Guitar Solo Alex Lifeson RUSH Limelight Saratoga Springs New York NY SPAC 2010

Hits the footswitch at :32 to sustain that note and continues playing over the held note, cool move, Alex

[ACELLOFAWARENESS]

@cheesebutt1000 - it gets even better than that! rather than have a pre-recorded file of that sustain note for each show, which makes perfect sense and would be totally justified, i am pretty sure he records and samples it live at each show!! what a nut!! i sure wish, however, that they would push it up in the mix more like the studio recording, same with the 'subdivisions' voice Alex triggers, which they might as well drop since you can't hear it!

[UNGETABLE7]

I want a G3 with Gilmour, Lifeson & Rothery..

[rozeem6]

I was there!!!!

[capmkrob]

Note-for-NOTE! Sharp.

[TheRogerBK]

Alex is fucking awesome. Must be so fucking good to play a concert with all those crazy Rush fans singing all your songs... In my opinion, the fans of Rush are the best fans ever!

[DarkSnake153]

Zero dislikes, as is proper.

[ACELLOFAWARENESS]

@DarkSnake153 - well put, there is one thing i dislike however, and that's the fact that i filmed Freewill in its entirety and accidentally deleted it!!  I was livid for days, beat the shit out of myself so bad i needed 9 stitches. you can never go back, once the show is over it's over and i blew it for my collection :(

[drfunk444]

still one of the tastiest solos in fkg history

[Hyzleier]

[extradutyfelt1]

Alex lifeson is one of the best rock and roll guitar player´s ever..

[takunnji]

So beautiful. Amazing XD

[drfunk444]

Lifeson is a fukking Viking of Rock

[ACELLOFAWARENESS]

@drfunk444 - damn straight!!!!!

[Spaceddout]

God I want his Les Paul . Such an awesome guitar.

[ACELLOFAWARENESS]

@Spaceddout Gibson now makes one, the Axcess, but i can not believe that any such expensive guitar is made with a two-piece top like it is in the freakin' SEARS catalog!!!!!!! WTF!?!?!? i won't even buy one for that reason alone.

[roentgen571]

@ACELLOFAWARENESS are you talking about the book-matched pieces? That's pretty standard construction for even custom instruments to get a symmetrical look.

[ACELLOFAWARENESS]

@roentgen571 - I guess so, but i think it looks like cheap garbage! I have a beautiful Agile LP copy in spalted green that is one piece and looks beautiful! I know it is pretty standard, and so is me keeping my money in my pocket!

[mynamespitt]

@Spaceddout They just released it end of Feb.

[gumchewingdude]

@Spaceddout even more than that guitar, i want his talent :P

[RainsongProductions]

@Spaceddout For the affordable price of $6,194.99!

[Tod661]

What a great show..I was so impressed..4 hours counting the intermission...The Camera Eye was perfect..Didn't even play it for the Moving Pics tour

[LasChumpso]

Were u at jones beach for the Timr Machine tour?

[ACELLOFAWARENESS]

@LasChumpso  yeah, front row at Jones Beach, got the vids posted!

[eezyrider65]

SO GOOD! What kind of camera were you using?

[ACELLOFAWARENESS]

@eezyrider65 well, the video if good because I was 3rd row. the camera is just an ordinary Canon SX210 IS, $329 special at Best Buy. However, I taped a strip cut from a cotton make-up removal pad (you gotta go see a chick to get one...lol!!) over the mics to cut distortion a bit, letting the ends have a gap for limited sound to get in (yeah right, there is no limited at RUSH!). Was front row last night and did same thing but used cotton from a T-SHIRT to block a little more distortion.
