JARG Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Has Geddy ever said why he started off singing so high? My guess is (a) because he could, and (b) because that's how Plant sang. Geddy sang considerably higher than Plant at times though That he has. Not sure why you mentioned that, though. I just don't think Geddy sang THAT much like Plant (besides the debut and FBN). He sang with a lot more power Are you saying that he sang like Plant the most on the debut and FBN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyLee Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Some good vocals on the other nights. The original posting was an off night. It happens. I have some nights where I feel like my range has no limits at all and other nights... well, other nights. The voice is a really tough instrument. Requires constant attention, is unpredictable and is critiqued far more than any other. btw, this was one of the comments on youtube: "Who ever disliked this song should have there right to hear music taken away." I agree! :D Edited July 29, 2014 by KennyLee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like you were disagreeing with my response to Lorraine's question, but I'm glad to see you're actually in agreement with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I don't like Neils playing on this. He seems to be mailing it in, like he could give a shit about playing it. It's also soon after Gruber got to him.. I prefer Neil circa 1982 .. He just played within more fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Some of my favorite versions of Xanadu are from this tour and Prelude grooves like it never had before. Those of you into Geddy pain will enjoy this nugget from the tour. Poor guy. I really feel for him on this night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't listen to this, but I have the bootleg from the 29th, a few days after this concert. I'll give it a listen and see if he was doing any better.

Lorraine Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 He didn't have much trouble with Dreamline, but Time Stand Still is a killer for him. Dare I listen further? This is only the beginning of the concert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyLee Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Sadly, Xanadu was not kind to him. He did well considering but... alas. I actually thought Limelight was his most difficult sounding and it was 3rd I think... Maybe he didn't warm his voice up for fear of making it worse. I can't listen either. My heart bleeds for him even though it is over and he could care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny listening to it. In my mind I'm cheering him on "Come on Geddy, you can do it!!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what he did during the intermission, but his voice perked up considerably in the second half of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't recall if there was an intermission or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
