I thought the quieter bits were rather stiff and tentative, but once they got humming they sounded pretty good. You can never have enough dry ice.... The Cygnus X-1/The Spirit Of Radio ending was.......interesting. I've seen/heard worse.....

Really nice cover. I like how the singer made a conscious effort NOT to mimic Geddy. He just sang it like he would sing it, rather than trying to hit all the high notes. The By-Tor/TSoR ending was weird but cool at the same time. Nicely done. Seems like a decent band.

Much needed bump Pyramid Theorem did a hell of a job. They didn't do a traditional Rush cover, and for that I appreciate it more. They made it their own version. This is some killer stuff! Congrats!

Thanks for the kind words peeps! It is greatly appreciated. In a few more days, we should have some good quality footage put up from the show with sound taken direct from the board so you'll be able to hear all the mistakes! Again, thanks for the critiquing :)

I actually dug on this quite a bit. I know how hard it is for a band to cover songs or to even do tribute stuff. This is pretty fucking awesome and i'd love to see more =)

Yeah...brain fart. Had the Vapor Trails encore stuck in my head and picked the wrong tune. Thanks for catching that.
