Beautiful tone. Fuller than I usually associate with Geddy and reminding me of Entwistle's tone on later Who recordings.

I watched this last night. Great bass and as always they sound great. But that's an embarrassing vocal performance. Understandable, I guess, given how high he used to sing and how the voice changes as people get older. Still, not great.

That didn't stop me from preordering r40, though.

It appears that they realize that live performances are getting to be to much for them. In an interview, Geddy pretty much said they are done touring.
