Due to shipping costs, Rush rented most of their equipment locally
for all four Japanese concerts, however Alex and Geddy did use their
own instruments. Neil had a replica of his kit created at Tama
headquarters, minus the rotating platform, thus faced away from
the crowd when playing his electronic drums.
In addition, no lasers or pyrotechnics were used in Japan.
