Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee open the show with
“Spirit of Radio” just outside of Detroit on their Time
Machine tour, on which the trio is playing Moving
Pictures in its entirety—and much more. Lifeson is
shown with his all-stock Gibson Custom Les Paul
Axcess signature model in Royal Crimson. It’s outfitted
with Gibson high-output humbuckers, series/parallel
switching, a Floyd Rose tremolo with piezo-equipped
Graph Tech Ghost saddles, and two outputs for a multitude of blending options. Lee does more than hold
the low-end with his black Fender Custom Shop Jazz
bass, which features the alchemical symbol for amalgamation on the pickguard. Lee signed on with Orange
Amplifiers last summer and is now using two AD200
heads routed through two OBC 410 cabs.
