It's no mystery. All three of these guys saw themselves as professional musicians rather than "rock stars". It showed in their art, their conduct and their personal lives. All three were perfectionists, always trying to get better, always refusing to compromise on less than their very best. All three had time. Neil studied with Gruber, not to get more technically proficient, but to get more feel, better pocket. He was already incredibly accurate, a human metronome, but he was trying to find a way to let the instrument breathe, come alive, rather than just be in perfect time. And, yes, it is amazing that one can be at the top of their craft and still desire to improve. Easily one of the things I have always admired the most about this band. That and their respect for the music, their fans, themselves and each other. No other band will ever achieve all of this.

Geddy developed his "flamenco guitar" style as a way to play quick notes because of tendonitis in his forearm, made it hard to move his index and middle fingers fast enough. The better he got at it, the more he incorporated it into his playing. Now it is just so smooth, you cannot even hear a difference in how he is picking.

One of the secrets to Geddy’s tone has to do with how hard he attacks those strings. His dynamics on those strings gives it a tone that no processors or strings can get you if you aren’t going to pluck those strings like they owe you money. I’ve heard a lot of guys play every note correct, have the right strings, have a signature Geddy Jazz bass and the same Sans processor, but can’t capture his tone because they can’t beat those strings like a they slapped your mother.

That really is like 90% of it. And you can hear its effect on his tone throughout all of his equipment changes. From the P-Bass to the Rick to the Jazz Bass and even the Steinberger and the Wal which sounded thinner to me but still had that attack of him laying into it.

I met Geddy Lee with my mother when I was very young and knew I enjoyed how Rush sounded, but now that I'm older and absolutely love bass I know Geddy had a massive part in what I love about the instrument. I sincerely wish I could meet him again and thank him for inspiring this passion in me, there are aspects of playing and listening to bass that even today I have to pause for a moment and think "well no wonder I play/enjoy this sound, that's how Geddy plays". Music is never a competition to me, but if it were, Geddy Lee would win. Greatest bassist of all time in my opinion. Thanks for covering this performance, it's phenomenal!

Then next tour on Clockwork Angels they brought back ‘Where’s My Thing’(also a instrumental)from Roll The Bones 1991, which was ONLY played live on that one tour, and put the bass solo at the beginning of it and then it led into the song so perfectly.🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎹🎤Check that one out from Clockwork Angels live, it’s full title on the Blu-ray is “Where’s My Thing/Here It Is.”

Geddy is why I started playing bass when I was 12 years old and why I still love thumping. He has so much style and skill. Then to sing and play keyboard with his feet all at the same time. He still just blows my mind. I really hope that he and Alex find a handful of guest drummers to take back out on the road while they're still able. (Alex has some arthritis) Neil inspired almost every great drummer working today. I'm sure they wouldn't have to search too hard to find a few to come jam with them. Nobody could replace Neil. That's why I would imagine it more fitting to find a few.

I saw Rush live for the first time on 27 March 1976. They were an opening act for Styx. Almost three months later to the day in June 1976 they played the exact same set in front of their hometown fans as the headline act Toronto's Massey Hall. You can hear that set, including the encore, on the album "All The World's A Stage". By the end of "Bastille Day" they were my favorite band. They remain so to this day. I made it a point to get to at least one show on every tour thereafter. When I found a girlfriend that wanted to go to a Rush show with me, I married her 💯. We took our kids to their first Rush shows. As it happened to work out, the Test For Echo, Vapor Trails and the Time Machine tours all made stops at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington. Yep there is an actual place in Washington state called George. Much to our eldest daughter's chagrin her mum and I went to the R30 show on our own. It was like hearing the soundtrack to our life and times.

I love how you describe Geddy’s playing as Authoritative. The reason he plays like that is because he knows every note in the song and knows what notes are coming next. That’s the only way you can play like that, if you know every note. Here’s something you might enjoy as well. Neil plays with the same authority. Here’s a perfect example. Watch him towards the end of the song. The way he hits his cymbals and toms with such force…again you can only do that if you know what you are supposed to play next. Everything is clean and in time, even at the end of the song when he is throwing down his double kicks. Just so clean and no misses. He never ever rushes into rolls or getting to a cymbal. They are just amazing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o362aqhvndOAntUsi=I-keM0gtT4myORoa

On this Time Machine tour they had major attention to detail, stuff that few people without binoculars would ever see. Every boom cymbals stand on Neil’s drum Kit has some sort of steam punk looking gauge on the round part of the boom. Alex has a crowd of Barbie dolls behind his pedal board, all holding up signs for Alex, like groupies. I only know about them because I watched a video where his guitar tech was interviewed and he pointed them out and said that it was part of his job, on top of all of the guitar gear he has to have ready for the show. He has to set them all up in a particular way that Alex wants his groupies set up. There are tons of tiny details most of us never see. I only know about the boom stand steam punk gauges because of the video about Neil’s tech where he pointed out all of the details. Anyone who went to the Time Machine tour also know that all of Neil’s symbols have an image of gear teeth, so the overhead camera shot makes it look like his cymbals are a bunch of gears from above. They show these overhead views on the large screen behind them. At that time, they had the largest flat screen that was portable. At least that’s what his tech said. Neil’s toms are also inlayed with emblems from every studio album they ever made, his drum set had tons of details all over it for this tour.

On your Freewill video note his thumb placement. While I have been learning to become a bassist the past 12 years I've been playing guitar for about 40 now. And one of the keys is adapting to the instrument. The older Geddy models had VERY thin necks while the one he is playing here is definitely thicker. Note how his thumb is resting but not being over in almost a Jimi Hendrix style where you could play root notes. On guitar playing for long hours at time moving from a thumb over on chords to a thumb on the back of the neck for some leads is just something you develop over time if you play a quite a bit. To me Geddy adapts to whatever he is playing and when. In the early 80s he used a Wal bass on some songs, pretty sure on The Big Money and those had really wide and thick necks. While I never saw him play one of those live I can only imagine the didn't use a thumb over much with them. Very nice videos BTW, definitely enjoying your content!

I'm late in the game, but I remember Geddy talking about his right hand technique in an interview with Fender when he released his signature bass. I don't remember much, but I do remember him mentioning that the raking technique you're looking at around 11:30 was inspired by Les Claypool when they toured with Primus in the early 2000s, and he uses it when he wants to get a little extra power. If I find the link I'll post it!

The solo was always improvised, and was a little different every time I heard it, but this one seemed to me was Geddy saying "I think I don't ever have to play this song ever again, because it will not get any better."
