Here is an article about the gear used on the tour.

Went to Brum and thought the overall sound was spot on - although I would have liked the bass to have been a bit more prominent.

I think that has more to do with Geddys bass sound being a horrible distorted mushy fart than anything else.
If a sound guy is given a sh*t sound to start with there's not much he can do with it to be fair.

+1. I don't know what Geddy is thinking of these days. or Alex, for that matter.

Mush.

I thought Alex's guitar sound was actually much better than it has been for ages the other night.
Looking at his gear list for this tour he's not using as much Hughes & Kettner gear & is also using the Fractal audio effects stuff which seems to have improved things considerably IMO.

Really? Good.

Are you listening, Geddy?

[tonybassplayer]

I just think that they should notch it back a little and let's hear the three instruments. It's impossible to totally recreate the album sounds so let's just hear clearly three excellent musicians playing in unison.

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

That guitar solo in 'analogue kid ' . Something else. Perfect sound

I was at the O2 show - 8th row floor seats. Admittedly murky sound at the beginning but that seems to be part and parcel of live music these days. Geddy's tone was there but a little hard to decipher when everyone was playing but when soloing or in the quieter moments it sounded great. A faultless performance, incredibly enjoyable and a lesson in how it's really done. Several goosebump-raising moments, particularly Carnies and Headlong Flight from the CA set, and an totally unexpected Manhattan Project.

Yes, Carnies & Headlong Flight were pretty fantastic.
They played Manhattan Project at the O2 did they? The non-setlist surprise song at the NEC was The Pass.

I thought the CA material I heard on the YT clips of these shows were brilliant live. And Geddy's voice sounded good. I'm actually looking forward to the DVD!

It seems they are using two setlists on this tour, mostly identical but for a few minor changes. Instead of The Pass, we got Bravado, which suited me fine. I think we were also treated to The Body Electric instead of Dreamline.

I was dead chuffed with Body Electric,it was the 1st Rush record....a single...!!!! ....that I ever bought,and I think (if memory serves..) that it had Analogue Kid on the "flip" side.
