I still can't believe I will never witness this magic live again. 3 old friends that made life tolerable. Looking forward for album releases, tour dates. These guys never disappointed. To all the roadies & crew that helped make this magic happen, THANK YOU !!!! You were also the unsung heroes. Thanks to the entire RUSH family.
That fat analog synth sound, that underlay and swirled around the guitar, bass and drums like a phantom fourth member was a major part of both Rush's sound and their cool factor. I loved how synth was an option for the band, rather than a perpetual presence. They could hit those pedals anytime they needed more ambiance, then cut back to being the raw trio when rocking out.
They had "redundant" stuff, doubles of everything. Tim Myer built the switcher that changed ALL the audio signals over at one instant. Just a few years ago, Geddy gave him back the switcher they had used for years...
About 1982, Oberheim wouldn’t give Rush a free synth, even though they were playing arenas. The Oberheim rep said “you can buy one at the music store”.
I remember Geddy saying something about the 'long awaited interface' being made for him. I saw a video clip from eighty something where Neil loses the sequencer for a brief moment and Geddy turns around and just looks murder at him.
Im pretty sure that Bob Moog build the taurus for organ player, but under the feet of Geddy Lee or even a drummer or guitar player can be a deadly weapon able to make the earth shaking 😂.

I am so grateful to have seen this magic happen so many times over the years.
I've learned so much about Rush's sound listening to these interviews, thank you for uploading these are fantastic
Awesome video. I love hearing how they did it in the pre- digital days! I feel the sound was better too!

I'm pretty sure this is the guy that was with Geddy when I met him outside the Skydome after a Blue Jays game in the late '80s or early '90s.
Are you kidding? This is absolutely a real TREAT! So Cool. Thanks so much! Sens me the bill! lol
So much more than a roadie!
This interview rocks! I've always wondered what life before MIDI was like for Rush! Thank you for putting this together and sharing. Excellent work!

5 of everything.
Epic interview! Your images add a lot of context to the interview; thank you for that also.
Thanks, so much! Did you listen to/watch all 3 parts?
@@twocargar I did. That was complicated technology, particularly running in a live environment. The Rush synths still sound futuristic today.
Jack over here talking about maybe the first use of triggers on drums. how cool.
Tony geranios
this 3 part interview is great, I love both bands and to me rock music history is as interesting as the music itself, thanks
Thanks so much!
Awesome.
Thanks for this video....
About 1982, Oberheim wouldn’t give Rush a free synth, even though they were playing arenas. The Oberheim rep said “you can buy one at the music store”.
Wow, I had no idea!
@@twocargarjack told me that. I have known him since 2010, when I was living in vegas.
Great video. Just a correction they didn’t use Roland PK-5s. They used the Korg MPK-130 pedals

well, i understood absolutely nothing....I just loved going to the 20+ shows I went to
Great stuff! Any idea when you'll upload the remaining two parts?
Sorry for the delay! Part 3 is coming later this week!

Dave Luce was chief engineer at Moog then and designed the Taurus pedals (and the Polymoog).
We need one from Neil's tech Larry allen
