The ability to separate hands & feet is insane.

Hey, I’m Southern too….Southern Ontario, Canada, and don’t worry, it was decades before I knew the proper way to pronounce it. I never really appreciated Rush in my youth but my appreciation grows greatly as I age. The same thing applies to a lot of other musicians that I would have ignored or rolled my eyes at in my youth.

This solo by Neal proves that he was definitely not of this world. There’s another solo that I think was in Frankfurt Germany that is a must watch for anyone who loves Neal.

Sadly, 11 days after this show, his daughter was killed in a car accident and that led to the passing of his first wife and child. The band would be shocked and dormant for 5 years while he dealt with the loss.

I was at this show. It was incredible. And so were they, every single time I saw them.

we don't mind the stopping with your enthusiasm for this incredible performer. and as many times as we see his playing we still just get drawn in and mesmerized just focusing him.

Thank you for doing this. My depression has been really bad this week and a good dose of the Professor, the Wizard (Alex) & the Maestro (Geddy) is just what the doctor ordered. I love your commentary on it and usually when people interrupt a video so often it really bothers me - but NOT when you do it. As a non musician I appreciate all of your insights. Thank you for being so AMAZING. And also I see you're at 14.9k subscribers so I would like to be the first one to congratulate you in advance on hitting 15K !

I was at this concert. They were on fire all night..

You have to watch Neil’s drum solo from Frankfurt you’d love it.

The solo is even better in Where's My Thing / Here It Is

Love your reaction being a drummer for many years myself I can appreciate your input on this,Best rock drummer ever imo… R.I.P. PROFESSOR

the power of the sound scene live is unbelievable it is so powerful you feel it rocking you.

Wooooooo !!!! 15K Subscribers !!! Congrats !!! 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉

I was just enjoying, and boppin' along with the beat, and then at 2:43, the added effect kicked in, and my ears "perked" up. I don't know what you call that, but I always think of it as "coffee perking," as in the OLD days, out camping, and the morning "joe" starts bubbling, you know? My dad used to make the BEST camp coffee, and when I hear that effect, it always reminds me of those days. This is fantastic! I have nothing but DEEP admiration for you drummers!! I ALWAYS think of the drums being melodic! For me, if the drums AREN'T melodic, I'm usually going to abandon ship pretty darn soon! At 10:40, OH, MY GOSH! I didn't think the smile on my face could have gotten any bigger, but...WHOOOO!!! I had been watching the concentration on his face just before that. WOW!!! At 12:26, the added little "conversation piece" dropping in just tickled me pink! 13:38 when you gave the info about the electronic part kicking in. YES! SO GOOD!!! Then the little inserts of the dancers. Don't you EVER apologize about "breaking in" on something like this! Your input is totally invaluable on stuff like this. Throughout this part, I'm finding myself typing to that perfect, rhythm, that just.......pulls you in. When he goes back to the acoustic, and then SPEEDS UP, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD...!!! I'll tell you what, who in the heck NEEDS electronic stuff? WOW!!! Then he took us to the jungle! (Not to mention a little more bubbling coffee!) THEN THAT FINALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHILLS through the whole thing. Thank you VERY much...ESPECIALLY for all of the little bits of input you added, regarding his artistry. Just Fantastic, all the way around. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! 🤪😯😲😵‍💫🤗🥰🥰🥰

RUSH usually played about 3 hour shows often a little more., they take a short break in the middle

Damn Great 👍!! RIP Neil 😢 Awsome solo!! 😮😮😮😮😊😢

LOL Interesting and awesome!

I was a freshman and was a school band drummer in 1982 when I saw my first concert, Rush. My life forever changed that night. I was lucky enough to see them live another 14 times through the years.👍

Peart, Rich, Bonham. The all-time GOATs.

Great reaction! It’s nice to watch a reactor who knows what he’s talking about musically.

You need to check out YYZ live in Rio. It is absolutely off the charts!

You said it - it's a blessing just to be able to watch them!! They were my first concert back in 1981. I was 13 and had no idea who they were. I just wanted to party. And party I did. This was back when smoking cigs was allowed everywhere, and the devil's lettuce was all over the place too. I was tokin with people that would be in jail if they passed a 13 year old that stuff today. It didn't stop the whole show. It seems that someone would light up and just pass it down the row. And then someone else would do the same. Front to back, side to side.... Whao, I was toasted. Sadly, the thing I remembered the most from the show was how nice everybody around me was. No one tried to kidn*ap or r*pe me - that wasn't even a thought back then. I had a great time and Rush gained a fan for life. I went out and had to buy an album to see what I missed from the show. 🤣🤣 I think I bought Hemispheres first, and then some time later, (after I hoarded my lunch money for a while), I bought Moving Pictures. Still, my fav album from them. Rock on, brother. Love hearing your technical expertise on these three amazing musicians! 🤘🤘

I was lucky enough to attend this particular show.

Another fine instrumental with a short drum solo is Where's my thing? Here it is! from their 2013 Clockwork Angels tour.

Gettys special sound comes from pulling the strings up with his fingernails and letting slap down on the frets

This is not a live video. I'm very familiar with nor the tour. As by the 90s, my tastes and rush had separated to a degree that I wasn't buying their albums. The second they came out. However, I still love them and saw them on this very tour is a matter of fact period anyway, Neil is freshly back from his lessons with Freddie Gruber. Which accounts for the dominance of his? Articulation and utilizing traditional grip, more than he had ever in the fluidity of his plane has taken on a bit of a round circular nature by his own definition, as in he stopped, thinking about notes as linear and a row and more about how they relate to each other kind of in an orbit. Which is a cool way to look at timing. Actually anyway, cool reaction, man Cheers.

his snare rudiments and traditional grip use was the strongest i ever saw from him in this solo- buddy rich would have played it off but he would have RESPECT at this performance - i dont know if it was age or physical but his left hand(traditional grip) wasnt as strong in the later years _ no haters please-neil is my favorite drummer ( tied with buddy rich) - i am not criticizing him - ive payed alot of attention to his drumming through the years and i know he took some hate from the jazz players when he started to indulge in that style

Amazing, to say the least. I’m sure Neil would prefer everyone watching this solo instead of Frankfurt - he was sick during the Germany show. While he uses many common elements, I like the way he plays some of them in this solo better. I love the “Cotton Tail” finale from Frankfurt, but man he is just on fire in this performance.

This was Neil at his max/peak. I love this solo better than Frankfurt. But Frankfurt is to be revered because who else could do the Frankfurt solo st age 61?

Don't forget Asian rhythms in there! Listen to Territories (1988 version) live to see the entire band change and adapt their sound.

In my worthless opinion I enjoy this solo more than Frankfurt.

LOVE :) “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” ~ Romans 15:13

The Drum Also Waltzes....

Than why don't u call him the G.O.A.T WHO IT BETTER???????

I miss those live Rush shows. What incredible memories.
