The Rush Tribute Band performing "Distant Early Warning" at Rosemont, IL on June 14, 2018

[@careybrace]

Best Rush outside of Rush that I've ever heard.

[@rtb300800]

Check out the Rush tribute band called "Lotus Land" you will change your mind!

[@thepoweroftruth3624]

Absolutely!!!

[@juliosanchez8263]

Check out the Sun Dogs Subdivisions and you might change your mind

[@gtralive-2025]

Sundogs

[@TheKimchipower79]

Indeed

[@alexspectre962]

That guitarist got Alex's sound perfectly!! Well done.

[@stompu]

first thing i noticed,hes spot on

[@shucksful]

Noble Failures .....lol.. yes, if only that were so. I’m STILL having trouble with the bald head. I’d even go for a Alex life son wig, at this point. Hah. But, tbh, it sure as hell wouldn’t hurt for him to move around a little bit, instead of being a virtual mannequin. C’mon! Let’s see an ARM SLASH, IR TWO, WHEN YOU YOU HIT THOSE POWER CHORDS, LIKE ALEX DID!!!!! WAKE UP, BALDY! LMAO! I mean, he’s got the perfect guitar mix!!!! Let’s....fucking.....GO!! 🎸🎸🎸

[@donakin8562]

what KIND of guitar is that?

[@JohnLloydDavis]

@@donakin8562 It looks a bit like a Carvin CS-6M California Singlecut with Floyd Rose, they don't make them anymore. I believe they're now Keisel.

[@liamwashburn234]

yeah he did!! that’s cooky

[@jaywoods6082]

Close you eyes you'd swear you were listening to Rush you guy are great come to Chicago,Please.

[@lasvegascommunitynewswatch1632]

The best rush trubit band ever...these guys kick a$$

[@hermanhelmich]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ_Hk6yFqbKFl7Msi=C5GNoN9fS6jDXpms Well well well… look what the cat dragged in

[@ClayRodgers1961]

I'm a 30 year musician and Rush Fan-addict who has covered and attempted to cover many Rush songs. I've also seen many well intended tributes, please take this as a very well informed compliment - "Very nicely done gentlemen, VERY nicely done !"

[@alanarcher5954]

Here, here! We were spot on with Moving Pictures and earier, but this was the last album that we hard to play, and i love doing this song!! After that i settlers down and went to work! I was on bass, my younger brother on drums

[@edwardsteward3115]

Never been a fan of cover bands that only play one band tributes but these guys sound great. Nice job all around and vocals are damn close. The best Rush cover I have ever heard.

[@careybrace]

agreed 100% loved this

[@markdemell8056]

They did quite well! Bravo!

[@lgd1974]

Tribute bands > cover bands. Tribute bands take extra care to replicate not only the music to the best of their ability, but also of the image and aesthetic of the band being honored. I saw Brit Floyd a year ago. They were a stunning recreation of SOME of Pink Floyd's best work.

[@johnbianchi9401]

UH..DUDE,THE VOCALS ARE DAMN ,NEAR PERFECT!!

[@4everfree]

The bass player's singing voice is amazing.

[@gtamediaproductions1]

Drumming = spot on! Guitar playing and sound = spot on! Bass playing and voice of lead singer = spot on!!

[@AudiophileTubes]

Excellent lads.... truly EXCELLENT!

[@petec9686]

Damn, this is nice. Dude does a nice job on Geddy's vocals. And that is no easy feat.

[@BrendanKellegher-b3s]

Amazing please come to the UK

[@jameshicks7125]

I have to say, that if someone told me this was Rush, I would have assumed it was on one of Geddy's better vocal days. This was extremely well done.

[@johnprice6786]

That’s just amazing!!!

[@sonofkrypton-b5n]

these guys are so good they could almost write the next rush album!

[@anthonybustos8901]

That was great,,,,,,but as far as writing the next Rush album???They'd Be Lost

[@brianhealey9738]

Saw these guy back in April, They nail it

[@jadakid6942]

These guys sound fantastic.

[@JimmyBagOfDonuts]

Once again proving that Rush cover bands are better than most other bands! Thanks, that ROCKS!

