I thought some of you might be interested what I saw on Vintage Synth Explorer's forum:

Very cool, thanks for sharing. I always liked Geddy's keyboard work with Rush, especially the analog stuff.

I read a recent Bass Player interview with Geddy. He no longer owns his Taurus pedals, he sampled them for eternity back in the 90s and sold his set. When they were working on the recent album, the producer was a big Rush fan and insisted that Geddy bring back the Taurus pedals for the new album. Geddy had to borrow them from the friend he sold them to!

FWIW, I played the TOM SAWYER riff on that LP in the photo before Geddy did! I've done QC on around 99% of the Stage Ed's and I always play the riff as part of my sound quality check of each LP which moves through my hands.

I just wish I could have heard it live in Charlotte.

He's also using a vintage "Invisible" keyboard stand. I need to go dig mine out of storage. They're still among the best stands ever made.
