Rush Tour

That's cool.

1990 was the first Rush Tour I did.

It was Presto.

And I was the lighting guy on it.

northeast um bruce was a dear friend he was also a very close friend of andy curran's that's how i met andy and this came to me from the band with the inscription of thanks for all the great reviews this thing means a lot to me but i busted it out this morning because our episode today uh involves something that I wanted to do a little, you know, making sure my research and memory were correct.

But, you know, Rush Tour books were amazing for so many reasons.

Nobody knows this better than you.

But one of the reasons was, you know, each band member had a page where they talked about their equipment for the tour and in some cases what they used on the on the album that related to that tour often these were hilarious right yeah mostly in alex's case he just made stuff up which was great correct but um the tour book thing just so cool and no one did it better yeah But I brought this out to check on some of the Alex equipment things because our topic today is our favorite Alex Lifeson guitar solos.

All these bands have to do is just put out something that looks distressed, smaller, and something from the past.

I saw a guy in the bathroom at the Chief Trick Show with a current Rush Tour shirt.

It looked good.

I said, now that is how a merch shirt should look.

But it's that split second decision.

When I say it depends is, How aware is the audience of what's happened here? You know, there was a night early in the Rush Tour.

I mean, there were videos all about it where Geddy Lee's bass was not on for the beginning of 2112.

Oh,
