Just to add my 2 euros, I do still miss Jordan\'s vocals on certain songs, but Tim, Ron and Adrian really stepped up to the plate while they were a trio. Tim\'s vocals have certainly improved, no doubt in part , due to the Timmy Tour and Ron is much more consistent. Adrian has probably made the greatest progress - how any drummer can even try to sing is still a mystery to me, so full marks to him. As has been said earlier in this thread, Matt\'s voice is something to get used to. Sometimes he gets it, some times he doesn\'t, but at least he\'s having a go and getting lessons too.
Vocals on the LB show were not wonderful at times, but you can\'t hit it every night. I think the harmonies have developed nicely, especially with a fourth voice on board and they can only get even better. as for that show, also cut teh guys some slack, they were playing a Phish album in front of Phish\'s hometown crowd - takes balls of steel to do that, especially with Mike G there too.
In general, some of the worst vocals I\'ve heard in the past few months have been on the covers, especially the Van Halen songs, which I don\'t like anyway - I still ask myself what they were thinking when they planned the FF9 encores - Hot For Teacher was awful to my ears. I know covers often give Tim a break, but I think other cover avenues should be explored, which perhaps suit Ron and Matt\'s voices better, though I can\'t for the life of me think of any suggestions right now.
