It is like 2 uncles extremely proud of their niece.

Any time a bass player walks over to the drummer, smiles and nods and walks away, You know you're right where you need to be!

She has earned her place. More power to her.

I always imagine Geddy Lee at home screaming in a tantrum: "I'm Geddy Lee and I will sing whatever lyrics I want"

Anika is so good that she has created a rush with a sound individual to her. She is absolutely awesome and Geddy and Alex are playing like they have renewed energy and life. Neal was the master and one of the best drummers and he could never be replaced, Anika is creating something new and so are her band mates they sound awesome.

I love how the audience is so supportive of Anika! She is awesome!

I haven't seen an audience react to a band like this since the Beatles. People are truly joyful. Quite amazing.

I’ve never been a big Rush fan. I became an Anika Nilles fan after I saw the videos of her playing with Jeff Beck. In my opinion it was never an issue as to whether she could handle the gig. The real question was would she be accepted by hardcore Rush fans or would they expect a second coming of Neal Peart. One of the high points of my summer has been watching how much she has been warmly embraced by the Rush nation. Go Anika!

Love the video. But no camera can do Rush's music in concert justice. I was at Wednesday's show, and the sound is unlike anything I've ever heard. Anika's base drums just make your whole body verberate. Geddy's vocals sound so much better with the incredible music being made. Easily one of the best concerts I've ever been to, if not the best.

The pleasure of playing this unforgettable Rush piece is evident on the faces of this magnificent trio, and the audience's cheers confirm it.

It's like Geddy and Alex are Anika's personal cheering section. Love it!

Was there, I bought tickets the night before, from Barrie ON, drove 6 hours, had hellish delay at the hotel losing an hour, couldn't find the prepaid parking lol, finally almost giving up, found it, went in and Xanadu started 30 seconds after I arrived in the Bell Centre UGGGG!!! One of the best of many many times I have seen them...the crowd was the BEST, and no surprise about that!!! I was sitting super close to where this was recorded by how it looks....111....

Anika is the perfect "replacement" for Neil Peart — sounds amazing and looks beautiful. She's the whole package.

She makes it look so easy!! Amazing talent!! Can't wait to see what she does in the future!!

I love having Loren Gold in the band ! So cool to free up Geddy and/or have 2 sets of keyboards !

1:24 drummer and bass exchange glance and LOCK IN... Brings happy tears to my eyes....😂😍🤘😎
3:11 Anika is all business. She never looks relaxed for this part, don't blame her. One of the most well known drum solo/fills.
She knows if she blows it critics will cry. So far she has shut critics up. I expect she'll continue to ROCK!!! Crowd roars in approval. Bravo!
