you need to work more. There are some problems with your timing, I know limelight is not an easy song it requires a lot of concentration and being focused on the 4/4, 3/4 pattern if you want to stay on time.
I suggest that you focus more in odd meters if you want to play rush stuff.

You're tighter than the drummer you are playing with.
Play with a drum machine and play alone. Internalize it.
Play with your drummer too. I don't mean to dis him.
He should do the same.
Stay strong, confident, and maintain objective humility.
When you get it you will know it.
So will your peers.
It sounds like your initial arpeggios seem a little stiff..I think they can ring out for an ounce longer. Some of the notes past the 52 second mark are off. Good job though
Todd, I think that's a drum machine.
Captain, you have a lot of resources to improve your timing (Metronome, Drum Machine, Playing abit of drums yourself, but I've found that the best way is first internalize the song's own timing, Limelight is 4/4 and 3/4 changing tune and if you don't internalize that it will be very difficult for you to follow it.
Second you have to learn all of the changes, stops and such the song may have, that way you will be playing it without the worries of having to count every single beat of the song; if you learn how the song flows, get the feel of it, then timing won't be a problem anymore.
