earth2112shine Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Just watched Leave That Thing Alone on the new Blu Ray. Geddy plays an AMAZING solo then apologies for it. Just love it, tell you wot, if I was that talented I wouldn't be apologising I think it just a shame we don't get a few more solo's like that from Geddy. Best bass player in the world for me, solo on man, solo on !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I thought the apology was pretty funny. The tone Geddy says it in is like "Yeah, we're awesome, sorry, but I'm sure you didn't mind." and I was looking at the TV in awe that they actually did that. It was style, it was awesome, WHY DIDN'T THEY DO IT DURING THE ENTIRE LEG OF THE TOUR?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangiato Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Something funny he said when they were playing at MSG http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...xgkbW5ec#t=318s Not sure if he said it at the other shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Geddy is a bass playing monster in this concert!! I'm just watching this video right now for the first time and had to stop after Spirit of the radio to post here.. holy fukk Geddy's on fire with that bass!!! I don't even remember him being that good when I saw him in Toronto.. wow! and I just realized, the apology is because it's an instrumental, an indugence... because there's no singing, it's like they're leaving the audience out of it. hence, the apology.. anyways, all three of the guys are AMAZING in 'Spirit of radio' during the jam part. and I don't care what you say, Geddy Lee sang the high part WAY better than he should have at his age, the guy should be stone cold mute by now, fukk. DAMN we're lucky these guys are still doing it!! Edited November 17, 2011 by MMCXII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagger Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I totally agree with you 'earth2112shine'. I've always wanted to hear Mr. Geddy 'indulge' more. Mr. Geddy, Mr. Alex, & Mr. Neil, are incredible musicians, so they should 'indulge' all they want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Gilby talking about it afterwards. I was looking forward to that bit when I saw the DVD earlier today... I wasn't disappointed! Excellent job, Geddy!

I looked up a youtube video of it, apparently they did it. It wasn't very extensive though and no apology, just a bow. Anyways, it wasn't anywhere near as awesome as what he did on the DVD.

I certainly didn't mind while watching the movie, both in theatres and after the DVD was released. It was one of my favorite parts in the film. There's no bassist like Geddy. "Yes, we apologize for that bit of indulgence there. We just can't help ourselves." You can indulge all you want, Geddy. You're just that awesome. Slappa dat bass!

Witnessing that mad bass work on Leave That Thing Alone up close in Pittsburgh in 2010 almost made me spontaneously combust. My whole section started chanting "Ged-dy! Ged-dy! Ged-dy! Ged-dy!" I don't think he even bothered to apologise that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole DVD has some of the most ferocious playing I've ever seen from them, it's incredible. I think Geddy's humble enough that the apology for doing something like that is probably genuine (he says it during Mal Nar too). But I wish he'd do it more!
