[@joeholmberg250]

Neil looks like Tom Hanks playing the conductor in the Polar Express

Joseph Holmberg That’s what I thought this was Lol

[@garygennaro6029]

Yea he does. That's so funny 😂

[@EMBOBZ2112]

Saw them front row in Sheffield, i felt sick with excitement when this was playing .. screaming my heart out when i saw Geddy walk on stage i almost had a heart attack! Greatest night of my life ever!!!

[@mrdarklight]

Alex Lifeson is actually a really good actor!

[@wiskyvet]

Alex is hilarious and a great guy. I always saw him bringing kids up to sit with him on stage in later years.

[@hihi2667]

@@wiskyvet plus he is an extra in a few movies, so he technically is an actor.

[@ronmyers2317]

Alex it's hilarious. He plays a great fat guy. This whole thing is hilarious

[@MayGuh]

the dvd was filmed in cleveland OH. and that was my first concert ever. thanks dad!

[@joshhendrickson1441]

Miss Neil. Love that clip, so glad I was able to experience it in my life. Condolences to family, friends and fans around the globe

[@winstonsmith9067]

Saw them on Snakes and Arrows in Albuquerque. Glad I did. Awesome show. Miss you Niel Peart. RIP.

[@dalegribble60]

My favorite band has always been RASH and the greatest drummer O'Mally....

[@sblack48]

“Nobody beats our sausage”

[@steviea427]

Neil getting down with the disco version is PRICELESS!!! It is so cool that Rush has such a GREAT sense of humor. How can you not love these guys? One more thing...are Neil and Tom Hanks long lost twin brothers?

[@danerd8978]

Well he was into the Police and the Talking Heads.

[@therealrcg6838]

RIP Neal Peart

[@bilbobaggins4710]

Let's all kill ourselves

[@js4187]

@@bilbobaggins4710 You first .

[@visionmaster153]

Yes, I will never forget the Vancouver show. First and only time I have seen them in our fine home country. LOVE LIVE CANADA LOVE LIVE RUSH !!

[@SuperFlashDriver]

RUSH is my favorite to this day. They made alot of 80's and 90's songs and they're still at their best at rockin'.

[@MaureenMikalsen-mx8cn]

I love how Rush doesn't take themselves to seriously they love to joke around. Great personality very wholesome humble guys 💜🧡👍

[@toothpaste4028]

2:01 Love that little nudge at Neil's past.

[@santonucci]

Nothing Rush ever did didn't suck so bad

[@mrdarklight]

Oh my God.... That was so awesome... that they don't take themselves so seriously after all these years... best KZbin video ever. You even got Neil to act!! AMAZING!

[@Kart31Racer]

I just finished Geddys Effin Life book and had to come looking for this. Damn I miss the band.. Thank you for the lifetime of memories from a gen X'r..

[@terminallyinquisitive1731]

Love this - Alex Lifeson is a scream!

[@berriesandcheese]

Oh man, it was so exciting when they came out, so incredible to be there.

[@liamer88]

I was at the "time machine tour" when they were in Toronto, and they played this after every break. I was half deaf by the time the concert was done and IT WAS AWESOME!!! You can't duplicate this stuff with any other band. EVER.

[@brein93]

I Laughed my ass off when I saw this intro movie last friday, at their concert!

[@rushaholic1]

To me you're a genius; To O'Malley you're a genius but to a genius, you're no genius. lol

[@Jpriest13]

Sausage, Kugel, and gefilte(r).....feeling a bit hungry now.🤔 RIP Professor. Peace to everyone else.

[@jodohead]

Saw them last night in Hamilton, Ontario. Best Rush show I have ever seen. Real time. Half time. Bass time. SAUSAGE TIME!!!!

[@OfficialFunStudios]

Freakin best intro ever

[@erkoape]

Rush rules. Best band in rock history. Saw this show twice. Best concerts I've ever seem.

[@thisismagacountry1318]

Clearly RASH is ahead of their time.

[@OZRIC1985]

I love their sense of humor. That cracks me up that he word "Gefilter" is on the time machine. Gefilter...as in Gelfilte fish. LOL! :-p

[@andrewcorbett5729]

Love these guys

[@FosterZygote]

"It doesn't suck so bad this time, Papa."

