RUSH - TOM SAWYER
This band are an 'authentic' power-trio just as the original Rush were back then (and still are today), and that means lots of hard work spread out across these 3 band members. All of them coped incredibly well.'
'The classic Rush numbers flowed well with it ranging from songs like 'Limelight' through to 'New World Man'. Most of the best-loved and well-known songs were included. As a band I thought that they performed very well. All of this trio worked hard and put on a good show.'
'Ian Butters is a very good guitarist, and his style was impressively fluent. With regards to his ability his was probably the most professional out of all the various guitarist that I've seen in 4 different Rush tribute bands.'
Ian B played some superb guitar work, and his guitar solos were very faithful to the original recordings.'
Ian R had the unenviable task of trying to reproduce the talents of Rush's Neil Peart, who is regarded as one of the very best drummers in the world. Ian did a sterling job.'
'Apart from being a fine drummer he also sang lead vocals on 3 songs during their '2112' section of the show. His voice was quite stunning in that he had an awesome tone to it. He did a magnificent job. He really does have a very exceptional voice.'
'Yet it was Tom Alexander who handled most of the lead vocals and he did a superb job once again. His bass playing and keyboard work were also top class, and the fact he managed to juggle between them all with great ease was very impressive.'
My own personal highlights of the night were 'Xanadu' (I never get bored of hearing this song), '2112' (they played the entire piece with the exception of 'Oracle'), and the first half of 'Cygnus-x1.'
'None of these songs are easy to perform, yet the band managed very competently, and I witnessed very few mistakes (if any) all night long.'
'They do a damn good job, and if you're a Rush fan then I guarantee you that you won't be disappointed!
This really was a 'team' effort!'
