The kid plays this with such ease...
Liked this from one of the comments...
Alex and Geddy: Sorry Neil, but this kid works for happy meals and animal balloons. We're gonna have to let you go.

I finally got around to seeing Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage last night. That was such an enjoyable documentary about the band. I thought it was really well done. I've been a Rush fan for a little over 30 years but didn't see them until the S&A tour. I saw them twice on that tour, once on the Time Machine tour, and once on the Clockwork Angels tour. I hope they tour in 2015. I really want to see them again.You see me empty, Sir, do not pause and inquire, simply assume and refill.

I though it was a much better and much more thorough documentary than PJ20. It also had a much better flow and cohesiveness.

I just saw PJ20 the other day, I did like it I found out quite a few things about PJ I didn't know. However, there's some truth that PJ20 seemed to be all over the place and to some extent with me learning about PJ difficult to follow.

Something that I always wondered about Neil Peart and his tour drum kits. I wanted to know what did he do with these kits after each tour. Well something I never knew was that on many of the tours he used the same kit for several tours, he would just change the colors or a piece or two for each tour. I always thought he used a completely new kit but that's not the case and what did he do with those kits when he no longer used them on tour.
Here's a history of those kits....

I can just imagine the joy some of those guys felt who won NP's tour drum kits. If it was me I'd lose my mind for sure.

Well it seems I might shoot for Tampa FL through Bristow VA tour for this R40 challenge. Never know this could be the last tour. Tampa will be my 50th tour concert if this is their last this will be fun way to go out if they are done touring.
Peace

That's first time I've seem that in its complete format I gather. Lol that was hilarious certainly adult rated.
I'm calmly excited about this tour and what it'll turn out to be. These off album tours to me always seem to be more fun in that they seem to change up things so much than when they follow album tours. They also will try to squeeze in so much more to cover all these years of making music and touring. I wonder what NP drum kit will look like this time, the R30 one was thing of beauty which is in his pocession retired and in storage now.
Peace

Watching Dave and Taylor's induction of Rush into the HOF gives me goosebumps every time. This time it brought tars to my eyes.
As a Canadian, I am so proud of these guys. Their story is amazing. Of course they are musicians and write incredible songs and play incredible shows, but most of all, they are just great people who love what they do.
They love and respect their fans... and I cannot wait to see them on July 15th in Calgary from row 16..dead center.
Due to a myriad of reasons I have never seen the band which would be my favorite if PJ did not exist..and if this was the last chance I had I was not going to be in the nosebleeds. Cost me $400 in presale... But it is only money. This will be an experience!
You either love them or you hate them, but their influence on modern music is undeniable.0 -

That's awesome to hear your words. I'm going for 4 shows starting in Tampa, they are not playing ant further south in Florida. Tampa will be my 50th and if this is their last tour that's a shame cause they have tons of young fans listening to their music.....
