I’ve seen some clips of Anika. I think she’ll crush it :sunglasses:

Yeah, I’ve been watching her for a while @robrrt1, and she’s got mad odd time chops, no doubt. It’s kind of a bitter pill to swallow as I’ve been with them since 1974. Ged and Alex were set on never touring again without Neil, and I get that they couldn’t fight off the “itch”. It’s bittersweet for me for sure. She wouldn’t want to, nor would anyone ask her to just play note for note, because that wouldn’t be fair, but, how do you show respect, and honor Neil if you don’t ?? Walking on the razor’s edge for sure.

If the boys have faith in her, then I’m on board. I agree in the hope that it isn’t some ultimate Rush tribute band tour where everyone expects her to play it all note for note. Like when Jason stepped in for dad at the Zeppelin O2 concert - he did his own thing and, in some ways, he outshined the old geezers on stage with him :grin:
