Nicolas Group: Members Posts: 208 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Sep. 19 2007, 11:43 That was the day I was there too, IIRC. Tati, were you also standing in the mid, front rows? (I was at about row 4, a bit left from the mid but that shouldn't matter as I assume the PA is mono). No, I'm not asking whether you saw me . What I want to know is whether you also thought the guitar was very silent in the mix often? Some Oldfield guitars were quite silent, and Ike Turner's guitar was virtually inaudible on the first song. Did you also notice this? Maybe I was just standing in a bad spot, I don't know. I was close enough to hear the strings directly but I often had problems hearing them through the PA. John Miles' guitars and the E-band were loud in the mix, no problem there. (and john miles amazed me in how versatile he is as an artist. He brings his own work perfect, is an excellent Springsteen singer, did Shadow on the Wall perfect and I prefered him over Tony Henry in their duet.) Back to top

I was quite impressed with the sound quality - you could hear clearly the singers' voice,the instruments - even on international gigs here in Brazil,you can count in one hand how many of them the sound was perfect,at least on the ones I've attended(which were many,really). I've always enjoyed John Miles' voice,besides being a MO fan I do like The Alan Parsons Project,and some of my fav tunes of APP features JM on vocals.He did a fantastic job on SOTW,he didn't want to emulate Roger Chapman,and it was the best choice to sing that tune @ NNOTP. -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Sep. 27 2008, 19:17 Sorry for the off-topic, but I've got a couple of comments about that TB @ NotP video... 1) If Mike could play bass so good in 2006, why didn't he play a real bass on the "Introduction" track of TB 2003? 2) What should be the loud organ chord in the middle of the piano theme is very poorly rendered here. That chord used to scare me when I listened to TB (1973) and it still did, somehow, when I heard it on TB 2003. But here it sounds like a bleep from a cheap Commodore 64 videogame. P.S.: The order page is in only in Dutch! How are non-Dutch-speakers supposed to carry this through? I managed to, because, luckily, I know some German, and luckily Dutch looks a bit like German. However, an English version of the page would be most welcome, thank you. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
