I'm a year off 60 and I've been a music fan for my entire adult life. Most people don't understand how precious music is. I wasn't even allowed to listen to anything not song in Church until I turned into a rebellious teenager. Then I listened to whatever the fuck I wanted;. Rush influenced me and everyone I cared to know, Alex and Geddy are two of the best guitarists I have ever seen/heard. I didn't know Taylor at all, but if Dave Grohl left the percussion to someone else, he must have been a beast.

They are rock gods, just unbelievable wall of sound that Rush puts out

Getty Lee seems to be struggling with the higher notes while singing, but they sound really good! I can't ever remember hearing a bad Rush song, because it doesn't exist! I'm on the second listienng now.... Guitar 🎸 🎤 🥁 =Ahhhh!

Someone once asked EVH how it felt to be the best guitarist ever, and he said "I don't know. Ask Alex Lifeson".

mmm nah Geddy is definitely past his vocal prime

It’s like poetry. It rhymes. - George Lucas

said the same thing.

Except Neil died of cancer not from doing a fuck load of drugs!

I dont know how you can celebrate a drug addict killing them selves. They should have been there before it was to late. This is all a fucken joke

Or people just die.

In all honesty Chad sounded solid etc but nothing like Neil Peart . You really noticed the difference in working man and fills etc .

Fax. Honestly no better way to do it

@@humanactivated1017 lol. It was John Rutsy who played working man

Would love to see Mike Portnoy play with them.

​@@Cactus1-1Victor3I was going to say I can there is only one guy who comes to mind who'd truly do the parts justice and tribute Neil properly... that man is Mike Portnoy.

No way could Dave play a while Rush gig with that intensity, just goes to show how gifted Neil was to play that long without hardly breaking sweat.

@@paullaw3382 Grohl is exactly who COULD do an entire Rush tour. Don't you think he would rehearse?😮

@@bouzoukiman5000 Put the pot down kid.. Time for bed!

@@bouzoukiman5000 grohl is excellent but Neil technique is far more efficient and refined

Danny is the one who could pull off a whole rush show/tour

Danny Carey is incredible.

If Rush ever tours' again it's Dan and I'm sure he's up for it since it takes 10 years for Tool to make an album.

@@bothellkenmore lol he's got time!

100% agree with this. Danny is the only one of them who is in a true "Prog Rock" band like Rush. The other guys are killer rock drummers, but he's on a different level!

Loved how Danny tossed the drum stick in the air in the break in YYZ just like Neil did! ;-) \m/

Playing with Rush who his worshiped since his teens and in honour of his good friend Taylor. What a moment!

@@drtenma3744 couldn't agree more.

She's awesome 👌

Even better, look closely at the crowd. The majority show no reaction at all. They're millennials and GenZs who don't even know who Rush is and don't care

Remember Rush is only for guys And it’s required to wear black jeans to a Rush concert. That was probably a dude, but I can’t see his pants.

​@@stanleymasterson1135 But when they approached the stage the stadium was near tear down because of the screaming.

@@gabriel_mendez No it wasn't. The only screaming was from the girl holding the camera, ad just a small number of other people.

I've been a guitarist for 44 years and, while I don't a single favorite guitarist, Alex is definitely my favorite "rock lead" player. He is the master at bringing that energy.

Probably because Neil and Geddy, the greatest rock virtuosos of their respective instruments, got all the Limelight

Massively underrated. Voted by his guitar peers he does make the top 100 ever on poll by rolling stone.

He is 98th on Rolling Stones list but 8th on Guitarworld's list. We also know the R.S. list is mostly political, so I greatly devalue their lists.

He is on Rolling Stones list of top 100 guitarist......He is number 100

They call that Les Paul

I was thinking the same thing, beefy as all hell!!

He has some ballsy amps on stage too. EVH, good old Twin Reverb, probably his H&K, I think I saw Friedman amp as well

Agree 💯

Alex looks his age, and yet can still play like a god but Geddy.... is he even aging now?

@@RickReasonnz Geddy colors his gray believe me

I know right?? I’m 61 now & Rush was my band when I was a teenager, I saw them in 1981 or 82 in la crosse Wisconsin & we went to the show totally straight so we wouldn’t miss a thing ! Rip Neil & Taylor

@@1927su I respect Rush so much because they weren't the typical sex drugs and rock and roll band, very professional

Very well put,amigo,LEGENDARY.Future humans will see this on the historical record as we now recognize the introduction of FIRE!!!! To prehistoric man.Calculus, trigonometry,these were elementary to Neil Peart.

@@nivekvergas8217 😝🤘🏻

Also a heartwarming but very sad reminder of how many ultra-talented artists we’ve recently lost.

'The Professor' makes Grohl play like a child, lol.

@@Musica-zp7zn Grohl isn’t on Peart’s level on the drums, but he’s a legend in his own right and one of the nicest, most generous and down to earth guys in Rock. Show some respect and don’t be such a dick.

