1
00:00:19,790 --> 00:00:23,490
It is our pleasure today to be of
service in the following languages,

2
00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:25,350
French, Spanish, Portuguese.

3
00:00:47,820 --> 00:00:50,620
I think the last thing I expected was to
find fans at the airport.

4
00:00:51,020 --> 00:00:54,320
It's not like we're Justin Timberlake or
anything like that.

5
00:00:55,900 --> 00:00:59,140
Listen, we're musicians. It's not really
that noble a pursuit.

6
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,980
And if you can do something that touches
someone like that, it's pretty mind

7
00:01:05,980 --> 00:01:06,980
-boggling to me.

8
00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:10,460
So I had actually arrived separately
from the other guys coming in from

9
00:01:10,460 --> 00:01:11,940
California and they were coming in from
Toronto.

10
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,240
And thus I was able to avoid all the
hoopla, which is fine for me.

11
00:01:16,780 --> 00:01:22,160
And we came into it all kind of open
-minded, expecting anything, not knowing

12
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,380
what might happen, technically what the
circumstances of the concerts might be,

13
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,640
or even how big the audiences might be.
But it was the last three shows of the

14
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:36,420
tour, and we had deliberately chosen to
end on a kind of risky but exciting way.

15
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,220
At the time of finishing Vapor Trails,
we were kind of debating whether or not

16
00:01:55,220 --> 00:01:59,440
to tour, but decided, yeah, we'd do it
one more time. And started, I guess,

17
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,160
about April of 2002, I started
rehearsing my parts in a warehouse in

18
00:02:04,260 --> 00:02:09,199
and then gradually the guys came
together and we started simplifying the

19
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,320
and gearing it up again for the long
haul.

20
00:02:12,369 --> 00:02:16,110
And consequently though, we were so well
prepared and the production around us

21
00:02:16,110 --> 00:02:19,730
was so well rehearsed that even the
first show went really well. And I

22
00:02:19,730 --> 00:02:23,790
the three of us just exchanging a look
on stage of the triumph of having

23
00:02:23,790 --> 00:02:26,650
survived the last five years and
everything that it took to bring us to

24
00:02:26,650 --> 00:02:27,650
show.

25
00:02:47,310 --> 00:02:51,830
I think you do get tired of playing
certain songs over the course of a tour,

26
00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:54,090
especially songs that you've played for
decades.

27
00:02:55,190 --> 00:03:00,470
But this tour, I never got tired of any
songs that we played.

28
00:03:00,770 --> 00:03:07,730
I didn't have a song that was on my B
-list of songs

29
00:03:07,730 --> 00:03:12,070
to play that night. I just seemed to get
off on the whole thing every night. It

30
00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:15,250
was immediately rewarding to see the
audiences.

31
00:03:17,419 --> 00:03:23,620
The whole issue of not taking it for
granted, which I think you can easily do

32
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:24,620
something like this.

33
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,140
I just looked at it like this might be
the last time I ever played these songs.

34
00:03:29,020 --> 00:03:35,080
And it probably isn't, but I think you
have to look at all of life like that.

35
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,240
To create a set list is one of the
toughest things.

36
00:03:59,620 --> 00:04:04,040
And what we do is we start with, well,
what did we do last? What did we play?

37
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,200
What songs did we play? What songs
didn't we play?

38
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:11,540
And then we put a wish list together of
what songs would we like to pull back

39
00:04:11,540 --> 00:04:13,760
out of the past that we haven't played
in some time.

40
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:18,140
And we start emailing potential set
lists to each other.

41
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:20,079
And that's how it starts.

42
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,880
And of course, you know, there's always
pressure from fans.

43
00:04:24,260 --> 00:04:29,060
Then Alex and I got together at my
house, and we started listening through

44
00:04:29,060 --> 00:04:34,000
all these records. Like, we kind of went
through every record going back in

45
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,520
time. I mean, we hadn't done that, maybe
ever.

46
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,560
And we sat in my kitchen, played
everything back over my computer, and it

47
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,520
kind of fun. We were laughing a lot.

48
00:04:45,870 --> 00:04:49,830
Some songs came back and went, wow, that
really sounds good. And some songs came

49
00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:54,710
back and was like, there's no way I can
ever play that song again. I'm sorry. I

50
00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:58,750
don't care how much the fans want it. I
apologize, but there's no way I can play

51
00:04:58,750 --> 00:04:59,669
it.

52
00:04:59,670 --> 00:05:03,070
And so that's how it starts. And the
first set list is about four and a half

53
00:05:03,070 --> 00:05:03,929
hours long.

54
00:05:03,930 --> 00:05:07,850
And then you just start playing it. And
sometimes a song that you think will

55
00:05:07,850 --> 00:05:11,970
never work, once you play it, you go,
that sounds really good.

56
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,280
What was I thinking? We should
definitely play this. And Neil had some

57
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:18,140
hesitation about certain old songs.

58
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,700
And then once we played them, there was
so much spirit and we were smiling so

59
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:27,000
much that it was like, well, yeah, let's
do it.

60
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:35,300
Oh!

61
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,440
Are you kidding?

62
00:05:39,950 --> 00:05:43,590
We got into bed, and I'm, like, rubbing
her. I'm going, I love you, Arlene. I

63
00:05:43,590 --> 00:05:44,549
love you.

64
00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:46,270
And she's like, shut up.

65
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:48,770
Shut up. I'm trying to sleep. Shut up.

66
00:05:49,050 --> 00:05:55,470
My wife, Charlene, came out to a lot of
gigs on this tour, more than

67
00:05:55,470 --> 00:05:56,630
she ever has.

68
00:05:56,990 --> 00:05:58,890
And we had a lot of fun together.

69
00:05:59,510 --> 00:06:00,570
Now something's going.

