Heard a local DJ, John Derringer on Q107 in Toronto, refer to Neil Peart as a percussionist, lyricist, author as well as one of the best drummers to live.

Brings you back in time when you see the list of venues and know you were there...

I'd always thought that I'd get to see them one last time. But they never had a "farewell tour" or anything like that. That just wasn't their style.
