Anyone else still have tears streaming down their faces when they watch our guys? They gave us SO much. Can never say thank you enough.

[@Rubbernecker]

Damn, you said it perfectly

[@Chris.8.8.]

Definitely a wave of emotion. Amazing talent

[@MIKEROADDOG]

And they kept giving , until they're machinery lost one of it's major components , and couldn't run anymore , Thank you for the Music and memories, that was , is , and always will be in our hearts and souls till the end of Time ❤️❤️ , and still being heard , omline or off 🤘

I saw them 11 times. I would have gone more if I could. I knew it was special every time.

[@marcc5028]

@@barton_dean39 - That is really awesome ... I have not seen them quite that many times. I do believe that regardless if anyone has seen them once or many more times... we who have seen them, can count ourselves as lucky and blessed to have been able to see them - the one and only RUSH !!! Greetings to all my fellow Rush enthusiasts ... I do love being part of that “club”, “group”, “family” 🤠

[@kevinkilduff2064]

Perhaps one of their most underrated tunes! Alex's guitar work is superb here. Man, this is a tour de force of musicianship. As tight as any band that has ever graced a stage.

[@jacobromero8875]

To know the physical pain Neil endured on this tour and still played for us fans the way he did just makes me appreciate him even more 🙏 I doubt other drummers would do that, he’s not about the money he actually cares to play amazingly for the fans to get their money’s worth and enjoy the experience 🙏 just utterly amazing!

[@jakeross2050]

Yes Neil suffered a lot physically on that last tour,but you'd never know it from his performance,that's why he's the Greatest drummer who ever lived

[@kenparsons7686]

The Professor was all about integrity, as was the band as a whole. It is one of the things that most endears them to us fans. Simply amazing.

[@martincox9691]

I saw them in St. Louis on this tour; fourth show of the tour IIRC. The first time I ever saw Neil look like he was having to work to play, and I’d seen most tours going back to 1981. Always concentrating, but never straining. This time you could see the toll it was taking. Totally respect the man for hanging up his spurs and calling it a career. May he Rest In Peace.

[@alexleer8688]

Really only three reply.😊

[@Gibson_Praise]

Some people say he didn't care for the fans much. Him playing through the pain proof how much he cares about the fans... he had enough money to quit at any time

[@elmoblatch9787]

The new guy really panned out.

[@geoffclements269]

Don't be too hasty, it's only been 40 years!

[@rhyta5042]

Yes he did, so now we hear he has passed away. RIP Neil

[@tonymuse]

Sure miss knowing that "the new guy" is still alive and kicking. :-( RIP, Professor.

[@brendanward2257]

Yeah, he put his 3 cents in !!!

[@josephtattum6365]

Snakes and Arrows is a very underrated album. Not "typical" Rush, but it had this really cool like "just 3 dudes in a studio" kind of vibe. Very raw and not over-produced. The tour was awesome.

[@Edu_Alvis]

A favorita Álbum of Geddy Lee

[@2ToyBoys]

​@@Edu_Alvisand Me!

[@Jonno2summit]

One of their best albums.

[@dstarling61]

Great album. I like em all, except Vapor Trails. I’ll give them a break on that because they had just got back together after Neil’s family tragedies.

[@nicholasvinen]

It's my favourite of their later career for sure.

[@TheNewBerser]

It even more saddening to think how Alex and Geddy are dealing with the loss of their bandmate and most importantly friend of more than 40 years.

[@danielecardinali7349]

Their friendship is even stronger than their musical skills.

[@mr.cheese7763]

19 albums of amazing music on every level, they don't cut corners on anything. THAT'S what musicians should be.

[@Jonno2summit]

This is how it's done. No vocals required. It's Rush! Musicians at their best and teachers of music.

[@nickavenoso7851]

They will always be my favorite band, and I still can’t believe its been a year since Neil’s passed. They went out the right way, and didn’t retire and just call it quits without giving their fans one more tour. Geddy and Alex still play their instruments from time to time. Long live Rush, and RIP Neil.

[@wrinkleneckbass]

I'm a 40 year Rush fan and I friggin love this song. There is something very emotional about the structure of the song and the chord changes.

