Bass ONLY Trax - The Spirit of Radio (Geddy Lee)

This is a Bass ONLY Cover Version of Rush's song The Spirit of Radio featuring Geddy Lee, their bass player and main singer since 1969. Due to the recent passing of their drummer, Neil Peart, the band is finished but their legacy and influence on rock and progressive rock lives on in so many musicians they inspired. And I hope you enjoy this recreation of the classic bass lines Getty arranged for this classic rock tune.

*Geddy Lee Weinrib, OC[1][2] (born Gary Lee Weinrib; July 29, 1953), known professionally as Geddy Lee, is a Canadian musician, singer, and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist, bassist, and keyboardist for the Canadian rock group Rush. Lee joined what would become Rush in September 1968, at the request of his childhood friend Alex Lifeson, replacing original bassist and frontman Jeff Jones.[3] Lee's first and so far only solo effort, My Favourite Headache, was released in 2000.

An award-winning musician, Lee's style, technique, and skill on the bass guitar have inspired many rock musicians such as Cliff Burton of Metallica,[4] Steve Harris of Iron Maiden,[5] John Myung of Dream Theater,[6] Les Claypool of Primus,[7] and Tim Commerford of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave.[8] Along with his Rush bandmates – guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart – Lee was made an Officer of the Order of Canada on May 9, 1996. The trio was the first rock band to be so honoured, as a group.[9] In 2013, the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after 14 years of eligibility; they were nominated overwhelmingly in the Hall's first selection via fan ballot.[10] Lee is ranked 13th by Hit Parader on their list of the 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Vocalists of All Time.[11]
