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.

Yeah I've heard a similar interview with Alex talking about the difficulty of this song the live version, which is the best version by the way. You have to bear in mind, these guys are much older than Alex and Getty and Neil were when they first recorded it, I can attest being an older guy who used being production it was a full-on musician and producer. When you get older it's like the instrument is more nuanced it's easier to play... I fly through Rush stuff with ease with stuff that used to break my brain when I was a kid... They did an all right job with this one