70
00:06:02,890 --> 00:06:04,030
Stone, I need makeup.

71
00:06:05,210 --> 00:06:06,430
You need more than that, honey.

72
00:06:08,650 --> 00:06:10,050
Even she's yelling at me.

73
00:06:11,370 --> 00:06:12,890
She's hitting.

74
00:06:14,170 --> 00:06:16,550
Ladies don't make with the hitting.
Please, ladies.

75
00:06:17,730 --> 00:06:20,730
I'm wandering around my room going,
where am I?

76
00:06:21,410 --> 00:06:28,330
I think I must be in... So my limit

77
00:06:28,330 --> 00:06:33,590
is supposed to be 20 grams of
carbohydrates a day. I hit about 1 ,200

78
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:34,590
night.

79
00:06:35,150 --> 00:06:39,240
I woke up... I woke up and I'm like the
fattest person I've ever met in my life.

80
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,080
I concur.

81
00:06:41,180 --> 00:06:44,880
I got dressed and touched like, oh, you
look like a magician. You spin around,

82
00:06:45,020 --> 00:06:48,900
jumping around like a magician. So I'm
still pretty agile for a big, bloated,

83
00:06:48,940 --> 00:06:49,940
fat guy.

84
00:06:53,420 --> 00:06:59,260
How come there's so many eggs?

85
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,080
I don't drink coffee.

86
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:07,720
Or smoke cigarettes. Or smoke
cigarettes.

87
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:11,120
That's the truth. I quit smoking a year
ago.

88
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,940
It's second -hand smoke that I'm worried
about.

89
00:07:14,260 --> 00:07:17,200
My second hand, it always has a
cigarette in it.

90
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,160
How long are your interviews?

91
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,120
Weeks.

92
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,680
Like three hours?

93
00:07:23,340 --> 00:07:26,720
No. We have a photo shoot for ten
minutes.

94
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,440
It's like, you know, paparazzi!

95
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,820
And you go, you stand like this.

96
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,400
By Steven Seagal? Yeah.

97
00:07:39,340 --> 00:07:41,360
I learned from Steven Seagal.

98
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,580
Got my hat on. I'm ready to go do the
interview. You should.

99
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,080
All right, I will.

100
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:56,700
Shut up.

101
00:07:58,020 --> 00:07:59,100
This is monotonous.

102
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:02,660
Such a play. This is going to be too
good.

103
00:08:03,380 --> 00:08:04,400
Welcome to Brazil.

104
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,040
We're going to be able to have a
wonderful time here. We're really

105
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,720
So long, like, waiting for you to come
down. Well, we were just upstairs. No,

106
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,320
no, waiting for you to come down to
Brazil.

107
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,640
Yeah.

108
00:08:17,180 --> 00:08:18,180
Hi,

109
00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:25,780
guys. This is the Brazilian press.

110
00:08:43,540 --> 00:08:44,540
No, no, you got one.

111
00:08:46,380 --> 00:08:47,620
Use your pen. Use your pen.

112
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,840
Okay,

113
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:51,100
we have to go.

114
00:09:14,010 --> 00:09:20,930
It took us so long to come here because
we're

115
00:09:20,930 --> 00:09:21,930
not very smart.

116
00:09:23,510 --> 00:09:27,350
We didn't realize we had so many fans
quite frankly.

117
00:09:27,610 --> 00:09:28,790
Where is Neil?

118
00:09:29,370 --> 00:09:31,330
Why isn't he here with you?

119
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,440
Before we started this tour, we had to
discuss how we were going to handle

120
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,439
press.

121
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,520
And because of the events in Neil's life
and what had gone on, we knew there was

122
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,320
going to be a lot of interest in what
had happened and how he's doing.

123
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:53,120
Most of it, I believe, comes from a good
place, but some of it is just pure

124
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,120
curiosity.

125
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:57,560
And so we talked about it.

126
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:05,420
So we talked about it, and we had to
feel that he could handle it.

127
00:10:06,380 --> 00:10:11,100
And, you know, it's very emotional to
talk about that kind of thing.

128
00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:15,680
And it's one thing to talk about that
kind of thing with your friends. It's

129
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:18,660
another thing when you're being asked it
over and over and over and over and

130
00:10:18,660 --> 00:10:21,500
over again by people you don't know very
well.

131
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,420
And we just believed it was best for him
just to not be involved in press.

132
00:10:29,130 --> 00:10:34,570
It was enough for him to come back to
play on the record so well and to be a

133
00:10:34,570 --> 00:10:38,690
contributing part of the band again and
to even be willing to spend that much

134
00:10:38,690 --> 00:10:39,690
time on the road.

135
00:10:40,250 --> 00:10:43,490
So that's asking a lot of him from where
he was.

136
00:10:57,230 --> 00:10:58,350
We're going

137
00:10:58,350 --> 00:11:06,630
to

138
00:11:06,630 --> 00:11:10,210
make airplanes out of beef.

139
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:20,550
We flew in.

140
00:11:20,970 --> 00:11:24,750
to Porto Alegre the day of the show.
Originally we were supposed to come in

141
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:28,830
night before, and for some reason that
wasn't working.

142
00:11:30,030 --> 00:11:34,150
So we flew in, and then we realized
halfway through we were in the middle of

143
00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:38,570
tropical storm, and it was pouring rain,
and the plane was being tossed around,

144
00:11:38,810 --> 00:11:41,450
and people were very nervous.

145
00:11:42,190 --> 00:11:43,190
Anyway,

146
00:11:43,510 --> 00:11:48,890
we landed fine, and we walked out, and
it was pouring like cats and dogs.

147
00:11:49,210 --> 00:11:50,530
And then we thought, oh.

148
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,520
My God, I hope... These are outdoor
shows.

