It's almost like Alex, Geddy and Neil invited you over to watch them jam.
Arguably the best rendition of this song , or any Rush song for that matter, I’ve ever heard.
The drummer hits every offbeat, accent, symbol/ride pattern, with the same flare and attack as Neil did. Ditto for the guitar and bass parts- and his voice is SPOT on!
Electric!!
I played professionally for years in a tribute band. The odds of these 3 incredible top notch musicians who know every note of every song is one in a billion.
And here we are
Could not have put it better, these guys are superb!
I thought this was good until the dude started singing... HOLY CRIPES! He sounds just like Geddy in his prime!
Thats what i said too--OMG
It's like a trip back into the studio in 1977 right?

Singer reminds me of Kim Mitchell back in the day 😆
This group is so good that i hear there’s a Canadian trio that formed a Lotus Land tribute band. Drummer is quite good. Neil somethin or other.
😂
OMG Chris’s vocals are the closest to Geddy’s 70s voice I’ve ever heard! Bravo!
YES SIR! ABSOLUTELY!
wow that is spot on
The best
This is an UNBELIEVABLE band.
Impossible to believe they are not Rush!!!!
I don't care how many times I hear this every time is mind blowing.
This guy's voice blew me away. My god.
+Nick Paternostro Thanks Nick!
Man, I love to see RUSH's music treated with such commitment to accuracy...it is the largest form of respect and gratitude.
Yes - AND they corrected the always too low bass in Rush mixes, this is much better mixed than the originals (IMHO off course...)
Not just a cover. These guys play with power and conviction - like THEY wrote it.
I have been playing Rush for 40 + years, been in many tribute bands and heard a lot of tribute bands but you guys are the best I have ever heard!!!! Hands down!
Just saw them on Saturday at the Levoy Theater in Millville NJ - I left there telling my buddy that was Geddy, I don't care what anybody says! lol These guys might just be the best tribute band of all time in terms of sounding like the originals. All 3 are top notch musicians and who else on earth can sing, play bass and keys all at the same time AND sound and move like Geddy? Masters of their crafts, mad props to the whole band! Thank you guys for doing Rush right!
How does a band like this come together? Like how many things have to be in perfect alignment for this to happen? 3 guys who happen to be musically inclined, who like Rush, Like... a lot, can play like them, sing like Geddy, all live nearby and are like "Hey, lets start a rush tribute band, that is perfect...no exeptions...lol
Best vocal of Geddy I have ever heard no doubt about it.
These guys are the real deal outside of being Rush themselves. I got a chance to meet them and I'm humble! thank you for keeping the music alive for the newer generation to enjoy!
Best Rush coverband I´ve come across on youtube so far. Fantastic bass player!
he's amazing LIVE.
This is undoubtedly the best Rush tribute band
Honestly, i'm surprised Geddy's voice could be matched so well with a falsetto. His singing is very strong, almost scream-like, and that is incredibly tough to reproduce. Awesome cover!
In case it was unclear, he did the falsetto on the second verse, and that's what I was referring to.

I've been a Rush fan for 39 years. You guys are the best tribute band I have ever heard. I know this song like the back of my hand. This is a dead bang spot on rendition. Congrats!! Love it. Rush on my fellow Rushians!
Thank you very much!
Literally laughed out loud when he started singing - in a good way! I cannot believe how much he sounds like Geddy. This is such a sick cover. Excellent musicianship and a reverence for the original. Just wow
These guys have the talent and good jobs to do the Rush tribute band thing right!!
As a lifelong Rush fan, I can only say I can't believe how good that was!!!!!! Flipping awesome!!!!
OMG..I thought only one man on this earth had that voice
Saw Lotus Land last Saturday night. Almost as good as the real thing. Compensation for us broken hearted Rush fans , these guys rock
You're good, there's no denying it.
I think it's safe to say, you have to give us the full Cygnus X-1: hemispheres.
Just so I could die happy. Pretty please.
I'm waiting..................
No one does it better and never will. These guys are the masters of tribute for Rush
OMG the singer is fantastic. What the...I mean seriously, I thought it's impossible to sing like Geddy especially with his 70's voice, man, you're brilliant.
Thanks Lucas, we appreciate it.
I got chills when he started singing.
Wow, that's got to be the most faithful Rush cover I've ever heard! Bravo!
