I AM in fact a Canadian. And you are, in fact, required to know the lyrics to this song, Action (by Streetheart) and anything by the BareNaked Ladies...
Looks like he's using Dave Grohl's monitors and microphone. The drums are probably loud as is Dave screaming at you, but the other instruments are probably pretty low in the monitors. The front row is more likely to go deaf!
This would be my dream come true. It looks like it might have been one of Brian's, too. I'm so proud-feeling for him, watching this.. stellar job, class act, excellent cover by all.
It's a bold statement for Upstate New York too! Especially for Auburn, NY. ( 20+ yrs CANUS GAMES 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇲) Orillia ON Rocks.... Just not as much as RUSH ... And Brian ❤️
Lisa Reichard Lol, I’m not Canadian but I have a lot of friends & family who are (all of my in-laws and a couple cousins). Everyone who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s are Rush zealots. To hear Dave Grohl say that IN Canada I thought was funny. It would be like going to Liverpool, England and saying “nobody knows all the words to Hey Jude”
I have to agree. I don't care what they are saying about Dave in the press lately, he has always been a class act. There's one video floating around where he gives a kid his guitar. Who does that?
TheStones1965 Green Day does this a lot too. There’s even video of them pulling 3 guys on stage to play bass/guitar/drums. You know those guys got laid that night lol. Billie Joe is always giving his guitars away too. Total classy band
@@jeffharder8706 yep went to a green day show probably 15 years ago, up front, hoisted a younger kid up on my shoulders and he got picked to go up and play guitar. Killed it and he got to keep the guitar too.
The grunge bands from the 90's that have continued to shine like Green Day and The Foo Fighters are proof that keeping it classy and always wanting to stay relevant is possible without having to create drama. Both bands started from pretty much nothing and you can see that are still grateful!
This is the number one reason why I like Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters, he always does cool shit like this! What a great human being you are Dave. RIP to the greatest drummer to ever walk the face of this earth. We will sorely miss you Neil Peart!
@@favrerules04 this is why Dave is the greatest living rockstar alive today. Dave has never forgetten what is important about being musician and that's good tunes, and understanding that he owes it all to fans. Dave will always try and do what's best for fans to have a special experience when he performs. And Dave has never let the ego go to his head believeing he is a Rock Good should be worhsipped, no Dave knows he's a human and so a the millions of fans and he treats them all with more respect than any performer since Ronnie James Dio
This video is a recording of the best night of that man's life. Imagine being that guy and having this video to show to people. I'd put it on my resume.
Maybe not his Supreme Moment , maybe he has Kids, maybe one of them grows up to be the 1st Canadian Pope, maybe one day he's at his local bar and one guy says boastfully, " My Son is the biggest lawyer in New York City!", then another Feller pipes up, "Oh Yeah My Daughter is the first Cherokee Indian Woman to be running for Pee resident of the United States of America and she is also a Senator of the Great State of Mast-A-2-Shits, so top that!, So this guy's simply says," My Son is the Pope".
An awesome cover of Tom Sawyer. Why? Because these guys were having a great time and the crowd was having a great time with them. If that isnt an amazing tribute to Rush, then I dont know what is.
Dave Grohl inducted Rush into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. He was more excited than the band was (or at least more excited than Alex was. He had nothing but blah blah blah to say)
I've been a Rush fan for well over 3 decades now and that was one of the most awesome things I've ever seen and heard! Amazing job Brian. you nailed it! And how awesome are the FF's to give this guy the chance of lifetime to have the experience of a lifetime? It's doesn't get much better than this. And RIP Neil.
Uploaders Note: Alright, certain stubborn Rush fans out there. "It took 7 guys to pull off what 3 guys in Rush can do - this sucks". This was a fan pulled from the crowd and performed on the spot. He did pretty awesome in my opinion - better than a lot of people commenting on here could likely do. Whew, I feel better now.
This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my life. I'm from the city that this was recorded in, Edmonton, Alberta some how I feel cooler and I don't know Brian from anybody. The dude was brilliant!
They say everyone gets their 15 minutes of fame in this life. This guy got 6, and did what 99.9 % of us can only dream of and I applaud the shit outta him !!!
in morgan freeman voice narration : " ..And so it began, in a time when fear and darkness held court over the pious and the weak , a valiant hero emerges from the black Void to unshackle the masses w the Golden Voice of Truth. ....and that man's name wis "Brian".✨ 💪
I wish there were a way to direct people to your comment. It fits in so well with the whole vibe of this. Thanks for keeping that moment alive just a little longer! But now I am waiting for your movie to start...
@@GCAT-zv9in i may be off but, this is very much reminding me of "the life of brian" by montey python(may have fubed the name a bit,its been years since i watched the python movies...need to do that again....good stuff...
the fact that brian didnt have a PA in his own ear to hear himself over the HUGE MUSIC behind him ...i guarantee you had he a PA in his air he would have done even better....but still...out of the goodness of fun!!! amazing time was had
And the sound guy blew it pretty good too. Brian could of been way louder in the mix... I understand wanting to bury an outsider a touch in the mix, just in case he's terrible, but that was ridiculous.
