Thank you Neil, for everything you gave the 12 year old me on his first listening through all the years until 52 year old me writes this. The opening of your speech is now so poignant. I never met you yet feel tears well up now so can not even begin to imagine how Alex and Geddy are feeling.
It's not a rendition - it IS Bastille Day from the album. It's just the ending. And yes - it was a nice surprise to use it and it fit the moment perfectly.
The way these three boys own every single bit of my heart and soul…forever so insanely proud of them, and of every single thing they’ve ever accomplished. Neil, you are loved and missed far beyond the scope of measure, and I wish more than anything there were some way to bring you back to us…rest easy, legend. Thank you for blessing us with the incredible gift of all you are for forty years.
Thinking that the band persevered for so many years because they had a safety valve in the form of court jester Alex. Will miss seeing the three of them together. Thank goodness for DVDs and the Internet the world will always know there was RUSH.
Yeah well... When you have Tom Cochrane screaming "YEAH" after your band's name, you may have done something right. RUSH? Yeah, they're all right. THEY FUCKING RULE, BABYYYYY!!
Ray Danniels has moist eyes. Probably thinking about his long history with the guys: the early struggles, the attacks from critics, the very long and winding road, all coming to this. All worth it, and a life well spent.
Neil Peart, you will NEVER be forgotten. We love you.
This happened 26 years ago...
And I have never seen it ‘til tonight.
Love this amazing band called Rush
RIP Professor 😢
Alex is so awesome. I thought "blah, blah, blah" was great until I saw this. **pulling out his grocery list** Absolutely brilliant! haha
I think I still prefer the “Blahblah,” but this did get me laughing!
Every time I see Alex step up to a mike, all I hear is "Blah blah blah blah"!
This just goes to show that he’s always given bizarre speeches
Alex really does bring his all for the award speeches 😂

Thanks the drivers and every person that helps them....awesome as they are
Love this rendition of Bastille Day for when their name is announced.

Neil sure looked badass here that night...

"Will they think of us with sadness, for the "things" that we let grow ?
It's great they used a song from Caress of Steel. That album is the epitome of "under-rated."
kinda sounds like graduation music lol
It's perfect IMO, and has a very "majestic" feel. (Just ask Mike Portnoy!)
For Alex, life is a petty annoyance that happens between guitar solos.
I swear if he started BLAH BLAH....BLAH BLAH BLAH...I am driving to Canada and give him a piece of my mind😂😂😂
That beard. Reminds me of Evil Spock from the Star Trek episode Mirror Mirror.

That guy mispronounced Neil's last name! And also another fantastic Lifeson speech
Tom Cochrane-a great musician himself
Lmao Alex's speech killed me
Who’s the idiot who didn’t like this? Love Rush!
lovely speeches. typical they mention the drivers crews, pr people and fans. class act
alex always goofs around
Neil looked great, Alex had a bad hair day and Geddy is just Geddy...best band on the planet
i thought his hair looked good.
Bastille Day!!
Alex being Alex 😂
Yeah well...

THEY FUCKING RULE, BABYYYYY!!
Rock on Canada!
#RUSH4EVER ❤

and about how much he almost ruined rush by kicking geddy out of the band in the early years
@@AugfordpdoggieHe did do us rockers a favor by eradicating Samuel Horatio Hagar from Van Halen.
@@Augfordpdoggie He's never going to live that down, is he?
_3 dozen eggs_
I lm so happy that they played Bastille Day for them.
❤❤❤
Sam the Record Man @ 3:18
Pert.....
PEAR-t. Not PERT.
Can't stand when someone presenting something to him says his name incorrectly. At least know his name...
Cochrane should know better! No excuses!
Ed Robertson sighting at 3:39?
But no Axel Rose sighting....
Peart without PEER
an attractive woman at 3:06, i wonder who she is
Great question. Quite attractive! Not one of their wives; I know them on sight. Must be someone in the Canadian music industry...
bla blubla blubla blubla blubla bubla bubla ! blablabla ! blah ! blablah !
