    It takes a lot of balls to cover RUSH . Awesome job!

    Coming from a 40-year Rush fan, this was a solid performance. Y'all hung in there after the shaky beginning and did a commendable job. But my biggest kudos go to the singer. It is tough to cover Geddy. You did an excellent job. May your singing career go far. And big ups to the "crowd noise" gang. That put a smile on my face. Glad I clicked on this.

      Agreed. One of the biggest challenges I have noticed with young bands is keeping time at the beginning of the song and about a quarter to half-way through they synchronize with the drummer and sound solid from that point forward.

    The bassist reminds of Geddy in the 70s. Tough song to cover and they did great

      The genius of the School of Rock program is that the kids don't know what "can't" do. Have a look through my channel, and you'll see some other really amazing _Rush_ covers, like this one of _Tom Sawyer_:

    Speaking from experience, this is a hard song to screw up. My college band performed an unrehearsed version of this song at the end of our second gig. Whereas before we were getting muted "yays" at the end of our songs, when the audience heard us play this song, they freakin lost their minds. In a blink, we became a RUSH tribute band. This caused a lot of friction in the band as several in the band wanted to do other things, but our large and very dedicated following wanted RUSH and nothing else.

      @@whipsmartchris I truly wish, damn I wish. This was the 1980's. No internet back then and clubs had a serious problem with people bringing in cameras, big time serious problem. So many memories I wish could have been captured on video, like that night with the unrehearsed song. The genius of beeker, our lead guitarist. Kristen, our keyboardist, who did amazing solos. And finally, Heidi, our bass guitarist, who was smokin hot, and I think, the reason for most of our following ( it wasn't just guys that looked at her and drooled).

      @@The_Dudester Considering there’s some actual proof of the talent of these young musicians, is it possible you’re misremembering the quality and impact of that performance? We all do that, me as well. Could you be falling prey to that trap? Sparked by the envy felt at seeing such young people actually doing what you remember doing better? With such pride and appreciation?
