Toto was another studio band....absolutely fantastic musicians....excellent post production work on their songs... but the technology was just not there yet when it came to reproducing their studio sound in a live format.
Alex Lifeson...yup... I've been to more than a few Rush concerts....they're great performers although the (live) sound is sometimes kinda sketchy......and another guy who uses a highly processed guitar sound is Pat Metheney...
Metheney is awesome in concert... and his music sounds BETTER live than on CD...if that's at all possible.
As a totally hack keyboardist... I took Tom S. slam against "synthesizers" kinda personal back then.... LOL.

I'm admittedly one of the few that prefer's the 80's Rush sound with all the effects, "A Show Of Hands" is one of my favorite DVD's and one of the tours I saw in person.

Hey man it was serious issue back then, remember the fallout from EVH using the ivories on Jump? LOL a near crisis at Guitar mag.
