has anyone noticed how neil has managed to give a lesson on mars without anyone realising and without protective gear, he is a god
You were not supposed to tell anyone.
Neil controlled the atmosphere around him. Common knowledge.
Best comment.
I have been a rush loyal rush fan since I first heard villa la stragiato. My favorite song then and still my favorite rock n roll song to this day. Neil peart was obviously man way ahead of his time. His writings , lyrics and his out of bounds drumming are a test to that. He wrote about subjects 30 years ago that are just now coming out of the wood work. One of the best bands to experience live. I feel a void or hollow spot in my heart since his passing that will never be filled. He has touched many others in the same way. God bless his soul he will never be forgotten
NASA does shoot their mars mission on earth so astute observation even though it was a joke
Miss him already 😭
Chase Gleason so do i
Thomas Gibson don’t we all
One year already
Im 57,been drumming most of my life because of Neil, Not ashamed to say I got quite choked up on that day, some friends didn't really understand that
Same man I’m 25 and straight up cried he’s the reason I started drumming I wasn’t expecting it to hit me that hard.
Don’t be ashamed……we were both choking together.
I am right there with you, buddy. I was enjoying spirits at a bar with friends when I learned of NEIL's passing. I was devastated. A few of my friends already knew and, they were also upset. It dampered my evening. I am not a musician but, I was floored by his talent. The man never took a play off. He one big reason why RUSH is my all-time favorite band. He is a rock and roll legend. #RIPNeilPeart #TheProfessor 💖
Man this ones gonna hurt for a while rip legend Neil 😢
In surprised I haven’t heard more regarding the weight of the losses of two of rock’s greatest maestros in 2020 (Neil and Eddie).
Takes me down right now watching this, man. Wow. Still stunning a year later.
The perfect band mate. Perfect gentleman. There will never be another Neil Peart.
I'll second that!!!!!
I could listen to him talk about his music all day long. Extremely smart fella!
me too even though I don't know what he means!
Mind Controlled since he lived in GB....and after the OWL-album...so this motormouth is totally brainwashed by THEM. Famous has it´s price....
Amen to that
i couldn't agree more
Derek Bodenshot
Extremely smart, extremely talented, and a great song writer as well. I don't recall many drummers having these amazing attributes.
The only other ones I can think of off the top of my head are Phil Collins and Don Henley.
An unforgettable drummer and an unforgettable man. RIP.
Neal is just a class act, as are Geddy and Alex. One of my favorite lyricists, and by far the greatest drummer on the planet.
I'm only 22 years old but I grew up listening to Rush and many other older/similar bands bc of my dad listening to all of them. Even with today's younger musicians I consider him the best drummer of all time.
"It's a feast to play"- Well, Mr. Peart, I have had a feast for over 30 years, watching and listening to Rush play this song. Thanks for such an awesome song.
The man is a genius, period.
Exactly.
I saw a video masterclass of his where he talked about feeling like he wanted to step out of his comfort zone, to improve as an artist. Kill me.
He found a jazz drummer who basically said, "You're doing it wrong.". Neil listened to this guy's ideas, and like 2 weeks before RUSH was going into the studio to record an album, he changed the way he played substantially. In the studio, Geddy and Alex were stunned by Neil's more fluid timing (more like orchestration than a metronome), and it led to a more creative recording process.
I'm leaving out tons of detail, but the idea that the greatest artists are constantly searching for that next hill to climb was not lost on me. Never lose your curiosity. Never get complacent. No matter how good you are, you can always be better. Do it... :)
To me,I love Neil's playing because it is like he speaks on his instrument. He starts and finishes sentences through his playing if that makes sense.Like speech,he has built up his vocabulary on his instrument to be able to speak more articulate and intelligent.Never be another like him.
ugh... this one is hard... so deeply appreciative of everything he did and stood for.
No words are sufficient...we love and miss you, Neal
It’s a joy to listen to him playing, even without the rest of the band! What a truly unique player (and a fascinating speaker too). So sad that he’s gone.
Rip neil. You will be missed. One of the greatest ever.
