Agreed. I got on the Rush bus in 1981, first saw them in concert in 1984 and then 54 more times over 31 years, attended their RRHOF induction in 2013 and was at their final show in 2015. RIP Neil Peart and thank you to Rush for a brilliant career.
These three raised the bar for all musicians! What a inspiration for so many people in a time where people are in need of a true honest sincere example. What a legacy they leave in their wake!! Very grateful the ten year old version of me Heard that song that summer evening. Changed my life!!!
Such a down-to-earth, warm, real, talented, inspiring person! From meeting him in person and seeing him and his family vacation together, I can tell I was in the presence of a terrific human being! Here's hoping for more of his art!
One of my very favorite people on the planet. Ged is such a beautiful soul. His voice and music have been one of the most inspirational things in my life.
It truly was, and still is for me. And think of the younger generation who will experience the same and wish they could have ever seen them live. We are truly blessed!
Geddy Lee The greatest bass player for the greatest rock band that ever was or ever will be. Thanks to you Geddy to Alex and to Neil for the decades of great music. I am grateful to have been alive while Rush was in the world I've been a fan for so long and have massive respect and love for Rush and it's members.Thanks so much for posting this and thank you Geddy for the book I will be reading it.
How do you stay so youthful and full of the spirit of the radio, Geddy. First concert I went to 1980, Rush was my inspiration to survive HS. Oh, my mom too has dementia. Love and long life and health to you and Alex! Long Live Rush!
This is my essay to people who may not know RUSH or who Neil was professionally and his contributions to the art of drumming and lyrical writing! Enjoy! RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR! With heart felt admiration and sincerity! Gary😊
As long as it’s not Ray Daniels. I don’t know how he is around RUSH, but based on many accounts I’ve read of Van Halen in the 90s, he was a real dingleberry. In fact, Ray Daniels was one of the key reasons why they had the first falling out with Sammy Hagar in 1996. Ray was also the reason why Eddie used sequencers for songs that he played on the Oberheim live during the early days. Ray wouldn’t “let” him play keyboards like he wanted to do live
@@MyVideos-fm7ugRay is hot garbage. He wanted Rush to do another tour leg even after Neil had said he would be done. He was all about milking every penny out of Rush and I was not 1 bit surprised when it came out that he was a major problem within Van Halen.
@@garyg719 that’s EXACTLY what I thought! Because if he treated Van Halen the way that he did, and being every bit the spark that led to Sammy Hagar leaving the first time in 1996… one must question his relationship with RUSH despite him being their manager the entire time That also makes me wonder why RUSH put up with him for so long. They just don’t impress me as the kind of guys who would put up with that. Then again, Ray’s greed and lack of being able to differentiate between people and depreciative assets could maybe be a lot of the reason why the guys toured so much and did so many records, especially seeing how once Neil came back in 2002… it was like they were picking up where they left off After reading Roadshow, that book was eye opening in a lot of ways. For example, Neil talks a LOT throughout the book in such a way that it feels as if he hates touring. Perhaps, that’s a huge reason as to why he rode his motorcycle - it have him an outlet away from the monotony. It was more exciting and made the tour pass by much quicker being out on his motorcycle where he felt “productive”, versus the confines of a tour bus, or being shuffled around from airport to airport on a charter Neil was the kind of guy who had to be “productive” at all times. And that usually involved reading, writing, traveling, observing, and learning. And what better way to be than on his motorcycle I rambled a bit there. But only to help further emphasize who Neil both WAS and what I speculated from Roadshow. I sometimes wondered if the guys being on the road as much as they were if that was something they truly “wanted” to do. To me, as times it seemed forced. Whether that be pressure from fans and not wanting to let them down. Or the likes of someone like Ray Daniels whom, for contractual reasons, couldn’t say no to Sure… as fans, we know a LOT about RUSH. But I guarantee you we know significantly less about them as a band and as people than what we DO know. And that’s fine. I can respect that. I also believe that they let out certain interesting facts to feed the appetites of the “inquiring minds”. And its been enough to keep them satisfied without getting “too wise”. That’s a deliberate strategic move that’s done to establish a wholesome “image” and to further ensure privacy… that way if any scandal might arise, they can make it seem like a media witch hunt, and it will eventually go away as if it never happened But that Ray… I thought that my perception of him was spot on. I’m glad that someone else saw that and reenforced my statement like you did. Thanks for the feedback
I know one thing . That joke he told about the guy who got piss drunk and threw up all over himself, and was then busted by his wife, and then had to convince her that some drunk guy threw up all over him, then shit his pants for him…. My gut tells me that wasn’t just some funny “joke” told by Alex… that was a real-life revelation 😂😂😂😂
Loved Rush since mid-seventies and seeing them at the Igloo in Pittsburgh! Seeing them in Phila. and Hershey, Pa., Cap Center in Landover, Md. and Cleveland, Ohio. The journey was so enjoyable as a fan!
My friend went to high school with Geddy, in grade 9 the first Hendrix lp came out. Geddy invited my friend and a few others to listen to it in the library but had to pretend it was beethoven, (they had it on headphones). Back then toronto establishment/ teachers would have considered you very freaky if that was what you were into. I wonder if Geddy remembers , if I go to his show I will have to ask him!
What I like the most about the book was his honesty. For people who think he was some kind of perfect guy he Totally shatters that illusion and really shows you who he really is And human and faulty just like all the rest of us
