| Tech Notes | "Gig Notes: The band was on the last date of the Scottish mini-tour before heading off to Japan. Support was from Remember Remember. The venue is normally a country and western club with balcony, complete with huge wall murals of an Arizona-style landscape, western-style bar adornments and the stars and stripes above the stage - in Glasgow. If you check the venue link and look at some of the photos, you will see what I mean. The house lights stayed on all the time, but with the rammed crowd, there was still plenty of atmosphere. Another great set with lots of stuff from the new album. I think this gig was a shade better than the Paisley one, perhaps as I was now more familiar with the new material, and also perhaps because the band now had four nights under their belt. Only disappointment for me was that they played Like Herod (they also played this in Paisley) instead of one of the other classics played at the other venues. Not really a problem, as they kicked serious arse. Christmas Steps was a nice surprise. Stuart introduced an element of comedy whilst trying to set his robot-voice pedal for San Pedro. He set it and tried out the results to much laughter, and things went downhill from there. Always good to see some humour on stage. Recording notes and sound quality: I farted around with this for some time, as I really didn't like the raw sound due to the way the bass came across - sounded very "thick". I then left it for a few months and then did the best I could without screwing the sound up, but to be honest, it does sound pretty good. Mainly some mid bass reduction. The crowd were mostly behaving during the quieter parts and me being a few feet from the RH PA stack helped matters. band links http://www.mogwai.co.uk/ http://www.myspace.com/mogwai http://www.youngteam.co.uk/brightlight/eng/index.php venue link http://www.glasgowsgrandoleopry.co.uk/ Please support the band by buying their albums, merch, and by going to see them live. They deserve your cash. Do NOT sell this recording, trade FREELY! No art, make you own. Enjoy!" |
