Another "new" Alex Lifeson track, this one a jam he recorded back in 2012 during the Clockwork Angels mixing sessions. Been out there for a few days but just now got around to checking it out.

Trippy,  I saw this on youtube and Alex said he recorded that earlier in the day after a "wake and bake"  in 2012.   :lol

Cool tune.  I like this one better than the two newer ones we got earlier this year, though they're pretty cool, too.

This one's for @Orbert (in particular):

The guitar solo section of YYZ done as a bari sax duet.

most of this I have read, although it was a long time ago.

But it's an interesting detail into the late John Rutsey's life and the early days of the band

Two things irritated me about that video right out of the box.  "Rutsey would be born...."  "Their first gig would happen...."  Just friggin' say "was born" and "happened."  Second, the guy couldn't even get his source right.  I realize that "Banasiewicz" isn't a common name, but the guy who did the video couldn't even be bothered to spell it right in the subtitle at the 1:10 mark (spelling it "Basiniewicz") and even mispronouncing it ("buh-SIN-uh-witz").  For whatever reason, I always remember that, in his book, Banasiewicz wrote that his name rhymes with Manischewitz (the manufacturer of kosher wine and other kosher products).

As you said, this is largely a compilation of stuff that's been out there for years.

I remember that...from a freakin' decade ago!

That's one of those songs that really needs the music going to make the vocals sound right.  The performance itself wasn't bad, but the song choice was very poor.

Yeah, the singing was fine. If you put Geddy there with no accompaniment and no effects on his mic, he'd sound about the same. The whole thing seems more like a set up gag than anything. Find a nerdy looking guy to sing a "nerdy" song and make fun of him.

Bingo.

I only watched AI for a couple seasons, but the audition episodes were the WORST.  My understanding was that they would get thousands of people at each audition location, and only a small percentage would actually get in the room with the judges.  Most folks were screened out.  For every five people you'd see on TV, two would be decent but not quite good enough, one would get an invite, one would be generically bad, and one would be so bad it was obviously the only reason the screeners sent him/her into the room was for comedic purposes.  I often wondered if the auditioner knew that or if they gave the judges a heads up.  My understanding was that they stopped doing the stupidly bad auditions several seasons ago.

Unrelated to Rush, but that kind of thing bugs me too. The worst is when people are giving instructions and they say "you're going to want to ...."    Am I?  Am I going to, or do I want to NOW?  What if I don't EVER want to?  SHould I still do it? Is it necessary for the recipe?  DON'T TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO DO!  :) :) :) :) :) :)

People make certain phrases more complicated than they need to be, to the point where they don't make literal sense, and seem to think that it makes them sound smarter.

The doorbell rings.  Mrs. Orbert says "That would be FedEx."

Me: "It would be?  Under what conditions?  Is there any way to know who it actually is?"

Had no idea that Modern Drummer put out an omnibus of all of Neil's cover stories. Found it on Amazon in the Book section and ordered that puppy immediately. Nice, oversized and a bit stronger magazine type thing. Haven't dug into it yet, but happy either way.

Cool, thanks for the heads up!  Was surprised he played it so faithful to the original (thought he'd make it his own).  Sounded great though!  The singers were good too.

Considering that's my fave Zeppelin song, I'll be coming back to this rather frequently.  Alex was not much more than a background contributor though.  Big cast on stage for that song

Huh; had you asked me to guess what song it was, neither of those would have been in the top 20.    Not knowing who the band is/was, my first guess would have been Black Dog, followed by Rock And Roll, Whole Lotta Love, Communication Breakdown and maybe Bring It On Home.