I'm crying. We will never hear a sound like that that again
I FEEL SO BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE THE GREATEST DRUMMER THAT EVER LIVED PERFORM LIVE, JUST A FEW ROWS AWAY FROM ME.
my 1st real concert LA the forum fall of 79...opening was 38 special...they did a great show...then rush...and ...i was 14 seated so far up the band resembled ants...but the music these 3 talented guys put out just floored me....the professor emeritus of all things percussion.an absolute genius who was just on a level far above most who take a seat on the drumkit,..RIP NEIL!
btw...i will call this venue....THE FORUM...despite it having been renamed ...also..in san diego....JACK MURPHY STADIUM.. i dont even pay attention to all the sellout advertising....qualcom...staples center etc...never thought iconic places that had an original name given should be relabeled for the sake of ad revenue....!!!
He’s on another level.
What a brain . Every time that we lose someone who is the best in the world in their profession, The loss leaves a vacuum to be filled. People like Einstein, Hawking, Elvis ect. only happens in about every third generation or so. I think this vaccuum will remain unfilled for a every long time. RIP Professor.
I'm still mourning the loss of my idol. Man does this one hurt.
I had no idea how complicated drumming is. Neil is the best in the world.
Not sure if he's the best in the world, but I'd stuggle to name a more influential and inspiring drummer. In fact I would go as for as to posture that Rush invented 'prog rock'. Gavin Harrison is another stunning prog. drummer...
Yes and Pink Floyd are considered Prog Rock, but Rush is better than both.
Nicholas Hall
erm... Prog-Rock first started in the late 60s England. Many argue King Crimson's Court of the Crimson King was the first "culminated" prog-rock album.
Nicholas Hall
Rush didn't invent prog rock King Crimson was I think the first prog rock band but Rush perfected it.
TheKevlar4
You're right of course, I totally overlooked King Crimson...
I listen to Neil and am awe, then switch to sadness, then awe.
Neil, you're a musical genius.
Rock on fellow Canuck. 🤘🤘🤘
I forget how much I miss this band until I hear them again.
I LOVE this man's intellect & talent...& I've been SO sad since I heard the news this morning.
RIP Neil, you're a legend.
It's crazy that Neil is mentioning that the goal of a live show is to meet the studio performance. My first concert was Rush Signals and I was amazed at how close the live was to the recording....
BINGO! that's what I've always gone to shows to hope & see the accuracy of live vs recorded.
He has such a cool speaking voice. He would be great as a radio personality.
This is the first time I've ever heard him speak. Truly smart and calculated in everything he did. The drumming world will never be the same.
Second song I learned from Rush after Tom Sawyer! Easily my biggest influence for drumming and in my opinion the greatest and most influential drummer of our time. The man paved the path for millions of young aspiring drummers such as myself and it is a HUGE loss in the world of rock, drumming and just music in general. I feel like this type of music will soon be lost unless we can find more such great people to keep it alive, but I really hope we can bring back the age of such great music.
Great musician and such a composer of originality - miss you Mr Peart xo
What a wonderful soul. Smart, talented beyond comprehension and incredibly humble. We miss you Neil.
i feel smarter and more musical just listening to him...
Peart on the band playing the song for 30 years "exactly the same because it's always great-- for us".
Us too, Mr. Peart. Us Too!! Just promise us you guys will never stop playing!!!
Looking forward to seeing you May 1, 2013 in Nashville!!!
I wish they did one of these about subdivisions. That would of been great.
Did you get the DVD? It’s 6 hours long. Maybe “Subdivisions” is on there.
Subdivisions is in there.
Why don't you buy the DVD?
For drummers is really cool, a lot of great stuff by Peart.
@@alanpartridge4681 I did, and I recommend buying the streaming version instead because it is better quality. This clip here is much more HD than the DVD.
Neil Peart is a DRUM GOD !!
WAS
IS !!!!
Neil Peart was a a drumming genius! God I miss him!
Even if I were half the man of Neil Peart I'd still be a whole man.
heheh, dude, your humble make you a great man, congrats, you are a whole man rigth now, :D :D
The same applies with drum kits
Oh ... your comment makes you better than half the man ... I'd say you are at least 3/4 or even 7/8 ... and that's WITH a swing feel!
Rest In Peace brother I have been watching nothing but videos involving you for the past 3 hours you will be dearly missed
What an amazing human being. The world is less without him.
One of the MOST articulate musicians...of anything; the fact that he's a world class drummer AND writes the lyrics....incredible. And if you've ever read any of Peart's books...he's a hell of a writer also.
I so miss him. I missed the last tour, and I'll never get to see him play again. 😭
Peart is one of the few drummers that I listen to in the music. He's changed drums from just keeping the beat into an orchestral instrument.
