I admire any drummer who has the courage to get up and attempt a Neil Peart drum part. It's pointless to say "he's not at good as the Professor" because no-one is, or ever will be. But Grohl did a great job and it is sublime to see Alex and Geddy playing.
I am glad to see that Geddy and Alex are not just sitting at the retirement home wasting away. I saw a tribute to South Park where they came out and played with Primus and Matt Stone. That was fun to watch.
Geddy was working as a volunteer at the publisher's printing office who was going to be printing his book. He said it was 5 days a week, 8 hours per day just like any normal job. He wanted to learn the process in which books are printed and distributed to sellers in order to help him get that much closer to what it means to be an author by seeing first-hand what goes on behind the scenes with the people who produce the final product That's such a RUSH thing and a Neil thing to do, too. I know Neil worked at both dw and at Sabian forging and hammering cymbals for the very same reason. There's a Sabian video where Neil is seen dressed like an ancient Chinese metallurgist forging, hammering, and then testing each cymbal
Wow, Dave brought a new dynamic to Rush. With Neal being so articulate you'd think that Grohl would have incorporated that. But no, he played like himself and I love that so much!
Great to hear Geddy & Alex here kickin' ass ....I remember as a 16 yr old seeing Rush at The Hammersmith Odeon in May 1979 on the Tour of The Hemispheres ....I was a night I NEVER FORGOT.....I still have the tour program right next to me here in the computer room.....lol ....David did great here & is a superb drummer but I don't think even David came up to NEIL ........NEIL was just IMPOSSIBLY BRILLIANT. 😳😳😳😳😯😯😯 He would leave me gasping. Seriously.
@@stephenwebb921 Yes, it was special. I recall Max Webster were the support.....I remember Alex, Geddy & Neil going right through Cygnus X1 (from a Farewell to Kings ) & headlong into playing the whole first side of the Hemispheres LP. ...When they played By-Tor & the Snow Dog , in the battle sequence I was going so crazy I nearly fell off the balcony....lol...At the time I remember Alex had replaced his Marshalls for Hiwatt amps interestingly. & The doublenecks they both played totally fascinated me...I think Geddy might have even had a custom Rickenbacker double neck made. & Alex like a white SG double neck...

