The smile on Geddy's face when Neil comes down from the kit and takes a bow with them is EPIC! Pure joy and happiness.
Yeah, knowing he NEVER came up front like that and Geddy's reaction.... water works here!
Maybe he knew it is the last time ...😢
They've been very open about the fact that they knew it was THE last time. Yep. So sad, but what a great journey. They've been my #1 favorite group since I discovered them at 13 years old in 1979@@USAMehdi
@@ruthylopez wow, same way with me. I was a little older but it was 79, quite by accident,... someone gave me a ride and he was playing Xanadu... I got hooked. Went to every Rush concert after that. Some twice.
*******PRICELESS*******
At the end, you can see Geddy's surprise turn into happiness and then it immediately dawning on him this really will be the last time we do this and thats why Neil ran up front
Sad part is if you read Geddy’s new book, Neil went to own area to party and celebrate and Alex and Ged did their own stuff. Never saw each other after that night. Ended weird. Ged ended up calling him months later to reconnect. 😮. RIP. 🪦 🥁
You don’t think that one of the most intelligent, introverted people in music was handling things, in a way that he felt appropriate, do you?
I was very surprised to hear they didn’t party together after the last show. I think toward the end of the tour, there were talks about adding a few more shows and Neil said no. Maybe there was some initial resentment between Geddy/Alex and Neil that night?
😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
It's four years (yesterday) since he passed and it still feels raw. What a mentor he has been on my life.
Mine too! 🙂
Yeah, I still haven't gotten over it TBH. Part of me is even still a bit "mad," in a way, that we never got the chance to thank him as fans so that he truly understood how much he meant to us. I know he wanted privacy in the final days, but it was like finding out a family member had been killed in an accident when the news broke. I just feel the grieving process would have been easier if we would have had time to reflect more.
Afterimage, all over again.
I’ll never forget where I was when I got the news on social media.
@@jackzimmer6553 Yeah me too 😕
Agreed 😢❤
After all these years, I'm still completely mesmerized when I see how much pure talent and ability Neil demonstrated night after night after night. Rest in peace Professor.
🥁 🥁 🐐 🐐
I really miss Neil and Rush. I still get choked up when he actually came up front like that with Geddy and Alex
Great tribute! A wonderful way to keep this man alive through the countless fantastic memories he created! 🙏🏻👏🏼👍🏼
That Neil was constantly learning and saw himself as a student of the drums illustrates his dedication to the instruments. The way he travelled between shows, for me, illustrates how he didn’t want to fall in to the trap of being the idol surrounded by his fans, something he wasn’t comfortable with. That he could easily go from lunch in a roadside cafe to playing in front of tens of thousands shows how he let his drumming do the talking. When he did give interviews, though, you realised that this was a deep, intelligent individual. Everything about Neil Peart, and Rush generally, was something worth being inspired by!
Awesome tribute bro! Neil is without question the greatest drummer to ever walk the face of the earth!
Lol! No, he isn't. And I say that as a huuuuge fan of his.
@@elmhurst86 I agree...he was a monster prog rock drummer, but not the best. He was probably the most influential drummer in the past 40 years, and a God amongst men in the drumming community, but there are far better players out there. To Neil's credit, he always humbly acknowledged the greatness of other players.
I think "greatness" is in the eye of the beholder. You can name whoever the F*** you want to, and I will tell you that in my opinion, Neil is hands down the greatest. @@Tonyr0206
A true legend, and the greatest positive influence on my life. RIP
HUGE influence on me as well 👍🏻
In the year 2112, none of us will be here, but the album will live till the end of time.
And remember, he penned all the words to what we’re hearing.❤
Can't believe it's been 4 years. Jan 7th each year I binge on Rush.
The Professor was one of a kind. I remember hearing on the radio about his passing, and audibly gasping. It was such a gut punch. I cherish the memories of the times I’d seen Rush live. He is so missed. Beautiful tribute; you did an awesome job.
Yes caught me off guard
Nice tribute! Also remembering Neil today!
Will check it out 🙂
Just before turning and walking off the stage Neil shouts something.. Either "Goodnight" or "Goodbye". Chills & tears here!
How has it been four years?? Can’t believe I’m never going to see these guys again. Great video.
