I've watched this for +15 years, 15000 times, and I still just shake my head in awe at this man's talent, timing, and creativity. Simply #1 GOAT.

After hearing the news of Neil passing, had to come back and listen to my favourite solo of his. RIP

I remember in concert seeing Neil flip a drumstick up beyond the stage lights, still playing with both feet and his other hand, no look-catch, as effortlessly as if someone had just handed it to him...Godspeed Neil Peart, a dazzling presentation of what humans can be capable of...

When I heard that you were gone I felt a shadow cross my heart R.I.P. Neil.

Thank you for everything you've done Neil....you couldn't have done more...love Canada

Well, boys and girls, this is what happens when virtually unlimited God-given talent, an inner metronome and a really big set of drums join forces.

Mr Peart has left the building... RIP MR PEART

He has gone too soon. R.I.P. the best rock drummer to ever live.

If you gave me a million years and and a million lessons, I could still never do this. Thank You and I appreciate what you did for me.

This and his solo during YYZ on exit stage left are my two favorite Neil solos.

The man was a legend for sure.

Just now realizingt how damn good he really was. Holy shit Rest in peace you drumming legond. You will never be duplicated.

Dude, you were my hero and now youre gone! 😪

Neil Peart, the best there.was ...the best there is .. the best there will ever be!! Thank you for the countless hours of beautiful music. RIP 🙏 Neil!!

he makes it look soooo easy

My ticket for the 1993 tour of North America had me sitting above Neil at the Phoenix state fair Arena, and I was wise enough to bring binoculars to a concert for the first time! Despite the best seat in the house to watch Neil, the binoculars brought me into a much closer, private world with Neil. I could see his sweat fly, I could read his facial expressions, I could see the spittle building up on his lips. I had seen Rush a dozen times prior to that night, but watching Neil from such a personal POV that night provided me with an experience that I didn’t know I craved! My eyes were glued on Neil for an entire show. It was akin to witnessing (insert “greatest ever” here) to seeing Mozart or Beethoven perform. It will be generations before another Neil Peart arrives. So grateful that we got to enjoy him while he was human.

A musician's musician. Long live NEIL PEART.

LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!!!!! YOU ARE!!!!! WERE!!!! AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE KING OF PERCUSSION!!!!!!! THANK YOU MR, PEART!!!!!!!!!!

From this view you can truly see why Professor Peart operates at an entirely different level from any other drummer past or present (sorry Bonham fans...).

I can play Der Trommler with one hand. ... let me see, where is the play button.

Really lost a gem of a drummer and gem of a soul. ❤

What is amazing is how fast he can play on top of flat out being good.

RIP great one. This solo still gives me goosebumps. 😢

Those Germans can really appreciate that kind of precision from the professor.

RIP Neil - You Will Never Be Forgotten!

I watch and listen 4 times a week. I love it

never went to pee when this guy soloed

6:40 I don't think we have cams fast enough to record him.Holy Shiat!

Maestro, profesor, sensei, o baterista ! a un año de tu partida, tu legado está más que vigente. QEPD 🙏

Neil made it sound like playing drums was simple ... and complex at the same time. When he played with his eyes closed, he felt the instrument. At that time, he and the drums were one thing, a perfect union! Rest in peace!

3:00 I can't believe how the feet can keep the beat (double tap on tambourine and one on bass drum in an RLL pattern) while the hands are doing all that, including lots of crazy syncopations and offbeats. Simply unbelievable. Note: I'm a drummer.

Never has it will get old. Thanks Neil...you did more for people than you’ll ever know.

My computer killed itself because it couldn't stand his awesomeness!!

I never knew you, but I love you Neil! RIP

Note to heaven: Heaven.....your about to receive in my opinion ....one of the best...if not the best drummers or percussionists to have beat the skins since John Holmes. He's the definition of a drummer. He must be looked at as one of the best to do it. If not the best. He's well respected and can go from jazz to big band....to heavy solo stuff.... to warp speed quickness and agility..... to stuff the stratosphere is shaking its head in disbelief. A modern day drum God. What a loss to his family and friends and his fellow bandmates.... and all people who love music.... and the many Rush fans out there who are mourning his loss......RIP MR.PEART ...