GREAT gig. 😊💪
@@stephenwebb921 Just remembered something else.....I remember that at some moments Neil would throw his drumstick up high in the air & catch it coming down & I was like WTF ??? 😲....lol
I saw the Hemisperes tour too at Pinkpop 1979 in Holland.It was their first European festival gig.I bought a poster from the merchandise and i still have it.I remember they started with Passage to Bangkok,Xanedu,La villa Strangiato,The trees and some other songs.Magic times....
@@senicegy Yes, Pink Pop was the last gig on the tour. I'm looking at the dates on the tour program now here......They did the UK in April- May 1979 & did Paris, Oslo, Hamburg & finished in Pink Pop in June. Yes I remember the Trees had a back projection behind them possibly ? .....I think Neil was playing Slingerland then....& there was a picture of Neil with a bar of fruit & nut chocolate ....lol ...& they all had long hair back then. They went short a bit later for Permanent Waves & Moving pictures when they were playing less long tracks & more commercial stuff.
Put this in perspective. This tribute was just for one man. Just one drummer. One drummer out of a million of bands. It shows the love and connection we have to music. And when one person goes, we all feel it. We all gather in the heartache when a life is lost. I still cry over Chris Cornell. Elvis. Chester. Kurt. Layne. And the list goes on. This was beautiful, but I’ll never get over it. Until then, Rest In Peace Taylor, and may you find comfort where you’re at. #everlong
in all my years, as a devoted RUSH fan & playing drums myself for going on 50 years (casually) I commented on the RUSH induction to the R-n-R Hall of Fame that Dave and Tayor were the most fitting musicians to induct my Music heros. I've also said numerous times, In my mind, if they ever did a tribute to Neil (The Professor) that there are really on 4 maybe 5 drummers worth of that gig. Dave and Taylor, both are on that list. Along with Chad Smith (RH Chilli Peppers) Danny Carey (Tool) are automatically on the list because they reveared Neil's Gift to Music and Drumming as a craft. The morning I read of Taylor's death, much like Jan 7, 2020 when Neil passed, I took the day off and did nothing but play recordings that I myself have tried to master the respective drummers, and balled my eyes out. We are truly blessed with these Masters and this tribute to Tayolr is another great example of how the Rock family, at its core, looks after each other. RIP Taylor, RIP Professor, you both are deeply missed. ~R.
Anyone who can take Neil's parts and even attempt them is WORTHY! U go Dave. Glad Alex and Geddy are out n about. Still miss NP presence and COMMAND behind those tubbs. RIP
Great Tribute already. Speaks volumes for Dave & his love for Taylor. It's a INEXCUSABLE SHAME that egos & control freaks prevent this for EDDIE VAN HALEN.
It's no one's fault that EVH was kind of a dick and no one's obliged to forgive for anything whereas Taylor was more or less universally loved. Neither of these things are Wolfgang's fault. They're two totally different situations.
@@DaveOfAmerica who blamed Wolf ? It's become pretty known and self evident that Eddie was a tortured and self Destructive soul. But he seemed to have conquered his Demons, albeit too late. The " Kitchen Sink " would have been an awesome tour. Now per WOLF, a cpl difficult egos killed a tribute. Pretty easy to disparage a dead legend, isn't it ? "Dave".
Man, this brings a tear to my eye. It was so sad, Neil's passing. This is a flower from the ground, like Wolfgang's performance. Grohl did this tribute right. Kudos to him!
It's such a joy to see Alex and Geddy playing live together again, not the same without Neil - r.i.p, but the fact that Rush paid their respects - musically- to Taylor sais a LOT
Yes, soz for not holding on for the solo but just wanted to enjoy a little bit of my all time favourite band actually playing Wembley Stadium.....and, of course, it's me with the 'heys'!!
Some important points: - the Rush song with lyrics they played was original recorded not by Peart on drums (John Rutsey was the drummer of Rush, in Working Man). - Peart (on Rush), Ghrol (on Nirvana) and Taylor (on FF) didn't recorded the debut album (only) of these bands. - The other 2 songs in this show (2112 Overture and YYZ) are instrumental, original with Peart. - Taylor already played 2112 Overture, with Ghrol on guitar, at RnRoF Rush inducted. - It's Dave Ghrol, Nirvana drummer, playing with Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee! C'mon, close your eyes and take a listen: it's f... awesome! It's not for a "cool reason", we know, but they are doing a honoring job, in memory of Taylor and Peart - and for music, rock, and everything important
Dave Grohl just showed he's not just a good musician who writes great songs, but also a professional drummer, I'm not even talking about technique, this is subjective, but getting these Rush notorious start/stop brakes is very hard.
Not really. He has admitted in quite a few interviews that he partook of certain substances along with the other 2. Don't put him on a pedestal like that. He was a phenomenal drummer, but he was a man with failings.
Must have been a little odd for Alex and Geddy to play a Rush tune without Neil behind the kit. I thought Dave did a great job! Not easy standing in Neil’s shoes!
Totally! They did a great job indeed! I was at the final Rush concert in Toronto, which was so good it made the Blu Ray for the R40 final tour....This Reminds me of seeing THE WHO playing a concert in London Ontario, and their drummer Zak was sick and no kidding someone from the audience who was a drummer, Pete asked if he would do it, and he did the whole concert, somehow!
I hope this is a precursor to Rush touring again to honor Neil's memory. The fans want it and Alex & Geddy prove here that they've still got it! I think that Mike Portnoy would be a great fit. He's always looking for a new band to join.
Danny Carrey would have been one of my choices if Geddy and Alex decided to choose other drummers to play with in their own musical project, so this made a lot of sense!