149
00:11:54,340 --> 00:11:58,700
Will the show go on? So we got to the
venue, and of course, there were

150
00:12:18,750 --> 00:12:20,390
Well, we don't have a monitor console.

151
00:12:21,210 --> 00:12:24,670
The one that we're supposed to have
didn't happen.

152
00:12:25,190 --> 00:12:31,930
So best case scenario is that it's put
the mix board, the mix

153
00:12:31,930 --> 00:12:36,650
position, side stage, stage left, and
Brad will have to mix from there and do

154
00:12:36,650 --> 00:12:37,650
monitors from there.

155
00:12:37,850 --> 00:12:41,970
The stage is completely wet. They're at
a standstill right now. They can't do

156
00:12:41,970 --> 00:12:42,970
anything.

157
00:13:21,450 --> 00:13:25,730
Our nightmare started this morning when
we came in with so much rain.

158
00:13:27,410 --> 00:13:34,370
We've got basic heavy problems with
monitor desks and such

159
00:13:34,370 --> 00:13:35,470
being way too wet.

160
00:13:35,790 --> 00:13:40,570
We've just now got it back. We're doing
a line check, and by God, we're going to

161
00:13:40,570 --> 00:13:41,570
have a show.

162
00:13:54,560 --> 00:14:01,120
I can learn to coexist with anything but
pain.

163
00:14:01,260 --> 00:14:08,120
I can learn to compromise anything but
my

164
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:14,920
insides. I can learn to get along with
all the things I

165
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,400
can't explain.

166
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,440
Well, I think for...

167
00:14:19,710 --> 00:14:24,010
Three tours now, we have this
conversation, Alex and I. Wouldn't it be

168
00:14:24,010 --> 00:14:25,010
do something acoustic?

169
00:14:25,590 --> 00:14:31,190
And we talk about it, and somehow or
another, we never get around to trying

170
00:14:31,690 --> 00:14:35,150
But when Alex and I were sitting down
and listening to all the material and

171
00:14:35,150 --> 00:14:39,730
Resist came on, you know, I said to him,
you know, I bet you that would sound

172
00:14:39,730 --> 00:14:44,230
great with a slightly different
arrangement, just guitar, because it's a

173
00:14:44,230 --> 00:14:45,230
song anyway, really.

174
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,040
And he said, well, let's try it. And
even when we got in rehearsals, we were

175
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,920
kind of delaying trying it, and then
finally one day we just said, okay,

176
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,520
come in a half an hour late, we're going
to try it. And we felt really odd about

177
00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,520
it.

178
00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:04,560
But we kept rehearsing it, and we just
loved doing it.

179
00:15:20,890 --> 00:15:24,870
Kenny and Alex had started talking about
doing an acoustic version of Resist,

180
00:15:24,970 --> 00:15:28,930
but they were still a bit dodgy about
partly the stereotype of doing the

181
00:15:28,930 --> 00:15:33,510
unplugged part of the set that we've
always avoided doing the predictable

182
00:15:33,930 --> 00:15:37,830
But I noticed that they had asked me to
come in a bit later while they worked on

183
00:15:37,830 --> 00:15:41,110
it, and then one day I remember Alex
coming up, it's going to work, it's

184
00:15:41,110 --> 00:15:44,430
to be so great. I was crying, I had
tears in my eyes. And then from then on,

185
00:15:44,430 --> 00:15:47,890
actually during the tour, you would
often see him at the end of that number,

186
00:15:47,890 --> 00:15:49,770
know, mock wiping away tears.

187
00:15:50,589 --> 00:15:53,050
And they said at the time, you know, if
you want to play something acoustic,

188
00:15:53,250 --> 00:15:56,410
play some congas or something. I said,
no, that's okay, because it came in the

189
00:15:56,410 --> 00:15:57,570
set right after my solo.

190
00:15:57,970 --> 00:16:01,910
So after that workout, I was quite happy
just to sit down in the dark and let

191
00:16:01,910 --> 00:16:03,550
them play for a little while by
themselves.

192
00:16:16,270 --> 00:16:18,910
There are songs that come to mean
different things to us.

193
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,320
Emotionally, and for instance, I can
never play the past without being moved

194
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:29,400
emotionally for what that song says, not
only explicitly lyrically, but what it

195
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:34,140
conveys musically to me. It's one of our
better crafted ones in terms of the

196
00:16:34,140 --> 00:16:39,300
expression of emotion and the expression
of restraint, and

197
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:44,640
there's a certain worldly compassion
about that.

198
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,480
That sounds like...

199
00:16:46,810 --> 00:16:49,690
For us over the years, it's always been
kind of a sacred time of day. And even

200
00:16:49,690 --> 00:16:52,270
if we were playing two nights in the
same building, we'd do a sound check on

201
00:16:52,270 --> 00:16:55,650
second day and at least run through
things. It was a kind of a warm -up.

202
00:16:56,590 --> 00:17:01,570
And a lot of times we'd be going into a
jam session at the beginning that we

203
00:17:01,570 --> 00:17:05,310
would record and save at the end in mind
for good ideas and a lot of times get.

204
00:17:05,630 --> 00:17:09,069
great song ideas from. Other times it
can be an opportunity for Alex to do a

205
00:17:09,069 --> 00:17:12,369
monologue that we'll be playing
something and he'll step up to the vocal

206
00:17:12,369 --> 00:17:16,790
in his inimitable style he'll deliver a
little story about somebody on the crew

207
00:17:16,790 --> 00:17:20,770
or some flight of insanity, you know,
that only Lurk could do.

208
00:17:24,569 --> 00:17:29,190
The nature of Rush has always been
musicianship first.

209
00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:30,990
Just him.

