It is funny Gordon Lightfoot's manager is filming this. I have mentioned time and time again I would love to hear Jacob's version of some Lightfoot hits!
This version is almost...Almost....as good as the version when he was on the roof! The view of lovely Canadian suburbs in the background and the quality of the video was second to none. I sincerely hope he gets a chance to play this same song when the American Music industry gets there heads out of their ass and votes Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
I'm so proud of you Jacob and all of your success. I seriously get tingles telling people about how great you are and about how you played in Rush's induction. What an absolute honour and joy, and again, so proud of you man.
I loved the solo at the end. Chops are superb as always brotha.
Keep posting vids, and I hope to see you again soon!
Awesome cover of on of my favorite songs! I almost think the more mellow acoustic version of this song gives the lyrics more weight and gravity. The message of the song seems more powerful done this way! Kudo's!
Rush is my favourite band and Jacob is a friend (hey, Jacob! It's Rob Fortney!). Congratulations to him on this honour of performing at the induction ceremony. What an experience. Mr. Moon deserves every success that comes his way. He is extremely talented, but more importantly, he is a wonderful human being. I will continue to sing his praises whenever I get the chance.

Jacob, Great work! I like the final solo performed here even more than in your original recording. You lived mine, and probably many other's dream playing in this setting! way to go!

Great job Jacob. I do a cover of Closer To the Heart and the other day one of my fans told me that it was the best Rush cover that they had ever heard. Well, that's great, but I disagree. You do the best cover of Rush in my opinion! So well thought out and natural! I can tell that you really feel the song like it's your own! Just like the roof top, I'm still blown away! I have to believe that Alex, Gheddy and Neal would be impressed too! All the best to you!
Good cover.
