Obviously, this performance took place at a Christmas concert (on December 2nd, 2024, to be exact).
It’s a charity event hosted by musician Andy Kim, who wrote and performed a number of hits in the 60’s, including the 1969 Archies hit “Sugar, Sugar.” He also wrote and sang a song that held the top spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 for an incredible 4 months in 1974, called “Rock Me Gently.” Now in its 20th year (and expanded to include shows with different lineups in Toronto, Montreal, and Calgary), the Andy Kim Christmas Concert has often included appearances by Alex Lifeson.
PS - While the BNL are of (what I think is) your and my generation, Red (viz Generation X), and the guys from Rush were amongst the first cohort of Baby Boomers, Alex and Geddy have been friends with Ed, Tyler, Jim, and Kevin for a number of years. There’s actually a studio performance (again, for charity) available on UA-cam, which has Neil, Geddy, and Alex performing Rush’s closer to the Heart with BNL’s Ed Robertson and … wait for it … Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys.
PPS - If you never watch the cult classic Canadian TV program, Trailer Park Boys, you should. There’s even a couple of episodes in which Alex performs more than just a cameo.
RED ALERT Alex was just given the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Guitar Museum for 5 decades of contributions to the world of guitar.
When I think you can't get any more fun you do ❤❤❤CONGRATS on 38K on to 50K 💯💯#reaction #rush #rushreaction💯💯💯#redheadedneighbor #bestreactor #redsarmy #beautifulfuncountrygirl #heartofgoldwithmetalinhersoul #38K
So glad to see Alex out having some fun playing. :) Miss him and Geddy and of course Neil...
I think it was two years ago? Led Zeppelin Cover w. Alex Lifeson (RUSH) - Andy Kim Christmas (Dec 8, 2021)
Lifelong 53 year old fan of Rush. I have never seen this!! Thank You!
Thanks to whomever submitted this link. I love it!
BNL are fun. Alex is a Joker. Great combo
Any top ten guitarists of all-time list that doesn't have Alex on it is simply invalid.
Agreed
It might have been my comment that brought this to your attention. Cool! Have a Merry Rushmas and a Happy New Year. Only 87 more until 2112!
Love it!!!!❤❤❤
Fun reaction! 😂That was always going to be fun with BNL and Alex Lifeson on stage together!! Looked like Tyler Stewart was singing there, Ed must have been on drums.
BNL typically do a xmas concert like this every year in TO. They always have Canadian guest artists and it's always awesome.
Another great reaction, Red. Thank you for all you do… I enjoy the hell out of watching this young love for the guys. Your reactions are always so sincere, both for these bozos and the bands in the other videos I’ve watched.
I’ve also decided that you are an exemplary human being. Thank you for being you. You are hands down my favorite reactor, and if that isn’t reason enough to wish you the happiest of holidays, then someone’s fired… not sure who, but someone.
This was Big Al vid was great, and I knew you’d love Tears,but…
…and I know I speak for many…
WHEN ARE YOU DOING “BETWEEN THE WHEELS” ?!!!
Seriously, it’s a jam… and there are a few vids out there of them performing it live. Very moody and HUGE sounding. That keyboard riff is a total earworm…
Joyeux Noel!
Thanks Red, that was really fun! And a most Merry Christmas to you and yours.
They just performed it just a few weeks ago, so you’d have every reason not to have heard of it.
That was BNL’s Tyler Stewart (normally the drummer) on lead vocals. Normal BNL lead vocalist, Ed Robertson, is on the drums for this one.
The album is Barenaked Christmas. A must listen.
Omg never saw this before! That was fun! Thank you😎
My new favorite Christmas song. 😊
Thanks ❤❤❤
Loved your little Xmas touches like the reindeer horns + the red sweater & I think I only just realized you have a Star Trek license plate. KEWL!!!!!
There were 2 original BNL members no longer w/ the group: multi-instrumentalist Andy Creegan (who was replaced by Kevin Hearn) & co-lead vocalist/guitarist Stephen Page. Furthermore, every1 looks different cause they're older along w/ the fact mentioned elsewhere about Ed and Tyler switching positions for this song.
Happy Holidays to you also .
I think that of all the folks who react to Rush, you would appreciate "Shut Up Shuttin' Up" off of Alex's solo effort VIctor. The two instrumentals, 'Mr.X' and 'Strip and Go Naked' are also great.
And by the way, "War Pigs" is a Black Sabbath tune.
Slightly modified here, but a nice find. Thanks, Red!
EDIT: Here's Sabbath performing this tune, in 1974 (the same year Rush released their first album):

50 years have passed by...
That was silly Good
Have you checked out Closer To The Heart from the Tsunami Relief from 2005?
Ed Robertson, who is on the drums for this one, is the BNL guitar player, and Bubbles from The Trailer Park Boys, also on guitar, join the 3 members of Rush

You have to do: "Bob & Doug McKenzie with Geddy Lee - Take Off".
Howdy Neighbor! Don't know if you can up your signal but seems I have to double my volume for your channel compared to others. Darn Cool! How did Jack Black Not come up with this first song? Great Job Neighbor!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼🎄
Very cool to see Alex collaborating with BNL. He pops up from time to time on various cameo’s as well as his work on his newest band Envy of None so he still has the fire to keep playing. I would still love to see Alex and a Geddy do some stuff together but of course it wouldn’t be in the vain of Rush. Once a Neil left us that was the end of Rush and I think sadly that’s how it should be.
Did you do something with your eye lashes or something WOW! RED looking real real real pretty…Feliz navida 🎄☃️❄️
Nice Antlers Hun!!!
❤😅!!!✌
Electric Callboy, we need it.
Yes just missing the other original lead singer guitar player Ed Robertson is missing from the Ladies

Thanks for sharing this. Someone just mentioned this to me when I said I had seen a Christmas version of Black Sabbath's Iron Man. I Am Santa Claus --> ua-cam.com/video/CRW2poUfJ34/v-deo.htmlsi=NTZKHt13W8y3tjIn
