Lerxster Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Thanks for the link. Love the camera work especially during Al's amazing solo. The camera man in the pit must be a Hitchcock fan, smooth drive with a touch of drama.Yeah, what a way to shoot that. Beautiful. Gives me chills just thinking about it. Watched it last night finally.. that solo is packed with emotion. Watching him play it with the awesome camera work got me vaklempt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I truly hate to be the one to bring this up but Geddy goes flat several times during the song. Specially during the verses and in contrast of the backups. Sorry, I'm really not being negative just objective, not trolling here just disappointed. You can tell its one of the last songs in the show. He sounds tired on this song. Other than that the song sounds flawless. The Video quality is simply superperb! Oh well you decapitate my head now. Geddy goes flat? Several times? No, we don't decapitate fools.. we just pity them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy is old. His voice is not what it was. That's just reality. The alternative would be for Rush to retire. I guess we would rather have Rush with a few flat vocal notes. I am a vocalist and notice Geddy hits a lot of flat notes, but he also shines at times and really sings well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 If Geddys voice on this song is a concern then I'm glad I wasn't around for the Time Machine Tour. Geddy's voice here isn't great, but on TMT it was atrocious. I still need to get a boot of that tour because the songs are played so friggin' well, but the voice just ruins it. I need me some high quality live Camera Eye! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, you're right. The vocals are much better than on the Time Machine Tour, but they are still the weak link. Which is a shame because the playing and sound is otherwise great. And I love the camera work in this video. But if this is as bad as the vocals get, this will be a great concert video with this sound and look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the band, I loved the tour, I love the camera-work, and I love the sound (so far...we'll see how it holds up on a real stereo). But if the vocals on the entire album are like this, it can never be a go-to live record for me. It won't be a lost record, like TMT, but it won't be a a great one either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

presto123 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Stunning video clarity. This will be the best looking and hopefully best sounding Rush blu ray yet.

presto123 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) I was doubting strings at a Rush show myself when I first heard, but they really do add a nice dimension to the show. Edited October 18, 2013 by presto123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather have Geddy singing at 50% and still be able to see them live, because they are such a great live band.

I agree 100%. I rather have Geddy at 50% than no RUSH at all. Now that said, in my defense, even Geddy knew he was having pitch problems with this song. Which is the reason he has his finger in his ear to hear the monitor mix better so he could tune up. I've hardly ever criticized this band to the point of even placing them higher than the Beatles in another thread, but this was very painfully obvious. I just hope the rest of the CD doesn't sound like this. Maybe they should have recorded an earlier concert when his voice was more fresh. He just sounds tired on this song and maybe its just this song. I really hope so. It comes towards the end of the concert after already singing for nearly two hours. I just don't know why they released this song as the promo track with his voice sounding the way it does. It has many beautiful parts and the video is flawless. But I can't say his vocals are great when they aren't. I would just be lying to myself and everyone else. :codger: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such clarity and separation between all the instruments, great cinematography and great music - this is going to be awesome.

I said he went flat several times and believe me that what pretty hard for me to do. The man is human, it happens. specially after singing for two hours after a 40 year career. You can go a ahead and lie to yourself if you like but I don't need too. It you notice my first post on this thread I was being very positive and truly hoping someone else would bring this up other than me cause I just Love this band but I'm not going to dilute myself blindly either. His vocals are not always on pitch during this song. I'm not stating that to be confrontational or negative for the sake of being negative, Its just a fact. Its like Neil Dropping a stick or Alex popping a string. It happens. Not very often with RUSH but it happens. :codger: Edited October 18, 2013 by losingit2k 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I thought he sounded a lot better than he did in TMT. And I enjoyed the hell out of that album. If the quality of the mixing shown in this video is any indication to the rest of the album, it may become an instant favorite for me. Can't wait, it's only a day and a month away!

I had listened to it twice last night for the first time, on my phone using my good quality headphones. I didn't hear anything wrong with Geddy's vocals, and I thought you were nuts. I don't know how you heard it, but I just now listened on my good headphones to both the cd version, then this video on HD quality just to be sure I'm convinced I know what I'm talking about. I will honestly say Geddy sounds fine live. His delivery was not as strong throughout as the studio version, of course, because he'd just sang for two hours before this song. I didn't hear anything that I would term as flat, if your definition of flat is dull and lifeless. His tone did not seem to be in doubt. I didn't mean for it to seem personal, so sorry. We don't have to debate it and just agree to disagree here. Rush on! :cheers: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUB Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Calm down people. Geddy Lee is 60 years old, of course dosen' t have the same vocal range he had when he was 20. Or 40. That happens to everyone, sadly. With that in mind, i think he sounds amazing. Be grateful that the band are still playing. Or shut the f**k up! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
