The Rush drummer, Neil Peart, blows the roof off the dump during Drum Solo Week from Late Show in 2011. If you wanna be a drummer, that's what you should watch. If you wanna be a musician, that's what you should watch. If you wanna love rock and roll, that's what you should watch. You'll be forever missed Neil Peart. That was a brilliant performance!

Michael Robert Smith, also best-known for his portrayal of Bubbles and co-writer of the cult classic television program, films and stage production Trailer Park Boys and the legendary trio, Rush, in a room together. They are performing 'Closer To The Heart' for the Tsunami Benefit Concert. Rush recorded ‘Closer To The Heart’ and all the other songs on A Farewell To Kings at Rockfield Studios in Wales. In the June of 1977. Finding the right place to record proved immensely difficult, with producer Terry Brown conducting extensive research before finally settling on a secluded studio in rural Monmouthshire. It was perfect. Rockfield offered Rush the solitude and privacy they needed to write, rehearse and record. In just three weeks, the album was complete. The song was incredible both in terms of structure and texture, it was immediately evocative of Led Zeppelin – especially when it came to Geddy Lee’s lead vocal line. Upon the single’s release, Rush’s suspicion that they were onto a winner proved correct. Introducing the song during Restropsective I in 1997, Geddy Lee told these lines: “There was such a demand to hear it, and we’d stopped playing it for a while. It’s always resonated with people for some reason, and it was a hit as far as we’ve ever had a hit. It got us on the radio, the kinds of radio that would never normally associate with us, so it was as close as we ever came to a pop song, especially at that point. Over here in the UK, it had that effect, and in the US too.”