210
00:17:31,250 --> 00:17:34,950
We always tried to be the best musicians
we could and we tried to challenge each

211
00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:36,990
other. And I don't think that's really
changed.

212
00:17:37,470 --> 00:17:39,750
I mean, a lot has changed.

213
00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:44,250
Obviously, we've become much better
songwriters and song arrangers and

214
00:17:44,250 --> 00:17:48,910
producers, and all those things have
taken a more and more important role

215
00:17:48,910 --> 00:17:49,910
through the years.

216
00:17:50,030 --> 00:17:53,370
So that shows your growth and your
expanding, but at the core of it, we're

217
00:17:53,370 --> 00:17:55,450
players, we love to play, and we love to
play well.

218
00:17:55,670 --> 00:17:59,050
I expect myself to play well, and I
expect myself to play better.

219
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,080
and do something better than I did last
time.

220
00:18:02,340 --> 00:18:06,500
And that is a natural part of Rush. It's
a natural thing that Alex, Neil, and I

221
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:10,360
share. We want to do things better.
That's what drives us.

222
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,180
That's always what's driven us.

223
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:18,920
Today there was a big rainstorm.

224
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,380
And stuff got broken and wet.

225
00:18:25,900 --> 00:18:29,800
And then our great, excellent, most
excellent crew fixed everything,

226
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,380
the rain. They got to stop rain.

227
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,640
So those guys were the best.

228
00:19:20,170 --> 00:19:21,170
Cut your hand.

229
00:19:22,170 --> 00:19:27,370
It's a bit sluggish, but it's a lot
better than it was, but it's definitely

230
00:19:27,370 --> 00:19:28,189
healed yet.

231
00:19:28,190 --> 00:19:29,390
Did you find out what was wrong?

232
00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:36,510
Yeah, I have two stretched ligaments on
either side of the finger's knuckle, and

233
00:19:36,510 --> 00:19:41,870
they're way stretched and way falling,
and they're making mobility.

234
00:19:43,070 --> 00:19:46,990
They're taking the strength and mobility
away from the finger, which is my main

235
00:19:46,990 --> 00:19:47,990
problem.

236
00:19:48,780 --> 00:19:49,780
noisy bastard.

237
00:20:17,290 --> 00:20:19,430
I feel so happy for these fans. They
waited so long.

238
00:20:20,090 --> 00:20:22,050
I want to give them the best show we can
do.

239
00:20:22,530 --> 00:20:25,170
I just want to send them home happy
after all this time.

240
00:20:27,570 --> 00:20:29,430
I mean, look, they come out so early.

241
00:20:29,650 --> 00:20:33,310
They wait three hours, and they're
screaming already.

242
00:20:38,110 --> 00:20:41,750
This perfect city has lost most of its
magical South American ass.

243
00:20:43,670 --> 00:20:46,170
That's Florianopolis. That's one that
they told us.

244
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,480
Love you, too.

245
00:21:23,150 --> 00:21:27,230
For me, I like to warm up for a half
hour or so before the show.

246
00:21:27,470 --> 00:21:32,750
I find even 10 minutes is beneficial to
get the fingers moving.

247
00:21:33,390 --> 00:21:37,350
I've had some problems with my hands
with psoriasis, and they get a little

248
00:21:37,350 --> 00:21:42,630
swollen, so I need to do that warm -up
to clear it out a little bit.

249
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,460
And I think you just continue watching.
Watching baseball, that loosens me up.

250
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,280
Baseball is good. It gets my hands
ready, and it gets my mind right.

251
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,640
So that's my woman.

252
00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:12,340
And then, of course, I have to put on my
clothes, which is strenuous. Very

253
00:22:12,340 --> 00:22:17,520
difficult. Changing my shoes. Well,
yeah, changing my shoes is really

254
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:51,000
Neil warms up for about 20 minutes
really, you know, a real serious. Yeah,

255
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,640
out. Does an all out, you know, 20
minute drum solo kind of thing.

256
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,860
Just to make sure that he's loose.

257
00:22:58,920 --> 00:22:59,920
Oh, and soup.

258
00:23:00,660 --> 00:23:02,400
We have soup every day.

259
00:23:03,820 --> 00:23:07,920
Usually before sound check. Yeah, before
sound check we have to come in and have

260
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,340
soup. And that is really important.

261
00:23:11,470 --> 00:23:15,670
And we, you know, we talk, and sometimes
we don't talk.

262
00:23:16,050 --> 00:23:17,370
But we still have soup.

263
00:23:17,650 --> 00:23:19,830
Yeah, we still have soup, and we have
that.

264
00:23:20,130 --> 00:23:22,530
Sometimes we could talk or not talk for
hours.

265
00:23:22,810 --> 00:23:26,750
Yeah. And sometimes we have soup after
we have soup.

266
00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:29,510
So we'll have two soups. Yeah.

267
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,920
Every day I have the soup. I don't think
we could have got through that tour

268
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:47,920
without the soup.

269
00:24:28,409 --> 00:24:34,250
Thinking about this foreign country I've
never been to before, on the other side

270
00:24:34,250 --> 00:24:35,250
of the world.

271
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:43,230
The fact that we have this opportunity
to play for a lot of fans that we never

272
00:24:43,230 --> 00:24:44,230
knew we had there.

273
00:24:46,730 --> 00:24:48,270
The wrapping up of the tour.

274
00:24:50,130 --> 00:24:53,210
The work that went into the album that
preceded the tour.

275
00:24:54,270 --> 00:24:56,310
Time off that we had for five years.

276
00:24:56,780 --> 00:24:57,780
Both good and bad.

277
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,380
Where we were at on the previous tour.

278
00:25:01,780 --> 00:25:05,440
Like all those things were going through
my head.

