The best I've heard Geddy sound on a certain song in a LONG TIME

No yodeling to note really of any kind...

 

I know its a crappy video clip but this is seriously the best I've heard Geddy sound since possibly R30. At least SnA. The chorus is almost perfect.

Maybe he's not trying to conserve his voice and letting it all hang out as he knows this is probably the last go-round. Or he has a new voice coach. Preferably the latter. Edited by ctbadger

Or we're just all finally getting used to his voice now and don't notice it :)

Sounds reasonable. I know folks are very forgiving when it comes to his vocals. I really appreciate his effort but I am also a realist and if it doesn't sound good recorded I will say so. When I actually go to the show I really couldn't care less to be honest... :)

I do feel like his voice is getting better as the tour goes on, though. The chorus of "Lakeside Park" seems to be the real test for me. Opening night was kind of cringe-y, but listening to Dallas he sounds much better. Still a bit yodel-y, but but he's on pitch.

Agreed on Lakeside Park. I was so excited to see they were doing it and then I heard it and to be honest I wanted to plug my ears with something and go grab my ATWAS album to wash out my eardrums. It just sadly didn't sound good at all... :(

He does sound better than he's sounded in years. He's hitting the notes he's going for even though you can tell he's straining. His voice is not breaking like it was during the CA tour.

I could care less as well. What gets me is the fan boys who shout about how he sounds as good as ever. Well, no. Not even close. But he's out there doing what he loves, he plays and sings his heart out and that's all that counts in the end.

I think the term "fanboys" should be dropped. There are certainly a lot of "fangirls" out there as well and I hear them say the same things. Maybe "fanaticals" would be a better term? :LOL:

The word Fan in itself is derived from the latin Fanatic, which is NOT a compliment :)

I've said it before. I love Geddy for his bass playing and composition style. I'm come to peace with his voice,and totally get why he turns people off. Rush is all about the musical force of the three. I block out the vocals a lot of the time. With that being said, I LOVE his classic high pitched approach. Songs like Anthem.. Incredible

Only because you have good taste. When I go to the show Tuesday his vocals will be far down the priority list probably just below the merch stand. I have come to grips long ago that they just won't be very good while I still appreciate the effort... :)

Geddy is one of my favorite people in music. I love who he is and what he produces. He's a brilliant composer and a damn fine bass player. The past eight years or so he's really made me cringe a lot when he sings on stage, but in the long run, it doesn't much matter. He's a package deal, love him or move on I guess.

Fanatical is definitely a better term, and the one that came into my mind as I was wondering what the hell difference is it whether your Moving Pictures vinyl is 200 grams or not?

His hipster style is also loved by all here at TRF... ;)

Well...is it true or not? I mean, come one. And not just one - but has to have TWO of them. This tour is bringing out the fanatical in not a few, and it is starting to bore me. No one is perfect. Not even Geddy Lee.

He's like the Noah of Rush and the TRF... :)
