Met him holding his new daughter at a grocery store in Santa Monica, CA. Always thought of him in magical Canadian woods, so it was rather surreal. Started playing drums at eight around the time Moving Pictures was released and loved his writing too. He was/is an amazing Soul/Intellect w much Heart. Feel your pain.

Respect to Les and Primus for even attempting this. Not only is this an extremely difficult song to play, all that is involved in playing it is another story.... then to throw your vocals out there in some kind of attempt to sing somewhere close to Geddy Lee is fantastic! They did a fantastic job. Thank you for posting. I'm a long time Rush fan, I play the bass... and needless to say... really miss Rush.

I know I sure couldn't have done as good an attempt! The drummer actually nailed Neil's style pretty close! My uncle was a manager of polygram records canada back in the day! While I never had a chance to meet the band I sure wanted too!

Aside from the fact that this is an excellent rendition of a classic Rush tune, has anyone noticed that they are using almost the same exact equipment as Rush in order to re-create this awesome song? It's not like a glockenspiel and bell chimes are part of every drummer's arsenal of percussive instruments. Not-to-mention a Rickenbacker double-neck Guitar/Bass combo.

I'll never forget the night they opened for Rush in '92 at the Seattle Coliseum. I was sort of familiar with Primus as most of my friends were diehards, but that night I 'got' them in their totality. Clearly, Primus was not just another opener of tours, as I suppose Rush once was to Kiss. Primus was a group cut from the same cloth. One highlight which stands out was when they for no particular reason decided to cover 'Master Of Puppets'.

@@DrMackSplackem That reminds me of when my wife and I went to see Rush for the Roll The Bones tour and Primus was the opening act. That was probably around 1992, now that you mention it. Now I’m older than you and had been following Rush as my favorite band since 1976, so I wasn’t familiar with Primus at all, I was there to see Rush mainly. There were a group of teens that were sitting behind us all wearing Primus T- shirts,so they must have been huge Primus fans, which is cool, except the idiots got up and left the arena right after Primus was done!!? They certainly missed a great show. I can’t imagine that even if I wasn’t familiar with the opening act, I’d stay just to get my ticket price worth. I mean Primus is good and all that, but we’re talking about the holy trinity of prog/rock here. Damn what a bunch of knuckleheads. I have wondered since then if any of those kids became more familiar with Rush and regret now walking out on the best part of the show?

@@RoarOfWolverine Yeah that was the album and my second Rush tour. You have to remember that those kids were probably as rabid about Primus as we were about Rush, which they probably hadn't had much exposure to (and who knows, they may have had a curfew or something). Also, there are some bands that I would laugh about from MTV or whatever, only to be totally blown away by their live act. So in that sense, those kids were missing something by leaving early all right, but they might not have been ready for it just yet. It's nice to see that a band which was that good and that weird was also persistent enough to become widely accepted. It's actually kind of hip to be into Rush now, and you don't even have to play an instrument.

WOW. For those of you that don't remember how these 3 got together? Les and Larry were interviewing drummers after letting Curveball go, (who's floor I was crashing on at the time, thanks, Curveball, you got me through a tough time financially! 🙂) Tim Alexander came along and they began jamming Rush songs, which coincidently, they all knew note for note. I've been trying to learn how to play Rush songs on drums since I first started trying to play drums, learning every note on Moving Pictures.... or TRYING anyway...(that's how OLD I am, Moving Pictures had just come out. A masterpiece in production at the time and STILL, and an inspiration for me to become an audio engineer, and yes, I engineered Primus' first 2 tours and was their live guy for 3.5 years.) For anybody who has also tried, you know, it's HARD!!!!! So for these three to get through the entire 2112 album, UNREHEARSED, NOTE FOR NOTE together, was an amazing feat, and Les looked at Larry and said something to the effect of "This is the guy" though I wasn't there for that moment. The rest as ya'll know, was history. So for me, just now seeing this warms my heart. Full circle. If ANYone could fill the shoes of Neil Peart so Rush could go back out and do a tour, Tim Alexander is unquestionably the ONE guy who could. (hint hint if anybody in either camp is listening... I'm sure it's been suggested). Then Tim could play in both bands on the tour! Make all of us really happy, like Ecstatic! Kudos of course to Les and Larry also, I've been trying to learn how to play that song on guitar for about 30 years unsuccessfully, and bass too. Maybe because I'm a drummer, and not even a good one at that!! Lol. @ Headband Harvest: I believe it's Rancho Relaxo. I had the privilege of fishing that pond with Les once, Thanks Les! Also had the privilege of fishing Yellowstone with them boys also! Caught a huge rainbow in the Gallatin River just north of West Yellowstone after a night with the Green Ranger. Larry will know what I'm talking about. That night, we almost started the Yellowstone Fire #2 when our campfire got out of hand suddenly, spreading quickly into the grass. The water bucket in camp had holes in it and made it extremely difficult to extinguish! Leroy, (drum tech) and I carried the bucket back and forth from the river, about 20 yards away, as fast as we could before the water ran out the bottom and threw it on the flames until we were exhausted, actually floating the burning logs in the fire, and they still wouldn't go out! We finally picked them up and threw them in the river, and they tumbled down the Gallatin STILL BURNING as we watched in horror! WOW. Them were the days.... Now I do sound for reggae festivals... 🙂 Wish I would have known about this tour!

Hah!, can’t stop thinking of the girl that was stoked to get asked to go see Primus by a guy she’s been interested in (Rush is ‘hot girl repellent’, in case you are new to their work, and Xanadu of all gems, hah!!!!) Probably some of the coolest, smartest, and best people you have ever met, Rush fans, for whatever reason, are generally going to be the people who would rather watch star trek or twilight zone re-runs instead of the Oscars, Kardashians, or anything mainstream or “cool”. I was fortunate enough to see Primus open for Rush back in high school and the recent passing and life story of Neil was so truly sad, this video is heart warming as I’m sure these guys miss Rush as much as any of us.

Holy Balls! i have not ever heard any other band even try to play this song. AMAZANG! Not an easy feat. Can tell much respect for RUSH.

I only want to add a tiny bit more to the mountain that's already here: they maintained all the musicality of the original.

As both a Rush and Primus fan, I gotta say, they *nailed* this, right down the little details like the bell tree. If I didn't know this was Primus, I would swear I'm listening to the Exit Stage Left version.

1977, The Tower Theater, Philadelphia - my first concert - ticket cost me $5.50, it said Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and Rush, I thought there would be 3 bands, it was TP's debut - I was 15, we showed up in a 1971 AMC Gremlin - what a night, still my favorite Rush album. Nobody can quite pull off an Alex Lifeson solo but this is badass!🙂 Thanks for posting.

I saw Primus open for Rush in Indianapolis in the 1980’s. Never heard of them prior to that night. A story that circulated prior to the show starting, that Neil was late arriving to Market Square Arena so Herb, (Tim Alexander),got on Neil’s kit for sound check.

Very good guys. Rush (A farewell to kings) with Max Webster (High class in borrowed shoes) was one of my favourite Toronto concerts CNE August 23, 1977. This song also got me through grade 12 poetry, it was the poem Ode to Kubla Khan along with numerous other Rush classics. Cheers

My first time hearing this even though I've been a Primus fan for a long time. Now I'm pretty sure that the Primus music I've always liked is just the tip of the iceberg, and it goes a lot deeper than I imagined. Just really spectacular music.