Yes, I believed all of that. I was really surprised about the drug use over the years. Interesting that it never came out. For one, I guess they didn’t believe in promoting the drug scene, like some many others have done before and since.
Watching Rush going effectively "full circle" here, and even watching the circle expand to dimensions that I never imagined that it would... is just so gratifying and incredible.
Really appreciate you posting this mate….got tickets to see Geddy in the UK in December with my daughter….i first saw Rush in 1979 in Stafford, Bingley Hall, I was 18. I took my daughter Jess and God daughter Sian to ( what turned out ) was Rush’s last UK concert in 2011….I’m so glad they got to experience that magic….cheers mate
From a Gary to Geddy your one of the most talented musician of all time! No one touches your talent on bass, keyboards, and singing! You are the definition of Unique and RUSH is not RUSH without your playing and vocals! To quote the movie: I LOVE YOU MAN! Alex and Neil as well!!
i was born in Toronto and it wasn't or isn't uncommon to see Ged or Alex out and about in the city. I saw them a few times and no we never bothered them even though my brother and cousin are massive fans since the 80s. i did get to meet Alex at a function around 2001 ish and he was so frigin hilarious and gracious it made my heart smile. He's awesome.
@rickmcgraw4395 thanks for capturing the Q&A where Geddy answers my question (2nd question after Alex’s question) and Geddy told me I need to ask for more expensive gifts…😂 Now I can share with my family and friends who don’t believe me. It was definitely an Effin’ great night!
NEVER could I have even imagined that the very first listen of “and the meek shall inherit the earth” in my high school friend’s basement listening room, back in 1977, would be the start of this long journey for all of us. A flood of emotion, period.
Thanks for the upload mate, really appreciate it!!! That song segment of "Gone" had me in tears tonight. 01:30:24 The image of three shining lights, two armchairs and two barstools didn't help to hold back either... *sigh* - Long live RUSH!!!
Yes, thanks so much for the upload. I'm a long time Rush fan, but due to health reasons had to skip his Cleveland show. This put me right there in the audience!
Thank you very much for posting this, I just wish it wasn't so chopped up. Missing about a 1/2 hour and often cuts him off mid sentence.. definitely better than nothing and I appreciate it. Can't wait to see the Cleve Show
This is an inevetible cycle of any band which includes RUSH . So glad to see and hear Geddy...and one day Alex will appear to guve hus expert comical personna to it all. Get better Alex we miss you next to your brother ❤❤.
This makes probably the 5th time I watched this. This presentation that Geddy has so greatly put together… we were in such need of this. And not just for the fans, but for Geddy himself , and for Lerxst, even though he isn’t actually there. My intuition says he’ll be showing up at one of these. And yes… Geddy managed to “get” me just like everyone else each time watching. To my knowledge, no one else has really done anything like this before. Geddy Lee is setting a new standard, and I think that we will soon begin to see others doing “My Effin Life” tours as well Hell… we’ll probably even see Keith Richards do a “My Effin Life” tour once he catches wind of this . In fact, he probably SHOULD considering how he has made it this far. He’s turned out to be a bit of an anomaly
@@ALTDOK667 yes, book signing tours like he did in 2019. But to make it into an actual presentation in this manner is something I don’t think anyone has ever really done before.
I saw Rush at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island for the first time, too. Power Windows Tour. A young Primus opened and was BOOED off the stage by NY'kers in 1986 after playing YYZ perfectly 😆. Then RUSH came out with Primus T-Shirts on, in support. It eventually helped.
I saw them Four times Odesa Texas grace under pressure, San Antonio Roll the Bones, Lubbock Texas Roll the Bones and finally The Alamo Dome and evening with Rush tour! I honestly have to say they were all excellent but the last one they played songs not ordinarily played. The Alamo dome Was so awesome
The amazing thing about RUSH is that none of the guys seemed to fall into the trappings of fame, the excesses of fame. They were famous, they had all the access to the excesses but they always valued family, friends and staying grounded to who you were before becoming famous.
I miss Neil terribly, but I'm so grateful Alex and Geddy are still with us....they still have rocket juice....leave them alone, you insane fans.....lol
They are one of the few bands that lived their lives true to who each is as a person, not the fictitious personification of the rock star life that simultaneously amuses and disgusts us. They aren't the typical band where you can quickly identify them by their sound. In fact, it was quite the opposite since they evolved and changed much like the band The Police. Yet we, at least for me, listened to see what they would come up with but also what was being sung. In some, if mot many respects, It's a shame that they have a cult-like following because they have something to offer every everyone. For example, their is (naturally) the drum lover, the bass lover, the guitar lover, the synth lover, the lyrics/poetry lover, the introvert, but there is also the music theory lover. For me, it's always been a trio of fascinating people who entertained me, got me through rough days and helped me celebrate when life was good. Thanks for posting this Rick and thanks to the guys from Rush.
Although I never met Geddy, I see him at Toronto Blue Jays games, where he sits 6 rows below me, marking his own scorebook. People leave him alone for the most part, and let him enjoy the game. He is a huge Blue Jays fan.
I would like to hear Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson play Rush songs with only guitar with no synthesizer and no drums to hear the guitar parts better, with or without the words.
I wish I could have been able to get tickets for a show, but it never happened. So being able to see this is awesome. Been a fan since 1979 when I was only 4 years old. I'm sure I will end up buying the book soon. I have read a few books on Rush over the years and will be interesting to hear it from the horses mouth. Or hamster with a blowtorch up its ass.

