Rush Losing It 2015 Newark Live R40 Tour with Jonathan Dinklage

[@dannyc9784]

Thanks for Posting brother! I was in the audience, and I still "lose it" every time I hear it.

[@adamflake3276]

I may have never met you Neil, but as someone who took nearly all of his drumming influence from you, I miss you so much. I hope you have found peace in whatever life there is after this one, if there is one. And if there is, I hope your wife and daughter met you as you finished your journey here. You left a everlasting impact on so many people, including me. The world is better for having known you.

[@stevedrums1675]

this was the best performance of this song I had heard on this tour by a long-shot.

[@tz125r]

This is beyond words and so emotional for me personally. RIP the worlds greatest drummer.

[@brianshaffneraclc]

Dinklage is apparently a life long fan, and while he was a part of the string ensemble on the CA tour, confessed to the guys it was his dream to play this one on stage with them. They decided to make it come true for him when they played out in his home turf. Classy gesture, typical of them. RIP Neil.

I was at Lakeside Park yesterday near where Neil grew up. They have a Neil Peart Pavillion. Soon there will be a statue of Neil there.

This song cuts me to the core..brings chills each time i listen to it..and cuts even deeper, with the passing of NP. Neil understood what was important in life, observed life, interpersonal dynamics and poetically drafted nearly all of the rush song lyrics with such emotion..not only a great percussionist/drummer, but a philosopher, poet and philanthropist. I'm sure he would shy away from those additional titles..but that's what made him Neil and so special. He was truer than true and oh so humble. If he only knew the magnitude of his touch on thousands like me. R.I.P. sailor, wherever your ship may take you! :-)

[@jmgreenf]

Jonathan Dinklage is one hell of a violinist, I must add. He's the brother of Peter Dinklage of "Game of Thrones" fame, for those who did not know.

[@MsCygnusX1]

I can't imagine the amazing privilege to be a 4th member on stage with them, if even for just one song. For me- this song wrought together so much intensity and fragility unlike any other I've ever heard before. A couple of others come close, but this one blows them away.

[@robertpinazza4043]

Or as Jonathan put it in Cinema Strangiato yesterday, " I replied to them with an emphatic YES!!! " . Ms Cygnus X1, I totally concur with you.

[@TheStuntmanSteve]

I'm gonna call it. Dinklage absolutely nailed it. So much control and intensity. Honestly, I thought his was better than Mink's performance on the DVD.

[@hermanhelmich]

TheStuntmanSteve I agree completely. The dvd was kind of a bummer

[@Astrosimi]

You're absolutely goddamn right. I can't speak for why Mink played it how he chose to, but as far as Dinklage - there is a kind of reverence and energy that a fan, rather than the original musician, can bring to a piece. You're on stage, playing with your heroes, and all you can think is doing as much justice as you can to the original. And he absolutely fucking did. Bravo.

[@rollergoalie16]

Couldn't agree more. No slight to Mink as his recorded performance on Signals still gives me goosebumps. I've been saying the same thing ever since I saw live videos surface on KZbin of Dinklage's and Mink's performance(s), Dinklage absolutely killed. The squeal at 4:30 is spot on and chilling.

[@adventurewithacamera]

As a comparison Dinklage played with emotion and passion, Mink played the notes.

[@dannyc9784]

Agreed, MUCH better, I feel so blessed to have seen this live. I was freaking out when Peter came out on stage and Geddy said they were playing my favorite song. Not a dry eye in the audience :)

[@adventurewithacamera]

1-10-2020. Rest In Peace, Neil. Greatest ever, none better. Thank you, Professor.

[@franktilelli3581]

I was there at MSG that night and as a lifelong Rush fanatic I can honestly say that was the best concert moment I ever experienced from them during that solo section there was an electricity in that room it was indescribable I we'll never forget it

[@albertosampietro4953]

I felt that just looking the video, Rush GOAT

[@steadyrhythms9571]

The most emotional song I know.

[@25newrush]

The Garden and Losing it are the emotional ones for me

[@GaryJibilian]

My favorite RUSH song, as far as how I live my life, and appreciate it! Don't take your life for granted, especially, if you're still able to work your craft, no matter what it is. Makes me realize my mortality, and RUSH are predicting their future with this song, knowing that they will also be one of the characters in this tune... not being able to perform like they used to, and know they will have to retire, and reflect upon their past... in a good way. "Sadder still to watch it die Than never to have known it." They lived it!!!

