This was directed by a guy named Allan King from Canada who just passed away recently. It was released in March 1973..though probbaly done a few years earlier. It's about troubled teen from toronto who go live on a farm. Alex was chosen along with these other kids and it's just what they do to pass time in this farm. Go to Allan Kings website where he has all his documentaries as well as ones you can buy on an array of stories.
i think its really cool at the start of the song his voice is really low and serous then he brings it up a notch it gos really will with the beat of the song. good video
As someone who has followed Rush plenty from their early days from small halls and even schools to stadiums it is always a laugh to read all the stuff people post who consider themselves experts on the history of this band. Despite most of the nonesence posted I expect they will keep performing anyway. Cool band!
@OHanswerME4Hamlet20 this is a documentary from aa movie called Come on Children. Yes it is Alex and he's playing in the video. Go on Amazon or the website of the producer of this who sells these documenteries. I believe it costs around 3o dollars..to own. It was prodeuced in Canada..to my knowledge it hasn't been shown in the US. One of the girls on this video has posted on this, but has no interest in elaborating more about the video.
i love how at that the very end of this video we are dropped off on the side of the nj turnpike like being john malcovich. did ou see mia farrow today talking about blood diamonds? lol. it's like putting cameron diaz in a monkey cage, and saying kenya guy took over the friggin toy world he plays with so plyly in his hands. u know who lkin bout willis

We went to Georges Vanier Collegiate on Don Mills Rd. north of Finch Ave. in North Willowdale, the outskirts of Toronto. We liked a girl named Janice B---well ....
He will remember her, and my bet friend Cliff if you know him.
it IS from the documentary filmed in 1972 - IF you go to the wikipedia web site and look him up then check under "Television and film appearances". You WILL find, " He made his film debut as himself under his birth name in the 1972 Canadian documentary film Come on Children". Also you can find more info from a few other links. The documentary may have been filmed in early 1970 maybe 1971, and released in 72 ... MAYBE ?? SORRY ... I tried to post the links, but this site won't let me.

@ValentineGermaine LOL!!! Just how do you figure this is a modern clip?? You obviously don't know much about Rush and you obviously know nothing about fashion!! LOL!!! This is an original from Alex Lifeson's archive from when he was a kid in the late '60's.
I just want to get on the Road Crew when the next tour starts! If you Rush members read this stuff, I'm the guy who sent , or tried to anyways, a letter to alex & neil about becoming one of their tech's but I'll do anything you want( Sound, Lighting, etc.)?
This has got to be earlier then 1971. I've seen a picture of Lifeson in 1973 and he looks quite a bit different/younger in this video. I would guess this is no later then 1969.
If you guys have ever studied Neil's lyrics, you know where his influences in objectivism come from. I'm no disciple of anyone, but I'm running a congressional campaign that will be based on those same philosophies. I'd be much obliged if you'd all critique my video's for my campaign.
PS I also put a few of my old guitar solo's in there for you.
Seriously guys, these guys smoked pot in the 70's and early 80's period! Watch the the permanent waves studio interview on youtube, they are way high and that is 1980 i think.
It's funny jams like these that escalate into more serious playing. Alex (in his younger days) probably had lots of fun doing this sort of thing, and probably realized the importance of free style jamming without all the rules! Good for him!
Well I know that Geddy used to smoke when he was a teenager, but that's not that big of a deal. Unlike others who are taking speed, or 10 ecstasys, and heroine.
They smoked weed/hash back in the day but were never into hard drugs. It's possible they could have tried acid/shrooms in their teens, but that is just speculation.
@skorziks I know your comment is nine months old, but I just have to correct you here. Psychedelics like shrooms and LSD are in no way hard drugs, they are in fact lighter drugs than weed. I know for a fact that Neil has done acid, it's in one of his books.
When I'm on the couch and they ask me, "Tell me about your childhood?", I refer them to this video! The dawning of the 1970's was a beautiful, magical, innocent time. That's LIfe, Son!
The thing that made me wonder is if this was pre-Rush, it would have to be in the mid to late 60's. Movie cameras WITH sound were quite expensive back then. Not something you'd expect to see kids playing around with. This film looks more like it's from the mid-late 70's.
The kid bouncing around and singing is John Rutsey, but he went under the name John "Hamilton" in this documentary. I'm thinking "Hamilton" as in the city in Ontario ?
this is beyond awful, sorry it is. I am the biggest Lifeson fan on the planet, I mean look at my videos there all Rush Guitar covers but this is LSD noise...
the guy sitting back kind of strung out is my uncle pete, he used to hang out with alex and them. this video apparently they had taken LSD. kind of apparent lol...
but he doesn't remember being in this exact video however
that's intertesting. Ask your uncle or if you know which woman in the video is Noreen McCallum. She responded to this video long ago via an email to me. Tried to get so insight from her on this video she participated in, but didn't want to talk. I have heard the sound to this long ago and it's rather jovial.
I've heard it in sound, not a big deal. Just listen to other artist who have sung it here on the tube. you'll get the jist of it. Noreen is the only one to respond to this video. To this day I have no idea who she is in the video or why she won't share her experience with us on you tube. I'd think she be happy to talk with Rush fans here. Go figure.
just shut up and take your top off, i can't believe you're saying that, these things just can't be true, why our world could use this beauty, just shut up and be ephilosopher
I asked Noreen in an email which person she was in the video, but sadly she wouldn't tell me. I sensed she was freaked we we're talking about a video she was involved with long time ago before most of us were around.heck, I was aroun 5 or so when this was just being recorded or created. Last I heard she was in the health care industry in British Columbia.
I just did some cutting and pasting to compare this guy to old rutsey promo shots, and if this guy isn't John, then he looks a hell of a lot like him. I compared the eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips and mouth, and jaw. It pretty much matches up, except that the promo shots of John seem to show him having slightly bigger cheeks, which gives him a slightly more sunken area below the cheeks. Of course it's a little hard to tell when these pics show slightly different expressions and angles.
Then you have to consider color to b&w. Another difference is that Johns hair in the promo shots was straight, while this guy seems to have more curly hair. Of course he could have either permed it or straightened it. His own mom was a beautician after all. Iused to think it wasn't him, but just a similar looking person. After an indepth comparison, I came to the conclusion that it is him most likely. Put it this way, I would bet that it was than bet against it.

I asked Noreen in an email which person she was in the video, but sadly she wouldn't tell me. I sensed she was freaked we we're talking about a video she was involved with long time ago before most of us were around.heck, I was aroun 5 or so when this was just being recorded or created. Last I heard she was in the health care industry in British Columbia.

That dude in the hat must have been John Rutsey. His Diabetes must have been exhausting him a lot. R.I.P. John!

I just did some cutting and pasting to compare this guy to old rutsey promo shots, and if this guy isn't John, then he looks a hell of a lot like him. I compared the eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips and mouth, and jaw. It pretty much matches up, except that the promo shots of John seem to show him having slightly bigger cheeks, which gives him a slightly more sunken area below the cheeks. Of course it's a little hard to tell when these pics show slightly different expressions and angles.

Then you have to consider color to b&w. Another difference is that Johns hair in the promo shots was straight, while this guy seems to have more curly hair. Of course he could have either permed it or straightened it. His own mom was a beautician after all. Iused to think it wasn't him, but just a similar looking person. After an indepth comparison, I came to the conclusion that it is him most likely. Put it this way, I would bet that it was than bet against it.

Just change that to 25 years, and San Fransisco, and that describes Metallica. I think you are getting this great Canadian trio mixed up with selloutica.
