It was recorded from the board without any room mics. Thats both why the sound is so good for what you do hear and why there is no crowd sound and you can't hear the megaphone.
If you love Joy Division and Death From Above 1979 please check out The Deep Transition on facebook. They are heavily influenced by Death From Above 1979, The Horrors and Joy Division. You will not be sorry you checked. Thank you
I don't necessarily think the megaphone failed, I just think maybe Sebastien disregarded the recording microphones and didn't sing through the megaphone into one. Make sense?
they have announced 2nd gig in london hmv forum 4 may..... tickets went on sale at 5pm friday 11th...... just bought 2 tickets at 7.30pm london time friday 11th.....
@Domaye Was up early and kept refreshing the pages. 20 minutes later 4 standing tickets for me and my mates are confirmed. Happy Days. Maybe try Scarlet Mist a bit closer to the date? Good luck!! x
@Speaktrap i read somewhere how he runs like a 400 watt head through a 100 watt cab, which just overdrives the fuck out of it all. he doesnt use pedals to achieve his distortion. my memories a bit fuzzy on the details but theres quite a few forumns on the topic if u wana sus it out properly
@jordyfatnoodle hate to be "that guy" but the bass guitarist is def wah-ing it up during the interlude. As for the distortion, it sounds more like a flanger/fuzz combo...just my opinion
if anyone has the live Romantic Rights they did on Conan O'Brien they should upload it. all the versions have been taken down. It was really cool when max weinberg took over on drums halfway through the set.
Hi, It's great drumming - But the lyrics could be absolutely anything, it's completely incomprehensable - might as well leave it as an instrumental really ...
this is probably the master audio from the house equipment. what we hear lightly from the megaphone is probably whatever the mikes nearest to him picked up. too bad :P fuckin genius though
I would seriously kill to see these live. They're like one of my favourite bands now :( They are the reason a time machine needs to be invented, so we can go back in time to see they're glory.
If you guys miss DFA1979 as much as I do,there's hope. There's this band from the east coast in Canada called SpeakerScam and they sound like these guys but they're instrumental and a little proggy,check em out! myspace dot com slash speakerscam
Lol, well I wouldnt say the megaphone thing was a fail, Since there wasnt a mic hooked up, it wasnt recorded, but the Audience heard what he was saying. You can kind of hear what he's saying, (or maybe im imagining it) It's a great song, i just wished there was i mic to pick up the sound for this recording.
i respectfully disagree... there is almost always ambience and crowd mics placed out in the venue to capture the environment at the show. I think the megaphone was just really over powered by the bass or the battery failed lol. If this was a planned show to be recorded, judging by the quality it was. This would have been rehearsed and sound checked. Something definitey went wrong.
I have that same Peavey Super Festival he uses!