Word 💪🏽

Drummers like Peart or Bonham are above any comparison. But there are those who insist on comparing these musicians of courage who toast us with their participation in the bands we miss.

I hope Geddy and Alex continue to play with guest drummers to help the music live on. Don't get me wrong, Neil is the best drummer ever in my mind because to me, drumming is athletic and a precision science. There are amazing drummers that can add artistry to the instrument in different ways. Dave is one of them. He has flair and a way to play behind the beat that adds to the music like few, if no one else, can do. They aren't in competition. It's different.

Portnoy most likely wouldn't have fucked up the intro. It must have been soul crushing for Danny in that moment, but he is a professional and got on with, building into the song.

Except for his huge fuck up

11:39

REALLY? he completely f---d up a few parts......

Best comment here.

I can’t think of anyone better to do Neil Peart than Danny Carey.

@@DoiInthanon1897 Mike Portnoy could do that too.

Danny is THE GOAT

I've seen hundreds of people nail that. . . on air drums at Rush concerts.

​@@stevek8🤦‍♂️

No doubt he's a great drummer but that swing that Neil had is missing.

Check out Mike portnoy. His tributes are insane.

@@calebeecher8451 if Rush ever do anything more than appearances like this… it has to be Portnoy.

@@JedNadin most definitely. he truly becomes the artist he is portraying. And pays attention to every detail

@@Lance37a Totally. I hear that. Especially on the ride cymbal bits, its really straight on, no swing. I read on Reddit (who knows if its true) but that they didn't really rehearse it, had a quick sound check and that was it. Danny knew it by memory and just went for it.

Dave Grohl's superpowers: Being a great multi-instrumentalist. Being the nicest dude in rock. Having the most awesome friends to jam with!

Incredible way to send your bro off

So sad drugs took another...

Amen

Least he can do after the sacrifice. I love music sports entertainment but this is a Luciferian world these people sacrifice people they care about to enriching themselves. Wake up peeps the days we live in are evil. This distracts us.

There it is

@@nonsense2369 😆

Chad Smith is the RHCP drummer (Carries that whole band on his back) plus he was great in Elf.

Rhcp fans when they haven't made a Chad Smith joke in 12 seconds

One time he left the stage during a concert cause a fan screamed "Will Ferrell". And he had asked people to stop saying it. It was right after they had the drum off on Conan or Jimmy Fallon

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gYSlm6VuZ52h2mw.html

Chad rules!

This needs to happen at least once a year. What is more awesome and wholesome is that many of these guys have lost close friends but they can support each other on stage, Dave is a genius and an angel for putting together these amazing shows.

SAMMY WANTS TO DO ONE NOW 4 EDDIE. 💖💖

More more more!! This has been amazing. Every group that mattered has been represented❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤

I had to plug my ears and turn off this video 3 minutes into the song. Sounds like a local teenage garage band. How anyone can like this crap is beyond me. I can't listen to this stuff LIVE. I do enjoy the studio versions though, so don't call me a hater.

it really IS great, almost as good as the incredible Playing For Change shows. The next fractured band I sure would like to hear again would be Sly And The Family Stone. Then the surviving members of Pink Floyd. Then Oasis.

Same 61 and can't believe that I made it this far to witness this!

Neil with his ability to write lyrics as one of our lifetime greatest drummers. Geddy with his beautiful voice, who could drop a key or two to make his voice still relevent, and of course Alex, with his fat fingers showing us all that its not the size of the fingers, its what they can do. Seen Rush 13 times and I miss them so much.,

@@kennycab3374 i saw rush 9 times and loved every show

@1927su Don't forget Bonzo the king of the triplets!

I`am 61 years old too, and I love all this guyz, this music is my life, blessings to all here from the bavarian alps in southern germany 🤘🙏

Danny Carey is beyond amazing

Just no. If they want to do a project, I’m all for it. But there’s no Rush now, and never will be again.

@@theaterdreamer There was Rush before Neil, and there can be Rush after him.

It was great but nobody 'nails' a Rush song on drums. Come on, you should know that.

No one but neil. Rip.

But remember, Neil isn't the original drummer on this tune. I think this is one of the only Rush songs that a drummer can play and not worry so much about trying to duplicate it. I've heard so many Rush covers where it kind of gets "lost in translation". So in that respect, I think Chad to a marvelous job. I think he was the best of them all in both tribute concerts, and I think all of them are top notch drummers.

The F**K did he!!! Danny is a fine player but Neil is an impossible act to follow. Dave came the closest and played the hardest song of the set anyway and he wasn't perfect either.

It was my favorite out-of all them.

Not only that, but to fill in for one of his biggest influences live for the first time since his death… that hits way different and is a testament to Danny’s talent and mastery.

I agree!

