It used to be that the drum solo provided a break, so concert goers could go and grab a beer or use the bathroom, but not while The Professor was in the house. This past Thursday would have been Neil's 72nd birthday, and his memory will live on in future generations of musicians and music fans. Rest in peace Professor. 🥁 🥁 🐐 🐐
This is one of my favorite live performances; that bassline is crazy! So intense and everyone is on fire here. There is nothing like watching Rush bring their music to life onstage (I only wish I could have seen them do it in person!).
Nice jazz hands Whimsy ! There's a great documentary out there on RUclips on the making of the Snakes and Arrows album. It also shows them walking in the woods near the studio & goofing around. I'm so glad we have such a long & varied legacy to call upon for this unique band. There'll certainly never be another band quite like Rush. xx
I got to see this live in Dallas. was amazing. Love the song. Then Neil played. Huge departure from his normal solos. and the ending with him just vibing along while playing really shows how he loved music. Great reaction.
@@PeterMcCracken-n3g awww thank you so much for the kind words. I remember being at a birthday party when I was very young. I was outside at night and heard some rock song for the first time and I froze, captivated by the sounds. 🤗🤟
Most will tell you to watch the Frankfurt, Germany concert drum solo, but once I heard/saw this one, it became my favorite! He was a magician with the sticks, feet, gear, & a wizard with his lyrics! RIP Neil!!!
That was a great surprise! Thank you! I think you are now ready for Natural Science live. There are a few live versions out there, but the one at the 1997/06/30 - Molson Amphitheatre, Toronto, Ontario Canada would be what I would choose. Thanks again!
TOTALLY FEEL YOUR emotions from it!!! I learned drums playing along with Rush/Neil back in the 80s.... SOOO much good music and lyrics!!! 1st Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.
Love your enthusiasm. Yes it came out POWERFUL. Why Rush fans RARELY recommend it. However let’s have the typical Rush fan recommend the FRANKFURT drum solo for the 10000 time. Lol.
Thank you, Whimsy. Yet another great drum solo by the professor. In case you are interested, there is a jazz style drum solo by Neil playing with the old band of Buddy Rich. I think it's called Neil Peart- Cotton Tail with drum solo.
Whimsey I dont know if you noticed the blah blah blah on Geddys tee shirt but that is a direct reference to Alex's famous Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame induction speech, if you like their sense of humor that speech is a must see. Heres a short two minute clip of the announcement of their induction that shows just how truly this band was loved and respected not just by the fans but their peers as well. ruclips.net/video/IK6dS15hq24/видео.htmlsi=uUMPnLCwh4kkpmcR
Awww Neil...there will never be another drummer like Neil ever....we miss you Professor🥹❤️🇨🇦
@@kimbarry4674 he left such an amazing legacy🤗🤟

Good times! 🎉
@@lindaward5376 its getting tougher to watch these videos, so much emotion. Passion, dedication, I just...😢 🤗🤟
Neil's solo in this is absolutely mind blowing, as usual. His creativity and skill is just off the charts awesome!
@@squidly2112 completely and totally blew my mind 🤗🤟

Lol I love jazz and old ragtime, its so bouncy 😂
I love these guys so much now. I can't get enough. Its like watching your favorite show

@@williamgrice4790 yes, he wasn't just a drummer. He was a one man show for sure!🤗🤘
Hi Mrs Whimsy, never loose that beautiful soal you have and the true love of music. You are a great human. Thankyou very much.
@@PeterMcCracken-n3g awww thank you so much for the kind words. I remember being at a birthday party when I was very young. I was outside at night and heard some rock song for the first time and I froze, captivated by the sounds. 🤗🤟
One of the most accomplished drummers in our lifetime Whimsy 👏👏👏👏 THE PROFESSOR IS BOSS 💪🇺🇸 🇨🇦
@@kevinmcgiffin10 and his playing brought me to tears. Such charisma and talent 🤗

TRULY one of a kind!❤
There is a great video of Neil playing "cottontail" with the buddy Rich at a tribute show. Great reaction.
Thank you! Someone else suggested that too
One of the greatest bass lines ever
So incredibly beautiful. Makes me want to pick up the bass again
Magical! My favourite Neil drum solo... and that's up against some pretty stiff competition, over the years!
Def the best I've ever heard🤭🤟
SLAPPIN THAT BASS !!!!❤❤❤❤
@@kevinmcgiffin10 slapping it good and hard 😆🤗🤟
You go girl. I love watching your face when the professor lets it rip.
@@shannonherb2048 this was so much fun to watch. I had no idea the true raw talent. Amazing lol 🤗🤟🥁
BEST SWING I'VE HEARD EVER ❤❤❤❤❤
@@kevinmcgiffin10 that was so much fun and unexpected lol

Thank you for the suggestion, ill def keep it in mind!!🤗🤟
Neil is a one man band ! The amount of sounds and tempos he produces in his drum solos make them more like a song than a drum solo.
I agree with you! He's not just a drummer

That's awesome. I played drums when I was a kid. I miss it😢
All his solos were great....thanks
Best I've ever heard❤
GREAT CHOICE WHIMSY 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
@@kevinmcgiffin10 thank you thank you lol WOOHOO 🤗🤟
There is only one Professor!🎸🤘🥁
@@glenngunnis6642 the one and only🤗🤟❤

You know Rush fans. 😊
@@joesixpack8305 yes I do.
I loved it all so much. They bring out the best in me🤗
Loved this one, love the jazzy beat!
Think that was my favorite part

Thats awesome thank you. I'll check it out🤗🤟
@@WhimsyMeadows Likewise 👏
Another great reaction 👍
I seen the second you got emotional....great stuff!
Thank you so much. I couldn't help it, so powerful!🤗🤟
@@WhimsyMeadows those African sounding drums along with the xylophone gets me everytime....looking forward to more great reactions.

@@Fred-vy1hm oh gosh, this lil clip brought me to tears... 😢 🤗🤟
@@WhimsyMeadows you're not alone. 😊❤️
Is that a Jaco Pastorius edition fretless bass Geddy is playing? Maybe one of you bass guitar geeks can verify?? I know he doesn't play it often.
Yes, I believe it is. You know the "origin story" of this song, right?
Makes me sad like you to see Neil having the time of his life knowing he is gone....
@@utubberize he def was in the zone wasn't he, this is what he was born to do
@@WhimsyMeadows I may send you an email hun
We expect to see some Neil sticks and some air drum action 😅
@@Simon-RucknRideAUD this was so amazing I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. Amazingly perfect in every way 🤗🤟
Heh generation z ers welcome to the world of real music!
All generations would benefit knowing these guys
Hey whimsy playrushes necromancer please your my favorite
@@SteveTurpin-g6j awww thank you. I'll add it to my list 🤗🤟
While my drum gently weeps?
@@joesixpack8305 I've never had a drum solo bring me to tears before
@@WhimsyMeadows you weren't alone Ms Whimsy.
Definitely not worthy❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ikr! That made my heart leap out of my chest and dance around the room 😆 🤗🤟
