Everyone did an excellent job considering they had little to no rehearsal time.

Some of these posts remind of every time there are announcements about the new Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.
And half time at the super bowl.

Why bother then if no rehearsal time?

This is sort of revenge for all the "Neil can't swing" comments. The swingers can't Peart!

If anyone has first hand knowledge about how much or how little rehearsal time there was please speak up now. Everyone can just keep speculating

Ask Dave Grohl.

I dont think Rush fans have an issue moving on, the fact that Neil is no longer alive, so they had to move on whatever that means, maybe its just me but after seeing Geedy & Alex play the 2 Tributes why would you encourage them to stay home and relax? It almost sounds like you are bothered by them playing live once in a while and would rather they went away? because you are wondering if they have a plan to come back together, I hope they do, it would be interesting to hear new music & lyrics sans Neil.
They made some great music and evidently can still play as well as ever and its something they have done for over 40 years so not doing any of it doesnt seem to make sense to me...
It's reasonable to assume because they respected and liked him enough that they really wanted to be involved.
Plus 99.999% of attendees/viewers who aren't musicians (and probably a good number who are) would never hear any of the very miniscule (especially considering the circumstances) imperfections in the performance.

I enjoyed both shows and seeing the variety of performers come together to honor Taylor's spirit. And the "less than perfect" parts were few and far between, so I can't complain about getting my (zero) money's worth.

There were rehearsals for the London show and, perhaps, the LA show.

Just as much rehearsal time as Omar and Danny got though ….

Because it is a tribute, these are busy people, with a full schedule.
tribute - "an act, statement, or gift that is intended to show gratitude, respect, or admiration."
There are no rehearsal times at jams either and they can be very dynamic and exciting for both players and audience.
I really enjoyed so many parts of the show...(Pink was great covering Heart and Queen, Def Leppard was good fun, James Gang was so freaking awesome, Stewart Copeland in full control, Sebastian Bach kicking ass) - it was an old school festival.
I was thrilled for Chad Smith to get a chance to play with Rush - he played with the same intensity and joy I would bring if that ever happened for me. Literally, a dream come true for him.
Was it fascinating to watch Omar Hakim and Danny Carey play YYZ with Rush? Damn right! Never in a million years I thought that either would happen. When I saw the video title I thought it was not true. Each drummer sounded like themselves, just as they should.

I don’t get the criticism of either over YYZ, especially since 99.9% of us on here would poop our pants in that situation.

No, just someone who can join the dots.

Not sour grapes. Taylor deserved to be celebrated, definitely. I'm just confused as to how so many others aren't celebrated to the same degree or more.

As has already been talked about on this thread.....Because Dave Grohl wanted to have a tribute to his friend and bandmate.
When your friend and/or bandmate dies you can have a memorial concert for him/her.
