Alex Lifesonin mukaan viimeisimmät konsertit Geddy Leen kanssa ovat tuoneet jonkinlaista lopullisuuden tunnetta
Proge-legenda Rushin kitaristi Alex Lifeson kertoo Ultimate Classic Rockille, että viimeisimmät esiintymiset basisti-laulaja Geddy Leen kanssa ovat tuoneet tarvittua lopullisuuden tunnetta Rushiin. Joulukuussa Lifeson esiintyi Leen kanssa Lontoossa ja Torontossa. Esiintymiset olivat osa Leen ”My Effin’ Life” -omaelämäkerran kirjakiertuetta.
“Doing these shows with him was a no brainer. Because basically I just sat on a stage with him doing the stuff that we’ve been doing for 50 years in the back of a car or in an airplane or on the bus. We’re best of friends. So it was just getting up and riffing and laughing and goofing around. Just like we always have.”
“The audience in Toronto was like just being in a room with a bunch of friends,” Lifeson explained. “A lot of people didn’t feel they had closure after we finished the last tour. And I think this is a way of giving them a little bit. To see that everything is OK, that we’re still friends and together and doing stuff together, having the same kind of wonderful experience that we’ve always had.”
