Led Zeppelin Cover w. Alex Lifeson (RUSH) - Andy Kim Christmas (Dec 8, 2021) 

Same here brother, I saw Rush for the first time 10Mar78 in Boston,MA. This brought chills down my spine and made my eyes well up with joy and euphoria!! Long live Alex & Geddy & R.I.P. Neil🙏❤️

4:45 The Master plays :P

May I ask, Neil who?

@@donreed - Just in case you’re not joking, Neil Peart.

Loved the way he nailed the studio version... no tricks or gymnastics. He honored it and himself.

I'm listening and wondering when Alex is going to break in and then ... god damn he's such a master!

Alex is a Guitar God

Yep, and likely the only one up there with his nickname emblazoned on his amp.

Agreed

Me too but its also one of the things I always felt held him back. He's one of the all time greats. I wish he would "own" that.

I would say La Villa Strangiato

😂😂😂😂

Exatamente ​@@lipsterman1

as RUSH fan and ultimately a Zeppelin fan, i agree completely. great playing!!

Rush used to be a Led Zeppelin tribute band

@@Unity360Media I actually noticed this performance a month ago! Thanks. Just a great song, I really enjoy hearing Alex play some guitar licks at the start, when I saw him just shred the original solo from, stairway I loved it!

@@redeyeify Um, no.

I bet he's played it a lot from the early days on. Just not publicly. Great job

I like how he didn’t even step forward to take the solo; somehow, I’d be willing to bet there’s a bunch of people there who don’t even know who he is…

I didn’t know it was at Massey Hall when I made that comment…

@@MAXIMUSMINIMALIST as I mentioned, I did not realize they were at Massey Hall when I made the comment…

No doubt!!

that’s not just any EDS-1275, if you look at the truss rod covers (as well as noting the tiny switch in between neck pickups) you’ll know that is Lifeson’s EDS affectionately known as “Heavy Bastard”.

Take it down a notch, fanboy

@@Frankincensedjb123 I ain't wrong, S**theel!

@@Frankincensedjb123 no shit...that whole thing pretty much was average at best

@@retrorockit Yea, not really! Maybe for a 20 year old who bought a Guitar Player mag, but this is the great Alex Lifeson with a tribute solo for the ages!

@@Frankincensedjb123 use a toilet next time , trotster

Those 'Lerxst' amps and Lerxst 4 X 12 cabinets together cost around $4,000............ridiculous!

I can play it!

Exactly

I’ve seen the rock greats play…Neal Schon, EVH, ect. and can say Alex Lifeson is the best.

Alex has been an under rated guitarist, 1981 Rush Moving Pictures tour, I was there .

agreed!

I love every single Zeppelin song. Too bad they sucked at recreating those songs live. Rush, sounded even better live than the a!bums IMO.

@@siddokis2945 guess you never watched TSRTS?? or royal albert hall concert? in 1970? hmmmm. 1979 knebworth? they played those songs differant every night. its called improvisation?

@@myfordranger Albert hall was tight, the rest were sloppy and somewhat disappointing on first watch for a lifelong fan. Improvisation is great but heroin interfered with Jimmy's physical abilities.

@@siddokis2945 they chose not to duplicate them live. A full 1/3 of a zeppelin show was improvised on the spot every show. A song could be super heavy one night and jazz like the next. They were so amazingly good they could take any song anywhere the felt like going. It’s called prodigy level abilities combined with the most fearless attitude in rock history. Any one can duplicate exactly what they did on an album. Led Zeppelin is simply the greatest live band to ever exist. No one took chances live that they did. They played on the edge of failure and never did. Some call it sloppy others see a band pushing themselves beyond physical capabilities A band that regularly played 4 hr shows. A band that left everything they had on stage every night. They played every show like it was there last. I suggest listening to How the West was won and realize it’s mostly made up never to be duplicated again. If you can physically withstand listening to an entire Zeppelin concert you should find new understanding. The greatest band to ever exist. No and, if or buts about it

@@siddokis2945 you know nothing about zeppelin. Jimmy didn’t get heavy into heroin until after physical graffiti. They did 11 US tours only 1 of them during the Presence tour was it an issue. Plants son died cutting the tour short. They never toured the states again.

Same exact thing for me, fellow bass player!

Who is Lerxt? Which band member?

Yes! All on fire , drummer (maybe bass too) could have more world class to really bring it home, but a fine pro job non the less.

Yes they are!!

Lead singer and the guitarist next to Alex are the band Crown Lands, check them out if you haven’t! Especially “Context:Fearless Pt.1”

Thanks for pointing me here.

Me as well👍

Hahaha it was an honour

Congrats Kevin on your promotion from 'Kickass Guitarist' to Demigod. 😁 (Doubt Alex would let just anybody hold Heavy Bastard, let alone play it. Lol) Cody, awesome as always. 🎶

So very sorry for your loss…congrats on the blessing of having met Alex! 🙏🏻♥️