[@ta2meqrious]

Played in Vancouver, BC Canada on Thursday June 30th - wow!! Vignettes are sooooo funny!! Neil's solo killed!! "Closer to the Heart" made water leak out my eyes, eh! Almost 40 years and they still don't suck so bad! Rash rulez!!

[@JanikLitalien]

If only they could release those remixes, I'd get the Spirit of Radio disco in a heartbeat

[@stropsstrops]

One of the best performances of the last years. RUSH, it's not a surprise!

[@wiskyvet]

Alex is very funny and a super nice guy! Always brought kids to sit up next to him onstage in these later years. I appreciate that. RIP Neil.

[@Strenzkee]

I love this intro!! "garbage is my friend from old country" lmao

[@tonyp.7105]

They should make more of this stuff. LMAO. Great when I first saw it. Ten years already. Wow.

[@sblack48]

Ok so I can’t stop thinking about the fact that they had to go record spirit of radio with accordion and tuba for this. Not only that but several different versions! Did they call Weird Al? That must have been surreal for whoever did it. But they pulled it off. How could you do that without cracking up?

[@OneTrueVikingbard]

this was hilarious, a classic way to start a great concert. saw them this summer in CA

[@lifeson2006]

Oh my... My favorite band suddenly became The Monkees.... How good actors they are... and funny too

[@zxzxJoKeRThEiFzxzx]

Saw this when they came to ottawa for bluesfest KILLER SHOW they came close to there hometown!

[@deanwolfechannel]

Perfect! So hilarious, the guys were all fine actors!

[@carcin220]

"Sounds like the damned howling in HADES!"

[@xsellsbrod]

they are also GREAT actors &-))

[@anthonyturner1808]

Ha I was at this concert very good night with Rush!!!!!

[@mrsrodriguez34]

i just saw this in Greenville SC. AMAZING light show too! they did awesome! i think im gonna go out and get a Rash shirt lol

[@SuperTekZone]

@mrthundaboots Actually, Neil's playing the part of an Irish cop. Listen carefully when he says, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph" - he's saying those words with an Irish accent, not a Scots accent.

[@journey2112]

I saw them and Don kirshner's Rock concert when they open up with temples of syrinx into soliloquy and so on and for some reason I cannot find it anywhere

[@markdovers5150]

Who doesn’t love love a polka version of spirit of radio?

[@jameswestaway6187]

this had me in tears...damn funny

[@blica1]

Holy crap 1..these guys are just sick..is there anything they can't do ?..comedy ?..wow..these guys are just the best !

[@journey2112]

I was 14 when that album came out

[@sonus289]

I miss Neil!!! So sad?I never got to see rush live.......

[@steviea427]

@superunt43 That is definitely true. The world never truly appreciated the skill and talent of one of the GREATEST bands to ever hit a stage. I put them on a par with the Who, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Stones, etc: The real heavy hitters of rock history. They have forced themselves into the mainstream through sheer talent. The fact that they are funny and make fun of themselves just makes them even cooler. The world thinks of them as hockey jocks, but you and I know better. Rock On superunt43

[@Mujcanal]

steviea427 I’m not sure if I should be happy or to regret, but being 41 im only discovering them now, and Its like first love, they are just incredible !! Where I was ?

[@144wychwood]

That is TOO freaking, funny! Who said Rush takes themselves too serious? NOT!!!!

[@journey2112]

Absolute pure genius

[@PatMan1966]

OMG! Alex is freakin' hysterical... he should definitely be should be in movies...

[@RogueSahara]

Alex is just rocking the fat suit. He's having so much fun!

[@branmcg9844]

FANTASTIC

[@hatfm]

And this is why I love Rush.

[@Bamazeb]

Eeet doesnt suck so bad dees time! I saw them last week in So. Fla. AWESOME!!!!

[@Tedddd_ie]

..And the magic music makes your morning mooooowd hahaha and it's great to see Neil partying on the disco version hahaha

[@positivevibez8752]

Great concert. Limelight

[@RaptorV1USA]

Jeeses who knew my favorite band could act. ?

[@NileKelly]

Rush Polka rules. These guys parodying their own stuff...HILARIOUS!!! "The Spirit Of Radio? Sounds more like The Spirit Of Bankruptsy!" LMAOOO...

[@jamesdurnford1221]

Great memories

[@Pighood]

He's a natural comic.

