tomhealey Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 rough from a production standpoint? The whole first set, and about halfway into the second, it looked like their ear monitors either weren't working at all, or weren't turned up very high. Geddy kept hitting the sides of his head and yelling offstage, and Alex was clearly upset with his setup as well. More gesturing to the sides than I've seen in a long while. I thought it resulted in some fairly tentative playing at times, along with what I thought were more than the usual amount of flubs. Unfortunately, these issues forced Alex and Geddy to really focus on their playing, which limited the usual mid-song interaction with the crowd.

Narps Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I wasn't there and didn't see the show so I couldn't comment. The "periscope" thing I watched for a while wouldn't lend itself to knowing that sort of detail at least in my opinion. Not sure that periscope thing is for me at all in general. Drives me nuts. Everyone else seems to love it and that's great... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels Within Wheels Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I had noticed and commented in another thread that Alex has seemed very reserved. I had thought that maybe he was ill during the Tulsa show, having acted very workmanlike in comparison with his usual outgoing stage persona and it's continued in Lincoln. I did see some of the apparent problems that Geddy was having with his ear monitors, but I wasn't aware of any instrumental problems or cutouts (except for the occasional missed note). Could be just working out all the kinks that are common at the beginning of a tour. BTW, I'd love to go through a thread that doesn't constantly segue into Periscope. It totally gummed up the Lincoln spoiler thread last night. Don't care about Bob or his girlfriend or if he's puking in the bathroom. Not being cranky but it would be great for a thread to not immediately veer off on some tangent and instead remain focused on the topic intended by the original poster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkPrattLerxst Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I would have to agree. In "How It Is" Geddy was having bad earpiece issues as well as a few other occasions throughout the night. The show still kicked major ass though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do joke around a lot here on TFF. Since Wheels is new, he wouldn't know that. If you want serious, go to church. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhealey Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Since Lorraine asked, I was second row center at Tulsa (which didn't have nearly as many of these issues, but also had a week of rehearsal time), and front/center at Lincoln. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob was the guy periscoping and his girlfriend, well depending on who comments here, was present at the concert. Let's leave it at that. I am so blown away by periscope! The 67 year old in me thinks is can get boring and the constant lag is super annoying. The 27 year old in me is stoked that I can sit here in the northeast, in the comforts of my "evening attire" (moccasins included) and watch a live performance of my favorite band! Wicked! As for the OP, I can only imagine (since I was only virtually there and watching in the distance when the camera wasn't on Bobs girlfriend) that the pounding of the head and the shouts to off stage was more of a "why aren't we playing more New Jersey/New York instead of this no where Hicksville" than anything. Oh - and "Mooooooo". Edited May 11, 2015 by dtpoet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
