UPDATE - 7/24@9:47AM: Alex posted a photo of himself with Morello following the show with the following message:

What a fun night playing with Tom at the Danforth Music Hall last Thursday. His band and crew are wonderful people, gracious and generous. Meeting Roman Morello and watching him play was such a delight. He is a terrific kid and a scary talent. Many thanks to Cheryl and Niki for their kindness and consideration to my family and me.

Tom Morello performed a show at Toronto's Danforth Music Hall yesterday evening, and Rush's Alex Lifeson made a surprise appearance, joining the band for their cover of Rush's Limelight. Despite some significant technical issues (looks like Alex lost the E string during the solo), it was a great performance as seen below or on YouTube. Morello is a huge Rush fan, and has collaborated with Alex in the past, including his 2024 track I Have Seen the Way, which featured Alex and Metallica's Kirk Hammett. You can watch the performance below or on YouTube:
