This one's out of sync, but Mike there are cool vids of him hitting the F# and other high notes on the Octavarium world tour. I think he's back on top of his game. Definitely improved 1000%.

Pretty cool he can hit those notes again like he used to in '92.

Seen those a while ago, thought the other one might be interesting as its a duet between the two and as such it shows clearly that Labrie is better than Tate is these days at least. At his best (Late 80's etc) NO ONE is better than Tate, though almost everything hes done post 94' is complete ass by comparison to his previous achievements.

IMO (based on other youtube footage) Labrie actually sings those notes better now than he used to back in the day.
 
I vote Labrie on this because although Geoff Tate is my favourite singer Mindcrime and before. He blows some very girthy cock now. Labrie has gotten it back and rules now. Labrie on many albums is own. Live he is own too now. And Human Equation FTW.
 
LaBrie rules.

I love them both, but I think LaBrie has a nicer soft voice for more intimate sounding melodies and sections in songs.

Plus I think Geoff Tate sounds thin in his upper register compared to LaBrie, even though Tate can go like a perfect 5th higher than LaBrie or something, haha..
 
LaBrie is better now than he ever has been. The first few albums make me cringe at time with his voice.

Am I the only who doesn't like Awake?
