As only a legend like Mike Portnoy can pay homage to another legend Neil Peart- 🥁🙏

I have to disagree. I love Mike and I am sure he didn't even have to practice or review the tabs to this beforehand to perform with YYNOT this show, mostly because he is that talented on the fly, but with that said pretty much every official YYNOT drummer has had the song down with 100% accuracy to the original, played perfectly in honor of Neil, so I would actually give them even more credit for putting in the work if we are talking about putting in that dedication and I don't see how one could imply that they couldn't do the song justice but Mike could. I still enjoy Mike's interpretation, but to me it's pretty obvious he didn't spend a lot of time learning Neil's fine details for the track.

I learned that on bass when I was 15. I’m 60 now. Still love that song. Still feel like 15 in many ways

Lifelong Rush fan here... That was fucking epic!! Portnoy's expression at the end said it all. Thank you.

Potentially the best ever cover of this song.

@ScottScottMartin87 Awake's drumming is simply out of this world.

This really makes YYNOT legit.

Came back to watch this after Dream Theater announced that Mike was reuniting with the band, more excited about that after watching the first few minutes of this.

Goddam! In my 45 years as a Rush fan, this has to rank up there with one of the top performances of this song. The spirit of Rush lives forever.

Holy crap!! Hey guys!! That's Mike Portnoy on drums!!

WOW. Just WOW. For die-hard RUSH fans and musicians, this song is sacred...we don't cover it because we can't do it justice. These guys just threw that dynamic out the window. When you close your eyes, you're listening to vintage Neil, Alex and Geddy.

One of the best prog rock drummers covering one of the best prog rock drummers. This was a good idea. 👍

Professional musicians all the way. That was phenomenal.

Hats off to Billy... and Tim and Mike...

Great guitar work! Bass is solid and Portnoy? Well, he was born to take over for Neil

incredible... i have no words for how great this is...

Heard Geddy and Alex talk about how ridiculously hard the recording was to do on that song, like 30 takes to get it right, and these guys did it flawlessly live, I have to see them somewhere soon!

I heard an interview with Alex and Geddy where they talked about how incredibly hard this song was to record, and these guys did it flawlessly live. I hope I can find a way to see them live somewhere soon.

Outstanding all around. I think Alex would be proud of the guitar work on this. He nailed it!!. One of my fav tracks from Rush.

wow blown away! What can i say great music gets played masterfully once again!

Talk about an incredibly complex and powerful song, honestly I can’t imagine anyone doing a better cover than YYNOT. I really need to see these guys perform live!

WOW! Goosebumps, chills and hairs standing. Only Portnoy can really match Mr Peart. This is an amazing cover.

You can really see Mike's respect and admiration for Neil at the end when he salutes the Maestro up in heaven.

Probably the best cover of any song I've ever heard. That's an extremely difficult song with a lot of nuance and everyone nailed it. Amazing!

Omg, that was incredible. MP should get in contact with Geddy and Alex and tour as Rush 2.0.

Portnoy and the ultimate RUSH cover band! Perfect!!!

We almost decided not to make the 8 hour drive but this is a great reason why we did! I'm still in awe of the talent that showed up to pay Tribute to Neil. I felt him there in spirit for sure! Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to honor our beloved Professor...

shivers down the spine. utterly superb.

THE best cover I have ever heard. I’ve heard a lot of attempts.😊 The BEST part? I was there! Took days to come down!

Wicked cover!

Wow very impressive Rush lives

Tight would not be doing it justice. Love mike portnoy. I feel he is so much more creative than his successor in dream theater. while mike is not playing note for note the whole time, he’s putting his own touch on it and makes it no less than a masterpiece! Neil is smiling down on him! Bravo. Not sure why Joel stevennette left yynot, but he’s another extremely accomplished drummer !!!!

Mike doing this was such a heartfelt and classy thing to do. What a treat for us all.

Loved Portnoy’s adrenaline version! Snare had pop!…although Mike could probably make a $10 snare sound expensive! Tim and Billy were locked in (as usual) and had no trouble matching Mike’s blistering pace! That was very kewl guys, just amazing…looked like you all had a blast that evening. Perhaps you make it an annual gig! Or maybe a different charity next year…🤔😉

Everyone who respected Neil or loved Rush, is doing something every year on January 7, to some degree. A to B, different degrees!

Incredible as always!... Awesome to see Portnoy on drums. Keep it up guys.

