As far as the other end of his range, i couldn't help ya.

Cheers,
Ox | Yes there's a link on Wikipedia to an interview where he says that Freewill is the highest he can sing.

On the lower side of our voices, it becomes closer to our speaking register, but the higher side can in theory go on indefinitely, particularly in a male.
I realize you're probably asking what his range is from exact note to exact note, but perhaps only Geddy knows for sure--if he's even taken the time to find out. (For example, when I was younger before my voice had fully matured I had a working range of 2 octaves and Perfect 4th. It may be different now, and I'd have to work to find out just what my limits are.)

I guess if you're not a fan, their music kind of froze in time around 2112 or maybe Permanent Waves, huh?

| | | | Tenor bacause of his timbre, but I really doubt that he ever reached that high G somebody mentioned. |

| | | | I remember back in the early 80's how he could really scream. He's definately lost a great portion of his range,.Although for his age he's impressive.
