Oof... as much as I want that, I'd be happy just to have the flacs of that live set from YYZ.

QuoteOver 100 items will be sold in the Property From The Archives of Alex Lifeson event, set to take place on 20 to 22 May. They include 60 vintage guitars, alongside other musical gear, wardrobe and memorabilia once belonging to the Rush co-founder.
A major highlight of the event is Lifeson's 1976 "Whitey" Gibson ES-355TD electric guitar, heard on all of Rush's albums from 1977's A Farewell To Kings to 2015's R40. It's valued at a "conservative estimate" of $200,000 to $300,000.
"I purchased this guitar in 1976, it was custom-built in Kalamazoo just for me. It has been my main guitar and is the iconic Alex Lifeson guitar," said the 68-year-old guitarist in a statement.

If you haven't heard it yet, the 40th anniversary of Moving Pictures boxed set comes with a Live in YYZ show from that tour, which is fantastic (obviously). One of the perks of a Spotify account is being able to listen to stuff like that without forking over $250 for the entire boxed set.

yeah been watching those remasters.
great stuff.
Alex Lifeson shredding back then. underrated.

Unfortunately this is mostly a bunch of 3 second clips, but Holy Shit! Front row footage from 1976!

Caravan2001 · July 19, 2023, 09:05:08 PM

I'm a guitar player, so I found this super awesome, but I think any Rush fan would also find it cool. Haven't really seen a lot of equipment and playing breakdowns with Alex.

khalpin · July 22, 2023, 05:14:59 PM

I am also a guitar player who also likes Rush who also thought that was awesome. Thanks for sharing. While he's not my favorite player, I don't think there's a guitar player out there who writes more interesting rhythm guitar than Alex. So much fun to play.

Great video. Also not a massive Rush fan and not even particularly a fan of the tone he's using on this video, lol.

Great gear stuff here though. Also big shout out to Veneman Music where I bought my first an only wah pedal.

Yeah, in the parlance of today's youth, I found his tone a little "suss". Crazy with all those stacks of amps he has in there but whatever. I was impressed he could still break down that solo as in depth as he did and play it pretty flawlessly. Was interesting to note that a lot of those solos were patched together by Geddy and Terry from bits and pieces.