279
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,800
The new stuff from Vapor Troll, I think,
was really the most exciting stuff to

280
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,260
play, and it's always like that, you
know, the newer material is always more

281
00:26:40,260 --> 00:26:42,100
enjoyable to play.

282
00:26:42,380 --> 00:26:45,660
Earthshine was a great song to play,
nice and heavy.

283
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:52,220
You know, the old standards, like Tom
Sawyer and Limelight, you know, they're

284
00:26:52,220 --> 00:26:53,240
always a lot of fun.

285
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:58,300
By tour, we probably stopped playing
around 78, I would guess.

286
00:26:59,770 --> 00:27:03,850
77, 78, something like that. I wanted to
play that for a long time.

287
00:27:04,090 --> 00:27:09,870
You know, it was always a favorite. I
think it's a really good representative

288
00:27:09,870 --> 00:27:12,210
song of Rush in the early days.

289
00:27:12,510 --> 00:27:17,150
So I was really pleased that we were,
you know, resurrecting it for this tour.

290
00:27:17,550 --> 00:27:24,290
The video stuff that was done for it,
the animated battle between Vitor and

291
00:27:24,290 --> 00:27:28,750
snow dogs, was quite humorous. You know,
you could...

292
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,460
He's playing the song, and you can see
people laughing in the audience.

293
00:27:32,660 --> 00:27:33,760
And that's so great to see.

294
00:27:34,420 --> 00:27:37,780
You wouldn't think that you'd want
people laughing in your audience, but

295
00:27:37,780 --> 00:27:44,600
definitely it's, you know, I want it to
be fun going through the show.

296
00:28:06,860 --> 00:28:07,860
Welcome.

297
00:29:09,190 --> 00:29:11,230
Okay, thanks everybody.

298
00:29:11,530 --> 00:29:12,530
See you later.

299
00:29:26,730 --> 00:29:33,130
When the hoax of Russian Brazil came on
to us,

300
00:29:33,270 --> 00:29:39,530
the Brazilian fans fastly tried to
gather

301
00:29:39,530 --> 00:29:43,030
on the purpose of meeting them.

302
00:29:44,630 --> 00:29:51,490
All music was perfect for the lyrics. It
inspired me in so many ways

303
00:29:51,490 --> 00:29:52,490
that I...

304
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:53,760
Oppression and such stuff.

305
00:29:53,980 --> 00:29:54,959
Yes, yes.

306
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:55,839
It's everything.

307
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:56,840
The world is everything.

308
00:29:57,540 --> 00:29:58,540
Which country are you going to?

309
00:29:59,540 --> 00:30:00,620
Rio and Sao Paulo.

310
00:30:00,940 --> 00:30:03,360
If I had my money, I would go to Porto
Alegre too.

311
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,360
All my presents.

312
00:31:39,860 --> 00:31:40,860
I'll tell you.

313
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:48,260
Jews must have a hell of a time with
their hair in it.

314
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:49,680
Fine.

315
00:31:52,300 --> 00:31:53,560
I'll get for Jewish hair.

316
00:31:55,380 --> 00:31:56,760
I'll get the frizzies immediately.

317
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,120
How many fucking nails have I broken?

318
00:32:01,700 --> 00:32:03,740
I don't think these shapes will be
there.

319
00:32:12,210 --> 00:32:13,210
Hardly much rain.

320
00:32:13,770 --> 00:32:18,170
Well. I mean, it came, like, in buckets
for about five, ten minutes. Oh, did it?

321
00:32:18,210 --> 00:32:22,030
And it's been, like, misting, like, I
don't think we've seen the last of it,

322
00:32:22,030 --> 00:32:24,370
I do see blue sky there.

323
00:32:24,910 --> 00:32:26,690
Better than it was earlier. Yeah, let's
hope.

324
00:32:27,030 --> 00:32:28,030
Definitely.

325
00:32:32,650 --> 00:32:34,190
Hello, sir. How are you?

326
00:32:35,850 --> 00:32:36,829
I'm fine.

327
00:32:36,830 --> 00:32:37,830
Did you have a good day?

328
00:32:38,210 --> 00:32:39,510
No, but I'm still fine.

329
00:32:40,690 --> 00:32:41,690
No problem?

330
00:32:41,900 --> 00:32:42,900
Plenty of problems.

331
00:32:43,180 --> 00:32:47,960
Did the board crank up okay? Well, yeah,
until we basically lost power.

332
00:32:48,580 --> 00:32:51,300
So everything lost power?

333
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:57,100
No, just the audio. What we've got is we
have bad cabling that they brought in.

334
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,240
We have bad insulation on the joint.

335
00:33:00,940 --> 00:33:05,560
Rubbed together our fire extinguisher.
Now we're waiting. I mean, we do

336
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,400
everything so that we're safe for
tonight.

337
00:33:08,740 --> 00:33:10,200
And then we're going to...

338
00:33:11,180 --> 00:33:14,480
So what are we looking at? We're still
wiring the stage.

339
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,660
Okay. You know, I mean, it's going to be
a while. Okay, that's fine. I just want

340
00:33:18,660 --> 00:33:20,200
to know. Where's your hat?

341
00:33:21,860 --> 00:33:22,860
Where's your hat?

342
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,480
I should have a hat asking for money.

343
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,540
You look like you should be on the beach
at Rio trying to make a few bucks.

344
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:39,719
Go on.

345
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,170
Throw this. poor beggar a few coins,
would you?

346
00:33:42,550 --> 00:33:45,330
He can't even afford full pants like
everybody else.

347
00:33:47,510 --> 00:33:49,270
Merce is my oldest and dearest friend.

348
00:33:51,630 --> 00:33:53,970
He's the funniest man I've ever met in
my life.

349
00:33:54,350 --> 00:33:57,950
I don't expect I'll ever meet a funnier
person than him, ever.