Agree with everyone. WOW, spot on, raw, no fixes and that bassist?? Geepers.

Portnoy’s additions are spot on, and don’t take anything away, brilliant, thank you.

&#@t!!! I'm at work...YYNOT upload notification...work is now on hold for 9 minutes. 😅🤣😂That's what they call WORK LIFE BALANCE right? OK, I didn't take lunch, it's all good.

Cleanest cover of a masterpiece

What is this? After all those years with this masterpiece i met a cover in expertise like presenting RUSH as best as it could be

Saw Rush in '78 on the Hemispheres tour. Stood about 15 feet in front of Alex Lifeson. It was epic! RIP Neil!

What did I just witness!!?? Got no words!

Mind blowing. It feels as if Rush was actually playing this song, hard to tell it's a cover.

Wow! Portnoy for the win here!! Love it.

Mike, just thanking you. You fkn slayed that! My sad little Canuck heart felt like I needed to stand at attention.

When you hear a performance such as this, you realize that it wasn't just the magic of RUSH. This is a composition that is the equal to any heralded composition from the Classical period.

Exhausting just watching it...... Mike said it is one of the hardest songs he's ever played. Mentally and physically

Life long Rush fan. Best damn cover of this song I've ever heard.

Wow, that was AMAZING 👏🔥🔥🔥 Bring this to Australia 🇦🇺

Cold morning, tough day at work, long trip home. And this is waiting in my feed. Sublime. Chills run down my spine. All the negativity is forgotten.

No one will ever be able to beat this cover in a million yrs.. this is hands down the best cover of this song I've ever heard in my life man.. so good.. and mike portnoy absolutely killed it.. just wow.. 🤘🤘

This is arguably the greatest Rush cover ever and I'm hella confident there's no recency bias!

wow wow wow

If you think for a second, all invited drummers used the same kit! Wow! Just wow!, no (I think my splash should be there, my ride is not normally there!) Truely amazing! NP would be so proud of MP and all the other amazing drummers paying tribute to him on such a wonderful occasion! And well done YYNOT, gorgeous! RIP The Professor! and thanks!

Fuckin awesome Neil's tribute!!

Goosebumps man,Goosebumps, damn.

Note. Perfect.

Best cover of this song ever and congratulations on getting to play with Portnoy, you guys killed it. Geddy and Alex should do a tour and let Portnoy play the drums that way we could see them live one more time.

wtf did I just watch? chills & tears. what a superb performance.

"Never turn your back on a monster..." 😁 Splendid stuff, chaps.

NAILED IT!!!

The more times I see MP play Rush covers, the more deeply I believe that if Rush ever did a special reunion tour, he'd be the best pick, by far, to sit behind the kit.

when YT dumped a commercial right in the middle of this, on me. I died a little inside 😢

Well done!!! Everyone is on their game and it sounds fantastic!!! Couldn't stop smiling, KICK ASS!!!

OMG. Best. Cover. Ever.

C'est le meilleur groupe qui joue du rush aussi bien que j'ai vu et entendu de ma vie et je suis un fan de rush depuis que j'ai 12 ans et maintenant j'ai 58 ans et j'en ai vu des groupe qui joue du rush yynot est le meilleur et même plus bravo j'irais vous voir n'importe quand ❤lâcher pas les boys et la fille qui chante à merveille xxxx andre houle merci beaucoup

I was 16 when this album came out... These guys are the same age as me... Lifeson, Lee and Peart are both mine and their hero's... This is nothing short of amazing... I spent weeks learning to play this song on guitar. This is 9:02 of guys emulating their hero's... I wish I could have done the same.

Mike was playing with the soul of Neil Peart in his body… great

Wow, just wow!

Masterpiece executed by masters. Big bow! 🙌

Mike just qualified to sub-in for NP in the upcoming return of RUSH. Rush 4Ever!

WOW what an incredible cover of this song and the breakdown with the intro solo!…..amazing! Mike Portnoy is a beast.

Gotta admit... that was pretty cool, Gentlemen !!!

The best and closest reproduction of a classic rush song ever...way to go boys canadas proud...

Damn what a band!

Being there was awesome; seeing this performance again is nearly as awesome. Truly an outstanding night and a stellar job by every musician there.

Just amazing. Please Mike, volunteer for rush when they decide to give it a go again

JAW DROPPING mastery!

THis is priceless !!!!

Hot Damn - These guys absolutely nailed it! Bravo- no easy task
