Wooderson Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Reckon so yeah. I'll be giving Dublin the swerve. The 200 notes that day will cost me will take care of return flights and a hotel in a city with a half decent volume limit. My ears were ringing after Limerick and Belfast. I had to wear earplugs at the last RDS show he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 My ears were ringing after Limerick and Belfast. I had to wear earplugs at the last RDS show he did. Kilkenny wasn't anywhere near loud enough. Being able to hear people talk in the crowd over the band is bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Dansons Wig Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Outside stadium venues are just different degrees of shit sound. Might not be quite as bad at some - but it still doesnt compare to any decent indoor place. Even the big caverns like the o2 are better than Wembley etc. Only way to get it without the echo is in the pit. Might come back slightly later of course and play the arenas say September/ October. Whats the sound at the o2 in Dublin like? Sound at the old Point seemed alright to me the few times I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the sound at the o2 in Dublin like? Really nice and clean and shit. The old Point was filthy but the sound was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Dansons Wig Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Havent been to Wembley Arena in probably 20 years (that might have been Bruce as well) but the sound was bloody awful in those days at the back. Which was why I stopped going there. We werent in the pit at Wembley - it wasnt great further back in GA. Sound at Hard Rock in Hyde Park in 2012 even before the great switch off fiasco was as bad as I've ever heard at an outdoor gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Think Kilkenny was done on the cheap Nal. Limerick and Belshaft both had central speaker towers. Wembley Arena sound was ok(ish) when I was there. Hyde Park as bad as it gets. Don't think anything will beat the Tempodrome in Berlin for sound quality for me. Absolutely immaculate. Thought Heaton Park last summer was really good in fairness. Weighty and crisp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Dansons Wig Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) And on a completely unconnected unnecessary and almost completely inappropriate twist. Warren Zevon - 10 years gone in a couple of weeks.

The Nal Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Ballsy. Really ballsy. Cover of a Victor Jara song who was kidnapped, beaten and killed in the 73 coup - a coup sponsored by the US government. This week is the 40th anniversary of the coup.

DomDom1984 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Much like on the last album, good to hear one of the live favourites on there. The version of The Ghost of Tom Joad is excellent too I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Dansons Wig Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Three or four good ones (and those the ones he's been doing for a while and have been available on bootlegs or YouTube) and a bunch of filler Gary US Bonds or Southside would have rejected a few years back. And over-wrought production to a ridiculous level. And Morello's wailing guitar all over it. Meh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