Yep along with the Dead and Jimmy Buffett..

from a rush fan in Africa, thank you for this
One of my very favorite people on the planet. Ged is such a beautiful soul. His voice and music have been one of the most inspirational things in my life.
Couldn't have said it better. 🙂
There are no adequate words for what he is meant to my life. Much, much love and respect for everything you've done.
my gratitude for decades of life changing music
It truly was, and still is for me. And think of the younger generation who will experience the same and wish they could have ever seen them live. We are truly blessed!
You absolutely cannot have put it better !.
Thank you
Thank you for this - some of us will not be able to see Geddy live, so it's great we can experience a little of the evening. Thanks.
Very moving when he talks about Neil. What a great great band Rush were.
Such a legend. I really wish him and Alex all the very best in future endeavours.thank you for being the soundtrack to my musical life.
THANK YOU for this upload! I couldn't afford the expense & travel to see Ged. This is the next best thing!
Just started chapter 7 on Geddy Lee's biography.
And I can't Echo enough how much their songs meant to me throughout my life
So grateful for this... I am not able to attend any of the events. Thank you for posting, and thank you Geddy for the years of music...
RIP NEP ❤
Geddy Lee The greatest bass player for the greatest rock band that ever was or ever will be. Thanks to you Geddy to Alex and to Neil for the decades of great music.

I'm on my second listen through. So much to absorb in just one Pass. Love this man!
How do you stay so youthful and full of the spirit of the radio, Geddy.
First concert I went to 1980, Rush was my inspiration to survive HS.
Oh, my mom too has dementia.
Love and long life and health to you and Alex!
Long Live Rush!
Be cool or be a castout.
So glad I was in attendance.

