That makes total sense. Because I saw a video of Running Free from that tour and there was a random synth E chord during performance, specifically the singalong section. Never made sense to me, since he was playing the HSH non-midi Jackson. Now, it does.
Rush were among the first (since 2112/AFTK) with 3 sets of Taurus pedals (2 at Ged's and 1 at Alex's setup) and midi controllers later (after Moving Pictures). They did that until 50 something tour, where they reduced number of feet controlers to 1, due to addition of Loren Gold. Sting was also a pedal user since early Police days and still is.
It's all shows since it's first appearance.
When did he first use it? I haven't kept track of previous shows
Find my post about it in the topic. That was the date.When did he first use it? I haven't kept track of previous shows
Great find, Thank you! I think this explains how they did SIASL live back in ´86. I’ve always wondered how H managed to play that rather busy riff with all those chord changes whilst maintaining the synth pad chord at the same time.
Roland has a hold function on the pedalboard. So, when he hit the first chord, he pressed the hold button and that chord sustained infinitely. That's also how Walking On Glass was done. Play a chord, hit hold and then solo over it.
Well, on TFP tour, there was synth on it.
Speaking of synths and that stuff, I’m planning to buy a Boss SY1 pedal, is it worth it to do that kind of stuff (hold functions, SIT-ish tones and that kind of things)?