The mic was all set up for Dave's yelly voice and in a big production like this, most of the mixing happens in soundcheck and gig time is locked off. You can see the stage crew rushing to get the spare mic they would usually use for something like this but he starts on Dave's too quickly.
O.M.G So,so awsome. The way Dave look"s is Pretty Priceless( lol) but he must have made(Brian's) millennium sayn' such kind words, after he sang, Fuckn' Priceless.Dave is so eclectic, funny, love's his fans,; The Foo's are the total package!!!
My favorite all time "Dave face" is when Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joined the Foos onstage at the O2 arena in London to cover RnR and Ramble On. At one point during Ramble On Page does this high to low slide about 15 frets up the neck and Dave just freezes for a second watching, soaking it in... A definite "I'm onstage with FN Page" moment in time.
+umainebearman forget the vocals..there are not may ppl who know anything but the "bridge" to Tom Sawyer much less all the words..I'm pretty sure he repeated the same verse twice but I was still amazed that he even got up there!!!
The thing about rock is the spontaneity and the pure sloppy raw fun of it all. Kudos to The Foo Fighters...they know what is at the heart of this music! That was far from polished, but it was pure fun!
The fact that he probably can’t hear himself too great (no in ear monitors) speaks volumes! Excellent job considering dude! And Dave Grohl is such a great guy!
I've never been much of a Foo Fighters fan. It's not my kind of rock 'n' roll. But god damn it they are always humble guys who are good to their fans, so that in turn makes me a fan, even if I don't listen.
yep! he had no chance! when you have a shitty sound on your mike you try to compensate it. A Pro would have complained after some seconds... But Good Job Brian!
+Christian Ponder Yep. Seen them live 3 times and I always tell people, if they're in your area and you're anywhere else, you're doing yourself a huge disservice and should be ashamed.
+Spencer G grohl and the band are just down to earth cool fuckers...what can't you love about them. i'm not a huge follower of foo fighters (but am of rush) but hugely respect his multi talents and that doc he did on rock.
Kudo's to Brian! And, Grohl's face was fantastic! Chris did an amazing job pulling off the solo and Taylor did an awesome job on the drums!! All around great cover and tribute to Rush!
WOW! great video! Did you get anymore ofnthe show? The 6yr old at the end that Dave was kind enough to sign her cast is my pride and joy. looking for any video of it I can find. Way to go Brian !
I just got the chills watching this (first time since Neil passed). I cried, smiled and thought I am one lucky dude to see Rush live multiple times. Each time it never dawned on me that it would all end sometime. It did, I’m grieving and cognizant of living in the now and appreciating special times, now! Thank you, Brian. Thank you #Rushfamily
+AVL Seriously, that's a really good video -- that you held steady for so long is outstanding. Oh, and the performance was so great, too. Almost forgot that part. That guy can now die happy, having sung fucking Rush with fucking Foo Fighters. He was actually pretty good. Even Geddy has trouble with the high notes.
It's f'ing Canada. Knowing the lyrics to Tom Sawyer is like a citizenship requirement.
👍😂
ah-hah-hah-hah :>)
Too much seriousness in this comment 😁
I AM in fact a Canadian. And you are, in fact, required to know the lyrics to this song, Action (by Streetheart) and anything by the BareNaked Ladies...
@@Fretless99 Action is my number one pulse starter, followed closely by Don't Stop Me Now and Red Barchetta...
He went home and added “lead vocals for Foo Fighters” to his resume.
I absolutely would do that. At the very least, it'd be a good icebreaker
"Tom Sawyer" lead vocals for Foo Fighters
Ride Red well with a last name like Toni....
@mike toni all things considered I think he did a fine job you dick
Jon Wallace also, lead vocals of greatest Rush tribute band ever!
No in-ears, 120+ decibels, no rehearsal, stone cold. The guy deserves a medal, if not a statue.
100%
That man trusted his soul and just let it rip!
Facts brudda
Looks like he's using Dave Grohl's monitors and microphone. The drums are probably loud as is Dave screaming at you, but the other instruments are probably pretty low in the monitors. The front row is more likely to go deaf!
I Austin I could not agree more. By the way I lived in Austin Texas for a bit when I was young great place. Everything about Texas is great.
Brian went to work the next day - and no one believed him.
hahaha
... until he shows them the video!
SelectCircle lmao
Yeppers lmfao
@@HeyMykee ... They'll just say "Photoshop Brian, now back to the fryalator"
Fun fact, Brian is now the proud father of 14 children all born around 9 months after this gig.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
HILARIOUS!!! 🤣🤣🤣
You forgot by Different Mothers!
You forget, girls don’t know Rush, at all.
All those hours spent singing Tom Sawyer in the car paid off for Brian. Epic times with one of the coolest bands around.
❤
The drummer's smile. Radiant.
He nailed the whole song, on the stage, with the Foos, with all the audience SANG WITH HIM.
I mean how batshit crazy that shit is for anyone here??
So damn cool
This has certainly become a line on Brian's resumé. Meritoriously.
This would be my dream come true. It looks like it might have been one of Brian's, too. I'm so proud-feeling for him, watching this.. stellar job, class act, excellent cover by all.
You may be cool, but you'll never be "coming out of the audience to join the Foo Fighters for an epic Tom Sawyer cover" cool.
Unless it's 'joining the Who on stage to fill in for Keith Moon' cool
GG Brian GG
That guy is a hero. He's taking home all the women from that concert lol!
That's the fact Jack!
Right
“Nobody knows every word to Tom Sawyer” is a bold statement in Canada
very bold statement.
It's a bold statement for Upstate New York too! Especially for Auburn, NY. ( 20+ yrs CANUS GAMES 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇲) Orillia ON Rocks.... Just not as much as RUSH ... And Brian ❤️

