Rush - 2112 Overture Temples of Syrinx and Grand Finale - 50 Something tour - LA opening night

Your ears are hearing a very loud concert through a $15 inbuilt mic likely with post-processing.

But some live videos sound KILLER through a $15 inbuilt mic likely with post-processing?

Why do some sound great and others not so much? Don't try to act like a cell phone can't capture a good recording in 2026.

The mics haven't changed much, but the software post-processing has. Meaning it sounds "good", but it's not an accurate reflection of the source audio.

Not the first, nor the last time I'll have some man-baby call me a 'retard' for using technical knowledge to mildly challenge their feelings-based conclusions

I'd love to have seen Mark Zonder (Fates Warning) have a crack at the drummer role for this reunion. Crazy seeing him use a traditional grip for metal.

They sound great!
Geddy's voice can get a little wavery at times but at 72 years old, full points to him. No easy feat!
The tour literally just started so they will continue to play even better as it goes along.

Regardless, really happy they are touring!

Mike actually said he would not want that gig as to have to live up to the scrutiny and pressure of living up to Peart.

All the social media on this show is all on Anika and "wow she can actually play" LOL. It's actually a slight to her even though most people don't realize it.

8-year-old kids on you tube is playing Neals drums flawlessly. and not a knock-on Peart at all, one of the greatest drummers of all time.

But most good drummers can play his stuff, just like most good guitars players can play any of our hero's stuff. and Anika is proof. Most were surprised by the choice. But like I said, many teenagers cut their teeth on Peart drumming.

Great post. I'm sitting here laughing watching people up in arms about this. They sound fine. Go watch current videos on Dokken, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue and get back to me. A bunch of old cranky flaccid dicks on here anymore

Their sound poeple SUCK and should be shit canned ASAP.

Cell phone video. How come I can hear the guitars?
Probably because the Soundman didn’t mix the drums twice as loud as the rest of the instruments.

Funny, Mr Audiophile states the $15 mic in a cell-phone sucks, yet, the vocals, bass, drums, are all recorded pretty damn good on these RUSH videos..
So, there goes your argument, retard.
