Neil Peart - Momo's Dance Party (1997)

[@johnfutrell8461]

I LOVE driving to this and Pieces of Eight!! I may shed a little tear thinking about getting, "Pieces" on Modern Drummer's Sound Supplement, and missing Neil. Was blessed enough to see my Drumming Inspiration and Rush 15 times!🥁🥁🥁

[@davielikesrush]

Even now the Professor can still bring me joy 🎉❤❤ what a man !!

[@DRUmBEaTTS]

For somebody that only took piano lessons for a short period of time he had a great sense of melody and harmony.

[@Iam-still-noone]

😱 Mr Neil will always b a genius percussionist an forever the Professor - this sounded like a orchestra not just 1 guy - 🌹🥁🌹

[@stevestruthers6180]

Interesting. Never knew (until now) that Neil had ever done anything like this. There's something reminiscent of Stewart Copeland's drumming style in this piece.

[@michaelwerbick]

One of a few who could/can play like this. Neil, Stewart, Phil and Buddie

[@paulcaruana4090]

Heard this many times after Rush shows when they tearing down stage. Would sit and wait for crowd to dissipate

[@ClatorButler]

Been my ringtone for years starting at 0:35

[@01Spacemanspiff]

I love that part too!

[@joel9873]

Mine is Anthem

[@davebasch5995]

Mine is the orchestra bell part from "Closer to the Heart"

[@jenbarber5643]

Thank You!!! I seriously began to think I'd lost my mind!! IT EXISTS!...AND IT. IS. GLORIOUS!! 🥰

[@fennyellis3366]

Thanks Jen

[@maziu27]

This is really interesting! Rest in peace Neil

[@01Spacemanspiff]

I used to play the closing credits of the instructional video just to hear this!

[@mjm5081]

🙏❤🌹 Neil 🌹❤🙏

[@jumbyrocks]

I wish that this and “pieces of eight” were included on a Rush album.

[@AnubisXII]

Wow. I've never heard this. I've heard the parts he's incorporated into his drum solos. But not this.

[@J.R.Psych74]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEIL!!!

[@maucastillo3940]

This would fit perfectly in a Crash Bandicoot game

[@RichardBist]

I haven’t hear this before…thanks for sharing it!

[@art31david]

Hello! I downloaded this and have started transcribing it like I did with "Piece Of Eight." :)

[@vanlifeson6773]

Me too. Thanks for the video. I loved this in all the concerts but its so cool to hear it all together. Makes me miss Neil.

[@jenbarber5643]

Oh, Thank You 💕 soothes my soul

[@adaomatos6765]

Beautiful

[@MatthewClise]

Thanks for uploading this. It sounds great (at least as far as I can tell on my dinky phone speaker). Between this and Pieces of Eight, I wonder what other compositions the professor had kicking around.

[@synthguy7774]

Sounds like a film score.

[@dorian2112]

sad hearing this because of the end credits while this is playing. the very moving picture.

[@brunovallesmunoz4757]

David Wise - DKC vibes RIP Maestro Neil

[@renatosantos3]

*MASTERPIECE!* 💎💎💎

[@Evetsocrate]

Wow, this sounds a lot like the instrumental by A Flock of Seagulls called "The Light at the End of the World"! Great stuff.

[@James-xu3vc]

African style, for sure. ❤

[@funkydozer]

I was getting more of a chinese vibe

[@lindapryor3747]

Love this!

[@dorian2112]

@2:37 we now know where reggaeton got their main "strong and simple beat." RiP Pratt.

[@oliveriosacks5888]

capooooooooooooooooo

[@jasonlefler3456]

Thank you very much for the upload! Do you by chance know in what month of 1997 this was released?

[@brihar73]

No, sorry.

[@jasonlefler3456]

Brian H No worries!

[@robryani]

Quick Google search says it was released in October of 1997, but recorded in January-March of 1996. :)

[@adrianbiankin]

This was probably recorded in the late 80s/early 90s and released with “A work in progress” in 1997

[@SaltyReels]

Is there a live recording of this?

[@Dustin2112]

Peart only included portions of this as well as Pieces of Eight into his tour solos. It was never performed in totality.
