Bought a preamp from Ian, no issues at all! Thanks Ian.

42:30 is quite fun!

I'm listening now and I like it even though it'spretty relentless. It's not for everyone and would make Mrs MGB's brain itch, so I'm on a nice pair of headphones. 

Loads of her stuff on YouTube.

She has timing, groove, harmony and creativity - all nailed.

Has anyone on here ever paid money up front to join a band?

You can have cracking musicians, terrific mix etc but the tunes have to be quality and these are all classics. I am not an EJ fan (that might well change)  but this is real quality. The guy is 76 years old ffs.

Absolutely. A revelation. So enjoyable.

Watching Candi Staton on the Beeb...the bass player killing it on "Young hearts run free".

One of my favourite songs.  He's playing a Stingray 5 too.

Elton's sound engineers deserve medals!

How much better is Elton’s sound than GNR? That stingray is slicing through the mix wonderfully. 

Top class sound. 

Elton is rocking this. Great guitarist. Another MM 5 string on show.

The Pretenders - what a set, what a band.

Quality all round. 

Can't quite believe how bad GnR were.

Lizzo was very entertaining. She always looks like she's having a ball.

I toured with one of these for years and never lacked volume (with 2 x Peavey 410TX).  I never had the tone controls fully counter clockwise.  My recollection is that doing so did result in much less overall volume.    Fully agree on the input gain - had it flashing red but the sound was sill clean, so it's another case of using your ears rather than eyes!

I've always REALLY disliked this version. The drums kill it (not in a good way).

How to ruin a song!

Great mix! And top bass playing. Who is he?

Hilarious!

OK thanks. I thought it was yet another technical feature I had failed to use!

I can’t see how to do this. I'd like to get notifications of certain items for sale as they come up!

Thanks.

You must have missed this thread!

Maybe we as punters are partly to blame because we don't say anything, other than on forums like these.

 

If every time the sound was crap we posted on the band in question's social media pages, and if we could find out who had been hired in to do the FoH post on their pages too, and if it's an in-house PA on the venue's pages as well. Then if enough people do it, then it might become obvious that a mix that is all boomy kick drum is not want the audience want.

Good idea. If it was my band I'd be mightily hacked off to find out FoH sound was substandard. I'd want to know!

On R4 Extra at 2:30pm today, and here:

I was enjoying the Duran Duran performance until that woman came on and started rapping halfway through one track.

I thought the rap brought it bang up to date and added some levity and modern day relevance.  Hey ho.
