You never see any pictures of him using the 12 string part, though. If I was lugging that monstrosity around, there would be a 12 string part in every song.
Everyone ran out of film by the time Xanadu finished, when he plays the twelve string!
You guys can keep the double neck, I'm geeking over that wall of HIWATTS behind Alex in that first pic!

I've seen Rush in concert about a dozen times, but my memory is a little fuzzy (gee, I can't imagine why). Someone help me out here:
Is "Xanadu" live the only time he uses that 12-string neck?
As far as I know, and I'd like to think I know about this......
Geddy used the 4080/12 for Xanadu and the 4080 for A Passage to Bangkok.

i have also heard tell that he played the 4080 during natural science at times during the mp tour, but i don't remember seeing it.
These are awesome pics! I didn't see my first Rush concert until 1982 (Signals tour) so the double necks were pretty much out of use by then. I have seen them nine times total and I don't remember ever seeing Geddy get the double neck Ric out.
