Back on March 28, 2010 Rush was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. The ceremony aired on CBC Radio but wasn't televised, and an audio version was posted online shortly thereafter. However, there wasn't any video available until just recently when the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame website added video of the ceremony to Rush's page in their Virtual Hall of Fame (thanks RushFanForever). Included are the 15-minute video of Dave Bidini's introduction of the band where he reads from his book For Those About the Rock, along with Rush's acceptance of the award and Neil Peart's speech. There's also Jacob Moon's performance of Subdivisions, Les Claypool's performance of The Spirit of Radio and Alexis on Fire's performance of Tom Sawyer. It should be noted that Alexis on Fire's performance had not been included in the original CBC broadcast due to technical issues, so this is the first time it's seen the light of day.
