RIP Neil! 😢😭

Audience singing along with an instrumental. EPIC.

Every rush song is now considered a legendary masterpiece, we as fans,already knew that in 1974.

Neil Peart is in heaven giving drum lessons to God.

UNBELIEVABLE! All three of these gentlemen are BEYOND next level!

I can barely put into words how grateful I am to have been able to see these guys live more than once.

Boy do Brazilians know how to vibe. Wouldve killed to have been at that show. Such energy!!

RIP Neil Peart. September 12, 1952 - January 7, 2020 (Age 67). He is and always will be the best drummer in the world. Nobody can't even come close to matching his style. The king of the drumming world. I grew up spending countless hours listening to Rush songs on MTV and Stereo Panama radio station from 1984- 1991. He wrote most of Rush song lyrics by adding a unique mix of ancient philosophy, comic books and strong messages that shaped my teenage years. Great nostalgia. Neil Peart you will remain forever closer to the heart of all Rush fans worldwide !

listening to that Brazilian crowd. moved me to emotion. incredible.

It saddens me to think this masterpiece will not be played in anger anymore. Best musicians group in rock for sure. Unbelievable.

This song is so incredibly EPIC! Alex’s intro solo is soulful. WOW!!!

Even if you're not a drummer La Villa Strangiato is at the bare minimum worthy of some vigorous finger and foot-tapping. Arguably one of the most wonderfully complex and ambitious RUSH compositions. Thank you Neil and RIP!

The energy of the Brazilian people truly shines through on this. This is my all time favorite recording of La Villa Strangiato.

The audience participation and enthusiasm at this show was phenomenal! Hear them shouting on every snare hit at the beginning...they are louder than the sound system! Rush said they were astounded at the crowd here.

probably the greatest drummer ever..............

I had the pleasure of seeing Neil play live 36 times dating back to 1977! It is Clear to me that EVERY Modern drummer Emulates him to some point. Neil is a true pioneer, and that Emulation is his Legacy!

The fans in RIO are amazing. Every time I see them on every live Rush song the sheer enthusiasm brings a smile to my face. One of the best bands of all time with the best fans of all time!

Props to Alex. No other guitarist could fill his shoes. Undoubtedly the best power trio ever

Geddy Lee once said in an interview this was the hardest song they ever recorded and performed live.

Long live the Professor Peart!!!!!!

How Geddy pulls off those slaps and compressions on those licks effortlessly is incredible.

The world is a better place for having this music.

The drum composition is outrageous

Each and every one of us; Rush fan or not has lost one of the most; if not the most prolific percussionist of all time. As well writing the bands lyrics; a timeless lyricist and poet. “Bell tolls for thee.”

i ALWAYS LOVED THIS SOLO on guitar. It's like the Comfortably numb solo from Pink Floyd. It is just so well balanced and put together.

Neil will never rest...He is one of heavens teachers now

Try to actually fathom, this was all original stuff, not covering a band. Look at the timing, precision, technicality. Modern day bands are a joke. Neil humbly did this in front of thousands than slipped out the back door and road his motor bike to the next town. That's what grounded him. Geddy and Alex stuck around for meet and greets. Some thought however he was arrogant but was not arrogant at all just shy and humble and didn't like the attention for as he said " playing drums with sticks". No one could do what he did with that huge intimidating drum kit. Of course we know he was so much more than that. He was a voracious reader, wrote 5 books and most lyrics of Rush, as Paul Langois from Tragically Hip said he was "Intimidatingly smart, we all looked up to him" And what's crushingly sad is he died of Glioblastoma same as Gord Downie!!!.. just terrible. WATCH THEIR LIVE IN RIO CONCERT!! AWESOME!!

One of the greatest drumming performances ever... And He did this time and time again.. To The Great Stone Face.. Whom I saw at least 5 times.. Hope to see you play this in heaven.. Rest in Peace.

When I heard he was gon I felt a shadow cross my Heart

RIP Neil - we will never forget you!

Master of his craft, inspired me for 40 years...RIP

the day I heard that Rush would no longer perform live I was so shocked and upset that I couldn't talk for days.Thank you for 45 of wonderful music gentlemen

Just can’t get enough of this brilliant band. Been a huge fans for 30 years. Just love these guys 👍

God I'm going to miss this man. Secondly, I don't think I've heard a more active audience than in Rio, Brazil.. This concert. THIS Crowd was ELECTRIC.

