Tombstone Mountain Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Geddy has done quite well up to this point on the Clockwork Angels tour, singing 80's era and new songs. What about the songs that he really shouldn't sing anymore due to the strain it puts on his voice? Here's my list... 10. Something for Nothing9. Working Man8. Circumstances7. In the Mood6. Fly by Night5. One Little Victory4. Anthem3. Beneath, Between, Behind2. 21121. Freewill1 a. Wish Them Well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticklight Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I really enjoyed Geddy's work on the last 3 tours but the following songs are the ones he should not sing anymore, because they are tough on his vocal chords and they just can't sound good anymore. 1. Freewill (He did an amazing job on the S&A tour, but honestly I can't expect him to hit those notes anymore).2. Closer to the heart.3. Working Man.4. The Camera Eye.5. Marathon.6. Circumstances.7. Xanadu.8. 21129. A passage to Bangkok10. The Trees. Unfortunately, he shouldn't sing 70's material anymore IMO. He did a really god job on the last couple of tours but his age shows it's signs these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShlappinDahBass Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Stop judging his voice off of Time Machine video, he was apparently wicked sick that night. NUMBER ONE AND FOREVER: NO MORE FORCE TEN, I'm sorry but he just can not do it anymore. 2. Cygnus X-II 3. Cygnus X-I 4. Finding My Way 5. Closer to the Heart 6. Bastille Day 7. Fly By Night 8. The Big Money 9. What You're Doing 10. In the Mood Sorry about the rant on Force Ten, but he just can't do it anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A passage to Bangkok though I must confess was pulled off rather well on the S & A tour IMO....God I love that song Edited January 29, 2013 by Tombstone Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Ave Maria! sorry, just being a smartass today...not enough sleep...excellent choice...Ave Maria can stay in the vaults Actually, I think Geddy should play a bass solo (Ala Chirs Squire's Amzaing Grace ) of Ave Maria! With the String section backing him up. That would be pretty classic. Just one verse then go into say, The Garden! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoble Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Why are you guys listing songs that he hasn't sung in decades anyway? This thread makes more sense if you keep the songs relegated to just the ones they've been doing the last few tours My picks are The Trees, Spirit of Radio (yeah, I know, but he's sounded pretty bad on this for years now), Tom Sawyer (ditto), Working Man I don't think Time Stand Still or Presto sounded THAT bad on the last tour btw. Maybe my affection for those tunes override my judgement on his singing of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketom Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Tom Sawyer, Spirit of Radio, Limelight, Closer To The Heart, Working Man, Subdivisions, Roll The Bones, Far Cry, One Little Victory , Secret Touch.Not because he cant sing these anymore but because I dont want to hear them anymore. Next tour bring on the 70's material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to hear Hemispheres side 1.That would be awesome, but it would be hard to watch because of his voice. Man, remember when they did prelude?

Maybe my affection for those tunes override my judgement on his singing of them. I loved the way Geddy sang Time Stand Still at the Time Machine shows I attended, but that might have been the excitement of hearing one of my favourite songs live. The recorded version from Cleveland was disappointing. I had hoped for another recording a la Mission from Snakes And Arrows Live. Mission was a song he struggled with mightily at some of the shows I saw (including at one show outright mangling the line "To know how they struggled!", appropriate, no?), but which sounds glorious on the recording. As for Presto, I wasn't a fan of the song before the Cleveland recording, but I absolutely love it now. That isn't the smoothest vocal performance in the world, but the emotion of it really gets me in a big way.
