Freekin awesome band and Rocky’s voice is perfect. I thought I was listening to Rush in 1976. 👍☮️🇨🇦

[@brianschwager2358]

[@nickgironda8932]

HOLY CRAP!!!! YOU ARE FANTASTIC 🙏👍❤️🙏❤️👍😘😃 I lost it when you played “at the bridge” then when you went into “Xanadu” SHIT!!!! KEEP ROCKIN…

I know, right! One from the vault!!

[@ElieserLima]

Amazing!!!

[@andrewyoung311]

Superb

[@glenntallwhiteman]

Rocky, Love you and all the effort that you have put into your career! Mood Lifters, you're up and coming. Your sound is becoming distinguishable. As you probably already know, that compliment is not an easy one to earn!

[@omicron2018]

"No One At The Bridge" was sublime!

[@PhillAndersonGuitarist]

Wow, I can't believe they played Marathon. I love that song so much. I swear, Rocky is the perfect choice to sing Rush covers.

[@glenntallwhiteman]

Your bassist always seems to be having a great time! Rock on, bro!

[@tomcorley238]

Oh dam!!!! Rocky on Finding My Way !! AWESOME !!! The entire Band is tight & I had you all turned up on the KZbin & Klipsch Sound system with Subwoofer tonight. Got to get a chance to see you all live together ! Chicago awaits you :-)

[@kennelson5611]

Great job guys!! Rocky your awesome as usual

[@RobertoFiammata]

Incredible!

[@rrrrrrtt1]

nicely presented!

[@brentcollins9727]

That was incredible!!! I’ve never heard that Bridge song so I’m about to listen to it again. Thank you for sharing!

[@jasonlacroix6083]

That was from the album the record company hated. But, the fans love it. It's one of my favorites, I find the stuff that doesn't get radio airplay is better than what does.

[@361metal]

lots of levels of talent!

[@Lyngholm67]

This band has really improved and plays very well. A little desagrement at the end of Tom Sawyer, but they kept it sow good together. Love it..!

[@thegospelpeacemakersforum7805]

Rocky is singing with real force and grit. When she sings in this way she gives Patti PerShayla a real run for her money.

[@glenntallwhiteman]

After Tom Sawyer, your band did an absolute phenomenal job! 180 degrees salute on my part! You guys are what a Rush cover band is all about! Do not stop what you do.

[@gtralive-2025]

Killer FX3 film like footage & Bokeh! Appreciate ya!🎸🎸🤩😍

[@antera77]

Thanks -- LOL sometimes too much bokeh in frames where there are both guitarist and singer, and the FX3's usually excellent autofocus chooses the wrong one! Usually it picks the right one when subjects are at significantly different distances from camera, and gives that cool depth-of-field look. I pretty much had this effect at maximum: shooting wide open fixed f/4.0 with this lens, for minimum noise. I'm still somewhat new at this--I'll experiment with setting it to automatic iris.

well as i keep watching.....theres not much to say wrong...vocals....holy crap!. but the the whole band...amazing. gonna start looking to catch SHOW. you all are bad azz!

[@vincenttayelrand]

'No one at the bridge' was an interesting choice - and well done. One of the Rush songs that was ignored for decades and that for some reason (maybe because it is excellent?) is now back in favor.

[@andyharman3022]

No One At The Bridge was my favorite song off of Caress Of Steel, but since it was buried in Fountain Of Lamneth, it was destined to be a deep track forever. I was searching for a standalone version of it on KZbin, and that's how I discovered Rocky and YYNOT. Rocky owns the early Rush vocals as the best female stand-in for G Lee. It's great how she has joined Mood Lifters. They're awesome.

[@mikethomson4290]

Great vocals

[@donsharp2978]

Ive spent an absurd amount of money on concerts by some of the biggest bands like U2, Coldplay, Michael Jackson. The Mood Lifters concert was as good as any of these for sheer entertainment value and top quality musicianship. Too good!!

[@kennelson5611]

Great guitar work on marathon

[@tednugent1351]

So happy I can hear Rocky so much better here!!!

[@MoodLiftersRushTribute]

We'll release a soundboard version of this show (in video) down the line too!

[@PhillAndersonGuitarist]

​@@MoodLiftersRushTribute I sweat, Rocky is the perfect choice to sing Rush covers.

I know right? One of my many favorite Rush tunes. Best band on earth and these guys do em justice.

[@devmag52]

Do you guys cover Panacea? I love that one.

[@donaldcampbell9219]

It’s so refreshing to see Tom Sawyer played correctly with those odd chords I think are a D and a C. Most people get them wrong.

They can’t all be Neil, to be fair.

This is The Whisky's house drum kit - all bands playing there - except for a few big names - are required to use it. It sounded great nonetheless.

Why would Rocky leave YYNOT to sing in a lesser tribute band? I got to know.

[@gestet]

@@Robdoeme69 Would your new band Moodlifters ever consider going north of the border into Canada? Specifically Ontario, Canada that is considered the hotbed & roots of OG Rush fans, the majority of which are baby boomers craving your dedication & passion to illiciting Geddy's vocal range through every "Rush era"? I mean as Geddy's voice register changes through the years as evidenced in every Rush record, you my dear clearly match his changes to the point that I close my eyes & listen & hear Geddy's spirit leaping out of the speakers into my ears & my brain says....WOW! That's the best Geddy Lee imitation this lifelong Rush fan has ever heard. Southern Ontario from Toronto all the way around the Golden Horseshoe to Fort Erie & all points in between deserve Rocky Kuner & The Moodlifters!!! Make it so & there's even a chance that Geddy & Alex could slip in to a random venue that you play here incognito to soak in the experience!

[@Robdoeme69]

It would be an honor ❤ to play in Canada with this band.