That would be awesome im sure they had a good time playing

I never really liked the Chilli Peppers, but I can watch Chad all day long! His stints with Drumeo are awesome.

It´s not hard to play. It´s basically a hard rock song.

@@Rodrigo79799 lol okay

@@Rodrigo79799 wow you play at whole arenas and know you can pull it off? youre so good!!

@@cheenismaster69 You don't need to play in big arenas to know how to play an instrument, do you have shit in your head?

his timing was terrible tho, should have just let Danny play both songs.

Definitely lost some of tye kick to his voice but the long rest done wonders, I bet if they put the octave down a step it'd be just like an old rush concert

He's fairly well sung.

Tony and Flea are bored, John is in his own world and Chad is the best argument for the RHCP to keep playing live

@@gc8972bChad is one of my favorite musicians of all time but I think John is more legendary. Probably a top 10-20 guitarist of all time. The reason why the chili peppers are so popular

Chad is a monster on the kit and should be applauded for putting up with Frusciante’s BS for so long lol

@@NathanParsons-sy6zc Frusciante is the reason why the chili peppers are so iconic

Meanwhile Carey looks like he's bored

Ridiculous efficiency is the right word. Neil Peart was barely human.

You don't get a nickname like The Professor without being one of the best ever.

Rush will never be forgotten.

@@romeoslover817 the Beethoven's and Mozart's of our time and the future

The truly are THEE best of the best!!

You have magnificent taste...because it’s the same as mine😀

The 3 greatest! I’ve been dreaming of seeing Danny sit in for Neil since shortly after the professor passed.

and he screw the song lolll

Same over here!!

same

Amen !

thats why hes screw the song

@@sebg2086 yep , he screwed the beginning up , every drummer has different technique , all great drummers in their own right

Maynard's Dick is like 4 minutes long

@@sebg2086 Agree. This was a horrific performance and you could tell Geddy and Alex were not feeling it.

@@soundbreak7 he dont even play the ride part the same way.....DaNnY CaReY is the best.....no

Has been since 7th January 2020

Tras la partida de Neil, probablemente si lo sea...

11:39

Had to be a dream come true for all of them - playing with their heroes.

I couldn't have said it better

Well other than the bit where he fucked up at 11:39 xD

Besides the parts he fucked up. It looked like fun.

Wearing the raptors jersey too! 🇨🇦

Of course it wouldn't be the same without Neil. Rush will forever be 1/3 Neil. But the entire meaning of these shows isn't about that. It's about love & life celebration for Taylor & HIS connection & friendship with all those artists. If Neil were still with us he would be there playing his heart out for Taylor.

No kidding, nerd.

One of my biggest regrets is never getting a chance to see Rush in concert one time.

I hear you and sympathize. This is no disrespect to Neil, but the exact opposite. Danny and Neil had become close friends. So freaking cool to see him play YYZ. Chad Smith, also a huge fan and has said how Neil inspired him, just killed it! Killed It! Thank you Dave Grohl! What a splendid treat to watch this video.

Agreed. There's no replacing The Professor but damn its good to see Alex and Geddy on stage again 👍🤘

IKR

Not touring has done wonders for Ged's voice. He sounds awesome again.

The 2 best rock drummers ever

Which one? I always see Working Man as having 3 solos!

Dude, that's Will Ferrell.

@@tymattheu4820 ha ha ha ha...ROTFLMFAO!

@@docwho10th88 😁

He is a professional drummer

@@abelmontalvo4052 Most professional drummers cannot play Rush songs with ease

Ngl he ate it a few times here Love Danny to death but this wasn't his best showing

Who’s Danny?

@@tmklunk Danny Carrey, he's the drummer for TOOL. He came on for the song YYZ.

I wouldn’t mind betting Danny was near perfect on that… I feel with Neil’s passing he stands head and shoulders above the crowd… just like Neil did. In fact I would go as far as to say Tool stand in the same special category as Rush… a massive and dedicated following despite the lack of mainstream attention, exceptionally talented, deeply philosophical and spiritual to listen to.

​eil definitely passed the baton on to Danny on the way out. Even more touching that they were good friends

As great of a drummer as Daney Carey is, he didn't impress me with his YYZ performance. He messed up on the end of the intro, and also didn't do Neil Peart's signature ride cymbal pattern. As a Rush fan, I find that inexcusable. And I am a big Tool fan, as well.

Senri Kawaguchi would absolutely slay on hits from the old Rush catalogue.

The fact you correctly used their instead of they're... makes me know you're intelligent. This was a great 16 minute set. I'm still blown away by this

Unfortunately Dave fell for the big lie and made his whole crew get jabbed, resulting in the deaths of his tour manager and Taylor.

@@SpectrumRob shut up

True story. Have you noticed sports players dropping dead?

@@SpectrumRob I'd imagine it's not the vaccine

Thought he did great on drums there ,not easy to get away with many mistakes playing rush
