"I can't pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend" - and I had this in mind when I briefly saw Neil Peart in 1989 or so at a restaurant. I stopped for three seconds and did a mini hands-up of praise and said, "Big fan. Have a great show." He actually smiled, but seemed relieved that I was moving along and not stopping for more. A publicist was getting up from a nearby table, but I was out of there before the gestapo moved in.
David King Why say such a thing? By all accounts of people who knew him he was a great guy. Not everybody wants to do the fan thing, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
@@clan4fun do you think that Rush, as a band, was so consistent and they pride themselves with playing the songs to perfection each time that we have become the same perfectionist critics with other band. I hope you find your perfect bass lines. As I drummer, I found mine. Sterling Fuentes on youtube is a God.
Your band knows this is not easy stuff to master-young people loving and mastering the songs that were made before they were born-cool. We all like quality
I have to give kudos to the female vocalist. She has improved quite a bit in the last year! Guitar is spot on dude! WOW... Drummer and bass are nothing short of terrific! I admire you passion a dedication guys. Great job and keep the amazing covers coming! Andy... Rush fan for almost 40 years now. Thank You!
Unbelievably excellent! Well done especially on guitar and drums. Bass was great too. You guys obviously rehearsed a lot spent a lot of time getting to know the nuances of this song and delivered an excellent performance.
Tahnee's vocals are PERFECT for this song! Wow, just a great cover. Soaring guitars, solid bass, great drumming. Can't get enough of this band. It's cool that my two fave Rush cover bands (TMDW and YYNOT) have female vocalists.
My absolute favorite song of all time. I can’t play this song enough times. Guitarist nailed the clean chorus and the solo (especially the whammy drop in the G string to high pitch note on the E a la Lifeson) perfectly. Drummer is spot on. Bassist nailed it although would love to hear more low end and more punch to get Geddy’s “Ric” time. And the singer...she’s phenomenal.
Absolutely brilliant. This girl captures even the smallest finesses of Geddy's singing, including the ability to somehow sing without breathing. So impressed, wonder what she is doing now?
This formula works. The balance is amazing. Bass and vocals seem better while shared with two musicians achieving a richer fuller production. Cheers to you!
Love this song, it has so much atmosphere and you all nailed your parts, it sounded complete. The passionately delivered vocals really brings out the wonderful musical accompaniment. Bravo.
Wow, you captured all the feeling that this song demands, my congratulations especially to the guitarist, who captured very well the chords of one of the best works of Alex in the band, and the vocalist, who even reminds me a bit of Geddy himself face! For me, the best cover of yours so far! Brazilian greetings to you!
Another brilliant version of this Rush classic!! The sound was well balanced and the singer has a really good voice, too! Great to see more young people keeping the spirit of Rush alive! Big congrats to you all!
Once again...awesome performance! I am truly amazed how ALL OF YOU can harmonize; keep tempo; and syncronize as good (maybe better) as the real Getty Lee; Alex Lifeson; and Neil Peart! I am very happy to have a new "RUSH" for the 21st Century! Looking forward to when you start doing Tours - I really want to see you guys Live.
I happened upon this cover band and was amazed at their rendition of Limelight. Being a huge RUSH fan I immediately subscribed! You guys nailed this tune in every way possible.
The editor had a great feel for the action. Great sound and performance. Band deserves to be on the Casino and Festival circuit as well as doing other concerts. Great job all around.
BlackmoreRules we're definitely working to become a part of that circuit, thanks so much for checking our new video and hopefully you can make it out to another show!
I live a day away from Vancouver, but hopefully you'd be playing when I'm there. The band is ready for prime time, so venues should come knocking. Hopefully Working Man and Anthem will be on the set list, if they aren't already. I'd say you could switch the words to Working Girl, with a girl singer, but somehow I don't think that would work, lol.
Excelente!!! LIMELIGHT é a minha música preferida do RUSH e foi a primeira música da banda que ouvi. Isso foi em 1981, eu tinha 13 anos e me apaixonei pela banda. Bom trabalho turma!!! Excelente cover!!!
Playing music and jamming is fun. Playing something you love and nailing it is pure adrenaline. The concentration it takes is demanding, joy is contagious. Waiting for the next song already, I am left wanting more.
agree with your sentiment... playing a song like this is dedicating 4 minutes (+/-) of your life completely, and unadulterated to the task at hand - i think its like what they say about racing - time spent racing does not count against ones allotted lifetime - love the way you guys hit it...
I've commented on this video before, and here I am again a year later?...... I want to say that I have experienced dozens of videos on youtube of many different quality tributes being paid to this song, and of what I have seen, outside of Rush, all other considerations being put aside, the vocal performance here is simply the very best.
Californian here. I know I'll never see you're band because you're so far away and it's super expensive for a band like yours to tour to us below but...i can still daydream!
Wow amazing performance! I'm a very big Rush fan from the Netherlands. I really like these covers!! Immediately checked your website. Such a pity for the distance as I really would like to see you perform on stage. Keep up the good work. Gonna listen more of your songs, Rush rules as well as Canadian music. Love from the Netherlands to you all !!
Wow you all did an astonishing job! What a solid cover performance! I really enjoyed this. Definitely the best I've seen compared to anyone else other than Rush themselves..
Found this while searching for acoustic covers of this track and was curious. I really dig the joy you guys put into your playing. And the fact that you have a woman singing shatters all the myths that RUSH only appealed to dudes. You guys crushed it! Good luck!
First cover I have seen from you and I am impresed. You all seem so young but obviously have great musical taste and talent. I have subscibed and will definatly check out your other covers
love the singer's natural voice range, right on key, no fakery, no falsetto, etc... Good job you'all... "Time stands still" for RUSH music...

