I'm a year off 60 and I've been a music fan for my entire adult life. Most people don't understand how precious music is. I wasn't even allowed to listen to anything not song in Church until I turned into a rebellious teenager. Then I listened to whatever the fuck I wanted;. Rush influenced me and everyone I cared to know, Alex and Geddy are two of the best guitarists I have ever seen/heard. I didn't know Taylor at all, but if Dave Grohl left the percussion to someone else, he must have been a beast.

There are amazing drummers that can add artistry to the instrument in different ways. Dave is one of them. He has flair and a way to play behind the beat that adds to the music like few, if no one else, can do. They aren't in competition. It's different.

I wouldn’t mind betting Danny was near perfect on that… I feel with Neil’s passing he stands head and shoulders above the crowd… just like Neil did. In fact I would go as far as to say Tool stand in the same special category as Rush… a massive and dedicated following despite the lack of mainstream attention, exceptionally talented, deeply philosophical and spiritual to listen to.

​eil definitely passed the baton on to Danny on the way out. Even more touching that they were good friends

What I notice is how hard it seems for these very skilled drummers to play tracks that Neil delivered with such ridiculous efficiency.

You don't get a nickname like The Professor without being one of the best ever.

Dave is known as a heavy hitting drummer, but dam, as soon as Chad gets on there he's pounding them even harder.

Goose bumps when they walked out. Then I hear "I''m not crying, you're crying" on the video and then realize I'm crying too!

Danny is an astonishing drummer. It was like Neil was playing the song

Chad is the man on the drums Alex and Geddy make a great team..RIP Neal

You got to hand it to Dave, he did an excellent job! those are some huge shoes to fill and he tried and gave hiss all. And oh my God at their age to play and sound like that is nothing short of beyond amazing Geddy singing at the age of 70 like that Holy balls!!!!! Seeing them play again has the hairs on my entire body standing straight up and that girl screaming for them even adds more the excitement. I'll say it that Rush is the Mount Rushmore of all bands. Their dedication and surgical precision to everything is for all to follow and learn from Total Legends forever.

Holy .... Dave Grohl have created some epic moments with these concerts. Jaw dropping, seeing all three drummers play with their heroes.

We heard three fantastic drummers. And it highlighted even more how special a musician Neil Peart was. The way he played, no one can replace him. Rush's music was complete with him.

This put the biggest smile on my face knowing how much of a fan Taylor was of Rush it just makes me warm and happy.

So cool that Neil and Danny were great friends, extra cool that Danny filled in for his friend 🤙🏼

As great of a drummer as Daney Carey is, he didn't impress me with his YYZ performance. He messed up on the end of the intro, and also didn't do Neil Peart's signature ride cymbal pattern. As a Rush fan, I find that inexcusable. And I am a big Tool fan, as well.

What an absolute honour it must have been for Grohl, Smith and Carey to play with the two remaining legends of the greatest rock trio in history! RIP Neil Peart RIP Taylor Hawkins

Wow!! Danny is super great, but damn, Chad rocked his ass off!!

Of course it wouldn't be the same without Neil. Rush will forever be 1/3 Neil. But the entire meaning of these shows isn't about that. It's about love & life celebration for Taylor & HIS connection & friendship with all those artists. If Neil were still with us he would be there playing his heart out for Taylor.

What a fitting tribute to Taylor...Getting a band he absolutely adored to play for him ...Thanks Dave for bringing all of them together..This was epic and Danny Carey (the closest to Neil in terms of the technical excellence ) absolutely killed it ..

I could listen all night to Alex,Geddy and Chad ❤️

The way they did this lineup is impeccable. And the fact that Dave could even make it through one song bearing the burden of two passed drummers.. much respect. Danny though.. is the rightful heir to Neil’s throne, should Rush choose to continue. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Words cannot describe how amazing that was. Neil and Taylor would be proud.

What a treat! Geddy and Alex are two of the finest progressive rock musicians of all time. RIP Professor - a genius.

Holy crap Rush's back! Never thought I'd see this!! Obviously no one can replace Neal Piert but Dave Grohl, Chad Smith and Dany killed it here! Neil was so good it takes several drummers to actually complete a full concert!

Not touring has done wonders for Ged's voice. He sounds awesome again.

Something tells me this music will live on forever as long as there are humans around...

"Neil Peart, in my opinion, was the greatest drummer in history. Simply a virtuoso, an extraterrestrial, a unique being, and a precision machine with endless imagination for rhythm composition and execution. You will always be my ultimate idol throughout my life. Greetings from a drummer who knew how to admire a rhythm legend."

Rush are my literal heroes. I was devastated when Neil passed. I love the outpouring of love from musicians and fans alike. It's also heartwarming when you see elite musicians being fans as well. Edit to add: That screaming lady is my spirit animal 14:48 😭

The amount of great musicians we’ve lost the last few years. Neil, Eddie, Taylor….so sad.

RUSH is the best.....EVER! Thanks and miss you, Neil

Love them all but YYZ with Danny was awesome! R.I.P. Taylor 🥁 & R.I.P. Neil! 🥁😪
