  1. Saw him in Buffalo. He was in the front row on Geddy's side.
  2. Nope, not pre-recorded! It's a mix. He's really singing, but I think he's singing over the vocals from the studio version. You can definitely hear his live voice, and his voice with the effects.
  3. I'm glad I got it over OLV in Buffalo. OLV lacks the power live that it has on the studio version. All of the transitions in tempo and guitar effects are awkward, if that makes sense. How It Is was a nice treat since they hadn't played it before this tour, and it was nice that they all added a little extra here and there that isn't on the studio version.
  4. For the first half of the tour, he was using his old Flame Maple Red Fender Custom Shop Jazz. Through the first half of the Time Machine tour, it had no pick guard, and since then has had pick guards with two different alchemy symbols. He was using the Shoreline Gold Jazz for Working Man (and Subdivisions for a short stretch), and the Lake Placid Blue Jazz was being used for either Working Man or Subdivisions (never for both in the same show). Beginning in Montreal, and continuing ever since, he's used the Lake Placid Blue Jazz for Subdivisions, the Shoreline Gold Jazz for Hemispheres, and what I believe is the 1966 Fiesta Red Jazz for Working Man. Speaking of the 1966 Fiesta Red Jazz, I do not believe he has used it for Cygnus X-1 at all. It looks Candy Apple Red in every pic/video I've seen. He did use the 1960 Fiesta Red Jazz for Cygnus X-1 the first three shows (the same one for TSOR). In some shots, you can see wear on the horn on the bass he uses for Cygnus X-1, and it does not match the wear on the red one he uses for Working Man.
  5. TY7GN? It's a reference to the last page of the S&A tourbook: http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/imagedb-tourbook-snakes-and-arrows.php
  6. PRS with piezzo pick-up, I think It's a Les Paul, but with some kind of acoustic effect. He uses a 6-string acoustic for Natural Science, and a 12-string acoustic for Closer to the Heart, though.
  7. I Missed the switch, but I did see hiim looking over at his tech a few times at the beginning of the song... Great view, terrible lag here, tonight.... Now during the keyboard solo in Jacob's Ladder, he's stepped down the stairs on the side of the stage and is having words with his tech. Yeah... He did that in Montreal too... Probably steps aside cos he's got nothing to do during the clouds are parted part... That's a good point. It was probably something like "Check out the nose on that loser behind the keyboards."

  9. Alex swapped his guitar during TSOR. Wasn't listening too close. Was it out of tune or did he break a string?
  10. Every B night, including Newark, which was the B set with Losing It instead of The Wreckers. A and C nights, as well as Toronto II and NYC, had the FireGlo one.
  11. But they just played B in Newark the night before (again, with Losing It instead of The Wreckers). I think they'll play set C in KC, which is what was expected before all the special setlists, and makes sense after doing a B and an A. B-A-C makes more sense to me than B-A-B.
  12. Like they've been doing with 2112 since 1996, they've tuned down Hemispheres this tour (both Alex's and Geddy's instruments, obviously the drums can't be easily re-tuned on the fly). This allows Geddy to hit the high notes without wrecking his voice. So yes, it does sound different.
  13. Each time they played it, the setlist was different. In Toronto, they played a B setlist for the first set, switching out The Wreckers to make room, and then the second set was the same as the C setlist. In Newark, the first set was the same as in Toronto, but the second set followed the B setlist. And then last night, they basically added it to an A setlist, leaving out Clockwork Angels to make room. Since the first half of the A and C setlists are identical, the only R40 songs that they have not played in a setlist with Losing It are Clockwork Angels and The Wreckers. While I'm here, I'll add that because of the very unique setlist they played the second night in Toronto, the only two songs they didn't film are The Wreckers and The Camera Eye.
  14. I think it first showed up in Buffalo. It was in front of Geddy's amps during the Overture. I believe that trend continued through the other Canadian-Border US dates. Not sure beyond that.
