As a bassist, the complexity of geddy's playing is just unexplainable, not only the main riff, which is ironically the easiest part of the song, but all the fills he does and percusions, this is just insane. The technic and rhythm he has are on a whole other level, what an amazing band.

Just here on a Rush binge after hearing of Neil's passing. One of the greatest bands ever. Period.

As a lapsed Rush fanatic, I felt a bit guilty about my unfamiliarity with some of their mid-90s output, but Geddy soon erased all of that and exceeded my expectations once again. Rush was such a beast of a band.

The best bassist rock has ever seen and ever will see

The ending is possibly one of the most technically interesting things I have ever seen. Listen to the way Peart punctuates Geddy's solo, but not enough for it to be planned. Neil felt how that solo was going to play out, and gave Geddy certain accents, bars, cymbal crashes, etc in order to propel Geddy's solo. That's what gives that crescendo effect at the end. even during unplanned moments, these three still know how to position their dynamics to create a certain sound. Even the guitar scream at the end that transitions into the solo; all perfect. I love this band

Thanks to Rush for being the soundtrack to my life for many decades.

This is the kind of music that kids should listen to during music lessons in high school.

I admire how Rush quietly amassed a huge discography and a legion of worldwide fans seemingly without interference from the music industry or the vagaries of popular culture. They maintained an independence and dedication to their artistic vision over a long career filled with the pitfalls of success and the challenges of working life. Rush set the bar almost impossibly high. This one performance alone demonstrates an excellence few bands even dare to achieve.

He plays bass, synth pedals with his feet, and sings all at the same time. The guy is a monster.

Rush is bigger than ever. They are beyond the mediocrity world of Rock critics, beyond the “Rock & Roll hall of fame”. They reside in an eternal iconic state of excellence, all their own. The greatest (tester) of us all is time.... and time has proven RUSH the victor.

The thing I have to respect about Rush is unlike a lot of musicians who reach a high level and then rest on their laurels, they worked hard to become the best at their respective crafts. This is coming from someone who never really liked the band, but they really transcended into the premium power trio with insane skills.

Super chemistry, intelligent chords and insane changes in tempos between a drum player that is from another world, a bass player that is passionate about his bass and a guitar player that can make it sound like a fat lady singing if he wants, and the most important thing, no autotune needed. you can hear the years in Geddy's voice.
