I saw Rush life in Lexington KY. Luckily we had sort of a side view and we had a good view of Peart. The guy has/had boxes of drumsticks beside him. He was constantly twirling, flipping, and throwing drumstick. He would lose one, grab another, and not miss a beat (no pun intended). It was amazing to watch.
I will say the highlight of the Concert was when they played Red Barchetta. They played a simulation on a big screen that made you feel like you were driving a car (This was long before all the current day effects).
