Extra's Adam Weissler talks to Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of legendary rock band Rush, backstage at the Hollywood Bowl. Includes concert footage of 'Limelight".
The friendship between Geddy and Alex is one of the coolest things about Rush. Very few bands stay together as long as they have, and to still be best friends with someone you met in Grade 6 (as they say in Canada) is amazing. Love how they still call Neil "The New Guy" even though he joined the band in 1974! Great guys and great musicians.
It's a consolation to me to know that Geddy and Alex will, undoubtedly, be looking out for eachother and supporting one another now that Neil is no longer with us. They have such a close bond, like soul brothers. There will be sorrow but I imagine that there will also be laughter. Love to them, and all of their families and the Rush community around the world. 🙏❤️😔
Great interview. I like the moment when the guys let down their guard and started acting goofy with each other. They were a lot more reserved at the start.
These guys were a cornerstone of my life and how lucky was I? January 1986 Power Windows Houston The Summit 9th row I was 17 it was the greatest show I’ve ever seen that and Peter Gabriel SO tour.....how I miss them but it’s the natural order of things like just turning 50....it beats the alternative
the Snakes and Arrows tour stands out to me with performance and live treatment of the material..really seems like they had a pronounced deliberate to all their various eras; the mix is epic, specific tiny nuances hit their marks, and they exhibit natural chemistry that seems the least forced of later tours..👍
They've got to be talking about Snakes and Arrows. I remember hearing "Far Cry" for the first time as a pre-release single on the radio air waves in the spring with my headphones on while listening to a portable radio and working outdoors.
ha I saw them perform that night... I remember they looked a little tan too. Must have been enjoying the California sun. Seems like yesterday, I can't believe it was 15 years ago
Must be talking about Red Rocks at the front, as I recall the visitor center has photos of performances there even before anyone thought to build a stage, turn of the century. It's a great place to visit even if there's no show that night, and it has hiking trails, in addition to people using the bleachers to run up and down for exercise.
I wish I knew which album they are talking about. This seems fairly recent, but not that recent. *EDIT:* They mention Far Cry. Must be Snakes & Arrows (2007).
Two south park cows, did you know what Vampires are, you can sit with them for a little while, their pretty, but it is now way past 2112how Kidding am I kidding I'm yelling for Lilly, you two know what Neil is like why am I not protecting in Static News it a rocking song Tricks Of The Trades says it all,, why?