350
00:33:58,990 --> 00:34:05,550
He's an incredibly emotional guy, so he
can be rational one second, and the next

351
00:34:05,550 --> 00:34:08,030
minute he can be completely irrational.

352
00:34:09,179 --> 00:34:11,580
Very sharp in a very scientific way.

353
00:34:11,780 --> 00:34:17,600
And as a player, he's not kind of a
methodical player. He's a very

354
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:18,600
player.

355
00:34:19,020 --> 00:34:22,780
He can write things without thinking
about them.

356
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,800
That felt like I got a real taste for
civilian culture. Right.

357
00:34:28,219 --> 00:34:31,880
I really had a great day. It was nice to
get out of the hotel. I was feeling so

358
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:32,880
claustrophobic.

359
00:34:34,219 --> 00:34:35,659
Well, I'll tell you, like all of us,

360
00:34:36,780 --> 00:34:42,320
a lovable mass of contradictions, as we
all are, and we can all be goofy as can

361
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,139
be, and we can be serious and get down
to it, and Geddy particularly, when he's

362
00:34:46,139 --> 00:34:51,260
constructing arrangements or working on
vocal parts, he enters that narrow zone

363
00:34:51,260 --> 00:34:52,260
of concentration.

364
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:57,380
But at the same time, he's crazy for
sports and baseball, but we share so

365
00:34:57,380 --> 00:34:58,380
interests.

366
00:34:58,610 --> 00:35:03,190
in art and literature and even bird
watching the two of us can talk about

367
00:35:03,190 --> 00:35:08,970
time to time. All of us have these broad
ranging interests and facets to

368
00:35:08,970 --> 00:35:12,270
personalities that in the case of the
three of us at least just happen to mesh

369
00:35:12,270 --> 00:35:16,750
so well that we entertain each other and
we stimulate each other and more than

370
00:35:16,750 --> 00:35:20,650
that the work actually gets done by the
combination of methods that we all have.

371
00:35:29,260 --> 00:35:30,500
I left a bag in the van.

372
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:36,240
Alfredo, I left a bag in the van that I
came in. Is it still here?

373
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,640
It's my stage shoes for tonight.

374
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,100
Pete, did you get that black bag out of
the van?

375
00:35:43,980 --> 00:35:44,839
Black bag?

376
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,380
I left a black bag in the van.

377
00:35:49,780 --> 00:35:54,360
Looking for the shoes is not really a
documentary issue here.

378
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:01,280
Well, Neil is a very different guy.
People build up this impression of him

379
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,740
he's this real serious, brainiac guy,
and he freaks people out when they come

380
00:36:05,740 --> 00:36:11,340
try to talk to him, but he's just a
normal guy. He's just got a big brain,

381
00:36:11,340 --> 00:36:12,660
he can be as goofy as anybody.

382
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,260
He's just a great guy to hang out with
and a great guy to talk to about

383
00:36:16,260 --> 00:36:17,260
anything.

384
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:24,440
And here we have my new team, the Porto
Alegre team.

385
00:36:26,060 --> 00:36:31,760
Of course, if I were to wear it, the San
Paolo team fans would kill me.

386
00:36:33,380 --> 00:36:34,380
So forget it.

387
00:36:34,820 --> 00:36:35,820
Just forget it.

388
00:36:37,460 --> 00:36:38,460
That's groovy, yeah?

389
00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:40,020
What is that for? That's security.

390
00:36:40,420 --> 00:36:41,540
Vigilancia. I'm tired.

391
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,800
Security guy gave it to me before we got
in the car. That was really cool.

392
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:46,759
Nice man.

393
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:47,760
Thank you, man.

394
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:49,920
Okay, I have to go to the washroom now.

395
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,120
We don't need that part.

396
00:38:06,490 --> 00:38:10,810
Well, the venues in Brazil are so huge,
in São Paulo and Rio, they're just huge,

397
00:38:10,950 --> 00:38:14,950
and they're historic, because that's
where the great matches, you know, it's

398
00:38:14,950 --> 00:38:16,670
about football there, soccer.

399
00:38:18,830 --> 00:38:23,370
Being Canadians, you know, it's not that
well -versed in there.

400
00:38:24,230 --> 00:38:27,890
soccer history, and everyone's waiting
for an opportunity to talk about soccer.

401
00:38:28,270 --> 00:38:35,110
So to play those venues, in their mind,
that's a great honor to play at the site

402
00:38:35,110 --> 00:38:37,930
of the great soccer victories for the
Brazilian team.

403
00:38:38,130 --> 00:38:39,130
So that was kind of cool.

404
00:38:44,810 --> 00:38:48,610
I suddenly realized how huge the stadium
was.

405
00:38:49,170 --> 00:38:55,300
It was just one section, because You
took in the whole stadium. It didn't

406
00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:57,340
that big, you know. It just seemed like
a stadium.

407
00:38:57,580 --> 00:39:02,800
But when you looked at a section, and it
had, you know, like 600 seats in that

408
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:03,800
section,

409
00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:10,160
and the seats were tiny, you realized
how big this place was.

410
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,380
So it was great.

411
00:39:48,819 --> 00:39:54,840
Normally before the show we do a short,
what we call a meet and greet, which is

412
00:39:54,840 --> 00:40:00,800
just, you know, you take ten minutes out
and meet some hardcore fans that have

413
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,300
won contests, and it means a lot to them
to spend a few minutes chatting with

414
00:40:04,300 --> 00:40:10,300
them, so we try to do that on a nightly
basis and spread some good karma around,

415
00:40:10,460 --> 00:40:11,460
kind of.

416
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:16,340
And so we did the same thing in Brazil.
We got to meet some of the fans.

417
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,660
I am fan since 1995.