Simply a musical genius.

It has been a few weeks now since the passing of Neil Peart. I finally can come on here to look at the legend on video. May he R.I.P...may the spirit of the music he helped create never die. Long live the memories...🙁

Very cool video n camera view,always enjoy watching him play.R.I.P.the great Goat Mr.Peart.

Think of how many drummers have been inspired by this solo of Neil’s! I certainly was as a teenager! RIP and thank you

Can you imagine if Neil Peart was an Octopus ? What a stud!!

Absolutely amazing!! Surrounded by his Set on that rotating Drumkit Stage !! Loving this!! Rock in Heaven Professor 🙏❤🤘

Byłeś genialnym perkusistą. Miałam przyjemność być na koncercie Rush w Berlinie w 2013 roku. To było cudowne doznanie. Najlepszy z najlepszych perkusistów. RIP

The greatest rock band in the WORLD plays at the pearly gates now.

brilliant to see this LEGENDARY solo of the proffs from above .. just shows what a fantastically musical piece of drumming this is … he was unique there will never be another … until we meet …. my percussive hero x

MIND BLOWN

Truly a one of a kind human being. God given spirit and talent. Never stop watching professor .

just stupidly awesome. can't even describe how great this is

They should rename it "Peirtcussion". I guess he really did need all those drums.

Truly awful news yesterday about our beloved Professor Had tears in my eyes when I heard the news yesterday Been playing albums and just listening to that marvellous drumming RIP my musical hero

The sad loss of yet another awesome musician who added to the soundtrack of my life...

The epitome of greatness.

@BiafraMain Portnoy really is amazing, buit Peart kinda shows him the door. here.

Awesomeness!!🎉🔊🌒🎧🔊🥁👑🎛️🎛️🇺🇲🇨🇦🥌

RIP Neal Peart

I know I'll get a bunch of crap for this ,BUT, Neil was very impressed by Perter Criss when they toured with KISS in the 70s when ALIVE ! was hitting . I have talked with Peter ,Moose ,who was the head tech for KISS until the Destroyer tour. Anyway Neil got that Peter Criss was actually a jazz drummer trying to play hard rock ,and took lessons from Gene Krupa, one of the best drummers ever. Peter was good when he was just s tarting ,and before too meant drugs . Anyway ,Neil noticed that Peter would take the bottom drum head off ,and Mic them like that and a few other things . Of course, there is no comparing the 2 ,but, itsvan interesting thing to know. You can look up old interviews ,he does talk about him and Peter while they toured together and what He picked up .

Simply Amazing. RIP Neil.

Miss ya like hell, my dude... One of a kind. Thank you, sir for all the music

Verdaderamente grande...

some performances are insane. and then there's this.

That's Neil Peart.People!

Thank you for everything, Neil. Legend to surely all be missed. Not being physically there with us, but in our hearts.

His versatility and the way he structured the drum solo was/is genius.

I saw this same drum beat and drum setup during the Hold Your Fire Tour at the "Drum" in Austin.

I am sooooooooooooo glad I grew up when I did!

Pure genius and a helluva practice regimen, the world is a lesser place...

Enjoyed this solo many times but this top view was great!

I've Got a fever, and the only prescription... is more cowbell!

the god of drums

RIP Neil... one of the greatest & most preternaturally talented drummers ever to walk the planet. ❣️❣️💔💔

6:41 will never cease to amaze me. RIP

Rest in peace, you genius.

One of his very best. Slightly different than his other solos you can tell he was having one of those nights where everything worked

Adieu l'ami, toi qui nous a tant fait vibrer au fil des années Ton solo restera et sera à jamais unique... Maintenant tu as rejoint ta femme et ta Fille, mais tu imagines même pas comme tu vas nous manquer... Tu resteras toujours le meilleur batteur du monde... J'aurais tant aimé assister à R50 !!! Sans toi ça n'a plus de sens... Mais saches que partout dans le monde, tes sons raisonnent et moi le premier même si je suis Français je diffuse tes sons à qui veut les entendre et ça ne laisse personne indifférant, tu seras toujours une idole et je mets au défi qui conque ose espérer arriver à ton niveau... Chapeau l'artiste !!!!
