TimR Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1418846366' post='2634075'] And a modern stadium that will have factored in live sound/gigs being part of its income so would probably have engineered it to a degree. The old Wembley had a crowd 'roar'...which was great for football as the atmosphere was very good, but it was also a dustbin ( which helped achieve the 'roar' ) and the more modern stadiums aren't so closed in...and have less crowd sound. One doesn't compliment the other .. [/quote] That's what I was thinking. I remember they closed the roof for a Rugby final a while back. Don't think it was done because of the weather. Rugby is an all weather sport (except on frozen ground). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yes. You wouldn't want the roof closed at a gig!! http://www.saracens.com/stadium-roof-closed-for-heineken-cup-final/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb1 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Been to several gigs at the Band on the Wall Manchester. Bass sound always poor- no definition, even for Jimmy Haslip. Harvey Mason's Bass drum boomed all night long - which of course got in the way of the Bass guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrismanbass Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Its not live but anyone else watch Queen + Adam Lambert last night and think the mix for broadcast was very good bass sound was excellent classic P Bass tone and everything sounded crisp and tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I thought the bass was a tad quiet but yes great Precision tone, you could pick out all instruments easily enough. The only thing I didn`t like was the extra percussion, I thought that was mixed too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] i guess to add extra punch for certain things i noticed him hitting timpani during we will rock you The percussionist is Rufus Taylor as well so i guess Roger wants him on the gig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
