troutman Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Those that complain about the mixing, I agree! But those that complain on Geddy's voice, please just stop it... the guy is over 60 years old, and his voice is still great. If you don't like it, then just stop go to the Rush concerts and stay home and cry instead. Its not harder then that, right?

Principled Man Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 it's those vocals you can't get around. Many, many Rush fans "get around" Geddy's vocals just fine, so it must be you who has the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petamo Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I have to agree with the criticism of the mix(es). My wife and I chase around the String Cheese Incident and Gov't Mule, and they turn around amazing-sounding recordings for download in three days. You would think, given all the time they take to release live recordings, Rush's would sound better than what comes from a dude who just sparked a fattie and ate a grilled cheese in the parking lot.

Pale Facsimile Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I think one of the main problems is that they wait far too long into a tour to film a DVD. With Time Machine, it was more of an unfortunate instance of Ged being sick that night. I was at the show in Hershey about a week before that, and he sounded great. With CA, I saw the Bridgeport (10/10) and Buffalo (10/26) shows, and he sounded great at both (especially Bridgeport...best I've ever heard his voice at a show I attended). The shows they recorded were a full month later, at the end of November, at the end of the first full CA leg. Even with the earlier DVDs of the 2000s, Rio, R30 and S&A, they wait until the end of the tour to film. While he sounds decent on all three, he'd probably have sounded even better had they recorded earlier shows. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky6 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Pale, yes this is exactly true, they do this for a lot of bands by waiting to film them when they are tired and worn out and just wanna go home. Why they wait till the end or last show of the tour is beyond me./ And your right. I seen a lot of videos on you tube where he sings the anarchist a lot better than he does on the dvd. Plus that's a lot of singing night after night till you get to a few months into the tour before they decide to start filming.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying this a while he usually sounds way better earlier on.....so film one of those, Mick Edited October 30, 2014 by bluefox4000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyLee Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 You guys complain but I bet you can't do any better..... :sarcastic: ;) Not complaining... but I can do better. :D Just kidding. At 61 years old I'm just happy he's still doing it. Plus, his bass playing has actually gotten better. He's a beast. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Digital Man Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Not sure I agree that his bass playing has got better over recent years, his style of playing has changed and it's a style i'm not so keen on myself! In the past he would play busy bass lines that were interesting, challenging and intelligent but now playing his new style 'flamenco' one finger back and fourth all the time on root notes is just boring and overkill imo, especially on some of the older stuff which I find unnecessary!

He does seem to be a bit obsessed with that technique. I wish we would dial it back a bit too, but I do think he's probably as good as he's ever been at bass 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
