We "complain" (really make non-rose-colored-glasses-observations) about Ged's voice to bring the universe back into balance after some fanboy or another says he sounds just fine. I'm not saying it's still like it was in the 70s/80s, there are obvious flaws. I'm just saying that for his age it isn't bad.

He probably had no idea they'd be this successful, so he didn't consider preserving his voice.

I agree, he yodels. But at this point, it's the only way he can keep his voice for touring.

Can we please stop complaining about Ged's aging voice? He's in his 60s, cut him some slack. It's what touring for 40 years does to you. Everyone's voice ages. Just be glad they're still touring.

No. Red Lenses is the only Rush song I don't like. Kid Gloves is good though.

Also said they plan to film "a few dates." Sounds good to me. :7up:

CA is the worst vocally. On the other hand, at the beginning of the CA Tour, his voice was great.

Yes I believe so.

Does anyone know a list of venues that accept mail for signing for this tour? Mostly I want to know if Pinnacle Bank Arena accepts mail, I emailed them but they didn't respond when I asked.

Not as much as Oklahomans do. Says the Yankee transplant from NYC. ;) That's the spirit, JR! I wonder - hmm - are Oklahomans better Rush fans than Nebraskans? LOL! It's funny because they're playing in Oklahoma and Nebraska to kick off the tour. How many can fit inside the Bok Center?

I noticed that for another artist, but my ticketmaster doesn't offer this option for the Rush shows. Can you view them with StubHub?

I was wondering where I would be able to check how tickets are selling for venues for the R40 tour.

I hope the Lincoln, NE show gets more tickets sold, I wanna show Rush how we Iowans/Nebraskans love our Rush :D

I bet they would probably release it like they did for GuP tour as a previously unreleased concert.

Hate to say it....but I think that yodel crap is Geddy giving it all he's got lol I hate to say it x 2, but I believe you are correct... Good news is they've had more time off than they have in a good while. Who knows? Maybe Ged will be sounding a bit better this time around The thing I noticed though was that during the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction he sounded much better than recent performances on the tour. Plus he CAN still sing, it's just that they shouldn't have picked one of the last shows to film a concert. He sounds great in the first several shows on the CWA tour and on the album itself. Hopefully after nearly 2 years of rest he should sound better.

I wish Geddy will give it all he's got this tour instead of that yodel crap. His voice sounds different on every tour, so I wonder how he'll approach this tour vocally.

Sorry didn't know there was already a thread about it :P

I've been wondering what props they'll be using on the stage. Maybe a lot of references to previous tours/albums? What do you guys think?

Update from RushIsABand: "According to one fan who was at Fretted Americana on Monday and chatted briefly with Alex, the band apparently has prepped about 35 songs for the tour, although they won't be playing them all each night. They'll instead be alternating out as many as 6 or 7 per night for a solid 3-hour set. They did something similar on the last tour, although with only 3 or 4 songs. So it sounds like they have the setlist nailed down for the most part." This sounds awesome!

True, but I consider it the beginning of the return to a more guitar based sound in the 90's.

Anyone wanting a little more '90s material to be played on this tour? Here are some I'd love to hear: Double Agent Cold Fire Available Light Chain Lightning Limbo Red Tide Cut to the Chase Everyday Glory Resist (Acoustic)
