The Who/Rush/Doughboys/All Systems Go Fans

This video has been on Youtube for years and only had 6 likes (and one is mine from years ago!)

It's some kind of Canadian all-star band with John Kastner from The Doughboys/All Systems Go and Alex Lifeson from Rush covering The Who's 'Run Run Run' ... not sure who the other guys are, anyone know? .... anyway, if you like give it a like.

I'd love to know more about this gig if there's any local Canadians here 'Andy Kim Xmas Mod Club Dec 10 2008' if you were there, who else played what was it all about?

 

[Si G X]

wow, OK I just found this too!

 

[beyer160]

Dude, that old guy can play!

A friend of mine got one of Kastner’s dreads caught in her nose piercing. That’s all I got.

Cheers,
Geoff

Are Lifeson's hands like freakishly enormous?

Wasn't he one of the singing voices on the Archies?

And co-wrote "Sugar Sugar".

Thanks, everyone.

That's the second time The Archies have come up in a matter of weeks, coincidentally that song was #1 on the day I was born.
