We are sorry the weather did not co-operate and we were unable to land in North Bay, Ontario to attend the convocation ceremony and accept our honorary degrees in person as planned. Thanks to our friends at Sportsnet who were able to tape the intended speeches when we landed back in Toronto so they could be posted here. Thank you Nipissing University! — Dr. Lee (Hon), Dr. Lifeson (Hon), Dr. Peart (Hon) Alex: http://vimeo.com/98068056 Geddy: http://vimeo.com/98071869
“It was our first album without Terry Brown producing and the producer that we originally hired changed his mind at the 11th hour, so we essentially produced it on our own and as a result it turned out to be one of the most difficult and stressful recording sessions of our career.
