[@Straywolf514]

Not many people in the world of music today could pull off what these 3 very talented musicians are doing.This is amazing and you 3 are a pleasure to watch and listen to.

[@nietdoorsnee]

You are right , in my opinion.

[@scottsmith1455]

The amount of talent it takes to pull off sounding good playing Rush tunes is insane! You guys sound amazing, unbelievable talent here!!

[@Rockzilla404]

It as much nerve as talent. They're amazing.

[@scottstevens2752]

So agree, his voice is spot on that's rough enough without playing bass and keys at same time!

This sounds exactly like the original, and the vocals are right on the spot. Awesome job guys!

[@TheMentalblockrock]

I just compared this, eight bars at a time to Rush live in 1981 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWqVn4iFl66KeKs and I have to agree.

[@acm4147]

Bass, vocals, AND keys just like Geddy. Crazy!🇨🇦😏 Impressive guys. Well done!

[@TheMentalblockrock]

@@acm4147 Except Geddy has not been able to manage the top octave for at least 27-28 years now.

I almost wonder if his voice is better than Geddy's (No disrespect Mr. Lee).

This is a band that is truly worthy of playing RUSH. The closest to the real thing. Close your eyes, just listen and you could hardly tell the difference.

Absolutely fantastic !! Love surfing KZbin and coming across gems like this. 10 outta 10 right here!! Brilliant !!

I've seen Rush 79 times starting with the Caress of Steel tour in 1975. This IS the closest I've heard from a Rush tribute band... GREAT going guys!

Pro Shot | Pro Sound. No pretense. Pure, Amazing! Musicianship | Talent. Close to tears and shivers. Thank you!!

[@erichhonecker8548]

You all need to go on tour world wide and especially in Canada. As the fans close their eyes and listen they will SWEAR they went to a Rush concert post 2020!!!

[@davidhanrahan9317]

By far the best Rush Tribute band I have ever heard! I have watched all of their live videos and they have every little nuance covered. I have been a huge Neil P. fan from “Fly by Night”, I first saw Rush April 8th 1979 at the Providence Civic Center. The Good Rats opened for them. And Neil’s massive drum kit, although covered in a black sheet, was right there center stage for all to see before the house lights went out and the smell of pot went up. This is when he used two bass drums and had the percussion rack surrounding his kit! When the lights went down, you could hear Neil doing fills up and down the toms as they pulled that black sheet off, and there he was, “The Professor on the Drum Kit”…long hair and mustache! I was 17 and still get the chills thinking about that almost 45 years later! This drummer, Tom, has got this down to the last note! Absolutely incredible! Aside from his on point playing, his kit is near spot on R30 era, and his tuning and sound….Wow! ! As I watch these videos I thought to myself, this guy could cut the Rush gig! All three of these talented gents have put a lot of time and money into this project, which brings us Rush fans back to much simpler times of stereo systems on our bureaus and posters on our walls! Thanks guys for persevering this legacy!

[@ddd228]

THIS blows me away. NEVER has been a better Rush tribute band. Baggy pants can really play!

[@sydviscous7006]

One of my all time favorite Rush tunes, and these guys totally crushed it! Blown away! The bass tone is superb. Drums? Clone of Neil. Guitar? Fabulous. These guys are the best Rush cover ever!!!

[@joelmathiason6070]

The focus is sharp on that stage!

[@Curseofsuperbowl49]

Thats a difficult track, done superb , great music ability...as a "struggling" guitar player I appreciate the time, effort put into a track like that....keep up the good work.

[@superconductorchip9072]

Close your eyes and you have Rush, I just wish the audience would open their eyes and wake up.. Great Band..

[@barrygerenski6259]

I thought for a moment if I close my eyes I was watching Rush. Great cover of one of my favorite songs from that album.

Way too good to be playing for a street festival audience...

[@frankfossaceca9616]

I agree with you frank.this so good.!!!

[@frankfossaceca9616]

Once again frank. You are absolutely right about about this band. I have watched this video again several times. They need to be playing for a far more better crowd then this street festival. A huge outdoor amphitheater would be ideal for these guys am i right?

[@GertrudeGrindhorn]

This is most faithful rendition I have ever heard from a cover band of an extremely difficult Rush song, full stop.There cannot be a closer trio of musicians who have worked so hard to get every note, tone, and tiny nuance correct. All the instruments reflect what was used on the original track, the live mix is out of this world. Mr Lee, Mr Lifeson, Mr Peart should & would be proud of you guys because what you do is 100% authentic. Thank you so much for all your endless hard work to get everything 100% correct. Your music brings a tear to my eye.

I'd venture to say that most of these people didn't realize what they were witnessing while seeing these guys. The hours and hours of practicing to execute these songs the way they do. Lets not forget the sound person(s) what a stellar mix! I'm mind blown by the whole thing.
