  • Alex Lifeson is the most underrated, under appreciated guitarist of his generation.
  • @barrettarq
    Neil's kit has become so big over the years that they are still building it after the show starts...
  • @MrRobmusic78
    We all owe these guys the biggest thank you.. We are in debt. They earned every penny they have ever made and deserve every penny. They have made my life a better place and i'm sure they have yours too :-) There has never been another band like RUSH, and NEVER will be. Period....

    Props to the camera dude. One of the best "home" videos I've seen.
  • @glfrjack
    Prima Donna.... NOT!!! Peart's little smile and tilt of his head after realizing that the tom made it back for an important flare was precious. But not so much as the look and smile of acknowledgment given to the technician for getting it back to him while still playing. The smile lingering for 4 to 5 seconds after just shows how appreciative he is about the people around him.

    And that - ladies and gentlemen - is why we call him "The Professor". Well played sir!
  • @johnIZaUWL
    It's the drum techie that is just as professional as Neil in this situation πŸ˜ŽπŸ’—πŸ˜ŽπŸ’—πŸ€˜πŸ€˜πŸ€˜πŸ€˜πŸ€˜

    That's like getting a flat tire changed while doing 80 mph!
  • @giveitarub7215
    I think it's ok if Neils missing a tom. He's got atleast 43 others to hit ;)
  • @petescarinzi905
    THAT is why he is the master! He doesn't miss a beat at all and just continues to play like there is nothing wrong with his kit!
  • @Smittyschannel
    As a drummer, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! for zooming in so others can watch him at work.... its so stinkin hard to try & see how he plays his various fills & rudiments. Glad to see he goes back to the advanced basics in the beginning here... many thanks
  • I love the way he smiles at 4:35. He's glad to have that tom back. I also like the way looks over at Gump at 4:42, as if to say "thank you"!

    My one and only Rush show was at Saratoga, NEw York on 7/23/2010 and it was freezing and raining all day. Cleared up about a half hour before the show started. Geddy actually said "Thank you for enduring the rain! And thank you for WANTING to sit through 3 hours of this stuff!" Also, these guys are the Gods of music
  • @mletalien
    Neil is truly such a bad ass! Love how he goes from traditional to matched grip effortlessly. The guy has put his time in, that's for sure!
  • @hvietro
    Excelent camera steadiness... congratulations!
  • @grandpabill6684
    Always a privilege to watch a / the master play !! You would never no he's missing a Tom until the roadie brings it out .
  • @clownnookie
    Usually, I'd complain about there being no (ahem) camera love for Geddy, but this awesome video gives us an up close and intimate shot of Neil playing for an entire song. WoW.
  • @robNsteveFilms
    I've never realized how high Neil has his snare and toms till now. With that tom missing you can really see how high his arms have to be in order to hit the hi-hat, and how far he has to extend his reach to hit the furthest cymbals. Awesome!
  • I like how no fuck was given by him and played with his remaining drums!
