It's great to see a band not take themselves too seriously and have a good time poking fun at themselves. "Spirit of Radio" is one of their anthems, and for them to lampoon it with a polka, disco, and country versions is funny and says a lot about the character of Geddy, Alex, & Neil.

Everything Neil does in this is pure gold.... from the "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" to the crossing himself when Alex farts, to really digging Disco... makes me laugh every single time.

Makes me sad watching this. Gonna miss these guys.

I never realized how easily Spirit of the Radio would be made into a country tune.

'now that was the brilliance of these three guys that made 'rush' for their antics at their concerts',.... rip Neal Peart

Best band ever. There guys have been friends for 40+ years, nobody can deny the chemistry between them. It’s no surprise that this musical trio sound so HUGE. That’s the magic of FRIENDSHIP 🥺

5:30 I love that Neil’s first impulse is to look for something to hit with a stick.

LOVED Neil with his arm/finger in the air getting his disco on during the "disco portion" -had me cracking up! And the country version just had me rolling my eyes and laughing!! RIP Professor, you are sorely missed by so, so many...

Gosh, I really miss these guys... RIP Maestro Peart!

"Jesus, Mary, Joseph.  SOunds like the damn Tobes of Hades." From Bytor & The Snow Dog

How can anyone with a brain and a sense of humor not love this band? Fourteen thumbs down morons I guess. Thank you Alex, Geddy and last - but certainly not in the least - Neil. May your music forever echo into eternity. Long Live RUSH!!!!!!!!

I wish I had a time machine to go and see Rush on the tours that I missed...

Proof in the pudding that this trio were both talented and hilarious. I always chuckle when I see this. Definitely some SCTV influence here.

Best band in history! Period! I'm just so happy and thankful it took place in my lifetime! Thank you Gedy, Alex & The Professor Neil (RIP).

I need a rash t-shirt....so sad about Peart...my heart is breaking & im laughing at the same time....the power of music

Parody is one of the best forms of humor, and how they did this with one of their greatest songs was masterfully done (Polka, Disco and Country versions of The Spirit Of Radio had me rolling). This is classic. These guys are gifted and serious musicians, and at the same time they are goofy and the best of friends - genuine and real - which is why Rush was around for more than four decades. Alex (the goofy one), Neil (the serious one), and Geddy ("lukewarm water" - to quote Derek Smalls from Spinal Tap). I have loves these guys since the late '70s. Their music will forever stand the test of time and influence countless generations to come. RIP Neil. You are greatly missed.

Had the pleasure of seeing this tour live in Manchester (United states of Kingdom) and these moments take their long-ass gigs to another level. Great musicians, humble and humorous...RIP Neil

Alex is having way too much fun in that fat suit :D

What a fucking band, three beautiful people!

When Alex laughs...coughs...farts...then goes back at that sausage again, now that is funny, I don't care who you are.

Geddy says "Take a break boys, you're giving me such a HEADACHE!" Must be his favorite. Ah, that Kugel!

These guys are great. Rock stars with a sense of humour are very rare. I love how Neal is thoroughly enjoying the disco version. Is is just me or does Neal have a striking resemblance with Tom Hanks?

Alex coughs...laughs....coughs..farts...coughs....Neil crosses himself...Geddy looks shocked....Alex goes in for the kill on that snausage! HILARIOUS!

5:08 "it doesn't suck so bad this time papa no...em no" died 😵

Wow that brought back since great memories. Best band ever. I always loved the vignettes between breaks.

I love it! RIP, Neil Peart...we'll miss you, Professor :(

An Epoch has been reached, an end and a beginning. The end of a life is the beginning of a legend. We have walked with greatness and have been cast down. Rest in Peace Neal, we hardly knew Ye.

RIP Neil. Missing your spirit on this earth so much. I just love Kyla Lee as Kugal. I love that she's in on the joke as much as her dad, Alex and Neil. Love the Pipi Longstocking pigtails. Too cute.

God, I love these three Nutters, Laugh Choke Fart, They must have had a blast making this, probably took a month to film 7mins, couldn't act for laughing...... Farewell to a Dear Friend that I never met....God Bless Professor : (

That was just hilarious. Those guys are just so awesome. What a great way to start off a song. The world is gonna miss their antics for sure. RIP Neil I am sure you are once again with your first wife and daughter.

Love Geddys reaction when Alex starts coughing 😂😂

I grew up loving their music in the 70s I never pictured them being down to earth jokesters like this. Makes me love them even more. I took the stern intellectuals view of them to heart at 13. At 55 I take their humor to heart!

its 2021, and this still cracks me up. my memories of rash stretch back to 1975 when I first saw them, became a life long fan, and miss them every day....

I was fortunate enough to make it just in time to see Rush at their Time Machine Tour (one of only 2 concerts I ever went to to see then). One of the highlights of my life.

They are good actors in this piece

Neil, getting on down to the Disco Version has me creased up laughing, RIP Professor

One of the best bands ever!!! To deep for the norm, to bad!!!

This is priceless! The best of The Epic Trio from The Great Country of Canada! So humble. Just doing what they liked to do together. Keep it complicated. If people enjoyed the music, so much the better. We continue to do so. Thank You RUSH. I am genuinely confident that all of us continue to think of Mr. Peart everyday! PEACE

“Music for morons.....” gets me every time!! No one can take their place in my life. RUSH fan since 1975 & Caress Of Steel.

This was a great intro video. Rather than becoming caricatures of themselves they poked fun at the idea.

I remember this opener from the Time Machine tour. Had the whole crowd laughing and going nuts during the false start of Spirit of Radio. Still can't believe I'm never gonna see them live again.

It ain't rock till you got a tuba. My favorite version of Spirit of the Radio.😉 RIP Neil.

Damn I miss these guys. That they could laugh at themselves only endeared them more their fans. I am still hopeful that Neil left some writings that Alex and Geddy will put to music. As prolific as The Professor was, there has to be something. I haven't cried in over a month, and I'm tearing up again right now. I love you guys.Thank you for everything

This is why I love these guys. Amazing artists!

I was there in Cleveland. It was terrific.

these guys are awesome musicians and they have a great sense of humor.. Alex is a ham

I love Alex's reaction to the tempo of the songs beats at 4:33...He throws his arms up and then turns his head in tempo with the SONG, hilarious....

I love, love, love music, almost every kind and variety, thousands of styles, can listen forever. But Rush is the only music I've ever heard that is so beyond good, it actually hurts. It is almost too good to listen to, sometimes my heart can't take it.

I don't know why, but I keep watching this and laughing my ass off. Maybe because I love Rush...crazy funny. Lifeson is hilarious!

Geddy and Alex are great comic actors!! maybe there is a post-Rush alternative career there. There are so well loved as people already, just casting them in comedic movies would create a buzz.

I've known these guys through their music since the age of 12 (1980). So many moments celebrating life with their music as the soundtrack to each of my stages to manhood. I will miss "the new guy" with great fondness and reverence. Thank you, Rush, for many years of inspiration.

So fantastic. I binge watch this a few times a week. When Alex coughs and then Farts !!!! Omg. Neil says “ A bunch of crap !!!” But he does comment that Books are good .!!!! This should be shown before any concert,no matter who is playing . Absolutely a classic . The fun they must have had doing this together . Oscar winner . God bless the 3 of them

I LOVE THIS BAND !!!!!!!

Signals was first. Time Machine was the last. I’ve got a RASH forever. Thanks for the memories and music, N G & A!

Geddy Lee is Jewish. His real last name is Wienrib. Both his parents are Holocaust survivors. Read lyrics to Red Sector A. That is his real daughter in video.

Tremendous And the guys are having fun, although Alex loves that suit Remember watching this live ... love Rush Gutted by the news of Neil Listening to every album, live album, bootleg I have through the rest of January RIP Professor, you are a legend Sir

All the show intros over the years, watching this makes me a bit nostalgic.

So great. This never gets old!

First saw Rush on the Permanent Waves tour. Seen them at least 7 more times since then. All I have now are memories. Seems to be happening more often.

I love so many different kinds of music, but in my 53 years, only Rush was so god damn good that it hurts.

I sure do miss those RUSH days.

Why Alex isn't doing more in comedy television and movies... he really should. He's totally got it. He could play so many different funny characters

Legend says, he still hasn't bitten that sausage yet

Love their acting chops too! RUSH played in Nashville at Municipal Auditorium during their "Grace Under Pressure" tour ca. '85(?) Midway through the concert, Geddy Lee announced that in honor of being in Nashville, the band had worked up a country music song. The audience erupted in a deafening din of "Booooos!" and we were denied what surely would have been an entertaining performance. I have always resented such narrowmindedness. I wonder if it would have been akin to "Spirit of the Country Radio" featured in this vignette? I will never know, sadly.

I love everything that these gentlemen represent, including of course their music. the BEST songwriters unrivalled band cohesion and not bad musos either

One of the best things I have ever seen.

I think Alex missed his real calling, Comedic actor!!😂😂😂

I just caught it. Alex turns to Neil (aka “the professor”) and says “books are for tourists”

Lmfao this just made my day best band ever! thanks rush!!!

I was at this tour, when this came on everyone went crazy lots of fun Alex has a natural comic sense of humor : the trailer park boys featured Alex Lifeson

These guys are so awesome...rock on world.

Neil dancing to the disco version. 🤣🤣🤣

Reminiscing only tears.. My favorite rush concert ever and I've been to all of them since signals

Best thing ever.....makes me proud to be a Canucklehead.

Fun to watch this again. Alex is a great actor! Love that Neal does the cross when Alex is dying and love that Alex rips on him about books being dumb. So good

I remember this .LoL. just awesome. 👍🇨🇦🍺

1:05 looks like Constable Peart is taking a break from being on the 'beat'

Saw this tour at Red Rocks….such a stellar show.

This is the greatest thing ever

Neil could have won an Oscar here as a beat cop....he is a natural!

HAHA! I've watched this at least every other day after R40 and it is still hilarious!

R.I.P. Mr Peart! !

This NEVER gets old!

Greatest intro ever.

wow they're good actors too. i guess i shouldn't be so surprised

@Franz Linszt: "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, it sounds like the damn poundin' in Hades!"

To say we love their music is an understatement. But watching the boys showcasing their sense of humor and not taking themselves so seriously is just as awesome.

"Sounds more like the Spirit of bankruptcy" great actors, musicians..just the best ever..miss them" wonder what ever happened to the "gafilter" 😄👍💕

The only great band that could make fun of themselves. R.I.P. PRATT! (Pratt was one of Peart's nicknames in the band)

Isn't that Alex Lifeson in a fat suit?

Best intro ever! From plain stupid fun to ultimate excitement! RUSH. Missing you guys.

They are fantastic performers

That was hysterical!

Excellent!

Rush movie. Neil/Tom Nanks, Geddy/ Adrien Brody, and Ale/Val Kilmmer. But seriously all of the vids that have been posted of late have been a celebration of Neil Peart🤙

Saw this live at 02 in London pre show. Everyone was laughing and enjoying it

5:09 "It doesn't suck so bad so this time Poppa, no hmm" Best line, I howled.

That's no piece of garbage....garbage is my friend from old country!

How cool was it that Geddy's sporting a "RASH" shirt live in concert?

Alex, Geddy & Neil should have been made complete movies. It is so funny and they have had so much fun doing it!
