I agree as well, I absolutely love this album. Years ago, when I heard Geddy say this it made me sort of sad again because I love this album. It also made me wonder how many artists and groups secretly hate certain albums they put out.
I really appreciate the tutorial, thank you very much! A am a huge Rush fan, and Lakeside Park is one of my very favorite Rush songs, both musically and lyrically. The line in the song, “And though it’s just a memory, some memories last forever”, really touched my heart. I have found through out the years, it is absolutely true! 😎👍🎸
Thank you so very much for this outstanding video! I was having so much trouble with the opening riff, before I saw your tutorial, I almost gave up on it, but now it makes perfect sense to me. I’ve been a Rush fan and guitarist for over 40 years. Any Rush video that you could do, would be greatly appreciated, and tutorials on the lead parts also if possible. I have to say it’s very disappointing to learn that Geddy has such a low opinion of this song. It’s hard to sing a song with power and conviction, if you don’t believe in what you’re singing. I personally think Caress of Steel is one of their finest albums, regardless of general public opinion or record sales, and Lakeside Park I feel is one of Neal’s finest works. I hope that Neal was as fond of this song, as much as I am, and didn’t share Geddy’s negative opinion of it. Lakeside Park reminds me so much of when I was growing up, and as I grow more older, the song is more and more precious to me. My very favorite Neal Peart lyric line is, “Though It’s Just A Memory, Some Memories Last Forever”. I can tell you with all certainty, that indeed they do! 😎👍🎸
Geddy never said he disliked Lakeside Park as a song per say…he said he couldn’t stomach listening to his vocals on it😎 He’s nuts…I personally love everything about the song. It gives me such strong nostalgic vibes listening to it🤘
"if I hear "Lakeside Park" on the radio I cringe. What a lousy song! Still, I don't regret anything that I've done". His words, haha. I don't think he liked it very much.
Do me a favor - search YT for "Rush - Lakeside Park - Instrumental only," slow it down to 75%, then go to 00:30 and listen to the guitar. Then when you play the chorus, once you get to the "cowboy" G (where the B string is fretted on the D), instead of switching to a standard C chord, slide that fingering up 5 frets so that both E strings are on the C. Strum that, then arpeggiate it and tell me if you think that sounds more like the original recording.
Thank you kind sir! very informative vid I like how you threw extra interesting tidbits into the feed bag(my cranium trash crampactor has an insatiable appetite for gathering & storing knowledge);🎸🎶✌️🐾jf
Wow, love your channel. Wish I'd have found you sooner. I'm pretty much a beginner, and I've always wanted to learn some of these rush songs. Not sure if I can handle it, but I'll have fun trying! Subbed!
Absolutely beautiful song on an underrated, unique, raw and artistic album.
Yes!!! More early Rush please!!! No One At The Bridge & Bacchus Plateau🤘
I'm with ya brother...
I totally agree that this album is underrated; Caress has some of my favorite Rush stuff on it.

..... Lakeside Park Live 'all the world's s stage'
When I went to R40, they did Lakeside Park. So he hated it, but he still played it one more time.