[@tonyd6884]

Gary Jibilian yeah you got it all I can say hoooooly fuck dude those guys have got to feel the effects of that piece

[@johnsandlin7474]

Brought tears to my eyes

[@rexahdar4199]

Stunning. One of Rush's most underrated songs.... a masterpiece

[@brendangilmore4297]

I agree. Probably my favorite Rush track - also one of the most difficult to play with those odd time signatures ;)

[@brucesmith9144]

Thanks for sharing this video of what was a very special night. Flew in from my then-home in Taiwan just for the Newark show and this song was the crown jewel of that evening. 32 hours of roundtrip flying well worth it!

[@jamesrobinson774]

Great clip my friend. Geddy nailed the vocals on this one and these are some of Pearts best lyrics.

[@robphelps5001]

James Robinson The references to Papa Hemingway in the second verse are chilling...

[@RoarOfWolverine]

Damn! Dinklage was really tearing it up on that violin! What an amazing, powerful and emotional instrumentation. Dinkliage deserve to be on that stage with those master musician and we all know there are not many musicians who can step on stage with those three gods of rock, but Dinklage’s solo was fucking amazing and he matches up to the same talent on his instrument. The bridge in this song was always great, but Dinklage just stole the show with that bridge.

[@gibletgravy3099]

Everything about this song is awesome. Lyrics, keyboards, guitar, violin! Perfect.

[@ChrisDragotta]

Jonathan was one of my roomates in college. Proud of ya!

[@petersmith4518]

Thanks for the video. My favorite Rush song. Goose bumps x100. Beautiful 😍🎸

[@redbarchetta20]

I was at this show. I still can’t believe we got this song, along with How It Is and The Camera Eye.

[@liquidsteel8131]

Simply amazing. I'm all teary eyed. RIP Neil.

[@isaacmartin874]

I love the tone of that violin

[@joebagodonuts3040]

The studio version is so clean and tasty 😋 - there’s a reason why they don’t do it live !!! Intense nevertheless - the best musicians on the planet hands down.... we were blessed to see them perform all these years. The next generations have no idea what they’ve missed!

[@Venturanu]

sadder still to watch it die then never to have known it

[@pryt86]

It was such an amazing show

[@redfishradical]

Wow.... Just wow... Saw them many times but never lucky enough to catch this song!! I like this version with Dinklage better than the one with the originator that's also posted (but that's STILL a fantastic piece!). Thanks so much for sharing brother!

[@richardpepin5107]

peter dinklages brother on violin

[@PhilRounds]

The violin sounds good with this!

[@dorian2112]

killled it on the violin.

[@centerreps6773]

Thanks for post. I really enjoyed it.

[@ccserfas4629]

Super great capture of super great entertainment.

[@Saints2919]

Emotional

[@TheRebuilt1]

how is this musical perfection classified as Comedy?

[@rayminthecat]

The wrighter stairs with glassy eyes

[@randalltschetter1305]

Nice sound! What did you use to record it?

[@scottykirkland190]

I like version better than the studio version

[@georgesabol459]

If they had only added a tuba or accordion they might have went places.

[@hermanhelmich]

George Sabol hahaha LOL

[@MrJampot64]

There are Swiss Watches. Then there is Neil Peart. R.I.P

[@albertosampietro4953]

This Is what I call real prog music, in crescendo. A curiosity, from this angle, the drum set looks like a pile of scrap metal and Neil Is hidden behind it

[@pryzmcat]

eeeeyup:)

[@dontsniffhobos7637]

i know him

[@horatiohornblower170]

Is it me or was Neil a bit off?

[@jah9253]

It's you.

[@christianjett6435]

No I agree with Horatio, Neil leaves alot off compared to the studio version

[@johnconneally]

Christian Jett you got to also remember this was one of the first times they played it live

[@chokfm]

Absolutely amasing takes for this unique awsome performance.The vocals, the violins, all the emotions is in. Tears in your eyes Thank you so much .
