many thanks to Neil. He is one of the few who really brought drumming to new levels, inspiring kids to do so much more with the kit than just time-keeping.

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

If Geddy and Alex were actually to reform Rush, the only like-aged drummer whom I think could begin to fill the void that Neil left behind is The Police's Stuart Copeland -- no one else that I can think of comes anywhere close

[@Void-Knull]

@@shruggzdastr8-facedclown they shouldn't “reform”, but instead start an entirely separate musical project with Copeland. I will always regret not seeing a live Rush show, but seeing those three playing together would certainly be the next best thing.

[@gallienus172]

He was and always will be one of the greatest. As skilled with words as he was with the sticks he will be missed. He left but as long as his recording and videos motivate existing drummers and inspire new drummer to pick up drum sticks he will never be gone.

The eye contact between Neal and the Bass player❤

[@yournamehere9024]

must have been tremendous pressure for the bassist, kudos to him for having the nerve to do it, seems Neil was gracious about it :) , I wonder if this was before or after Neil decided to change his method and relearn, what an artist he was :)

[@doopum1]

The bassist is Jeff Berlin, and he probably could play this song in his sleep. This was before Neil switched or at least he's not playing traditional grip in this. I don't think he ever played songs in traditional grip if he wrote them originally and matched grip.

[@bicivelo]

Wow. Took me a second to wrap my brain around this! Amazing

Incredible to hear YYZ as a jazz song. Just wild to hear the GOAT of drummers.

[@vladpadowicz5946]

WHAAAAAT??!!!! So freakin cool!!! That soprano sax is sweet!!! Now I have to see the full show! I played bari sax in my high-school jazz band in Montréal in the mid to late 70s, and we were really good... Not to mention huge RUSH fans. Our repertoire consisted mainly of Maynard Ferguson arrangements and we practiced with the records until we had the tunes down. Our teacher, Robert Jodoin, invited Buddy Rich to do a show with his band and we got to meet and talk to him and the other pros after the show. For aspiring dedicated teens it was intense!!
