I must confess that when I want to listen to Marathon (my favourite Rush song), I sometimes come for this video rather than the original guys...

I do to and get emotional every time. It just hits.

The vocals are sooooo close. Pitch perfect and captures Ged's attack. Outstanding band. I miss seeing Rush live after 40 plus years of shows. These guys give folks a chance to hear this music live. Thanks

As a huge RUSH fan and heart broken that we may never see them live again. Lotus Land kind of eases the pain. They are awesome! I nearly fell out of my chair hearing Lotus Land for the first time.t

Saw them last night (2/25/22) at the Tupelo Music Hall in Derry, NH. They had a sit-in drummer. He did really well. Being a big Rush fan, I was very impressed with the crispness and exactness they had. I would see them again for sure.

Honestly, the best Rush tribute band I've ever seen. Very well done.

You might want to also check out New World Men. The best two Rush Tribute bands are Lotus Land and New World Men. The crazy thing about NWM is that it if the drummer who sings lead vocals, I wouldn’t think that singing Geddy while playin Neil on drums would be impossible until I saw a KZread video of NWM. Check them out. If you like these guys, you should also like NWM?

The Professor left a great legacy for humanity

Hopefully Neil is looking down from the thunder above and smiling at this. Great job gentlemen. RIP Professor Peart.

One rush song you don't hear often; they pulled it off.

Neil is smiling from the heavens.

Wow!!! Rush fan 43 yrs that was incredible guys. Bloody incredible. ✌️🥰X

Best Geddy-like voice I have heard. Great!

Finally a Rush cover I can respect

The first thing that impressed me about Rush when I discovered them in 1983 was the musicianship. The first thing that impresses me about Lotus Land is also their musicianship and that they are so incredibly faithful to the music of Rush (especially Chris's vocals.) Incredibly talented people who have spent many years perfecting their craft. Kudos guys.

I am not normally a big fan of "cover" bands but you guys are on a totally different level and you kept it to 3 people and are crushing it like nobody else! If there were ever a band who deserves proper covering, it's Rush so for that - thank you for doing them right!

Holy shit.. This is got to be the best Rush tribute band I've ever heard!! Fucking unreal!!!

Best RUSH tribute band ever...dude has a great voice!!

I literally cannot believe my ears … I texted my buddy this and he was driving so he just clicked on and played it and had no idea it was a cover band lol … bravo !! The professor is definitely smiling down from heaven ..

It’s awesome how the singer sounds just like 1985 Geddy Lee and he sounded like 1978 Geddy Lee on the Hemispheres rendition. Marathon is such an inspiring song comparing a lifetime to a marathon race. The lyrics ring true even in 2021 with all the world turbulence. Great job guys.

I have been listening to rush since i was 15 years old. Im a drummer playing in bands my whole life.neil has been my mentor. My idol. My teacher my entire life.May he rest in peace. This band is the most talented group of musicians i have ever seen in a long time.the bass players voice just floors me.Reminds me of geddy back in the farewell to kings album. The best i have seen ever in a tribute band. Blows mind how amazing these guys are!!!!!

To Chris Mark &Bob I have been watching countless hours of rush tribute bands and there is not one band who can hold a candle to you 3 gentleman I'm speechless every time I play your music . Your musicianship is impeccable! Chris you are an amazing vocalist, Mark Holy Shit your one of the best drummers I have ever seen! Next to Neil!! No bullshit! Bob what a killer guitar player, please keep on doing what your doing total Amazing !

Thank you for the kind words Michael. We appreciate it very much!

I love how every rush tribute band’s drummer has their kit set up just like Neils. 👍🏼

I can't believe my ears!! Absolutely outstanding Gentlemen 👏 It's incredibly rare to hear a cover band that, with eyes closed, can transport oneself directly front and center stage at the original bands live performance, and the three of you do just that! Thanks so much for (obviously) the extremely hard work you've devoted to become so excellent at your art🎶

The search for the best rush tribute ends here!

You guys blew me away at the Sellersville Theater a few years back. If it can't be Rush, it has to be Lotus Land. I'll be seeing them again for sure!!

Awesome.

If the rush bass covers Wizard TJH3113 says that it's simply the truth.

These guys were born to play this music.

LotusLand is the greatest Rush cover band ever.

BOOM! Brilliant cover of one of the best synth era Rush songs.

Well done.............................difficult song to play!

Not what I was expecting from a Tribune band , you guys definitely it justice. It sounded more like a studio mix, much respect you have a new fan.

One of my favorite songs from Power Windows. I scrolled down to get my eyes off and to just listen to the musicianship which is superb. This is not an easy song to replicate. What a thrill it was to hear such precision on ALL parts (drums, wow). Honored you paid such homage to Rush and its dearly departed Neil Peart. Thank you.

I`m totally blown away!!!!! Been listening to rush for almost 45 years and you guys pays tribute to rush in a way that is totally amazing!!!! All my love!!!!!

Can't believe I never found you guys years ago. RUSH "Power Windows" and "Hold Your Fire" are my two all time FAVORITE albums. Yup, I'm a true RUSH fan and those are the pinnacle. Awesome job, L2 !

DAMN! JUST DAMN! MY 2ND FAVORITE VERSION OF THIS SONG!

One of the best written Rush songs - well done gentlemen!

This is the best cover of Marathon I have ever heard. Extremely tight with an all round authentic Rush sound. Nearest Geddy vocals I have heard too. Drummer as tight as a knats chuff. If you just listen to the audio you would be hard pressed to notice any major differences. Defo will be listening to this song from this fantastic album on a regular basis. Are they still together in 2020 anyone?