Who cares about Canada or US, if your English speaking you better know the magic and mystery that is Alex, Neil, & Geddy
It's practically the national anthem at this point, isn't it?
Give a fan a chance to shine in front of 20,000 people. Class act.
I have to agree. I don't care what they are saying about Dave in the press lately, he has always been a class act. There's one video floating around where he gives a kid his guitar. Who does that?
TheStones1965 Green Day does this a lot too. There’s even video of them pulling 3 guys on stage to play bass/guitar/drums. You know those guys got laid that night lol. Billie Joe is always giving his guitars away too. Total classy band
@@jeffharder8706 yep went to a green day show probably 15 years ago, up front, hoisted a younger kid up on my shoulders and he got picked to go up and play guitar. Killed it and he got to keep the guitar too.

Tell him he rocks!
Brian’s awesome well done dude
brian i kissed geddy lee columbus ohio! not as cool as that but pretty cool a dream come true
I wanna buy Brian a beer !!
The rock world needs about 100 more Dave Grohls. He respects the past but also makes new music that doesn't sound like everything else.
I could not fucking agree MORE!!
I agree too. So refreshing to see someone of his status showing so much respect for his fellow artists.
Tlacuache 99 the meta in music now is chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-chorus-chorus, so at least grohls style is better
definitely an asset to the rock world. great drummer, good singer and writer

@@shawnsmith3621 It was sad to be watching Taylor wailing away and realize he's gone. Loved the video and of course a Canadian knew the lyrics.

