2112 RUSH Cover YYNOT featuring Mike Portnoy (Bubba Bash 2023) 

This isn't just a cover... this is Rush preservation

Only Mike can play with the same saund as Neil. All good, best Rush cover. Please mike keep Neil's genius alive

Awesome

50 year Rush fan here. You guys killed it. Best Rush cover I've ever heard. Wept for a moment remembering Neal.

That was the best I have ever heard any cover band play 2112, It was impossible to hold back the tears.

Love it

Fantastic!!!! 🎉❤

Amazing performance by all. The drummer is absolutely locked in, love to see it

They are so, so good. Got to see them in a tiny Connecticut venue in Jan 2024 - very impressive.

Pretty damn tight. If I had to pick a drummer to play RUSH it would be Portnoy. Great!

For 6 and a half minutes I was transported back to 12 year old me in 1976. Thank you.

A great way to remember and celebrate Neil Peart's life. Thanks to all the musicians involved at this event.

WOW!

Greetings from Montreal , nice work !

Man I wish I was there. Literally a dream come true just seeing Portnoy play this.

DAMN that was good. The whole band is absolutely top shelf, yet they need to be, as they're covering one of the greatest bands ever that was comprised of ONLY three musicians. Adding the legendary Mike Portnoy in for Neil and also that georgeous female vocalist with the sassy, edgy and buttery, Pat Benetar style chops singing Geddy Lee's part and sounding like him, was just amazing! BRAVO!! R.I.P. Neil!

Holy Hell!!! That was one of the most enjoyable musical experiences I've had in a long, long time. The opening part to 2112 seems so incredibly difficult to get right, with the flowing guitar riffs, lightning fast transitions, and Geddy's stratospheric registers (his later live performances never managed to capture that energy, when his voice was suffering)... and they just killed it. When Patty's vocals started in, my jaw just fell open, and stayed that way through to the end! Chills, and goosebumps, the whole time.

JUST WOW

When she started singing I started to tear up. Nailed it. Brought me back to my teenage years hearing them play live. Thank you!!

The instrumentation was great, the mix was good, everyone was unbelievable...but when that vocalist came in, I got chills. She's amazing.

good shit

Portnoy and band, right on my man. Good enough to love hearing the song and different enough to miss Neil and the band. So many years since that song was created and we have enjoyed Rush for so long amd now it seems like it's flown by and those in my age group, mid fifties would love to have some of that time back. More than anything we are all very blessed with the time we have and to be blessed with talents to use them in that time. Mike I appreciate your talent and continued drive my man. Very cool indeed. Ciao 👍😉

Amazing that’s the closest drumming and feel that I’ve ever seen to Neil. I’ve heard a lot of covers and there’s just that little bit missing but this was perfection. Just really fantastic

God, I love this band, and Portnoy was a angel flying in for a layover.

Nicely done. RUSH is the band that you try explaining to kids when they say they have good music. I feel sorry for other generations who’ve missed out.

Wow. That sounded great!!!

The bass player's tone is freakin' killing it...

Even better with Portnoy, arguably one of the best drummers anywhere in the world!

She's got some pipes. Can't wait to see you guys live!

Great editing and mix! Also, 2112 with Patty on vocals from the soundboard is awesome!

Amazing never heard that covered so well

This was playing in a background tab and I didn't realize it wasn't a live Rush version for about five minutes when I switched over to see. Fucking amazing.

Gives me goosebumps... 👌

the 17 year old me just got the shivery goose bumps hearing this opening. Gosh, is that what I have played at my funeral? hahaha

Ged hasn’t sung in that register since the 80’s, great job Patty! Oh, Mike was alright too I guess.

That was freaking AWESOME!!!

Hats off to this band and foremost Geddy Lee. This girl singer had to squat and sing her ass off to replicate what Geedy did for years while playing bass, foot pedals and keyboard at the same time. She nailed it note for note while simultaneously looking hot as fire. Every dude that's a Rush fan would marry her in a second because girls that are into Rush are rare. This lady is the unobtainium of the Rush Fan boy world.

Billy, this is absolutely spectacular. Such a killer performance and with none other than Portnoy himself. What an absolute treat!

Love seeing my second favorite drummer play my favorite drummer's music!!! Portnoy just rocks. Hats off to this great cover. KEEPING THE LEGACY ALIVE!

The struggle of playing on a kit set up for someone else! Mike still killed it

Awesome Rush fans forever. YYNOT RUSH

Perfect! Thanks!

OMG! What passion in those vocals. Seriously giving me goosebumps 👊

Sounds great. I teared up a little when the singer came in with "we've taken care of everything". it's great to see Rush music and spirit live on after the band is gone.

That was Epic. That singer nailed it too.

I was lucky enough to be there, and I already got my tickets for this years show. Organized by Michael Mosbach, Neil's personal security, riding partner and friend this event features a lot of amazing musicians, all there to raise money for cancer research and celerate Neil's life through his music. There may be a few tickets left if you are lucky.

