Ged Lent's sis Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) I don't feel comfortable weighing in here, as I have not seen them in years and think the adequate judgement can come from having witnessed it personally. So why am I commenting? It's the Internets!!!11 Red Barchetta live from the Time Machine DVD is particularly cringe-worthy.Every performance of Red Barchetta over the last how many years now? Personally I think the worst vocal performances Geddy ever did was Tom Sawyer and The Spirit Of Radio at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony. He just sounded way off and more like he was forcing the song rather than singing. However ole Ged made a triumphant return and redeemed himself during Crossroads. :finbar: I wouldn't go so far as to say the worst here ^^, but I do think it's a shame that the audience there not intimately familiar with the music did not get to witness the power of his voice from back in the day. I'd like to think that the performance in the aggregate impressed at least a few newbies in the building anyway, but if they'd heard an 80's rendition, no doubt there'd have been converts. :clap: :clap: :Alex: :Neil: :geddy: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Let's just say Geddys worse is still way better than my bestAww that's terrible...poor thing...Have a cupcake and a tale of Mick's teenage love shenanigans.Come on Mick! Roll on the tales!Maybe we can hire Mick out for campfire gatherings. Send him to camp with a bag of marshmallows and a stick. Make it a bag of chips and let me stay home cramming my face full whilst watching an upload of shaky, nausea-inducing video w/ head-scratchingly poor sound quality of said tale rolling and I'll tell you which one was the worst? :outtahere: Edited August 30, 2015 by Ged Lent's sis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 IMO My Favourite Headache album is perhaps Geddy's best 'recent' whole album vocal performace. Maybe it's because he wrote the lyrics (I think?) and didn't have to shoe-horn Neil's words in the music. Worst = CA Live DVD. Everything about that is the worst. Deserved a better representation.

Eel Yddeg Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Just heard 2112 on Show Of Hands.God! I've never heard Geddy sing so bad. His voice sounds so unnatural. I heard he was sick most of the HYF tour.http://www.vevo.com/watch/rush/2112-the-temples-of-syrinx-la-villa-strangiato-in-the-mood-(live-from-show-of-hands)/USUV712019814/26/1994 is also really bad.Other than that, he mostly sounds fine. I still like his voice on this tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That live DVD I've only watched once all the way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Let's just say Geddys worse is still way better than my best Aww that's terrible...poor thing...

Jomboni Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Any recordings of that I could listen to? I don't remember it sounding bad when I saw them play it, but that was a long time ago at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 The Spirit of Radio from CA Tour is pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkPrattLerxst Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 The Spirit of Radio from CA Tour is pretty bad. I remember being at a loss for words because of how bad he sounded when CA Tour first came out. I can bear it more now than I could then though.

AnEggplant Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I feel bad for Geddy when he has to sing the pre-Signals stuff. I think Signals and after he's mostly fine, he just needs to sing in his range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Little Victory Yeah Ceiling did not work live all imo, glad they dropped it. Sucks because its one of my favorite songs on VT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerofthor Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 During Ceiling he sounds fine through the verses, but the chorus is just horrendous. I seem to remember an isolated vocal track going around, and it was just cringe worthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
