Marvin Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Kylie at Hyde Park last night on BBC4...I lasted 20 secs. Not Kylie's fault...why is live sound, even recorded live sound, if that's not an oxymoron, such a problem for the BBC? The sound was awful! The vocals, this time seemed way louder than everything else which you couldn't hear anyway. I turned over and there was Eric Clapton in the mid and far east (something like that). The sound was markedly better...unfortunately the camera work for the live show segments were naff. I went to sleep than. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to tell them how to mic stuff up, they had no idea. Sound on TV recordings of festivals etc. is often bad. You’d think they would take the feed off the mix desk which should be reasonably well balanced if the guys on the desk are doing their job properly.

Cliff Edge Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 SkyArts this afternoon. Don Henley Austin City Limits at 15.00. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. 2006 concert in Gainesville. At 18.20. This may be the concert featured in the Running Down a Dream documentary. If it is it’s well worth a watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Just started watching McCartney 3,2,1 on Disney + Series of six 30 min programmes of Macca chatting with Rick Rubin about his career and everything that has shaped it. Really interesting stuff and shot in black and white too. Recommended. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Just watching the prog about Jeff Lynne & ELOs Wembley concert. Pretty good, decent sound - which must have been difficult considering how many instruments- and a left handed bassist playing with the strings from G at the top to E on the bottom - obviously learned on a right handed one upside down.

Yep, they just introduced the band and I purposely listened out to find out who he was, and yes he’s very good, one song involved a rather fast amount of riffing and it looked like a walk in the park to him.

Lozz196 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I loved it that in Viz he was always called Ken, as if he was so insignificant they couldn’t be bothered to get his name right 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_dinger Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) I am currently enjoying The Eagles in concert. I am also wondering why the bassist changes his bass between songs - they all sound the same through my £45 Freeview Plus box, and hifi . . . Edited August 28, 2021 by bass_dinger more better words.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeyboro Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Let you into a secret - the Eagles have always sounded like their records on anything I’ve seen. Loved em, but as exciting live as watching wet Dulux... YMMV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of mine was the MD for them for that gig, remember seeing photos he took from the stage. He appears in the documentary too, playing guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
