Rush's Bastille Day performed live at the 2009 East Coast Rush TabCon

The performance of this song was played live by fans who got together to jam out some Rush songs at musician/fan gatherings called Rush TabCons that have taken place since 1997. The performers had never practiced playing this song together as a unit and just play from the hip recording this in one or two takes.

Well done guys! Just one thing? Glee wants his robe back! LOL

This was pretty damn impressive. Even Geddy can't sing like that anymore. If you guys formed a Rush tribute band and came to Texas, I'd totally be there!

I believe that that is Pauliewanna on the drums. Search youtube to find this guy Pauliewanna's page. Some of the best RUSH drumming I have ever seen and a pro home studio setup.

@Barry7777777 That voice you hear at the end is Daffy Duck, from one of the Looney Tunes cartoons. I'm guessing it's just a sample triggered by Sean or Paulie...

Why is the bass player wearing a raincoat?
