Tickets can be purchased here: Crafted in limited quantities, and destined to become a collector's item, the Geddy Lee Minimoog Model D pays tribute to the Rush legend with an exclusive satin red finish as a nod to Rush's Grace Under Pressure tour setup. Its custom VCA allows an extra sonic punch that elevates the classic Minimoog sound to new heights. It's a thrill to see the Minimoog Model D in that stunning red, so representative of one of the most fertile periods in Rush's creative history. I've always been mad for custom color instruments, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. It's just so beautiful.
