EagleMoon Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I say that they should drop Hemispheres - I love it, but it just doesn't sound right tuned down. I understand that Ged can't sing it anymore, since he couldn't sing it when they did the LP! It would be fantastic if it was replaced with Circumstances... Talk about a song he'd bust a vocal cord on, that would be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grover Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm not sure that they need to tune down some of these songs. By 1982-4 Geddy was singing Temples of Syrinx in a much lower register but they didn't tune it down until 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I, for one, think Hemispheres sounds great tuned down. 2112, too. And, actually, I think it's time Xanadu gets brought down a half step. Geddy's struggling with it. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yes-yes-yes. Give me The Big Money in Denver! I don't know why they haven't played it. It's great live. The cheesiest use of synths in a Rush song, and they played the bejesus out of this one. And enough with the friggin' synths! You had your tour! Now let me enjoy mine in piece! :codger: I need a :smoke: I agree. Can we have some honesty among fans? After GUP they released a fair amount of mediocre to bad songs. I like that they chose to skip them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop Hemispheres? You want to take out one of the biggest highlights of the tour and add Hand Over Fist? Wow.

But looking down your nose at something that you now say you recognize was a joke, and is itself not internally offensive (unless you think saying people who like the synth era are different is offensive) suggests maybe you take things too seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'd be ok with the Wreckers being axed for a deep cut like Prime Mover to rep HYF. On paper Prime Mover is a great choice but Geddy can't hit those notes anymore, just imagine:Anything CAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN *cough, hack, wheeze* happpennnhhh!!
