Very well said. I was literally thinking something along those lines, hoping future generations would be as musically ambitious as these amazing musicians, then I decided to glance down at the comments, and read yours.
DAMN that was good. The whole band is absolutely top shelf, yet they need to be, as they're covering one of the greatest bands ever that was comprised of ONLY three musicians. Adding the legendary Mike Portnoy in for Neil and also that georgeous female vocalist with the sassy, edgy and buttery, Pat Benetar style chops singing Geddy Lee's part and sounding like him, was just amazing! BRAVO!! R.I.P. Neil!
Right? I mean, RIGHT on it. And obviously don't judge a book by it's cover. He looks like he's just some biker dude or something. WRONG! Master musician.
@@johnnyprovo7157 I'm a music nut, and I'm surprised I've never heard of him. That's one of the great things about following great musicians, they lead you to other great musicians.
Fortunately, it probably wasn't too bad for him. That kit had a pretty similar basic layout to the kits he used in DT, and most of his other post-DT prog-rock groups. But if YYNOT's drummer had been using a 1 to 1 imitation of Neil's setup, that probably would have tripped him up a lot more. Neil's layout from 1995 onward was a bit unorthodox.
@@generay6807 That has to be such a pain in the ass for lefty's, especially for gigging players who have to use house kits a lot. I'd imagine learning to play open-handed is a necessity.
@@Beefnhammer Ya. It’s prevented me from doing open mic nights or going up and playing a song or two. Over the years I’ve taught myself to play right handed, but I can only do it on easier songs.
LOL...Cant stop smiling...This was great but I cant help but notice how they were all looking at each other for the timing in the intro... The Geddy, Alex, and Neal didnt have to look at each other. They wwre telepathically connected. Best cover ofvthis song Ive ever heard. Portnoy just flat rocked out.
Amazing that’s the closest drumming and feel that I’ve ever seen to Neil. I’ve heard a lot of covers and there’s just that little bit missing but this was perfection. Just really fantastic
Portnoy and band, right on my man. Good enough to love hearing the song and different enough to miss Neil and the band. So many years since that song was created and we have enjoyed Rush for so long amd now it seems like it's flown by and those in my age group, mid fifties would love to have some of that time back. More than anything we are all very blessed with the time we have and to be blessed with talents to use them in that time. Mike I appreciate your talent and continued drive my man. Very cool indeed. Ciao 👍😉
I was just thinking that I'd have liked to hear it with the bass volume upped 10% and the guitar 20%, maybe more. Seemed a bit tame, and that had nothing to do with how it was being played. Having wished for a bit more aggressive sound before, I gotta say especially the singer made it really come to life. All in all a really great cover, you could tell already by the first notes.
This was playing in a background tab and I didn't realize it wasn't a live Rush version for about five minutes when I switched over to see. Fucking amazing.
I was lucky enough to be there, and I already got my tickets for this years show. Organized by Michael Mosbach, Neil's personal security, riding partner and friend this event features a lot of amazing musicians, all there to raise money for cancer research and celerate Neil's life through his music. There may be a few tickets left if you are lucky.
@@rhawk620 Nothing wrong with that, it’s just that of all of things he could’ve mentioned about her, he mentions that her ass looks great in those leggings
So Over The Top Amazing !!! .. You Guys have Proven that You are Worthy to play with Mike Portnoy and Play Rush's Music with him !! That performance and the Losing It performance both should be considered two of the Most Significant performances of this Bands history as it relates to Playing Rush"s Music !! ... Grand Slam Home Run !!
Para o Mike Portnoy participar YYNot não podia ser só mais um cover. Tinha que ser uma ode ao Rush, uma reunião dos melhores para fazer a mais bela homenagem.
I've heard of YYN before but never watched a video and tbh only clicked on this one because MP was playing, but now I'll be looking for more because this was excellent in every department.
Check out YYNOT's original studio albums, they will not disappoint! The 2022 album "Light and Shade" is a beginning to end masterpiece. They take many cues from Rush, but by the end of that album - you will realize they are certainly their own band.
Sounds great. I teared up a little when the singer came in with "we've taken care of everything". it's great to see Rush music and spirit live on after the band is gone.
Nicely done. RUSH is the band that you try explaining to kids when they say they have good music. I feel sorry for other generations who’ve missed out.
How unbelievably awesome! Incredible performance, and you got to do it with Portnoy. The music sounds flawless, and for me Patty is outstanding on vocals. She can pull off the edge and energy of early Geddy while still bringing her own personality to the stage. Yall are a fantastic band!
I know most fans here are happy to see Portnoy on the drums, even I like him.......I give a big shout out to Mike Hetzel, HE is my drum hero. And of course....Billy is my guitar hero, Tim my bass hero and Patty is a star.
Glad they have a female to do Geddys vocals. Like I was not expecting how hard she could sing his part. I was at first content at not having to hear an off key grumbly male voice. I was absolutly blown away by her sinigng and the drums. Glad he's repping Neil, too. shout out to the man above
I only got 7 concerts in. I have watch and learned all I could and still learning. GOD I LOVE THOSE THREE. IM 54, I WAS 12 WHEN DAD BROUGHT THEM HOME. I miss them so much. Thank you so damn much for continuing the GREATEST GROUP OF MEN THAT EVER MADE MUSIC and the ppl they were Michael J. Schenk Seattle, WA
Wow that was totally awesome! Great job. Portnoy does Pearts part just swell. And i trust a woman to do Geddy's part the best. Like Wilson did Plant's part in stairway to heaven which i thought was also great. Fantastic job ladies!
I absolutely loved this show, YYNOT were incredible as were all the special guests. I found myself getting very emotional for all the Rush songs. It was a bit of a bummer at the end the Mike had to split to NYC to meet is daughter, but was awesome that everyone else hung out to sign stuff. This is will be a highlight show for 2023 for sure.
Mike definitely smiling at Patty's Vocals. Great job by all. Cant wait to see YYNOT. Got to have that raspy high pitch young Getty Lee vocals to pull this off like no others can do.
THE SOUND!!!!! The engineers and crew need to be applauded. This sounds amazing. I can feel the drums and bass fly around me. The guitar is making my ears tingle. Wild
Holy Hell!!! That was one of the most enjoyable musical experiences I've had in a long, long time. The opening part to 2112 seems so incredibly difficult to get right, with the flowing guitar riffs, lightning fast transitions, and Geddy's stratospheric registers (his later live performances never managed to capture that energy, when his voice was suffering)... and they just killed it. When Patty's vocals started in, my jaw just fell open, and stayed that way through to the end! Chills, and goosebumps, the whole time.
This sent chills up my spine and gave me goosebumps..Spot-on awesome perfect performances from everyone on that stage. I really wish I could have been there to see and hear the whole show in person.
Hats off to this band and foremost Geddy Lee. This girl singer had to squat and sing her ass off to replicate what Geedy did for years while playing bass, foot pedals and keyboard at the same time. She nailed it note for note while simultaneously looking hot as fire. Every dude that's a Rush fan would marry her in a second because girls that are into Rush are rare. This lady is the unobtainium of the Rush Fan boy world.
I got goose bumps (many times) - I did. I got goose bumps like this the other day when Brit Floyd played Sheep too... Cover bands are getting unbelievable good in the last ten or so years and I do mean unbelievably.

