I'll go out on a limb (and probably take quite a few with me) and state that Gord's voice is even better than in his "Dream Street Rose" days. For one reason, I think he works harder at making his voice fluid; alternately forceful, gentle and always emotive.
I compared what Gord did in concert with "Ribbon of Darkness" when he was last in Vegas to the same song on his earliest album. I found the present version vastly more musical. As for range, well...perhaps I should defer to some of the more eloquent, previous writers!
