I have to disagree. I love Mike and I am sure he didn't even have to practice or review the tabs to this beforehand to perform with YYNOT this show, mostly because he is that talented on the fly, but with that said pretty much every official YYNOT drummer has had the song down with 100% accuracy to the original, played perfectly in honor of Neil, so I would actually give them even more credit for putting in the work if we are talking about putting in that dedication and I don't see how one could imply that they couldn't do the song justice but Mike could. I still enjoy Mike's interpretation, but to me it's pretty obvious he didn't spend a lot of time learning Neil's fine details for the track.
