What do people think of Alex's singing on the bootleg from 30th June 1997 at Molson Amphitheater?
Alex's singing really stands out louder than Geddys when he joins in. I really liked it, I always thought he was miming singing when I've seen live videos in the past.

The audio version is a rare scanner sourced recording. Unlike a soundboard recording that equally captures all instrument and mic feeds, a scanner would lock into a single feed of one of the band member's monitor/earpiece. Due to this, Alex's backing vocals are very prominent, giving you an interesting alternate angle to hear just how much vocals Alex actually did. (And how well he could sing!) The songs Alex sings on are Dreamline, Stick It Out, Driven, Half The World, Nobody's Hero, Freewill, and Roll The Bones. Also, the acoustic guitar and some synths sound somewhat distant due to not really being picked up by the scanner, but they are audible at a decent volume. Other than that, the electric guitar, bass, drums, and Geddy's vocals (and Alex's) are all very clear and balanced, thus this recording is pretty much soundboard-like quality.
