Geddy Lee R40

i've got that tour program from the hemispheres tour around here somewhere. oh yeah, here it is. i marked that they played 'xanadu', he would've needed the 4080/12 for that one, right?

quite the journey to get this scan posted. if it works.

 
You live in Canada and have friends who have never heard of Rush?!
Isn't that illegal in Canada?!

Not knowing Alex and Geddy's real names is illegal in Canada. As is mispronouncing "Peart".

You guys would be surprised at how few people know Rush here. It's blasphemy. They'd rather waste their ears on Justin Bieber or whatever than Rush...a true Canadian legend.

No joke, someone was like "Who the hell names their son Geddy?"
And I was like "Oh my Gawd...you didn't just say that...OMG...Imma bee-slap these fool.."
 
I was about to pull the trigger but there's too many fees! Was going to get Van Halen tickets but their prices are outrageous. I think I'll pass this time, when I saw Rush 2 years ago I didn't like the whole orchestra thing they had going on. Unless this is their last tour ever? Or should I spend my money buying Rolling Stones tickets? Those guys are even older.
 
Im 46, my first show was GUP.
I always remember Geddy putting that he plays Roto sound strings and badass in the program equipment lists.
Always baffled me how Roto sound ads and Leo Quan ads rarely used Geddys mame as advertising. Even the Roto 66 packages list other bassists but can't ever t
Remember seeing geddys picture on any rotosound packages.
Always wondered if he was Endorsed and getting paid or if he just preferred them and listed him for the fans own technical information

Based on a statement in the press release about this tour, it might be their last.

I just hope he omits this particular moment in history in his recollection of the last 40 years....
