  • Video by Stephen Yates. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson were goofing off (more than usual) during "What You're Doing"- Ged encouraged Alex to sing with him and that turned into him bellowing incoherently. We all were dying of laughter!

    The thing that's unique about Rush is that we love them as people as much as we love them as musicians.

    Always thought it was a sign of respect that Neil kept John's drum parts intact, didn't try to write him out of the band's story by rearranging these songs.

      Me too. I was front center and had tears of joy and sorrow throughout-the boys knew we knew it was ending-and knew we loved them and understood. My older brothers turned me on when I was 6 and growing up in Cleveland. My number one band since. I could only get crap seats in Denver weeks before and my man knew he couldn't let that be my last RUSH show. BEST. GIFT. EVER.

On stage don't belittle the craft that so many of us wish we could have done. You notice the 3 or 4 times they have played since Neil died they have took it serious. They KNOW they took it too far on the BS.
