I just got served up this Dan Rather interview of Geddy Lee from 2017.
A must listen.

I highly recommend Peart's book. Written after his wife and daughter died less than a year apart IRC:

I highly recommend Roadshow: Landscape with Drums: A Concert Tour by Motorcycle

Take Off to the Great White North?
Bob & Doug McKenzie

EDIT: Massive Fail, I see that has already been referenced.


That was only Geddy with Bob and Doug (I believe - not sure that Alex and Neil were there).

I'm referencing a song the whole band guested on.

That part stumped me, had to look it up when I couldn't come up with it. Cromartie was easy given Geddy's fandom and what Warren was to the Jays.

Finished off that Rather interview, very good info on Geddy and the band, his family.

That Rather interview was good.

I love this version of my favorite Rush song. It became my favorite when my dad miraculously (literally) survived a v-fib in 2014. I had 7 bonus years with him until he died a month ago. The lyrics helped me to make the most of my time with him and my mom, who died in January. This song will always stand out for me.

The good thing about the Rather interviews is he gets some good artist, some that would never open up to most other media. He's respected. The bad thing is, he was in his 80s for all of the interviews, and sometimes the questions aren't the greatest...and obviously he didn't spend alot of time rocking out to Moving Pictures.

I don't expect him to ask the same questions as say , Eddie Trunk ("What were some of your favorite opening bands you guys had once you became headliners?), but I'm glad these interviews are out there. I'll have to say, I like the "How do you want to be remembered?" question he does.

Yeah, Rather isn't in his prime but overall it was a treat for Rush fans.

Anyone listen to the necromancer recent? Almost everything on Caress of Steel used to be a auto skip for me but man this song has been getting a lot of listens from me recently

Alex's guitar work is out of this world on that track

Tis' one of my very favs. Of course the early concept albums (Fly By Night through Farewell to Kings) have always been my favorite works.

It changes for me from time to time. It would be different in six months than it would be today.

Seriously, TexAgs? A photo of Michael Bolton from Office Space? Your filter is not helpful.

Was actually listening to Power Windows in my way home from work. A greatly under appreciated album in my opinion.

Has my favorite example of Geddy's bass playing. Plus this song is awesome live especially when the arena filling deep bass notes kick in at beginning of the chorus. And bask in the glory of cutting edge late '80's laser light show!



Followed on the album by one of my favorite examples of Neil's drumming. Another good song live.

Another song I always loved live.



What other band can pull off songs about topics like the Holocaust or the Manhattan Project?
Some Junkie Cosmonaut

Embarrassing: I think my initial exposure to Rush was actually Geddy singing Take Off with Bob and Doug McKenzie. Loved his voice so much that I started the long, deep dig,..


Man...his voice is the reason I just can't get into Rush. I know they're amazing musicians. I play guitar. Their musical prowess is undeniable. I get it. But I just can't take his voice.

Do they still tour? People tell me I need to see a show and I think I finally agree.