[@williamrussell8353]

It's bad ass

[@williamrussell8353]

So glad saw them seven times

Ged makes the bass such a fucking cool instrument.

Every Rush video I watch brings a tear to my eye knowing that Neil is no longer with us! Really makes me sad!

[@kerrydevereux7798]

I’m not sure if we are worthy of such enjoyment and amazement .
Watching these three is spell -binding tag along .!!! How do they reproduce a classic even better then the vinyl original .? Neil of course never misses , Alex is over the moon and who seems to enjoy performing like Geddy .!?!? Years of work , friendship and skills make a thing of beauty even better .!

Don't get any better ! Saw them on almost every tour of the UK ( cept when in the army ) guess where I'd rather have been! Best band ever. Amen.

[@masterhakesho]

Even though it was during probably one of their last shows ever, I'm humbled and extremely lucky to have seen these legends at MSG during the R40 tour. I wish I was around for the whole ride starting in the 70s, but I'll never forget that show.

There music and just as important, there lyrics ..carried me through my life , stories to carry me away to distant places , a farm , a field with hawks soaring overhead.. it has been a gift , a trip , it has been a magic ride from day 1 !
Thanks to Neil , Alex Geddy ..and John...

Somehow they manage to still have that classic Rush power-trio sound. Plus, you see their extraordinary timing and musicianship fully intact. Inspired playing!

[@lpr5269]

Ok I have seen lots of famous bands in my lifetime and I have to say that Rush is probably one of the few bands that sounds better live than on their albums. In fact, I play the drums and I only play to their live versions because I like them so much better.

I know that Neil struggled a lot during this tour and he was in pain, but man... he still nailed it!
I'm sad because I never had the opportunity to see them live.

[@dp-yv9gz]

I saw them about 6 times in total. Twice during the Vapor Trails tour. What a set list. I took what was my future wife at the time and she hadn't really heard them outside when i played Rush in the car. We were dating for about 4 months before the vapor trails tour and had lawn tickets. She sat down for O'Baterista. I said "What are you doing?" "I don't really like drum solos" she said "So, this is Neal Peart" She stood up and was mesmerized for the 8 min solo. She basically said "Holy jesus fuck that's awesome!"

[@MyhorseInthegravy]

Look at this legend, Neil is to drums like Eddie is to guitars. Neil doesn't flail around like an idiot like a lot of these drummers do or like Animal does. Miss him so much. Rush was my era and their music will live on forever. Rip Neil and Ed.

[@funkster007]

Animal gets a pass though. He's cool.

Kocham Rush prawie od dziecka. Miłość do tego zespołu wpoił mi Piotr Kaczkowski w programie trójki minimax. To była chyba płyta Hemispheres. Od tego momentu Rush był moim debeściackim zespołem. Kupowałam wszystkie ich płyty. Byłam na koncercie w Berlinie w 2013 roku. Przeżycie niesamowite. Szkoda, że już nie ma wśród nas Neila Peart'a.

[@Snowdaawg]

[@stephenwest673]

The three best musicians you will ever see - end of 😎

[@Stratocoaster08]

I become significantly emotional (...to a slightly painful degree at times) when I listen to, watch, or even just think about these guys... especially videos from tours that I saw. I know many of you have seen them on many, many tours and on dozens of occasions...but for being born in 1995, I consider myself very lucky to have seen them six times... the final of which, was at The Forum in Inglewood for this very tour. They're just so powerful and have such a profound meaning in my life. I share my love of them with my parents, who introduced me as a young child. I also share my love with all of you guys! It's amazing how fellow fans of this band are almost like one big extended family...and we 'get' each other (as many elsewhere in our lives do not) ...and it's even inspired me to become a musician myself. My life would not be what it is without Rush. I have so many fond memories, and I look back with mostly inspiration and joy...but the thought that I will never experience that again directly does weigh on me at times... it exists now only in my memories, and in my passions. I will say, though...the sadness does bring a certain amount of motivation for me to put everything I've got into my own music, and persist in pursuing the things in life that I love. I don't think I could thank them enough...

[@AndyPlt]

You're lucky. For me being born in 1998, and in addition living in Russia... I didn't have chance to see, listen them live(