I don't think I've ever heard anyone pull off a better 70's era of Geddy's vocals. Even Geddy himself can't pull off this material anymore. Just incredible. The whole thing is amazing. I second the Middletown Dreams request.
I was so floored by the music I just realized the video is is in black and white.
Sound quality is awesome these boys rock good
This is real uuh..
Is Rush, it sounds like the original team...
Awesome 🙋♂️🙋♂️🇪🇨🇪🇨
Unbelievable!! I’ve been listening to Rush since I discovered them when Roll the 🦴s came out. They have been my favorite band since then as well. I was pretty torn up when they finally decided to call it quits...then I found Lotus Land. You guys are absolutely spot on. Every note, chord, kick, snare and cymbal. I’d say that you guys were Rush reincarnated except they’re still alive. If somebody was playing this video behind my back, I’d swear it was straight off Hemispheres. Don’t ever stop. And please do a video like this of Analog Kid.
I was never big on this album but this bands rendition made me revisit and truly appreciate what a
great piece of work this album is.
For me, the song and the mixing is fantastic here in this video! I´ve suggested others classics with this structure, such as Subdivisions and among other dozens!
Possibly the best Rush Tribute band i have seen, excellent on very level, even vocals are great. Shame you are not in UK... would love to see you live.. THANK YOU,, and looking forward to more,
OMG...that's as close as it gets. Great job.
Wow!!!! Got to the vocals and couldn't believe my ears!!!! Everything is perfect......
WOW... what an awesome replication of the world's greatest band Rush!!
I came back for another serving. Great job boys.
After all these years still my number one Rush LP, never gets old and this is just brilliant.
Your Moms HAVE to be getting tired of this by now!
No, really, it sounds amazing, and I'm happy hearing one of my most favorite 'older' songs.
Hands down the best Rush Tribute band on the planet NO ONE IS BETTER
best rush cover band by far ... and i mean by far...
WOW !!!!! HOLY RUSH !!!!!! THAT VOICE !!!!!!!
Wow. these guys are fantastic. So good to see and hear Rush live music again now that Neil has passed and so did the band. Hope Lotus Land tours my local area. I would see them.
And, I thought Rocky Kuner (female) was the only person alive who could sing this properly. I was wrong... Chris, you KILLED this!!!!!!!!!!
The hardest part for Rush cover bands to nail seems to be the bass+vocals combo. A lot of great bass players who can't pull of the multitasking or who sound nothing like Geddy. This guy nailed it.
Wow, singer got some Geddy pipes!
Amazing cover! Great job, love the sound of the Rick
Fantastic - super tight. Best Rush covers are when the bass also sings! 👍👍
holy shit. I thought they were really good until the singing started . That lead was spot on the money .
I always thought that Geddy's voice was unique, boy was i wrong! Also excellent playing.
P.G.G. Music the truth is that, love it or hate it, Geddy does have one of the most unique voices in rock music. Unmistakeable and up until I heard Lotus Land, I had never heard anyone sound similar, especially from this 1970s period with vocals that even Geddy has not been able to reproduce for many years.
Even Brody Dolyniuk Of The Las Vegas based band “Yellow Brick Road”, who can nail singers like Robert Plant, Roger Daltry, Klaus Mein, Elton John Ozzy Osborne, Freddy Mercury and so many others, cannot sound anything like Geddy when covering Rush. Brody is probably the best classic rock singer impersonator in the world and was contracted to record all of the vocal tracks for both Guitar Hero and Rock Band (those are all Brody’s vocals, not the original artists). On all of those tracks for the games, his Geddy Lee is the only one that sounds nothing like the original, all the rest are incredible. That’s just how unique Lee’s voice is/was.
Chris is the first vocalist I have ever heard who really sounds like Geddy did back in the day. Even more impressive is how he can play the bass just like Geddy, no small feat in itself, and match all of the keyboard and Taurus pedal fills. To top it all off, he can also handle all of that live on stage. Didn’t think there would ever be anyone like that.
I have heard so many Rush tribute bands with 5 or 6 members who still fail to accurately reproduce Rush songs, but Lotus Land can. Chris is the real key in this band. If they ever lose him, they become just another good Rush tribute band and no longer the Primo Rush tribute spectacular. He’s the cherry on top of the Rush sundae.
Definitely the best of all the Rush tribute acts!!
