I now understand how Geddy Lee gets his warm, tender, juicy bass sound. He plays through rotisseries! The sweet, honey-glazed tone was delicious!

Until seeing behind the scenes footage from their recent DVD's I had no idea how funny these guys are. 
If you haven't seen it already. Search You Tube for Geddy's sledding safety PSA (Public Service Announcement). It's a total hoot!
Great pic.

I don't understand. Why dryers, and now rotisseries? |

He didn't like the absence of space behind him, so he put vending machines, washers, and driers behind him to fill the void. |

Originally the dryers were from a very wet concert (Rio maybe?) where they were constantly drying stuff, so they thought they'd save time (and be funny) by putting them onstage.
I guess these guys get very hungry while playing. |

And also, now he does a direct in connection, so I don't think he even has any amps... just the speakers under the stage. I'm not sure if thats accurate though. |

Thats kind of mistake Geddy might have made had he not had the lyrics right there for him.  |

A little heavy on material from the new album for my tastes, but I won't complain about it. They played my two favorite songs, Limelight and Subdivisions, and the only thing that I can say I am REALLY disapointed I didn't get to hear was Vital Signs. |

I assume the monitor dealays what the pedals are currently set to, as he's now pushing a lot of synths through those pedals.
Just a guess ^^
