Geddy's Soul Patch Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I can't believe Rivendell was mentioned but not Twilight Zone.. There's a very good reason for that... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len(songs) Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) This one is on the border line of 70's/80's but Jacob's Ladder is an easy vocal in comparison and would be a real crowd pleaser. By-Tor isn't too bad, he could pull that off for sure. I think By-Tor goes to about G5... If they had to downtune 2112, then Edit: nope, apparently it's about D5. Never mind, he could probably pull that one off... Edited August 6, 2014 by len(songs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I suspect that the only reason they sang it for every tour until 1991 (I think) is because he wrote that thing himself. And I don't want that one live because (1) it's a weaker track off the album, and (2) I have so many live versions of this friggin' song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

404-ed!!! Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) I agree In the Mood is a weaker track from that album, but if the last tour was 91' then i was 8 years old. So many songs I want to hear will never happen and were retired before I was concert age (or even born in some cases). Its just one that I think could happen easily. I'd prefer like 25 70's songs over it, but Anthem, Bastille Day, Necromancer, something for nothing, etc...are never happening. Edited August 13, 2014 by 404-ed!!!

Empty Mindless Spectre Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'm very surprised no one has mentioned What You're Doing. It's a super badass song that he could definitely pull off. It was the encore song on ATWAS for crying out loud! Let's pull that one out of the vault!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty Mindless Spectre Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 He could sing any and all the 70's material if he would just sing in a lower register and as long as the music was spot on who gives a shit if the vocals were not in a high register Imagine them saying we were going to play hemispheres with the vocals a little lower pitched but the music would still be kick ass and exact but too many fans would complain about the vocals not sounding like they used to so we are just going play roll the bones instead because they can do the vocals justice It's about the music to meHe can tone down the vocals to conserve his voiceYou might be surprised and it might sound kick ass I guess I just don't care cuz I want the 70's stuff played before they are done regardless if the vocals are spot on It's what's missing from all their live releases They have to break out rare stuff to play and captureThey're running out of tours They did a great job covering the 80's on the CA tourNow it's the 70's turn HERE, HERE!!!!!

I always thought it'd be cool if they totally reworked Rivendell into a fast rockin tune changing everything but the lyrics. Not that the lyrics are winning any prizes or anything but just as a way of "fixing" it. Then when the setlist gets leaked, we'd all be like Rivendell? WTF ?? Until we see it live and hear something similar to Bastille day! :D hey one can dream lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameraman2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 What they did with Circumstances was brilliant, tuning it down. I think their live catalog is much bigger than people think. No Closer to the Heart or Dreamline, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I know I keep harping on about it, but if they were to downtune everything by a half step (not just the handful they already do) it would considerably widen the songs he could sing and be barely noticeable from an audiences standpoint...Judas Priest did this to very good effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