A publicist was getting up from a nearby table, but I was out of there before the gestapo moved in.
He doesn't want to interact with fans in anyway. I'm surprised you got a smile from him.
He's paranoid
David King Why say such a thing? By all accounts of people who knew him he was a great guy. Not everybody wants to do the fan thing, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Well done. Respect.
Modular Landing then maybe don’t put yourself front and center in the public spotlight.
I love the perfect clarity, passion and diction of the singer Great job all of you.
Finally a limelight cover where the guitarist actually knows how play the damn song. Amazing cover to one of me favorite rush songs of all time!

agreed
i give up finding a correct bassline.... in the first octave G#, that NOBODY uses, i simply think.. ok, just another one.
Dude seriously, this guitarist actually has the Alex Živojinović schtick to a 95% proficiency… which is praise by the bucketfuls!

this song introduced me to Rush. been a fan since
Okay even so long ago... I got me some chills
I have to give kudos to the female vocalist. She has improved quite a bit in the last year! Guitar is spot on dude! WOW... Drummer and bass are nothing short of terrific! I admire you passion a dedication guys. Great job and keep the amazing covers coming! Andy... Rush fan for almost 40 years now. Thank You!
Andy C Thank you very much! Many more covers to come, we're grateful to have you listening!
been a Rush fan for 40+ years, this is the best cover i've ever heard. Bravo.
You need to listen to New World Men.
I really enjoy your covers of these amazing Rush songs and you guys really do them justice!!!
I've been a Rush fan since 1981 and this is my most favourite song. Thanks for this amazing cover. It's the best I've ever heard!
So. Perfect. Tears in my old eyes...
great singer. She hits her notes like a technician. Perfectly.
Great job. Unbelievable this song is 40 years old. What a treasure.
Unbelievably excellent! Well done especially on guitar and drums. Bass was great too. You guys obviously rehearsed a lot spent a lot of time getting to know the nuances of this song and delivered an excellent performance.
Wow. You guys CRUSHED that! 🤟🏽
Good cover.. Keep rush 👍🎉
Really good cover.. Everybody played their part well and the singer has the perfect range..
Oh man! I love her!
The fact that you are all wearing Rush shirts makes this so much cooler! Amazing cover!
Tahnee's vocals are PERFECT for this song! Wow, just a great cover. Soaring guitars, solid bass, great drumming. Can't get enough of this band. It's cool that my two fave Rush cover bands (TMDW and YYNOT) have female vocalists.
Limelight is definitely my favorite song from rush which your band has nailed it spot on.

You are a rad bunch of musicians!
Bravo 👏, you nailed it!
Absolutely brilliant. This girl captures even the smallest finesses of Geddy's singing, including the ability to somehow sing without breathing. So impressed, wonder what she is doing now?
Fabulous
I cannot believe how flippin' good that was. AMAZING!!! Good job!
This formula works. The balance is amazing. Bass and vocals seem better while shared with two musicians achieving a richer fuller production. Cheers to you!

Wow! Her voice fits really well yo the song. Great cover! 🤙
Wow absolutely brilliant .
That was bloody good, one of the best Limelight covers I’ve heard
Outstanding cover. Note perfect instrumentation and like the lass's vocals.
Absolutely amazing ..Sounds just like Rush and she hits the notes dead on.
Chills...
The good kind.
You guys do Rush so much justice.
Awesome!!!!
Bravo!
Very talented !⭐️⭐️⭐️
That was real quality! One of the most difficult bands to cover convincingly yet you nailed it. We are merely players indeed...
Love this song, it has so much atmosphere and you all nailed your parts, it sounded complete. The passionately delivered vocals really brings out the wonderful musical accompaniment. Bravo.
Wow It's a perfect voice and wonderful singer. I love Rush, I love your band. 😀😍
Eli. Inglês thanks so much for checking us out, hope you subscribe for more coming soon!

WOW! You guys are truly amazing! Very impressive! I’d definitely pay money to see you guys play!! Keep up the great work!!
Something stoic and mysterious in her voice and style. Great job
Nailed it, especially the solo! Bravo!
Once again...awesome performance! I am truly amazed how ALL OF YOU can harmonize; keep tempo; and syncronize as good (maybe better) as the real Getty Lee; Alex Lifeson; and Neil Peart!

Bravo...Moving Pictures absolutely changed my life as a kid. You captured a lot of their spirit in this rendition...brought a smile to my face.
I like the singer's style, not so boringly melodic but enunciating each line. Great musicians!
By far the greatest cover of this song on RUclips! Thank you!
Great job. Everything hits the nail. Perfect cover.

Sam Collins rest assured there are many more videos to come, thanks so much for checking out our covers!

Great job! I've listened to Rush since 1978 and you captured a lot of recording details that add the cherry on top. Super!
Just fantastic!! And I love the female singer vox. Outstanding job!!

blaze shark so happy to have you check it out! There are many more videos to come over the next months from this session, stay tuned!
NAILED that change from solo to riff!
Marc Armstrong we're lucky to have him as our guitarist :)
Hell yes. Love this. And love the close-up on the singer. Wow, she is talented and lovely. Oh, and so is the rest of the band -- talented that is.
Elmo Blatch thanks for watching our video and your support!
Outstanding! I remember playing this (along with Spirit and YYZ) with my band back in high school in the 80s....

Beautiful voice, great rhythmic section, and wonderful execution on the guitar part. Superbly mastered for an amateur video! Keep it up!
