Slack jaw gaze Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Are the mirrors on the keyboard purely for theme purposes or is there a functional purpose? Did everyone notice the camera shot on The Garden where you can see Geddy in one of the mirrors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I think both. Theme and to keep an eye on those rapscallions behind him. :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Normally mirrors don't reflect Lee's face without cracking. Maybe he's wearing them in..? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 And now for a serious answer...Yes, they are functional and serve a purpose. The mirror is focused directly on Neil and it's so Geddy doesn't have to physically turn around and look back to see when Neil is going to start certain songs, like Tom Sawyer for example. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack jaw gaze Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 I've never noticed these before. Are they new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) Normally mirrors don't reflect Lee's face without cracking. Maybe he's wearing them in..? :rfl: No doubt one of the funniest lines I have read on this forum. List of Rush topics that have nothing to do with the music.........that I thought one of us didn't care about1. The engine oil in Neil's bike2. The logo's on Geddy's shirt3. The mirrors beside Geddy on the stage Just curious.................... Edited October 26, 2013 by Narpet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack jaw gaze Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 You may notice I wasn't bitching about the brand, color, reflective capabilities, the finish, the angle they point, their weight, or their lack/excess of bling. I simply am wondering if they are decorative, functional or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coventry Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Originally the keys were mobile and mounted on casters. Geddy could push them around stage as he sang; thus, he had to know what was behind him if were to back into his original spot stage left. Once the keys became fixed around the T4E tour, he left the mirrors up as a memento of how needlessly complicated Rush used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
