Here's a deeper cut from the SIGNALS album that Atlanta's THE SPIRIT OF RUSH rarely get to perform because of the layered parts. For this show, they enlisted Jeff Blanks to cover those very distinctive synth parts, which allowed multi-instrumentalist Ed Shelton to focus on the bass. And that's also Ed we see recreating the part of Count Floyd (from SCTV) that Rush would feature a video intro from when performing this song live. Of course, true fans will require NO further explanation about what's going on here. This was a joy to behold in a live setting, especially if you had those 3D glasses on.
THE SPIRIT OF RUSH is:
Vicki Flier Hudson - lead vocals
Reece Boyd - guitar
Ed Shelton - bass, keyboards
Casey Shelton - drums
Jeff Blanks - keyboards (guest appearance)
