Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson w/ Blue Rodeo - The Way I Feel - LIVE

Massey Hall, May 23, 2024

[@RDTicho]

Geddy and Alex on a stage and playing music together makes me very happy! Thank you for posting!!

[@youropionmattersnot]

Agreed. It appears they are breaking the glass on the last stage of grieving over Neal's passing. I so want to see them as Rush again but only if they are ready for that to happen without Neal. If I could wish that to reality it would be either Greg Bissonte or Mike Portnay. Please God not money hungry Dave Grohl.

[@neleig]

Ditto

[@lancelange9377]

I love how Geddy looks at Alex with such joy near the end. Just watching him play and smiling.

[@row8017]

Shear admiration for a true friend

[@rich7049]

Yes, that was super special. You could feel the love. So cool.

It shouldn't go unnoticed that Geddy's voice sounds fucking amazing. It's entirely their call, but I feel like Ged and Alex have another record left in them. Not a Rush record, but a record.

[@robertallen6710]

Don't know what the F word has to do with his voice, but if another record comes from them I will be there...

[@stephenneville7841]

I agree, he still sounds great.

[@Scottaskadly]

Geddy and Alex playing music together at Massey is good for my soul.

[@loadedorygun]

lol Geddy putting the most bass notes ever into a folk song. Love it.

[@bcfromcb]

Haha so true Blue rodeos guitarist had to fight to get in a small solo. Wow that performance has put a smile on my face.

[@captainsnarky6949]

Proof that Geddy and Alex can do something completely different than Rush, fit into it perfectly, and still sound like themselves.

[@billstrohler]

Great point.

[@Tkrain]

Like many lifelong Rush fans, it is wonderful to get even just this small moment to enjoy their playing.

[@robertallen6710]

Not a small point...

[@philreeves2404]

I watched 5 seconds and began to cry....anyone else feel moved by this?

[@tiny5500]

Got me when G. was looking at his friend jamming with love and pride. What a friendship! RIP Niel your always with them this is well known ❤️💪✨

[@escargotomy]

In about 1978 at 10 years old, I discovered a song called "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" in a table-side jukebox at my family's favorite diner in New Jersey that played 2 songs for a quarter. Even though my mother said it was terribly depressing, it moved me in a way no song had before. I ended up playing it 3 more times before our meal was done. About 2 years later in the same diner jukebox I played a song from a group I'd never heard before called "Spirit of Radio". I was then hooked for life on music that would occupy the next several decades of my life. Of course, my mother hated that too. Thanks to Canada for filling my life with so much great music. RIP Mr. Lightfoot.

[@TorontoLiveMusicVids]

Love this

[@ViveleRush]

I’m so glad to see Geddy and Alex performing at this Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Concert!!!😍❤️😍💖😎🎸😎🎶🎶

[@daveswanson7326]

this is so great! This should be their way forward to make music together! Let Rush rest in peace, move on. This style is a perfect fit.

[@snippyj8820]

Blue Rodeo with Alex and Geddy. Only one man could bring that together on stage. GL

[@robertallen6710]

Doing it the only way he knows how...with complete humility and competence

[@krom9897]

Fantastic! Geddy sounds great here. For years Geddy sang so many high notes, but it eventually was a big strain and didn’t sound as natural. This is perfect for Geddy! Soulful vocals that give me chills. More of this please! Of course Geddy has had an incredible long career so even if he doesn’t make another record again, I will always love the man and appreciate all the great music he’s made and performed for our pleasure.

[@ffpr1]

One of my favorite early Lightfoot songs! Thanks Blue Rodeo and Rush for doing this obscure number.

[@darrellpearson2236]

Can't get any better than this!! Doing Canada PROUD!!! Nothing but love and respect shining through!! What a tribute....Well done everyone!!

[@sassaraowalter5241]

Beautiful > How are verry good to see Alex and Geddy plaiyng together again

[@stewiedarkinvisibleid]

You said it. Geddy and Alex keep stating they don't want to tour or do a reunion tour with another drummer, and we get that. But what I don't get is why they just don't do what The Beatles did later with their band; just make records without touring. Simple solution.

[@moonwoman]

@@stewiedarkinvisibleid they are finally enjoying life on their terms without as many rigorous obligations, as it should be.

[@youropionmattersnot]

​@@stewiedarkinvisibleidAs a lifelong Rush fan and musician....playing live is the ultimate satisfaction. I am 58 and sad to say my days of playing live shows again is over simply because I don't have time to find the right band to make it happen.

[@triciasawyer9750]

Thank you for posting. My husband and I had made it a tradition for years to go to Massey Hall to see Gordon perform every time he was there. It’s like missing an old friend. This is a good Canadian way to honour a legend.

[@jamesbennett5189]

Am fortunate enough to have seen Rush as well as Gordon Lightfoot. Absolute beauties!

[@Lewis-xj4qp]

It has that Zeppelin feel When the levee breaks Very trippy sound. I love psychedelic music!

[@jamesbennett5189]

Geddy still sounds good!

[@EchoesDaBear]

What a fantastic collaboration & tribute to Gord (RIP)!! Two of my favourite Canadian groups - Rush (minus one, alas - RIP Neil) AND Blue Rodeo!! This made my Friday!! Thanks...

[@notreallysure9]

I would love to rewind this video to the introduction of ALEX and GEDDY

[@MrWorldasmaya]

That outro by Alex was fantastic and mirrored Some of Gordon Lightfoots playing in such a tasteful manner.

