I'm sure i fucked up copying this, but its a decent list. He dumped the P.R.S. guitars for this tour.
Yep, that looks pretty accurate from what I've seen on Rush.com
Garrison is a Canadian company. Lifeson has always been a supporter of Canadian guitar and gear companies. He used "Signature" (brand) guitars during the mid-1980's. Decent guitar but once they went out of business...
It was around that time that that Lifeson found PRS guitars.
Recently he's commented that the PRS with dual rectifier amps has become an all too common sound, this being one reason he's gone away from that tone.
The Howard Roberts fusion looks like a hollow body Les Paul. If you've the "Exit... Stage Left" DVD, that is the one he used for Tom Sawyer, around that time.

Aha, yes it does indeed answer the question! I can't refer to UABRS because I haven't got it...
...but I shall take your word for it! I'll hopefully get a copy when the re-releases happen in July (if they do indeed stick UABRS on DVD...)
The only other thing that's on my mind at the moment is Electric Co. - I'm just trying to get the effects right, wondering what input you might have (assuming it's a song you play now and then). I checked on various YouTube covers, and some had links pointing to different sound forums etc. but none work anymore!
"Help me [Jeff] Kenobi, you're my only hope!"
I've got a clever Zoom G1X box which simulates effects etc., so there's no "get hold of a delay stomp box, gain etc.", if you got any ideas as to how much delay, what type of gain etc., please let me know!
No pressure
EDIT - I'm more thinking Vertigo than pre-Vertigo (if you wanna call it that), because they sound vaguely different...
EDIT 2 - I think I've semi-cracked it, although I'm still interested to hear your suggestions and ideas sir! I was watching Chicago last night trying to get the delay right (Vertigo versions seem to be approx. 30ms rather than the 28ms on previous versions)...and I think I've also made a personal breakthrough in discovering the added benefits of changin the EQ lol...
While the DVD for "Red Rocks" isn't out yet, the VHS has been out for ages. Used copies can be had very cheap.
Answer # 2: THE ELECTRIC CO.
Ya see... you get some stompboxes... In lieu of that...
Overdrive through the whole song. A bit of boost in the solo. Delay wise, you should set a dotted 8th note delay at around 150 ms. The delay in the intro section seems louder than in the solo section and it might be a different time setting too... I will have to investigate a bit more. I do think that 150ms is a good starting point.
I think he's using the neck pickup but going to the bridge pickup for the solo but I need to confirm that. I will have to consult some pictures and video to be sure.
correction: I think the delay is to be at 225ms not 150ms

Cheers for that, a lot of technical stuff to take down but I'll take note of what you suggest
And re. UABRS, I know the VHS has been, but I haven't been able to track down copies around and about Norfolk and I have a distrust of using the net to order stuff lol...

No worries. Just hold out for the DVD, as it should be out in the stores by the end of August.

Can you list all the guitars Jimmy Page used at the Led Zepplein reunion concert?
Led Zeppelin O2 Set and Guitar list:
As for the basic Les Paul use, it is hard to tell if its the 1958 or 1959 Les Paul as most of the You Tube footage of the show is small and shaky. (Plus both guitars look VERY similar)
- Good Times Bad Times Gibson Les Paul Standard (either `58 or `59)
- Ramble On Gibson Les Paul Standard (either the `58 or `59)
- Black Dog Les Paul Standard (either the `58 or `59)
- In My Time Of Dying Gibson L5 (99.999999% sure)?
- For Your Life Gibson Les Paul Custom [Gibson Custom Shop reissue Black Beauty]
- Trampled Under Foot Gibson Les Paul Standard (either the `58 or `59)
- Nobody's Fault But Mine Gibson Les Paul Standard (either the `58 or `59)
- No Quarter Gibson Les Paul Standard (either the `58 or `59)
- Since I've Been Loving You Gibson Les Paul Standard (either the `58 or `59)
- Dazed and Confused Gibson Les Paul Standard (either `58 or `59)
- Stairway to Heaven Gibson EDS-1275 double neck. (Could be one of the recent reissues/probably the original)
- The Song Remains the Same Gibson EDS-1275 double neck. (Could be one of the recent reissues/probably the original)
- Misty Mountain Hop Gibson Les Paul Standard (either the `58 or `59)
- Kashmir looks to be his 1973 Gibson Les Paul Standard. [Originally was a gold top but was re-sprayed Cherry finish and a B-Bender installed.]
Encores:
- Whole Lotta Love Gibson Les Paul Standard (either the `58 or `59)
- Rock and Roll Gibson Les Paul Standard (either the `58 or `59)
Jeff (or anyone else up for answering if they reckon they know), another question or thrice;
Uno) You any idea how Edge gets the UTEOTW tone per chance? Compression, drive etc. but I'm wondering whether there's something else?
Duo) The Tele. he uses for Vertigo, what kinda pickup does that have? I mean, is it an uber single or a weird humbucker? I'm guessing it's what Teles have, but I'm just intrigued due to my ignorance lol...
Trιs) Regarding LPs, what's the difference between Custom, Standard and Studio models?
Thanks. When did he buy the 59 off Joe Walsh? I'm guessing before '75 since it seems to be out of Joes inventory by the time he joinded The Eagles.
He had the `59 by some time in 1969, if memory serves. I will check my books when I get home. I am pretty sure the 1959 and 1958 both came into Page's hands around the same time, the `58 being the backup to the `59.
This also makes sense as Jimmy would have crossed paths with Joe when Joe Walsh was in The James Gang.
JOE WALSH... A good friend to have! Not only did he give Jimmy Page the Les Paul but he traded a Gretsch Chet Atkins to PETE TOWNSHEND for an ARP Synth. The Gretsch in questiong being THE sound of "Who's Next" and "Quadraphenia" albums. "Baby O'Riley", "Won't Get Fooled Again"... were the Gretsch.

Trιs) Regarding LPs, what's the difference between Custom, Standard and Studio models?
1.) The overdrive sound for "Until The End Of The World" appears to be the Boss OD-2 overdrive. The Boss OD-2r will also get you close. The OD-2 has a bit of a compressed sound; more so than a Boss SD-1 (the OD-2 and SD-1 were both in Edge's ZOO gear)
2.) The Vertigo Tele, by all acounts is a great sounding but stock 1966 Fender Telecaster.
I know that many of the Edge's guitars have had the pickups re-wound. This might be the case but I've yet to hear it confirmed, about the Tele in question.
3.) Les Paul models:
This Wikipedia entry answers the model differences pretty well and is a good place to start.

Joe Walsh didn't like the shaved neck and it's one of the reasons he got rid of the guitar. Jimmy loved the shaved neck and had the 1958's neck altered when he obtained it as a backup.
Whether or not Joe sold it to Jimmy or gave it to Jimmy has been argued equally. Even if Jimmy did buy it, he got a great return on his investment.
ALSO...
If memory serves... Edge did begin using the Sobbat Drivebreaker for the solo on Until The End Of The World around the time of the Elevation tour and again on the Vertigo tour.
