winter17 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I've seen so many threads where Geddy's worst moments are talked about. How about his best? This is fairly straightforward. I mean both on an album or live. In no particular order:Losing ItMiddletown Dreams, the first verse or soThe last chorus of Between the Wheels, liveCircumstances from the Snakes tourWhat are your choices? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Girl Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hmmm...there are many great moments but my personal favorites are 2112, particularly Discovery.Natural Science, all of it but especially the very last stanza...'Wave after wave...' yeah, that one. Not only is it a genius bit of lyrics but Geddy sings it beautifully. Just an excellent song all around.And Nobody's Hero...I just think it's a great song. Sad, poignant regardless of 'that line'. The acoustic guitar and the way Geddy sings it all come together to make a beautiful song. There are others, many others...those are just a few off the top of my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfwayToGone Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 The entire hemispheres album is in my opinion pretty much every member of Rush at the pinnacle of their chops. ATWAS shows exactly how dangerous those guys were getting around that time, and that was pretty much just straight up live without any airbrushing of the blemishes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddysMullet Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I really love how over-the-top Geddy's vocals are in this performance of 2112 from 1976. At around 13:28, "My liiiiiiiiieeefeblo-od...woooo lawwd! spills OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHoooooooooo-vaaaa-aaaaah!" is rock'n'roll histrionics at its finest! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJPAjiSX7Rk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushman2112 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 For me, it's always been the last verse of Freewill. Each of us, a cell of awareness... A friend of mine placed the song in Pro Tools and slowed in down while keeping it in the same key. Geddy's vocals became even more epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) - Resist from Rush In Rio That was an especially poignant rendition of the song as well. Edit: I haven't watched Rio in a while, and I am watching Resist on Youtube right now. The first thing that struck me is how young they look (ESPECIALLY Alex) even though it's not really that long ago. Always brings tears to my eyes watching that. :) Edited July 4, 2016 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Many of my favourite Geddy vocal moments are his passionate interjections in live performances. HEYs and OH YEAH!s that just seem to burst out of him, howls like this one at around 3:38 of Distant Early Warning from Rush in Rio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNQ_tEtMT7c and in particular the vocal display of wild emotion that starts at around 4:11 of Witch Hunt from Grace Under Pressure Live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbNPhNuMDJM :wub: Edited July 7, 2016 by GeddysMullet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkPrattLerxst Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hemispheres will always be amazing for vocals. 2112 too. I like pretty much anything that he's put out except maybe a few songs from S&A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddysMullet Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I really love Geddy's vocal performance of "Heart Full Of Soul" from R30. There's a vulnerable, romantic quality to his voice here that really gives the song poignance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
