Growing up on the Spirit of Radio, Tom Sawyer, Big Money, Subdivisions, Closer to the Heart, and many other good hits from these guys, I can't believe I missed the release of their latest live performance. Anyways, I was watching it at a music shop earlier this afternoon, and I noticed throughout the performance are 3 coin-op dryers running continually in the background on stage with what appears to be white sheets in them. According to the Wikipedia document, the performance was recorded in it's entirety without any songs removed...that means those dryers were running over 3-4 hours! Those were definitely some dry sheets. I wonder how many quarters they had to put in them for that!!!

Hopefully they were not connected to a gas supply!
(If by any miracle of fate they are electric, a 110v supply will prevent them from heating!)
Spontaneous combustion in a crowded arena or studio just can't be a good thing!

Sounds like great music, but i would think they (or hope) that they where just on with no heat..That would make it very hot to say the least..Not to mention the gas they might have used
I put this album on my Christmas list, hopefully my GF will be able to get it before Christmas! Here's some details on the washing machines...actually dryers... I saw in the video from a music review site:
He still uses a Trace-Elliot, however it is not on the onstage backline, but rather underneath the stage, for low-frequency emphasis, so he can feel the bass, along with hearing the notes, through his ear monitors. On recent tours, to "balance out the stage", Geddy has filled the empty space where his backline amps used to sit with industrial size Maytag coin operated dryers. The dryers are filled with Rush tour shirts. Coins are inserted throughout the show either by costumed crew members, "surprise" guests or by audience members who are selected at random. For the band's R30 tour, one dryer was replaced by a rotating shelf-style sandwich vending machine which was custom-outfitted with an enclosed blue lighting scheme that matched guitarist Alex Lifeson's stage-left Hughes and Kettner zenTera and signature TriAmp MKII amplifiers.

Rush......
Hey Steven:
Hope you got that live album for Christmas!! No one sings like Geddy Lee and no one drums like Neil Pert!! Hubby had already told me about the dryers in the background, as he has a friend that is really into Rush. Jerry Stiller also has a cameo in a live Rush concert video.
More appliances...check out the Judy's "Washerama" with the Maytag washer on the album cover.