418
00:40:24,580 --> 00:40:30,640
And I can't explain what I'm feeling now
because it's not only music.

419
00:40:30,940 --> 00:40:36,360
They teach us so many lessons with their
songs.

420
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,020
And there is another thing.

421
00:40:39,620 --> 00:40:43,040
I'm a drummer and I'm a third fan.

422
00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:48,860
We love them all and we'd like them to
come back.

423
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,640
It's a great show in Brazil.

424
00:40:51,130 --> 00:40:53,690
And they will come back and I will be
here too.

425
00:40:53,990 --> 00:40:55,170
I will be here again.

426
00:40:55,790 --> 00:40:59,410
Russia is our best band in the world.

427
00:41:00,230 --> 00:41:02,470
A lot of thanks because you came to
Brazil.

428
00:41:02,810 --> 00:41:08,070
It's a hope. It's a very, very... A long
time we were expecting you here.

429
00:41:09,030 --> 00:41:11,410
It's a great expectation for all these
fans.

430
00:41:11,650 --> 00:41:15,250
And I hope you have a great time here
and come back a lot of times.

431
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,260
There's three guys that sound like 20
guys on stage.

432
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,660
They can do better than an orchestra.

433
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,840
They're really enjoying themselves, not
looking like robots, you know, trying to

434
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,420
go to effects and stuff.

435
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,080
You really see they are really enjoying
the music.

436
00:41:29,380 --> 00:41:35,580
The band, it's my musical inspiration,
and music in my life is very, very

437
00:41:35,580 --> 00:41:37,060
important. It's my heart, my soul.

438
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:42,280
And these guys, they mean happiness for
me, you know?

439
00:41:42,820 --> 00:41:44,640
And the songs, they're wonderful.

440
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,580
And you guys are the best.

441
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,300
The best. Thank you. Thank you for
changing my life so much.

442
00:41:50,900 --> 00:41:52,900
We love Louis with all of our heart.

443
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,740
And the fans will enjoy the show
forever.

444
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,740
It's great that at least they have a
chance to come here. At least once, you

445
00:42:01,740 --> 00:42:05,600
know. I don't know about the future, but
at least they came here once, you know.

446
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,220
And people are so happy.

447
00:43:01,630 --> 00:43:06,590
That power show was one of the most
dramatic shows in our entire career

448
00:43:06,710 --> 00:43:09,810
For one thing, by far the largest
audience we've ever played to anywhere.

449
00:43:10,350 --> 00:43:14,610
And I think in my memory, the only time
we've actually played in pouring rain,

450
00:43:14,750 --> 00:43:18,270
not only was it pouring, but it was
blowing in straight on us. My electronic

451
00:43:18,270 --> 00:43:23,690
midi marimba ceased functioning, and I
would hit it and nothing would happen or

452
00:43:23,690 --> 00:43:27,750
some totally unrelated sound. So I'm
restructuring my parts as we go.

453
00:43:28,250 --> 00:43:32,530
And the crew's scrambling around beside
me trying to get it going, and meanwhile

454
00:43:32,530 --> 00:43:36,290
I'm just departing from it. Okay, it's
not going to work accepting that

455
00:43:38,130 --> 00:43:39,250
It was just awful.

456
00:44:03,050 --> 00:44:07,170
When we went to Mexico, we had no idea
that song was so popular in Latin

457
00:44:07,170 --> 00:44:08,170
America.

458
00:44:08,310 --> 00:44:10,010
And so we hadn't prepared it.

459
00:44:10,230 --> 00:44:14,790
In Mexico City, we rehearsed it that
afternoon, played it like a lot of

460
00:44:15,170 --> 00:44:18,710
and then just played it that night, and
it worked out.

461
00:44:18,990 --> 00:44:22,290
We were a little more prepared in
Brazil, because at least we knew we were

462
00:44:22,290 --> 00:44:26,410
to have to play it a few days before, so
we rehearsed it in sound checks.

463
00:44:27,050 --> 00:44:29,710
I was listening to my solo from last
tour, and thought, well, I'm not really

464
00:44:29,710 --> 00:44:33,090
finished with that framework yet. And
there was still a development that I

465
00:44:33,090 --> 00:44:35,910
have done there, but then I thought, no,
it's been five years, I really want to

466
00:44:35,910 --> 00:44:38,910
start fresh. So I kept some elements of
it, but put them in a whole different

467
00:44:38,910 --> 00:44:42,170
configuration, just in the framework
that I dreamed up.

468
00:44:42,430 --> 00:44:45,970
And there's some things about it that
are autobiographical, there are parts of

469
00:44:45,970 --> 00:44:49,030
that solo that have always been in my
drum solo, and parts that are fresh.

470
00:44:49,500 --> 00:44:51,160
every tour in parts that are fresh every
night.

471
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,200
It's designed to be kind of my little
experimental area, stuff that I'm

472
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:59,200
interested in. The history of drumming
is in there, from rudimental drumming to

473
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,360
African drumming to jazz drumming, rock
drumming.

474
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,940
And there are parallel stories being
told, I guess, is something that I try

475
00:45:06,940 --> 00:45:11,040
get at. So it's not just an exhibition
to me. I want it to have a framework

476
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,380
a listener's point of view that will
understand there are threads of

477
00:45:14,380 --> 00:45:15,380
going on here.

478
00:46:58,540 --> 00:47:04,840
Well, the Rio show was an amazing feat
of endurance from our road crew's point

479
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:09,300
of view. I mean, if ever I believed they
were the greatest crew in the world, it

480
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:11,400
was proven on that last show in Rio.

481
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,280
Our crew didn't get in.

482
00:47:13,540 --> 00:47:17,120
I don't think they got into the hotel
until about 12 in the afternoon.

