Warren Cromartie Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 QUOTE (JoenataArctica @ Jun 25 2007, 01:09 PM) The last chorus of Marathon. that is hella high up. Yeah, like most of you I (try and) sing in the car along with Geddy. I could never hit that bit in Marathon. But I think the Free Will part is even higher. I don't think Cygnus peaks as high, but sustains at quite a level throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudzu Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 The end of the chorus to "Available Light", he bridge on "Freewill", the Priests of Syrinx voice in "2112", most of "Bastille Day"...take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arndrake Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I have to say Cygnus X-1. Most of the others listed, he never gets higher than a high A, but in X-1, he reaches a high B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarguy555 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I remember trying to figure this out years ago.....sat with my guitar and tried to figure out the notes to see how high they were....if I remember correctly, I think the highest one I could find was the word "light" when Geddy sings: "Flew into the LIGHT OF DENON" I'm pretty sure that was the highest....even higher than Freewill....

kbomb106 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 QUOTE (Guitarguy555 @ Sep 15 2007, 01:44 PM)"Flew into the LIGHT OF DENON" Denon is the manufacturer of CD players and other audio video equipment. The star to which he's referring is Deneb. Subtle difference, I know, but I wouldn't want you to make a public faux pas confusing the 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcaressed Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 While I lean towards Cygnus X-1, I also think of TFoL, particularly the "In the Valley" and "The Fountain." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripdad Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 QUOTE (Roddy @ Jun 24 2007, 07:33 PM) The bridge part in 'Freewill'. Easily. Agree with you on this one. Doesn't make sense that in another thread people seem to think he couldn't do Fly By Night anymore live because of the range when he still does Freewill very well.

Room 34 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 The section in "Freewill" right after the guitar solo/instrumental section is definitely the highest part in any song that he'll still dare to sing in the original key (and he NAILED IT at the St. Paul show last week!) but I'd guess that there's stuff from the earlier albums that must have been higher -- at least, higher overall. I notice that when they play "2112" these days they do it in a different key. I also noticed they are playing "Circumstances" in a lower key on this tour -- I could tell the moment I heard it, of course, but I also noticed that Geddy was playing his red bass and Alex was playing his black guitar... telltale signs that they're playing in a lowered key. But again, I think the impetus for playing in a lower key is that OVERALL the song's key is too high for him to sing in at a sustained level. It's one thing to belt out 4 measures really high (as in "Freewill") but if he had to sing an entire song in that range, or even slightly lower, it would be too much for him.
