This literally brought tears to my eyes...what a fitting tribute to this marvelous band!

The first part is in 4/4 time, which is simple to conduct. The piece then goes into 7/16 time (with an occasional) 3/8 bar. During the 7/16 time, the conductor is beating a 3 pattern that is subdivided 2+2+3. (down = 1,2  right= 3,4 up=5,6,7). He is doing a great job with the conducting.

Lots of the piece is in seven. I can tell when the conductor is conducting the front 3, but I don't get how he's conducting the back 4 - is he conducting it in two? Bitch of a piece to conduct, but I don't get what he's doing.

[mattymanten]

No i was there and they said your not allowed to take video, in fact i was there cause the documentary made about Rush was also made about my brothers bband XD so we got to meet Rush and hang out with them for half an hour or so

And Alex Lifeson is a self-taught Gourmet Chef, while Neil Peart is a collector of BMW Motorcycles. And also here's the big one. Geddy Lee is a five time world champion in the computer game of Fantasy Baseball. He says Goodnight to the audience, heads backstage to a cooler for a bottle of water and bee-lines it to his lap-top and starts to play.

Now I feel creepy. I knew that too, now I think I know too much about that guy.

Geddy also has a vintage wine cellar at his house containing 5000 different vintage wines