Thank you for helping me drive my parents and all of my neighbors insane with Moving Pictures...R.I.P
Always enjoy listening to the professor speak. There are so many masters of a craft who are no longer here with little to no record of such. So thankful for the recordings we DO have from Neil and other craftsmen who passed in 2020.
I'm autistic and have no musical ability whatsoever, but if I had any talent, I would have been a drummer. Neil is the consummate drummer. The man actually WAS a genius, in a field where that term gets over-used, but in his case, he was very interested in science, technology and science fiction and had a very substantial grasp of all of it. His lyrics never cease to delight and amaze. All good wishes to the band, Neils' family, friends, and fans.
you still an be who says that you can't?
I would venture to think that you do have musical telant if you can understand the methodology of drumming espspeachly given by such a talented musician .
@@Keith-bs6wz Thanks the fellows work speaks for itself. Yes i play a few instruments, wrack my brain trying to keep up with the score. lol I knew a really fine studio percussionist Canadian, Jim Watts also a hell of a great dude.
@@Keith-bs6wz made my comment the way i did to give a nod to Mr. Peart's scholarly way of speaking.
@@megaluckydog1212 yes ;)
The Man, The Professor, Geddy Lee is an amazing talent also, Vocals, Bass, Keyboards, writing! Neal is Known as the Best, Geddy Lee is majorly Underrated!
PEART+LEE+LIFESTONE = GENIUS
Man watching this video just makes me feel like he’s still with us in a physical sense.
Thanks Neil for your life ! You will be missed (((((( RIP
Iconic drummer, Iconic band, Iconic songs...
I could listen to his knowledge of the drums all day every day! Just imagine all the wealth of knowledge in his mind that we lost in the drumming community when he passed away 🥺!!! GOD REST HIS SOUL❤
I love listening to Neil's voice...and his playing!
How can anyone not have respect for this man and his talent?? Then, he’s still humble to get lessons in the 90s. He’s awesome! Not to be duplicated.
NEIL HANDLES THIS PROBLEM AS A TIME KEEPER....AWESOME...
what's not to like the prof on drums and telling his tale ....quality!
Neil's sense of timing was phenomenal.
The Master! Love these vids. Very cool to watch
2:47 "...we're really trying to be as good as the records every night" That's one of the many things I love about Rush and especially Neil Peart vs. Van Halen and some others I saw live who really stray from the sound and tempo of the studio track. Not the case with Rush
MrAitraining, god only makes a few of these types of humans
It's all a matter of style. If the guys from Rush think that the best version of a thing is the one they put on record, then they're entitled to go for it that way if they want. A lot of bands evolve their music through live performance over time, the songs get better and sometimes morph to fit the artists' sensibilities as they get older. I don't find anything wrong with that, either. To me, the only thing that matters is that I'm getting 100% effort.
He is one of the best drummer from the old school alive.
RIP Professor. Will always be the GOAT.
When you listen to him talk he's not just the greatest drummer of all time he is the driving force of Rush not taking away anything from Geddy Lee or Alex lifeson but if Neil Peart wasn't there they would not be a Rush he is the driving force and I don't think still today there could be another drummer greater than Neil Peart or ever will be
Hudson Music always putting out the best quality.
Thank you for everything, Neil.
An absolute legend. He was a "lead guitarist" on drums. So detail oriented and spot on time. He will be missed. I still remember the moment I found out his poems and writings were the lyrics for Rush. It took Subdivisions to a new place for me.
They say he was a shy man.. but when you ask the right questions, he sure could open up.
Neil is the Man of wisdom and integrity that every human being
Should aspire to be. He is called the Profrssor
I own this DVD. It’s brilliant. We miss you, Neil. Thank you for everything.
Who would put a "thumbs down" to this video? One could only imagine those of you with your thumbs down are reaching for an unusual choice of their own anatomy... that, or perhaps it is out of personal frustration for their own lack of ability and patience to practice properly or adequately, thus just resulting in another of many personal failures. Here's an obvious "secret" regarding real musicians versus those who become frustrated after failing to learn a song that goes beyond the scope of the classic beginners "Rock 1" 4/4 time signature... One must put in as much time as it takes if your going to rise above the goal of mediocrity to master. Those of you who are truly dedicated... Never Give Up !!!