[@iandickson1940]

Long Live The Mighty RUSH!!.. Fantastic Guys. Breath Life Back To Rush👍

[@jerrybrooks9870]

This is an absolutely incredible performance!

[@jakerichards2931]

Literally theeee best Rush cover I’ve seen.

[@iandickson1940]

Heard😊

[@Motocicleiros]

I am stunned with the amount of great Rush cover bands out there. I have seen so far at least four of them that are AAA+ (I only consider bands with three members). This is so great to know that those guys will be keeping live Rush alive! I wish there would be such a great band in Brasil, I'd love to watch them playing on a stage!

[@andrewanders6692]

WOE !! THIS ,..is basically ,.. Rush

[@gunnsmoke357]

No words

[@VILHELM1221]

Certainly has more meaning with the passing of the professor. Well done

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

It's all we have left now. The tribute bands now must carry on ... I wish we could find out how Alex and Geddy feel about these guys...

[@tonykaluzny2216]

Holy shit you guys are GOOD!!!!

[@kevinkilduff2064]

Super job, and the vocalist, singing, playing base and keyboards a la Geddy is spot on!! Best Rush cover band I've heard. Kudos!

[@benoitlamarre]

Just wow... make this band alive again. RIP Neil.

[@flashy5150]

Not just a tribute but "reality", great band and tribute.

[@zetan3589]

Wow!! My mind is blown!! Each one of these guys is absolutely perfect! I've been a Rush fan for over 40 years. This is hands down the best tribute ever!

[@davidgray1507]

Best Rush Tribute Band I have ever heard.

[@43loudman]

i believe neil in heaven would be smiling and saying , thanks guys for a great performance, these guys are really, really good, i wish geddy and alex would say something, they are the best cover of rush i have ever seen,.............

[@nickpavlovich2312]

AWESOME COVER.

[@prezzzrock]

This is absolutely amazing and all levels. Guitar sound it spot on Lifeson. Congrats guys......You nailed it!!

[@hackattack7811]

Wow. I thought Lotus Land was the best rush tribute band, but I may have to change my opinion after watching this. Excellent all around. That voice sounds as close to geddys as it could ever be. Great recording too

[@apieceofdirt4681]

Hack Attack The Lotus Land band IMO is still s lot better. These guys are a good second though. Everything sounded good but the drummer had ZERO passion. None. You know he spent some cash on his kit though.

[@hackattack7811]

@@apieceofdirt4681 Lol. Yup

[@MixedNuts2]

Hack Attack I don’t know Chris from Lotus land is pretty spot on too. Chris is a better base player.

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

Lotus Land is awesome as well

[@owenandrew8108]

yynot is great, and they do original stuff too

[@bobwinters6459]

Damn, if I had my eyes closed and just listened to it would be really hard to tell which was Rush and which was the cover band. Well done!

[@michaelkennedy5126]

Not only is that the best possible cover of DEW, it is indeed the only cover of DEW I've ever heard. You guys are fantastic.

[@dogcowrph]

These guys are fantastic. They are spot on, note for note Rush. I’ll never get to see Rush again so this is as close as I may ever get again.

[@rmmccarthy1240]

Outstanding vocal tone and phrasing! Great fidelity and groove. Excellent trio and tribute act. Thanks for posting.

[@eharleyaguilar5143]

Damn that was spot on 🤟🏼🎸🥁

[@robcurtis1779]

Awesome! I love a good tribute band. It’s great to see and hear a group of people that are so into a band that I’m into, that they have actually formed a tribute band and dedicated themselves to learning and performing the band’s music. Like classical musicians dedicate themselves to playing Bach and Mozart. And the vocals are always so important in any tribute band, but especially when the original voice was so distinctive. Just the right tone without overdoing it or camping it up. Excellent job, I’d love to see these guys live. I remember trying to cover some Rush songs as a teenager in our HS rock band. 2112 Overture/Temples, and YYZ. We attempted some others but couldn’t pull much of it off.