There is no greater moment in rock than when Alex changes from clean to distortion during the intro to La Villa

The precision and execution of these three together always leaves me in awe. Learning this song on guitar in my teens was an incredible challenge. Rush set a standard that will never be matched. Neil's passing has left a huge void, but his legacy will continue to inspire present and future generations. RIP Professor.

I would love so much to be at a show like this in Brazil. The audience is like nothing I've ever seen, they are so into it. It's amazimg

I have appreciated Mr. Peart for decades. I still cant believe he is Xanadu. You and Rush have been a beacon for many a youth for many moons. Every time I listen to Rush, I am 18 again. I'm 57.

The man wasnt from this earth just beautiful

No offense to all the great drummers out there, but Neil was just simply on another level. So smooth playing the hardest drum riffs on a regular basis night in and out. A damn master of control and power...I mean, it's just outstanding. Thank you Neil.

The energy of The Brazilian people is Very beautiful!!!

Simply put the greatest band of all time. My admiration for Neil Peart is beyond imagine, rip old friend enjoy your reunion with wife and daughter in everlasting happiness

Going on KZfaq to watch a rush video can be like a drunk going to a bar. 3 hours will pass- and the drunk is still at the bar..and you’re watching the 5th live different version of la villa Strangatto

All planetary rhythm spouts from the fountain of Peart.

Peart is very technical. I've listened to several of his interviews on KZfaq and he just blows my mind

the best built up solo the world has ever seen . perfect

the best band ever,, the best drummer ever,, rush forever!!!!

Thanks for the memories Neil!!!

The Rush in Rio dvd proves that crowds CAN sing instrumentals

1 of the best 3 musicians ever to grace the stage! Your fans will definitely miss your presence Neil! May peace and comfort come to the Peart family, and Neil's friends during this difficult time.

Neil Peart is undispudedy the best composer of percussion in rock history . Nobody even comes close . As for as " best drummer" , that title is subjective. As far as that goes, Neil Peart , Jon Bonhan , and many others are so good that us mortals really can't rate them . RIP Mr. Peart. I consider him the best musician to ever hold a drumstick. Prove me wrong.

We must all return this garment we borrowed back to earth but our spirit never dies right now i can here Neil bangin away l don’t want to work i just want to bang on the drum all day Thanks Neil for the pleasure of seeing you and Getty and Alex 3 times. Condolences to wife and children and of course to Alex and Getty.

Hes the only drummer Ive ever seen not miss one beat. He is a genius

Rest in peace Neil. I can't believe you are gone. I will always remember my days after school in my bedroom on my drum kit with my headphones on playing to la villa strangiato and wishing my drum kit was bigger.

Neil era constante, uma bateria infinita na marcação da música.

I hope Neil knew how much everyone loved and appreciated him and his skills.

Watching this, I don't understand how anyone could dislike these guys.

Heartfelt condolences from all of us Indian (East) percussionists. Have been huge fans of Neil, Geddy and Alex since the 1970s.

I first heard Rush in 1983, from a cassette, that was the moment I fell in love with the band, especially when I heard and saw the phenomenal Neil Peart's skill of drumming. My late fiancee, a rock drummer, was also a fan of Peart. I was in a deep shocked when I read the news about Peart passed away. I cried hard, it hurts, I know nobody will ever play drum like Peart in this world, he was the greatest, the one and only. The date of Neil Peart's death was in the same date of my beloved late fiancee's birthday, January 7th. What a coincident. Rest easy and Rock in Peace, Neil Peart and Arry Yanuar. I believe you two having fun playing drum together in heaven. Farewell to two humble genius gentlemen that I adore much. Your legacies will remains.😔💔⚘💙

While Alex and Geddy are the utmost in professionalism, it was Neil that took them to a completely different level. He is still,(in my own opinion) the first and only drummer to make percussion an instrument. He took the art to an entirely new level. God bless you Neil, I pray that you are swallowed by a sea of family love.

This tune evokes alot of emotion, the whole Hemispheres album blows my mind. I've heard interviews with Geddy and he mentions how much of a challenge recording the whole album was because of the complexity of the music.

This song is so very deep and heady. No other band could write songs so excellent. A true once in a lifetime trio that will go down in the history books as untouchable. 🌹✌🙏😌

So shocked he has just passed, I am currently halfway through one of his books, truly one of the best.

