Rush live, is amazing. Yet I would and have criticized geds vocals many times during many tours.
Back on topic,
This is not about large venues or the mix stage left/right or downtown.
This is about the tightness of the band and the lacking vocals.
They were not in sync, their harmonies were off and they were singing flat alot and just seemed to be struggling.
I don't care that Stevie didn't float around like a butterfly all night like some have mentioned.
I am only being critical of the musicianship between Stevie and Lindsy.
John and Mick were really good for the most part.
I'm not the only one folks. Many of the reviews while rating over all a good show, a few reviews did pick out and mention the same things i am saying.
You can't really discern AT the show or after the show based on memories how good or bad it actually was.
I'll be honest and say after we left the detroit show, I was thinking it was pretty good. At the time I didn't notice or recollect anything negative going on.
It wasn't until I listened to the show that I noticed the things i'm talking about.
I would pick on the Pittsburgh show (because the awesome pro sounding audio we have of it) to really make my point. But, many would say thats the first show it doesn't count!...lol
However, i don't know how anyone could deny after listening to that show that it was not very tight.
And those same issues continue....at least they did in Detroit and even worse in To.
By the way, for us canucks it wasn't $150 a ticket. Thats American pricing. It was actually $234 per ticket after exchange.
I hope they get better as they go. I really do.

I appreciate that you have a difference of opinion. I appreciate that you stick with your opinion. Again, I think without a good recording of that Detroit show, you cannot judge it.
My point: Did you, at the time you left The Palace, feel as though you got your money's worth? My guess? I am sure you did. That is what it was about. You were entertained. You may have even smiled, danced, or were singing along?!?! So from that- the band did it's job. The band is playing really really well. There will always be a little something to judge. These are humans... Look at Janis... how frequently was she in tune? But she made us feel, think, and moved us. That is what it is all about. They did their job, they did it well.
