Idlewild - American English - Live at Aberdeen

[nickdc1]

Good video, but no sence of it being live... but good live band non the less

@nickdc1 What do you mean no sense of it being live? It's an absolute gem of a song and perhaps the best song Idlewild has ever written. Why shouldn't they play it live?

[nickdc1]

@sergeantfan You misunderstand, its the sound quality, its too perfect if anything and no sense of crowd. For a live performance you want the sound a little distant as if coming from the arena's speakers, and mixed in with the atmosphere of the crowd.

Live albums sometimes try and con the listener by having a constant live noise edited in... like Cold Play's live album, or The Who's -Who's Last album which is dreadful. Its a tricky mix... but hey, love this band.

@nickdc1 i see what ur saying but i get the sense of it being live. if u wanna see a 'live' performance with the most ridiculous amount of editing, check out bon jovi's lost highway live dvd

[northcountrybhoy]

@nickdc1 its recorded live directly from the mix desk. u can't expect much crowd noise when the instruments are being used as they are being recorded directly where the crowd are not....

Amazing band. Why this song wasn't a hit in the States is beyond me. Same goes for No Emotion. I hope they tour here again
