ReflectedLight Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Just curious if they keep the amps on both sides at a set level during the show, or maybe they have some Rush personnel in the distance to dictate if the guitar or bass be turned up or down. The reason I ask is, there were a few songs where I had a hard time hearing Alex's guitar. Like it could have been turned up a few notches.

-D-RocK- Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 My guess is that the guy working the mixing board looks after all that. I noticed the guitars were a little thin for the first few songs of the Calgary show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrice Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I think the techs/FOH adjusts the volume, but with the band's imput. For example, in Dallas when Limelight started Alex's guitar was a little too low so he motioned to his tech to on stage (get it?) and adjust it. Sometimes they can be too loud. For Example, when I saw them on the R30 tour during RTB Alex's (maybe the band as a whole) was way too loud, so he kept signaling (from reading his lips he threw in a few colorful metaphors) to turn down. The venue's P.A. was clipping badly (this also happened when I saw them 3 weeks ago.) and so Alex's guitar ended up dropping out completely from the P.A. signal.

Brewtus Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 the guitar sound was amazing i'm sure, if i could have only heard it....geddy's bass was really squashing the guitar sound....way too loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