[@bcfromcb]

I don't think I could love this any more but it also makes me miss Neil even more. Perfect GL song for Geddy to sing. Wow

[@Fred-vy1hm]

Glad to see Geddy and Alex still active and playing with another of my favorite bands. 😊🇨🇦

[@lauriewebb4726]

Sure hope we get to see this tribute on TV RIP Gordon you were the best!

[@ronniegordy6087]

Great rendition of the song. Great to hear Geddy and Alex performing with the band Blue Rodeo. Everyone sounded great.❤️

[@stephenneville7841]

Funny back on a counterparts concert ged joked about playing a country tune, 30 years later here they are. Wow Time flies and also does crazy shit

[@KNish2112]

Amazing tribute to the Great Gordon Lightfoot!

[@patrickm.635]

It is so good to Geddy playing again in public! I could do with another solo album from him. "My Favourite Headache Remedy" ;)

[@keithheaneypercussive]

This sounds really good. Gave me chills by the end when Alex was playing by himself.This song really suits their style.

[@user-gj6qb6bz9r]

Absolutely love the acoustics guys! Excellent !

[@jimmypalavi]

Can't help but feel Geddy looking up and smiling towards the end of the song is him looking up to Neil.

[@cubangal1]

thank you all the greats on one stage!!!!so lucky to grow up and with the best music!!Canada Rocks!!!!!

[@tacomadc]

Amazing. Like a lost Rush song. If there's a good board mix it should be released as a radio single. I think it would be a huge hit at very least in Canada. Thank you for posting.

[@scott193]

Never in my 💜 life I thought I would see Rush do a country song but absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@64bdchaney]

I have goose bumps hearing this awesome sound!

[@brianwagner5008]

This poses the question, is this the direction for Alex and Ged… this is exceptional. The whole group is fantastic. Droney and emotive… I am blown away… ala Robert Plant. Hmmm🤘🤘🤘🤘⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@rogerpearce8358]

Geddy on point, Alex, star of the show in true Lightfoot form. Well done.

[@annettereynolds7457]

God, they still sound so good together. I really miss them...

[@zigarten]

Heard Grant Stovel on CKUA talking about this this morning, glad to see it here!

[@drdylanman]

Simply no words for this performance. except "Thank You!" and BRAVO!!!

[@spuds6423]

I picked up a Blue Rodeo album in the bargain bin about 30 years ago... Took it home and loved it. Being in Pennsylvania at the time they played there. Anyway, I thought it was really good. I think I still have it.

[@1teamski]

Beautiful! What a rendition!

[@larycurlymoe]

So awesome to see the boys together again. Loved Alex's interpretation of Gord's guitar solo.

[@carltimmons3198]

Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot. i know Neil was with them in spirit. Great video

[@wcreview8227]

SOOO Glad to see the Guys Making Music!! Neil is Smiling!! as am I

[@hippydippy]

Holy Crap! I forgot all about that band. I bought one their albums years ago & loved it. Cool song & cooler of course to see Alex & Geddy having so much fun. Sweet!

[@H0NJ]

This brings me great joy

[@joelobuchowski4571]

Great to see Alex and Geddy playing again, and a surprise treat for those in attendance. I’m far more a RUSH fan than a Gordon Lightfoot fan, but this piece was a nice listen, notes and lyrics very smooth on the ears. Thank you to the recorder for capturing this.

[@andrewloya76]

Dirk rip en the P ❤️ Awesome to see them playing again.

[@lornestein7248]

Really cool.. Thanks for posting.

[@harlowrioux5790]

This is very close to Lightfoot's original recording, which differs quite a bit from a second, more widely known version by Gordon. The whole trippy vibe here comes from that original Lightfoot take. It's great to see Geddy and Alex, they are massive fans of Gordon Lightfoot. Unabashed about it. Lightfoot really informed Geddy's writing. Proving again Mr. Lightfoot's genius did connect with so many different musicians/songwriters and genres. Cute sidebar: Gordon used to call Geddy when Rush was still touring to ask how many shows Rush planned on doing -inevitably the much younger RUSH were outpaced by Gordon, who was in his late 70's. Also, Geddy said one of the biggest honors in his life was when Gordon called him to tell him he'd just seen the RUSH documentary and loved it.

Things I Never Thought I Would See, Number 2112

[@scottmacdonald1826]

Holy fuck!!! So what's next!?! Do a tune with the Pikes? A one off with Teenage Head? Limited engagement with Max Webster? An album with The Odds? Back-up for Sarah Slean (or Harmer or McLachlan)? All of these sound fucking awesome to me. The boys can do no wrong, and it's great to see them out doing what they do better than anyone.

[@cbr9914]

spaghetti and cuddy sound fantastic together

Our legend Gordon Lightfoot celebrated at The Church of Gord with those who follow in his footsteps... an iconic night I will treasure always.

What a wonderful sight! And they sounded GREAT!

[@lawnguy905]

[@edgarpacifico3421]

Amazing 😍🤩

[@Stoovey24]

This sounds like the next progression of Rush. It's electric, but organic, almost tribal. Absolutely enjoyed this song! I'll have to check out the original.

Beautiful. 😎

[@MyVideos-fm7ug]

Geddy Lee playing what sounds very much like country and Neil Young and Crazy Horse style rock… and playing it just as he would a RUSH song, which is really cool to see and hear. You can take Geddy Lee out of RUSH… but you will never take the RUSH out of Geddy Lee
