Random Fact of the Day: Fender Bass

A certain bass Geddy Lee is known for playing. In June 2015, during Rush's R40 Tour, Geddy Lee told Toronto Life ten things he can't live without.  At number five, it's his 1972 Fender Jazz bass.  Here is what he said. "I bought it for $200 in the late ’70s at a pawnshop in Kalamazoo.  There’s something about its tone that’s just perfect for me. It’s  irreplaceable."

Neil Peart passed away on 1/7/2020. I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said about his influence. I'm shocked and saddened, but one of the greatest lines he wrote is found in the song "Headlong Flight": "I wouldn't trade tomorrow for today." I can't explain why, but it seems oddly appropriate. My condolences to Mr. Peart's family, band members and everyone else out there who were influenced/touched by his greatness. He meant so much to so many, transcending his drum work. The photo I'm (re)posting was shot on my phone during the @rush R40 concert in Phoenix in 2015. It's not a great photo, but it's from a memorable night when three gents from Canada played their hearts out for thousands of fans. That concert, if I'm not mistaken, was their third to last. I've been fortunate enough to see Rush perform six times (2004, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2015) I am grateful for his lyrics and for the band's music, which got me through so many tough times in my life that I've lost count. My mother used to play Moving Pictures on cassette in the car when I was young. I didn't appreciate Rush's music until years later, as a surly high schooler in suburban Phoenix listening to "Subdivisions" on @933kdkb (back when they played classic rock) while driving the same car in which my mother played #movingpictures all those years ago. Listening to "Subdivisions" way back in 2001 was the first time, I "got it." This band opened up an entirely new perspective toward life that I hadn't realized was possible and offered me a new way to view a world I didn't always understand. As I've grown older, Mr. Peart's humanistic lyrics were a guiding force for how to better learn not only about myself, but the people and world around me. The first Rush album I ever purchased (probably to Mr. Peart's chagrin) was Chronicles, a greatest hits compilation. Over time, I accumulated all of their studio and live albums on CD (I'm a child of the 1980s). Thank you for everything, Mr. Peart. Your music touched and influenced millions. #rush #rushband #neilpeart #thankyou #ripneilpeart #ripneil @geddyimages #alexlifeson #subdivisions #r40 #rushfamily #rushfans (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7KjcRMHiDs/?igshid=1q3c41the4x3m

Artists/Bands I’ve had the experience of seeing in concert:

Bryan Adams Bare Bones Tour

Taylor Swift Red Tour

Ed Sheeran Red Tour

Rush Clockwork Angels

Hedley Wild Live

Chilliwack 40th Anniversary Tour

Rush R40

Yes Yestival

Foreigner 40th Anniversary Tour

Honeymoon Suite Foreigner 40th Anniversary Tour

I think that my favourite has to be...R40.  Rush is my favourite band and it’s amazing what you can achieve with only three guys.  During R40, I also had the pleasure of hearing “Losing It”.  To hear that song live... it was incredible.  They only played that song in 2 cities.  And “Jacob’s Ladder”, another favourite.  I loved each concert that I went to, but if I had to pick 1... ;)
