Maybe they're saving their 70s staples for R40? That's my guess, but your complaints are purely valid for discussion.
New here, but LONG time fan. Been to so many Rush concerts I lost count.
While everyone has valid points and opinions, it's quite obvious to me that this set list is all about Ged's range an vocal ability at this time. I can't even fathom him singing "much" from the 70's anymore without sounding strained, nasally or just plain bad.
What about Cinderella Man? His vocals are pretty low on that song and even the high parts aren't all that high...
i was hoping for that one also.
That's one of my absolute faves and I completely agree with you. I can't ever remember hearing that live either. They do so many overdubs already that I wonder why they don't ever play this.
I only wish Geddy could belt it out like He used to, but I really do like ths set list a lot. I also almost feel like this show is for the diehards and ones who have followed them from their start and through the lean years in some circles of opinions. For me, there's never been lean years, but more experimentation then anything. Rush has always evolved in their sound and style. This is one of the things I love about this band......waiting for what comes next.
