Watch some of the videos. "Anika Cams" (where the camera is focused only on her playing) are all over social media. The crowd loves her and she's nailing every one of Peart's fills.
Geddy got some voice coaching and sounds twenty years younger, well enough to hit the high notes in "Freewill." The addition of keyboardist and backing vocalist Loren Gold (hiding out quietly in the background as the world stands in awe of Anika Nilles) has freed up Geddy to move around the stage a little more and focus on his singing and bass playing (and the occasional keyboard work).
The band, touring for the first time as a quartet, sounds incredible.
Check out this video of Tom Saywer and the audience's reaction to Nilles nailing the parts. (FFW to 3:17)

As long as they can fill stadiums, might as well. It’s not Rush, but it is the best Rush cover band in the world.