Wow.. just wow guys. I was enjoying the music noticing the bass player putting in a few Geddy doubles in other spots but fitting very nicely. But when the bass player starting singing, I was floored!
Can't wait to see these guys at Levoy Theater next sat. RIP Neil!
These guys are absolutely unbelievable... And super nice- just like Rush!!!
WOW this is the 1st time i heard your band and am now listening to other videos of yours. I am 60, a musician for Piano Keyboards and Guitars, saw RUSH a good 21 times and YES you are by far THEE best RUSH cover band out there. If you ever come to the Bay Area of California i want to see you.. Thanks for your dedication guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must agree. From the compressed smack of the snare and toms to the vocal inflections, and the chorus/flanged Alex; these guys are as exciting to watch as the real boys. A difficult job well done!!! A+
Are you kidding me??? W O W ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ....and the internet search begins. UNBELIEVABLE ! ! ! ! ! !
HOLY CRAP-- The Vocals- thats 1970s Geddy Lee...DUDES -LOTUS LAND NEVER STOP PLAYING-!!! INCREDIBLE ITS LIKE A TWIN BROTHER OF GEDDY!!!
LotusLand! the best rush tribute in the world!...live and studio... so badass!!!!
the sound is there! please don't take this as criticism from an old fanatic...but I wanna see two bass drums, and dye the guitarists hair blonde... but seriously ,I bet u guys have some super badass originals! I want an album!
Blows my mind how amazing this band is. This is the best version i have ever heard on this chanell. I have watched hundreds of rush tribute bands
These guys are by far the best you will ever hear. I have been following rush since i was 15 years old guys. I turn 59 years old on july 8th in 3 more days. Need i say more.
Best cover I've ever seen! Much appreciated
❤️
I may live in Spokane but please don't stop playing EVER! I'll one day drive to MA. to see you live.. HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS SOUND PURE.
Rush music....a sacrament, played by only the gifted! Like Lotusland!
Oh my God !!! Outstanding !!
My jaw is on the floor. With this power, precision, and mix; what I wonder would it take for this band to cover the entire Hemispheres album? A commission? I’ll pitch in if so. *Seriously.*
Now that RUSH most likely won't tour anymore.....I would pay to see these guys play! Yes, I know, it is not the same but if they are doing a good job of keeping their music alive I think it is worth it!
Absolutely the best there is for a Rush show.
OMG!!! Awesome!!! I hope to see you guys someday in our brazilian Rush Fest!!!
The vocals! And all of it! Even the filming and editing
This is the best cover of hemispheres I have ever or will ever see.
I can close my eyes & feel that I am listening to Al, Ged & Neil. Most awesome Rush tribute band ever!! Love you guys.
What an undertaking to try and sound like Rush. And sound like Rush. What a task what a job well done!

I am truly speechless!!!! That is beyond one of the most amazing things I have seen and heard. WOW!!! I mean WOW!!! "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". I hope those boys (RUSH) have seen you guys. Damn all the RUSH fans for only getting you to 13,000 views. This video should be generating tens of thousands...
+The Everything Else Show Thank you very much!
For those of you who doubt this band is really playing this.........doubt no more. I have them play live and THEY ARE THE REAL THING.
Dammmm...great job..that voice.. Holy shit!
Yet to see a cover of TREES would love to hear these guys do it
Outstanding!
Can't wait to see you when you play on Long Island, New York!
💜💫✌🏼🎵
Rush fan since 1976 and yikes, amazing. Love to hear if they have any of their own material and how do you find a bass player as talented, the can play the pedals and sing. Very cool.
I am watching this again, sooo good..
Seeing these guys would be like seeing the real thing. Absolutely outstanding!
Id love to watch Rush sit and watch this video to see there reactions
All are superb!
Awesome - three very talented musicians! Thanks and please come to London some day!
Three great players... but wow. How much work does it take to play bass, keys and sing like Geddy Lee? That's just phenomenal.
It's eerie how close these guys are the original sound. And is it my imagination or do they even look like our guys? Whatever, I'm impressed.
Thank you from me here in LEICESTER UK. Brilliant .
We now have a Geddy we can trust
You guys push us in Snakes & Arrows to try that much harder. You're all great musicians, and we salute you. :-)
Fantastic, saw hemispheres concert in Allentown PA.
You guys are great
