Tom Sawyer live.

[Oscar South]

Hey, does anyone know what what notes Geddy plays in the intro of live versions of this song ([url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2jBLGuVx_o"]can hear it here[/url]) that weren't in the original ([url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7DFsBcVMDA"]which can be seen here[/url]). I can't seem to figure out exactly what the low ones are with all the distortion and stuff, if he just played octaves it'd go down to a low D (and her plays a 4 string live obviously), does he just hit a low E? I think thats what the synth is playing at this point in the song too. I'll have another look a bit later and post if I can get it.
Cheers.

Oh yeah by the way, does anyone thing Geddy looks like Yoko Ono in the Tom Sawyer music video? heh.

'Tis the same line apart from a little ad lib but as far as the low pedal note, it's always an E

E to E
E to D
E to A
E to C

just like the original.
Great tunes to play- brings back so many memories of my formative playing years.
