Description

On January 7th, we lost one of rock’s greatest drummers, Rush’s Neil Peart. The Hamilton-born Peart, along with bandmates Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, took the unlikely Canadian prog-rock heroes to international stardom—Grammy nominations, platinum albums, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—with his explosive, virtuosic drumming and brilliant lyrics. Notoriously private, the legendary stickman opened up to filmmakers Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn in this acclaimed 2010 concert doc, the definitive survey of Rush’s astounding 40-year career. Get ready to air drum to "Tom Sawyer", "2112", "Subdivisions" and more essential anthems as we pay a heartfelt Toronto tribute to an uncompromising—and unmatched—musician who changed the rock game forever.