Very well said!
Thanks for sharing your recording
Thanks for sharing this!
Time Stand Still is my favorite too! I love Hold Your Fire! Yes!!!! The music lives on forever!
I just love the lyrics on that record.
I finally found this book and read it. Amazing book and I hope he will do a show in south Dakota.
Good job! Thanks for filming and posting it up!
Thank you SO much for this share. I appreciate you!!!
I am thoroughly enjoying the audio book. Geddy Rocks! (figuratively and literally)
I really really really hope that Alex is one of the guests in this tour!! That would be epic!

This is one of the most vulnerable interviews I've ever seen.

I was at the Denver show this week. It was really special night for us Rush nerds.

Geddy n Alex possible play again. Rush tunes
Man! I was living so close, wish I would have known.
What a great interview with geddy I'm so glad I seen them 27times between 1978-2015.

Love Rush, love Geddy, what a kind and compassionante man.
Thanks for the video, hoping that he adds some Texas dates to his tour..
Geddy has got to be the most non selfish dude that I have ever listened to. He never puts himself above anyone.
Thank you greatly brofessor
I saw them
Four times
Odesa Texas grace under pressure, San Antonio Roll the Bones, Lubbock Texas Roll the Bones and finally The Alamo Dome and evening with Rush tour! I honestly have to say they were all excellent but the last one they played songs not ordinarily played. The Alamo dome
Was so awesome
Dec 3....Chicago!!! Cant wait 👍
The amazing thing about RUSH is that none of the guys seemed to fall into the trappings of fame, the excesses of fame. They were famous, they had all the access to the excesses but they always valued family, friends and staying grounded to who you were before becoming famous.
On my second listen of the audiobook version. : )
I'm partway through and it's quickly becoming my favorite thing ever. I want to hear the 1,200-page version!
Brian Koppelman is the host and he’s a helluva talented writer/producer and all around great guy.
Just found this video and CANNOT believe I missed this...this would've been a highlight in my life...BLIMEY!!!
I miss Neil terribly, but I'm so grateful Alex and Geddy are still with us....they still have rocket juice....leave them alone, you insane fans.....lol
They are one of the few bands that lived their lives true to who each is as a person, not the fictitious personification of the rock star life that simultaneously amuses and disgusts us. They aren't the typical band where you can quickly identify them by their sound. In fact, it was quite the opposite since they evolved and changed much like the band The Police. Yet we, at least for me, listened to see what they would come up with but also what was being sung. In some, if mot many respects, It's a shame that they have a cult-like following because they have something to offer every everyone. For example, their is (naturally) the drum lover, the bass lover, the guitar lover, the synth lover, the lyrics/poetry lover, the introvert, but there is also the music theory lover. For me, it's always been a trio of fascinating people who entertained me, got me through rough days and helped me celebrate when life was good. Thanks for posting this Rick and thanks to the guys from Rush.
Geddy is one of those guys who looks more badass the older he gets.
Although I never met Geddy, I see him at Toronto Blue Jays games, where he sits 6 rows below me, marking his own scorebook. People leave him alone for the most part, and let him enjoy the game. He is a huge Blue Jays fan.
Geddy Lee It IS tall Guy?
Aside from extremely talented ....etc etc etc ..........what a nice dude !
We would love to see you and hear you speak at The Paramount in Rutland Vermont!
Wishful thinking...
Not a lot of creative or aggressive booking...
Too bad! If there was a Geddy clone, that's who would get booked!
Phenomenal.
I would like to hear Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson play Rush songs with only guitar with no synthesizer and no drums to hear the guitar parts better, with or without the words.
Live for yourself, there’s no one else more worth living for.
I wish I could have been able to get tickets for a show, but it never happened. So being able to see this is awesome. Been a fan since 1979 when I was only 4 years old. I'm sure I will end up buying the book soon. I have read a few books on Rush over the years and will be interesting to hear it from the horses mouth. Or hamster with a blowtorch up its ass.
That went by much faster than I thought it would.
Dirk! 💫