I’m 72 years old I got my first tablet, sometimes I call it a computer, on December 2020. I went from hating metal music, now it’s my favorite genre of music. If you asked me before I got my tablet who my favorite drummer was… I would’ve said I don’t have one mostly because I don’t know anyone. Now I say Neil Peart, the late great drummer from Rush. ❤❤❤
Never too old! 🙂
As a music teacher that I am for so many years already, I just have something to say, Neil was is and will always be The Greatest Drummer of all times, and also just to mention , I was at The Forum in Inglewood ,CA for their last concert, RUSH 4 ever and ever Cabrones , órale🎼🥁🎵🥁🎼🥁🎵🥁🙌🙌‼️
I miss this man. Not only his music, but his intellect. I miss this man. Aloha!
It's hard to believe 4 years have already passed.
R.I.P NEIL PEART you are missed❤🥁🎼🎵🎶 thanks for the MUSIC& LYRICS😊
word
And just like that....the professor left us,what an amazing journey he took us on.an imeasureable talent and mind,rest in peace mr peart.
We love you and miss you Neil Peart. Thank you for all the Awesome Music Rush!
The chemistry and energy between the three men introduced a new genre of rock that produced new sounds and still today is so unique; This in my opinion makes them geniuses'.
I don’t disagree 👍🏻
Gone but never forgotten. There will never be another ‘Professor’ of Rock & Roll percussion!!!
I think I miss Mr. Peart 's CREATIVITY more than anything else. It was always great to listen to the next live drum solo or what he would play on the next recording. Always integrating new rhythm, whether it was from a trip to Africa or a lesson with Peter Erskine. He drew inspiration from everywhere and gave great music to us !!
Selfishly, I wish we could still hear music from him.
My dad raised my brother and I on Rush. Beyond grateful that I got to see them live not once but twice including that last clip in LA.
❤🥁🤘🏼
Brilliant , Unabridged ,non ego' d , humble stance , team player , mastermind, tutor for many, and just another fun loving guy from Canada,,, there shall never be another Neil , unless the stars are aligned as they were 71 years ago ..right up there with Terry Fox ,Neil Young , Alexander Graham Bell, Rick Hansen , as a ambassador to Canada for all to enjoy the memories of what once , was .. .
Nice video. Been a Rush fan and drummer since 1980. Neil Peart has been a massive inspiration.
Fantastic job! Thank you for creating this tribute.🤜🤛
Test for Echo was such an underrated album. His drumming on that song was superb.
I was coming home from work on a Friday evening. The 6PM radio news break started off the station's hour. They segued into it by playing the intro to Tom Sawyer, and the news anchor began and said, "It's a sad day in the world of music today......," and I just knew. The next day CBS was broadcasting their NFL playoff game for that day and used RUSH for their bumper music as they broke for commercials. I thought of whatever broadcast technician for CBS who put those in and wondered if he had a tear running like I did.
I’m sure he did
Just wonderful. Just an incredible human being. My heart still breaks for him.😔💔
For those we left behind but cannot forget. The Professor is no exception.
The spirit of The Professor will always be alive in the radio of my mind.
Marathon from a Show of Hands is definitely one of my favorites, Neil, in his prime
Yup that’s a great one 👍🏻
Completely agree. What a masterclass.
Always felt "Power Windows" tunes MUCH better live than studio
@@user-fu2mi1nd5l Absolutely agree 👍🏻👍🏻
Rush has always been one of my favorite bands. I was so sad when I heard about Neil's passing. The end of an icon. R.I.P. Neil Peart.
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. I didn't get a chance to watch this yesterday but I sit here in France with tears streaming down my face after having just finished that.
Thank you for your kind words. I still get a little teary-eyed myself.
Just like eddie van halen Neil Peart will be remembered for his his fantastic way he played the drums. There will never be another drummer like him. RIP Neil and eddie.
0:36 my absolute favorite sound from any of Neil's kits.
Sweet 👌🏻
I am a huge longtime Rush fan from the late 70s to the end of his career. I was blessed to be born in the time of Rush. And I’ve got to see them at least five times and all those years they always put on a fantastic show. Neil Peart was a show on himself, because I was always looking back there to watch him. And that’s not usually something you do when you go to a concert. But he will always be missed. May you rest in peace Neil see you on the other side
The PROFESSOR!😢 sadly missed,very thankful to have his brilliance,ALWAYS FOREVER THE GOAT.
