LerxstLuthier Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hi everybody! I'm pretty new here...this is my way of introduction. My Name is Freddy Gabrsek, I'm a luthier and I have done a lot of work for both Alex and Geddy. Recently I was sent some video footage of my band from 1991 that I had not seen before....so I'm sharing it with you. We are covering YYZ and Lakeside Park in this clip, I'm the guitar player. Hope you like it and I'm looking forward to lots of discussions here on this forum about my favorite band on the planet! Cheers! Freddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenken Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Very nice job. The whole band is very tight, I can tell all 3 of you were very experienced by this point. Always nice to hear. And surprisingly, the singer is pulling off Geddy's style very well. A lot of times you watch Rush covers on youtube when they try to sound like them, and sometimes it's good until someone starts singing. Usually really painful to listen to, but this guy wasn't at all. Strong singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't try to sound like Geddy, but he had a nice tone, nice grit and rarely pitchy. QUOTE The keyboardist is good too on "limelight"! Ah...you found that one....hehe. The keyboard player was a good singer too. Just an anecdote, he bought Geddy's Oberheim OB-1 synth that was used for Moving Pictures. It sounds fantastic!

FountainOfSyrinx Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Probably two of the best covers I've ever heard of Rush all around just solid. The fans were into it too. Musical talent is very good. The singer is very good at doing the Geddy thing. I honestly thought y'all we're using a backtrack of Geddy in the very beginning. Amazing work.