Barry Miles was the writer that tried to destroy Rush in the early 70s with Ayn Rand controversy. He was also the same writer that penned the Paul Mccartney autobiography during that time. Glad to see the guys don't hold grudges. I think Neil might have, since he never claimed to be much of a Beatle fan. I love Rush and the Beatles.
I find it really horrible and a travesty that one of the top 3-4 guitarist's who ever lived, who was had such a MAJOR influence within the music/guitar scene for DECADES, died 2 years ago and there hasn't been any type of grand, epic tribute done for him as there has been for Taylor. It's an absolute disgrace. While I have never personally been a Foo Fighters fan, having felt that they are over-rated, I will say that I M O, while talented and charismatic, Hawkins didn't have even half the cultural impact on the rock/music industry as Edward Van Halen.
I hear ya. Blame the VH camp. These guys could let band politics and egos fuck up a cup of coffee. If any in that camp (outside of Wolfgang) saw this concert, I hope they feel shame and embarrassment. Now, to be fair, Eddie wouldn't really care. But, that's not the point. He deserves the recognition and deserves better from his bandmates.
I absolutely get your point. But is this the Foo Fighters fault or Van Halens? Just because nobody organised a concert for the great and mighty Eddie (who deserves all the worship in the world, and rightly so) that doesn't mean that other musicians and bands are not allowed to do so. The remaining members of Van Halen preferred to mourn in private, the FF decided to mourn in public.
@@musicplanetBJ I was merely pointing out a fact. I didn't say the Taylor Hawkins tribute was good or bad. Whoever (more then 1 person obviously) is to blame for the lack of a Eddie tribute is a disgrace and a major insult to Ed's memory and legacy!
@@tdunph4250 In that point I absolutely concur. Unfortunately we have seen in recent years that the VH family was not without infighting. I guess the sad truth may be that Eddie was holding the whole thing together.
Taylor Hawkins died far before his time, thus is a tragedy. EVH was old and it wasn't much of a shock, thus Taylor is getting a much bigger celebration of life. That's what it boils down to.
Taylor Hawkins made it very clear he DID NOT want to tour anymore. I believe "peer pressure" from a band member gave him no alternative, in his mind, to end it. The concert was in honor of him, just not what he needed at the time. It's a shame, for everyone.
No offense to Mr. Grohl, or any great drummer who backs up Geddy and Alex now...but it must be strange for them to be supported by somebody other than the GOAT, Peart. Bands get tight, and nobody was tighter than RUSH. Kudos to them for getting out of retirement and still pleasing fans the world over.
So apparently, the entire show was 6 hours long. They just showed 45 minutes of it tonight on Channel 5- UK. So why isn't the full show available on UA-cam? I suppose their waiting to put the whole event on multiple dvds before Christmas
They had their fans over there and always did well playing the big arenas. In the 70’s and especially 80’s, they had quite the devoted following with top 10 albums and their live album and DVD A Show of Hands was shot and recorded in Birmingham England. Those fans knew what to do during 2112. The problem was they never wanted to go over there to tour, especially as they got older and wanted to be with their families, and were quite content just doing America. The books Rush in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s by Martin Popoff detail a lot of this.
While this is bad ass. I don’t remember seeing a tribute concert for Neal Peart. And that pisses me off. Neal died having a massive brain tumor. Taylor died of a massive drug overdose. So yeah….pretty jacked up if you ask me
For me …… only one Professor . Dave I good and did a hard job of keeping up …..As fast as it looked he was banging away with Geddy and Alex . Neil “ played the drums to the song , giving it life . Was like using a baseball bat for a fly swatter would suffice .
And yet Neil Peart gets no sold out stadium tribute to him. There should have been a festival in his name who's celebration of his life last longer than the Queen's ceremony.
There's no professional video of this concert? Why are we interested in seeing the camera phone being wiggled all over the place? We could always go look at some real video we're not that hard up
I admire any drummer who has the courage to get up and attempt a Neil Peart drum part. It's pointless to say "he's not at good as the Professor" because no-one is, or ever will be. But Grohl did a great job and it is sublime to see Alex and Geddy playing.
AMen, guess your point is why they didn't play Tom Sawyer. Dave is still good though. Neil's are really big shoes to fill.
Agreed
yes.
you can tell both of them really want to return to stage and play together again, what that means in the future we'll have to wait and see.
I admire his sheer stamina on this show.
Dave Grohl , right there , is living the dream of every drummer who has ever loved Rush
First the South Park Anniversary Show. Now this. These guys are starting to pop all over. Good for them. Neil would've wanted them to keep playing.
Who played drums at that show?
@@dawnrizen9368 probably the drummer from Primus
@@drewgalbraith4499 Matt played too. Between the two of them, they could almost duplicate Neil!
I believe David Ghrol
I am glad to see that Geddy and Alex are not just sitting at the retirement home wasting away. I saw a tribute to South Park where they came out and played with Primus and Matt Stone. That was fun to watch.
They’ve got too much love for living left in them for them to just sit. They have the best sense of humour!
Geddy was working as a volunteer at the publisher's printing office who was going to be printing his book. He said it was 5 days a week, 8 hours per day just like any normal job.