Three of the greatest rock musicians that has ever lived. Each one is a maestro. And they don't need sheet music.

I'm not sure a band has ever worked together better than this.

Best audience ever

This song never fails me. The jazz swing part still murders everything.

Gonna miss these guys!!

I was there! Amazing, wonderful and unforgetable!

there will never be another trio like them....

I, Myself as a Lifelong,FAN of these three gentlemen,I can't believe that there are 57 dislikes about this Video! Oh Well, it's their loss! Meanwhile the rest of us that have LOVED ❤️ Them our Entire lives are proud to proclaim our undying love and Ultimate, Respect for This cultural, Global Phenomenon Quite Simply Called RUSH!!!🤙🤘👍

RIP legend 😢

Metronomes used Neil Peart as a reference.

Try listening to only Neil peart's performance here. Absolutely brilliant!

I absolutely love the crowd participation yyz is lit also ❤️🤘

I've never been to RIO, but I love them already!!

We are only immortal for a limited time - Rest In Peace Neil Peart

oh my God you boys are so missed! R i p Neil Peart we'll Always Love You! You boys for poetry in motion Angels word on a frequency! Can't wait to listen to you the afterlife! Going to be a hell of a show! You all have beautiful hearts God bless wwg1wga! Goodbye my friends.

Wow, haven't heard this in years! I'm glad I was a teen through the 70's! I learned this whole album on my dad's 1960 Fender Jazz. Brings back great memories...glad I had the opportunity to see these guys live a couple of times! Musical artists in the trust sense of the word! We'll miss you Neil!

I was there... cried like a baby. I saw many grown man crying too.

I love the lyrics.

I've only just found out 😥 cant believe it. Lucky enough to see Rush twice, what a loss, gutted.

I honestly hate watching live shows of Rush because I know I'll never be able to see them in their full glory. A year and a day, rip Neil.

Eu nunca vi uma Banda tocar tão bem ao vivo, Rush é fantástico.

rush songs always beckons me to listen ,for the messages in the songs are ahead of their time ; there is nothing tantamount to this group. Now Neil you have exited from one realm and now will enter another . well done while you were hear Neil " thanks for stopping by , it was an amazing and absolute master performance. Now rip the cosmos in half , they have been waiting........

You know you're a great band when the audience is singing along with an instrumental!

That right to left roll,one of my favourite Peart drumming songs

o cara era uma verdadeira maquina das baquetas... tecnica, força, ritmo, vai ser dificil alguem chegar perto do talento do neil hein

Farewell Neil, thank you for everything and all the inspiration. (Oh man 2020 needs something good to happen it soon.)

One thing to cover a drummer another thing to write and orchestrate this music like Sire Peart. That's his greatness to me is to feel, organize and play these rhythms.

Everytime I listen to this, I cannot believe what I'm hearing. How do you come up with something like that? Neil was a master at his craft that overshadowed 2 other masters. This band is certainly one of the best of all times. Godspeed Neil.

A VERY SAD DAY FOR ME AND ALL RUSH FANS...RIP NEAL

I think my head just exploded. Incredible.

The greatest drummer, friend and song writer

Such a talented musician. You gave the world your talent and shared your love spirit and life of music. Happy to see Neil take the time after all those years of touring to explore the person he is just not the world famous drummer. To often people only focus on what you do rather than who you are. Enjoy being able to be yourself without the nonsense of the fanfare!!! Love and Respect

RIP Neil, you were an amazing drummer. Gone too soon.

Now the greatest living drummer has passed away. Who is the greatest living drummer? There was nobody the sane as Neil Peart I feel privileged to have seen him perform live.

We lose many great musicians these days, who would have thought such stuff back then would still be played when we and they were in their 60's and 70's. We knew they were true greats, fantastic musicians, the Elite. Neil was a bloke of the highest order. a master musician. RIP pal, and many condolences to all family and friends. What a star Neil will always be.

This 3 man Band is perfection not just there Albums but live, the technical part of this music is just GENIUS ! Unreal and beautiful, Best in the world. I could cry when I hear this break out by the electric guitar by Lifeson and Peart and Lee, all Genius

Alex weilding the weapon of eardrums destruction, Neil Making sure you get to feel it and Geddy pointing out that he got your Bass cover! simply brillant!
