I think Dave would have invited comparison to Neil because he would have used the big kit and played the Neil "thing". Anika will do her own thing that's so far removed it can't be compared to Neil.
Plus a fresh approach for Ged and Alex to play with every night which is good for them.

One point for you Steve. :-)

Though Dave would have play Neil's part way better than Neil himself. :D

PS : if you don't know, I've never been a fan...

More importantly, will she go for a double pedal, or not?. :)

I just came across this interview with Anika. She shares some information on her playing Neil’s drum parts.

The Grace Under Pressure concert Blu Ray comes out soon. It will include the drum solo which was NOT on the vhs release. This is kind of a big deal for Neil fans. I'm looking forward to it.
