Rush - Limelight (full cover by Brody Dolyniuk & Nina DiGregorio)

- Brody and Nina present their latest offering - a full cover of the popular Rush classic Limelight (originally released on the Moving Pictures album in 1981).
This idea began with Brody suggesting Nina add it as one of her popular "famous guitar solos covered on electric violin" series. Brody considers it a personal favorite of Alex's many great solos, and thought it would lend itself well to the violin.
Then as a birthday gift, Brody granted Nina's long-time request for a Rickenbacker bass guitar. It was a given that a Rush song would be in the near future. So, shortly after returning home after getting married in New York, the newlyweds began laying down tracks for the full song, with Nina on electric violin (a custom Mark Wood Viper 6-string model) and the Rick bass, while Brody played drums, guitar, synth and vocal.
Great care was taken to preserve the sound of the original recording....although the solo is played on violin vs guitar, and we obviously had to make do with electronic drums and plugin (virtual) amps and effects.
Brody and Nina took turns filming each other with an iPhone and the mix/edit was done by Brody in Logic and Final Cut Pro.
If you enjoyed our previous cover of Rush's 1982 song Losing It, as a tribute to the then nearly-departed Neil Peart, we think you'll also like this effort.
As always, a huge thank you to the holy trinity of Canadian rock, Geddy, Alex and Neil!

02:36 That violin solo was so f'n good. It deserves some kind of award !!!!
This had all the components necessary for me to loathe the effort: two people playing multiple instruments/tracks and mixing, electric violin, wearing Rush shirts throughout the desecration, etc. In fact, the only reason I clicked was because I was feeling snarky this morning and thought I would entertain myself and others with some sarcastic criticism. And then. You freaking crushed it. Just lit it up. Now I have to go to 11AM mass and repent....
Yeah RUclips threw this up out of nowhere. I thought- what the heck, I'm prepared to be disappointed. Boy was I ever wrong. This was simply outstanding!
The violin - reaLLYLLY ? BRILLIANT. That killed it for me. Thank you for such a tribute.
Check out their cover of losing it. Nina kills it on violin, just perfect.
Wow, that's a Power Couple! Rock on!
Amazing! Violin solo?!? Mind blown! You nailed it!
Watch their "Losing It" cover as well. She nailed the violin part in that song.
@@TheAgentAssassin Oh I have! That's how I found her in the first place!
Wait what...she played the solo with a violin guitar? That was amazing!
On a total different level. Absolutely amazing. Great job
As a Rush fan for 40 years, you nailed it!👍😁
WTF! That was fucking genius. What a tribute. I can tell they are your favourites. Just like me and so many millions who understand why Rush is so important in their lives. Looking forward to more! Thanks RIP Neil.
I’m entering my 40th year in show business and Brody in my opinion is the most skilled and versatile entertainer I’ve ever seen.
It does so much justice to the originals, yet lands it closer to the mainstream. Vocally Brody has the right tone to create a wider audience for Rush' music. Nina ads the right tweeks with those violin solos (yes that Wood Viper speaks volumes). "Losing It" certainly is one of the most significant songs so many discarded. Brody and Nina make it gel so well, it is absolutely magnificent. Luv it!
You didn't put a foot wrong, Nina & Brody. I've seen RUSH covers before, but yours is on another level - even your voice Brody, is not far off Geddy's - that's tight pitch. Nice improvisation with the six string & bow too, Nina - Hugh Syme would be proud. Phenomenal, both !!
Holy crap... the violin solo pushed it over the top. Is that a guitar/ violin? Mind blown.
Wow!!
Blown away at the studio musicianship of these two great talents.
Neil and the boys would be so proud.
Just a great rendition of a monumental Rush original
👍👍😜
brody is the most universal singer ive seen. from elton john to robert plant and even the canadian accented rush., his delivery is both perfect and kinda creepy!!!
Musically the best cover to date. Vocals are so fire also!
Real music 🎸🚀🍻 real talent Rush
Not only did you blow the doors off this cover you allowed the public to like I have seen in others feedback to open many people to the fact that that of true musical talent and the diversity of musicianship. Very rare in this day and age. . And as a follower and a former 80s bassist You both reinforced the essence of true musicianship , Thanks as it about quality
I needed that. Awesome. Thanks!
yooooooooo I did NOT expect the violin solo adapt. Just fire.... FIRE I says!
I did not expect Nina’s solo. Incredible. You guys do it right!
Wow my favorite song and this is just awesome!!! Love it. Yes that violin addition Wow !!!!!!
Ive been listening to Rush since their beginning and went to many of their concerts. Know every lyrics, notes and variations of their music even went to Neil’s house in Morin-Heights. This is the most masterful tribute I’ve heard of this unforgettable Canadian trio. Magic.

People always say "I can't believe RUSH is only 3 people."
Well here are two.😁
AMAZING JOB! The violin solo was a nice treat as well.
Not even sure Geddy and Alex could pull this off without a violinist and a drummer.
Yes... 😄 ... you'll notice them doing 7 or 8 different "parts." Crazy...

Impeccably executed.

That was totally killer! Been a Rush fan ever since my band opened for Rush in our high cafeteria in 1975 (John Rutsey on drums). Long Live Rush! 👊 RIP Neil 🙏🇨🇦
Whoa, you opened for Rush.
Bravo! Keep Rush alive! The best band ever!
This was easy to listen to, fabulous voice of your own but nailed it like Geddy Lee, Bravo both of you from my soul...

Wow! A great cover of my favorite band! Well Done!
So excited to hear you two tied the knot! What a great song to start off a new phase in making music and life! You guys did a great job on this song. Thanks so much for sharing.
This duo continues to amaze! That six string curved bridge violin instrument is very interesting indeed!
MASTERFUL. Rush would be proud.
Absolutely spot on. Brody is, as I've written before, a vocal chameleon like no other. Violin solo was also surprisingly enjoyable.
Incredible violin solo!!! Perfect! Best rendition I've heard of Alex's solo 😮
Getting on with the fascination of RUSH! Fabulous job once again! "Losing It" is brilliant as is this cover of "Limelight". Kudos to you both!👏👏👏
Wow! Brilliant bass! Not only is that an amazing likeness for the Rush frontman's voice, it's some really good singing too. Thanks for making and sharing. Really enjoyed this.
This was beyond awesome!
I salute you both and your amazing talents.
Really great cover, beautiful Rickenbacker 4003.
Best RUSH cover I've ever heard or seen! Both of you are incredibly talented! W-O-W !!
Best I have ever heard. Any musician knows how difficult this is. Major kudos for this accomplishment and the electric violin was genius.
WOW!!! AWESOME JOB!! Unbelievable you nailed the guitar part, drum part AND Geddy's vocals! The bass is flawless, coming from a pro bassist who's been playing this song for over 40 years! And that violin solo totally captured the feel of Alex's timeless lead! I'm very very impressed with your talent and dedication!
You just got married? I'm stoked for you! Hard to imagine a better match than two such talented people who can play THIS together! You are both indeed fortunate! Brody, I'm jelly! You found the perfect girl!
Hmmmmmm
Simply phenomenal
Great cover
Two great talents
You absolutely killed it
My favorite part was the beginning, the middle & bitter sweet the end
Nina on the mini plug in shoulder cello was freaking amazing
Alex Lifeson, Gary " Geddy Lee " & Cornelius Ellewood Peart " Neil Pie-art " would be proud
👍👌🤘🙏
Awesome performance!
OMG, what a stunning and tremendous cover of my all time favorite song!! Greetings from Japan🤘!!
Brilliant job and a surprise from Nina doing the solo! Sounds perfect!
An incredible cover ! All the instruments were spot on and the violin solo was just too much !
Awesome as always.....you guys are incredible!!!
Been a fan since '78 (Hemispheres). This was amazing! FYI your cover of Losing It = Also Amazing! Very well done!
Spectacular!
Wow! Great job. My favorite Rush song. You killed it!
That's the kind of interpretation I like, made with genuine Rush humility, bass is right on, and the vocals are so close to Geddy's for the pitch, the intonation and all it's subtilities... not to mention the violin solo! Love it!
My mind has been blown! Amazing cover. Extremely well done. The “professor” is looking down with approval.
Absolutely astounding!
Wow! Simply wow! Absolutely amazing. This has to be one of the best covers I've ever heard. Top shelf. Best 4+ minutes of my day. Thank you.
Great Job! Nina nailed Geddy's basssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss and Alex's Guitar soloooooooooo! Wow! Oh yea..and Brody nailed the drum parts and vocals! You should certainly be proud of this performance!!
Wow!, straight up wow! 🤘
Always amazed me how Alex got that violin tone ! Fantastic cover. Love the 6 string and the black Ric is pure class - please cover ''By Tor and the Snowdog'' your six string would really come into it's own on the mid section.
Thanks for doing this and ''Losing It'' was a fine tribute and Epitaph to Neil.
WTF??? Hands the best cover of this song I have ever heard...
Amazing 😍 totally... Limelight bedt Rush sound of my life 🎉 congratulations
Well I wasn't expecting the solo on a violin! Top marks!
Nicely done fellow musicians ❤🎉
Blown away. That solo on that thing was amazing!!!! Great work
That was freaking amazing!!! I have never seen Alex's solo on violin before. Amazing!!! BTW Limelight IMO has one of best endings in Rock....EVER!