Im glad someone didn't comment and compare him to other drummers and vise versa. Like most people do. Just enjoy watching perfection at its finest. R.I.P. PROFESSOR...😢
That mans life's work feels like it was created for each of us individually, his fans relate to him individually, he really touched and influenced so many. One thing I've been so happy to see is a new, young generation exploring his works and RUSH in general, doing covers, doing remixes and more... Live on Neil Live on RUSH.
Amazing retrospective on the Professor. Thank you for honoring the 4yrs since he passed. Peace, be still 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It’s true, we miss him every day. And that’s why I keep listening to his music all the time. In a way, he’s still with us.
RIP Pratt
Thanks for doing this on the anniversary of losing what we RUSH fans consider a gift.
I miss him… I’m his age and I cried on Jan 10 2020, when the news released that he was gone. Thanks for this. For a touching video search “Time stands still, Pershing’s Own”. I’m Canadian, but these American musicians so honoured and cherished the memory of a great musician, author and poet who was foremost a humanist and appreciated diversity, authenticity, and individuality.
I know the video you’re referring to. I almost can’t watch it, because the hurt is still too near 😕
There will LITERALLY be no other drummer to reach the heights that Mr Peart achieved. They can and will try, but nobody has the chops of Mr Peart. He was always 2 levels above the next best drummer.
Neil was technically one of the best drummers to ever have played and continued to challenge himself with new genres (including jazz) and new playing styles such being able to play with both the matched grip (his primary grip) and standard grip. He is in the Pantheon of drummers with Moon, Bonham etc. Being in a 3 piece rock band enabled him to grow in that every instrument needed to be a lead instrument. What is often overlooked is that he was a fine lyricist as well. Rush also demonstrates the creativity and longevity a band can have if they avoid addictions.
He is and always be the greatest.
We miss you, Neil.
It's sad to see such a great guy drummer song writer to leave us Neil was one of my favorite people who played drums I could listen all day may I say to Neil's family he will be missed and always in my heart ly you Neil ty for the memories of a great drummer ty Vernon
Never forget , always remember and cherish those moments.💖🙏💖
That ending, hard to watch. Sadly missed, and will never be forgotten!
To this day, every single time I see the clip of Neil taking center stage with Ged and Alex, I tear up🥲.
I’m with ya
One of the best drummer in all over the world . I love it
RIP Professor, you are truly missed. 😢
Great video. I simply don’t want it to end.
Me neither!
If I had one wish where I could bring anyone back,..... it would be him.
Neil was the most technically proficient drummer of all time - had the good fortune to see RUSH live twice. Great shows both times.
Its so very rare for us to be graced by such a unique individual. I miss him so very much.
Yeap 😕
You are missed but not forgotten….. I still marvel at your genius. RIP
👍🏻
He was a metronome. Absolute perfection on timing. The world loss the best of the best although he would never say that. A what a prolific poet and humble as hell. A superb intellect who’s influence can’t be quantified.
At 16, I fell in love with drums and joined the North High Jazz Band because of this humble, talented man.
60 years later, I still love the drums because of this man.
Thanks for posting!
3 of the most talented musicians ever, but I think one of the main points of interest in Rush was Neil's poems/lyrics. He always left me feeling good...
Add to that the unbelievable abilities in playing their instruments and in creating those wonderful songs, then you have Rush, the greatest trio in the known universe ❤
Miss Neil always....😢
BTW, there's a weird shot at about 0:25 kinda looks like Alex is throwing Neil's drumstick up lol.
Rip professor from a fan of 40 years.
Sitting here tearing up man. Thanks for that.❤ from Scotland
Thank you Sensei Peart!
And thank you All about Rush for posting this!
Kuddos
We’ll never see his kind again. R.I.P. Professor 😢
Go to a Tool show. That drummer can do 3 time signatures simultaneously.
@@4fit816 Yeah, and his drum sound is flawless 👍🏻
I still think about rush at least once a day.
They will live on for generations to come.
If i see neil peart playing im speechless. All i can say amazing.. no one like him. Even rush will have a reunion w/o neil, its not rush. Rush is neil. Merci beaucoup neil😀👌🇨🇦
We Rush fans, along with the musicians onstage, celebrated Neil Peart on the fourth year of his passing at the charity show, the 2nd annual Bubba Bash, 6 January 2024, The Keswick Theatre, Glenside, PA. It was an intense and memorable event.
