Tick Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Well, I'm honestly not a big fan of Rush DVDS. I'm not saying they are bad but I prefer to just listen to Rush on there studio albums. I'm actually listening to some Rush CD's as we speak. I watched the DVD on TV Sunday night and while its not my favorite performance I felt the opposite about the vocals. I came away thinking, wow, Geddy sounds really good at this show. His vocals sure were not bad. That's all I wanted to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 QUOTE (Gixxerman001 @ Nov 22 2011, 08:42 AM) Anyways. What surprises me is that they stick to a format where one show alone is filmed for release. I know this stuff is expensive to do and I can see the attraction of keeping the flow of the one show's experience but surely filming 2 or 3 nights would do a lot to counter the chances of someone being a little ill, or just having an off night or a handful of mistakes? At the end of the day tho I've not had one Rush Blu-ray I've been disappointed in, that lossless audio is monster. I would LOVE IT if for the CA live dvd, they pulled a Pearl Jam -Touring Band 2000 move and film 10 or 15 shows, then edit together in order the best versions of each song. That would be monumental good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their pension plan completed, a 6 disc Blu-ray set (and DVD equiv) with live CDs etc accompanying. (but in Rush's case it'd be one I'd happily stump up for, they have given me so much pleasure in my life) ......and after that they can relax to the occasional studio album & studio shot videos.

Del_Duio Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 QUOTE (RUDT @ Nov 18 2011, 05:43 AM) The reason why i listen to Rush's music has never been for the vocals, i think Geddy's voice has improved over the years, Up until Hold Your Fire, maybe. Geddy's the absolute MAN and I love his voice from the past, but the poor guy can't sing like that anymore. We just have to face it and appreciate that he's still willing to attempt many of their songs live. I actually thought he sounded pretty awesome on TMT's 'Marathon'.

I think he sounds quite decent actually. It probably has something to do with seeing crowd shots, and watching the band play their instruments, and all the other distractions like seeing the lights, and stage set up and video's in the background.(that was a lot of and's) But when I listen to the CD...it's definitely more noticeable that he didn't sound overly great, compared to the show I saw in Montreal. But then again, that's probably because I was at the actual show, and thought they were spot on because of the reasons I mentioned above. Regardless....for a man that age, he can still sing like a banshee. Only Ronnie James Dio(RIP) could still sound as good as he did in his late 50's, early 60's as he did in his younger days. I'll add that Ian Hunter, who is now in his mid-70s, can still sound like he did in Mott the Hoople's heyday. I think Geddy's voice is definitely strained but I think that's a result of him having a stretch of show dates with no break AND having a cold (yes I maintain that he DID have a cold. . . no matter what people choose to believe). Poor guy. Kelly D, your avatar is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannuFIN Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 30 years have passed since I bought to myself a Christmas present, surprise ! Exit Stage Left, MASSIVE sounding double vinyl, so dear, mighty and awesome. 10km fly by to the border of USSR (that area too was robbed from us by using the violence on WW2), that's where I come from. I love Rush very much. So much (their wisdom, humanish, humour, awesome intelligent music, ability to play on such standard and pro level, Canadas territories and nature..). They were that times so far away. Not anymore. But now maybe too often all kind of stuff and news, what someone has said and so on (marketing, that's called, where's the mystique that used to be..). After four months of NOT listening much Rush at all got the DVD today (+cd). Presto sounded SO awesome, and one happy familiar eyed face on it rocking too (cheerio New Mexico). Have to relax and listen this with better time on days to come. ps. First I noted that are my speakers little stressed / broken..until I noticed it was, Geddys voice on several occasions.. Life is life. Now listening Yes "Going For The One", year 1977, when I was 11, heard Rush next year first time. PS. we can't consume beer on concert, I noticed from dvd they had that possibility, _still_ some standing like dead totems...(of course there always are but ..). When I leave I don't know What I'm hoping to find When I leave I don't know What I'm leaving behind... What's next ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyLeeFender Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I saw them at Red Rocks and yes there is a huge difference between being there and listening to the recordings but I thought Geddy sounded just as good as on the S & A tour. WHY do they insist on doing the recordings so late in their tours?! How about like 3-4 months into it do a recording when Geddy is warmed up but not tired from so many shows...

drbirdsong Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 With so many bootlegs out there that are available for those who want complete shows I think it would be a good idea if they recorded multiple nights at one venue or several nights and melded them into one show for a really killer live CD. Video wise they should maybe do what many bands do these days and record two or three nights and edit the best bits together. I commend them for picking a night and going for it and I will always cherish the Cleveland Blu Ray. I've been going to Rush shows since 1982 and I'm not exactly in the same shape I was then either, but "We Hold On". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertk Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ok, after taking a nap I think I'm ready to reply. I think the DVD was great. Only complaint I have is I think Ged's bass is a little muddy at bits where live it was so crisp and clear. Did you buy your copy at a barber shop? THAT could be your problem. Maybe I'm overdoing my spacing here, But we have to start somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
