SHOW REVIEW :
-------------
This is the second time in a week I saw Pink Floyd, erhm
sorry, I mean David Gilmour. I liked the Paris Olympia
show a lot (see "He Spoke French!" FA024). At Paris, the
band seemed to enjoy themselves more, David was happy to
play in France and had a lot of fun and interaction with
the audience. The venue was very special too and a
majority of the audience was made of diehard fans and
collectors.

Now Amsterdam First Night was very different. The type
of audience was more ecclectic, ranking from the usual
PF freaks to the housewife who was expecting to hear
Money but never heard of a song called Echoes. I won't
say the audience wasn't receptive or cold, but they were
very polite... I can't compare it better than with the
Japanese audience from the early seventies. It was a real
pleasure to be able to hear songs until the very very last
faded out note before they began to clap. It is very
enjoyable not to have to shout SIT YER FUK'N ASS DOWN.
Actually, in the middle of a song you might even think
this is a soundboard source, that's how quite and
respectful the audience was.

So yes, the venue wasn't on fire, and I admit the
performance was a little more mechanical than in Paris.
Maybe that the band felt the 'coolness' too, but in my
opinion and in terms of performance, this is one of the
best show from the European tour because they played
perfectly. All songs are flawless, Technical issues, unlike
on other nights, were minor and few (David "lost a bit
of guitar" just after A Pocketful of Stones but it didn't
screw up a song). The band gave the best of what they
could play, wrapped in stage smoke and laser shows that
hasn't to blemish from the comparison with the stadion
tours. Actually we are blessed David chose to play smaller
venues for this tour : half this show would be impossible
to play in open field or stadions. We couldn't have enjoyed
Dominoes, Wot's Uh Deal, and even this maestro
re-orchestration of Shine On anywhere else than in music
halls.

Who do we have here on stage? "The voice and guitar of
Pink Floyd" ; the original keyboard player and arranger ;
Dick Parry, the same sax as on the DSOTM album, the band's
first additional live musician ; Jon Carin who can be counted
as a fulltime live member since 1987 and also tours (and
will tour again) with good ol' Roger ; Guy Pratt, familiar
from the 94 tour too ; ... you bought a ticket for David
Gilmour, but you'll come out dreaming of the best Pink Floyd
show you've heard in years :-)


QUOTES OF THE DAY :
-------------------
"..." - DG: "Sorry ?" - "You're 60!" - DG: "I know."
DG: "Right, we're gonna sing one more song here...
well, _ I _ am gonna sing it - they're gonna play it.
And this is called Where We Start. We're gonna take a
short break after this ... to regather our senses."
Some idiot: "SYD BARRETT I WISH YOU WERE HERE" DG: "Yeah yeah"
Some dude right before WTIO singing: "Is there anybody out there?"
Some other dude after CN: "Hey David, thank you very, very much"
and of course ... "YEESHKUL!"


RELEASE NOTES :
---------------
I had a sweet spot to record from : the dude on my left was
VERY silent and respectful, on my right there was an empty
seat, the young guys up front where very pleasant too, i
only had a few talkers in the back, but nothing bad. God
bless, I wasn't right beside the SYD BARRETT shouter.
I would have slapped him anyway.

This is everything I recorded, with the exception of 20 secs
of set break and one 0.1 second edit of a sneeze of a neighbour
somewhere between two songs. I also smoothened out a few
testing taps on the mics (before Echoes e.g.).
The original digital recording was very nice already, but
it suffered from a few anomalies I had to correct first.
First, I was located pretty much on the left side from stage
in front of a wall of loudspeakers and I had to look left to
see the stage. Since my mics are in-ear, the right channel was
pretty much louder than the left one. After increasing the
volume of the right channel I also mixed a bit of the left one
in it to balance the levels a bit better.
The other big issue is one I faced already at the PAris Olympia
show : most part of the gig is in mono and sometimes it switches
from mono to stereo. that's because of some loose connection
somewhere along the line of mic connectors or in the battery
module or something. Actually it's dual mono : the channels are
identical but nicely separated. It doesn't just "hang" somewhere
in between your speakers, there is a little spatiality. It took
me a lot of time to make seamless smooth transitions between
those changes in panning, still you will hear some occuring if
you listen with a headset. It's much less obvious through
loudspeakers and that's how I advice to listen to this one.
I also EQ'ed the original recording which sounded a bit dark, so
I pushed the dynamics for guitar and vocals a bit.

I hope you'll all like it nevertheless, enjoy!

Бутлегов у самого выше крыши... девать некуда..

BeatleJohn и Гилмора этого года тур? :rolleyes:
bob3194
Хочу! А качество как?
BeatleJohn
Олч, в дц хабах есть ВСЕ выступления Гилмора этого года. Я просто идейно не переношу концерты - Макка ли, ПФ ли или ещё кто-то. Я только студией интересуюсь. И на концерты не хожу уже давно. ;)

Твоё мнение заслуживает уважения и соответствующая кнопа в голосувалке имеется, НО есть и другое, но нет кнопы по торренту :(

я тоже не хожу :rolleyes: но с записью вживую, а если ещё и с отличным качеством, никакая студия сравнится не может! :cool: :hi:

так к тебе приехать в гости просто, мы ж москвичи, только тащить с собой очень много. Лучше перед этим список прислать, что есть. Веду такой в эксэле.

Олч
Я понимаю, что потенциально пропускаю что-то, но так уж издавна пошло, что в музыке для меня имеется некое таинство, что лишь для одного. Я и слушаю серьезные вещи, такие как пф, только один, и лучше ночью, одев свои "сенхайзеры". А концерты, большие тем более, это на публику... А так я один на один со всем что люблю и больше нет никого.

Совершенно с тобой согласен, добряк. У меня тоже это дело только ночью и получается - спокойно послушать серьёзный диск....
И по качеству записи никакой концерт не сравнится с неторопливо сделанной, продуманной до последней ноты студийкой... Звучащей так, как хочет музыкант, а не как позволяют акустика зала и аппаратура.

Но на концерты ходить надо - дабы бухнуть с друзьями под хорошую музыку. И многие музыканты это желание народа понимают и уважают :)
Вон, любимый мой Кейв, приезжая в нашу деревню, выступает исключительно в дискотечном зале (Guvernment) - с продающимся алкоголем прямо у сцены :). Разумеется, никто не танцует (хотел бы я посмотреть на танцы под Бэд Сидз :) ), все просто стоят у сцены и тащатся, периодически курсируя эдаким ледоколом к стойке и обратно...
Приезжает он не чаще чем раз в два года, понимая, что этого достаточно...

Кодирование - это ж не навсегда. Ты, кстати, насколько закодирован - на год или на три?
