- YYZ performed at Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert. Recorded from the front row! It was a dream come true to see Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson on stage again. Not Rush, but still awesome.

Just to see Geddy and Alex playing together again ❤️🙏😎
Two tributes in one show
Omar Hakim is a legendary drummer and this is a great surprise. He didn't mimic the original entirely but put his own spin on it. He's a drummer more than qualified to do so.
I particularly enjoyed his cymbal work on this.
I was going to say something similar, but you beat me to it. Amazing job he did.
Agree!!
It must have been a blast being in Rush for a song or two. :)
thanks for the name I didn't know him
not bad. it's a treasure that we're able to see Geddy and Alex play together on stage again. This song still has my favorite guitar solo.
I really like it. Omar Hakim brings a new feel to the song! It’s very very very cool!!!!! It’s like slightly laid back and comfortable? Super cool!
Omar is LEGENDARY. No one can replace Taylor OR Neil, but we need to continue on. Omar is such a wealth of talent and experience. He is on of only a HANDFUL that could have pulled tis off.
Bull. I could.. and my know six other drummers who could easily do it. You are not in the know, or a player.
@@morbidmanmusic Respectfully...I am a drummer/musician who has played every genre for over 30 years. I am sure, if you say so, that you could cover this song with the Foos. But, knowing the excellence of Taylor, that Dave trusted Omar with this song?? I knew that it would be right. Peace to you and healing for all that you have lost!!
I saw Omar when he was drumming for Weather Report, he also was the drummer for Sting’s Dream of the Blue Turtle.
Not perfect, but absolute gold dust if you are a real Rush fan. Great to be there.
Far from perfect, but good to see them on stage again!
The slop is almost fun!, as they were so perfect for 40 years(?) - And they haven't played in forever, and never played with a different drummer.
Though I didn't love their later works, I would never give them shit for this "interesting" performance!
The live ones were never perfect.
@@MrFy2013 I dunno, man. Exit Stage Left sounds pretty damn perfect to me.
Alex was a little rusty, could have been the new guitar or loaned for the gig, but it's nice to see Alex and Geddy doing something together since Neils death.
Geddys voice sounds great here.
Alex and Geddy together again for a tribute for 2 great drummers.
Privilege to be there.So lucky to have the guys playing together
I am jealous!
Omar killed it! The man has rhythm !
Classy of him to not try and mimick Neil in my option. Nice tribute to Neil, but respectful. NICE
Awesome seeing Geddy and Alex onstage together again!
Omar is one of the most respectful drummers out there. He is a fan first and I’m sure he would agree with all of your comments. Legendary drummer
Thanks for uploading.
Glad you had a good time. So cool to see Geddy and Alex on the same stage.
Brought back a lot of good times.
Great noise for 3 guys. Love it 🥰
Thats Omar, Omar Hakim on drums... The Beast
He butchered it!! Great player, but not right for the part
I can't see them having much time to rehearse this together.
It was great. Nobody can replace Peart but Omar pulled it off fine for me.
Rush Forever !!!!
Amazing !!!!
SOUNDS FANTASTIC!
I loved it! Sounded more "jazzy". What a great drummer, so good to listen to. I love music! Nothing compares with original, but everyone has a "interpretation" of things - and it's better when authentical ;)
That was excellent and was great to see. Thank you for sharing this with us. I’m too emotional for words
Thank you!
Alex really digs the Omar groove at around 3:41!
Awesome guys love it🇨🇦❤️
Love Alex playing those pinch harmonics like on the record towards the end of the song.
That guy on the drums would be great if they were to tour again
If you are sad just remember that the world is 4 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as Rush.
AMAZING
That has to be the most intimidating seat in the world.
Brilliant Omar! 👏 ❤️
It's nice to see Alex and Geddy making music. The brother got skills for sure..it's different...but Neil put his soul into these songs..that's missing..but ,maybe a new evaluation of rush is coming
Awesomeness!!!!! I think Larnell Lewis should have played the drums on this. They let him hear YYZ for the first time back stage, then have him come out and play with the band. :D
Man, Omar's groove is ridic!
I think he played it like a pocket groove song and I wasn't a fan of his drumming style for this song. It was awesome to see Geddy and Alex playing on stage again for sure! Now go get Mike Portnoy on the drums and let's see a Rush tour in 2023
It's people like you who are the reason why I pray to the gods Geddy and Alex keep honoring Neil's legacy by not doing a Rush rehash.
My Dream : Lee, Lifeson & Palmer !!!!
missed the name of the guy on keyboards,,,must be strange for geddy to have someone else play the keys but a great job by all!!!
Was thinking the same thing.
Sounded like “Greg Preston”
Greg Kurstin, he produced the last two Foos albums
Having watched both the 2112 /working man and the YYZ performances, It is quite clear Alex and Geddy still have what it takes. However Dave Grohl( bless him) and Omar sounded a bit off. As others have pointed out, The drum kits weren’t quite correct to provide the cues and Dave particularly looked like he was struggling to keep up. Nice to see them both back on stage. I think they could do a Queen type revival, but I think they should look for an unknown drummer who maybe is playing in a Rush tribute band, at least this way, they will be fully conversant with the music.
Agreed, there are plenty unknown drummers on TH-cam who could fit the bill. I miss Rush so much 😔
We’ll, the kit obviously wasn’t equal to Neil’s, they had to work with what they had. It was passible, and I thought that Omar particularly was really good.
Whilst we all hold a candle up to Neil, there are few drummers more qualified to fill Neil's place behind the drum kit than Omar.
They aren't touring!
Omar is an absolute legend.
Man omar really put some groove into rush ✌️
I get a charge out of those who go on the comments and do a critique. Just enjoy it, guys.
Alex was a wee bit sloppy. Still great to see him and Geddy playing together again. ❤️
His arthritis has really taken its toll. You can tell he's in discomfort.
That's why they not touring no mo!
I think Alex might have had one glass of wine too many 😆😆😆😆
Omar is a monster on the drums, but you hear this and realize how irreplaceable Neil Peart is.
Give him a year, rather than a day...
@@morbidmanmusic you make sense. pure and simple.
Who’s the drummer!?! He did a fantastic job!
Omar Hakim, David Bowie's drummer.
Kate Bush's drummer. Sting's drummer. The list is extensive.
Omar Hakim - David Bowie, Sting, Herbie Hancock, Al Di Meola, and many many more
@@chrismnj Thank you!
Gotta love Rush!
Thought it would be a Bozzio…. Nice to see Omar again though
It's just not the same without Neil is it boys? 😢
Yes, it is not the same, nobody can bring Neil back and Geddy and Alex aren't touring either, so obviously a bit sloppier than in the Rush era but still.... so heart warming to see them play again (well, for me at least).
Are you even a musician?
Awesome
Drums were on….he just played it different than Neil. Omar has played on hundreds of hit records spanning every genre but classical. Neil knew enough to stay in his lane
Omar missed the memo, unfortunately. There is a very specific feel to this tune, and this is not it.
Opinion Piece:
Should Lifeson and Lee continue under the name "Rush"?
No, Rush was three integral individuals that made up the whole, the machine that was Rush. I would be disappointed if they ever referred to themselves as "Rush" again but I am pretty sure Lifeson and Lee feel the same way, so I am not concerned. Maybe they could do what Page and Plant did and maybe intersperse some Rush material into shows with mostly new Material? Maybe, just maybe. But it would never be "Rush".
One offs, tributes, etc. are double edged swords. While interesting and exciting for everyone, including the audience, we all know, there is a larger than life presence absence at the center of any stage that Lifeson and Lee climb onto. For me, its more bitter than sweet. It's like watching a ghost, its haunting and sad.
Omar Hakim was not just Bowie's drummer, he has been and is a highly sought after session drummer who has played on some major hit records.
Alex and Geddy have both stated in the past that there is no Rush without Neil. So no, I don’t believe we will ever see a reincarnation of Rush as a band.