All love man all love ❤️
I can picture a young Dave daydreaming about playing with Rush....that dream became reality...good for him
This works for me! Keep Geddy and Alex on the stage doing these concerts with bands who appreciate the Rush legacy!
Real TALENT never loses the ability to perform, Love RUSH, always have and always will, 👍❤️
Wow, Dave brought a new dynamic to Rush. With Neal being so articulate you'd think that Grohl would have incorporated that. But no, he played like himself and I love that so much!

You lucky person…must have been with someone special lol!……..
Absolutely magical !! The kings return and Grohl did a great job filling in for the professor !!

And you know dave practiced this song over and over to show respect for neil.✌💖✌
Geddy and Alex still have it and always will because they are masters of their art.
Everybody still want to see and hear Rush. It’s good to see them playing and looking good. RIP Neil, you are missed. ✌️

Rock on Dave! I like to think Neil is in another dimension looking in, drinking The Macallan and smiling.
Damn Rush Are my top 3 bands of all time!!!! And I never got to see them live :(
R.I.P Taylor Hawkins!!!!
What!!!!! you never got to see them live. oh man . those were shows out of this world.
I feel guilty. Got to see them 3 times.
Muito bom ver Alex e Gaddy ainda em forma. Linda essa apresentação com Dave.
A very special moment! Wow!
RUSH.AWESOME.AS ALWAYS.
This was incredible!!!
Man, this brings a tear to my eye. It was so sad, Neil's passing. This is a flower from the ground, like Wolfgang's performance. Grohl did this tribute right. Kudos to him!
He finally lived his dream of playing Neil Peart and playing with his heroes, Rush. RIP, Professor. And RIP, pupil Taylor Hawkins ❤️
Holy shit Geddy can still sing and rip on the bass

Thanks for posting 😀 was hoping the solo in Working Man was held on for as it’s absolutely amazing ! Go Rush !!
Yes, soz for not holding on for the solo but just wanted to enjoy a little bit of my all time favourite band actually playing Wembley Stadium.....and, of course, it's me with the 'heys'!!
Glad to see the lads playing together again ,tears.
Thx for sharing !! 😎
So cool they did this.
Dave filled some godly boots there......hats off to you buddy
AWESOME!
Held his own with the greatest
Holyshit! Thanks for sharing!
The Best x 2. Should be X 3. Miss you Professor. Long live Geddy and Alex!
Bet that was one of Dave’s bucket list items. He nailed it
for drumming but they were on stage before together
Hey Dave let’s get Rush back on the road. Great job
Some important points:
- the Rush song with lyrics they played was original recorded not by Peart on drums (John Rutsey was the drummer of Rush, in Working Man).
- Peart (on Rush), Ghrol (on Nirvana) and Taylor (on FF) didn't recorded the debut album (only) of these bands.
- The other 2 songs in this show (2112 Overture and YYZ) are instrumental, original with Peart.
- Taylor already played 2112 Overture, with Ghrol on guitar, at RnRoF Rush inducted.
- It's Dave Ghrol, Nirvana drummer, playing with Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee! C'mon, close your eyes and take a listen: it's f... awesome! It's not for a "cool reason", we know, but they are doing a honoring job, in memory of Taylor and Peart - and for music, rock, and everything important
Ok, It would make me cry too much
Phenomenal 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
If they wanted to tour as Rush like this, I'd see it. It's definitely not Neil, but it has an excellent
energy of its own.
Haha the one guy going “hey!”
@@JC-sj2pd uh, yes, that's what makes this vid funny. It's usually the full house doing so

The books Rush in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s by Martin Popoff detail a lot of this.
The ONE time Dave Grohl's thunder was stolen and it was from none other than South Park x'D
I didn't know the Foo Fighters guitar player could play the drums too, very good
Really?
Great, but why only six mins? Phone battery?
Soz for cutting short but I just wanted to be in the moment with my all-time favourite band actually playing Wembley Stadium!!....
Must have been very tough on both bands as the both lost key meeberdcjfsxgreatcti see rushkerfkrning again
Where's "...and the meek shall inherit the earth."?
HOLY F#$%. If you know you know. This is not an easy couple songs to "jam"
Huge elephant in the room.
Strange how both bands lost their Drummers !!!! 😢
Actually that's a John Rutsy original drum part.
On Working Man, yes. On 2112 Overture, no.
@Andy Harman oh yeah, Rutsy was only there for the first album.👍
While this is bad ass. I don’t remember seeing a tribute concert for Neal Peart. And that pisses me off. Neal died having a massive brain tumor. Taylor died of a massive drug overdose. So yeah….pretty jacked up if you ask me
Why do the drummer's always go first? Prematurely at that?
For me …… only one Professor .
Dave I good and did a hard job of keeping up …..As fast as it looked he was banging away with Geddy and Alex . Neil “ played the drums to the song , giving it life . Was like using a baseball bat for a fly swatter would suffice .
Ladies and gentlemen John Rutsey on the drum kit.
Rutsey died in 2010.
And yet Neil Peart gets no sold out stadium tribute to him. There should have been a festival in his name who's celebration of his life last longer than the Queen's ceremony.
Play with Rush? Grohl says, "Hell yeah, I can rush"
WTH did London do to deserve such a concert? Jealous as hell. 😖🇨🇦
There's no professional video of this concert? Why are we interested in seeing the camera phone being wiggled all over the place? We could always go look at some real video we're not that hard up
It's a pity you didn't record the show in stereo
