NancyJohnson Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I've got this on blu-ray...it's a great disc. As an aside, I'd really like to see something REALLY in depth about Geddy Lee, his basses and various rigs, rather than the half-baked serenade that was this months Bass Player magazine article.

steve-soar Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Classic piece of music. Was on my "Walkman" for about a year. Arhh, to be 15/16 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Wasn't aware they had this DVD. Brilliant. Agree it would be nice to hear / see more of the gear Geddy uses rather than just his bass. He has an incredable sound from whatever bass he uses and sometimes wonder if its his own making or the sound guy that getting it set up for him. Maybe his personal engineer or bass tech sets it all up - who knows ? MORE DETAIL PLEASE GEDDY Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks Wateroftyne, Its just the kind of thing that makes Geddy more personal and why I've been a Rush fan since 1976. But does he actually buy all this gear himself and try it all out at home sort of thing or does his engineer come up with an idea and puts it to Geddy. Maybe i need to re-read it again in case i missed soemthing. It does sound as though he knows exactly what he wants. A lot of the gear mentioned i have never even heard of. Thanks again Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I've always been a fan of prog, but other than Spirit of Radio I've never really given Rush much of an earfull (I've owned Permanent Waves for years but not listened to it all, bad man that I am). However, thanks to Planet Rock and the new album I have arrived at Rushville and I'm loving it. Late to the party I know, but at least I got here eventually They seem to be really nice guys too, very comfortable with each other.