I'm incredibly astonished that NEIL was taking DRUMMING lessons when it's obvious that the MAN was a GENIUS and MASTER of drums and percussion!!!
The guy was always a student (even though he was the Professor 😁)
@@AllAboutRush Just an AMAZING DRUMMER! SO sad that HE was taken from us so soon.
@@jtc1947 True, true ☹️
@@AllAboutRush Just Amazes me!
@@jtc1947 👍🏻
I'll never forget seeing the Show of Hands solo. And that crossover was so epic. But that solo was so incredibly crisp and clean. All of them are but that one stood up against all of the most recent solos with his his DW kits and new tech. Just incredible
My heart was so heavy when I heard that Neil had passed. I had just lost my brother the same week. When my son informed me of Neil's passing I thought he was playing a cruel joke on me only to be shocked to find out it was true. I was a Rush fan long before I even knew I was capable of playing the drums to which Neil became a huge inspiration.
Yes, HUGE influence. Sorry about your bro 🙁
@@AllAboutRush Thank you."🙂
Lost my brother in 2019. Then Neil and Eddie in 2020, but all three LIVE ON
Long live Rush!!! RIP Professor.
I always was amazed at his work ethic. I saw Rush on 12 different tours. Neil was something to behold. 💯 I always found him to be the most intriguing musician ever. Thanks for posting! I see we share an obsession 👍♥️
We certainly do 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Neil said many times he wasn't "a natural".
Could have fooled me - he was the greatest.
His humility was one of his greatest assets. 😎
Nice , I still get emotional when I see that last song or the applause at rock N roll hall of fame!!! Now that was an incredible moment ….RUSH. Greatest band ever.
He's not gone. He's on a different venue. No matter what, don't feel sad.
If rush aren't in my top 5 they deserve to be in my top 10. My greatest compliment from our guitar player. 1 day I drove up. I heard James say Neil peart is here
👍🏻
Neil's fluidity, speed, control, interesting syncopation, smooth changes, presentation and perfect timing was something special to behold. And what a great person. Bless his soul.
Neil was a consumate technician! Such a true joy to watch, and how Blessed we all were to have him as part of such a great Canadian band!
watching neil smile warms my heart!
When I heard that you were gone I felt a shadow cross my heart ❤
The Awesomeness!! ✊😊👊 The Master!! 👍😆👌🍁 Neil Peart 🍁
RIP Neal Peart 😒😔
👍🏻👍🏻
Thankful we have his music and videos to always keep him Alive 💪♥️♥️♥️
Absolutely 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing this! Yes I agree with everyone else! Even though I never met him personally he was a part of my life and inspiration!
Neil was the drummers inspiration, the act impossible to follow, always a step ahead of others. There are many great drummers, but Neil was greatness in music time, melodic percussion and lyric. My life playing drums with John Bonham and Neil Peart inspirations was a blessing. Neil you will never be forgotten. RIP.
Neil was the embodiment of a true drummer,always learning and never his own master,creative to the nth degree,his chops and phrasing were...."what did he just do?" never the finished article,i've tried and failed to play some of neils work...and thats when you realise that he was on a level that only really technical and dedicated drummers can attain or even come near to replicating.he was definately up there in the ether with is ability.RIP Professor.
The Greatest Ever
I am still crying.
The second drum fill after "The meek shall inherit the earth" 2112 Overture/The Temples Of Syrinx. Probably the best spontaneous drum fill ever recorded period. Remember this was Two inch tape recording, no pro tools here, get it right the first time! I worked that fill so many times and his fluidity and precision was uncanny. 20 plus years and never could get the touch and flow of that fill. Geddy starts singing right at the end of the fill but I have heard an isolated version and it is spectacular.
We sure do miss you. We sure do
R.I.P Sir Peart. Another one gone waaaaaaaaaayyyyy tooooo soon! Sadly Missed.
true, true
The man was a percussion genius
Losing him and Edward VH hurts to this day
So true.
I didn’t realize it was today. Brings a tear to my eye. What a remarkable human being.
Certainly was 🙂
Right, the only time I cried for a person I didn’t know! 😞 I just sat in my truck with hemispheres as loud as it would go…
Yes, we miss him every day!
Yes we do!
Loved the tribute, thx.
