Rush in Manchester UK 14-10-07

Last night went to watch Rush play at the MEN Areana,with fellow forum member &friend Pete Greenwood and it was a very good show.
He used his Rickenbacker bass on one song which was Passage to Bangkok,the bass sounded good and i could'nt tell if it was his old bass,but it was nice to see him playing a Rickenbacker bass again.I just wish that he used it for more than one song.

So do I, Shawn. Rush is better with a Ric! Cheers!

Hello Jim,watching Geddy with his Ric was really nice.My favorite Rush DVD is still Exit Stage Left,which he used his Rickenbacker throughout.The concert last night was excellent,i'm glad i went now if Yes tour next year i'll be a very happy man.

I was a bit let down with the sound when the Rick was out during their show here in Houston. Geddy has the "Geddy Special" all tubed up through the DI to get a twangy sound and they apparently did not run the Rick through the same pathway. I imagine if they did it would have fried the PA in most of the venues...

Just an excellent show overall!

Your right Robert,Rush do know how to put a good show on.

It's his old bass. I've looked at the pics carefully and it has the badass and the big old tuners on it.

I hope the show was as good as Wembley arena last week.

None. They perform in two sets.
