Part 3/7:
Why Geddy Lee's Role is Evolving
Geddy Lee, who turns 73 this summer, has long been the band's keyboardist during recording sessions and live shows. However, with the upcoming tour, he will step back from playing keyboards on stage, relieving himself of that responsibility to enjoy a more relaxed performance style—focusing on singing and bass while showcasing some of his "fancy dance steps," as he humorously commented.
This strategic move not only honors Lee's well-deserved rest but also aims to keep the live performances fresh and engaging. Having an additional keyboard player allows Rush to deliver more nuanced arrangements and diverse sound textures, enhancing the overall concert experience.
