They cover "YYZ" and "Limelight" by Rush, "We Were Born to be Loved" by King's X, "Fat Bottomed Girls" by Queen, "In the Dead of Night" by UK, and more, including some originals. Excellent stuff.

When I saw John Wetton perform with the School of Rock All Stars, they covered UK's In The Dead Of Night/By The Light Of Day/Presto Vivace And Reprise. The kid on the keys did Eddie Jobson proud!

As for the Rush tracks: A friend I grew up with studied guitar from a very early age and he was also huge Rush fan. He used to learn and perform every Lifeson lick to a T up through 2112. Then I left home and went off to college and lost touch with him. Sadly, he was content to play in a barroom covers band and never really realized his talent potential.

It's great that young people are studying some of the better new music and talents. Though I don't know if I'd lump King's X in there with talents the likes of UK.
