upstateNYfan Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 What I don't understand is why they feel the need to doctor up the videos. I'd rather have a raw presentation than one where the lips do not match the words as I have noticed in a few of them. At first I thought it was my imagination, now I know it isn't. Where? I didn't catch that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The past two tour DVDs are completely uninteresting to me, so I'll say sure, it could be the worst Rush DVD for all I care. Love all the other official performances though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 CA Tour is okay. A Show of Hands is the worst - the setlist is plain awful. aren't they the goddamn same? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grover Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 They keep making DVDs from the final show on the tours. Silly. Do it after a couple of weeks so they are playing well and after a few days off to have the best voice possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxdistortion Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 CA Tour is okay. A Show of Hands is the worst - the setlist is plain awful. oh dude, I cannot listen to Rush at all from 1987-1992 when it comes to live. Even when they DID play Xanadu, 2112, Freewill, all those ones. the solid state equipment they were using, the "funkyness" in geddy's vocal singing style, the tightly tuned drums... thank god in '93-94 they swithced back to a more organic sound. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Nothing special, like most of the recent releases. Agreed on the terrible editing. Nothing compared to the great concert film known as Exit...Stage Left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky6 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 grover,, this happen with alot of bands, they for some odd reason always wait till the very last show of the tour to record. never understood.. why they do that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disappointed in how hollow the Power Windows/GUP songs sounded on the CA DVD. They were playing all the right notes in Territories and Body Electric but there was still something lacking in the mix and sound. The '80s ones sounded more exciting and it has nothing to do with Geddy's voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushBoingo Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I disagree, I think its among the best. Geddy's Voice is Geddy's Voice, I don't play that card into the mix. I love the fast editing so that I never miss a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len(songs) Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 The mixing and editing are horrible, but overall it's better than Time Machine in that though the vocals are pretty bad they're nowhere NEAR the depths of that album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brunosamppa Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Voice ok to me. My problem with this concert is the mix and mastering, the worst possible. A real shame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't understand how some think CA tour has better vocals than TMT. Care to elaborate?? I have to agree with you. To me, he seems to struggle much more with his singing on CA although I don't have a big problem with it since it's not his fault, I'm just happy to see them again.

I don't mind how his vocals sound nowadays either, but yeah, just compare Spirit of Radio from TMT to CA, poor Ged sounds considerably worse on the latter.

Pound of Obscure Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 The sound is horrid. The vocals are the least of the sound suck. Rush has clearly lost the ability to record themselves properly. Live, studio, it doesn't matter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
