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.
it's the freakin' ORBIT ROOM in Toronto, he owns the place, so yeah, that clears up the controversy. i think the band is the Dexters, they nicknamed him "BIG AL' as in Big Al's Tiki bar from the R30 video.
I agree with Phantom below...he has a certain way of holding his hands with the guitar that is evident here. Not to mention not many people take a PRS like that to a blues jam...
It's him. Lerxst loves the blues and enjoys playing that style whenever he can. You could also tell it's him by the way he is holding and playing the guitar.
Oh, puleeeze! It seems like so many people project their fear of aging onto people they admire. I don't care if he's losing his hair. He'll always be my favorite guitar player.
The pub is called The Orbit Room. A restaurant/bar decorated in the style of a '50s cocktail lounge, it is located on College Street in Toronto, Ontario. It plays home to many local blues, R&B, funk, and jazz bands. ALex even appears from time to time to perform, as the video above shows.
I believe this clip is from earlier this year. I read on a Rush forum that a fan met him one night at the Obit Room and this is video that he took with his cell phone. I forget which forum though. I remember that guy had an incredible story! Lucky dude!
My question was more specifically: "what was the date of the performance of the music depicted in the flash media clip depicted herein." Even though I am quite sure 99% of the people who read this, I suppose to avoid smart ass replies, I should have framed my original question better.
Fuck me.

When Alex plays the blues, he's a really badass guitarist. He should play more blues and dump this Rush shite.

He's too thin to be Alex. He was still in the Ann Wilson phase back then, looking quite portly I must say.

Really who cares about the man's hair. Perez Hilton? He's pushing 60. He's a grandfather. Alex Lifeson, dude!! Free on YouTube.
Plus I'm sure those guys laid more pipe in the 70's than the Unions.