My apologies if this came out as harsh. Musicians including Neil Peart (many consider to be in the class of "World's Best") have an understanding that learning and practice are all part of the journey to continually improving one's skills. Seriously, here is a man, already held in the highest regards by so very many amateurs and professionals alike, who took the time after decades of success to look at his style and say "I can do even better" (I reference those of you not familiar with this topic to checkout his experience learning and improving with Jazz legend and Instructor of many Great Percussionists, Freddie Gruber) + (Of what might also be of interest is Neil Peart and his contribution to the 2008 Buddy Rich "Known as The World's Greatest Drummer" Memorial and Tribute Concert in NYC)
+Mi911S No matter how good you are.....No matter how much you contribute....There's going to be critics and the small percentage who just dislike anything to be different.

+Mi911S WTF are you talking about? Keep smoking that wackey weed.
+ryan49er1 Thats true. I think some people click thumbs down just for the heck of it. If you ask them the reason, they wouldn't have one. Go figure.
+Mi911S 35 people have been blinded by the Limelight, so let Neil guide you!!
I could listen to him forever
Truly, THE Professor!!!
Great upload, thank you. I could genuinley listen to Mr Peart taking about and give drumming lessons all daY. iMAGINE the memory it takes to remember hundreds of fills in perfect timing = wow.
I just thought of something in examining the Professor’s last name: the first that caught my eye 👁 was ART- artist, artistic expression in both music and lyrical content. Second: PE as in physical education as in the Stamina it takes to play drums and in particular at a EXCEEDINGLY HIGH LEVEL!!! So we can deduce through his last name that we have an ARTIST in every sense of the word and Physical Education in terms of stamina and physicality to play at level that boggles the mind and soothes the Heart! Rest In Peace Professor there will never be another like you!
Sincerely,
Gary
I wonder if Neil has ever considered doing some sort of sci-fi radio show. I think his voice is perfect for radio or news or really anything. Could you imagine Neil as the voice-over artist for movie trailers? "In a world..."
The one and only I'm a drummer 65 years young Neil is the influential artist in my life player wise and lyrically Rest in Peace Professor
He mentioned something I always loved about Rush. Every concert was always as good as the album. There were few variances and if there were, they were great and added to the track.
Those cymbals sound sooo sweet.
no matter how many awesome drummers you've seen already you just can't get around loving each and every note this guy plays
God Speed Mr. Pert. We were blessed during your time.
Is he on Tatooine?
Cygnus
Yes
Death Valley National Park actually :)
yup
Looks like he is in front of Artist Palette in Death Valley
They always claimed Neil was shy, or didn’t like dealing with people but he’s such an incredible interview.
Has anyone ever sat down and explained anything so well?
truly one of the best of any genre
Wow! Just hearing him talk just shows how talented and gifted this guy is. Man is total in charge of what he says and does!
The reason why he is the greatest drummer of all time! All hear and watch and LEARN.
Still working through the disc 7+ hours has lots of woodshedding, I bought it Wednesday and love every second of it. Cheers Neil, and thanks for being so thorough, this way you can keep your privacy while you answer nearly every question I had. Thanks Hudson music for coordinating this!
What a nice guy. We miss you Neil.
I can't read music. I don't have the technical knowledge to understand everything he is saying. But I absolutely appreciate the skill it took to make the end result. Rock on Neil!
You need to see Rick Beato’s “What makes this song great?” A great breakdown of Limelight & shifting time signatures.
Huge peart fan, so-so rush fan, bought this as a self fathers day gift, wow, the whole DVD is drum set view and feel, one of the best DVDs I've seen, lots of interviews but it is extremely interesting as Neil has a great way of looking at things, truly very knowledgeable drummer
i love the way Neil's cymbals snap and sizzle
He is called the professor for a reason he is in God's hands now we miss him dearly love you Neal
So awesome to see Neil finally let his top hat cymbal sway. Sounds GREAT!!
We’ll miss you dearly Professor 😥
Nice explanation of the time signature stuff, always loved that aspect of this particular track.
But anyway, he needs to get the hell outa there, I've heard sand people scare easily, but they could be back... and in greater numbers!
Best drummer we will ever see in our life time(RIP)NEAL
I just saw RUSH play their last show in Kansas City, MO on 8/4. My seat was on the 7th row right in front of Neil and I'd say my attention was on him about 60% of the time watching him play drums and the other 40% respectfully divided between Geddy and Alex. It was an awesome show!
"We're really trying to be as good as the records." Us too, Neil!
When your the greatest drummer in the history of all percussion. Your back yard looks like that
