londonguy Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I've been listening to some boots of the VT tour and I can't believe how incredible Geddy sounded in 2002. I realize he wasn't even 50 then, but how sharp are those vocals. TS sounds amazing. For 62 he sounds pretty good now but those were killer vocals. Anyone else wanna chime in? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 One of the best RUSH tours ever. It truly was special, and Geddy's vocals were outstanding!* *except for Ceiling Unlimited #cringeworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to random Rush songs in car the other day and a tune came up from Different Strings, I saw out of the corner of my eye. I was thinking WOW Ged sounded AMAZING on the TfE tour! Then I stopped at a light and took a closer look. I was listening to Something for Nothing from disc 3 on DS from 1978. I'm gettin old too.

EagleMoon Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I think he sounded pretty good on the Vapor Trails tour. I'm not talking about those songs but I mean his voice in particular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I just wish they recorded better shows than those Rio shows...It was a pretty good setlist, and they were at the top of their game, but that recording was horrid! (and the crowd noise was worse than some old boots I have) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad it didn't turn out any better than it did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonguy Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 I wish he could sing TS like that now. It sounds brutal to me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I actually didn't cringe this tour when he's sang TS. Either he's singing it better or by the time it comes around in the set I can't hear anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand why you would say that. He's not singing the CA stuff as well as he did on the last tour. But the rest of the stuff sounded really good. Obviously he has good and bad days.

yyz305 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Great album and great tour. Vocals, and general playing, were spot on. Started to slide after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that's something, I was listening to Natural Science from the T4E tour. He sounded really awesome even in 1997.You could hear little hints of the warble and etc in a few tiny places but otherwise the dude was spot on. And you'll probably just want to hang yourself if you go back and watch ASOH or something, which I'd say was probably the best his voice ever sounded. (PoW - Presto years).

Great boots, especially Atlanta. Wish a stateside proshot was done of the tour. It was the last of its quality IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically this one came up on my iPod while I was at the gym today... I "GET" the fact that when you walk out on stage and 100,000+ people start yelling it's a cool thing...and I "GET" that it was neat to hear the crowd singing along to an instrumental....but JEEEZ turn the crowd down the rest of the time! It sounds like a "b" rated bootleg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
