They were way beyond their time. And, for a 3 man band, it is almost impossible to natch.
RIP Dan Pearl.
Neil Peart
You’ll never see better rock musicianship than in this song, “Freewill” live in Cleveland. Watch from the 3:10 to 4:12 mark for some of the most spectacular playing ever. The look on Neil Pearts face at 4:12 is priceless because he knows they just pulled off the hardest part of the song flawlessly, and you’ll notice and hear that the crowd goes wild at 4:12 at what they just witnessed. I’ve seen Rush 7 times and each time was amazing. Rush is a Rush plain and simple, you either get or not.
