Geddy Lee Archives - Page 2

We made it to the top of the list, and this year’s reader favorite bassist is Geddy Lee. Lee returned to the stage this year, including appearances with Alex Lifeson. In addition, some old school Rush was included along the way.

Tech 21 has added a new piece of gear to their Geddy Lee Signature lineup with the YYZ Shape-shifter Signature SansAmp. The pedal has the same feature set as the limited edition Geddy Lee MP40 model, which swiftly sold out.

Tool’s Danny Carey joined Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson for the Taylor Hawkins Tribute concert. Chrisedge captured the footage of the trio performing “YYZ” with 4K audio and made this video available.

Axe Heaven is paying tribute to Rush with new mini bass and guitar replicas. The officially licensed products are 1:4 scale and individually handcrafted from solid wood with metal tuning keys.

On August 10th, Primus performed at Red Rocks as part of the 25th anniversary celebration of South Park. There was a big surprise: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson took the stage and performed “Closer to the Heart” with Matt Stone and the band.

In 2014, the world lost a musical giant with the passing of Jack Bruce. Jeff Berlin began working on a tribute album shortly after his passing, and now that album is available as “Jack Songs,” with an unreal cast of musicians.

Primus has been paying homage to the classic Rush album A Farewell to Kings by playing it in its entirety during their “A Tribute To Kings” tour. Geddy Lee finally got to witness the show and weighed in on the performance.

StickHits remastered a 2012 soundcheck video of Rush in Dallas, and it is a great behind-the-scenes look of the band. Here they are running through “Limelight”.

Rush’s iconic eighth studio album “Moving Pictures” turned forty this year and the celebrations are continuing. Rush is working with photographer Deborah Samuel to release rare photo outtakes for charity.

2021 marks the 40th anniversary of Rush’s “Moving Pictures”, and Tech 21 is helping to celebrate the milestone with a limited edition Geddy Lee signature preamp.

Rush was a constant force in the rock world for just over 45 years. Now you can learn more about their gigs in the “Rush Gig Poster Book”, which compiles posters and ads from their whole career.

When Rush called it a day in 2018, Geddy Lee took up collecting basses and eventually wrote “Geddy Lee’s Big, Beautiful Book of Bass”. With even more time on his hands during the pandemic, he took to writing a memoir.
