Me too... Awww, cheer up. There are plenty of quality videos on YouTube to choose from! :P

Neil looked the same on R40 as he always had. He's serious and intensely focused on his playing, and let out the occasional laugh when prompted by Geddy or Alex's interaction.

Just lie to us and tell us you saw them play Fountain of Lamneth at a Caress of Steel show!!!!

If Geddy and Alex were to tour without Neil, I'd hope they visually obscure whoever the drummer is. Geddy and Alex are all I'd be interested in seeing in this capacity.

I would say the jumpier song is higher, but the consistently high song is far more difficult to sing.

That makes no sense. A song in monotone at F5 is higher than a song that's 10% in G5 and 90% in D5 according to your logic.

high/low face value ticket prices

You can't say 2112 is the highest when there is concrete proof his range peaks in Cygnus. If the question was "which song is the more difficult to sing," it would definitely be 2112, because parts of the song live in a super high register, whereas the peaks in Cygnus are more spread apart, or are just one note here and there.

New octaves begin with the C note. Geddy's most commom modern day high note is B4 (the final held out note of Working MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN) The next note in the scale would be a C5. So using some of his highest examples, this goes from the "low" B4 to his peak at B5. B4- Working Man (final note) C5- Resist (I can learn to resist, ANYthing but temptation. C#5- Marathon (final "ONE MOMENT'S high") D5- Fly by night (FLY by night..... CHANGE my life) D#5- Cygnus X-1 (the x-ray is her SIRen song) E5- 2112 (WE'VE TAKen CARE of EVEryTHING F5- Freewill (each of us a CELL OF Awareness) F#5- Hemispheres (every soul a BATtlefield G5- Lessons (NO you didn't listen Again) G#5- 2112 Soliloquy (my spirits ARE low) A5- Finding My Way (at around 1:30 YEAH oh yeah) A#5- Cygnus X-1 (torn aPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART) B5- Cygnus X-1 Live: boot from Fresno, CA 1977 C6- sadly,, no evidence he's ever hit this note and ventured into the 6th octave

David Bottrill is the man! Can we just give him the keys to the back catalog and tell him to "get busy!"

Considering the source, it sounds great. I hear an actual kick drum, even!!!!

Buy the DVD now. Buy the Bluray as part of an R50 package!!!$$$ Actually, I'd be shocked if this is not immediately released in Bluray.

During the chorus, Geddy should have definitely sung the lower harmony live, then leave it at that or trigger the higher harmony if absolutely necessary.

Poor new guy doesn't even get a chair!

The Weapon, on both the Signals and P/G tours. Most easily noticeable at 6:04 on this link...

At the show opening night, I was initially disappointed in the stage set-up. Boy did I feel stupid just minutes later!

B-Man is the author of a Rush biography titled "Visions," penned around the release of Hold Your Fire. He became a very good friend of the band at some point. The final chapter was about them having completed Hold Your Fire. I believe B-Man played some HYF demos for a friend(s), bragged about it in this book, and that was the end of his relationship with the band.

*innocently whistles* ;)

It's different coming from us as fans on a message board, as opposed to someone semi-linked to the band full-out saying they are retiring before any official part of the band has announced anything.

But there have been many instances where a guy is on stage with a handheld camera. In KC, the guy was filming The Camera Eye during the entire song. They've filmed the stage guys. And last night, he filmed Neil's perspective of the goodbye. They didn't professionally film LA, but they can use all these other bits as extras on the DVD. That guy was also doing a lot of crowd shots, and in Tulsa he pulled some audience members aside to film them. That sounds like it could be extras material. Yeah, there's definitely supposed to be some kind of fan documentary to go along with the concert.

Exactly! (he's the author leeching off the success of Clockwork Angels)
