Hey everyone,
Sorry if it's been covered but I'm one of the fans that buys everything Rush puts out (except the R40 boxset). I have the latest remasters (sector box sets) and I've been buying the album remasters. Don't ask me why. I think I'm trying to relive the days when my new Rush albums came in the mail from RCA. My question is am I getting anything different with the digital download than I already have? Is this remaster different from the Sector sets?

I saw Lotus-Land last summer in Virginia Beach. I thought they did good job covering the songs. I was hoping they would do more pre GUP stuff as the singer (who kind of looks like a bald Geddy) seemed to be able to hit some of the high notes that Ged can't hit anymore. Not hating on Geddy so don't start with the "what's wrong with his voice? He sounded fine last time I saw him." Here's the link to their website

Great Pics! Thanks for sharing. Shame it looks like Neil has wear headphones instead of the in the ear thingies. Gives him another reason to hate touring I guess.

QUOTE (Tigershark2112 @ Sep 12 2010, 12:53 PM) I don't know what you're talking about, he was spot on in Columbus this year. He nailed the bridge to Freewill and ALL of 2112/Temples (though I know its in a lowered key). All I'm saying is his performance was so good that his voice was never even an issue the entire night.
He's heading on 60 and has been touring for 35+ years. Give the man a break.As I said, i'm not trying to trash him. I do realize how long he's been touring and am very aware of how old he is. That's just my point. I think age and touring are catching up with him. I definately wouldn't expect him to hit those 2112 notes like he did in '76. Having said that, there is no way I'll miss them if they come near my area next year. They didn't hit Virginia Beach this go around. Never said they don't put on a kick ass show every time. Which makes me respect Geddy Lee even more because I do feel his voice is beginning to fail him and he's still doing his best to belt out the difficult notes.

Sorry if this has been discussed. I searched and didn't see anything. I might take some lumps for saying this but it sounds to me like Ged's voice is tremendously weakened this tour. I've noticed in listening to some shows on this tour his voice cracks alot. Believe me, i'm not bashing the man. He's out there giving all he has as all three are. I just think all of these years of singing live and trying to hit high notes is finally catching up. It really saddens me to say this because I believe they'd tour into there 70's if they could put on a Rush caliber show. IMO Geddy Lee's voice just won't allow it to go on much longer. Again I'm not trying to trash the man. We all get old.

Hey! When did Geddy change his nickname from Dirk to Derxt?