[@theytooktheothername]

so awesome cuz right when he hit the button they came out playing spirit of radio

[@steviea427]

@superunt43 The Stones definitely pale in comparison, but they are very influential, which is why I listed them. The Beatles and the Who are very influential also, and were creative in evolving over the years like Rush has done. That is why I listed them. Rush and Pink Floyd have much in common: they both put out complete theme albums which explore the human condition, they both have very heavy lyrics, and they both are awesome in musical creativity. I like other groups, but I LOVE Rush.

[@journey2112]

They're all good actors

[@336kgf]

This is hysterically funny. What an intro.

[@mrthundaboots]

What makes it funny is they all make fun of their individual heritage: Geddy,the Jewish sausage man,Alex,the fat Yugoslavian and Neil the Scottish cop! Too funny!

[@74jailbreaker]

He is, he starred in a couple of episodes of Trailer Park Boys and a couple of other movies.

[@72ackerman]

Absolutely hilarious... I missed the whole Time Machine tour but I am glad to see that the "holy triumvirate" are still willing to ham it up. Also loved the "Clockwork Angels" troll scenes. Hmmm.... maybe they can retire as the New Three Stooges after all? (Die hard Rush fan)

[@mwheeler1994]

Sick stache on the drummer.

[@MattFoleysGhost]

I'd listen to any of those re-done versions, they all sounded good! XD Have these sketches ever been released?

[@THALIDO]

3 people have had a sense of humour by pass.

[@mrthundaboots]

@superunt43 Alex and Geddy started the band in '68.Neil joined in '74....

[@Octovaitor]

So wait. The cop is Peart, Gershon is Geddy, and _ is Alex, and in the second film the director is geddy and the owner is Alex, but where is Peart in the second movie?

[@brianbranham1977]

this was the intro film for the time machine tour.

[@Jonno2summit]

Dare I say that this is on par with Monty Python? And this is members of a major rock band having fun in this way. This is epic fun. And they're pretty good musicians too!

[@johnreid4056]

So sad of neils passing

[@PragmaticPress]

Geddy with a mustache and soul patch looks like FZ \

[@21Rushisaband12]

the great part is: the polka version, disco version and bluegrass/country version are all good and catchy!!!!!

[@CWinther95]

Omg i am crying of laughter

[@brendanmoore253]

Lmfao!! Neil starts praying hahahahaha

[@TheMoonchild1969]

When Alex will finally devour that overcooked piece of meat from whatever invertebrate alien, it came from.😂

[@superunt43]

@steviea427 You may indeed be correct? Talent does have the tendency to gravitate? May I humbly ask why the guys not own the hall, let alone reside there? Well, they are Canadian, world views them as only hockey jocks? Go figure?

[@steviea427]

@superunt43 I will but I have to take care of some things first. I will get back to this thread as soon as I can.

[@AudiophileTubes]

COME TO GREECE PLEASE!!!

[@killeroforce]

He looks like Tom Hanks in the Polar Express when he's dressed like a Police Officer. It's crazy!!!

[@MikeHanson]

Oh my shit this was awesome!

[@clawmachinez26]

I have the Rash tshirt that Getty Lee has and at my high school, only one or two people knew that it was related to Rush, people this generation, make me sick... smh -_-'

[@rosc2112]

@rocka985 I heard rumor it could be his daughter Kyla, but, nothing confirmed yet. I'm waiting for the dvd due out in Sept (hold yer breath, may be we'll get it before new year 2012!) which would likely have the cast credits.

[@joeblechl7736]

that was great

[@TheMightyOdin]

Neil looks so much like Tom Hanks it’s kind of freaky.

[@microsoftsamreloaded3558]

:(

[@JeremyGalloway]

Except he doesn't at all...

[@hobbygamer6220]

test tubes in a time machine ( actually say that 5 times fast )

[@ronaldboreland4479]

Don't Slobovic on my Sausage!🌭😂😂😂

[@rocosuavez]

these guys are actors too ...shit i didnt know that and they are pretty good too...

[@StevePartonMusic]

This is indeed the best version of the intro video - but it's too bad you didn't leave in even a few seconds of the ACTUAL "Spirit of Radio" just to show the transition... Thanks for posting, though.

[@superunt43]

@mrdarklight 1974, I got my driver's license, aware of my Canadian friends even then?
