Rush II does not disappoint.

Excerpt from article by David Garski

I woke up around midnight because I couldn’t sleep. I got online, went to YouTube - and I immediately discovered a bevy of videos from last night’s concert in Los Angeles. All I wanted to see and hear was Anika.

I watched the band play “Xanadu”, “2112”, “Natural Science” and of course, “Tom Sawyer”. The audio was not high quality, so it was difficult to hear Anika’s interpretation of every little nuance, every little signature drum part made infamous by the professor.

What I could hear was spectacular! Then I began to think - is it possible that she might actually be better than Neil Peart? No way! We’ve coveted Peart’s work in Rush as the top tier of all rock drumming, for so many decades, nobody ever questioned it. I have always been one of those people who always believed that nobody could ever touch Peart’s work, much less, make it better…but is that even possible?