Yes they should. After all, Geddy would joke that Neil was the new boy. And Rush started with other John Rutsey.
OH YEAH !!! 🌠 ALRIGHT !!!
Bell part of the cymbals at the beginning of the song is morse code for YYZ.
So cool to see Rush play live again but the drummer needed to practice more before he played with Rush..
I thought he did great. If he was good enough for Alex and Geddy to say "Let's jam with him" - then I think he's more than earned the role.
Agreed. The section immediately following the Morse code open was kind of pebbles tossed in the mud, all three of them landing in different spots. He didn't recreate Neil's fills in general, which is fine, but he wasn't providing distinctive cues for ged/alex, which is not fine,, so some of the transitions weren't very clean. I don't mean to beat up on him though. I was just really happy to see Geddy and Alex playing together.
That's Omar Hakim, one of the most respected drummers in the game.
Was Portnoy or Carey sick this day?
Omar Hakim sounds amazing.
This is like the funk rock version of YYZ haha
which the song deserves a treatment of
Best version without Neil. Omar adds his flavour to the song without over doing it and then retains some. Watch Alex after the 3:39 fill. Omar is so on point that Alex is totally blown away and turns to Omar. INCREDIBLE!!
Amazing. Effortless for Omar!
Hmm. . . this just goes to show what a tough act Neil is to follow. I think Alex and Geddy were quite nervous as they both seem to struggle somewhat. Perhaps a rehearsal might have been a good idea.Fabulous to see them play together on stage again though.
When playing with Rush - yes tough act to follow. I believe you would be SHOCKED to find out how many great albums you listen to which have Omar on drums. Omar is one of the most compete well rounded drummers ever.
At 1:11 am I imagining things... or is Geddy playing in a different key altogether there for a few measures???
It’s kinda cool to see them play these songs with different styled drummers. But I would love to see them play some songs with Mike Portnoy. He would do the songs well while respectfully honoring Neal.
Great to see the guys having some fun. The drummer is obviously technical but I dont think he knew rhe song that well and filled till he found the band again, not just a different spin. Also, more a upbeat jazzy style. Imo Mike portnoy would have been the choice
We just love the girl gnawing her 💅 @ 4:30 with a terrific view 👀but continues to chew 🤤oblivious to this jam, "What's YYZ", she texts Idk, silly human... 🖖 🤘chewed 2 fingers down to the knuckle🤘
First time I ever heard Geddy play out of key. Sounds like he’s sharp, probably a full step. It’s ok by me. No one is perfect and that’s the first one I have heard in 40 years so, carry on Geddy🙏🏻
Half step. He missed the 2nd fret and played the 3rd by accident.
@@Sheehy223 Right on👍🏼 Good catch🙏🏻
Shame they didn't have a few more tunes to play together … since Omar started to really find the pocket towards the end, it's not quite where Neil played, but it's still really cool.
Neil was made for Rush. No one better. Omar was made for all genres
Painfully slow :(
We're used to Rush live albums, which can be painfully too fast. Just sayin'
@@bradwest4821 Yes, I agree they are quite elusive for the average person xD
Like "have you even heard this song before?" Slow
Omar gosh
Hey at least Omar Hakim can play, Dave < Omar!
i fully agree. This song is powerful only with the right drums. This guy Omar did amazing. Not Neil, but close.
@@carltimmons3198 Yeah Omar is legit. Huge discography - including Dire Straits (Brothers in Arms) and Sting. Neil was a big fan.
@@mikefinn8414 Also on Bowie's Let's Dance
Dave is an entertainer, Omar is a musician, and both are very hard working individuals that are very, very good at what they do.
It’s awesome seeing Geddy and Alex back on stage again but you can tell they miss Neil 😢 the performance of a song they’ve played a thousand times is nowhere near as polished obviously
To me it sounds like Alex didn't even rehearse the old Rush tunes at all as he figured he has played them thousands of times so no need. But he'd never had a 7 year layoff - you could tell he was rusty, muffing the first time through riffs and nailing them the next time. At 1:10 Geddy plays that whole riff what sounds like a semi-tone sharp. This is probably the sloppiest they have played since before their first album came out. As a musician I forget songs if I don't play them for just a month so I can't say much - it's nice to see they are actually human :D Great to see them playing again.
yep ,, Ged was definately one fret sharp for sure ,, loved it anyways !! there will always be a special place in my heart for RUSH !! good on Ged and Alex for showing up to this amazing event !!