[@andrearoscoe8261]

Nailed it! great cover from my favorite Band...your voice gave me the chills, sounds so similar to Geddy Lee.

[@JA-io8nx]

Guitar player's tone is spot on. As well as the keyboard tones. Great job.

[@williampatton3444]

Arguably one of the most difficult bands to cover--excellent job boys!

[@greengrass1072]

This is my third video in a row of these guys that I’ve watched and I finally had to say something......they’re amazing! They absolutely have nailed the sound and nuances of every song. Rush fans are probably the most fickle music fans that exist and it takes a lot to impress them if you’re going to have a tribute band for one of the best bands in rock history and these guys do it.

[@robertmyers9228]

damn right joe! rush forever!!!!!!!!!

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

Not sure that's the right definition of fickle.

[@greengrass1072]

@@neighbourhoodmusician You know what? It isn’t. Thanks so much for letting me know that. Was my spelling all good though?

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

@@greengrass1072 😄 Sorry. I mean it pretty much means the opposite of what you were trying to get across. Just thought it might be helpful for you to know.

[@greengrass1072]

[@43loudman]

the best cover yet, please keep the rush band alive, you all did an excellent job, thank you.

[@AquaMenTonyM]

Wow! Amazing. Rush is back!

[@01weskus]

Best non-Rush version of this song. Some, very minor glitches, not worth to mention, since this is live take. Vocals actually work darn well even though he is so busy doing all those things like Geddy used to do. Very professional. Great stuff, hoping to see some more....

[@lelandmcintyre283]

You can tell these guys have studied Rush material really well. Fantastic job guys !!

[@jaystyx5134]

I really dig your voice bro. Reminds of Geddy Lee's younger days. Thx for the memory

[@michaelwilson1020]

My favourite song off Grace Under Pressure....you guys do it justice. Cheers from Vancouver

[@williambarnes7442]

OMG, if I couldn't see them, I'd swear it was really my favorite band if all time; so excellent !!

[@waynep1178]

Love this song, was always 1 of my fav by Rush. And you guys did it proud. Awesome job, sounding good.

[@Chief-Walleye]

You guys are AWESOME. Live you sound like "Studio" Rush! I dont think Rush even sounded so good live! Keep it up!

[@happyjourneys4361]

Simply fantastic.

[@AlexA-zh5cf]

This is great, but the guitar is perfect, I find most tributes to rush don't nail Alex's sound, and yours is spot on

[@rolfvellek]

Aside from fact it's a STUNNING cover that sounds so much like Rush, the video production is outstanding. You guys deserve to be very proud.

[@TheKimchipower79]

Awesome musicians. They almost perfected RUSH. Speaks to not only this bands musical talent but persistent dedication to perfection.

[@davidteague4430]

Wow. Very well done.

[@paulweiss3818]

Note for note PERFECT!!! I am so impressed!

[@adam872]

How good is that guitar tone. Bang on!

[@erichhonecker8548]

God bless you gentlemen! Wow. Looking forward to your new Rush style album! Carry the torch PLEASE !!!

[@joshuagaffney458]

This is so beautifully done. Very interesting choice for bass guitar to play rush with, but somehow it works! 💕

[@FortyHurts]

It's a good stand-in for the Wal or the Steinberger.

[@larryklawiter9168]

Pretty amazing-these guys have really put in the work!

[@philipsmith3154]

Omg, Maybe it's Getty long Lost brother, from another mother !!! Excellent !!

this is awesome , i love rush tributes and i love three piece bands in general ,. another great 3 piece band that sometimes played 'Spirit of radio" live was clark the shark haggins and the greenhouse effect

[@jrock2264]

You guys have Rush's sound down perfectly, and that's not easy to do. Well done.

[@Ophidicus]

Mind Blown! Amazing

This is very well done from my favorite band of all time! When I sing Rush at karaoke, people have accused me many times of sounding exactly like Geddy Lee. He is one of my biggest influences in vocals. I have seen Rush 4 times in my life and they never disappointed me. Props guys, awesome job!

[@gtate135]

Your great! Awesome tribute to one of the greatest! Your bass sound is freakin killer!
