UPDATE - 7/19@9:42AM: 15-year-old Japanese drummer YOYOKA played drums on Limelight and geeked out about it on Instagram alongside a short video of their performance:

Tom Morello performed a show at Toronto's Danforth Music Hall yesterday evening, and Rush's Alex Lifeson made a surprise appearance, joining the band for their cover of Rush's Limelight. Despite some significant technical issues (looks like Alex lost the E string during the solo), it was a great performance as seen below or on YouTube. Morello is a huge Rush fan, and has collaborated with Alex in the past, including his 2024 track I Have Seen the Way, which featured Alex and Metallica's Kirk Hammett. You can watch the performance below or on YouTube:
