What album does Geddy sing his best on?

[G Lee]

I'm biased by my love of screech-tastic Ged, so my vote went to Hemispheres since that is kind of the pinnacle of that era :).

First tour I saw was at the Paramount in Seattle 1976.

 

Wow! Excellent.

 

There is a well-circulated soundboard recording of that show- do you have it?

 

No I don't... Where can I find it???

 

Send me your mailing address, and you shall have it.

 

October 25th '76 at the Paramount Theater, I believe? Yes? If that's the one you saw, then yeah...I have it.

What is it about Power Windows that makes many of you think he sang his best on it? Just curious.

lol........just the production. 80's slightly cold awash in synths. I love it though. it crackles.

I still don't understand what is so special about his singing on the album. Can someone point me to a specific song? I'll give it a listen.

That's the instruments used, not the production but I agree with you. :)

I didn't vote for Power Windows in this poll, but I do think several songs on it are especially good. I'd suggest Manhattan Project or Marathon.

I think they're all good which is why I didn't list a specific song.

I think his vocals on ATWAS are the most organic and impressive.

[stone and a hard place]

The 80's synth period

 

PowerWindows and Grace Under Pressure.

I didn't vote for Power Windows either, but some examples of fantastic vocal parts on that album are the "oh-ohs" in Grand Designs, the "shock wave" line in Manhattan Project, and the "drive you when you're down" towards the end of Middletown Dreams.
