ColdFireYYZ Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'd love to hear Cinderella Man. Personally I like it more than Closer To The Heart. I think Geddy can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastille Dave Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 yeah, there are only a small handful of boots that have "Cinderella Man" on it and the only live recording is on Different Stages Disc 3 so I would love to hear it done one more time.

theredtamasrule Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 What's wrong with tuning down? It may be nice to hear songs in a key in which Ged can still sing with 60 year old vocal cords before they erupt from his throat in a fine spray during "each of us/a cell of awareness".

I've got no problem with down tuning songs. It's done by most bands as their singers age. There's just no way to expect any singer, not just Geddy, to be able to sing the same at 60 as the did in their mid 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes the down tuning different for Rush is the rediculously high voice Geddy used to sing in. For other bands down tuning doesn't change the song that much. But due to Geddy singing like he just sucked in a balloon full of helium back in the 70s, the arrangement change is more noticeable. Sure, if Geddy had sung back in the 70s like he did from MP onward, the songs would still be toned down a bit but it wouldn't sound as odd as Circumstances did on the S&A tour.

1 of the 7 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 They also did a bit of Cygnus X-1 at the end of Working Man on the second leg of the Time Machine tour. I thought I was the only person who liked Madrigal! Glad to hear it has other fans. I'd love this or Cinderella Man, but I'm not picky, since I've seen so few shows, and would love to hear any song I haven't heard live yet (which are many).

jacob's ladder Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I would love to hear cinderella man, but it is my favourite Rush song so I'm sure I'd break down in tears if I saw it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a western New York influence it's just what song I think is better I got into Rush when Counterparts came out. Unfortunately I didn't see them when they played the old, now tore down, memorial auditorium on that tour. The first time I saw them was at the HSBC arena here on the second date of the T4E tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Olav Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Cinderella Man is one of my favorites by Rush, and it's kinda a bummer that they don't play AFTK anymore either. But I think what Rush are still able to do at their age is amazing, so if they can no longer pull off music from the era when they had ultramegasuperhuman abilities, I can't fault them for that. I wouldn't fault them if they just did their best with it, and fell short. I'd love to hear Cinderella Man, tuned down, or with regular tuning - I doubt Ged would do too bad with it. But Rush are perfectionists, and that's part of what makes them so awesome. Edited October 14, 2011 by Kenny Olav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oracle Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 If they play anything "out of the norm" of their usual set list (Jacob's Ladder, Cinderella Man, AFTK, etc.), then I will shit three separate bricks. I will mail one brick to Geddy, one to Alex, and one to Neil. I will attach a letter to each stating that they have won every possible award I could give them.

treeduck Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 A model duck, a Man-drake Went watching RUSH in the city He had a need to discover If Geddy Lee's voice was in good health Peart is not human but Lifeson has goodness Geddy's high vocals they called him a dame Delusions of godhood Peart's thin hair has no gender Don't piss up his back and tell him it's the rain Doors wide open bike unattended wet drum riser all tarnished... Cinderella Man Alex and Geddy in their van They can't understand What Neil's lyrics mean Cinderella Man Geddy's fantasy baseball plans Try as they might Alex cannot steal his teams RUSH fans in his room Neil awakened determined to show them harsh reality And with a look in the eyes of insanity as they asked him "is the naked Hemisphere's guy you?" He pulled up his britches looking real angry red-faced emotion on his face like a stain They tried to ask him couldn't they meet him after the concert Neil said: "ARE YOU INSANE? Cinderella Man hiding out in the can They can't understand Why Neil is so mean Cinderella Man he hates all RUSH fans every single night he sees them in his dreams ohhhhh nooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodys hero Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 There are so many songs I would love to hear live one more time, but I don't think I ever will. It would be great it they completely dumped all the "standards" we hear almost every tour and add some of the oldies after re-vamping them to Ged's current vocal range, but I know I'm dreaming.
