Top Comments of this video!! :3
Neil Peart was a magician on the drums, and an extraordinary soul with an incredible gift for lyrics and storytelling. The world is lesser without him. The great moment in this video starts at the 2:06 point, where Geddy sings the epic line "one likes to believe in the freedom of music, but glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity." Behind him, Alex and Neil smile mischievously at each other as they share the inside joke: they are (finally) singing these lines at - of all places - the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the center of the establishment music industry that had improperly rejected them for so long. Living well is the best revenge - and Neil certainly did that for as long as his body would let him. RIP.

2:18 That smile on Neil when Geddy sings ".....shatters the illusion of integrity", and the whole RRHOF deal, says it all.

I seriously don't think Alex Lifeson was ever given enough credit for it ability.