Haha such a relatable comment mate!
I love the look on Dave's face while Brian is singing.. like "Holy shit he's pulling it off!"

Huge Rush fan here, and I can’t imagine having the guts to do what he did....and he did a passable job on no notice. He’ll never forget it.

I’m sure you’re sad about Neil. Hope you’re feeling alright
@@ernestogasulla7763 He fucking Nailed it. Passable does not do it justice at all. Nailed It!!!! Awesome
he did good enough
Same can't be said for Nate on the bass

Imagine being that guy and having this video to show to people. I'd put it on my resume.
I'd fucking retire, go out on top
In fact it would be the ONLY thing I would put on my Resume
"Yep, I'm on about 30 seconds after Dave Grohl calls me a motherfucker"
I would never stop ejaculating.

Totally.
The best karaoke I've ever seen!
Amen brother! That is what music is all about.
Just found it! I have zero issues with it! Not sure any band could pull this off with a short notice replacement for a lead singer!
Dave Grohl inducted Rush into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. He was more excited than the band was (or at least more excited than Alex was. He had nothing but blah blah blah to say)
legend has it that every person born after this is somehow related to Brian.
Hahaha ahhh hahaha ha ha ha 😂😆😆
Literally LOL
Ha! Awesome comment!
💫🌎
I went back in time and now I am related to Brian.
that dude may not have the greatest voice, but his love for the song & this once in a lifetime opportunity was just AMAZING!! Good for him!!
Alot of actual singers would not dare to try, Brian DARED!
Yeah, just to get a chance to do that is so cool
Live, many singers don’t demonstrate a ‘greatest voice’.
Neither was Getty Lee's voice but I'll agree, it certainly had a specific rustic charm and quality to it. Indeed, good on Brian, that was AWESOME! :)
GO BRIAN!!!
Brian's last name is "Ballsofsteel" :)
Fact. Huge stones to pull that off............
yes. but, he may still have peed himself.
Danny caress the balls of steel
Absolutely
best comment ive read all day.

He has a fan blowing on him to cool him off.

I wouldn't be , lol .
And Dave says, "Don't fuck it up!"
Mercutio mxrtioth b
.
and thus became known as the almighty... "fuckin' brian"
I agree... that'd take some nerve to get up there. I'd be afraid I'd blank out on the lyrics or something.
Dude had a lot of balls to do that lol
Many balls, none of which have descended judging from his high notes.

How do you live your life after that knowing this won’t be topped.
This made me laugh 😂 thanks. Brian did an awesome job.
Go Brian. You have big balls my man. Total Kudos.
Hell, for a guy they pulled out of the audience that's pretty damn good. Doesn't even crack on the high notes.
Hegelian Triad Huge balls. I could never do that and I'm not shy!
What he lacks in a big nose he makes up for in big stones...
I watched him push through the crowd to make it to the front. At that moment I knew that it was going to be FUCKING AMAZING.
so it wasn't set up?
@@pinup60 ah no!
I don’t think this dude had a bigger fan that Dave Grohl. He was rooting for him the whole time. Awesome!

Agree...but oh my friend, Brian was not scared At all. He’s a new world man. Lol. Awesome performance.
Not bad, not fucking bad at all Brian.

I firmly believe Dave Grohl is everything that is great about the human race.
Dave is the rock star that other rock stars look up to. Plus he has a spot on Christopher Walken impression.
Dave is everything that is right about rock stars!
Yep
Yes...He is...In fact, if we ever get to the point where we are betting the future of the human race on one human being, I'm going with Dave Grohl...
He out Geddied Lee !!! Wow !!!

Loves Canadians as well. Worships voivod
Please check my humble audio cover ruclips.net/video/u_quqMe8Qu0/видео.html

Brian this is your world, the rest of us merely walk upon it
Dave's telling the singer not to fuck it up, meanwhile the keyboardist and guitarist both fucked up their respective parts pretty massively
And the sound guy blew it pretty good too. Brian could of been way louder in the mix...
I understand wanting to bury an outsider a touch in the mix, just in case he's terrible, but that was ridiculous.
The mic was all set up for Dave's yelly voice and in a big production like this, most of the mixing happens in soundcheck and gig time is locked off. You can see the stage crew rushing to get the spare mic they would usually use for something like this but he starts on Dave's too quickly.