This isn't just a cover... this is Rush preservation
Very well said. I was literally thinking something along those lines, hoping future generations would be as musically ambitious as these amazing musicians, then I decided to glance down at the comments, and read yours.
Only Mike can play with the same saund as Neil. All good, best Rush cover. Please mike keep Neil's genius alive
50 year Rush fan here. You guys killed it. Best Rush cover I've ever heard. Wept for a moment remembering Neal.
That's okay. Music makes me emotional also.
Neil
Amazing.
Absofuckinlutley brother me too I'm a drummer he killed it
Mike Portnoy Neil would appreciate it all brother

R.I.P. Neil!
That was the best I have ever heard any cover band play 2112, It was impossible to hold back the tears.
Pretty damn tight. If I had to pick a drummer to play RUSH it would be Portnoy. Great!
The instrumentation was great, the mix was good, everyone was unbelievable...but when that vocalist came in, I got chills. She's amazing.
Chills… you’re not the only one. Bloody hell!!!!
WHAT is her name?? Holy shit. She's awesome!
@@progdrummer78 Patty Pershayla
Have to disagree on the mix, bass way too loud
Why am I just discovering this now!They're awesome!No easy feat!❤
A great way to remember and celebrate Neil Peart's life. Thanks to all the musicians involved at this event.
For 6 and a half minutes I was transported back to 12 year old me in 1976. Thank you.
Right there with you
14 year me in 1976
The good Ol days.
I Was 7 Years Old...What Splendid Memories...
21 year me in 2112 👏
Even better with Portnoy, arguably one of the best drummers anywhere in the world!
The bass player's tone is freakin' killing it...
Right? I mean, RIGHT on it. And obviously don't judge a book by it's cover. He looks like he's just some biker dude or something. WRONG! Master musician.

