I disagree. I thought that Rick sounded great on the Mermaid version of Comfortably Numb... and that was a rehearsal show in which everything should have been relatively bad.

I didn't like the singing on Comfortably Numb when David tried to sing it on his old solo tours, and I thought that the weird harmony version (with Rick, Guy Pratt and Jon Carin singing together) was not bad, but not so great. From the stuff I've heard online of David's tour, though, I think that Rick is NAILING Roger's parts... the best anyone besides Roger has ever sung it.

Also, actually, from hearing the the live versions online, I think that Rick's voice is actually in better shape that it was in the latter-day Floyd tours. That happens to some people... people's voices tend to lose some of their range as they age, but sometimes, they learn how to effectively sing within their new range, and their singing actually improves as a result.

Finally, those vocals on Echoes are more of a harmonized duet than harmonies.

Rick's singing rocks! rocker