Very true, Brandon. Most don't realize how difficult those conditions are performance-wise - let alone the damn nerves! Nerves change EVERYTHING...
That is one of the coolest things that I have EVER seen. This is every concert-goer's favorite dream. Very cool, and very fun to watch. Amazing!
totally!! I wanted to do that so many times!! I dont think I'd have the cool to go up there and perform.. I'd be shaking all over lol
This video left a smile on my face.
+Mike De León This makes me smile really hard, but I think the music video for Big Me makes me smile a little more.
I've never been much of a Foo Fighters fan. It's not my kind of rock 'n' roll. But god damn it they are always humble guys who are good to their fans, so that in turn makes me a fan, even if I don't listen.
Come on, sound engineer, crank Brian's mic!
If we're being real I think it's better that he didn't.
I thought the mix sounded fine but any drifting in the vocal sound I would put on Brian who probably hasn't had much practice with arena shows.
yep! he had no chance! when you have a shitty sound on your mike you try to compensate it. A Pro would have complained after some seconds... But Good Job Brian!
This isn’t a professional recording. It’s some guy with a phone. Of course you’re not gonna have the best sound.
Brian hasn't learned mic dynamics...
Foo-king awesome! [
Thanks! I am a member of the anti-vertical club!
Brian lived every Canadian's 15 minutes of fame dream!! Well mine at least.
This all awesome and all, but how fucking cool is Dave? I want a job where I smile that much!
Foo Fighters are f***ing awesome
+Christian Ponder Yep. Seen them live 3 times and I always tell people, if they're in your area and you're anywhere else, you're doing yourself a huge disservice and should be ashamed.
+Spencer G
grohl and the band are just down to earth cool fuckers...what can't you love about them.
i'm not a huge follower of foo fighters (but am of rush) but hugely respect his multi talents
and that doc he did on rock.
forget the foo fakers, check out Dominic Fragman tom sawyer on youtube...
I think he did amazing being put on the spot and Dave Grohl & the Band always perform stellar. They gave that guy a memory that will last a lifetime.

Kudo's to Brian! And, Grohl's face was fantastic! Chris did an amazing job pulling off the solo and Taylor did an awesome job on the drums!! All around great cover and tribute to Rush!
YES!!! NOTE for NOTE!!! :D
YES! YES! YES! to everything you just said! I couldn't believe how spot on they were.

WOW! great video!
Did you get anymore ofnthe show? The 6yr old at the end that Dave was kind enough to sign her cast is my pride and joy. looking for any video of it I can find.
Way to go Brian !
Sadly I did not. But that was an amazing moment. I wish that I did.
Thanks anyway! Good post!

Greatest day of this dudes life. And that's Rock'n'Roll as hell.
How cool. What an awesome opportunity!! Great job, Brian!
I love Dave's reactions XD
Absolutely brilliant. Remembering all the words and the timing of each entry point is awesome.
Best quality audio of this performance that I've found. His voice is muffled in all the other videos I've seen.
Great now I have to listen to Moving Pictures 12 times.
You mean 2112 times? 😁
I just got the chills watching this (first time since Neil passed). I cried, smiled and thought I am one lucky dude to see Rush live multiple times. Each time it never dawned on me that it would all end sometime. It did, I’m grieving and cognizant of living in the now and appreciating special times, now! Thank you, Brian. Thank you #Rushfamily
If only Paul Rudd was there.
So true!
Alfie Hammond slaappedie baàz mon!!
Today’s Tom sawyee
Slappin da bass
Lots of guys lick each other's basses...
I'm even more impressed with the quality of this video. The video and audio are top notch! What are you using by the way?
Thanks for the nice words. It was filmed on an iPhone 6. My arms were numb by the end!
AVL your pain appreciated friend !
+AVL Seriously, that's a really good video -- that you held steady for so long is outstanding. Oh, and the performance was so great, too. Almost forgot that part. That guy can now die happy, having sung fucking Rush with fucking Foo Fighters. He was actually pretty good. Even Geddy has trouble with the high notes.
cameraman skills 10/10
Just saw this fn awesome