483
00:47:17,340 --> 00:47:21,740
And usually when we start to set up a
show, they're in about 7 in the morning

484
00:47:21,740 --> 00:47:25,400
the venue starting the first trucks. But
I don't think the first piece of gear

485
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,540
hit the stage until about 2 o 'clock in
the afternoon.

486
00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:35,360
So for them to get the show up in time
to do a show at 10 o 'clock at night was

487
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:36,360
just unbelievable.

488
00:48:32,300 --> 00:48:38,420
It was a very, very tense day, and it
was clear that we were not going to get

489
00:48:38,420 --> 00:48:44,940
sound check that day. So here we are,
big

490
00:48:44,940 --> 00:48:47,460
show in Rio.

491
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:49,200
We're filming it.

492
00:48:51,300 --> 00:48:56,860
We're recording it, and there's no sound
check out front, which I don't think

493
00:48:56,860 --> 00:49:00,200
was a big deal because we've already
done 70 shows, and we knew we could pull

494
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,200
out.

495
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,480
But no check for the soundtrack.

496
00:49:03,860 --> 00:49:06,160
No check for the film people.

497
00:49:06,940 --> 00:49:09,120
I mean, when we hit the stage, that was
it.

498
00:49:09,460 --> 00:49:12,480
Cameras better work or all goes for
naught.

499
00:49:13,100 --> 00:49:16,380
It's actually going to be kind of a fun
thing. The show's going to just get set

500
00:49:16,380 --> 00:49:17,520
up in time to start.

501
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,420
So it's going to have a whole different
dynamic to it.

502
00:49:29,420 --> 00:49:30,420
It's been...

503
00:49:31,310 --> 00:49:38,010
A fascinating time working with these
guys, seeing the growth of the band over

504
00:49:38,010 --> 00:49:44,550
all of these years since 1976 into a
situation where we're in Brazil now

505
00:49:44,550 --> 00:49:50,790
massive stadiums, particularly last
night in Sao Paulo where they played the

506
00:49:50,790 --> 00:49:54,650
,000 people, which in fact was the
biggest show in the history of Russia.

507
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,580
There is such a great rock following
here in Brazil.

508
00:50:15,820 --> 00:50:20,160
Rock music and what Rush does is a great
match.

509
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:26,080
And as a result of that, consistently in
the polls, year on year for the last 10

510
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,060
years, it's been Rush, Rush and more
Rush.

511
00:50:35,420 --> 00:50:40,080
The trucks were so late arriving from
Sao Paulo to Rio that it was a question

512
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:41,440
even if the show could go off.

513
00:50:41,660 --> 00:50:43,220
anywhere near close to time.

514
00:50:43,500 --> 00:50:47,160
And yeah, they were setting up right
till a minute before we walked on stage,

515
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:48,920
think. So it was about as...

516
00:50:49,700 --> 00:50:53,260
against the odds, as you can imagine,
but it was, again, the measure of

517
00:50:53,260 --> 00:50:58,220
professionalism and good spirit. I
remember my drum tech, Lauren, coming in

518
00:50:58,220 --> 00:51:01,060
before, everything's all right, and the
meeting room is working, you know, and

519
00:51:01,060 --> 00:51:05,620
there was this sense of conquering
adversity and carrying on regardless.

520
00:51:05,620 --> 00:51:09,640
was the spirit the three of us had, and
sure enough, that spread down through

521
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:14,940
the crew as well. I am a big fan, a real
big fan, maybe one of the oldest fans

522
00:51:14,940 --> 00:51:15,980
of Rush in Brazil.

523
00:51:16,590 --> 00:51:21,830
Because when we could get no records of
that band, my father had one, and I

524
00:51:21,830 --> 00:51:26,050
could listen to Spirit of the Radio, and
I got the whole spirit.

525
00:51:58,860 --> 00:52:02,380
The last show, too, is a sense of grand
finale. You want it to be triumphant.

526
00:52:02,420 --> 00:52:05,360
You want it to be great. It's something
you're going to remember and carry away

527
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:09,540
with you as a souvenir of it. So, yeah,
in addition to the cameras, in addition

528
00:52:09,540 --> 00:52:13,060
to the recording truck, there's always
the sense that we wanted a souvenir that

529
00:52:13,060 --> 00:52:14,720
was going to be satisfying and
memorable.

530
00:52:18,660 --> 00:52:23,180
We know and the audience knows that
we're playing songs that we want to play

531
00:52:23,180 --> 00:52:25,140
songs that we're proud of and that we
enjoy playing.

532
00:52:25,550 --> 00:52:28,750
And that has to convey itself, I think,
to the audience, that we're never, ever

533
00:52:28,750 --> 00:52:29,830
just going through the motions.

534
00:52:47,250 --> 00:52:53,210
It means so much to us to do it well.

535
00:52:53,580 --> 00:52:56,620
But I think also that has to reach the
audience, but they know we can't.

536
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:10,080
So why do you think this tour was so
easy and so smooth, David?

537
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:15,740
Easier than the soup, yeah. The soup
made it a lot easier for us.

538
00:53:18,790 --> 00:53:21,910
Yeah, that's about it. I don't think we
could have played as well as we did

539
00:53:21,910 --> 00:53:22,910
without that soup.

540
00:53:23,070 --> 00:53:28,050
No, we're not joking. That soup was so
good.

541
00:53:28,470 --> 00:53:29,470
You have no idea.

542
00:53:56,910 --> 00:53:59,070
I think I have a shrimp caught in
between my teeth.

543
00:53:59,930 --> 00:54:00,930
What's a shrimp caught?

544
00:54:05,510 --> 00:54:11,270
Is that something they sleep on?

545
00:54:12,370 --> 00:54:14,390
When they're like having a little nap?

546
00:54:14,950 --> 00:54:16,730
Because they are a shrimp.
