as well!
Neil is kick ass too!😮😊
Geddy and Alex have been friends since middle school.i don't know that they ever grown up past middle school.😂
Rush wasted is hilarious 😂
That was awesome to watch..
Happy (early) New Year Charis!
Will you be doing a theme for January?
I won't. I am taking it easy in January since I am in a show!
@@CharisSellickgood luck!
Vapor Trailsis the album they are about to make
This was a first meeting after Neil took 5 yrs off after the deaths of his first daughter and wife.
The comedy parts in the concerts are much better!!
Merry Rushmass
I'm pretty sure they fired up before this (perhaps during) dinner. Need to get the appetite stimulated after all.