Omg. My jaw is on the ground. WOW

Hell yeah. Excellent drummin and vocal fill my man.

beyond amazing~~

Just fantastic!

That is the best cover or 2112 I have ever heard live.

I've heard of YYN before but never watched a video and tbh only clicked on this one because MP was playing, but now I'll be looking for more because this was excellent in every department.

Such a fabulous cover. Patty’s voice as always is spot on. Bravo. Brava!!!!

Being a Rush fan since the 70's this was an excellent cover ... great to see and hear !

That was nothing short of incredible!!! WOW! 👍🏻😎

Wow She nailed the vocals. So damn good! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘

I only got 7 concerts in. I have watch and learned all I could and still learning. GOD I LOVE THOSE THREE. IM 54, I WAS 12 WHEN DAD BROUGHT THEM HOME. I miss them so much. Thank you so damn much for continuing the GREATEST GROUP OF MEN THAT EVER MADE MUSIC and the ppl they were Michael J. Schenk Seattle, WA

Absolutely brilliant. Solid Rush tribute with my favourite living drummer. What's not to like !?

Nice touch that Portnoy had Neil's name on the front of his #1 jersey and his own name on the back. These guys effin NAILED it!

Well, this was freaking awesome! The vocals gave me chills! Especially while focused on the killer sound from the players! Be proud fellas!

Wow! Blown away! Billy F’n Alexander

My favorite drummer sitting in for my favorite song writer. What an incredible performance!

Outstanding.

Wow. Absolutely stunned at the Honor paid to Neil-and she CRUSHED it! I gotta admit, I got a little choked up…

How unbelievably awesome! Incredible performance, and you got to do it with Portnoy. The music sounds flawless, and for me Patty is outstanding on vocals. She can pull off the edge and energy of early Geddy while still bringing her own personality to the stage. Yall are a fantastic band!

MY GOD! That was fantastic!!!! So...when are you in the Phoenix area next?!?!?!?!? WOW!!!!!

THE SOUND!!!!! The engineers and crew need to be applauded. This sounds amazing. I can feel the drums and bass fly around me. The guitar is making my ears tingle. Wild

Good!!

That was excellent. Mike Portnoy is spot on. This made me tear up. Miss you NEIL. CANADA ROCKS!!🍁🍁

Awesome.

Excellent rendish. I know that was hard god blessed work. I could listen to this again. I'm in my mid sixties, I've listen to Rush for many a year. Rock on,......,

You all are awesome. Hi Mike.

Lagu ne rush dimainke sopo ae tetep dahsyat.... Top markotop....

The highest compliment I could pay is it sounds just like the guys. Simply brilliant.

The opening was nearly flawless, and I’ve heard the song a million times. Thank You!

Ils sont vraiment incroyable !! ❤❤❤...

Great job!! 👍

That was awesome. Love Portnoy, love Rush, and now love YYNOT! GREAT job!

Well how about that!! We miss you Neil and who best to get to honor you but Mike Portnoy!! So awesome, thank you for posting this.

Outstanding... Very well done.. Thank you...

Mike is a beast but my god who is the woman singing? She NAILED it

I absolutely loved this show, YYNOT were incredible as were all the special guests. I found myself getting very emotional for all the Rush songs. It was a bit of a bummer at the end the Mike had to split to NYC to meet is daughter, but was awesome that everyone else hung out to sign stuff. This is will be a highlight show for 2023 for sure.

I loved it that was great. The band was outstanding, and the vocals were perfect. Love the power in her voice.

Very nice! Spot on and not to mention and epic piece of music.

Splendid...

Awesome!!!

Wow, just wow. 😎

Wow! Really excellent.

Fantastic

Patty is the best thing to ever happen to this band. LOVE her voice. Looking forward to a new album of originals with Patty singing.

What?,........WHAT!?!,....Wholly CATS! That's what i was saying in my head (and a couple times out loud), the whole time i was listening to this! To say you guys -- and gal -- "nailed it" would be the understatement of the century,...maybe millennium. WELL DONE!,.. ...and then some! SO enjoyable. Keep up the good work!

This sent chills up my spine and gave me goosebumps..Spot-on awesome perfect performances from everyone on that stage. I really wish I could have been there to see and hear the whole show in person.

😃😃😃😃😃🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 AWESOME!!!!!!!

Amazing tribute to the professor!

Wow! Just wow! So good. And Patty's vocals...simply stellar!

FKN AWESOME JOB THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR ABILITIES

That was absolutely incrinkulent..!!Best cover I've ever heard, been listening to Rush for 50 yrs !! 🤘🤘

Well done by all, Rush's music is a sacred part of my life,not to many bands can pull it off like you all do,so why not? God bless the Professor.

Mike totally nailed it. Almost all the fills were to the album. You guys played great together.

I didn't really notice it, but at the end of this cover I had a tear rolling down my cheek. Absolutely brilliant cover.
