These guys are great, but I want to say that the harmonies seem a little off in the vocals. I have the studio recording and it is of course right on. OWA, OWA. But the AMBASSADOR is unreal.
You're right cristicini. The harmonies seem a lot off at the outset. Having seen them live 3 times I can vouch for the general live quality of the harmonies. Maybe its a problem with not being so used to a stage so large? Would love to hear from Jamie or another band member on this subject.
Listening now, the vocals are being more pronounced after the really bad bit...you can even make out a few more of the lyrics than usual. Never having played live myself on such stages, my guess is that the monitors were too quiet or had the wrong things sent to them. Maybe they were first on and the sound engineer was still akip in his tent. Maybe Richard Branson kept them up all night in his private jet flying around the bermuda triangle, jealous that they are under Sony's umbrella!
@tkonan if the sound techies aren't doing a very good job, that would explain it, or maybe it was just it took a while to get into the groove of the vocal parts, both could be very reasonable explanations.