WOW. One of the most accurate sounding RUSH tribute bands I've heard. Closing my eyes and listening to this puts me right back seeing the GOAT band in the flesh. Absolutely fantastic.....just awesome. Dude even sounds like Geddy.

Absolutely tremendous,totally nailed the Rush sound, and the voice is Geddy,the whole song is Rush to the letter 👌

I saw these guys live at Twin River Casino in Rhode Island. A friend of mine is the stage manager for this band and we had front row seats for the show. AWESOME !!!! These guys sound just as good live as they do here in the studio. It's no fluke that they are considered the best Rush cover band in the world. If you get the chance.....go see them. It will be a great night. Can't wait to see them again.

This band has talent, chemistry, and top end equipment. Bravo!!!

There's been Beatlemania, The Musical Box(Genesis tribute) and The Australian Pink Floyd show, but no one has ever come closer to the source material than Lotus Land. Closer to The Heart, indeed.

Fantastic artists! I enjoyed watching the video performance and was completely absorbed by the audio. Your endeavor to cover RUSH music may very well be a greater task than most will ever appreciate and/or comprehend?! I wish you all much peace and happiness on your journey through this world. I truly respect your craft and appreciate you sharing it!

I can only repeat what others have said already.Absolutely BRILLIANT!

This is the first Rush cover band that I have ever seen, but I can not see any other Rush cover band being better than these guys.

I'm not a Rush fan but I always like this song. You guys nailed it pretty damn good.

I think of this song whenever I pass by a Marathon gas station here in Michigan. This version is excellent, and is one of my fave Rush songs!

Chris and band- Once again my 1th million visit to this song- you guys ARE THE BAR!! for all...WOW.. i just picked up my drumset, i am learning to play this...mind blowing song and my Rush Fav...

To quote Larry David, "pretty good, prettay, prettay, pretty good."

Blimey!! Get yourselves over to the UK - you will pack venues over here.

Me? I never thought a tribute band would even attempt RUSH let alone Marathon. I stand so impressed I don't know what to say.

Tremendous job on one of my top favorite Rush songs. That was killer.

Having seen the masters do their craft for 35+yrs, you gentleman make me cry with happiness! We have our Rush back! No you will never be them but you do a fantastic job enough to evoke the soundtrack of some of the world's greatest musicians to grace under pressure , all the world's a stage, FOR EVER MORE RUSH!!!!!!!

This is amazing! I love that you can actually hear the guitar, as the original recording had Alex buried in the mix.

You actually added something to the experiences I've had with this song. Thank you!

WOW - this guy is the CLOSEST Geddy sounding vocal out of any Rush cover band EVER and I mean ANY of them. Nice job guys, can you tour more ? !! please ! easily the BEST Rush cover band there ever was

Chris- Every time i see this i am blown away by the music....its like you have been playing for 40 years like RUSH....Amazing.....you guys are the best ever... there is no other RUsh Tribute that can even touch you guys!!!

Rush are the best Rush cover band. These three come second. Loved it!

Finally a tribute band who also play the mid-80s era :)

Standing ovation ... BRAVO!

You guys are insane...The best Rush Cover Band in Galaxy.......

You guys are awesome! Great job.

Amazing job, my favourite era of this superb band. Sorely missed. Get yourself over to Britain.

Imagine how blown away Geddy and Alex would be if they saw this.

Synth sounds are awesome. Just superb.

Wow! That was THE BEST version of Marathon ever done by any RUSH Tribute band. FOR REAL! Does Geddy and Alex know about you guys yet? They should! You guys are truly incredible. A big THANK YOU for doing such an amazing and awesome tribute to one of Canada's greatest Rock icons ever. Take a bow!

Chris, i spend a week looking for Rush Tribute bands online... there is no band that can touch you guys or even come close, you are RUSH....you have set the BAR!!

One of the very BEST and tightest RUSH tribute bands i've ever seen, and i've seen many over the decades! Great work boys!

Of all the Rush tribute bands on the scene, their “Geddy” is unquestionably the best. Has the vocal range to hit the high notes from all eras of Rush’s catalog, plus the keys and bass chops

Well done from a lifetime Rush fan.

always amazing to hear you guys :)

I was lucky to catch these guys live this summer in Akron, Ohio. What a show!!!!!!!!! I was simply blown away. Would definitely like to see again in the buckeye state someday.

Superb version of a brilliant song..

Freakin' incredible. The spirit of Rush lives on.

Just saw you in upstate NY with my dad after growing up attending Rush concerts. We had an absolute blast. Thank you so much for sharing this music.

Wow, these guys are fantastic! I am hardly ever impressed by tribute bands, but Lotus Land is the real Deal.

Love the subtle snowflakes falling in the view from the Drummers Window in the early part of video. Forget about the heat.

You guys really nailed climax of the song!Thank God Rush lives on!

WOW - absolutely blew me away... superb musicians.... and that voice!! Just brilliant. I'm hoping this group is still around? Uncanny technique by the tub thumper...very Peart-eque!!!

Excellent, brings me back to when I first heard Power Windows, the same energy matched here, I love that album. Thanks Lotus Land, great job.

These guys are the real deal. I saw them 2 years ago at The Kate in Old Saybrook, CT. If you get the chance to see them, PLEASE DO!! They are THAT GOOD. ☺️

My favorite RUSH song, the reason I learned to play bass, so well done!

Outstanding !!!! The Best RUSH tribute band!!! Outstanding !!!!

Captured the feel, and the sound to the "T"! I really enjoyed this one fellers; THANK YOU!

This version in a few millimetres better that the original, its got a crispness to it, but these guys are just AWESOME.....thank you for all your hard work...😃😃👍👍
