If you want to hear something different from RUSH and Geddy's voice, then watch "The Garden" from their Clockwork Angels tour. I literally cry each time I hear it, because it was near the end of them touring, and it was Neil's way of saying "Goodbye". The foreshadowing of what was to come years later is chilling.

There is another Rush song is also very emotional. Song is Red Sector A. Red Sector A is very personal to Geddy Lee because Neil wrote about liberation of Nazi Concentration Camp near Bergen-Belsen. One of the survivors was Geddy Lee's mother, Manya (Mary). His father was held in another concentration near Dachau. Geddy Lee stated his mother has very thick accent. She calls him, "Geddy" as his birth's is Gary Lee. I think this song is a tribute to his parents and other survivors.

It is a compilation video, all mashed together, of the many different videos of Rush playing that song, from 1977, to 1984, to 1988, and in 1996. It's a really fun compilation and the recording is from the Test for Echo tour and that version is really wild! Check out this: kzitem.info/news/bejne/rpt5ya6Ln3WUpoo

I played Bass in my younger years and I felt like a "real" bass player once I learned that song Tough as hell and he does it while singing.

There is no such thing as a bad Rush performance. I saw them in concert at least a dozen times myself. And from the mid-90s onward, they played a three hour show with no opening band. They never failed to put on an amazing performance. And they are my favorite band of all time, with Nightwish being a very close second.

Mr. Peart was/is my hero. And I was so moved. I equate it to my pilgrimage to Mecca. I had been wanting this for so many years my emotions took over. I’m not saying other music can’t move you in that same way. But the buildup of years of worship turned me into a blubbering mess. Miss you professor!!

Redheadedneighbor. Geddys voice became deeper because he couldn't sing the high notes anymore. He didn't sing incorrectly, or abuse his voice, in his younger years. He just "over used" it. Singing in his style, always at a high pitch, finally caught up to him. And of course age changes everything! He's like Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden: he had a great "belt" in his early years, but singing the high notes (which is his signature sound), is not the same now. But these guys are and will always be my heroes. When the news broke here in Canada (and it WAS breaking news), that Neil passed in January of 2020 (just before the pandemic hit us all), I cried... absolutely balled my eyes out for hours! And was very depressed for days and weeks after his death. Rush had come to an end, and would never be again. R.I.P. brother Neil. Anyway, love your reactions. I can tell you really "get" Rush, which is amazing since so many don't get them...at all. Cheers from 🇨🇦.
