Olli: 1, @6:57 Geddy (bass) and Neil (drums) made up this jam when Alex (guitar) wasn't around, so it's a heavy bass and drums groove even BEFORE my guitar hero added his touches to it. @7:22 Neil doesn't have to turn around, the drum set does that for him when he needs it to. The drums behind him in this video are a whole other electronic set, with all synthesized sounds, and the set rotates. All he has to do is stand up and sit down again and he's playing the other set. You really gotta see this drummer's solos! RIP Neil. Rush is my favorite. Thank you, THIS IS IT Reactions, for doing them justice! Gonna look for that Tom Sawyer reaction now.

The band didn’t know they had such a following in Brasil, where this is shot. This was probably the biggest crowd they played for. You can tell by the bewilderment of Alex's (guitarist), and Geddy’s (Bass) faces at time. Neil Peart, the drummer, also known as the “Professor”, was very stoic in his expressions. He also wrote most of their lyrics which are just as impressive as the music. I learned how to play drums listening to Rush. They are a tremendous example of humbleness. RIP- Neil Peart.