The drummer playing in 3/4 speed fucked them up.
@@JoSonDoOwns well you never know. Maybe playing in original speed may be worse choice for Alex. Just enjoy what we have… while it lasts
I heard this live and after 40 years of listening, I though I heard (gasp) Ged make a mistake. Oh, well they still rocked my world by coming together again.
I have seen Rush live many times since the late 70s. That´s the first time I have seen a screw up in a song. Then I say to myself - 1 mistake in 40 years, I set the bar high for Rush. Looking forward to the second tribute in the US. Wondering will they change the choice of songs or replace Omar Hakim.
Not quite Neil’s tempo, Omar.
Omar is a great drummer, but you can CLEARLY hear how import Peart was to Rush.
Bit sad to see Alex playing so bad☹️
Drumming is a hair off kudos for coming close
They should've got the dude from primus.
Omar too fast then slowed way down.
Necromancer!!!?
What a shame not playing Neil's masterful drum part. Sacr
Stop it fanboy
The only shame is that Taylor and Neil are gone, it’s a live TRIBUTE performance to two great drummers with two great drummers, grab your DVD if you want The Professor’s version.
Missing Neil Peart...
😃
I think Geddy and Alex would be the first to admit Omar absolutely outplayed them.
fast
Don't do drugs kids....
4:32 Let’s talk about the cutie so hungry that she started chewing on her fingers. I can only hope that she has since found adequate nourishment…
The drummer butchered the song.
Opinions vary
sorry guys, but omar owns this
Drummer I'm sure is great but he just was not quite grooving with it as he should have. Lacking punch and propulsion. Also a few minor timing errors throughout. Cool player but sounds like he did not put quite enough rehearsal into it - just too different from Neil's driving sound.
Considering Neil had 30 years and Omar had 5 mins…..give Omar a month with Alex and Geddy and you would change your tune
I know personally several drummers that would have done a better job of this - that "5 minutes" comment is exactly the problem, it sounded like he never encountered the song. This is NOT "jam" music, its highly orchestrated and if you are not going to take the time to do it properly - best to leave it to someone who WILL put in the effort. @@user-nv2gw1tt5o
Drummer had problems keeping up :)
Uh - no. He just played with his own twist even thigh I agree he should have played note for note. Omar Hakim has played on hundreds of hit records spanning fusion jazz, pop, funk, rock, metal, straight jazz….every single genre except classical. Neil stayed in his lane.
amazing drummer but as a life long rush fan I found YYZ a bit disappointing. I know YYZ between Rush and Foos has historical context, but I would have rather Dave stayed on the kit and played Spirit of Radio or something (in the event he couldnt handle YYZ). As amazing as Hakim is, the drums felt inappropriate and I think that was the reason why this performance seemed sloppy. Maybe Dave would have done better (if he simplified the drums if need be) since he is presumably a bigger Rush fan than Hakim. Or maybe just have swapped it out for Spirit of Radio or Red Barchetta, something simpler that Ged has no issues singing
lol... no
What a dud crowd
Not as good as Neil, Sorry.
Jeez, too slow, out of tune and off-key
I couldn't watch it all. Guitar tone is meh, drums are off, tempo is wrong. Geddy is the man. The other songs they did came out far better IMO.
Geddy and Alex playing a Rush song without Neil, will never sit right with me. Kind of disappointing
what other band would be humble enough to do this though? I honestly thought 2015 was the last time I would see them play live ever again.
For this, I'm fine with it. They were friends with Taylor.
you are missing the whole point of this performance then smh
Neil definitely would have approved.
I see no problem with this. The Foos and Rush were great friends. I liked it!
