Gary "Geddy" Lee. Weinrib on lead vocals and bass. His Mother's heavy accent when she called him sounded like "Geddy", so his friends gave him the nickname. Weinrib, Rush's frontman, adopting the stage name Geddy Lee. He has one of the most unique and recognizable voices in rock history.

This song means a lot to the band. So, it also means a lot to their fans. Thanks for reacting to it.

This is the last song on their last album. 2013 album & concert. 2 years before their retirement. RIP Neil!

"I have seen several great classic rock groups going to concerts with you for over thirty years, they were all great, but I must say I was most impressed with the level of talent from Rush" - Mike Tandle... My Son said that last year. He has seen some of the best.

Geddy Lee had some voice issues affecting high notes, particularly at certain octaves. Guitarist, Alex Lifeson, tends to get overshadowed, so I'm glad you mentioned that. I like his sense of humor; he made fun of himself a few times on the Canadian TV series, Trailer Park Boys.

This was the last song on their last album Clockwork Angels. It was their first full concept album and the only album to feature strings. The gentleman with the black guitar is Alex Lifeson and he also wrote that beautiful piano piece. Alex Lifeson started the band in 1968 when he was 16. He and Geddy Lee have been best friends since they were 13 when they met in junior high school and they are still best friends today at 71. It is a beautiful and introspective song. Two songs I will recommend are Secret Touch from the Snakes and Arrows tour Entre Nous also from the Snakes and Arrows tour Cheers

This ia the last song on what turned out to be Rush's final album. It is a concept album, so this song is the protagonist reflecting on his life. Since Neil's death in 2020, many fans now see the lyrics in reference to his life and legacy, as well. This is a beautiful live performance (and I don't recall seeing Alex on a keyboard before, but he does a beautiful job). For something completely different from the same album, I recommend reacting to the live version of 'Caravan' from the Time Machine tour.

That was the last song on their last album. I couldn't imagine a more fitting Swan Song for such a long and wonderful career.

I saw this tour at SPAC. I recorded the show (at page) and it was a true spectacle to witness. GREAT Choice. Neil did an incredible Drum Solo I got and cherish.

Neil Peart - "The Professor" Many say he is the "Greatest Drummer Of All Time".. I won't argue that. He wrote most all the lyrics for Rush.

What I always say about Alex to the uninitiated is just ask yourself this: What kind of extraordinary talent must you possess to hang with Geddy and Neil? THAT’S IMPRESSIVE on its own, but Alex contributes an equal third in all his parts he plays within Rush, just saying he’s WAY MORE than just the guitarist.🤘🖖✌️🥁🎸🎤🎹🎼🎻

"The future disappears into memory". That's my favorite line. How quickly time goes. I remember when Prince's song "1999" came out in the 80s. We were like "I'll be 33 when it turns 2000" or whatever. Then you blink & it's the year 2000. Then you blink again & it's 2025.

One of my all time favorite bands. I still remember listening to fly by night. I believe that album had the original drummer, John Rusty.

John Rutsy was on their first album. Fly by Night was their s album and it was the first album with Neil Peart.