I loved the Rickenbacker era for Geddy.
Awesome
Man I wish I was there. Literally a dream come true just seeing Portnoy play this.
This is my buddies band, seen them many times. Check them out with their regular drummer, he pulls it off quite well himself
Amazing performance by all. The drummer is absolutely locked in, love to see it
Ya I wish eh !
@@pauladenisecoutinho2203I reckon he should play pneuma by tool 😂
When she started singing I started to tear up. Nailed it. Brought me back to my teenage years hearing them play live. Thank you!!
I was surprised to have the same response
It's really good. I would love to see them...
The struggle of playing on a kit set up for someone else! Mike still killed it
Man I thought the same thing. I’m a lefty and I couldn’t do it

Ah this makes sense. I thought to myself, Mike can do better than this, seemed like too much improv. It’s not his kit or his setup. Damn good job
Love it
They are so, so good. Got to see them in a tiny Connecticut venue in Jan 2024 - very impressive.
God, I love this band, and Portnoy was a angel flying in for a layover.
LOL...Cant stop smiling...This was great but I cant help but notice how they were all looking at each other for the timing in the intro... The Geddy, Alex, and Neal didnt have to look at each other. They wwre telepathically connected. Best cover ofvthis song Ive ever heard. Portnoy just flat rocked out.
We had never played together and only had one run at it this song at soundcheck. Pretty sure even Rush had to look at each other the first time ;)
That is the best cover or 2112 I have ever heard live.
I was thinking the same thing. Perfection.
100% agreed!
The guitarist has Alex's phrasing down pat.
the 17 year old me just got the shivery goose bumps hearing this opening. Gosh, is that what I have played at my funeral? hahaha
Fantastic!!!! 🎉❤
Amazing that’s the closest drumming and feel that I’ve ever seen to Neil. I’ve heard a lot of covers and there’s just that little bit missing but this was perfection. Just really fantastic

Nice touch that Portnoy had Neil's name on the front of his #1 jersey and his own name on the back. These guys effin NAILED it!
Peartnoy!!!!🤘🏻🤓
@@marcustait79 much better spelling than P*rntoy hahaha
JUST WOW
Wow She nailed the vocals. So damn good! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘
That's not the only thing she nailed 🤣🤣🤣
Billy, this is absolutely spectacular. Such a killer performance and with none other than Portnoy himself. What an absolute treat!
Great editing and mix! Also, 2112 with Patty on vocals from the soundboard is awesome!
I was just thinking that I'd have liked to hear it with the bass volume upped 10% and the guitar 20%, maybe more. Seemed a bit tame, and that had nothing to do with how it was being played. Having wished for a bit more aggressive sound before, I gotta say especially the singer made it really come to life.

She's got some pipes. Can't wait to see you guys live!

Damn that was awesome! No insult to Mike H. , But Tim, Billy, and Patty, backed by Mike Portnoy on 2112, F'n amazing.

MY GOD! That was fantastic!!!! So...when are you in the Phoenix area next?!?!?!?!? WOW!!!!!
Ged hasn’t sung in that register since the 80’s, great job Patty! Oh, Mike was alright too I guess.
It makes you appreciate just how high Ged was singing back then!
Saw them 3 times when they toured Kings, Hemispheres and PW in the late 70s. Geddy's vocals were unreal back then.

Well, this was freaking awesome! The vocals gave me chills! Especially while focused on the killer sound from the players! Be proud fellas!
Absolutely brilliant. Solid Rush tribute with my favourite living drummer. What's not to like !?
OMG! What passion in those vocals. Seriously giving me goosebumps 👊
Well how about that!! We miss you Neil and who best to get to honor you but Mike Portnoy!! So awesome, thank you for posting this.
Wow. Absolutely stunned at the Honor paid to Neil-and she CRUSHED it! I gotta admit, I got a little choked up…
