YYZumbi Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Much better! His voice sounds rested and fresh. It´s really good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satchmothesnowdog Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 His voice sounds good so far, but by the end of the tour he will sound like Chinese opera again. I'm not trying to be insulting, but it is what it is. 45 years of screaming into a mic takes its toll on a lot of guys and it's taken its toll on Geddy. A few weeks ago I watched Exit Stage Left and the the Clockwork show and the difference was really brutal. If you cannot see his voice is shot, you're in complete denial. I still love the guy and his music and encourage him to sing until the day he dies, though. I could care less about pretty voices, after all, I'm a Neil Young Fan, too :) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 It sounds good for a 61 year old man trying to sing songs he wrote and originally sang over 30 years ago. Remember, he had to record the Hemispheres album at the top of his range. I can only imagine he sang that way for a lot of the 1970s material. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Right now he's 3/4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I think he's definitely sounding better than he did on most of the CA tour. I'm surprised they're even attempting a lot of these songs. I have to give it to him. He's giving all he's got. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I know he's at where's at but that lincoln show was awful. it Could have been a ear monitor thing but he was not hitting Notes at all. As i said St. Paul was better but it is what it is. I'm not looking forward to the dvd though........just being honest. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordercollie Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Overall, his voice sounds much better than the previous two tours. One thing I am noticing is he's losing some control in places. He can hit the notes; just not very cleanly at times. #nitpicking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Between The Beers Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 he sounds something between TM and S&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a fact of getting old for him, but it is what it is. It's hard to yell when your voice is going as you age and he's a soft voiced guy as it is.

jamie Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 From what I've heard he sounds pretty good, but towards the end of the tour he probably won't sound as good but who cares. He's still amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabesCavesOfIce Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 He sounded great opening nite, seemed to struggle in St Paul, but voice seemed stronger tonite in St Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersyl Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Everyone talks about his voice... But his bass playing has been out of this world! PERFECTION! :geddy: 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I think he sounds mostly great this tour. There are a few songs, mostly the old ones, where his voice is a bit muddy. But man, he hit and carry those high notes from Headlong Flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the sound he gets from that Ric? *swoon* That's why everyone hated to see him change to the jazz back years ago. The Ric was just sublime. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.RUSH Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Gonna see them in New Orleans. He sounds better than CA tour to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotPeart Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 You can really hear a difference between Rio and CA. But I don't care - from what I've heard online, he sounds better than CA or TMT. I'm just thankful I'll get to experience it again LIVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John V Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 How would you guys rate his voice between S&A and R-40?I thought he sounded excellent on S&A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
